Pirate's Steel Chain Finger

‘Yesterday’s City’ Yesterden, the central square ‘Heinholm’.

This is the sacred place where the Hunter Association announced its official establishment, and it is also the starting point for previous hunter qualification trials.

At this time, the huge square was already packed, and tens of thousands of people poured into the square to watch the upcoming opening ceremony.

The Tezzolo trio were also squished around in the crowd. Mozart tried hard to protect his mustache that had been curled up, and said breathlessly: "Damn it, are there so many people signing up? My underwear will be squeezed out!"

Tezolo's meticulously combed dark green back hair was already messed up. He squeezed away the fat man beside him and said with difficulty: "These...these are mostly tourists and local residents! No pirates have dared to approach these years. The waters near Stearn, and the hunter selection competition held here at a fixed time every year, so this island has gradually become the most popular tourist destination in the South China Sea."

Tang Turn touched his blue-shaven scalp, pushed away the people beside him with his arm, and took the opportunity to pull Tezzolo and Mozart forward.

When they got to the front, they realized that although the square was crowded, everyone spontaneously left enough space for the podium in front of the square.

"That's... the podium where Vicious Chain Victor announced the formal establishment of the Hunter Association!" Mozart looked at the podium full of sacred meaning and was excited. Not only him, but Don Turn was also extremely excited. Both of them are loyal fans of Vicious Chain Victor.

This was the sixth time for Tezolo to see this podium, and he was much calmer than the two of them.

The hour hand of the huge bell tower directly north of the square pointed to 10:00 sharp. As the huge bell rang, a figure stepped onto the podium.

Seeing that figure, the crowd erupted in an instant with incomparably warm and high emotions.

"Oh oh oh oh!! The president is here in person!! The president!!"

"President! President!!"

"Master Victor!! Please sign me!"

Looking at the dashing figure in a black suit and black cloak, Mozart and Dont'en widened their eyes and murmured: "That's... [Vicious Chain] Victor!!"

Not only tourists and people, but also contestants were excited. Over the years, the name of Vicious Chain Victor has gradually become a legend, and every bounty hunter admires and worships him from the bottom of his heart. Who would have thought that Victor, who has rarely appeared in recent years, would come to the game in person!

Among the crowd, 'Spider' Spade, who was standing obediently on the ground, stared at the figure on the podium, with deep fear and complicated yearning on his face, nothing else, it was just a simple confrontation with the figure standing on the podium. The admiration of the strong at the top of the world.

'Blind Man' stuck his stick in his hands all his life, tilting his head slightly to listen to something.

On the podium, Viktor stretched out his hands and pressed down slightly, and the noisy and chaotic square became quiet within a few seconds.

“Everyone here, welcome to Hainholmplatz in the ‘City of Yesterday’.”

Compared with his appearance five years ago, Victor is now nearly 2 meters tall. His blond hair is combed back into a meticulous back. He still has no beard on his handsome face, but there is no trace of youthfulness in his whole person. He exudes strong personal charm all the time. His left hand wearing a black leather glove held a small and exquisite sound-transmitting telephone bug on his chest, and his gentle and elegant voice resounded throughout the square through the loudspeaker equipment:

"Six years ago, I stood here to announce to the world the founding of the Hunters Association. Today, I am happy to tell you that we did it."

"All the bounty hunters are united as one, and there are no longer only navy and pirates in this sea."

"Every honorable bounty hunter can proudly claim that he has the strong backing of the entire Hunter Association. As always, the association will provide the strongest support to all members."

"And we are no longer limited to hunting pirates for bounty, our footprints are all over the sea. Music hunters, gourmet hunters, escort hunters, relic hunters, rare animal hunters... The Hunter Association welcomes all talents with unique abilities to join .”

"Want to pursue your dreams? Want to go further? Then come on, let the world know your abilities through the Hunter Association qualification trials!"

"I hereby announce that the sixth hunter qualification competition..."

"Officially begins!"

As soon as the words fell, the entire Heinholm Square erupted in an unparalleled wave of enthusiasm!

In the crowded crowd, Mozart's eyes were filled with tears of excitement, and he, who had always been carefree, suddenly felt that he had an extremely firm goal of faith - to become a real hunter!Be sure to successfully pass the trials to qualify!

Victor's figure disappeared from the podium at some point.Accompanied by a wave of deafening human voices, a white pigeon wearing a black top hat fluttered down next to the voice-transmitting phone bug on the podium, cooed twice and then spoke:

"Gugu...can everyone hear you clearly? OK! Contestants, I believe you have received your own number when registering. Please keep the number plate properly. This gadget will determine whether you can go smoothly. Pass the tryouts.”

Mozart suddenly remembered that he did get the number plate marked with 367 when he signed up. It turned out that the thing had other uses... He touched his pocket and found that the number plate was still there, but luckily he didn’t throw it away.Tang Turnen, who was beside him, turned pale immediately, and started frantically digging through his pockets and backpacks.

The square gradually became quiet. Pigeon Lafayette pushed up the black top hat on his head and continued: "As the examiner of the first round of the competition, I announced the content of the examination - successfully arrived at the uninhabited island 'Lafame', The time limit is within 48 hours. Friendly reminder, your performance in the competition will be included in the total score. So... let's see you on 'Lafam Island'!"

After saying that, the pigeon fluttered and flew away.

People watched in stunned silence as the pigeon Lafayette left. It was quiet for a while before suddenly erupting into a loud roar.

"Lafam Island? What the hell is this place! Don't the authorities even give you coordinates?"

"Who knows where Rafam Island is? I'll pay for it! 10 Berries!"

"I'll pay 20 million!"

"Where's the boat! Everyone here is a competitor, the boat cannot be destroyed! Go to the pier!"

"Idiot, the key is to buy supplies first!"

The Mozart trio sneaked out of the crowd and found a relatively quiet alley to study countermeasures.

"Is the first round as simple as that? Just reach the island?" Tang Turn touched the back of his head and said naively.

Mozart folded his arms and leaned against the moss-covered wall, frowning and said: "It won't be that simple. First, he brought up the number plate to make everyone realize that they were competitors, and then gave a name with only a name but no navigation chart and The coordinates of the island...should I say that the first round of the game is so difficult?"

"Each competition has its own unique assessment direction." Tezzolo squatted on the ground and rummaged through the nautical chart in his backpack and said, "If you guess correctly, the first round of this competition should test the participants. Sailing ability, teamwork ability and ability to search for targets. After all, we all make our living at sea, and if we want to sail, one person is not enough.”

Dont'en couldn't understand it anymore: "Then, what should we do now?"

"No, there is no information about Lafam Island recorded on the nautical chart." Tezzolo lay on the ground and spread out the nautical chart to carefully compare the icons: "Which of you has a better boat?"

"I, I came here on a merchant ship..." Tang Turnen lowered his head in shame.

Mozart twirled his mustache and said with a smile: "My 'Love Sachs' is a two-masted schooner. Its style and specifications are all imitations of the great ship 'Berger'. It has about a month of supplies." of stock.”

Tezzolo thought for a while: "Then let's use your ship, Brother Mozart. Don Turn goes to the dock to protect the ship. We have about 2 hours to collect intelligence about Lafam Island."

"Two hours? Too little!" Mozart twirled his mustache faster.

Tezolo pouted towards the outside of the alley, only to see runners running everywhere.Everyone is frantically snapping up supplies, or asking for information about Rafam Island at high prices.

The whole of Yesteden was caught in an atmosphere of frenzy.

"Believe me, from the moment the game starts, the actions of all our competitors are already in the [scorers'] view."

Tezzolo lowered his voice and said: "And it is not considered safe if you arrive at Lafam Island within the time limit. I am afraid that the time of arrival will also be an important scoring criterion."

"Score? What's that?" Tang Turnen felt that his brain was completely insufficient.

“I’ll tell you more about the scoring after we get on the ship. Let’s take action!”

Tezzolo clapped his hands, and the three of them immediately took action.
