The fourth day of the fighting competition.
After last night's negative distance treatment, "Rebecca" looks particularly good, her fair skin is as moist as flowing water, and her physical condition is infinitely close to its peak level.
"Ye, have you noticed that there are fewer and fewer players in the arena... Except for the players who have entered the finals, everyone in the first three areas has disappeared."
"Maybe they all went home to prepare for the next competition."
Luo Jie mumbled something casually.
He naturally knew that the missing players had actually fallen into a trap while doing injury checks and fell into the cage below the arena.
In fact, in the past, "JOKER Doflamingo" would not do such boring and stupid things. After all, the Colosseum is the cash cow of "Dressrosa". If every The contestants who come to compete for the first time have been turned into disposable consumables. I am afraid that it will not be long before the level of the fighting competition becomes that of street gangsters.
Not to mention smashing the "Dressrosa" sign by then, the inexplicable appearance of the "strong vacuum zone" will definitely attract the attention of the world government.
You must know that [Childlike Fruit]'s "collective forgetfulness" ability to erase the sense of existence would be extremely fearful to anyone in power if they knew about it.
It's just that "Law" used "Caesar" as a hostage to force "Doflamingo" to resign as king and go to the Shichibukai, making "Doflamingo" realize that what happened next in "Dressero" "Sa" will definitely have a big battle. In order to prevent these contestants with superior strength from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, "Doflamingo" will not hesitate to take such extreme measures to clear out all the strong men gathered here with one click. .
As for why he is not killed directly, it can only be said that "JOKER Doflamingo" does not want to become the public enemy of the world.
Many of the contestants who came to compete this time were sent by national forces, such as the Babao Navy from the Kingdom of Flowers, the "Fanku Brothers" from neighboring countries, and the "White Horse Ka" from the Brujoa Kingdom. Vendish", "Elizabero II" of the Kingdom of Proteus, etc.
If one day the effect of [Childlike Fruit] unexpectedly fails, "Doflamingo" will have a headache just to suppress the people of "Dressrosa" internally, and he will not be able to spare his energy to do anything else. To deal with the conquests of armies from several countries, leaving these people as hostages would at least leave a way out for themselves.
Rough horn sounds came from the sky above the arena, and the audience's cheers, so enthusiastic that they were almost hoarse, faintly entered the players' lounge.
More than a hundred contestants in Area D stood up from the bench one after another, with solemn expressions on their faces, picked up their weapons, and walked towards the sunlight at the end of the passage to the venue.
In the center of the arena is a circular main arena with a diameter of 50 meters. There is an artificial river of more than ten meters between the edge of the arena and the auditorium. Artificially raised carnivorous fish swim in groups in the water, adding more excitement to the already exciting competition. Added a bit of bloody flavor.
The contestants are like beans that have been casually sprinkled. They are sparsely distributed on this huge arena with an area of 2,000 square meters. They are at odds with their partners and are vigilantly guarding everyone around them. opponent.
In "Dressrosa", gladiators are like entertainment stars. Each professional gladiator has their own fans and supporters. From the moment all players appear on the scene, they shout Various cheers bearing the names of the players resounded throughout the arena.
"Logan! Fight well! I will spend 20,000 Baileys on you to win!"
"Meadows, teach those arrogant foreigners an unforgettable lesson!"
"Munnai, let them see the horror of the curse!"
"Damascus, burn them to death!"
The loudest and loudest among them are those who occupy the auditorium More than half of the female audience - 90% of them came for "White Horse Cavendish".
"Ah~! So handsome! Even more handsome than the wanted poster!"
"Cavendish! I love you!"
"Cavendish, I'm going to give you a monkey!"
"Ah, he is smiling at me!"
"Ugly people don't even look in the mirror! Cavendish is obviously Smiling at me! Your Highness, look here, there are a pair of F's!"
"White Horse Cavendish" who stood in the center of the ring enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight and kept waving his hands. The roses in the show showed their iconic flashing smiles 360 degrees to the audience. The screams of the beautiful girls became louder and louder. Many people were even too excited and fainted on the spot and were rushed away by medical staff. .
In sharp contrast to the popular "White Horse Cavendish" is "Sword Princess Rebecca".
The moment she walked out of the contestants' tunnel, vicious curses from local residents could be heard in the audience, and some even threw all kinds of garbage and debris at her.
"Go to hell! The female cousin of the Riku royal family! A murderer!"
"Why aren't you dead yet? I won't fail in every game of yours, just to see you being killed. People are beaten to death here!”
“How dare you continue to live in this world? Just commit suicide and apologize!”
Although this is not the first time that "Rebecca" has heard this. Cursing, he still couldn't help biting his lips, and his eyes under the helmet became increasingly gloomy.
"Don't care about those ignorant people, just be yourself, I will always be by your side."
Luo Jie didn't care about the surprised eyes of the audience, and took the initiative to hold "Rebecca" With his hand, the tight body of the girl in golden bikini armor slowly relaxed, and she turned to Luo Jie with a very reassuring smile.
“The knockout round of Zone D—begins!”
With the sound of a loud gong, the telescopic channels on both sides slowly retracted, and the huge arena turned into a tower isolated by the sea water. of isolated islands.
“Let’s kill “Admiral Orombus” together first! ”
Most of the players present were experienced veterans, and they reached a tacit understanding without communicating in advance. More than a hundred burly men picked up the weapons in their hands and rushed towards the five-meter-tall blond bearded man. .
The reason why we unanimously chose to eliminate "Admiral Orombus" first is not because this person is the greatest threat, but because of the partner he chose - "Pirate Mercenary Haldin" .
The giants are born warriors. Even untrained children have terrifying combat power that cannot be matched by adult humans. The huge body of an adult giant, which can easily exceed 20 meters, is a big killer in a melee. .
The gladiators in the field knew very well that if "Pirate Mercenary Haildin" were to let go of the attack, except for the few masters on the field, there would probably be more than a hundred of them. Even tied together is not enough for this giant to fight alone.
Fortunately, this battle is a two-person battle. There is no need to directly face "Pirate Mercenary Haldin". You only need to defeat the opponent's partner "Admiral Orombus". That is disappointing. Giants will automatically be disqualified.
"You reckless bastards! Do you really think that my 148 million bounty is written in a nice way? - Stand at attention! Stand still!"
"Admiral Oronbu The whip in Si's hand shook out with thunderous whips, and his muscular body exuded an extremely terrifying aura with a loud roar. The gladiators with weaker willpower dropped their weapons and stood at attention as if they were collectively possessed. Some who could barely resist also hesitated briefly. ——"The majesty of the admiral"!
The whip woven with iron wire rolled up the ankle of a gladiator, and was thrown to the ground like a bowling ball by "Admiral Orombus" amidst the screams. The huge force will continue along the way. The dozen or so gladiators who were standing at attention were all knocked away and fell into the seawater pool outside the ring one after another.
The pervasive smell of blood immediately attracted the artificially raised pocket betta fish. These ferocious carnivorous fish immediately swarmed in and bit the gladiators who fell into the water.
"Help - help! Gulu!"
Sportsmen with good water skills can still endure the severe pain of their flesh and blood being chewed and struggle to climb up the shore, while those with poor water skills or even cannot swim at all The contestants fluttered in the red blood for a while and turned into bloody skeletons.
With this short time difference, the giant "Pirate Mercenary Haildin" also freed his hands from the restraints of several gladiators, and crossed half of the arena in one step to "Admiral Auron" Booth's side, he raised his carriage-sized feet, kicking away the rats that were scurrying around the room, kicking the gladiators who were besieging "Admiral Oronbus" flying all over the sky, and feeding them to hunger. A group of fighting fish served dozens of delicious meals.
Not all gladiators are obsessed with the group of "Admiral Orombus" and "Pirate Mercenary Haldin". Some of them pride themselves on being powerful from the beginning. Focusing on foreign seed players such as "White Horse Cavendish".
“What I hate the most is you, a pretty boy who relies on your good skin to seduce women. You must turn into an ugly monster like me!”
With a terrifying gas mask on his face and red burn scars all over his body, "Pyromaniac Damascus" rushed toward "White Horse Cavendish" like a madman. His hands and wrists were completely broken, revealing the modified metal nozzles inside. Two beams of flames with billowing black smoke sprayed out from it carrying thick grease.
The nearby gladiators were unable to dodge and were caught by the scorching flames. The severe pain that burned their flesh made them roll all over the ground, but they could not wipe away the burning grease stuck to their bodies. I had to grit my teeth and jump into the water, voluntarily giving up to save my life.
The "Spellman·Munai" who was in the same group as "Pyromaniac Damascus" also held up the white bone staff in his hand and danced strangely, and wisps of black energy like a wraith came from the ground. It rose up and wrapped around the feet of "White Horse Cavendish" like a rope.
"Is this the only level? There is no way to fully display the beauty of my young master - Beautiful Sword, Blue Bird!"
"White Horse Cavendish" did not panic and threw away the The rose that never left his hand, the rapier at his waist was unsheathed like lightning, and the jet-black blade wrapped with "Armed Haki" whipped up a strong wind at an astonishing high speed, pouring all the flames that came out of it.
The first one to bear the brunt of the attack was "Pyromaniac Damascus" who was covered in the grease he sprayed. His whole body instantly turned into a ball of burning fire. He screamed and ran towards the pool at the edge of the ring. Unfortunately, he was only a few meters away. After exhausting all his strength, he fell to the ground and turned into a body of pitch-black charcoal that would last forever.
"The Conjurer·Munai" was frightened and was in disarray. After waving his bone staff and resisting awkwardly for a few times, he was "beheaded" by the partner of "White Horse Cavendish" "Slyman" chopped off the ugly head covered with bird feathers with one knife.
On the other side, the famous killer group "Fanku Brothers" fought fiercely with Dressrosa's gladiator stars "Rolyn Logan" and "Meadows".
The elder brother "Kelly Fanku" is short in stature and has flexible and ferocious attacks. His superb combination punches allowed "Meadows", who is good at defense, to retreat step by step.
The younger brother "Bobby Fanku" is just the opposite. He is tall and burly and has a gifted body of steel. He can automatically neutralize violent attacks on his body, but he has been weak-willed and bad since he was a child. He was fighting with others, and now he was clumsily waving his fists under the slash of "Lowling Logan"'s long sword.
One couldn't cut, the other couldn't hit, and the battle between the two fell into a ridiculous stalemate.
"Bobby! Prepare to merge!"
"Kelly Fanku" punched away "Meadows" and then jumped into the air, his body strangely became two-dimensional and turned into a A leather jacket with a center zipper.
This is also the basis for the two brothers to dominate the world of killers - [Jacket Fruit].
"Bobby Fanku" skillfully put on the human leather jacket, and "Kelly Fanku" immediately took over his body. The elder brother's strong fighting consciousness merged with the younger brother's steel body. Coupled with the physical increase given by the Superman-type Devil Fruit, the combined "Fanku Brothers" immediately burst out with amazing combat power. Without using any "Haki", they smashed "Meadows" with one punch. Two long swords entwined with "Armed Haki" were struck head-on by "Rolyn Logan".
Two gladiators with outstanding records vomited blood and were knocked out of the arena. They jumped directly across the pool where fighting fish jumped, and fell unconscious into the audience, causing screams.
Not all gladiators like to attack the strong one first.
While most of the players were still besieging "Admiral Olumbus", "White Horse Cavendish" and others, there were also several gladiators with ulterior motives eyeing Luo Jie and " Sword Princess Rebecca" group.
"Rebecca! Someone is offering a reward of 5 million Baileys on the black market to kill you, the remnant of the Liku royal family!"
"Boy, stay away if you know what you are looking for! Otherwise, I will even kill you. Let’s kill together!”
Four burly muscular men gathered around in a fan-like manner. One of them, a giant human with a height of five meters, brandished an axe, threatening Luo Jie fiercely. The other three swarmed up with spears, swords, and meteor hammers. Using different distances and angles to present a perfect combined attack, it is obvious that the method of cracking "Rebecca's" "Back Water Sword Dance" has been studied for a long time.
Forty ounces to move a thousand catties is just an exaggeration. In fact, even with the most advanced skills, if you want to move a thousand catties, you must have at least five hundred catties of strength.
"Sword Dance with Back Water" is almost perfect in terms of technique. The only weakness is "Rebecca's" own strength. As long as the pressure superimposed in an instant exceeds the threshold of her strength, "Sword Dance with Back Water" is almost perfect. The defense will immediately fall apart.
Luo Jie nonchalantly grabbed the oncoming ax with one hand, and a slender black shadow penetrated directly into the shadow under "Rebecca's" feet along the gap between the stone slabs of the arena.
Under the stimulation of "Chicken Blood Overclocking", "Rebecca's" fair skin turned slightly crimson, and her body's strength suddenly increased by more than 30%.
In any close battle, let alone 30%, even an improvement of only 5% will be overwhelming to the result.
The already nimble "Rebecca" was as fast as a ghost at this moment. She lowered her head to avoid the roaring meteor hammer and slid around. She kicked the man holding the sword in the lower back and kicked him in. In the water, a backhand sword hit the wooden pole of the spear and cut off half of the spear-wielding man's palm.
The spear-wielding man who was in pain did not expect that "Rebecca"'s strength would suddenly increase. He covered the wound with his hand and reflexively retreated quickly. The man with the meteor hammer withdrew the iron chain and used his long weapon to make short work of him. The soldiers hit "Rebecca" from behind, trying to cover the retreat of their companions.
The golden broadsword in "Rebecca's" hand was suddenly dyed a steel-like black color. She understood immediately and turned around to slash forward without hesitation. The black broadsword cut like a hot knife. It passed by like butter, easily cutting the head-sized meteor hammer and the strong man over two meters tall into two pieces diagonally. The corpse was splashed with blood and internal organs and rushed out of the ring. Dou who gathered there smelling the smell of blood. Schools of fish swarm to share the food.
Seeing that the three companions did not survive a round under "Rebecca", the muscular man who had just threatened Luo Jie was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he simply refused to use the ax if he couldn't do it. , extremely bachelor jumped up and jumped outside the ring.
If it were just an ordinary gladiator participating in the competition, he would have gone, but this guy and the three who died just now were obviously assassins who planned to kill "Rebecca" in exchange for a bounty. With Luo Jie's character, it is naturally impossible for him to let him go Leaving so easily.
——"If you don't have a fist, you will have a way to travel"!
Luo Jie raised his hand and flexed his fingers slightly, and the muscular man who was about to land on the edge of the contestants' tunnel suddenly fell backwards in mid-air and fell headfirst into a pool full of fighting fish.
“Ah——!”
The muscular man was covered in betta fish and swam frantically towards the shore. The oozing blood dragged a dark red line in the turbid water. trajectory.
Just when he was about to reach the stone steps on the shore, he accidentally turned around and suddenly found that Luo Jie actually bent his fingers towards him again.
“Ah——! The horse is lying in the grass——”
The muscular man screamed and was dragged back to the center of the pool again by the invisible force, cursing hysterically and crying like a six A seven hundred kilogram child. (End of this chapter)
