Pirate Nova

Chapter 20 20. The Revolutionary Army

Following the entry of the two slaves, the crowd in the auditorium who couldn't hold back their excitement immediately burst into shouts one after another, but these cheering voices were not friendly.

What the audience cares about is the two slaves fighting with beasts. As for their lives, they are worthless in the eyes of the spectators.

The two slaves standing on the sandy ground held an iron sword and shield in their hands. The dilapidated weapons looked like they had experienced many battles. There were some pits on the shields, and there were still dried blood stains on the blades.

drink!
One of the slaves was the first to break the calm on the field, taking advantage of the opponent's unresponsiveness, and immediately took a step forward and appeared in front of the opponent. Hit and kill.

when!
Although the slave who was suddenly attacked had lost the opportunity to counterattack, it didn't mean he couldn't defend.The shields held by the man on the left and right were firmly in the path of the long sword, and hastily blocked the opponent's dangerous blow.

"it is good!"

"Unfortunately, it almost succeeded!"

"Come on, kill him for me!"

As the battle between the two officially started, the emotions of the spectators on the field also rose.And the two slaves, surrounded by shouts, were also fighting for their lives under the eyes of everyone.

The two fought back and forth for a while, and with the collision of the blades and the roar of the two, the whole battle became more enjoyable.Seeing this, Jack can't help but understand why these ordinary people would rather spend 50 Baileys to come here to watch these slaves kill each other.

Because for these kingdom residents who live in a relatively peaceful environment all year round, war is a very distant thing.And from birth to death, apart from living in the kingdom, most of them would never have the opportunity to personally participate in this blood-swelling fight.

However, the existence of the arena perfectly fulfilled their desires. Although they didn't end up fighting in person, seeing other people fighting for their lives was a great satisfaction to them.This form of fighting was also a popular sport in the ancient Roman period in the previous life.

"It seems that no matter which world's nobles they are in, they all like to do this."

After watching it for a while, Jack lost interest. After all, although the two people fighting on the field are both good swordsmen, they are at most pirates with a reward of 200 million in the sea. It doesn't matter.

And not long after, number one, who had been pressed down by number seven on the field, unexpectedly drew his sword from under the shield that was firmly protecting his body after a successful block, and struck number seven, who was not in a hurry, with a sword. beheaded.

With No. [-]'s victory, some spectators on the field cheered loudly, while others seemed dejected.It seems that because of No. [-]'s unexpected victory, most of the people who participated in the bet lost money.After the victory, the No. [-] not only failed to get the cheers it deserved, but received a lot of people's scolding.

After the staff finished handling No. [-]'s body, the victorious No. [-] was held up with his right hand, and after a short gesture to the surrounding spectators, he was led into the iron gate next to the venue.

"Audience friends, the next performance is this month's special event! If it weren't for the generous help of the adults sitting in the VIP seats, you would not have had the opportunity to see such a luxurious game!"

As the host pointed to the VIP seats closest to the stands, everyone's eyes were focused on the high-ranking nobles, and the leader, Baron Jorah, stood up slowly and pressed down. Press your hands.

The cheers in the arena became louder

This time, there were not only two slaves, but a total of 12 slaves.Like a flock of sheep being driven by a shepherd, they were pushed into the center of the field by the staff.And when the iron gates on the surrounding walls were closed, two wooden boards suddenly rose above the ground covered with yellow sand, revealing the dark hole inside.

Two adult tigers jumped out of it, and immediately spotted the slaves holding their weapons, and the two tigers, who had been hungry for a long time, finally saw the food they hadn't seen for a long time, and turned towards the slaves. Their direction is slowly approaching.

Roar!
The howling and biting sounds of the tiger became the only sounds in the arena. Although the slaves were superior in number, they still failed to unite and concentrate their combat power.But the ultimate victory in this battle does not belong to humans, but to the tiger full of scars.

The tiger with knife wounds on its body was devouring the food in front of it at this time, and beside it lay the disembowelled corpses of the slaves and another dying companion.

After seeing the scene that just happened in front of him, Jack suddenly lost interest and decided to leave.But when he was about to get up, he sat back down again as if he suddenly discovered something interesting.It's just that Jack, who sat back in his original position, kept staring at one direction of the auditorium.

As for what made him give up his plan to leave?Of course, he found a person he thought he would never meet in the South China Sea, and this person was sitting among the crowd watching the match.

He was wearing a black top hat with goggles strapped to it.Under the brim of the hat is short blonde hair and a slightly younger face, but the obvious scar around the left eye cannot be underestimated.

Sabo, the second in command of the Revolutionary Army.As the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army who appeared in Dressrosa two years later, and one of Luffy's sworn brothers, his strength and identity cannot be underestimated.And if Jack remembers correctly, Sabo was able to proficiently use armed color and knowledge-color domineering before he got the burning fruit, and he was also outstanding in physical skills.

"Why is this man here?"

Jack was also a little surprised when he saw the other party's figure. After all, the sudden appearance of a powerful force like the Revolutionary Army that caused headaches for the world government in the South China Sea was not a very good sign.And the Green Kingdom, which happened to appear in one of the countries that joined the world government, had an intriguing purpose.

Judging from the current situation of the Green Kingdom, whether it is slave trade or the oppression of civilians, there are reasons that can attract the revolutionary army.Since the other party dared to appear here blatantly, and also entered the arena to watch the fight between slaves, it shows that the revolutionary army is likely to make some big moves in the Kingdom of Green.

"kindness?"

Thinking about it, Jack also saw the other person turning his head to look at him, but he didn't have any intention to hide it, and he didn't immediately look away.Unlike Jack, who was calm and calm, Sabo had an intriguing smile on his face.

"Oh?"

Sabo looked at Jack who had left his seat and walked out in surprise, and silently lowered the brim of his hat to follow.In his opinion, although the other party did not conceal his purpose of spying, he believed that there must be a reason for this person to look at him in the crowd.

ten minutes later

Jack was walking on the deserted street. At this time, he had deliberately changed his route to an inaccessible block on the edge of the civilian area. Basically, there were old empty houses that were uninhabited, except for some scattered homeless people. others.

And his purpose of choosing this place is also very simple, because this is the royal city after all, and he doesn't want to attract too much attention before the completion of the pirate ship, and this area is a good place.

As for Sabo on the roof not far behind him, Jack has already known the other party's tracking through his knowledge and arrogance.But at this time, he didn't panic, because he also basically expected what might happen next.

Although Jack didn't know the purpose of the other party's coming to the Green Kingdom, he could more or less guess something.If he stepped forward and revealed the identity of the other party, then the direction of the next thing would be out of his control.

Jack knew why he was being followed by Sabo, and the style of the Revolutionary Army in this world did not deviate too much from what he had predicted.You must know that the Revolutionary Army is not the embodiment of 'justice'.What they are after is the subversion of the power of the world government in order to promote the freedom they believe in.

And Sabo, who was following him in front of him, probably suspected that he was looking at him, and it was not difficult to guess from the fact that the other party appeared in the Green Kingdom, the revolutionary army should make some big moves here.The Revolutionary Army does not want any possibility of exposure before implementing the plan.

As the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, Sabo's task is to ensure that the plan will not be known in advance.Even if this process will involve anyone, including a suspicious pirate.And there is only one way to make a person shut up forever, and that is to kill him.

Dead people can't speak.

As for what the revolutionary army came here for, Jack had no interest at all, nor did he want to participate.In Jack's eyes, the Revolutionary Army and the Navy are similar, they are both organizations that act for the 'justice' or 'freedom' they pursue.He also had no idea of ​​joining the Revolutionary Army at all.

As for Sabo, Jack also held an indifferent attitude.The idea of ​​gaining the friendship of the other party is also a meaningless behavior in his eyes.He will have his own adventures and companions, Jack is convinced of this.

"That friend on the roof, come out, don't hide."

Jack, who stopped suddenly while walking, turned around and yelled at a building not far ahead. Within a few seconds, Sabo jumped directly from the eaves and landed firmly on Jack. before.

"Oh? Are you alert?"

Sabo, who was discovered, also knew how his whereabouts were exposed at this time, and he couldn't help looking at the man in black in front of him in surprise. For this man in front of him, Sabo found out through the reward list issued by the South China Sea when he was tracking him. For his status, although there is only a reward of more than 5000 million, it is already very high in the South China Sea.

"What is your purpose of following me?"

"Well, I'm just a little worried. After all, the way you looked at me in the arena just now really made people care."

"Since there is nothing wrong, please leave."

"Although I want to, but if the whereabouts are exposed, it will make it very difficult for me."

"Oh, is it?"

Seeing that Sabo refused to leave, Jack also knew that the next battle should be inevitable, so he decisively drew the saber [Fenrir] from his waist.

Seeing this, Sabo also silently removed the steel pipe he had been carrying with him from behind, looked at the man exuding a blade-like temperament in front of him, and nodded secretly.

tom!
With the collision between the western knife and the steel pipe, an invisible shock wave swept away from the place where the two weapons touched, and the glass of the surrounding houses began to shake non-stop. broken.

"En? The strength is not bad"

After the failed blow, the two quickly opened up the distance, facing each other a few meters apart, and Sabo, who failed to easily deal with his opponent as expected, said with some surprise.

"Let's be each other"

There was no expression on Jack's face, standing there with a knife in one hand, looking extremely calm.
