Creating Manga Of One Piece In Pirates World Become My Ultimate Goal!
Chapter 872 Glitches in the Game World._________________
The players began to leave the game world one after the other.
In Syrup Village, the final boss there, Captain Kuro, caused a massacre due to Shiki's terrible mistake. Most of the players were killed after both Shiki and Mihawk were defeated.
Doflamingo, Rosinante, Enel, Issho, Bell-mère, Gloriosa, Bullet, Shakky, Redfield, and World all perished at the hands of Kuro. He was fully prepared to eliminate them to protect his grand plan, which was nearing its final stage: the acquisition of all the assets and wealth that Kaya inherited from her parents.
Kuro had not overlooked such variables in his plan. As a result, Beginner Village No. 3 was regarded by most players as the hardest starting point in the game.
Rob smiled as he observed the frustrated expressions on Doflamingo and the others' faces.
"How can we defeat Kuro? Do we really have to rely on Luffy to overcome this obstacle!?"
Rosinante exclaimed angrily, unwilling to leave the game so early.
"It's all because of that lunatic Shiki! He dragged us all to the grave with him! Why on earth was he screaming in the middle of the night!?"
Enel was equally furious, hating how Shiki had led them to their demise."Thankfully, he won't be playing the game again," said Bell-mère cheerfully. She, too, despised how her character had been sliced to pieces by Kuro.
"At the start, our level doesn't even qualify us as cannon fodder… Why is this game so difficult? Will it get easier when we level up?"
Issho asked as he glanced at Rob, who had been smiling at them the entire time.
Mihawk, too, looked at Rob curiously. He was deeply frustrated. Despite his character's weakness in the game, Mihawk's inherent skill allowed him to stand his ground against high-level foes like Kuro. However, it wasn't enough to overcome Kuro's sheer brute force. After all, Kuro came prepared to slaughter them all.
Mihawk was exceptionally skilled at wielding a scythe like a sword within the game, but even that wasn't sufficient against raw power. Kuro had come ready to annihilate them all.
"Naturally, since leveling up was prohibited in the closed beta, you simply can't fight pirates above level 10. Unfortunately for all of you, you started the game near one of those pirates…"
Rob explained candidly. After all, the game system had scattered players randomly, and even he had no hand in that process.
Rob knew that Beginner Villages No. 3 and No. 4 were among the toughest maps to start from at level 0. Players who began there needed to proceed with extreme caution, completing numerous quests to gain experience quickly and surpass level 10 before even considering taking on the final boss or leaving the island ahead of Luffy and his crew's arrival.
Players would gradually learn this harsh reality through repeated losses and accumulated experience. Of course, Rob didn't want to ruin the fun of the game for them.
In this game world, even the pirate emperors had to adapt to the mentality of the weak at the beginning! That was the essence of the game.
"Fufu~ If I could level up, I'd flay that arrogant Kuro alive," said Doflamingo, sarcastically. He was furious, his pride wounded after watching, powerless, as Kuro decapitated him.
The sensation had felt incredibly real! It was as if he had genuinely experienced death in this game.
Fortunately, Rob had adjusted their pain sensitivity so they wouldn't fully endure what the Beast Pirates initially felt.
"Now then, it's time to get serious. Tell me everything you discovered in the game world. Was there anything strange in Syrup Village?" Rob asked calmly.
"There's something off about Kaya… When she first spoke to us, her facial features disappeared—no eyes, no mouth, no nose. I thought I was seeing things, but it turns out everyone else, even that lunatic Shiki, saw the same thing."
Bell-mère clung to Rob's arm as she shared the first peculiar observation from the game world.
"That's true, dear. It was strange—definitely a game glitch,"
Gloriosa added, hugging his other arm and confirming Bell-mère's statement.
"Hmm… It seems there are quite a few of these minor glitches."
Hearing this, Rob felt a headache coming on. He still didn't fully understand how these glitches were impacting the game.
After all, if he didn't fix them in time, the story would continue to progress with the existing errors. This could eventually spiral out of control and affect the entire game world. If things got worse, the game could even crash, destroying the world entirely. In that case, everything within the game world, including the players' souls, would return to nothingness.
"Is that the only thing you noticed?" Rob asked again.
"There was something strange about Kuro… He was too fast. When he cut off my head, I didn't even see when he moved. It's impossible for a level 13 NPC to be that fast… That's Admiral-level speed at least,"
Mihawk said, still puzzled by the incident. Recalling how Kuro moved in the anime, Mihawk could easily follow his movements. But in the game world, it felt like fighting a ghost—Kuro was so fast that he appeared to move at the speed of light, which was impossible.
"That might indeed be a glitch… I'll look into it. Kuro shouldn't be so fast that his movements are invisible to the human eye,"
Rob said, nodding in understanding. He knew that such common glitches could occur in the game, which was the primary reason he launched a closed beta and invited numerous allies—even enemies—to test it out.
…
"Huff, huff, huff! My god, these Fishmen are demons!"
Buggy panted heavily, recalling how one of the Fishmen had ripped his head off in the game.
It had been gruesome and disgusting! Buggy could still feel the Fishman's sharp teeth sinking into his neck.
"This game is not suitable for kids… Arlong is terrifying,"
Shanks said, wiping the sweat from his brow.
"They didn't even give us time to defend ourselves—they crushed us with ease,"
Roger added, scratching the back of his head with a regretful expression. He hadn't expected the Fishmen to be this ruthless.
When the Fishmen came to collect taxes, Roger and his crew refused to give anything. Of course, they had nothing to offer in the first place. That's why the Fishmen returned in overwhelming numbers, led by Arlong himself.
The moment Arlong and his men appeared, a mission announcement popped up in the system: they had to defeat Arlong and save the Conomi Islands from his grasp. The rewards were plentiful and highly tempting.
However, given their starting level of 0, they were easily overwhelmed and wiped out.
Just like the players in Syrup Village, those in Cocoyasi Village faced the same fate.
"So, did you notice any glitches in Cocoyasi Village?"
At that moment, they heard footsteps as Rob entered the black room where Roger and his crew were still gathered. After all, they had yet to leave their capsules.
Roger and the others weren't surprised to see Rob there. He had told them beforehand that he would personally meet them upon their exit from the game world.
"Well, apart from Arlong's exaggerated size, we didn't notice anything else," Roger said.
"Arlong's exaggerated size? How big was he?"
Rob asked curiously, unaware of such details since he hadn't yet entered the game world himself. That's why he needed so many people to explore it on his behalf.
"As far as I know, Arlong shouldn't be taller than three meters… But in the game, he was eight meters tall! He looked like a small giant, and we were like ants in comparison. When he picked us up, it was ridiculously easy. Even if we leveled up to 19—the same as him—how could we possibly defeat him?"
Roger said in frustration. He had really wanted to crush that Fishman, but in the game world, he had no means to fight back and was instead crushed himself.
"Eight meters? That's definitely unnatural… Alright, I'll take care of it,"
Rob replied, leaving for the next location.
…
Rob appeared in Sorbet Kingdom, where he stood inside the Art Store, welcoming members of the Revolutionary Army as they exited the game world one by one.
"Did you all enjoy the game?"
Rob asked with a smile, looking at Dragon.
"It was truly amazing. I'll be visiting the Baratie restaurant in real life a lot because of this game,"
Dragon said, smiling. Since Rob was here, It's time to fulfill their part of the deal.
"I'm glad to hear that. So, what did you discover in the game?" Rob asked the critical question.
"Tell me, Rob… Can a person walk without feet?"
Dragon asked with a calm expression.
"Of course not…" Rob replied.
"Well, Zeff does it. We don't see any feet beneath him, but he walks as smoothly as if he has them. Isn't that a glitch?"
Dragon stated, causing Rob's expression to stiffen.
Rob felt a massive headache… Could his first game world really have this many errors?
"This is frustrating…" Rob sighed as he pondered how to fix all of this before the game's official release a month from now.
