One Piece: Tulip Family

Five days later, East China Sea, Jon Island.

After five days of sailing, Satan and Sabo finally arrived on the fabled island of darkness.

Perhaps the reason why the city of Jon on the island is about to start the gladiatorial challenge, the port of the island has become more and more lively recently, all kinds of ships are entering the port in an endless stream, and when Satan's ship docked, several pirate ships were even found swaggering in the harbor, it seems that as Bermel said, the muddy waters here are not shallow.

Of course, the harbor is more crowded with boats of all sizes, and the recent arrivals to Jon Island are more attracted by the gladiatorial challenge.

Anchoring the ship in the harbor at will, Satan took Sabo straight to Jon City, but Satan didn't notice that when he docked by himself, not far behind him, the ship of the Black Cat Pirates gradually approached the shore.

At this time, on the ship of the Black Cat Pirates, Captain Chloe was holding a telescope to observe the ships and pedestrians in the harbor, and various pictures floated in front of his eyes, and suddenly, Captain Chloe's gaze froze, and two teenagers appeared in his binoculars.

"How is it possible? How could such a horrible creature come to such a small place?"

Chloe stared closely at the back of Satan who was leaving the dock with Sabo in the telescope, and his legs and feet trembled unnaturally with fright, and he even felt the urge to order his subordinates to turn the rudder and immediately turn around and run.

However, this state did not last long, and after only a few seconds, Chloe put down the binoculars in his hand, pushed his glasses with his left palm, and with a strange smile on his face, he muttered, "This is a rare opportunity." Out

of curiosity about the gladiatorial challenge, Satan and Sabo didn't even bother to appreciate the bustling scene of Jon City, and as soon as they entered the city, they went straight to the gladiatorial arena in the center of the city.

This is a typical gladiatorial arena of ancient Rome, the grandstand of the gladiatorial arena is made of three layers of concrete barrel arches, each layer of 80 arches, forming three circles of circular corridors of different heights, and the top layer is a 50-meter-high solid wall.

The grandstand is set back floor by floor, creating a stepped slope, and the eighty arches on each floor form eighty openings for spectators to be seated, and the entire Colosseum can accommodate up to 60,000 people, but because the entrance is thoughtfully designed without congestion.

The central "performance area" is circular, with a diameter of nearly 100 meters, and the audience seats have about 60 rows of seats, which rise one by one, and are divided into five areas, the first area in front is the seat of honor, the last two areas are the seats of the lower class of people, and the middle is the seats of citizens with relatively high status such as knights and nobles.

The seat of honor is more than five meters higher than the "performance area", and there is also a height difference of more than six meters between the lower audience seats and the knights' seats, and the security measures in the upper echelons of society are very tight, and the upper floor of the audience seats is backed by the wall of the façade, and the total rising slope of the audience seats is close to 60 degrees, and the viewing conditions are very good.

As soon as Satan and Sabo stepped into the audience, they were infected by the overwhelming shouts around them, stimulated by the bloody battle of the gladiators, the whole space was filled with a frenzied atmosphere, and the evil and violence in everyone's hearts were released here.

At this time, the challenge has not officially begun, and anyone can participate in the free wrestling on the field, and if they can win three games in a row, they will receive the organizer's prize of 1 million Baileys.

Satan sat down in the audience, and there were two gladiators fighting to the death, one was a sword warrior with a giant sword more than two meters long, and the other was holding a gun and a shield in one hand, typical knightly attire.

The gladiatorial fight between the two should have not started for long, and they were still in the stage of stalemate, each holding a weapon in a heavily guarded circle, staring at each other's movements with sharp eyes, trying to find out the opponent's flaws.

"Come on, coward, what's the grind?"

"Fight, two fools. "

Pierce each other's throats. "

......

The gladiators were still nervously probing, but the audience couldn't wait to see the bloody scene and cursed one after another.

Finally, some of the sword warriors, who could not withstand the pressure of the audience, took the lead, first lowering his center of gravity with a lunge, and at the same time slashing at the knight's left shoulder with a false move.

However, his opponent was obviously an experienced gladiator, and not only was he not affected by his false moves, but only with a light lift of his left hand, he blocked his greatsword with the round shield of his left arm, and at the same time the spear of his right hand stabbed the sword warrior's throat like lightning.

"Satan, who do you think will win?" Watching

the wonderful fight between the two gladiators in the arena, Sabo couldn't help licking his lips and asked Satan beside him.

"What do you think?" Satan didn't answer directly, but wanted to see what was going on in Sabo's eyes.

"It should be a sword samurai.

Sabo groaned and concluded, "His weapon is a two-handed sword, a typical strength fighter, while his opponent is a one-handed weapon, in fact, every time the weapon is handed over, he will suffer, and his speed is not slow, the knight has not been able to suppress him in speed, so if the stalemate continues, his chances of winning will be a little bigger."

"That's right, but what you don't notice is that he actually hides his power, and although he always attacks with a sword in both hands, he actually only uses one hand, hey, cunning guy.

Sabo looked fixedly, and sure enough, as Satan said, the amplitude of the sword warrior's swing was obviously precisely controlled within a certain range, and this cunning guy was not only hiding his strength, but also saving his physical strength.

As the gladiatorial battle progressed, as Sabo expected, the knight's physical exertion became larger and larger, and the frequency of attacks slowed down, and he could only passively defend against the sword samurai's attacks, and he could barely fight back once in a few rounds, and he could not pose a threat to the sword samurai.

And the sword warrior seemed to feel that the opportunity had come, after dodging the knight's spear, in the hands that were originally holding the sword, the right hand suddenly spread out, grabbed the knight's gun, the giant sword was handed over to the left hand, the body rotated, and the giant sword smashed into the top of the knight's head like an iron whip.

Due to the restriction of the weapon, the knight could not dodge the attack of the sword warrior, so he had to raise the shield of his left arm to block the top of his head, in his mind, he could easily block the opponent's two-handed sword, and the current one-handed sword was naturally no problem.

However, to his surprise, the moment the sword warrior's giant sword smashed on the shield, he suddenly felt that the power on the sword had become several times stronger than before, and in his stunned eyes, his left arm was directly twisted like a twist by the huge force on the shield, and the bones were broken.

In the gladiatorial arena, there is you and me, life and death in an instant, the knight who didn't wait for the broken arm to let out a scream, the sword warrior giant sword was thrown up again, a red light flashed, and the knight's head was cleanly slashed high.

Before the knight's body fell, blood spurted nearly a meter high on his neck, and the audience exploded with a roar, and the shouts were overwhelming.
