On the day the World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament began, pirate ships were almost jammed together all around.
Even the powerful Marines dared not provoke these pirates at this time, as there were four Four Emperors among them.
At the same time, the World Government believed that the more pirates fought and killed each other, the better. After the competition, they would pursue some weaker pirates to reduce the effective strength of the pirates.
"Remember to pay the agreed-upon commission, or our boss will come for you personally."
Doflamingo said, holding a Den Den Mushi.
He was contacting Tesoro, owner of the world's largest gambling ship, Gran Tesoro. He was arranging for Tesoro to provide staff to livestream the World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament so that gamblers on Gran Tesoro could place bets, but a five percent commission would be taken from the betting amount.
"I never thought you'd actually pledge allegiance to others!"
"It's just money. I won't go back on my word."
Gran Tesoro said with a smile, looking at the image projected by the Den Den Mushi in front of him.
He was actually somewhat envious of Doflamingo, envious that he could follow a boss who personally killed Celestial Dragons. Although he controlled Celestial Dragons with money, he still didn't dare to kill them.
"Because my boss is destined to rule this world."
Doflamingo didn't say much. After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, he picked up his flamingo feather cloak and walked out of the ship.
Looking at the boundless pirate ships outside, he felt a shiver all over his body. The strong man who could make these pirates bow their heads was definitely his boss!
"The World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament officially begins. Only 1v1 is allowed in the competition. No one else is permitted to interfere or participate. Violators will be killed."
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"
Uchiha Tamahiko appeared on time at nine o'clock, and at the same time warned everyone through an amplified Den Den Mushi.
Then, he clapped his hands, and eight Earth-Style Walls, each with a diameter of five kilometers, directly divided the battle arena into a star shape.
The entire battle arena swayed, and most pirates watched this scene dumbfounded, apparently unable to believe that human power could achieve such a feat.
The Earth-Style Walls were five meters high and three meters wide, mainly used to divide the venue, with no other purpose.
Then, after releasing the Earth-Style Walls, a three-meter-long square pillar was erected in the Four Emperors' battle zone, with the names of the Four Emperors Pirate Crews protruding from it to mark the divisions.
Then, in the very center, Earth Release was used again to create four mud-like seats. Following Kakashi's Earth-Style Wall dog head technique, the names of the Four Emperors Pirate Crews were made to protrude from the tops of the chairs, for the Four Emperors to sit and rest.
The heights were the same, only the sizes differed.
"Interesting power!"
"Why don't you join me, Uchiha!"
The pirates had already gathered in the arena. Kaido, seeing the mud chair that perfectly suited his size, laughed and extended an invitation.
"You're not qualified enough."
Uchiha Tamahiko leaped onto his chair and sat down, then replied very coldly.
"Kaido, this brat will be dealt with by me!"
Charlotte sneered.
But she was quick to act, also sitting down, preparing to enhance her breakfast experience with the upcoming battle.
"Join my subordinates now, and I can still protect you, Uchiha!"
Kaido sat down, still not forgetting to continue inviting Uchiha Tamahiko.
Red-Haired Shanks sat down without any unnecessary words. He was ready to see how this competition would unfold.
"The competition begins. Four Emperors' challengers, please step onto the stage. Other combat zones, those willing to serve as challengers, please step onto the stage."
Uchiha Tamahiko took out the amplified Den Den Mushi, and his voice was transmitted to all the pirates in the arena through the Den Den Mushi prepared around the battle arena.
As his voice fell, the Four Emperors' defending members immediately appeared in the spacious battle zones.
Uchiha Shisui was responsible for defending the Uchiha's stage!
The Beasts Pirates' defender was Jack the Drought, the All-Star.
BIG MOM's defender was Minister of Candy, Perospero.
The Red Hair Pirates' defender was the sniper, Yasopp.
However, no one immediately stepped forward to challenge the Four Emperors' stages.
"Boom!"
"This stage, I'll take it!"
Suddenly, a man full of bulging muscles jumped directly from mid-air into the center of one of the combat divisions, announcing to those around him.
Douglas Bullet.
A former crewmate of the Pirate King.
"Bullet!"
Red Hair was surprised to see him.
He clearly didn't expect to encounter someone he knew.
"This guy showed up too. It seems this competition has attracted quite a few people!"
Kaido was also full of excitement.
Only Charlotte was extremely regal, with her subordinates and Homies preparing a noble tea party for her nearby.
However, many people in the arena didn't recognize Douglas Bullet. After all, it had been almost twenty years since the Pirate King's death, and many pirates in the arena were newcomers, clearly unfamiliar with this pirate who had been imprisoned for so long.
So, seeing Bullet, many people were eager to go up and teach him a lesson.
"Whitebeard Pirates, claim this stage."
At the same time, a pillar of fire fell from the sky and struck the ground. Ace emerged from the flames, directly planting the Whitebeard Pirates' flag into the ground.
He domineeringly announced to the crowd.
Seeing Ace, many people in the arena were surprised.
At the same time, the name of the Whitebeard Pirates still made many people feel pressure. Compared to Ace, everyone wanted to challenge Bullet more.
"Don't run around. Just watch from here."
Hawkeye instructed Zoro, and at the same time, he also carried his black blade and walked step by step towards another empty stage.
As the strongest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk felt he had the strength to occupy a stage and prove his power.
He didn't want to miss such a battle.
Looking at Hawkeye, Zoro felt his blood boil. He also wanted to participate in this World's Greatest Martial Arts Tournament to prove his strength and fulfill his promise.
But he knew very well that his own strength was insufficient; going up would be suicide. It was better to watch his cheap teacher perform and learn more abilities.
"The strongest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk!"
Seeing Mihawk, some people who were originally preparing to occupy the stage Hawkeye was heading for all gave up.
The opponent was already the strongest among swordsmen, enough to prove that his strength was not far from the truly strongest. No one would go up to challenge him at this time.
"Weevil, the title of the strongest will definitely be yours. You will inherit everything from your father!"
"Go, occupy the last stage!"
A short old woman next to him said very domineeringly.
"Oh!"
At the same time, a burly man next to him, holding a naginata, let out a roar.
Then he jumped directly into the center of the last stage, shattering the ground, and brandished his naginata at the pirates in the arena in a show of defiance.
Many strong individuals came forth one after another, but the title of'strongest' attracted everyone. They couldn't retreat without even trying once.
"I'll challenge you!"
A pirate with a bounty of 300 million directly stepped out and pointed at Douglas Bullet.
Before he could even display his strength, Bullet rushed in front of him, and his huge fist directly smashed into his face, sending him flying over two thousand meters, almost knocking him into the sea.
This pirate also fainted directly, with no strength left to fight.
"Bring me some interesting guys to warm up before the semi-finals!"
Bullet grinned, a smile terrifying enough to make children cry.
But its deterrent power was equally immense for the pirates in the arena. Seeing the pirate who was barely alive just now, some pirates who had originally wanted to challenge Bullet all abandoned this unrealistic idea.
"I want to challenge you!"
"The Four Emperors can challenge each other too, right? Because maybe there are imposters mixed in!"
Charlotte Cracker stepped out, drew the longsword from his waist, pointed it at Shisui, and questioned with a provocative smile on his face.
"Hahaha, if you're scared, then run away, brat!"
Charlotte laughed very happily.
This was naturally her plan. Since Uchiha had killed her daughter and captured her son, she would also make Uchiha Tamahiko lose his subordinate.
This was revenge!
