Chapter 63: Attention Ceremony
On this day, the long-prepared Colosseum Tournament was held as scheduled.
On the long street, there is a crowd of people.
Crowds of people from outside the island weave their way from street to street, bringing benefit and laughter to the residents of Dick City.
Looking around, you can see "fluttering" ribbons propped up with wooden frames everywhere.
At the much-anticipated opening of the Colosseum, almost all eyes in the city focused on the huge Colosseum in the middle of the cross street.
In such an atmosphere, the haze that hung over East Street finally dissipated somewhat.
"Devil Fruit, I've got it!"
"It's been so hard to wait, thief haha!"
"Unprecedented Blockbuster Prize ......"
Those who rushed for the championship prize were all high-spirited and came to the Colosseum early to report.
Law and Bebo also came outside the Colosseum and blended in with the crowd.
"Captain, it's so lively here!"
Bebo excitedly looked at the noisy crowd around him.
He was tall and stood out in the crowd, a little bit of a standout.
Soon, the surrounding crowd noticed Bebo's presence and couldn't help but look over.
"Bear-like fighting beasts......
Someone looked at Bebo carefully.
Among them, a veteran beast fighter is also observing Bebo.
After identifying Bei Bo as a fighting beast, the veteran subconsciously used several commonly used criteria to measure Bei Bo's comprehensive combat effectiveness.
"The body shape is barely up to the mark, but it's a pity that the hair is too thick and I can't see the muscles, but the strength should not be weak, that is, deterrence...... Zero points. ”
The old hand glanced at Bebo's dark and cute eyes a few times, and secretly made a judgment.
In the confrontation between beasts, the deterrent effect of the vicious appearance is also an indispensable factor in victory.
In the eyes of veterans, regardless of size, Bebo looks simply a harmless cree, intuitively threatening and thus falling to the bottom.
Moreover, the owner of the bear fighting beast did not equip the fighting beast with both offensive and defensive equipment.
Forget it, what does it mean to put such an old-fashioned uniform on the fighting beast?
Don't be afraid.
The veteran sneered.
Bearing the curious gaze from all around, Bebo didn't care at all, and looked around, unable to hide the excitement on the bear's face.
Luo habitually stabbed Bebo in the back with the hilt of his knife.
"Bebo, are you really going to participate in the Colosseum?"
"Yes!"
A small flame immediately erupted from Bebo's eyes.
Seeing that Bei Bo was high-spirited, Luo Fu, who knew the reason, sighed: "Master Maud may not bring Bailey to participate in the Beast Fighting Competition. ”
"Hmph."
Bei Bo clenched his fists and said seriously: "If he doesn't come, then I will retire directly!" ”
“……”
Luo struggled to resist the urge to turn around and leave.
Sure enough, bringing Bebo to the island was a wrong choice.
At this point, it's useless to talk about it.
Luo sighed helplessly in his heart.
But Bei Bo is so excited and so energetic, so he can only obey Bei Bo's wishes.
After all, it's what the family wants to do......
There was no reason why he should not support it.
"Bebo, it's time to go in."
Law glanced at the crowd around him.
There are more and more people, and Bebo's presence is really conspicuous, so it is better to enter the Colosseum as soon as possible.
"Hmm!"
Bebo nodded.
Law then walked to the entrance for the participants.
He and Bebo had only walked a dozen meters when the noise around them suddenly turned sharply.
"Huh?"
Sensing something unusual, Law stopped, turned his head sideways, and looked in the direction of the street from which he came.
The first thing that catches your eye is Jim, who is much taller than the crowd, but the rest of the Maude Pirates is nowhere to be seen.
"Maude is here too......"
Luo Pingping looked at Jim, who was striding from the street.
From where he was, all he could see was Jim's fierce face.
But it is enough to show that Maud is coming.
The bustling noise at the entrance to the Colosseum gradually subsided with the arrival of the Maude Pirates, until only whispers remained.
The crowd began to consciously disperse in order to make room for the arrival of the Maude Pirates.
"The 'attack and killing' on East Street was done by them, what a group of cold-blooded and brutal bastards ......"
"Shhhh
Someone dissuaded the speech of his companion.
The companion frowned at the cowardice of the dissuader, and said in a low voice: "Look at your useless appearance, they are so far away, can they still hear what I say?" ”
"Do you know the 'way of survival'?"
The dissuader asked rhetorically.
"What the hell?"
The companion had a question mark on his face.
Seeing this, the dissuader immediately looked at his companion who was dead with an indefatigable gaze, and immediately moved away from his companion and squeezed into the crowd.
I'd rather carry the weight alone than forge ahead with my pig teammates.
This is one of the core principles of the way of survival.
You don't even understand this kind of truth, you idiot will capsize sooner or later.
The dissuasioner thought silently in his heart.
The companion was confused, and had no idea what the dissuasor was doing.
Greeted by countless glances from all around, Maude and his party walked straight to the entrance of the Colosseum.
The originally crowded crowd actually took the initiative to make way for Maude and them.
"Ho Ho ......"
Seeing that the crowd around him knew each other like this, Lafayette danced a few beautiful stick flowers with a stick as he walked.
Maud had originally planned to let Jim "drive" the road, so it would save a lot of effort.
As for the reason why the crowd around him would make such a sensitive move, he probably knew the bottom in his heart.
Not only because of his "notoriety", but also because of the killings on East Street.
Although there is no direct and conclusive evidence, most people have directly believed that the murderer is him.
Using the East Street Incident as the introduction of fermentation, it also magnified the notoriety of brutality and murder several times.
That's why the people around you react and behave in this way.
The event was imminent, and the number of soldiers responsible for maintaining order was about five times greater than usual, so to speak, the entire Colosseum was surrounded by water, thus cutting off the crowd that swarmed to it.
Soon, the group of soldiers also noticed something unusual in the crowd.
Then, against the backdrop of the surrounding crowd taking the initiative to give way, they saw Maude and his party coming with aura.
Neither veterans nor recruits have ever seen anything like this outside the Colosseum.
Under the silent gaze of the soldiers, Maude and his party made their way to the entrance, where they saw Law and Bebo.
Maud was a little surprised by this.
In his opinion, Luo didn't seem to be the kind of person who would come and join in the fun.
"Luo, you're here too."
Maud took the initiative to say hello.
The man in front of him, who has not yet made a name for himself, has a lot of valuable information that can be used against Doflamingo.
Although it is not yet the time for deep friendship, it cannot be ignored.
"Maud is in charge."
Law nodded at Maude in response.
At this moment, Bailey and Bebo, the two group pets, once again stared at each other, each with a raging flame.
Without a long delay at the entrance, Maud and the others quickly finished their registration and walked into the Colosseum.
As the cast iron door opened and closed, it also isolated the noise outside.
After entering the Colosseum, Maude and his party ushered in a new round of attention.
The contestants of the Colosseum looked at Maude.
But soon, the contestants' attention shifted to Bailey, who was lying on Maude's shoulder.
"The white tanuki...... Could it be the fighting beast that Maude brought to compete? ”
"It's a weak ......"
The solemnity in the eyes of many contestants quietly faded.
This is the Colosseum, not the Maud Fight.
Just the little bean that looks weak......
There is no threat at all!
