One Piece: The Eternal Flame

At 3:28 in the morning, a harsh and disturbing cell phone rang on the bed.

Grabbing the phone accurately with one hand, squinting to see the notes on it, he hung up in a bad temper.

Soon, the bell rang again.

The man picked up the phone impatiently and snapped: "Are you bothered, do you know what time it is?"

"Fred, I'm dead, I'm going to die!" The voice on the other end of the phone was louder and miserable.

This made Fred wake up a little bit, and he said as he got out of bed and dressed, "Wait a minute, I'll go over after I get dressed."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Within 2 minutes, he went out to another apartment directly opposite the door, and skillfully entered the password to open the door.

The room was dark except for the warm light in the unlocked bedroom.

Fred walked in and saw Gray lying on the ground dejectedly, next to a black limited-edition game compartment.

"It's so strange, you haven't been addicted to that game recently, what are you doing lying here now?"

Fred frowned, "If you don't give me a reasonable reason, I'll beat you to death."

"Didn't I say I'm dead?" Gray was annoyed, "Damn it, I made a wrong step, I thought I could defeat that Im."

Fred hadn't seen One Piece.

Although he doesn't know who Im is, he still knows about the large-scale virtual online game "Pirate Heart" that has become popular all over the world recently.

[Notification of new game release]

The juvenile manga work "One Piece" drawn by manga artist Eiichiro Oda officially ended on X, X, 100 years ago. Three days later, X, X, this year is the 100th anniversary of the end of the manga.

It tells the story of a young man with a rubber body and a straw hat, who aims to become the "One Piece" and embarks on an adventure in the sea with his companions.

A good work can stand the tempering of time, and it can also stand the evaluation of the people, experts and the market. "One Piece" can still maintain its popularity after the end, which is enough to show its excellence.

Believe that the Haimi all over the world are waiting for the 'Pirate Carnival' in three days.

Now authorized by the official version of "One Piece", after 23 years of continuous efforts day and night, the large-scale "One Piece" derivative immersive game "One Piece Heart" has been successfully launched in the download store of the company's game warehouse.

All players who purchase the company's game warehouse can download the game "One Piece Heart" for free in the store, and the closed beta activity of "One Piece Heart" will start on time at 0:00 on X, X.

Note: The closed beta activity is limited to players who have purchased the company's game warehouse. Currently, other game warehouses cannot download the genuine version of "One Piece Heart". The closed beta activity will last for one month, and the official public beta will start after that.

【Introduction to Game Content】

"Heart of Pirates" is a large-scale immersive virtual game launched by our company. With the game warehouse as the carrier, players can enter the game and load the data materials of scenes, props and characters first.

The game has changed from the traditional routine of previous virtual games, full of randomness and playability.

Modification [-]: Players enter the main interface of the game and no longer choose traditional roles, but are randomly assigned to various identities by the system - sons of nobles, sons of the navy, sons of pirates, orphans, animals, etc.

There are no restrictions on race, species, and gender. The initial age of players is 7 years old, and they grow up normally according to the passage of time in the game.

Note: This setting cannot be modified, and the replay of account creation will still become the random identity of the last game.

Modification [-]: The traditional way of issuing tasks, fighting monsters and upgrading is discarded. There is no realized game value, no panel, no equipment column, and no guiding NPC. It is all up to the player to explore by themselves.

This also means that players need to increase their strength through their own efforts and learning, and finally stand at the top of "One Piece Heart".

Note: All characters in the game follow the character of the original characters in "One Piece". Players can gain favor with each other through conversations, getting along with each other, and giving gifts.

At the same time, in order to prevent some intentional players from acting recklessly in the game, this game has an illegal action detection function.

Whenever a player (male or female) is found to make any indecent actions against (all) characters in the game, the system will force the player account to be offline, and the team will verify whether the player's behavior is in compliance. If the detection is wrong, a compensation package will be issued, and if the detection is correct, the player's account will be frozen.

"One Piece Heart" is a virtual game with nearly [-]% authenticity. I hope that all players respect every original character in it. I believe that the players who download the game are Haimi who really loves One Piece, not some other people with a heart.

Modification 90.00: Because One Piece World is too dangerous, the player's pain shield will reach [-]%, but [-]% of the pain will still be transmitted to the player.

After the player logs in to the main interface, the game system will automatically start a draw for the game gift pack. The contents of the gift pack will be randomly distributed 1-2 pieces, including various powerful props and items such as devil fruit, domineering, partners, weapons (weapons include not only One Piece weapons, but also powerful weapons from other anime works voted by players to obtain copyrights).

Note: If the player builds an account and plays again, the event gift pack can be drawn again, and the game props from the previous game are grayed out and cannot be used.

Modification [-]: The game is on the leaderboard wirelessly. In order to ensure the immersion and stability of the world, online players have no communication channels, no leaderboards, and no competition. The mode is similar to the single-player game mode.

Note: If you want to explore with your friends, you can copy and enter your friend's invitation code in the main interface after login. The maximum number of invitations for each game is 1-2 people.

Modification 7: There is no resurrection channel in this game, and death in the game means that the game account cannot be logged in again, and the game needs to be reloaded, starting from the initial age of [-].

Note: If some players survive for a long time, the system will automatically lock the player's age as 20 years old, that is, the player is 30 years old in the game, and his appearance is still 20 years old.

Modification [-]: Due to the long timeline of One Piece World, players have three login times to choose from.

①Random time before and after the Rocks era (the time span does not exceed 20 years)
②Random time before and after Roger's era (the time span does not exceed 30 years)
③Random time before and after Luffy goes to sea (no more than 10 years before the time point, no more than 2 years after the time point)
Modification [-]: In order to ensure the immersion of the game, all players who enter the game will block the memory of the relevant reality at the initial age, and it can be gradually restored with the growth in the game.

Note: This technology has applied for a patent and has passed various safety tests to ensure the safety of players.

The final interpretation right of this game belongs to the game company, I wish all players a happy game.

-

Fred browsed through the detailed introduction of the game, and at the same time flipped through the game forum.

[Want to stay in the corner] The game is well received. I can finally play a large-scale immersive pirate game in my lifetime. This innovation is a bit interesting. I don’t want to let so many people in the same game world. I’m afraid that too many changes in the plot will affect the game experience.

[Dangerously] What the hell? ? ?I died at the beginning of the first game?What's wrong with being random, but randomly arriving at a small island that is being invaded by pirates?Damn, in the next round of making a wish to the navy, I'm going to kill those pirates!

[Holding my heart and saying it hurts] Luffy is so cute, Zoro, Sanji are so handsome, and Nami Robin is so pretty!I finally realized my dream of being on a boat, woo woo woo.

[Three years] Reply [Couching my heart and saying it hurts] Damn it, I ask the boss for advice, how can I get on the boat?I didn't know anything at the time, but I still wanted to join Shun Shun, and it was useless to recommend myself, it's a shame.

[Hold your heart and say it hurts] Reply to [Three years] You should be more interesting. Luffy likes interesting people, and at the same time, he has to respect others. I saw a player before who made Nami and Robin his wife as soon as we met. It's stupid. Will the protagonist group accept such people?
Almost all game reviews have five gold stars, which proves that the game is really good.

"Ah--I started with a burning fruit in the last game, and was adopted by Cyborg, and got the red-haired Shanks Griffin!" Gray rolled around on the floor, regretting endlessly.

"Stop making noise." Fred looked at the game's detailed introduction again, and said in a serious tone, "So you woke me up at 03:30 because the game died?"

"Just because you don't sleep doesn't mean others don't sleep!" He unilaterally beat Gray up.

The latter suffered a solid meal, but without the slightest fear or remorse.

He smiled and leaned over, "Hey, Fred, why don't you buy a game box and play with me."

"Ha, I don't like playing games, why would I spend that money on a game warehouse?"

"Of course it's to play with me, be my little brother, and fight the ocean with me."

"wanna die?"

"How about I buy you a game case." Gray said, found the phone from under the quilt, and immediately placed an order to buy a new game case.

"I didn't say I wanted to play." Fred frowned. "I still have papers to write, so I don't have time to play games."

"I also have a dissertation to write, which is still a [-]-word long dissertation. I plan to write about the consequences of grafting marine organisms and terrestrial organisms. What do you think?"

"I think you will be asked out of school by the professors." Fred sighed, seeing that Gray was still staring at the phone, he asked again, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm ordering takeaway, I'm so hungry, what do you want to eat?"

"I don't want to eat at this late hour."

"Oh, let's have skewers, no, it's better to eat outside. We eat stir-fried vegetables, how much can you eat? You can't eat much. I want to order pot-wrapped pork, pork slices and soft fried tenderloin hehe."

"Your ability to talk to yourself has improved a lot." Fred couldn't figure out why he would be friends with such a guy.

It may be because he grew up together, he has a deep understanding and resistance to Gray's waywardness.

"coming."

The express delivery was very fast, and the game warehouse was recognized by the smart housekeeper of the community, and it was delivered directly to the home through the robotic arm.

But Fred wasn't really interested in playing games.

"Look, this is the silver-white version of the latest limited edition. Look at this body, tsk tsk tsk, if I didn't still have some feelings for that game compartment, I would absolutely have to replace it with this new one."

Gray tried to move the game cabin to the bedroom, "Don't just look at it, give me a hand, brother."

Fred stepped forward and lifted the other end, and the two moved the game cabin to the bedroom.

Gray connected the power supply at home, "Fred, lie down and try it first, and download the game first."

"I won't use it."

"The thief is simple, you just lie in it, and then find "Heart of the Pirate", just click to download it."

Fred followed Gray's steps, lay down, connected his brainwaves, found "Pirate Heart", which ranked first on the hot list, and clicked to download.

The progress bar of the game was loaded almost instantly, and at the same time, his consciousness also entered the main interface of the game.

"Hello, dear "One Piece Heart" players, please choose the timeline to log in to the game."

Not quite right, Fred frowned and chose to quit the game.

The next moment his consciousness returned to his body, and he sat up from the game cabin.

Gray carried his takeaway, "What's wrong?"

"He asked me to choose the timeline, how should I choose?"

"Huh? It will be downloaded so soon." Gray took out his mobile phone and glanced at the latest game warehouse of the game company, explaining: the download speed has increased by [-]%.

"Fuck, it's a good thing you didn't choose. If you choose, you'll be in."

Gray shook his head, "Let's eat first, I will give you the invitation code later, after you fill it in, we will form a team."

Log in to the game again, and Fred chooses the era of Rocks.

Afterwards, the game will show the option again, "Please enter the character name."

Fred thought for a while, and added the very simple word 'Al' in front of his name.

"Please enter the game invitation code (no invitation code can be skipped)."

Fred put in Gray's invitation code.

"The match is successful, the time point has been confirmed, teammate Gray, now draw the game's initial gift package."

Gray said that this thing depends on the face. The last time he drew was the burning fruit.

Fred watched all kinds of things flickering, and the last item appeared in front of him.

[Magic Saber Thousand Blades] The popular and powerful weapon in the original web animation "Assassin Wu Liuqi", "Only attack but not defend, unparalleled in the world", ranked third in the number of player votes.

It seems to be quite powerful.

Fred thought and decided to enter the game.

"Initial character creation"

Character Name: Alfred.

Character props: Magic Saber Thousand Blades.

"It's time to look at your face again, devil fruit, devil fruit, devil fruit." On the main interface of the game, Gray was praying that he would have a smooth start again.

After the extraction is over, there are two props.

[Black Flame Fruit] The devil fruit that does not exist in the original work of "One Piece", the player's self-made devil fruit ranks second.

[Partner Character Card] By using the card, you can invite any dead character in "One Piece" to be a partner (Note: Due to the particularity of One Piece, Roger is not among the inviteable partners).
