Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 156 A Smile (Two Chapters Combined)

In the medical room, Goku, Sanji, and later Nami and Robin gathered around Pupu's bedside, watching the medical staff bandage Pupu's body.

Ten minutes later, the medical staff put the medical tools back into the medical kit and nodded to them.

"It's nothing serious, just some minor injuries. The bones are fine too. You just need to rest for a few days to recover."

"Thank you, doctor," Nami and the others said gratefully.

After seeing the medical staff off, Nami went to Pupu's side and touched him tenderly.

"Does it hurt a lot? Pfft."

Pupu shook her head, even grinning, "Wow!" (It doesn't hurt at all!)

Nami knew it was saying that to keep them from worrying, so she changed the subject and said angrily, "That damn bastard, I really want to chop off his feet! How dare he treat our Pupu like that!"

Robin smiled slightly and said, "The leg he used to step on Puff is broken."

"It's broken?"

Upon hearing this, Nami was stunned.

"How did you know? You..."

Nami suddenly stopped speaking. Looking at the meaningful smile on Robin's face, she seemed to understand something, and clapped her hands, cheering, "Hahaha! Good riddance! This guy deserved his broken leg!"

Lying on the bed, Pupu wasn't particularly happy to hear that the guy who injured it had broken his leg, because it was deep in thought.

My own strength is really too weak, which is why I have ended up in this situation.

If it were as strong as its master, it wouldn't be lying here now.

Thinking of this, it turned its head and looked nervously at Wukong, who was guarding the bedside: "Wow, wow wow?"

(Master, did I embarrass you this time?)

Wukong paused for a moment, then shook his head without thinking: "Of course not!"

He smiled again and affirmed, "Pfft, you did a great job this time!"

Pupu's eyes lit up again: "Wow?" (Really?)

"Of course it's true!"

Sanji and Nami, who had been with Pupu for a while and could now understand some of his simple expressions, said earnestly, "Pupu, you performed much better than me this time. If anyone is embarrassed, it's me."

"Yeah, pfft, you've only been learning from Goku for such a short time, and your performance today was already quite outstanding. If you continue to train, I believe that even a hundred of those guys wouldn't be a match for you!"

Seeing everyone's encouragement and affirmation, Pupu was moved to tears again.

"Wow!" (Thank you everyone! I will definitely become stronger from now on!)

While they were in the medical ward, the final round of elimination matches at the martial arts tournament finally determined the four winners.

As expected, Xia Shan will be the winner of the arena where Pu Pu is.

However, his performance was unremarkable, unlike the previous round contestants Anchor and Gray who impressed the audience.

Apart from the burly man who injured Pupu, Xia Shan's other opponents all appeared to be evenly matched. After a long and fierce battle, he finally knocked his opponent off the stage.

but-

Contrary to the audience's perception, the contestants who faced Xia Shan had a completely different view of him.

"That old guy is terrifying. When I fought him, it felt like I was facing a vast ocean. No matter how much I increased my strength and speed, he could always increase his strength and speed by the same amount. It's truly terrifying!"

"Yes, yes, that's it! His strength is simply unfathomable!"

"Then what is his purpose in doing this? He could defeat us immediately, so why is he dragging his feet with us for so long?"

These contestants gathered together and talked for a long time, but couldn't come to any conclusion.

In the end, the only conclusion reached was that Xia Shan, that old guy, was probably just playing with them.

Time quickly passed and it was afternoon.

At this time, the arena was still packed with people, just like in the morning.

Many spectators sat in their seats, some discussing the morning's matches enthusiastically, some arguing heatedly about who would be this year's champion, and others quietly waiting for the upcoming qualifying rounds.

That's right, after the elimination rounds concluded and sixteen champions were selected, the martial arts tournament moved into the qualifying rounds—

The contestants draw numbers and compete in pairs, with the winners advancing to the next round.

"Hey Robin, do you think that person is blind?"

Nami, who was sitting in her seat and feeling bored, inadvertently saw a scene not far away and pointed at it, saying to Robin.

About thirty meters away from them, in a narrow passageway barely wide enough for one person to pass through, a man wearing a purple kimono and with an X-shaped scar on his forehead was tapping on a cane in front of him, seemingly scouting for a way.

Robin looked over, and after two seconds nodded: "It certainly looks like that."

"That's strange. What's a blind man doing here? He can't see the match. Is he just here to watch the excitement?"

Nami couldn't help but lift her chin in surprise.

That's why she asked Robin to confirm that he was blind.

After all, the presence of a blind person in such a setting would be extremely incongruous.

Out of curiosity, and also to pass the time, she began to observe the blind man.

Then, to my surprise, I found that although the aisle was filthy and messy, with many snack bags left behind by the audience,

Waste paper and other such things were everywhere, but the blind man never stepped on them once, always walking on clean ground.

Even with a cane to help find the way, this is still a bit too precise.

Even when she walks in the aisle, she inevitably steps on some trash.

As she observed, the blind man gradually approached them and soon came right up to them.

"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

The blind man stopped about two meters away from Nami because a spectator had put his leg on the railing, blocking his way.

"Hey! A blind man!"

Blocking the way was a young man dressed in a slick, disreputable manner. He glanced at the blind man and a mocking smile appeared on his face.

"What are you doing here, you blind man? How can you even see the game?"

"I can't see," the blind man shook his head.

"Then what are you doing here? Why don't you go beg on the streets and waste your money coming here to make a fool of yourself?"

The blind man said calmly, "I just wanted to join in the fun. Please excuse me."

The young man rolled his eyes and smiled maliciously: "Blind man, where is your seat?"

"I just asked around, and it should be just ahead." The blind man raised his cane and pointed ahead.

The young man looked in the direction the man pointed and found that there was indeed an empty seat in the center left of their row of seats.

He looked away, a playful smile on his face. "Then you can go somewhere else, blind man. You can't get through here."

O

Since the competition hadn't started yet, he was bored and decided to find something fun to pass the time.

Making the blind man return to his original path and take a long detour was his way of having fun.

The blind man remained silent for a few seconds, but said nothing more. He turned around and prepared to return the way he came.

But just then, a voice called out to him, "Hey you blind man, wait a minute!"

Nami, who had long since lost patience, stormed up to the young man and yelled, "Have you no conscience? Picking on a disabled person like that, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"

The young man was initially flustered by the unexpected intervention of someone who stood up for him, but upon discovering that it was just a frail woman, his tone hardened immediately: "None of your business! I can do whatever I want, it's none of your concern!"

Nami wasn't about to let him get away with it. She raised her big foot and stomped on the young man's chest, pinning him firmly to his seat.

"Now, right now, make way for him, do you understand? I'm telling you, it's only because my partner who's participating in the martial arts tournament isn't here—he's about to have his match—otherwise, believe me, I'd have him throw you out of here!"

Upon seeing Nami's fierce appearance and hearing her mention of her companions who had participated in the martial arts tournament and even advanced, the young man turned pale with fright and hurriedly nodded, "Make way! I'll make way right away!"

Nami withdrew her foot, and the young man quickly pulled his leg back, shrinking it directly into the seat. He hugged his legs weakly and helplessly, not daring to extend even half a centimeter out of the seat.

"Uncle Blind, he has already cleared the way, you can go now."

Nami ignored the young man and looked at the blind man who had stopped in place after she called his name.

The blind man turned around, smiled, and said, "Thank you, young lady."

"It's nothing. I just can't stand people like this bullying you," Nami replied casually, then turned and walked away.

"Your seat is right in front, right? I'll take you there so that no one will give you any trouble."

The blind man did not refuse, but thanked her again, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, young lady."

Soon after, with Nami's help, the blind man successfully sat down in his seat.

"Uncle Blind, my name is Nami. I'm sitting about fifty meters to your left. If you need any help, feel free to call me anytime."

Before leaving, Nami thought for a moment and said this to the blind man.

"Nami? What a beautiful name. I think you must be a beautiful girl, both inside and out."

The blind man smiled slightly.

Nami smiled brightly at his compliment: "Thank you for the compliment, hehe."

"Since you have told me your name, young lady, I cannot be impolite. My name is Yixiao."

Yixiao? What a peculiar name.

Nami thought to herself.

He then said, "I understand, Uncle Yixiao. I'll be going now. Remember to call me if you need anything!"

After she left, Yixiao stopped smiling, her eyelids suddenly opened a crack, and a fleeting glimpse revealed her pale eyeballs.

"I have once again sensed a glimmer of light remaining in this world."

Shortly after Nami returned to her seat, the same host from that morning, dressed in a suit and tuxedo, strode confidently onto the arena stage.

The arena was now completely different from the one in the morning; it was no longer four small arenas, but a large arena about 100 meters long.

The purpose is to give the contestants ample room to showcase their skills and provide the audience with a sufficiently exciting fight.

Good afternoon, everyone!

After greeting the audience and capturing their attention, the host announced with a warm smile, "After this morning's thrilling elimination rounds, we have selected sixteen formidable contestants from among the 160 participants. Now, let's welcome them to the stage!"

boom!!!

The scene instantly erupted in cheers, with the audience shouting enthusiastically and chanting the names of their favorite contestants.

Their names are—!!

As the host began reading out the contestants' names from the cards, the sixteen contestants walked out of the contestant passage in the order they were read.

"An anchor fighter who wields the Monkey King Kong Fist!!"

Anchor raised his thick arms high and stepped into the ring with a haughty expression amidst the cheers of the audience.

"Lewandowski, who has mastered the ancient martial art of the Flying Shadow Eighteen Legs to an unparalleled degree!!"

Lewandowski, hands in his pockets, coolly stepped into the ring.

"The youngest participant in this martial arts tournament, yet possessing exceptionally powerful martial arts skills—Sun Wukong!!"

"Yo-ho! Hello everyone!" Wukong waved to the audience in all directions with a grin, and slowly walked onto the arena with his short legs.

"And Gray, who's wearing a mask, making us extremely curious about what he looks like underneath!!"

Gray, who was last to appear, nodded to the audience and slowly stepped into the ring.

When the sixteen contestants stood in the arena, cheers erupted one after another, and even the clouds in the sky seemed to be shaken apart by the sound waves.

After the audience gradually quieted down, the host smiled and continued, "Before the competition begins, I would like to introduce our distinguished guest for this round of the competition: our great King Nicholas!!"

"And His Majesty's bodyguard, Lord Yamasi!!"

The host pointed to a solitary building standing outside the stands in the very center of the arena, where Nicholas and Marcy appeared.

Nicholas smiled and waved to the cheering crowds in all directions.

"It seems he's very popular with the people," Nami muttered to herself in surprise upon seeing this.

She recalled Cobra saying that the other was a good king, and now it seemed that he was indeed so.

"Fellow citizens, I am delighted that our martial arts tournament, held every five years, is being held again..."

"

Nicholas began his brief speech.

"6

...Finally, I wish all our athletes the best of luck in fully demonstrating their abilities and leaving no regrets!

As he said this, Nicholas scanned the sixteen fighters on the ring one by one.

When his gaze swept over one of the contestants, it lingered for a second longer.

This person is not Wukong.

On the arena, Goku looked up at Nicholas and said with a smile, "Uncle is here too."

A fellow contestant nearby heard his voice and gave him a strange look.

Uncle? Does this kid know His Majesty the King? No, that's not right, he's definitely not His Majesty the King, he must be talking about someone in the audience.

"This qualifying round consists of two rounds. The first round is 16 to 8, and the second round is 8 to 4, which will determine the four players who will enter the final round."

"The first two rules remain unchanged. The third rule states that, aside from falling off the ring, a fighter will be considered to have lost the match if they voluntarily surrender or lose consciousness and fail to wake up within the ten-second countdown!"

After the competition rules were explained, the host waved his hand and roared in a voice that sounded like it was being torn apart: "Now, I declare the first round of the qualifying matches officially open!!"

"The first group of contestants to appear are..."
