I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

After all, they're just kids; what big talk could they possibly say?

"Also, Dad's back has been bothering him lately, so if Hook wants to win the championship prize money, he wants to take Dad to see Sister Natasha for treatment!"

Upon hearing this, the host's vision suddenly blurred.

I touched it, and it turned out to be tears!

At this moment, the host couldn't help but exclaim, "What a wonderful child!"

Isn't this much better than those unruly kids you see online?

Not only the host, but also the audience watching the game were moved.

"What a good boy!"

One of the fathers watching the live stream couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the sensible Hook on the screen.

Then he looked at his child, who was playing games on his phone and even shouting things like "Want to hook up, miss?" or "CPDD" (couple pairing).

I suddenly felt angry.

They're all just kids, but other people's kids are so well-behaved.

Thinking of this, the father couldn't help but touch the seven wolves on his waist.

"What's wrong, Old Deng?"

Suddenly, the boy felt a darkness and looked up to find his father standing in front of him, staring at him without saying a word.

This gave the boy a bad feeling.

The father remained silent, but simply raised the Seven Wolves sword in his hand and lashed it across the boy's backside.

"Wow~!"

Soon, Xiao Hai's earth-shattering cries echoed from inside the house.

"Stop hitting me, Dad! Stop hitting me! I'm your son!"

At this very moment, such phenomena are occurring all over the universe.

Volume 1: Chapter 329 Am I the Bad Guy?

At that moment, everyone present was moved by Hook's filial piety.

The host, in particular, had tears in her eyes as she placed her hand on Hook's shoulder.

"Little Hook, I believe you can definitely win the final championship!"

Not only the host, but also the audience members echoed this sentiment.

"That's right, keep it up, Hook!"

"Hook, you're the best!"

"Hook! Hook!"

At that moment, the crowd was overwhelmingly in support of Hooke.

This made Luffy's lips twitch.

It felt like I was some heinous villain.

Hook, however, didn't quite understand these things. Seeing everyone supporting him, Hook excitedly waved to everyone.

"Alright, the match is about to begin. Hook, is there anything you'd like to say to Luffy?"

"Hey, Brother Luffy, Hook will definitely win!"

He's still just a kid, so he speaks very directly. The host then handed the microphone to Luffy.

"Is there anything Naruf wants to say to Hook?"

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, Luffy pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Hook, what were your grades on the final exam?" Upon hearing this, Hook, who had just been so aggressive, lowered his head, looking as if he didn't dare to look at Luffy.

And the arrogant demeanor from before has completely vanished.

At this moment, everyone in the audience despised Luffy. How could he say such a thing to a child? It was utterly despicable!

"Alright, let the competition officially begin!"

Although she really wanted to let Hook speak, her role as host prevented her from taking sides.

After glaring at Luffy, the host left the platform.

Of course, Luffy wasn't one to hold grudges, and as a sponsor of the Etherfront, he naturally wouldn't deduct the host's salary for any reason.

After the start of the match was announced, Hook mustered his spirits and brought out his Aether Spirit.

Automaton Grizzly, Automaton Tooth Wolf.

These are relatively common machines in the lower realms, and they are considered the best ethereal beings that Hooke could access.

Although it is a machine manufactured in Belleburg, its strength is by no means low.

Especially in the early simulated universes, these two's stats were incredibly monstrous.

If one War God jumps, all four of us on this side can fall asleep instantly.

Therefore, when I was playing the simulated universe, I would basically avoid these two Luffys.

There's no other reason than that the numbers are simply too high!

Luffy also released Shadow and Cyril.

"Xiaoying, Xilier, fly!"

As soon as the match started, Luffy ordered Hilly and the others to take off.

After all, they are wolves and grizzly bears, so they don't have any means of ranged attacks.

It's exactly the same as the golden statue Gui Naifen used back then; it's the kind of thing that can't fly.

However, since Hook was someone who had made it to the semi-finals, she naturally had a plan for dealing with flying enemies.

Under Hook's command, Grizzly immediately summoned two mechanical spider soldiers.

These two things look like a hand made of steel.

Thanks to the Grizzlies' ability, Hook successfully turned the game into a four-on-two situation.

Of course, these two spiders don't have any ranged attack capabilities.

The most important thing is simply to summon both of them.

As soon as the two mechanical soldiers were summoned, Grizzly grabbed one in each hand and threw them at Xiaoying and Siril.

"Don't let them get close, knock them away!"

After all, Luffy had already fought this thing several times in the game, so he knew exactly what abilities it had.

"Right now, art explodes! Drink!"

The two mechanical soldiers were getting close to Xiaoying and Xilier.

Hook never intended to capture Luffy's Aether Spirit with just two mechanical soldiers.

As soon as they got closer, sparks burst from the two spiders' bodies.

The next moment, the two spiders suddenly exploded.

Xiaoying and Xilier were within the blast radius and were immediately injured.

At the same time, the thick smoke from the explosion instantly enveloped Xiaoying and Xilier.

"Watch out, fly upwards quickly!"

Luffy also sensed Hook's intentions through his Observation Haki.

Amidst the thick smoke, though they couldn't see their surroundings clearly, Xiaoying and Xilier rose high once more.

Even the one they took off with, the grizzly bear fell into the smoke like a cannonball.

If Luffy hadn't managed to send Xiaoying and Shirley away in time, they would probably be asleep by now.

And it wasn't over yet. The wolf swung its chainsaw-like right hand, stepped on the grizzly bear, and leaped high into the air.

The chainsaw in his hand was also aimed at Xiaoying, who was closest to him.

If Xiaoying gets hit by the wolf, she'll turn into Xiaoying.

Fortunately, Xiaoying, who was in the air, was prepared in advance. Her imaginary energy transformed into a ray and shot towards the Tooth Wolf.

The attack hit the wolf and successfully knocked it back to the ground.

At the same time, Hillier followed closely behind, manipulating lightning to form a giant hammer that slammed down on the wolf.

At the crucial moment, the grizzly bear appeared in front of the wolf.

Thanks to his iron body, he managed to block Hilly's attack.

However, the electric current passing through the grizzly bear's body caused it to convulse.

Upon hearing this, Luffy understood.

These automated soldiers were originally created to mine the earth's essence in the lower layers.

There was practically no place in the mine that needed electricity.

Therefore, when these two mechs were being developed, the designers may not have included anti-electricity features.

Instead, it increased the hardness of the outer shell.

In other words, physical defense was increased, but special defense was neglected.

Now Luffy knows how to fight.

"Quickly, Siryl, use electricity!"

Under Luffy's command, the surrounding area was soon covered with a thin layer of electricity.

The venue instantly transformed into an electrical field.

The two mechs were naturally enveloped within it.

Although the current emanating from this electrical field was extremely weak, it was this very current that penetrated the interiors of the wolves and grizzly bears.

It affects the operation of their systems.

Even without Hook's order, the two mechs started moving uncontrollably.

"Damn it, fanged wolf, attack now!"

Faced with this situation, Hook seemed to find it somewhat troublesome.

They wanted to provoke the wolf to attack.

But at this moment, the wolf was like a drunkard, staggering as it walked. Before it even got close to Xiaoying, it tripped and fell due to a system error.

"In that case, the grizzly bear summoned a spider and then exploded!"

Fortunately, Hook's instructions were not complicated, and Grizzly quickly managed to summon an automaton spider.

As soon as it was summoned, Hook immediately made it self-destruct.

The sparks generated by the self-destruction also reacted with the residual current on the ground.

With a series of crackling sounds, the electrical site was also dismantled.

Volume 1: Chapter 330 The Despicable Adult

All I can say is that Hook is indeed very talented in the Ether Front.

After the impact of the terrain was resolved, the two automatons returned to normal.

"Yay! Let's go!"

Seeing that his etheric spirit had returned to normal, Hook let out a cheer.

He then commanded the two ethereal spirits to continue their attack.
