Chapter 179 Pirates Attack
There were bursts of exclamations from the arena stands.
The audience present looked at the arena in great surprise. They did not expect that the one who had just fought with the legendary undefeated swordsman would be their King of Dressrosa.
But after being briefly surprised, the audience still applauded without hesitation, and the crackling sounds could be heard one after another.
King Liku's mouth was bleeding, and he stood upright staggeringly. It was obvious that Cyrus's merciless Thunder Destruction Sword had caused considerable damage to him.
At this time, Cyrus inserted the giant sword in his hand upside down into the ground, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and said respectfully and apologetically.
"Your Majesty King Liku! The sinner deserves to die!"
Of course Cyrus knew King Riku, but not just because he was a resident of Dressrosa.
As early as when Cyrus was only 15 years old, he simply and crudely chose to sacrifice his life for his own life because his friend was killed by others, thus becoming a murderer.
After carefully considering the reasons, King Liku did not directly try him for the crime of murder, but chose to send him to the bullfighting arena.
He also promised that if Cyrus won 100 consecutive victories in the arena, he would be exonerated and freed.
This is also the reason why the two met.
"Hahaha, Cyrus, you are really strong!"
King Liku casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, walked to Cyrus, and pulled him up from the ground.
"Are you interested in serving as the commander of the Royal Guard?"
There was an uproar.
Cyrus looked at King Liku in disbelief as well, "Your Majesty the King, I am a murderer——"
"I have promised a long time ago that as long as you win 100 consecutive victories in the bullfighting arena, I will not hold you responsible for the crimes you have committed." King Liku interrupted Cyrus, "Now you have a winning streak. 2999——No, a whole three thousand games!”
Cyrus was about to speak but stopped: "Your Majesty..."
King Liku pretended to have a tigerish face and said: "Why, aren't you willing to serve the king?"
Cyrus smiled bitterly and shook his head.
King Liku's expression turned from cloudy to clear. He laughed and announced to the audience:
"Residents of Dressrosa, let us cheer for the undefeated swordsman who has won three thousand consecutive victories!!"
Applause rang out again, and people blessed the birth of this legendary hero. The four bonfires on the stage were raised high, lighting up most of the sky.
Although King Riku's strength makes [Three Thousand Victories in a Row] a little more watery, his status as king also adds a unique sense of legend to this glory.
In this lively atmosphere, the Bullfighting Arena launched their carefully prepared congratulatory program today.
The host who just announced the curtain shouted in an extremely enthusiastic voice:
"Let us welcome the famous singer, Miss Elizabeth Arden, who is known as the 'Sound of Nature'!"
Adrian raised his eyebrows, and he suddenly realized that the woman singing on stage at this moment was the woman in the dress whom he had glimpsed at the port before.
The prelude of the orchestra sounded, and Elizabeth Arden began to show off her beautiful singing voice.
No matter where you are on the sea, "Binx's Wine" is always a repertoire at banquets.
As Elizabeth Arden, who is known as the "Sound of Nature", she sang this song, which is easy to make people laugh uncontrollably, to the peak of her voice and color.
There was constant laughter and laughter in the arena.
A clown from a circus troupe riding a unicycle performed on stage, and a young performer waving a fire stick and performing fire-breathing techniques attracted crowds of spectators. When he suddenly spurted flames flying high into the sky, lively cheers were heard from all around.
Waiters in formal attire, holding silver trays in their hands, served food and wine prepared in advance to all the audience in the venue, making the atmosphere in the venue even more lively.
And in this bustling and noisy place, Elizabeth Arden's graceful singing voice still lingers, gently echoing in people's ears.
"Such skills are not something that mere humans can achieve."
Adrian raised his eyebrows and looked with interest at the singer on the stage who was still immersed in singing.
"Superman with Devil Fruit abilities? Is it related to sound or music?"
No matter how beautiful the music is, it has its rest sound, and no matter how happy the banquet is, it will have its end.
It was late in the evening, and the celebrations in the bullfighting arena came to an end quite considerately.
After all, for most residents on the Island of Love and Passion, colorful nightlife is also one of their goals.
Just when Adrian was about to do some in-depth detective activities to digest the remaining food.
Suddenly, a rapid siren sounded in the sky above Dressrosa.
Many tourists who had just arrived here stopped in confusion, while the faces of local residents changed drastically.
"Yes, it's a pirate alert! The pirates are coming!!"
At the same time, a huge pirate ship was parked at the port of Dressrosa. Many other ships on the dock were hijacked by pirates, who were frantically plundering all the valuables inside.
There were no guards left on these ships, but without exception they were beaten to death by the plundering pirates.
Some of the guys who resisted more fiercely were even hanged from the mast in public to show the ferocity of the pirates.
"Everyone, if you don't want to die, please hand over all your valuables! We are the famous 'Weapons Pirates'!" A pirate with an afro wearing a black leather jacket and leather pants threatened the tourists loudly, " That’s right! Our great ‘Captain Sarto’ is the legendary ‘Weapon Sarto’ with a bounty of 280 million beli!”
Some captains were so frightened that their legs weakened and they fell to the ground.
The powerful pirates with a bounty of more than 200 million beli are no match for their guards.
Tread, step.
The sound of heavy footsteps was heard, and several figures with huge differences in size appeared on the pier.
The leader is a burly man who is at least 3 meters tall. He has a head full of brass-colored dreadlocks. But if you look closely, you will find that they are not hair, but circles of bullet casings and thick cheeks. Hu wrapped his face, wearing a black leather coat, and various weapons and equipment could be seen with him.
It is none other than "Sato", the captain of the Arms Pirates!
Next to Sato, several people following him were also members of the Weapon Pirates. The tall and thin man near Sato's right hand was carrying a thin figure who was constantly struggling on his shoulders.
"Captain Sarto, the big singing star just now, plus the princess of this world government country, are we going to make a lot of money this time?" the tall and thin man said excitedly, "It's just a pity for those long-haired ones. The boys ran away, otherwise we could have made more money!”
On this sea, the way for criminal pirates to obtain wealth is not only to rob towns and merchant ships, but sometimes they also engage in despicable business such as human trafficking and slave trading.
"Stop talking nonsense, Rena, the guards in Dressrosa will react soon."
Sator spoke slowly in an unusually low and hoarse voice. His voice was as rough as two pieces of metal being rubbed together.
"These slaves are the favorite category of the damn nobles, especially these noble and famous women. If their delicate skin is harmed, the price will plummet!" (End of Chapter)
