Pirates' Max Level System

"Strange, this rat man seems to be hiding from Doflamingo. Aren't they cooperating?" Aokiji temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart. Whether they had a falling out or there was another hidden story, he could not guess it based on such a few clues.

Elsewhere, the casino's restroom had been thoroughly excavated. The Don Quixote family withdrew their operations after confirming there were no hidden passages or secret rooms. However, they seemed to have found some clues among the belongings left behind by Beta the Ratman. Aokiji could hear Doflamingo's exaggerated laughter even without a listening device.

The secret was right there, so close yet so far away. It was as if countless foxtail grass were scratching at Aokiji's heart, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Resisting the urge to rob Doflamingo, Aokiji watched the Don Quixote family go away.

A sign reading "Under Repair" was placed on the door of the casino's restroom. In an attempt to find the nonexistent secret room, the Don Quixote family searched the entire restroom, rendering it unusable.

Half an hour after the Don Quixote family left, a naked man suddenly appeared in the bathroom.

"Well, these guys are so dangerous. I will never cooperate with them again next time." The rat man Beta looked like he had survived a disaster and sighed sincerely.

Using the bathroom sewer, the rat man Beta hid under the casino and did not dare to show up until half an hour after the Don Quixote family left.

In the devastated bathroom, the rat man Beta picked up a piece of fallen wall debris and broke one of the tiles, revealing a glass test tube the size of half an arm.

At this moment, a strange voice sounded in the ears of the rat man Beta.

"You've waited so long just to get this thing back. It must be very important."

Nezumi reacted immediately, completely ignoring the glass test tube that was about to be in his hands. He rolled to the side, avoiding a spur of ice. Aokiji appeared at the bathroom door, and the ice froze the door and the wall behind him.

After Doflamingo and his men left, Aokiji discovered something strange: the mark he had made did not leave with them. Doesn't that mean that Nezumi Beta didn't leave?

Aokiji's guess was correct. Nezumi Beta had a special way of hiding himself from being discovered. So when the mark became active, Aokiji immediately rushed into the bathroom. Not only did he see the missing Nezumi, but he also saw some eye-catching things.

Do you think I'm hanging?

No, I'm afraid of needles.

If given a choice, Aokiji would let Nezumi put on some clothes before talking to him, but reason told him that it would be better to get the glass test tube first.

"I'm very curious, who are you cooperating with, the Vinsmoke family or the Don Quixote family?" Aokiji took the test tube in his hand and said slowly to the rat man.

Seeing that Nezumi remained silent, Aokiji continued, "Don't be silent, let's talk. Maybe I'll return this thing to you if I'm happy."

"Is this the way the navy is getting intelligence now?"

Facing Nezumi's sarcasm, Aokiji didn't take it seriously: "At least it works. Your cooperative relationship with the Vinsmoke and Don Quixote families doesn't seem as close as it seems."

"What's so strange about this? The only person you can rely on is yourself."

Aokiji nodded in agreement. He finally understood Beta's intentions. He was trying to diversify his investments to maximize their benefits. If that was the case, perhaps he could make some moves. A flash of his eyes, and Aokiji's mind clicked.

"Since you are looking for a suitable buyer, you might as well consider our navy. What they can give you, the navy will also give you as much." Aokiji said.

The rat man Beta nodded solemnly, his eyes fixed on the glass test tube. "I can consider it, but before that, give me what you have in your hand."

Aokiji probably didn't expect Nezumi to agree so readily, and was speechless for a moment.

"What's wrong? Don't you have any sincerity at all?" the rat man urged.

"I'm suddenly a little curious about what could be so important. Can you explain it to me?"

"No comment."

Being rejected by Nezumi, Aokiji scratched his head in frustration and said, "Okay, here you go."

Aokiji said as he made a move to throw the weapon. At the same time, Nezumi Beta also went on alert.

As the glass tube left his hand, three icy spikes spread out from three directions: one protected the tube, one blocked the rat man's escape route, and the last aimed directly at the rat man, intending to freeze him into an ice sculpture. This was the "rat trap" that Aokiji had carefully prepared for him.

But what Nezumi did next stunned Aokiji. As he was on guard against the glass tube, Nezumi turned, shrank, and dashed into the sewer. With a few smooth movements, he vanished in an instant.

Aokiji didn't even have time to react, and the mousetrap became a joke.

At this point, Aokiji knew he had been tricked. When the glass test tubes fell into his hands, Nezumi had no intention of returning them. These two people had never trusted each other from the beginning.

Aokiji planned to use the glass test tube to capture the rat man Beta. However, the opponent took advantage of the situation and cooperated with him on the surface, but in fact, he was using the best strategy of retreat.

The distance between the two quickly widened, and as the mark was eliminated, Aokiji completely lost track of the rat man.

A look of helplessness played on his face, but he wasn't completely unsuccessful. Ratman Beta's regard for this glass test tube was genuine; it must be something incredibly important.

In addition to the disappearance of Nezumi, Aokiji was also concerned about one thing.

Aokiji was very curious about what secrets Doflamingo had obtained from Beta the Nezumi's clothes, and he felt the need to find out.

Chapter 711 You Won’t Bet on Me to Win

The escaping ratman Beta was still terrified, even though everything was planned. But he was a navy admiral, even with a "quasi" character, he was still an unimaginable figure in the past.

When Beta was blocked in the toilet by Aokiji, his heart was really stuck in his throat. If he hadn't known that Qin Luo was nearby, Beta would not have dared to guarantee that he had the confidence to play against Aokiji.

After a walk, the rat man Beta changed his clothes and went to the agreed meeting place.

The commotion just now has not completely subsided, and patrol teams can be seen everywhere on the streets of the underground city's black market.

Carefully avoiding possible search teams, Rat Man met Qin Luo and the other two in a bar private room.

"Thank you for your hard work. Hope you didn't reveal any flaws." Qin Luo asked.

Of course not. The Rat Man quickly shook his head and recounted the scene, believing he had performed his acting to perfection.

Speaking of flaws, Rat Man actually has some objections.

"Boss, you should have told me in advance that the general would mark me." The rat man Beta said with resentment in his eyes.

"Isn't that great? We don't have to arrange for Aokiji and you to meet. It's much easier." Qin Luo and the other 253 directors had no respect for the script at all. They easily changed the script and merged the two plays into one. Even the actors were informed of the script changes just before they went on stage.

Good, that's bullshit. Ratman Beta raged inwardly about his boss's unreliability, but ultimately chose to swallow the bitter fruit himself. The other party was the boss, and the filming ultimately depended on him. He had signed a contract to sell himself, and he had to fulfill it even if he cried.

Qin Luo and the others had originally gathered to plan the next scene, but Qing Zhi's unexpected move completed this part ahead of time. The four of them simply chatted to kill time.

Beckman asked, "Isn't the stuff in that test tube important? Isn't it a bad idea to give the Navy a bargain like this?"

With his powerful intuition, Beckman instinctively sensed the importance of the contents of the test tube. As a pirate, Beckman felt something was amiss, as he felt it was strange to see such a crucial item being handed over to the navy.

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing its young. Only after tasting blood will these vicious dogs fight even more fiercely for the bones behind them. And that stabilizer is just a defective product from someone's failed imitation. I hope the Navy's research won't go awry."

Although he said that, the gloating expression on Qin Luo's face revealed his true thoughts. This person is too bad, with a dirty mind. However, Beckman felt that heroes think alike.

There's nothing better than screwing someone over, especially if it's a Marine.

What happened in the black market dungeon could not be concealed at all. Hawkeye's roar was full of true feelings, not to mention that the killer guild run by the Vinsmoke family was also in the dungeon.

As soon as the ratman Beta returned to the Germa Kingdom, he was summoned by old Vinsmoke.

"It's really not easy to escape from those guys of Don Quixote. You haven't revealed any secrets that are detrimental to the Germa Kingdom." As soon as he came up, the rat man faced the beating of old Vinsmoke.

The look of panic on the rat man's face and his hurried explanation were exactly what old Vinsmoke expected.

Old Vinsmoke has learned what happened through intelligence. This old man is not someone who is willing to listen to other people's explanations. He will just use the muzzle of a gun to block your mouth.

If Doflamingo had brought back people instead of clothes, the Rat Man would have become a corpse on his way to see old Vinsmoke.

If it weren't for the Ratman's irreplaceable abilities, and if it weren't for the fact that the plan had just reached a critical stage, Old Vinsmoke might have dealt with the Ratman directly out of caution, but the current situation didn't allow him to do so.

"This isn't your fault. The accident at the Mercenary Guild was entirely the result of a clue left carelessly by Judge, and you were dragged into this. As compensation, these 500,000 berries are a personal gift from me. I know you have other business interests out there. I have no objection, but I hope you'll put them aside for now and focus on Judge's mission."

The conversation shifted, and Old Vinsmoke began to comfort and win over Ratman Beta. Is this what they call hitting someone with a stick and then giving them a red date? Ratman Beta was genuinely amused.

Five hundred thousand Baileys is a very attractive number for mercenaries. If it were in the past, the ratman Beta would really have been bribed.

But things were different now. This amount of money wasn't even enough for Orochimaru to buy materials for a single experiment, so how could he be tempted?

Beta the Rat Man feigned joy, thanking his employer profusely for his generosity. Old Vinsmoke also played the role of a conscientious boss, constantly asking for a raise. Both men were putting on a conscientious act, each equally impressive.

In the subsequent conversation, Old Vinsmoke assigned Ratman Beta a series of tasks. From infiltrating the research institute with explosives to exploring its defenses, the task was enough to keep Ratman Beta busy for a while, but now, they were all dumped on him, with the expectation that he would complete them quickly.

The rat man subconsciously felt that old Vinsmoke was anxious and was speeding up the implementation of his plan.

The Mercenary Association's affairs have caused considerable trouble for the Germa Kingdom. Rumors that the Vinsmoke Family possessed information about Vegapunk's location have spurred numerous factions to take action. Many Germa officials have been placed under surveillance, treated just like the Dynasul Family.

If this goes on for a long time, there will always be a time when you can no longer withstand the pressure.

Old Vinsmoke didn't know that while he was trying his best to cut his losses and hide the secret, the person in front of him had already sold the big secret he wanted to hide to multiple people.

Needless to say, Qin Luo, the clothes that the rat man Beta left for Doflamingo today are almost equivalent to an invitation.

Minced dinosaur meat, powdered volcanic ash, leaves from ancient plants...

The clues weren't spelled out in words, but there weren't many places near Calgary that matched those criteria. Even if we eliminated them one by one, we could still find the address of the Vegapunk Research Institute.

Doflamingo is a smart man, he will never miss this information. Qin Luo is very confident about this.

Calgary bustled with activity. Surfaced, the entire city was bustling with activity for the martial arts tournament. But behind the scenes, the battle for Vegapunk and his skills intensified. The sound of gunfire and blood never left the city.

In the gentle night breeze, Tsunade's voice came from behind Qin Luo: "It's so late and you're still not asleep. Be careful not to lose tomorrow's game."

"Haha, this joke is not funny at all. I can deal with that guy with just one move." Qin Luo answered without turning his head.

"Wait, you're not going to bet on me to win, are you?" Qin Luo suddenly wanted to ask a serious question.

""

Chapter 712 Metaphysics

How do you feel about a guy who always loses betting on you to win the game?

Thanks for the invitation. I’m in the United States and just got off the plane.

As a PhD in both psychology and economics, I can help you analyze this issue from multiple perspectives.

-----

above……

Forget it, I won’t go above that. I’ll buy the opposite. If it were me, I’d spend all my money and bet on the other side to win.

He doesn’t even understand the principle of “you can buy the match anyway, and the villa is by the sea”, and he’s playing a chicken gambling.

After Qin Luo asked that question, the air on the balcony suddenly became a little solemn.

Tsunade's ability is very trustworthy, and her ability to lose every time she gambles never disappoints people. Ever since she lost to Qin Luo, Qin Luo thought Tsunade would have some idea in her mind, but she didn't expect it.

Do you really want to see me lose? Qin Luo felt that he was entangled by something called metaphysics.

"Isn't this a sign of confidence in you? How could you possibly lose?" Tsunade rarely showed a little woman's attitude.

Qin Luo waved his hand. This trust was too heavy for him to bear. He couldn't imagine himself losing. Without all the battle data collected, Orochimaru might do something crazy.

The moonlight faded, dawn broke, and after a brief respite, the bustling city began to function again.

Countless people were waiting outside the martial arts tournament arena.

After reaching the round of 64, the competition finally took on a different flavor. Having become accustomed to the one-sided battles, the audience was eagerly anticipating the fierce competition that would follow. Just from the relatively small difference in the odds, one could smell the strong tension in the match.

The top 32 will not only receive the honor but also receive a bonus. It can be said that fame and fortune are within reach.

Qin Luo had turned into Ebizo early on. The water tank behind him was a few times bigger than before, and he looked like a heavy truck when walking on the road.

Some blind guys didn't dare to provoke Qin Luo directly, so they frequently fired cold shots at the big vat behind him, trying to destroy Qin Luo's props. Qin Luo had nothing to say about this situation. There are always people who want to harm me.

Qin Luo's way of dealing with these people was to lock their aura, drag them out of the crowd, and break their hands. He would break the hand that fired the gun.

When he arrived at the players' lounge, Qin Luo found that many people were not in good condition. It seemed that Qin Luo was not the only one who felt disgusted.

The first one to come on stage was still Tayuya.

Listen to the calls. If we could vote for a champion, Duoyou would definitely be first, no objection would be accepted.

Tayuya's opponent is also quite famous. As a user of armed prosthetic limbs, he is affectionately called Mad Dog because of his wolf claws.

However, his good days ended when he met Tayuya. His speed and crazy attacks were nothing compared to Tayuya.

No matter how fast you are, can you be faster than the speed of sound? If not, how can you beat me?

Despite some twists and turns, Tayuya ultimately triumphed over the opponent. Aren't the opponent's claws sharp? Tayuya used a knife to trim his nails.

Shocking! A renowned female swordsman is suspected of being involved in a pyramid scheme, transforming herself into a nail artist during competitions and forcing people to buy and sell.

After Tayuya, Beckman and Hawkeye came on the court one after another. Their opponents were all strong, but unfortunately they met the favorites to win the championship in advance and were swept away in a few moves.

Soon, it was Qin Luo's turn to play.

"Ninth match of the top 32 qualifying round, Ebizo vs. War Ghost."

The tournament organizers announced the next matchup via a broadcast. In the players' lounge, everyone's attention turned to the two players who would be facing off.

One was a favorite who had demonstrated immense strength, while the other was a brave warrior who had the misfortune of encountering the great demon. Fear and pity switched back and forth in their eyes.

War Ghost means a battlefield ghost with murderous intent. When Qin Luo first heard his opponent's title, he thought he was a battlefield undead ghost with murderous intent.
