The corridors of the Colosseum are spacious.

On both sides of the corridor, there are relief stone pillars every few meters, which lead to the end.

The semi-circular arc floor is made of square stone slabs, on which dark blue markings are faintly visible, giving it a heavy sense of déjà vu.

Maud walked up the corridor and saw many people with different expressions.

These people sat or stood, in a vague manner, watching the contestants who walked from the entrance to the place.

This kind of wait-and-see behavior, which is full of pretenses, is more out of investigation.

At the end of the day, the championship has injected unprecedented energy into the Colosseum.

In order to get the devil fruit that is rumored to be an ancient species of animal, and Bailey, which starts at 50 million.

In the Colosseum, both novices and veterans are full of energy.

It's good to say that the ancient Devil Fruit of the animal system is a rare thing in the world, and it is highly striking.

If it weren't for the state of Ahab's kingdom, it would be hard to imagine that such a rare Devil Fruit would be used as a prize for the winner of a competition for the pleasure of fighting beasts.

As soon as he entered the Colosseum, Maud was once again baptized by the gaze.

This is the inevitable effect of fame.

Let him always attract the attention of most of the people present wherever he goes.

The gaze that looked at him was mostly undisguised scrutiny.

If his reputation had been more intimidating, even if it would attract the attention of those around him, he would not have been so unscrupulously scrutinized.

Ignoring the gaze from the surroundings, Maude and his party walked in two ways under the guidance of the staff.

Maud is a contestant, so take the left lane to the lounge, while Lafayette is a spectator and has to go to the Colosseum spectator from the right lane.

As they parted, Maud glanced at Lafayette, who gestured to him with no problem.

In addition to getting Devil Fruits, they also plan to make a fortune from the Colosseum tournament betting on this competition.

And their gambling money is tens of millions of Baileys that have been looted from East Street recently.

In addition, their trump card is the seemingly weak, helpless and pitiful Bailey.

The two fundamentally different Baileys are the key to their success in this Colosseum.

After parting ways with Lafayette, Maud and Rowe went to the lounge prepared for the contestants.

According to the staff who led the way, there are 50 large rest rooms in the Colosseum, which covers an area several times larger than the regular ancient Roman Colosseum.

At present, every lounge is full, which shows how hot the Colosseum is this time.

After arriving at the lounge, as the staff said, the lounge was full of people.

At this point, Bebo and Bailey were led to another room by the staff as fighting animals.

Seeing that the lounge was crowded, Maud turned around and walked away, coming to the corridor outside.

Luo naturally couldn't go in and squeeze in, and followed Maude to the outside.

It's no wonder that along the way, there are so many contestants on the corridor who stop or sit on the ground.

Feelings are not all for scouting, but the lounge is full.

Maude leaned against the wall of the corridor, took out the book of the rules of the beast fighting that he had just asked the staff, and looked down and read it carefully.

Not far away, a handful of contestants looked in amazement at Maude, who was flipping through a small book of rules.

That kind of small book is actually for the audience.

Normally, people who come to participate in the competition will basically have an in-depth understanding of the rules of the fighting beast in advance.

And on the eve of the start of the Colosseum, Maud actually took out a small book of rules and flipped through it, and he read it so seriously.

It feels like they're playing with a ticket.

Maud ignored the surprised stares from around her, and looked at the rules of the tournament with great interest.

Luo didn't disturb Maude's interest, leaned against the wall with his knife, lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

After a long time, Maud closed the notebook.

"It's a bad taste."

Maud muttered to herself.

Fighting beasts, understood literally, is the fight of beasts.

The rules are not complicated and clear enough.

In short, the condition for victory is to not die.

Interestingly, the word "beast" in the fighting beast also includes human beings.

In other words, in the subsequent Colosseum, in addition to the more common large and ferocious beasts, it is possible to see humans on all fours.

In addition to this, it is interesting that the fighting beasts participating in the battle can wear all kinds of special equipment and props.

Maud didn't really know this rule before he brought Pele to the race.

But it doesn't matter.

Anyway, Bailey's positioning in the competition is to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and play a few waves of weak, pitiful and helpless in the early stage, so as to raise the odds of the gambling handicap a little, so that he doesn't have to wear those messy equipment.

Hearing Maude's whisper, Law slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Maude.

Sensing Luo's gaze, Maude held up a small notebook and asked, "Do you know the rules?" ”

Law shook his head.

It was Bei Bo who came to participate in the tournament and it was not him, so how could he have an in-depth understanding of the rules of the beast.

"Before the tournament starts, take a few looks?"

Maude shook the rules book at Luo.

"Not interested."

Law rejects Maude's kindness.

Maude looked at Luo in surprise and sighed, "You are really casual. ”

“……”

Luo raised his hand and pulled down the edge of his fur hat a little, thinking to himself that a temporary cram like you, who is qualified to talk about me.

The attitude of these two contestants is full of ticket nature.

However, the fighting beasts brought by them were full of high fighting spirit.

Time passed little by little.

As the curtain came down on the opening ceremony, the circular Colosseum was filled with stepped auditoriums that could accommodate more than 100,000 people.

Outside of the Colosseum, there are also live broadcasts by video bugs.

For this event, the kingdom of Ahab poured almost all its manpower and resources into it.

In return, when the competition is over, there will definitely be a lot of money.

Maud and Law made their way to the viewing platform at the top and looked down at the dense crowd of human heads in the amphitheater.

"A lot of people ......"

Maude's eyes flashed with a strange color.

Despite some psychological preparation, the heat of this event was still beyond his imagination.

He looked at the audience with no more than half of the seats left, and a thought suddenly sprung up in his mind.

In time, if you have enough capital......

Perhaps, he can also prepare a "World Expo" similar to the Colosseal Competition.

As long as you prepare a blockbuster prize that makes all the heroes irresistible, you can turn the "World Expo" into a rat trap and attract prey one by one.

As her mind fluctuated, Maude's eyes narrowed slightly.

Luo noticed it, and looked at Maude with a slight surprise who exuded a wisp of awe-inspiring aura.

At this moment, with the host's passionate opening remarks, in the amphitheater, the large iron gate of the fence located in four directions slowly rose, and figures walked out of the iron gate.

In the center of the arena is a large square stone ring with four straight stone paths extending from the perimeter.

The end of the stone path leads to the iron gate, and the overall appearance is quite similar to the cross-street structure in Dick City.

The rest of the area is occupied by a thorn-like plant.

The thorny plant was the root of Luo's trip, the hanging lantern vine.

The spikes on the roots are highly poisonous, and even if they are just stabbed into a small wound, the toxin that seeps into the bloodstream can make the poisoned person experience a heart-wrenching pain that is worse than death in just one minute.

If there is no antidote, the poisoned person will die of life.

This highly poisonous plant is not only a national treasure for the survival of Ahab, but also a frequent visitor to a variety of tortures, and is often used by nobles to torture slaves for fun.

At this time, the area outside the square ring was laid with hanging lantern vine roots, and its intention was obvious.

Above the auditorium on the south side of the arena, a giant screen hangs.

As the Imager Worm looked into the arena, a live image of a giant beast appeared on the giant screen.

After zooming in on the camera, the terrifying deterrence displayed by the beast caused the audience to exclaim frequently.

Suddenly, the staff in charge of the broadcast was very mischievous and put the perspective of the video bug on a particular contestant.

Immediately afterward, the screen showed the dwarf figure of Bailin crawling slowly on the stone path, which contrasted sharply with the giant and mighty beasts around him.

There was a brief silence in the auditorium.

A few seconds later, laughter poured into the arena.

"Poof, hahaha!"

"Haha, what's that little white thing?"

"That kind of body type, if you are stepped on, you can finish the game, right?"

"Hahaha......"

Seeing Bailey's salted fish, not only the audience in the Colosseum burst into joy, but even laughter came from outside.

It's so much fun.

It was the first time they had seen such a small thing participate in the never-ending Colosseum.

Perhaps, as soon as it opens, it will be trampled into a small cake.
