Chapter 39: Gathering

After coming out of the restaurant, the three separated.

Saab has to spy on Bell's castle, figure out the garrison inside, probe the terrain, and plan an evacuation route.

Rod and Kerra went to the venue of the ring match and secretly observed.

Before he arrived, he heard an earth-shattering noise in front of him, and the voices of people were boiling and shouting endlessly.

It is an extremely wide circular square, surrounded by auditoriums, on which sit a series of figures, including the fish-people, long-handed, long-legged and other races.

Rhodes also saw that some well-dressed nobles had red faces and shouted to vent, and some noblewomen even had green eyes and stared at the strong men on the stage like wolves.

"Every once in a while, Bell takes out the Devil Fruit and uses it to hold a tournament and attract popularity."

"Usually, this place is used for gambling, players go to the stage to fight against each other, win bonuses, and the audience bets on gambling, forming an industry that makes money every day."

There was undisguised disgust in Kerra in her eyes.

This kind of battle is not taboo about life and death, the scene is often extremely bloody, often cut into two pieces alive, and sometimes slaves are used to play, and the kind-natured Kerra is naturally unaccustomed to it.

Rod's expression was faint, natural selection, you love me, there is nothing to say.

Soon the game began.

There were two tall and strong men who came up, both of them played extremely fiercely, and the hot battle instantly stimulated the audience.

The whole arena went into a state of madness.

As one contestant took the stage and lost again, the game gradually entered a climax.

After each fight, the winner is naturally elated, shouting excitedly, and the loser hates and scolds the street, very unwilling, and even wants to press all the family property.

In the interval between the games, there were hot girls with good figures and scantily dressed people dancing on stage, and the whole scene was always maintained in a frenzied atmosphere.

"It's too weak."

Looking at this scene, Rod shook his head.

Most of these people who came to power were at the bottom of the new world, and they couldn't even master the two-color domineering, so it's no wonder that they worked hard to get a bonus.

"Of course that's the case now."

"In two days, when the real tournament starts, there will still be masters," Kella said. ”

"There will even be some pirate captains who have just come to the New World and will personally come to the stage to fight."

"Although the price of the Devil Fruit is clearly marked, most of the time, there is no market."

Rod nodded slightly.

The most important reason is probably because these pirate captains, after coming to the new world, experienced the difference in strength between heaven and earth, and couldn't wait to become stronger.

Even if it's betting on the power of the Devil Fruit, it's not hesitating.

"Strength, but it is more tempting than money and power."

"With strength, you can have money, power and status, you can get everything you want and realize your dreams." He muttered to himself.

Rhodes was lucky.

The existence of the Book of Knowledge changed his destiny and gave him the opportunity to step on the top and overlook the world.

And Rhodes seized this opportunity, which means that the world will be different.

"Let's go."

As it got dark, Rhodes and the two left the arena and found a hotel to stay in.

Soon, Saab and they met, and the three of them discussed it before falling asleep.

Of course, Rhodes is still a thunderbolt forging body instead of sleep, and he will never slack off in this regard.

Time has come to the spring of 1521 in the Haiyuan calendar, and it is getting closer and closer to that turbulent era, and the time left for Rod to become stronger and stronger is naturally less and less.

The next few days are the time to find out the information and wait for the ring to start.

Rhodes was very laid-back, and the hotel was not suitable for high-intensity exercise, so he wandered around town, and when he came across a weapon shop, he would go in and see if he could find a good sword like Sauron.

However, this thing is obviously unavailable, or it is difficult to have a famous knife without an owner in the fiercely competitive new world, and after a few days, Rhodes has gained nothing.

Finally, the last day came.

On this afternoon, when I entered the arena, I obviously felt that the atmosphere was completely different from the previous days.

The audience sat there, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

On the one hand, the quality of this group of spectators is higher than usual, either rich or expensive, or strong, on the other hand, it is also because the vicinity of the arena is full of fierce bodyguards and guards, all with guns and swords, cold eyes, obviously well-trained.

"It's coming, it's coming."

The crowd was in a commotion, and a group of people rushed up to the high VIP seats.

"That's Buckley, the pillar of the Hundred Beast Pirates!"

"Eh, the Lord of Belle Island is here too."

"Oh, the captain of the Silver Sword Pirates is here, and I heard that he is looking for a devil fruit, so I'm afraid he will come to the scene himself."

Every big man appeared on the stage, which caused a burst of discussion below, some with envy, some with hate, and some sighs.

These people on the stage are all famous in this sea, and some of them are quite famous in the entire New World.

"Hey, who is this woman, so beautiful!"

Some people in the audience were secretly suspicious, and many men who lacked concentration even had red eyes and gave souls to them.

"I don't even know Stussy, the queen of Happy Street, so you better not mix in New World!" Someone mocked.

"Queen of Joy Street?"

The person who spoke before was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly thought of something, and suddenly his face turned white, and he quickly shut up.

Kerra also looked solemn and said in a low voice: "It turned out that Stussy was visiting, no wonder Bell would come directly to the scene." ”

"I just didn't expect that even the pillars of the Hundred Beast Pirates came, and it seems that Stussy's status in the dark world is even higher than imagined."

Rod nodded slightly, Stussy was able to sit at the main table at the tea party of the Four Emperor Aunts, and he was obviously at the level of an old monster, that is, the big muscle tyrants of the Hundred Beast Pirates, and they all had to give face.

"It's okay that if the attention is drawn here, Saab's actions will go a lot smoother."

Kerra breathed a sigh of relief, "But we'd better make a bigger move on our side, we don't have any risk anyway." ”

"Hmm."

Rod nodded and looked around, he was looking for Peach Rabbit, on such a big occasion, it stands to reason that Peach Rabbit should also come.

Of course, it can't be the identity of the navy, but the identity of the audience, after all, this is the territory of the Hundred Beast Pirates, and if the identity of the navy is openly revealed, I am afraid that something big will happen.

The Four Emperors Kaido is a real madman and fanatic, and if the navy dares to provoke, he dares to rush the naval base and even the naval headquarters.

At this time, a cold female voice suddenly came from behind.

"Imp, are you looking for me?"
