Douluo: I can upgrade my luck by traveling through One Piece.

Under Sandasonia's careful arrangement, Ma Xiaotao was quickly arranged to appear on stage without going through too many tedious procedures.

Her heart was filled with nervousness and anticipation, and the surrounding environment made her feel both unfamiliar and exciting.

The sunlight shines on the ground through the towering trees. This city, which seems to be built in the forest, makes Ma Xiaotao feel quite novel.

Especially the arena below.

The breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of fresh air.

She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm and prepare for the upcoming challenge.

Ma Xiaotao's first opponent was a female warrior from Nine Snake Island named Kuya.

She is tall, muscular, and exudes a strong sense of confidence.

Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, revealing an aura that should not be underestimated.

Kuya was wearing a light combat uniform, the fabric shimmering slightly in the sun, showing her extraordinary combat power. Ma Xiaotao thought to herself that the opponent in front of her was definitely not a good person.

"Hello, outsider, my name is Kuya, what's your name?"

Kuya's voice was clear and infectious, with a friendly smile on his face, and he seemed to be full of curiosity about this unfamiliar opponent.

Ma Xiaotao was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Kuya to take the initiative to say hello.

She originally thought she would be facing a cold-blooded warrior, but the Kuya in front of her seemed so kind.

"Hello, Kuya, my name is Ma Xiaotao."

Kuya's smile grew wider, with a glimmer of exploration in his eyes.

"Ma Xiaotao, what an interesting name! Where are you from?"

Her tone was relaxed and casual, as if she was chatting with an old friend.

"I come from a place far away, you probably don't know me."

Ma Xiaotao smiled.

"Oh, that's it."

Kuya smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Her eyes were fixed on Ma Xiaotao, and she noticed that the other person's body was shaking slightly, which made her feel a little confused.

Could it be that Ma Xiaotao was so uneasy because she was nervous?
Kuya thought to herself, but her smile became even gentler.

"Don't worry, I won't let you go easily, but I won't let you get hurt either."

Kuya's voice was as warm as a spring breeze, with a hint of intimacy and understanding.

She knew that even the strongest warriors would feel a little nervous and uneasy when facing a battle.

She hopes that Ma Xiaotao can put aside her worries and fully demonstrate her strength.

"Oh?"

Ma Xiaotao raised her eyebrows slightly, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"You must have misunderstood. I'm not nervous, but excited about the upcoming battle!"

After she finished speaking, her aura changed instantly, like a phoenix about to spread its wings and soar into the sky.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's martial spirit possession was completed, and the scorching phoenix fire wrapped around her body like a raging flame. The entire duel arena instantly turned into a furnace of fire. The temperature suddenly rose, and a hot breath filled the air.

The audience couldn't help but hold their breath, their eyes flashing with surprise and admiration.

"Ma Xiaotao?"

There was a hint of surprise in Kuya's voice.

"You are so strong?"

Her face was full of surprise and she secretly admired it in her heart.

As a female warrior who has dominated the arena for many years, Kuya has always longed to compete with a strong enemy, but the majesty of the empress makes her dare not challenge easily.

She had not encountered an equally powerful opponent in this arena for a long time. Ma Xiaotao in front of her seemed to make her see the long-lost fighting passion.

As Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Fire grew stronger and stronger, Kuya felt a long-lost excitement, as if he was also infected by that enthusiasm.

Her heartbeat began to accelerate, and the blood in her body was completely ignited at this moment.

She knew that today's battle would be a rare opportunity, a chance for her to give it her all and see the strong people in this world who were as strong as her.

"Come on, Ma Xiaotao!"

Kuya's voice was as loud as a war drum, and his eyes flashed with a flame of challenge, as if calling for the other party's response.

She leaned forward slightly, emitting a strong aura that shook the air around her.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the entire arena seemed to freeze, and the audience's heartbeats accelerated with her every move.

Ma Xiaotao stood opposite, a fire had already ignited in her heart. She took a deep breath, feeling the power in her body surging.

As she slowly raised her hand, the palm of her hand flickered with light like cherry blossoms. It was a high-level Armament Haki technique - Ryusakura.

The radiance of Ryuzakura blossomed in her palm, as if countless petals were flying in the air, both beautiful and deadly.

Her aura also instantly increased at this moment, like a blooming cherry blossom, gorgeous and powerful, which made people feel awe.

The eyes of the two powerful men met in the air, and the air was filled with a tense and intense atmosphere, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Ma Xiaotao's heart was beating like thunder, and countless training scenes flashed through her mind. Those were the sweat and hard work she had put in for today's battle.

She knew that this was not just a battle, but also a proof of her own strength.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's body rushed towards Kuya like a flaming phoenix.

Her legs cut through the air like flames, and the raging extreme fire carried a terrifying power to burn everything, as if the whole world was turning to ashes under her feet.

Her control was extremely precise, and under her guidance, the flames were like a nimble flaming phoenix, rushing towards Kuya with unparalleled power and beauty.

Faced with such an attack, Kuya looked solemn and was secretly alert.

She knew that Ma Xiaotao's flames were not just dazzling on the surface, but also contained enormous destructive power.

In order to deal with this sudden attack, Kuya quickly adjusted his posture, covered his long legs with armed color domineering, and was ready to meet this fierce attack.

"bring it on!"

She muttered to herself in her heart, her eyes fixed on Ma Xiaotao's figure.

Just as the two were about to collide, Kuya's whip kick swung out like lightning and kicked the Flame Phoenix hard.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the audience held their breath, staring closely at the impending collision.

With a loud bang, the whip kick and the fire phoenix collided with each other, and a terrifying heat wave swept over, like a small volcanic eruption.

The strong shock wave caused the stands of the arena to shake violently. The surrounding Amazon female warriors covered their faces with their hands, feeling the burning sensation of the heat wave, and their skin seemed to be burned.

Their hearts were filled with surprise and awe, and they were secretly glad that they did not participate in this fierce battle.

On the other side of the arena, Huo Yuhao’s face was filled with anxiety.

Naturally, he didn't want to see such a thing happen, and was worried that the confrontation between the two powerful men would lead to irreversible consequences.

A strong desire to protect surged in his heart, and he would never let anyone get hurt.

So, he waved his hand decisively, mobilized the power in his body, and summoned a protective shield made of pure ice crystals, covering the entire arena.

The ice crystal shield was like a transparent barrier, instantly isolating the heat wave from outside, which made people feel relieved. At this time, the audience's attention turned from the battle to Huo Yuhao, and they felt a new admiration for his abilities.

But more of them are still confused.

"Is this the man from outside?"

“It’s really strong.”

Most of them had this idea at this moment.

This protective cover not only effectively blocks the threat of heat waves, but is also transparent and does not affect the viewing experience. It is simply a perfect response.

Under the protection of the shield, Kuya and Ma Xiaotao remained highly vigilant, and the atmosphere between them was like a taut string that could be stretched to the limit at any time.

The surrounding environment was breathtakingly quiet, with only the gentle breeze blowing, bringing a sense of uneasiness.

They all knew that the battle had just begun.

But looking at Hancock on the stage, Huo Yuhao decided to let Ma Xiaotao finish the battle quickly.

"Sister Xiaotao, stop playing around and make this a quick fight."

Huo Yuhao's voice was particularly clear in this heavy atmosphere, and his tone revealed a hint of anxiety and determination.

Ma Xiaotao curled her lips, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.

She has always been lively and likes to find fun in battle, but today's battle made her feel a little depressed.

"Yuhao is really something. He promised me that I could have fun today, but he's already pushing me to finish my game right after we started."

She responded in a nonchalant manner, but a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.

But when she turned her head and looked at Kuya who was on high alert, her eyes revealed a hint of seriousness.

"Sorry, Kuya, I might have to finish the fight soon."

Ma Xiaotao lowered her voice, with a hint of apology.

Although neither she nor Kuya enjoyed the battle just now.

But now that Huo Yuhao had said it, she naturally wouldn’t drag it on any longer.

"It might be a little painful next, you have to bear it!"

Ma Xiaotao smiled slightly, trying to ease Kuya's pressure with this relaxed tone.

However, Kuya's gaze remained firm, and he seemed ready for a fight.

"The sixth soul skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower!"

As Ma Xiaotao's voice fell, a hot breath instantly filled the air.

The black soul ring beneath her began to flicker, as if responding to her call, and the surrounding space also distorted.

Above the sky, a flame magic circle slowly unfolded, emitting dazzling light, as if foreshadowing that a grand feast was about to come.

Large flakes of meteors fell, like twinkling stars, breaking the originally tranquil sky.

Each meteor carries a scorching flame, like a phoenix spreading its wings, pouring down, bringing with it the power of destruction.

Kuya's heart couldn't help but tighten, she knew that this was not an ordinary attack, but a performance of Ma Xiaotao's all-out effort.

At this moment, a meteor shower fell like a torrential rain, the bright light cut through the night sky, and the burning breath in the air was as hot as a raging flame, indicating the horror of this move.

Each meteor is like a burning flame, carrying extremely powerful force, as if announcing some irreversible fate.

A strong sense of crisis surged in Kuya's heart. She knew that this move was extraordinary.

Kuya's figure kept flickering under the attack of the flaming meteor shower, like a nimble cheetah, struggling to avoid every falling meteor.

Her heart was beating as fast as thunder, beads of sweat were oozing from her forehead, and her muscles were tense, ready to meet the next challenge at any time.

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and her thoughts surged like the tide. Only one belief supported her - she must not be knocked down!
However, there was always a loophole, and a bright phoenix meteor eventually fell straight towards her, as if it was God's will and she had no way to avoid it.

Kuya's heart sank suddenly, and the world in front of him seemed to stop in an instant.

The meteor was like a phoenix with its wings spread, coming straight at her with immense power. She felt powerless, but it was soon replaced by anger and determination.

“We can’t lose!”

She screamed in her heart.

In an instant, her body was covered in armed color domineering, like a layer of indestructible armor.

Kuya took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and kicked out suddenly, hitting the Phoenix Meteor right in the middle.

With a loud bang, the meteor exploded instantly, with flames spurting out like fireworks, illuminating the entire night sky.

However, under this powerful recoil force, Kuya was also knocked away, his body drew a graceful arc in the air, and finally fell heavily to the ground, raising dust.

"Is Ma Xiaotao so powerful?"

Kuya couldn't help but feel a little shocked. High in the sky before him, Ma Xiaotao was like a phoenix goddess, clad in the glow of fire, with a calm demeanor and a powerful aura.

Her figure shone in the starry sky, as if all the light of the sun was gathered on her.

Kuya's gaze was involuntarily attracted, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of awe and envy in his heart.

At this time, Ma Xiaotao had a faint smile on her face.

"What devil fruit power is this?"

Kuya asked as he stood up with difficulty.

Although it was a little hard for her to accept being defeated so easily.

But defeat is defeat, and Kuya naturally won't make excuses for himself.

But at this moment she was really curious about the power Ma Xiaotao had just used.

Because in her memory, there seems to be no devil fruit that matches this form of power.

Especially since Ma Xiaotao had never even used her domineering power on the battlefield.

"what?"

Ma Xiaotao was so surprised to hear the word "devil fruit" that she didn't react until she remembered that devil fruit is a unique power system in this world.

"This isn't the power of a devil fruit!"

"This is the power of my martial spirit!"

Ma Xiaotao said as she was about to leave the ring.

"Martial soul?"

Although he didn't quite understand what a martial spirit was, Kuya still reminded Ma Xiaotao out of his admiration for the battle just now.

"Although the power of your martial spirit is very peculiar, for a strong person standing at the top, the power of domineering cannot be ignored."

"You can also come to me if you want to learn Haki."

Kuya said, his face full of seriousness.

"Learning Haki?"

"I don't need anyone to teach me anymore." (End of this chapter)
