One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 231: Kendo Contest to Be Restarted Ten Years Later

While everyone was cheering for Li Yuan, the staff behind the scenes brought piles of Baileys and treasures to the arena.

The pile of Bailey and treasure also made many people shift their attention from Li Yuan to the piles of treasure and Bailey.

The glittering treasures and the smell of treasure made countless people all over the world jealous, wishing they could pounce on it and take all the treasures for themselves.

"Oh my god, so much Bailey and treasure, how much is it?"

"What a fortune! If I were there, I would rush over and grab everything!"

At this moment, everyone in the world was watching the Pele and treasures being carried up.

Those piles of Baileys and treasures were so dazzling that they blinded the eyes of people all over the world!
The audience present were even more stunned. If they hadn't seen the cadres of the Wuji Pirates suppressing them, they would have wanted to rob directly.

"The first World Kendo Tournament has officially ended. The next World Kendo Tournament will be held in the year 1502 of the Kaien calendar. The Wuji Pirates will announce the specific time at that time."

"Now please invite the top eight contestants to come on stage and take their rewards."

"The first place winner of the Kendo Contest, Li Yuan, will receive 100 billion Baileys and a supreme sword, the Wind-Splitting and Water-Flowing Blade."

"The second place winner, Roger, received 80 billion berries and a large sword, Liuguang."

"The third place winner, Redfield, received 60 billion Baileys."

"The fourth place winner, Wang Zhi, received 50 billion Baileys."

"Fifth place Rayleigh receives 40 billion berries."

"Sixth place Golden Lion Shiki, received 30 billion berries."

"Seventh place winner Yuanliusai Shigekuni receives 20 billion berries."

"Eighth place Silver Axe, receives 10 billion berries."

As the beautiful woman's voice fell, Li Yuan and the other eight contestants all came to the awards.

In order to make the rewards look more, the rewards are half Bailey and half treasure, which completely hits the audience's greed for money.

The total treasure and Bailey here is 39 billion. No one can refuse such a huge amount.

This made everyone in the world remember the wealth of the Wuji Pirates and how important the World Kendo Tournament is!

"Hahahahaha, so many treasures! This is the first time I get so much treasure!"

When Roger saw the pile of treasure and Bailey that belonged to him, he simply lay down on them, hugged them, and rolled a few times.

"Roger, this is being broadcast live to the whole world right now, can you please stop being so embarrassing?"

Seeing his captain's silly look, Rayleigh couldn't help but hold his forehead.

Even though their pirate group is indeed poor, there's no need to show it. Can't they just roll around after moving back on the ship?
Didn't you, Roger, say before that you didn't like treasure? Why are you acting so badly now?
"Hahahaha, take them all. This belongs to you. If you can't carry it all by yourself, call your companions to help you. I won't help you move it anyway."

Li Yuan smiled.

"Captain, Captain, let me help you move it!!!"

Li Yuan had just finished speaking when a little boy with a red nose, who looked about seven or eight years old, ran over excitedly and threw himself on the pile of treasures, rolling around like Roger.

This is not moving, it's clearly hugging and rolling!

"Bucky, didn't you say you were here to move the treasure? Why are you rolling around?"

The red-haired Shanks also ran over from behind.

Seeing this scene, Rayleigh no longer wanted to persuade them anymore. He decided to move the treasure back quickly. He couldn't continue to embarrass himself here and embarrass the whole world!

"Marco, when you go back, collect some detailed explanations of the Six Marine Styles and Wuji Swordsmanship, and practice them. If you don't practice, you will be eliminated in the future!"

Standing on the deck, Whitebeard looked at the Fighting Pyramid not far away and said.

How could Whitebeard not know the purpose of the Battle Pyramid?

With this fighting pyramid, people in the Wuji Pirates will come here when they want to fight, and fighting is the fastest way to increase strength.

In time, batch after batch of elite combat forces will emerge in the Wuji Pirates, which will steadily increase the strength of the Wuji Pirates.

Although their Whitebeard Pirates are not hostile to the Wuji Pirates because of the relationship between Li Yuan and Whitebeard, who can predict what will happen in the future?
The most important thing is that Li Yuan had told him before that Life Return could improve the backlash caused by the Zhenzhen Fruit.

Whitebeard knew the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit very well. The Tremor-Tremor Fruit was very strong, but the backlash was also very serious. Now that he was at his peak, he was not afraid of any backlash.

But as he gets older and his physical strength declines, the hidden injuries accumulated from the past plus the backlash from the Tremor-Tremor Fruit will be fatal.

He didn't care before because he didn't consider what would happen more than ten years later, but after Li Yuan reminded him, he felt that it would be best to resolve this matter in advance, otherwise he would not be able to protect his children in the future.

Life return is a kind of ability that can be controlled by the mind after practicing physical skills to the extreme. Whitebeard has not mastered the technique of life return now, but it should not be difficult if he wants to.

"Dad, I understand. I will work hard to become stronger when I return."

Marco understood the hidden meaning of Whitebeard's words. "Dad, I will also work hard to practice, and I will also participate in the next World Kendo Tournament to let the whole world know that our Whitebeard Pirates also have powerful swordsmen!"

Bista said firmly.

"Gulala, as long as you think you have done well enough, daddy can protect you."

Whitebeard smiled with relief.

After the World Kendo Tournament ended, people from all the major pirate groups left.

However, many swordsmen chose to stay on the island of Venice and in the Fighting Pyramid.

Because the Fighting Pyramid is a place where they can be tempered.

With the end of the World Kendo Tournament, the Fighting Pyramid became a true holy land of battle.

Here each level corresponds to a level of combat power. From the first level to the seventeenth level, the combat power increases as you go higher.

If you want to fight at a higher level, you need to start from the first level and go up layer by layer.

Each time you fight a battle, you can get a certain amount of points. Only when you reach a certain amount of points can you fight on a higher level. The higher the level, the more points you can get in each battle.

Points can be exchanged for Bailey, used for consumption in the Fighting Pyramid, and can also be used to exchange for various rewards released by the Fighting Pyramid, including famous swords, devil fruits, firearms and ammunition, ships, treasures, etc.

It can be said that as long as you are a strong person who wants to fight and get a lot of Bailey at the same time, coming to the Battle Pyramid is the best choice.

Those who wanted to hone themselves, become stronger, and change their destiny through fighting, all came here after hearing about the rules and regulations of the Fighting Pyramid.

After the World Kendo Tournament completely made the Venice Fighting Pyramid famous, as soon as the rules of the Fighting Pyramid were announced, countless people from all over the world wanted to come to the Fighting Pyramid.

The Wuji Pirates rely on the Fighting Pyramid, a money-making weapon, and can be said to be just sitting back and collecting money.

Although 150 billion Beli were invested in the initial construction, and 39 billion Beli were given as rewards for the World Kendo Conference, tens of thousands of people were sent to the Fighting Pyramid to take charge of various affairs.

So much manpower and material resources were spent, but it was all worth it. Now it only takes one or two years to earn back all the money spent before, and the subsequent profit will be pure net profit.

Fishman Island:
This special fish-man living area, located ten thousand meters deep under the sea, is also the only informal channel from the first half of the Grand Line to the New World.

With the advent of the pirate era, more and more pirates are heading to the New World through Fishman Island. Especially with the recent World Kendo Tournament, the flow of people passing through Fishman Island has increased exponentially.

The consequence was that Fishman Island suffered from the impact of a large number of people and suffered heavy damage every day.

With the arrival of many slave-hunting groups, which captured many murlocs and mermaids for sale, the situation on Fishman Island became even worse.

In the Dragon Palace, Neptune felt helpless as he watched the situation on Fishman Island getting worse and worse.

"Princess, what do you think we should do? How about we ask for protection from those big pirates? I know the Whitebeard Pirates, so maybe we can use the power of the Whitebeard Pirates to intimidate those pirates."

Neptune sighed.

Their Fishman Island has asked the World Government for help, but every time the World Government said that it would send the navy to protect Fishman Island, but every time the navy came, they just took a look, captured a few pirates, and left.

The Navy said that they had no obligation to station on Fishman Island for a long time.

"The Whitebeard Pirates' territory is at the back of the New World, and our Fishman Island is at the front of the New World. The two are too far apart."

"What's more, there are many pirate groups in the New World now. The Whitebeard Pirates are not powerful enough to protect our Fishman Island, unless Whitebeard himself comes to live in Fishman Island, but this is impossible."

Princess Otsuhime shook her head.

Although Otohime is very saintly and naive, she still has analytical skills, otherwise she would not have become a princess.

"According to the princess, only the Wuji Pirates and the Feikong Pirates can protect us. Which one should we choose? Will they agree to our choice after we choose?"

Neptune continued to ask.

"I heard that Li Yuan, the captain of the Wuji Pirates, hates slave-hunting groups very much, so all slave trades in the waters ruled by the Wuji Pirates have been cancelled, and all slave-hunting groups are not allowed to enter the Wuji Pirates, otherwise they will be killed by the Wuji Pirates."

"Also, the Wuji Pirates have a fishman captain named Jellal, who has been following Li Yuan since the Rocks era. I heard that he was a slave before."

"Jellard also came back to Fishman Island and stayed there for a while before. I think we can use Jellal's relationship to show the goodwill of our Fishman Island to Li Yuan of the Wuji Pirates."

Otohime analyzed carefully.

Compared to the Hiku Pirates, the Infinite Pirates are a more suitable choice for Fishman Island. This is Otohime's analysis.

"In that case, let's choose the Infinity Pirates. I hope the Infinity Pirates can help our Fishman Island."

Neptune said.

Their Fishman Island is really weak and unable to maintain the Fishman Island independently in this era of pirates.

Although fish-men are naturally stronger than humans, they have never had any advantage in high-level combat power. Some powerful pirates can knock down all the fish-man soldiers on Fish-man Island!
