Chapter 26: Prelude

New World, Dressrosa.

The streets were full of laughter, greeting each other, making noise, talking loudly, and laughing, and there was not a word of sighing or a sad face. Here, even the most miserable and painful people seem to be infected and leave their troubles behind.

First-time visitors will be amazed by the unique scenery here.

First, walking on the road, from time to time you can see bold men and women who show their love in public, and you will also see treacherous people who turn against each other and are hunted down and killed.

The second is even more amazing, that is, the toys that are unique to the locals of Dressrosa, these things that are supposed to be for children to play with can become labor, and even open their mouths to speak, making Dressrosa as magical as a fairytale kingdom.

And today's Dressrosa, even in a country known for its love and passion, is particularly lively and noisy. Because, in the bullfighting arena in the heart of the city, the final of the annual gladiator tournament will be played in the afternoon!

"Extra! Extra! ”

"Dressrosa's proud top performance, the final of the Gladiator Arena is about to begin!"

"At one o'clock in the afternoon, the king and his cadres will once again open the finals of the 7th General Assembly!"

"Final Preview! Take you to know the 'aces' in the gladiatorial arena! Gambling betting, a must-see for you! ”

"Surprise! The final prize is actually it......"

……

The newsboys of the various newspaper offices shouted and shouted all over the streets, and the headlines were more exaggerated than the other, and I am afraid that even those who were not interested in gladiatorial games could not resist spending a few baileys to buy a newspaper to see.

On the street, eight expressionless and out-of-place Dressrosa men passed by a newsboy, and the red-haired man stopped and said to the newsboy, who was doing business, "Please bring me a copy." How much? ”

The newsboy was putting the money he had just received into his pocket, when he heard that someone was buying another newspaper, and when he looked back, he saw a pair of strange eyes with ripples.

The teenage little newsboy was not afraid when he saw these pair of gray eyes, but after a curious look, he replied crisply: "Five Bailey, sir!" ”

Hearing the answer, the tall beauty behind the red-haired man came over, took out the five-Bailey note and handed it to the newsboy, and handed the newspaper to the red-haired man.

"Doflamingo will show up as scheduled." Seeing the news printed in the newspaper that the king would unveil the final according to tradition, the red-haired man said.

"So, follow your plan." The woman returned to the red-haired man and stood, pushed her glasses and said, "The time is today...... Mr. Nagato! ”

These eight people are none other than Nagato and CP9 Seven!

At this time, it was already a month after meeting with Law, and it was also the twentieth day of arriving in Dressrosa. In the past twenty days, in addition to the planned advance deployment and the state preparation of everyone, Nagato is waiting for today's opportunity.

Nagato nodded, and the eight of them continued to walk forward: "Are their respective goals clear?" ”

Behind him, the six responded one by one.

Gabra: "Hmph, of course! ”

Kaku said humbly: "It should be easy to deal with a child. ”

Bruno: "Uh-huh......"

Take: "Anytime you can act, you can do it at any time!" ”

Owl: "If you answer, it should be easy, right~"

Kalifa: "My part was reconfirmed three days ago. ”

Only Luci didn't speak, but his longing look already indicated his state.

The state of the seven people is very different from twenty days ago, because after learning about Nagato's plan and their respective tasks, they saw some hope when they were just fighting against the odds.

The odds have re-ignited them!

"Then let's get ready."

After Nagato's words, six of the seven people behind him immediately left the group and scattered, leaving only Bruno and Nagato to go with them, and their direction was the bullfighting arena, where the finals of the athletic competition were held.

After arriving outside the bullring arena and showing their reserved tickets, Nagato and Bruno entered with the surging crowd and sat down.

The bullfighting arena in Dressrosa is very similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum, with a surrounding spectator seat surrounding the gladiatorial arena in the center.

But the biggest difference is that in the four stone brick roads where the gladiators entered, there is a huge display screen above the north road, and there is a protruding platform at the top of the screen, where the king of Dressrosa and his officers will open the final and watch the final.

Nagato and Bruno's seats are located on the lower right of this platform.

After taking their seats, at the bottom left of the platform, almost opposite Nagato, two people sat down one after another. Nagato and Bruno exchanged glances, but remained silent.

Those two were Kaku and Gabry.

The two groups of people scattered and sat down one after the other, like strangers who didn't know each other. Similarly, Lucci came in and sat down on the upper right side of the platform.

Only Ogour, Owl, and Kalifa don't come in, and their mission is outside the arena.

Soon, just 15 minutes before 1 p.m., the annual final will begin!

On the platform of the big screen on the north side of the arena, a group of figures gradually appeared from the passage and walked out, and suddenly, the noisy and noisy arena was quiet, but in the next second, a bigger huge sound sounded in the sky!

"Ohβ€”β€”! King! ”

"That lord has appeared, as well as the family officials!"

"Normally, it's very rare to see Master Diamanti in the arena. Only at this annual event, all the top cadres at the same level as Lord Diamanti will all appear! ”

"Not to mention, from the hands of the group of bastards of the Rick royal family, the 'Tenyasha' lord who saved this country, shocked the whole world with the terrifying posture of the 'Seven Martial Seas of the King', and protected this country from pirates!"

"Long live Don Quixoteβ€”β€”!!!"

……

The shouts of cheer and screams continued for a long time, until the man in the fiery red feather coat on the platform pressed his hands weakly.

Exactly Doflaminco!

And, the cadres of the Don Quixote family stood in a row and neatly behind him.

The people of Dressrosa were excited, but the king they had embraced was a little agitated at this time.

"Where's Violet?" Doflamingo asked with a tilt of his head to Torrebol behind him.

"Huh?" Torrebol gave a slow pause, then replied, "Before I came, she said there was something, and I saidβ€”she's gone, but she said she'd be back before the openingβ€”I said." ”

"It's opening time, is she back?" Torrebol's nonsense is simply angry people, but Doflamingo, who knows what kind of character he is, has long been used to it, and reprimands him with a sentence of "Forget it, leave her alone for now." ”

After saying that, Doflamingo stepped forward with all the cadres who were the only ones missing violet and began his opening speech.

"Boom...... My dear people......"

While Doflamingo was speaking, Nagato, who was sitting below, was talking to the phone: "Ro, how are you doing over there?" ”

"By the time you say so, I'll be here with reinforcements." The phone bug replied, "From 'Greenbit'!" ”

Nagato said: "Well, then continue according to the plan, contact and fetch it, at this time, he should already be with 'Violet'." To ensure their rendezvous with Kalifa, our actions need to be synchronized. ”

"No need to be reminded." The phone worm said, "I'm familiar with your plan, and Nagato is in charge." ”

After confirming with each other, the two hung up the phone.

At this time, Doflamingo had also finished his speech and was replaced by Diamanti, the top cadre introducing the gladiators who had been brutally eliminated and entered this final battle!

And on Nagato's lap, the newspaper that Gobailey had bought was spread out. In the "Final Preview! Take you to know the 'aces' in the gladiatorial arena! Gambling betting, a must-see for you! Under this news, among the dozens of photos of the final gladiators, one of them was the god of the empty island who had died in the hands of Nagato - Anilu!
