Chapter Forty-Nine: The Colosseum
"You've been talking for a long time, but you're actually talking about adventurers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info" Brocky pointed to the Rhodes, "your things are packed, as you said, just carry them to your ship, and you can spare our lives." Right now...... Can you go?"
"First of all, the man's promise will never be broken, and secondly, your heart is dead, and it will be useless for me to cut off your head. "Rhodes is back on the Rhodes.
Brocky looked at the Rhodes in the distance, and said in a low voice that he could only hear: "What a bunch of foolish fellows, living unscrupulously? ā
ā¦ā¦
The Rhodes arrived at the docks of Marlenyate laden with treasure, and after the ship docked, the group boarded the first island of one of the seven routes.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. "The young man in the gown had a generous amount of white foundation on his face, making him look weird.
"Oh?" Rhodes asked the five behind him, "do any of you know him?"
"No, no, no, none of you know me. The man's mouth dyed with bright red lipstick opened slightly, and a thin woman-like voice came out, "I just saw your naval battle and want to get acquainted with you." ā
Rhodes became interested: "How do you know that we just had a battle at sea, could it be that you were nearby?"
"I was on the dock. The man straightened the top hat on his head, "I'm a claireye fruit capable and can see anything in the distance. ā
"It turns out to be a Devil Fruit ability, that makes sense. Rhodes stared into the man's eyes, "What are you waiting for us for?"
The man took off his top hat and put it on his chest and bowed to Rhodes: "First of all, my name is Charliega, the black market information provider of the Marlenyate Gladiatorial Arena. ā
"Does the Colosseum have anything to do with us?" asked Rhodes.
"Of course, I just saw that you easily defeated the Brocky Pirates with a bounty of 20 million Berry!" Charliga waved his hands excitedly, "Tomorrow is the start time of the gladiatorial match, and the prize for the first place this time is a devil fruit, with your strength, you are definitely qualified to win the championship!"
Rhodes' eyes lit up: "Devil Fruit?"
Although it has been said that he has been in the world of One Piece for so long, there are only a handful of Devil Fruit abilities that Rhodes has encountered, and the Devil Fruit has never even seen it, so how can he not be tempted to have the opportunity to obtain a Devil Fruit now.
"This is the most extravagant reward that Marlenyat has had in the last ten years, and the time is not to be lost. Charlie said bewildermently.
Rhodes heard what Charlie had meant, and forced his inner joy and said, "What do you mean?"
"Just give me a certain amount of Berry, and I can arrange your lodging, as well as the information of your opponents in the gladiatorial arena. "Charlie started his business.
"I see...... "Rhodes understood Charles' motives.
Charles' eyes were full of antiquity.
Rhodes shrugged: "How could we disagree with such a good thing?"
"Smack!" Charlie Clapped his hands, "Very good, this is definitely a wise choice, then we will arrange for you to stay next, uh of course, first you need to pay me 1 million berry." ā
"Huh, you mean it's going to cost 1,000,000 Berry to get you to stay? Are you bluffing a three-year-old?" Rhodes doesn't think a million Berry is needed to live in a place, unless Charlie is really fooling him.
Charliega hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Of course, it doesn't take so much money to live alone, including us wiping your ass, yes, you are pirates, you are stared at by the navy, don't think that Marlenya doesn't have a navy--"
"Oh, yes. Rhodes took out 100,000 Berry from his pocket, "We have just debuted at the moment, and we haven't been rewarded by the Navy yet, so don't bother, this is 100,000 Berry, arrange for us to stay, and the rest will be talked about later." ā
"Uh......"
ā¦ā¦
"This is the largest guesthouse in the whole of Marlenyat, and the various expenses for a day add up to more than half a million berry. Charlie Gar walked into the luxury hotel with Rhodes and his gang.
This hotel is indeed worthy of its daily cost of 500,000 baileys, the interior is richly decorated, the facilities are all available, and the space is huge, and Rhodes said that he paid Charles 100,000 baili to live in a hotel of this level is very cost-effective.
"You stay here for the time being, and I'll come back at dinner, and I'll explain some things about the Colosseum to you in detail when the time comes, and you can also buy information from me when the time comes. After arranging Rhodes' gang, Charlie left in a hurry.
"Captain, what a sudden, what kind of gladiatorial tournament to participate in. Tetton sat down in his chair and took an apple from the table.
Bowen X lies on the bed and changes gauze for his wound: "Hiss...... Actually, there is nothing bad, but the reward is a devil fruit. ā
"In the black market, the price of a Devil Fruit is as low as 100 million Berry, but it is only the most ordinary one, do you think they will give a powerful Devil Fruit as a reward? Chloe analyzed.
Rhodes agreed: "That's true, but we need it anyway, and we can sell it even if it's not suitable." ā
"What I value more than that is to be able to get stronger in the course of the duel. Ah Jin tightened his grip on the crutch.
"yes, that's what I'm hoping for. Tyton said, taking a gulp.
Rhodes couldn't help but laugh when he saw everyone's high fighting spirit: "Yes, I also have this idea, to see how strong the pirates in the Great Voyage are." ā
Soon the evening was approaching, and the waiter brought a sumptuous dinner to their house, and Charliega arrived.
"What do you think of this place?" asked Charliega with a smile.
"100,000 Berry can live in such a good place, it's worth it. Rhodes replied with a smirk.
"Uh......" Charles' mouth twitched, "Alright, let's get down to business." ā
Rhodes was not joking, and listened carefully.
"Registration for the Colosseum starts tomorrow afternoon, and the day after tomorrow morning. The contestants were initially divided into five groups for melee, each group decided ten people, and the second round of the knockout round was after the first round of screening, and the remaining fifty people started the scuffle again to determine the final eight, followed by the semifinals, semi-finals, and finals. Charliega roughly finished the process of the game.
"There's a big loophole here. Rhodes said with a frown.
"You mean the melee game, right?" Charlie Gar said, seeing that Rhodes didn't answer, he continued, "Yes, melee matches are easy to produce various minor leagues, but this is also deliberate, because this can attract more spectators, the Marlenya gladiatorial arena is very large, can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time, after the start of the game at the beginning of the month, it is almost full, and the Garno family of Marienate can make a profit of up to tens of millions of Berry in each round, and the whole game can earn hundreds of millions of Berry in addition to the rewards." ā
Rhodes moved his joints and said, "I'm looking forward to it, strong." ā
