One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 864 Violet VS Sanda Sonya

"Now, you are the queen."

Irina tapped Hancock's shoulder twice with the long sword in her hand and said, and when Hancock stood up, the whole square was filled with thunderous congratulations. Although Hancock's succession was a foregone conclusion, no one expected her to become king so quickly. But no matter what, it was right to cheer. After all, there had not been a proper succession ceremony for a long time. Before this, three consecutive succession ceremonies had not been held. The queen casually threw the token to her successor, and then ran away alone. So the last time such a grand event was held was decades ago. Except for some older people, many people didn't even know about this ceremony.

After Hancock raised the Serpent God Order in her hand, the whole audience began to cheer again, because the part that everyone was most looking forward to was about to begin - the fight!
That's right, as a fighting nation, any ceremony will have a fighting segment. This is a tradition, not a fight to the death. In Amazon Lily, fights to the death are rare. Debate fights to the death are only held when trying criminals. Proving one's innocence through a fight to the death is a rare way.

The competition after the queen's succession ceremony is the most grand one. In addition to the new and old kings, everyone else can participate in the competition. It is a real party for all.

"Who's coming up next?!"

Sandasonia, who has won five games in a row, is holding a sword and looking at the others. Although Sandasonia, who did not eat the Hercules Hotpot, no longer has the physique of a superman, she has received long-term training from the captain of the guard and her strength is not worse than her in the original timeline. Although she has not eaten the devil fruit, the strength of her domineering power is not comparable to that in the original timeline.

"I'll try!"

A figure jumped up from the stage. It was Violet. She had just been eager to try. As the weakest person in the Yamato team, Violet had always wanted to find an opportunity to prove herself, and now was the right time. Sandasonia was not a weak person, but she was not bad either.

"Oh~~Are you a guest? Then come on!"

Sandasonia did not refuse. In a duel, no one would refuse anyone's challenge. If you can't win, it means you are not as skilled as your opponent. The fighting style here is very pure. No matter what method you use, no one will say anything to you if you win.

"I don't need to grab it."

Violet pulled out two revolvers from her waist and threw them to her sister, then took out two daggers, one forehand and one for backhand, and looked at Sandasonia. Sandasonia, who was originally a little bit afraid of Violet, immediately put away all her contempt after seeing the armed color domineering covered on the two daggers. She held the small round shield in front of her with her left hand, placed the long sword on the shield with her right hand, and stared at Violet closely.

"Then! Let's begin!"

The guard captain who was acting as the referee shouted, and the two men moved at the same time. Sandasonia stepped forward. She was taller and had protective gear on her hands, so it was a good choice for her to bully and suppress her. Violet moved sideways. The ring was a circle, and falling off the ring meant losing. So facing the powerful attack of Sandasonia, Violet decided to temporarily avoid the attack and carefully avoided Sandasonia's attacks.

The people in the audience held their breath. They were not amateurs, so they would not laugh at Violet for dodging. If she rushed forward recklessly while holding a dagger against a warrior holding a shield and a sword, she would be ridiculed. After all, bravery and recklessness are not the same thing.

"Jingle bell!"

The two of them dodged, their weapons collided, and then they quickly separated. Violet jumped back twice to create distance. That move just now had made Violet certain that she could not beat Sandasonia in strength, but in terms of speed, she had the advantage, and in terms of dominance, the two were temporarily evenly matched.

"In this case, I must break through that shield as quickly as possible."

Violet thought for a while and said that the shield was now the most difficult thing for Violet to deal with. Her two daggers were not enough to break through the opponent's defense. The leather shield was not big, but her two daggers were not that long either. Even if they pierced through it, they could not attack Sandasonia, so she had to fight.

Having made up her mind, Violet did not retreat but advanced, rushing towards Sandasonia's arms, dancing the two daggers vigorously, obviously intending to engage in close combat. This time, it was Sandasonia who retreated. The opponent was indeed faster than her, and her weapon was longer and had defensive capabilities. If it turned into a close combat, she might not be able to perform, so she had to keep a certain distance.

"Ding ding ding ding..." A series of iron hammering sounds rang out, and the weapons of the two people collided rapidly. Santasonia retreated at a reasonable speed, and although Violet wanted to break through the opponent's defense and engage in a short fight, Santasonia's defense was so impenetrable that she couldn't get through at all. The field directly entered into a strange battle. The battle between the two sides was exciting, but no one could hurt anyone, and the battle came to a stalemate.

"Violet is still not good at close combat, and she didn't use the power of the devil fruit. I don't think she can win this time."

Yamato looked at the two people in a stalemate and said that although Sandasonia had fought five battles before, they were not intense and could only be regarded as warm-ups, so Sandasonia's physical strength was not a disadvantage, and Violet gave up her advantage. She was a top shooter who could hold two guns and shoot twelve bullets into a hole, but in close combat, even with the bonus of the Imperial Eagle Fruit, she was not a strong person, so it was normal that she could not win.

"That may not be the case. Violet's Observation Haki is obviously stronger. If you look carefully, Violet's evasion range is getting smaller and smaller. Sandasonia's attack was seen through."

Robin's opinion on this is different from Yamato's. Sandasonia's Armament Haki is not very strong, at least it is much worse than her Observation Haki. And Sandasonia cannot break through Violet's Armament Haki. It is really unknown who will win or lose between the two.

"Indeed, Violet's speed, agility, and observation Haki are all stronger than Sandasonia's. It's just that Sandasonia's strength and fighting style somewhat restrain Violet. It's hard to say the specific situation, but no matter what, it won't be easy for either of them to win."

Jack commented, nodding.

"That is to say, the two of them will probably fight for a while."

Hiyori yawned, the speed of both of them seemed too slow to her and she felt a little sleepy.

"I'm afraid it won't be over in a short while. If you're sleepy, you can go back and take a nap."

Maria said with a smile, she knew that Hiyori was actually a more impatient person than Yamato, because the Garuda Roc Fruit gave Hiyori super speed, but it also made Hiyori very impatient at times, because she felt that other people were in slow motion, so she would feel bored.

"It's okay, yawn, there's nothing to do when I get back."

Hiyori forced himself to stay awake and started thinking for a while whether he wanted to go up and play, but finally decided not to go up. After all, these people were no match for him and it would be meaningless to go up. Then he leaned against Maria and closed his eyes to rest.

"Sword Dance Snake!"

"Eagle Strike!"

After wasting a lot of time, the two finally decided to decide the outcome with one move. Violet jumped high, and the daggers in her hands stabbed towards Sandasonia like an eagle's claws, while Sandasonia shook the sword in her hand, and attacked Violet like a long snake spitting out its tongue.

"when!"

The attacks of the two collided, and relying on the gravity brought by the attack from the air, they successfully overwhelmed Sandasonia, but they had no strength left and were easily blocked by Sandasonia's shield.
