Pirates: Steel Chain Fingers

'City of Yesterday' Jestedern, central square 'Heinholm'.

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

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

The Tezzolo trio were also huddled around in the crowd. Mozart tried his best to protect the mustache that was rolled up, and panted, "Damn, are there so many people signing up? I'm going to be squeezed out of my underwear!"

Tezzolo's meticulously groomed dark green back was already messy. He squeezed the fat man beside him and said with difficulty, "These... Most of these are tourists and local residents! No pirate dared to approach Yesh these years. The waters near Tedern, coupled with the fact that hunter trials are held at a fixed time every year, have gradually become the most popular tourist destination in the South China Sea.”

Tangtern touched his blue-shaved scalp, pushed his arms away from the person beside him, and took the opportunity to pull Tezzolo and Mozart forward.

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

"That's... the podium where Victor the Fierce Chain announced the official establishment of the Hunters Association!" Mozart looked at the podium full of sacred meaning and was very excited. It's not just him, but Don Turner is also very excited, both of them are big fans of Victor Chain.

This is the sixth time Tezzolo has seen this podium, and he is much calmer than the two of them.

The clock of the huge clock tower in the north of the square pointed to the whole, and as the huge bell rang, a figure stepped onto the podium.

Seeing that figure, the crowd instantly burst into an extremely warm and high-spirited mood.

"Oh oh oh! It's the president who came to the scene! The president!"

"President! President!"

"Lord Victor! Please sign me!"

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

Not only tourists and the public, but even the contestants were excited. Over the years, Victor's name 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 actually come to the game!

In the crowd, 'Spider' Spade, who was standing on the ground, stared at the figure on the podium, with deep fear and complicated yearning on his face. The admiration of the strong at the top of the world.

The 'blind man' held a wooden staff with both hands all his life, and turned his head slightly to listen to something.

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

"Everyone present, welcome to Heinholm Square in the City of Yesterday."

Compared to what he looked like five years ago, Viktor is now nearly 2 meters tall. His blond hair is combed back into a meticulous back. His handsome face still has no beard, but he can no longer see the slightest bit of greenness. He exudes a strong personal charm all the time. With his left hand wearing black leather gloves, he held a small and exquisite voice-transmission phone bug on his chest, and his gentle and elegant voice resounded throughout the square through the amplifier:

"Six years ago, I stood here announcing the formation of the Hunter Guild to the world. Today, I can happily tell you that we did it."

"All the bounty hunters are united, and this sea is no longer just the navy and the pirates."

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

"And we are no longer limited to hunting pirates to get bounties. Our footprints are all over the sea. Music hunters, food hunters, **** hunters, relic hunters, treasure hunters... The Hunter Association welcomes all talents with unique skills to join. "

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

"I hereby announce that the 6th Hunter Qualification Trial..."

"Official start!"

As soon as the voice fell, the entire Heinholm Square burst into an unparalleled enthusiasm!

In the crowd of loud voices, Mozart's eyes flashed with tears of excitement, and he had always been arrogant and suddenly felt that he had a very firm belief in the goal - to become a real hunter! Be sure to successfully pass the tryouts to qualify!

Victor's figure disappeared from the podium at some point. Accompanied by the deafening waves of human voices, a white dove wearing a black top hat flopped beside the voice-transmitting phone bug on the podium. After cooing twice, he spoke:

"Cuckoo... Can you hear me clearly? OK! All contestants, I believe that you have already obtained your own number when you signed up, please keep the number plate in a safe place. This gadget will affect whether you can pass smoothly. Trials."

Mozart suddenly remembered that he did get the number plate marked 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. Tantern next to him turned pale and began to frantically dig his pockets and rummage through his backpack.

The square gradually became quiet, and the pigeon Lafayette pushed the black top hat above his head and continued: "As the examiner of the first round of competition, I announce the content of the examination - successfully arrived at the uninhabited island 'Lafam', time limit Within 48 hours. Friendly reminder, your performance in the game will be counted in the total score. Then... see you at 'Lafam Island'!"

After speaking, the pigeon flew away.

People watched the pigeon Lafayette leave in stunned silence, and after a while of silence, a violent roar suddenly erupted.

"Lafam Island? What the **** is this place! Don't the officials even give you a coordinate?"

"Who knows where Rafam Island is? I'll pay for it! 100,000 bergs!"

"I'll pay 200,000!"

"Where's the boat! All are competitors, and the boat can't be destroyed! Go to the dock!"

"Idiot, buying supplies first is the key!"

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

"The first round is as simple as that? Is it enough to just arrive at the island?" Tangtern rubbed 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, the number plate is raised to make everyone realize that they are competitors, and then a name is given without a nautical chart and The island of the coordinates... should I say, is the first round so difficult?"

"Each game has its own unique assessment direction." Tezzolo crouched on the ground and rummaged through the nautical chart in his backpack and said, "If you guessed correctly, the first round of this competition should test the contestants Navigation ability, teamwork ability, and ability to search for targets. After all, we all live on the sea, and if we want to sail, one person is not enough.”

Duntern couldn't understand even more: "Then, what should we do now?"

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

"I, I came on a merchant ship..." Dantyn lowered his head in shame~www.readwn.com~ Mozart twisted his moustache and said with a smile: "My 'Love Sax' is a schooner , the style and specifications are all imitations of the great ship 'Berger', and there is about a month's supply of supplies."

Tezzolo thought for a while: "Then use your boat, Brother Mozart. Donten will go to the dock to protect the boat. We have about 2 hours to collect information on Lafam Island."

"Two hours? Too little!" Mozart twitched his mustache more frequently.

Tezzolo pouted out of the alley, only to see running contestants everywhere. Everyone is frantically snapping up supplies, or buying high-priced information about Rafam Island.

The whole Jestedern was in a frenzy.

"Believe me, from the moment the competition starts, the actions of all our contestants have been brought into the [rater]'s vision."

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

"Score? What's that?" Duntern felt that his brain was completely useless.

"I'll tell you more about the rating when I'm on the boat, let's take action!"

Tezzolo clapped his hands, and the three immediately acted.
