Chapter 022: The Target
The Fighting Tournament in the Flower Country is held once a month, and in order to maximize the strength of the country, the venue of the Fighting Tournament is also designed to be magnificent, which is quite popular with everyone.
Of course, in order not to waste resources, at other times, there are some small competitions in the arena, but the number of spectators is far less than that of a fighting tournament.
Feeling the shock of the building in front of him, Carl couldn't help but be a little dazed.
The industrial level of this world is obviously very backward, but there will always be some magnificent buildings that the people of the earth cannot imagine. For example, the Gate of Justice on the Island of Justice and the stone pillars of the Upside-Down Mountain, what kind of skilled craftsmen can build this kind of landscape that can be called a wonder of the world?
Despite its name, a fighting tournament is actually nothing more than a brawl for people to watch, and it does not have the cumbersome rules and strict procedures of sports competitions on the planet.
In order to maximize the "entertainment value" of each participant, the rules of the tournament are basically the same as the one that Luffy will participate in in Dressrosa in the future. First of all, all the contestants are divided into four groups of ABCD, and finally the contestants standing on the field are the winners and enter the semi-finals. Next is the winner group of AB and the winner group of CD, which adopts the elimination system. The eventual winner can receive a prize of 10 million Baileys.
Although the navy could not easily arrest pirates within the territory of the Flower Country, in order to minimize the possibility of getting into trouble, Karl still wore sunglasses and a beard.
Hidden among passers-by, Carl could vaguely hear passers-by talking about the race.
"Hey, have you heard? It is said that Lao Cai of the Eight Treasures Water Army also participated in this competition. ”
"Is that the old Cai who was heavily cultivated and taught by the leader Qingjiao?"
"Yes, it's that Lao Cai. I also heard that the leader Qingjiao plans to train Lao Cai to become the next generation of pillars of the Eight Treasures Water Army. ”
"Then the other contestants are not good, the Eight Treasure Water Army's Eight Punches are very powerful moves, and it is said to have a history of hundreds of years. The leader of the Eight Treasures Water Army, Qing Jiao, is a sea thief with a reward of 500 million Bailey, and his heirs should be very powerful, right? ”
"That being said, it's not really certain who the champion is."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you remember a very powerful monk came a few days ago? That Devil Fruit Ability, his hands were as sharp as a quick knife, and his body was as hard as a steel plate. ”
"Could it be that he's also in a fighting tournament?"
"That's right. That's why I said that it is not certain who will win and who will lose in the result! ”
"Looks like this fight tournament is having fun."
“……”
Mr.1 Daz Bonis and the winner of life, Lao Cai?
Looking at the backs of the two passers-by who were getting farther and farther away, Karl gradually became excited in his heart, "I seem to be looking forward to this competition more and more." ”
Karl's game was in Match A, and it didn't take long for Carl to come into play.
After walking into the competition venue with a group of big men who are five big and three rough and comparable to strange breeds, Carl couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart.
Who says all men are created equal?
When Empress Boya Hancock stood with the fat woman Yarrita, whether it was a man or a woman, young or old, they would definitely not give the same evaluation in their hearts.
With the referee's order, the players who were already glaring at each other in the field were like the "five poisons" put in the same cage.
"Let's talk about grabbing someone's head first!"
Maybe he thought Carl looked a little thin, but after a man muttered a word, he pounced directly on Carl without saying anything.
Feeling the dangerous aura coming from the side, Carl turned around, but he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, "This guy is still a fishman?" ”
To be precise, it should be a hybrid of a human and a fish-man, because if you don't look closely, there is little difference between that fish-man and an ordinary human man.
I saw that the fish-man suddenly lay on the ground, his muscles bulged high, and his originally exposed skin was gradually covered with a layer of scale armor, and his mouth suddenly opened wide, revealing the sharp fangs inside!
Crocodile species? Carl frowned, vaguely remembering that crocodiles weren't fish.
However, this is not the earth, it is a different world with strange creatures like the "King of the Sea", and when he thinks of this, Carl is relieved.
In the short moment when Carl was distracted, the fish-man had already jumped suddenly, rushing towards him, the speed was like a flash, and a bloody mouth exuded the oppressive feeling of the "King of the Near Sea"!
Looking at the ferocious fishman who revealed his true face in the blink of an eye, Carl actually felt as if he was being targeted by an extremely fierce sea beast, which was a kind of momentum that could only be tempered in the experience of life and death, this kind of momentum, Carl had only seen in his former captain, and even the reckless bear man who blew himself up did not have!
Carl has been worried about his grievances these days, and there is no place to vent his grievances. Although the Panda King is a good sparring opponent, Carl beats it like a rubber man, and he always feels that his strength can't play a role.
Carl staggered his waist, held his breath, clenched his hands into fists, and the muscles of his arms bulged, but he did not dodge or dodge, waiting for the fish-man's attack.
The fishman spun in mid-air, and in an instant, a mouthful of steel teeth slammed into Karl's head like a meat grinder.
And in the next second, Carl's hands that were originally clenched into fists were opened, his eyes were fast, and his two palms were like a pair of vices, which were actually clamped on the shoulders of the fish-man, making the rotating meat grinder stop alive.
The fish-man felt the sharp pain in his shoulders, and his heart was shocked, he had no idea that a mere human who looked extremely weak could have such tremendous strength, not even weaker than himself!
He wanted to resist and fight back at Carl. But suddenly he felt the sky spinning in front of him, and then he was slammed to the ground by Carl, and his head was on the ground.
The fish-man felt a pain in the top of his head, his eyes darkened, and then he was no longer conscious.
"Uh, am I a little too excited?"
Unexpectedly, he actually killed this fishman whose strength seemed to be good in one move, and Carl was a little depressed in his heart. It's rare to see a fish-man, you can experience the fish-man's moves, and you don't use all your strength if you know it.
"Hey, hey, look over there, who's that guy? Just the one with sunglasses! ”
"I don't know, I haven't seen it."
"Oh my God, he's beaten another fighter, and this is the sixth I've seen!"
In the audience, someone had already begun to notice Carl's movements.
Karl is very unhappy right now, he has no goal, he attacks whoever he sees is close to him, and after playing one, he replaces the next.
"This group of players is too weak, right? Why is it all a one-trick second of goods? It's really boring! ”
The battle-hungry Karl has gradually become the target of the players in the field!
