Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World.

Welcome to the finals!

"The winner of this beast-fighting tournament will receive the grand prize—two hundred million jenny!"

"Next up, please welcome the highly anticipated finalist—Beast King Tiger!"

An underground arena in Youkexin City.

The host, sporting an afro, looked excited and pointed to the left-hand passageway, whereupon a spotlight shone.

Amid the gaze of hundreds of spectators, a tiger's paw, about the size of a millstone, first stepped out, then its entire body was revealed.

The owner of the tiger claw was none other than the Beast King, Ah Hu, a fierce saber-toothed tiger weighing several hundred pounds.

It was covered in colorful fur and had explosive muscles, and its pair of long, sharp fangs were chilling to behold.

"roar!"

The saber-toothed tiger roared fiercely, a roar that made many people turn pale, but they were still excited. In fact, the more afraid they were, the more fascinated they became, and they cheered wildly.

People who come to watch the underground arena are simply drawn by the thrill of wildness, bloodshed, and the release of their natural instincts.

Beast King Ah Hu, a three-time champion of the Youkexin Underground Arena, has never been defeated... They can't wait to see their opponents killed by the Beast King in a cruel and bloody way!

"Next up is another finalist! He's the lucky dark horse of this competition! The little reindeer—Chopper!"

The spotlight shone on the right-hand entrance, illuminating a petite figure. The audience looked over and saw that it was about one meter tall, wearing a hat with a cross on its head, with a pair of antlers extending from both sides, a cute smile on its face, and holding a... cotton candy in its hand.

"Chopper is still eating cotton candy! Isn't he scared at all?!" the host exclaimed in surprise. "That's really something! Not many creatures can remain calm in front of Tiger!"

On one side is a large, bloodthirsty, and ferocious saber-toothed tiger, and on the other side is a small, cute reindeer... Anyone who looks at it at first glance knows which side will win!

Almost no one thought Chopper could win, except... Lynn in the stands.

Lynn crossed his arms, his gaze calm and unperturbed.

Chopper is his card pet, and he knows better than anyone how terrifying this little guy's strength is. In the world of One Piece, he is known as "the one who fights the fiercest battles with the least bounty".

To others, Chopper is a lucky reindeer who always manages to defeat his opponents by chance.

However, this was because Lynn wanted to make a fortune with exaggerated odds, so he had Chopper pretend to be weak to take advantage of the situation. Today is the final, so there is no need to hide anything.

"Wow, there are so many people today," Chopper muttered, licking a marshmallow, and trotted towards the center of the arena.

Let's finish this quickly... Lynn said she'd buy it limited-edition marshmallows tonight~ Chopper subconsciously licked his lips.

In the circular arena, the saber-toothed tiger, the king of beasts, and Chopper, the little reindeer, were only a dozen meters apart. Such a close distance further highlighted the difference in their sizes... like a mountain and a rock.

Some viewers have already started to half-cover their eyes, both afraid of seeing the cute little Chopper get bitten to death and excitedly eager to see that brutal scene.

"The match begins!"

"roar!!"

As soon as the match began, Sabretooth roared impatiently and then charged forward, bringing with it a thick, foul stench, like a giant truck heading straight for Chopper.

Those bloodthirsty, cold beast eyes stared intently at Chopper, while simultaneously opening its massive maw, intending to swallow the latter whole.

Is the battle going to end in the very first encounter?!

Everyone watched this scene with excitement, but the next moment, an unexpected event occurred.

"Don't underestimate me!"

Chopper whispered, then his body rapidly transformed, growing larger and taller, turning into a burly, strong human form. He swung his muscular right arm in a wide arc, striking the same pose as Whitebeard, and the force of his fist slammed into Sabretooth.

boom! !

In an instant, the saber-toothed tiger was sent flying backward.

Its massive body slammed into the stone wall at the edge, blasting a large crater in which it became firmly embedded.

A thunderous roar echoed across the field.

Silence reigned.

Everyone stared in stunned silence, processing their shock.

Beast King Ah Hu... has he been defeated?

Less than three seconds into the match, this fearsome hunter was sent flying by a reindeer many times its size.

After a long pause, the host was the first to react, exclaiming in surprise, "This! The result has exceeded everyone's expectations!"

"Chopper can transform! He defeated Beast King Tiger with just one punch. Was he holding back all along?!"

"The champion of this beast fighting tournament has been decided! It's Chopper! Congratulations to him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud cheer erupted from the audience.

The audience who were just cheering for Saber-toothed Tiger have now become Chopper fans, roaring and celebrating.

All they want is a brutal battle; they don't care who wins or loses!

Of course, not everyone is happy.

Some of those who had placed all their bets on the Beast King with unwavering confidence now sat slumped in their chairs, their faces ashen, as if their spines had been removed.

That's impossible! How could a little reindeer defeat a saber-toothed tiger?!

Chopper's odds in the finals were as high as ten times. Lynn bet seven million Jenny and it turned into seventy million Jenny. He made a fortune just from the betting odds.

Afterwards, Lynn was led by staff to the boss's office to receive the 200 million dollar prize.

In the luxurious office, the boss, Kenny, sat on the sofa, with ten bodyguards in matching suits standing on either side of the room.

There were two open leather suitcases on the coffee table, both filled with nuns!

Kenny, a cigar between his fingers, slowly exhaled a thick puff of smoke, meeting Lynn's gaze with a slight smile: "Congratulations on becoming the champion. It seems you have a lot of experience in raising pets~"

"How about it? Name your price. I'm very interested in your little pet."

Lynn calmly replied, "Chopper is not for sale."

"Oh, I was being presumptuous." Kenny said with a hint of regret, but quickly changed the subject, pointing to the suitcase on the coffee table.

"The grand prize is 200 million jini. I, Kenny, do everything with integrity... but recently I'm short on cash. Here's 100 million for you to take first. Come back at this time in three days, and I'll have the other 100 million ready."

Lynn nodded slightly, he could accept this approach, picked up the two suitcases and turned to leave with Chopper.

As he turned around, he gave Kenny a deep look.

Kenny felt very uncomfortable with that look, as if his innermost thoughts had been read... If nothing unexpected happens, someone will come to find Lynn and take Chopper away in three days.

That was also his boss, the true owner of the underground arena... In reality, he was just a subordinate who helped run it.

The boss is a powerful individual with extraordinary abilities who has been searching for powerful creatures.

But... Lynn's gaze always made him uneasy, so Kenny quickly took another puff of his cigar, silently mocking himself for being paranoid.

He's just an ordinary person with a strange reindeer.
