One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

Chapter 385 Double Substitute!

Hua Shidoulang did see the scene where Hisoka was beaten.

But the more this happened, the more he wanted to prove that he had surpassed Hisoka.

This unwavering conviction led him to issue the challenge without hesitation.

For Abel, this was undoubtedly a godsend.

If he wants to get ten wins as soon as possible, he can't do it without someone to fight.

As for the strength of this Huashi Doulang, in Abel's opinion, he has some, but not much.

It doesn't mean anything that we've achieved 9 wins in 2 years.

So he told the other party to do whatever they wanted, except that the time was set for tonight, and the venue didn't matter.

Therefore, Hua Shi Dou Lang chose the 'Lakeside Pavilion' arena, which has a relatively smaller ring area.

The so-called "Lakeside Pavilion" arena is actually just a ring in the middle of the water and two paths leading to the ring; the rest is water.

Falling into the water means failure.

This is meaningless to Abel.

After finalizing the match as quickly as possible, the staff at Sky Arena immediately got to work.

First Hisoka, then Hua Shidoulang.

Normally, there should be a few days of publicity beforehand to let more people know about this showdown.

However, because someone was in a hurry, they didn't have much time left to promote it.

Fortunately, fighters like Hisoka and Huashidoulang, who are widely recognized as being closest to the 'Lord's' strength, never lack an audience, and there are even scalpers reselling tickets.

In addition, there's Abel, currently the most popular fighter, making it his 5th consecutive match!

It's all hype.

So, apart from the tight schedule, the publicity work is actually quite easy to do.

At night.

As expected, the stands were packed, and neither scalped tickets nor exorbitantly priced tickets could dampen their enthusiasm.

"Today's match features Hua Shi Dou Lang, who has already secured 9 wins and only needs one more victory to qualify for a challenge against 'Lord'!"

"Oh, oh, oh! Hua Shi Dou Lang!"

"This guy is pretty good too."

"But I remember he lost to Hisoka about two years ago, right?"

Hua Shi Toro is also quite popular, and he received a lot of cheers when he appeared.

However, compared to Abel, who appears next, he is not even in the same league.

"And... the 'Demon King' Abel, who climbed to the 200th floor in record time, showed no mercy to his enemies, and remains undefeated to this day!"

"Devil! Demon! Demon!"

"Abel! Abel! Abel!"

"Go! Take that guy down!"

"Even Hisoka was defeated so badly, what is this Ishidourou compared to him?"

"I bet this guy can't last a minute against the Demon King!"

The entire stadium erupted in frenzied screams.

Clearly, Abel's performance in the previous matches had completely won them over.

Considering that the title of 'Demon King' is ten thousand times stronger than 'God's Finger', Abel acquiesced to it to avoid giving him some strange and bizarre titles later.

"Let's wait and see if Hua Shi Dou Lang will successfully secure his tenth win, or if he will be defeated by Abel and continue his invincible path to becoming the Great Demon King!"

"Game start!!!"

Hua Shidoulang immediately changed his demeanor and took the initiative to attack.

He wasn't unaware that his opponent was also skilled in close combat, but as a martial artist, if he didn't even have that much courage, what was the point of fighting? He might as well go home and farm.

Moreover, he genuinely believed he had a chance of winning, which is why he submitted the challenge and chose this location for the arena.

He wants to engage in a direct offensive battle with the opponent!

It must be admitted that Hua Shi Dou Lang has a good foundation in physical skills. He can control his punches and kicks with ease, and his movements are both steady and ruthless.

Abel wanted to see what this guy was capable of, so he simply used Observation Haki, parrying and dodging at the same time.

He seemed to be handling things with ease and confidence.

It was as if Hua Shidoulang's fierce attacks had no effect at all.

Hua Shidoulang also realized this, so he stopped testing him and showed his true skills.

Faced with the straight punch, Abel dodged it by tilting his head as before, but suddenly his expression hardened and he leaped high into the air.

Just as he jumped, a whip kick swept past him from behind.

"interesting."

Abel gave his opponent a second look. If he hadn't used Observation Haki to cover the entire arena and make his senses completely unobstructed, he might have actually fallen for the attack.

Little did he know the shock Hua Shidoulang was feeling at that moment!

"He actually dodged it?!"

"Did you see through my abilities?"

"No, it's because this guy's reaction speed is too fast, and he also has instincts comparable to a wild beast. He caught my attack at the last moment and then dodged it."

"But I don't believe you can hide forever."

Hua Shidou regained his confidence and chased after him again.

They're just using the same old tricks.

The attack in front of him was just a show for Abel, while the real attack was hidden in an instant.

But now that they had taken precautions, Abel found it much easier to deal with the situation.

As he dodged the attack, he turned around and used his left hand to block the fist that suddenly appeared behind him.

It blocked it again...

That's impossible!

Hua Shidoulang, who had mysteriously circled around to the side of Abel, immediately widened his squinty eyes.

If what happened before could have been a coincidence, and I managed to dodge his attack thanks to intuition and explosive power, then now I've completely seen through his abilities.

"Surprised? Can't understand how I saw through your attack?"

"In fact, when I 'saw' two of you on this stage, I knew that your Nen ability must be a clone."

"The moment you launched your attack on me, you placed your clone in front of me to attract my attention, while your main body took the opportunity to hide in my blind spot and launch the attack together."

"A very interesting attack pattern. If you can't discover this secret, you'll definitely feel very confused."

Hua Shidoulang's expression was solemn. Since Abel had already revealed his abilities, he decided not to hide them anymore.

On the arena, two identical Hua Shi Dou Lang stood side by side.

This is his Nen ability—Double Stand!

"I never expected that the ability I painstakingly mastered over two years would be completely seen through by you after only one use."

"You really are a much more terrifying guy than Hisoka."

"But even if you find out, so what? It's two against one, the advantage is still mine. Can you figure out which one is my real body?!"

The two Huashi Doulang rushed out at the same time, and then kept changing positions to launch a pincer attack on Abel.

As long as the real body isn't attacked, it doesn't matter how many times the clone gets destroyed.

This is also the source of Hua Shidoulang's confidence in challenging Abel.

But then Abel shook his head. "It seems you still don't understand."

Chapter 386 I'm going to take on ten!

Facing Hua Shi Dou Lang's simultaneous attack from his left and right sides, Abel calmly uttered a single sentence.

"I don't need to know which one is your true form, because I just need to destroy both of you at the same time."

In an instant, Abel entered White Walker form, gaining a 300% enhancement in all aspects.

He then punched the left clone to pieces, and then followed up with a spinning elbow strike to Hua Shi Dou Lang's chest.

Bang!

Hua Shidoulang was sent flying backwards, and he began to vomit blood while still in the air.

It then crashed heavily to the ground, narrowly missing the water.

"In the face of absolute power and speed, it makes no difference whether there is one of you or two of you."

"If I wanted, I could choose to fight ten of them right now!"

Wing Chun's Abel, hereby reports!

Hua Shidoulang coughed up blood as he gritted his teeth and got up from the ground.

First, his hard-earned skills were easily cracked, and now he is being ridiculed with words.

Hua Shidoulang could no longer maintain his composure; his mental fortitude was never strong to begin with.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily flustered by Hisoka's few words in the original work, and then his advantageous situation would have been turned around and he would have been defeated.
