Chapter 1385 The Arrival of King Beep
Luo Jie’s original plan was to rent a cheap hotel far away from the central area of the city, so that he could establish the character of "poor brother and sister who come to the big city to make a living".
I just didn’t expect to get an ingot of gold from “Green Pepper” unexpectedly, so I simply bought a small old house in a civilian area, which also saved the crowds in the hotel. Eye trouble.
After settling "Karina" and "Bonnie", Luo Jie took out a leather bag he bought at a local product shop in front of the hotel and threw it to the dog to signal it to eat it.
The dog "Xiao Ke" is also a wanted dog after all. Even if it is disguised as a backpack, it is too conspicuous, so its appearance must be changed.
[Swallowing Fruit] has the ability to assimilate swallowed objects with itself in a short period of time, so after swallowing this leather bag, the dog became... a dog bag.
Luo Jie: "..."
Mo Dan finally realized that this is so unlucky.
He could only go to the local product store to exchange for a hand-painted geometric pattern cloth bag.
This time the dog became...a cloth-painted dog bag.
Perfect, Luo Jie received thirty-two likes for his wit, and even felt as if he had been superimposed on a lucky BUFF.
The Colosseum is the landmark building of "Dressrosa", located diagonally below the "King's Heights".
Since the time of the Liku royal family, fights between humans or humans and beasts have been staged here every day, stimulating the audience's adrenaline with blood and violence, and powerful gladiators have also been idolized. Celebrities are crazily worshiped by the people.
Since the beginning of "Doflamingo's" rule, the rules of the Colosseum have also been changed, no longer protecting the lives of gladiators, and even increased the number of death matches among prisoners.
Although this change has been criticized as "cruel and inhumane", the excitement of a real life-threatening battle has attracted more spectators to watch the battle, and there is an endless stream of foreign tourists who come here. It has greatly boosted the tourism industry of "Dressrosa".
The topic has gone too far.
The fighting competitions in "Dressrosa" are divided into two types: regular exhibition matches and competitive matches.
Regular exhibition matches are held every day, without ranking, and opponents are randomly assigned. It is mainly used to maintain the daily popularity of the arena so that tourists who come here will not leave disappointed.
Of course, the rewards for such competitions are also very low. Ordinary gladiators can get cash rewards ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands if they win a game.
Every six months, "Dressrosa" will hold a large-scale fighting skills ranking competition, recruiting experts from all over the world to participate. The prizes are extremely generous, and the champion is even You can win a super grand prize worth over 100 million.
Every season like this is the busiest time for "Dressrosa". A large number of tourists from outer islands flock here to cheer for their favorite gladiators by calling, and the casino's handicap to determine the outcome of the players is even higher. A terrifying scale of billions every day.
For this reason, the official attaches great importance to every gladiator who comes to participate in the competition. Not only have multiple registration points been set up outside the arena, but there are also dedicated guides to assist with registration matters.
It is no exaggeration to say that at this time, as long as you stand in the square in front of the amphitheater and shout "I want to sign up", someone will immediately come over to help you get everything done.
It is simply more convenient than one-click hang-up of some domestic mobile games.
Luo Jie was carrying a "painted dog bag" and blended inconspicuously among other applicants. He queued up to receive a form from the registration point. After filling in his pseudonym and other personal information, he was subdued by a staff member wearing Tin toys were brought into the amphitheater from the player-only channel.
“In order to ensure that all players can compete fairly, this arena will implement closed management for each registered player. Individuals are not allowed to leave the arena before the end of all competitions. Violations will be treated as a waiver and all bonuses and prizes previously obtained will be cancelled. ...Please keep this in mind.”
As he spoke, Luo Jie was already led into the preliminary contestant lounge by the toy staff.
It is said to be a lounge, but it is actually a huge empty room like a warehouse. Hundreds of unselected contestants are all gathered here. If you look at it, almost all of them are a few meters tall and shiny. He has big muscles, and the strong smell of male hormones in the air is a bit irritating.
Among a group of rough guys, Luo Jie noticed a few familiar faces.
That is, the pirate captains who joined the "Straw Hat Fleet" in the original work.
Hmm... How should I evaluate it? Except for "Green Pepper", the leader of the Eight Treasures Navy of the Flower Country, no one can defeat him.
Luo Jie's main mission is "all-female crew", so he doesn't plan to interact with these rough guys. He roughly confirms that there are no strong enemies intruding into the system, and then goes straight to the room next to the lounge. Arsenal.
In order to increase the viewing pleasure, the fighting competition allows the use of any weapon except long-range weapons. As long as the weight limit is not exceeded, you can even wear armor.
Of course, Luo Jie came to the weapons depot not to look for weapons, but just to pay homage to the statue of the legendary Thousand Victory Sword Fighter "Cyrus" and see if he could meet someone who "Sword Princess Rebecca" of the Prisoner Sword Fighter.
After all, in the original work, "Luffy" met "Rebecca" for the first time here.
The people of "Dressrosa" seem to have a special liking for gold. All the weapons and equipment in the entire arsenal are golden in color. At first glance, it looks like they have entered a treasure warehouse.
At this moment, there were many players in the arsenal who were selecting weapons. Luo Jie walked along the weapon rack and found that the quality of these gorgeous weapons was only B white. They looked pure and pure. He couldn't help but shake his head. shook his head.
“It’s really rare for people to be fully dressed when they enter here.”
A neutral voice that was difficult to distinguish between male and female came from behind. Luo Jie turned his head following the sound and saw only one person. The handsome young man with a thin sword hanging on his waist stood at the door leaning against the wall and smiled elegantly at him.
——Who is showing off? So dazzling!
The moment he saw this handsome young man with blond hair, Luo Jie felt that the introduction of his skill [Sparkling Style] had been materialized.
Handsome! So handsome!
If he compared the most handsome "Divine Glory" in his impression with this handsome young man, it would be the difference between a golden pheasant and a phoenix.
Needless to ask, there is only one man who can be so handsome in the world of "One Piece" - the captain of the "Hakuba Pirates" who is known as the "Pirate Prince", "Hakuba Kavin" Dish".
In the original work, this is a supernova who debuted a year earlier than the protagonist "Luffy", with a bounty of 280 million Baileys. Later, after the "Dressrosa" incident, he volunteered to lead his subordinates Joined the "Straw Hat Fleet".
"This is a show, and what people are eager to see is blood. If you want to develop as a gladiator, you have to learn to show off your strong body. The more people are crazy about you, the more you can win at the organizer. Get higher treatment and benefits."
"White Horse Cavendish" is not an ordinary pirate, but the real prince of a small country "Brugioa". Later, he became famous in the country because of his "too beautiful appearance. A large number of young girls did not get married and affected the country's population security. For such a bizarre crime, he was exiled by the king's own father and was forced to go to sea to become a pirate, so he had an innate aristocratic temperament in his speech and behavior. "Then why don't you take off your clothes?"
"This young master is enough for me."
Luo Jie: "..."
Even though I know the truth of what this guy said, I still really want to beat him. What should I do?
Luo Jie ignored the "White Horse Cavendish" leaning against the doorway with a rose in his mouth. He took off his clothes and found a pair of gladiator shorts in the closet to put on.
Under the title of [Male Amazon], this standard gladiator outfit is his strongest fighting form, but he has always been embarrassed to wear it like this before. Not everyone has the Straw Hat "Fran" "It's amazing that you have the courage to go out in swimming trunks all year round."
But in this place where everyone is shiny and muscular, this way of dressing is very natural.
Not long after returning to the player lounge, a beautiful staff member wearing a decorative gladiator armor brought the newly drafted rules for the preliminary round.
To put it simply, due to the large number of applicants, in order to screen out the contestants as soon as possible, the preliminary round will be conducted in the form of a "big brawl" - contestants must choose their own partners to form a duo. If any one person loses or falls out of the field, the other will be eliminated. One person will also be disqualified at the same time, and the only remaining group will advance to the finals.
Huh? Wait, is there something wrong?
Luo Jie clearly remembers that the rules of "Great Brawl" in the original book are true, but there is no such thing as forming a duo by oneself.
“The organizers here are really evil, they actually play with people’s hearts like this.”
“White Horse Cavendish” came to Luo Jingshen again in the faint fragrance of roses. Next to him, the handsome face with starlight special effects made the beautiful staff who were reading out the rules start to stutter.
"Can you stay away from me? You are already so handsome, can you stop using me as your background?" Luo Jie rolled his eyes and complained.
"White Horse Cavendish" said disapprovingly: "It is because my beauty is unmatched that I need you, a normal person, to neutralize it, otherwise I will stand like other gorillas. Being around me will only make my beauty more dazzling."
Luo Jie: "..."
Is this guy praising him? But why do I still want to beat him?
"White Horse Cavendish" continued: "The organizer arranged this, on the one hand, to increase the spectacle. After all, the variables of two-person cooperation are extremely variable, and it will also make the outcome of the battle more unpredictable... …”
Luo Jie smiled, took over the topic and said: "On the other hand, it is also for the final drama of companions fighting each other - the companions who once fought together to defeat the enemy turned against each other for the only championship. There is nothing more topical and interesting than this. The battle is over.”
“White Horse Cavendish” glanced at Luo Jie in surprise, nodded and said, “So the players all have to face a difficult choice before the battle begins—what will happen? Choose who will be your partner. If you choose a partner that is too weak, you will not be able to survive the battle and will be eliminated; but if you choose a partner that is too strong, it is equivalent to choosing a strong enemy for yourself in the finals. "
Speaking of this, he suddenly reached out to Luo Jie and said, "Do you want to join forces with me?"
"Do you think I am strong, or do you think I am weak?" Luo Jie It's funny, he never thought that he would be targeted by this forced king.
"White Horse Cavendish" flipped up his gorgeous golden hair and smiled indifferently: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you are strong or weak. Anyway, I am destined to get this award. The winner of the competition.”
"Please allow me to refuse."
As others don't know about Luo Jie, "White Horse Cavendish" owes more than half of his fame to his hidden second personality "Rommel's Weasel" Killed out.
That crazy personality will appear after "White Horse Cavendish" loses consciousness. He will kill the enemy without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy. Joining forces with this guy is nothing like carrying a bomb that will explode at an unknown time. the difference.
"That's such a pity. You and I are both in Zone D. It seems that your journey as a gladiator will stop at this preliminary round."
"White Horse Cavendi "Xu" didn't force it, he dropped the roses in his hands and walked away, causing a frantic rush from several nymphomaniacs.
Are you in Zone D?
Luo Jie glanced at the group comparison table posted on the wall and found that he was indeed ranked in Area D, the last of the four areas.
He originally thought he would be classified in Area C like "Luffy" in the original work.
But speaking of Area D...
Luo Jie looked around, and sure enough, he found a solitary girl among a group of tall and muscular tyrants.
At first glance, this girl looks very similar to the beautiful staff in the arena. They are all wearing a highly revealing golden bikini armor and carrying a broad sword half a person's height on their back.
But if you look closely, you will find that unlike those beautiful staff members who look like they are made of cloth and wooden boards, this girl’s armor and broadsword are actually real ones, and her whole body is tight and toned with muscles and warriors. His unique heroic spirit cannot be imitated by those delicate female receptionists.
Coupled with the exquisite appearance that is different from ordinary female gladiators and the iconic pink braid, this girl is one of the targets he has been looking for - "Sword Princess Rebel" Card".
Luo Jie did not rush forward to talk, but stood in the crowd and observed secretly for a while.
As expected, although "Rebecca" has been trying to find team members who can team up with her, she has been continuously rejected by other gladiators.
The reason is simple, she is too weak.
Although "Rebecca" is a prisoner sword fighter, she has not lost a single match since her debut, and even got the nickname "The Undefeated Girl", but that was completely deliberately arranged for her by the organizer. A weaker opponent.
Everyone has a dark side in their heart. The once aloof princess now wears cool clothes and engages in life-and-death fights to entertain the public. Is there anything more interesting and gimmick than this?
So rather than saying that "Rebecca" is a sword fighter, it is better to say that she is just a mascot raised by the organizer in the arena to attract popularity. Her matches can be watched and played. If If you really treat her as a common fighting partner, it will definitely be a big burden that will drag you to death.
Suddenly, "Rebecca" seemed to see Luo Jie, who was also sitting alone on the bench without anyone paying attention. After a moment of hesitation, she took the initiative to walk towards him.
I explained at the end of the article yesterday that a big change was made in the middle of Chapter 1383. The increased word count moved the original part from the back to the front of Chapter 1384. It is not a repeated pasting of the word count.
Rebecca's picture is a bit exposed. As the author, I can't post it. I can only check the comments section to see if there are any heroes.
