Arceus' Pirate Journey

"me...."

"Originally we wanted to use numbers to help you achieve your goal, but now it seems that this is an insult to you. It's our fault. We shouldn't have wanted to interfere in your battle!"

"No! Guys, it's okay. This is a rare opportunity to show off. Come on, everyone! This competition has definitely attracted the attention of the whole world. I can't monopolize such a good opportunity!"

Seeing that the human wave tactics was about to turn into a group fight where he had to go up alone, Bucky suddenly panicked. He quickly stopped these little brothers who were still imagining things, and came up with a legitimate reason to get them to join in.

Moved by the thought, Buggy and his team rushed to the battle preparation area. When Mr. 3, Mochi and the others came back with food, Buggy and his team had disappeared.

"Strange, didn't Buggy say he wanted to watch the fight here and wait for the strong guy to wear down before going on the field? Why is he gone?"

"I don't know. Maybe they ran away. But why are those guys gone?"

"Forget it, just keep watching. Good things will come to those who are lucky. Bucky will be fine."

The few of them assured each other that nothing would happen to Bucky, so they continued watching the game with the food they had bought.

......

At the same time, in the preparation area, the contestants in Zone B also started to prepare.

The smashed sandbags, the fighters sparring with each other, the bounty hunters wiping their weapons, they are all preparing intensively for the next battle.

The fighting in Area A was faster than they had imagined, and made them realize that this would be an extremely fierce battle.

On a bench nearby, Lai Defeld and Paddon, who went by the alias Lai De, sat silently on the bench.

"Boss Lai De, it's so lively here. Let's find a few more companions. It's too boring to sail with just the two of us."

The experience after being released from prison made Laidfield change his mind and start to face his inner self. After walking alone for decades, he also had ideas about his partners for the first time. The fact that he did not directly reject Padon's ideas was enough to illustrate this.

"Don't worry, Padong. It's not easy to find a strong and trustworthy partner. If he is a trustworthy person, it's okay to give him the Tremor-Tremor Fruit."

Both Radfield and Padon are users of special abilities, and they come here to collect the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, so now Radfield doesn't mind giving it to others, but from his words, he has already regarded it as his own.

"My show is about to start. Please wait here. I'll be back soon."

The bullfighting arena has no requirements for the race of the contestants. Although Padon is just a civet cat, or raccoon, he is still qualified to participate, but he was not assigned to the same group as Radfield.

Participation is free and no one can question the identity of the contestants, but some people don't think so. After hearing Laidfield's speech, a tall muscular man wearing only shorts and a cape on his back came here.

"Hey, old man, what are you talking about?"

"I shouldn't know you, right?"

"Of course you don't know him. How can a frail old man like that come to participate in the competition? Stop kidding. The audience wants to see a duel between strong men. They have no interest in a competition to crush an ant."

"Oh? They were really interested in watching the A-district crushing match just now."

"... Stop lecturing me, old man! Get out of here! This is not the place for you!"

As he said this, he punched Radfield in front of him.

"Spartahn! Stop it!"

The people nearby saw his actions and tried to stop him, but it was of no use.

Spadaun himself is a bullfighting arena swordsman who won the fifty-first monthly tournament championship and is one of the star swordsmen in the arena.

Although he is a popular favorite, he has a very domineering and arrogant personality and often bullies other contestants in private.

In his mind, the arena is sacred, and frail-looking old men, little kids, and women should not appear here.

Facing his punch, Laidfield just casually dodged, making his attack completely ineffective.

Seeing that his punch didn't even hit the old man, Spartan seemed to feel that he had lost face. He ignored the rule of not fighting in the audience and continued to attack Radfield.

"stop!"

A beautiful female voice rang out from behind a pillar on the other side, followed by a shield being thrown from a distance.

Although it hit the target, it was useless and was instantly bounced away by Spartan's muscles. However, the female voice also made Spartan temporarily stop his actions.

"Rebecca? Are you going to participate too? There are so many people who can't see themselves clearly.

You didn't dodge today? You usually avoid me when you see me. Do you think I don't dare to make a move today because you're going to play? ! "

Rebecca was one of the players that Sparta bullied on a daily basis. When he saw that Rebecca dared to stand up for others, the anger in his heart burned even more fiercely, and he wanted to take action without considering the consequences.

But at this time, Laidfield moved.

He slowly raised his umbrella and pointed the tip at Spadaun.

"You're right. It's better to stay away from ants."

I didn't come to Defield just now to do nothing, but to read Spadahn's memory and take a general look at this man's past life.

Spartan should thank those who made the changes in Ridfield, who made Ridfield face his own heart and be more humane.

Otherwise, he would regret it terribly at this moment, and he wouldn't even have the chance to regret it.

"What are you talking about, old man!"

Seeing the contemptuous look in Laidfield's eyes, Spartan punched him desperately.

But Laidfield just gently waved the umbrella in his hand, and Spartan's movement stopped abruptly, then he made a big hole on the ground and eventually lost consciousness.

"You are really just an ant. You can't even handle this? You are right. You are an ant who doesn't know the immensity of the world. You better leave."

Ledfield stepped over the fallen Spartan and walked over. The crowd around him suddenly fell silent. No one could see clearly what had happened. In their eyes, Ledfield did nothing and Spartan just fainted on his own.

Even the referee in charge had no reason to eliminate Laidfield, after all, it was the provocateur who fell unconscious.

At this time, Ledfield walked up to Rebecca with a little more interest in his eyes.

"Little girl, such cool clothes will not increase your defense."

Chapter 1187 Blank Memory, the So-called Weakest Partition

The outfit was very cool, with most of her body exposed except for the breastplate and crotch guard. Rather than providing defense, her armor was more about covering up her last bit of privacy. In Ledfield's opinion, this was meaningless.

And she is Rebecca, the granddaughter of the former king of Dressrosa, King Riku, and one of the direct victims of Doflamingo's actions.

Her mother Scarlett died at the hands of Diamante, and her father Cyrus was turned into a toy soldier and forgotten by the world. In order for Rebecca to have the ability to protect herself, Cyrus had no choice but to let her learn how to fight.

But it is obvious that Rebecca is not a natural fighter and has no advantage in strength at all. She can only make up for her weaknesses with skills.

After Doflamingo came to power, Violet served as a cadre in the Don Quixote family because of her abilities. Apart from that, all the other royal family members and their followers could do was to survive and fight in the bullfighting arena as sword fighters for the entertainment of others.

If Wano Country sees this, the Kozuki family and its retainers will understand that the methods used by the Beasts are already extremely gentle. After all, there is no fundamental conflict between the Beasts and the Kozuki family, and the Beasts are not the original royal family of Wano Country, and Kaido himself does not care about that kind of thing.

But Dressrosa is different. Many years ago, before the World Government was established, the royal family of Dressrosa was the Don Quixote clan. It was not until they went to Marijoa as Celestial Dragons that the royal family of Dressrosa became the Riku clan.

In Ming Ge's opinion, he was just taking back what belonged to him, and because of his personality, things turned out like this.

Doflamingo did not aim for persecution like Kurozumi Orochi, but he also did not intend to use any gentle means. If he had not wanted to use Violet's ability, Doflamingo would not have kept the royal family.

People can really die in the arena after Doflamingo comes to power. Rebecca, who has no advantage in strength, also has a personality that does not want to hurt others.

In this situation, she finally chose to fight with her back to the edge of the arena. Her way of fighting was to make the opponent fall out of the arena and lose the qualification to fight.

Even if she was wearing solid armor and was hit, she would still be seriously injured, so she simply discarded all unnecessary protective gear to reduce the burden on her body and maximize her flexibility.

"Padong, do you think I was too withdrawn in the past? I suddenly discovered that there are many interesting people in this world. In addition to disgusting emotions, you can occasionally see a few fools. I have seen surprisingly many of them in the past few days."

"I don't know, Boss Lai De. We have only known each other for more than a year, but you have really changed a lot after the incident in the ancient town."

"Only a little over a year? That's a really long time. So, little girl, do you want to get the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit?"

Radfield's observation Haki is extremely willful. As long as he wants, he can understand the past and thoughts of most people in a very short time.

It is precisely because most people have no secrets in front of him that he has developed an aloof and arrogant personality and it is difficult for him to find a partner who suits his taste.

During the time when Rebecca was shocked by Sparta's inexplicable fall, Laidfield had already taken a rough look at Rebecca's memory and heart, and also knew the reason why she participated in this bullfighting arena.

Get the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and defeat Doflamingo.

Rebecca nodded silently to this question, and then said: "Old man, aren't you the same? You are so old and still longing for that fruit. Speaking of which, Whitebeard is also a very old man. No wonder this fruit is so attractive to the elderly."

"Yes, Newgate is so old and can still do such a thing. There better be more people here who are worthy of my action."

Laidfield relaxed his arms. Now he had to face up to his aging body. Whitebeard, who was of the same generation as him, could bloom his final glory in his twilight years, so there was no reason why he couldn't do the same.

"Your name is... Rebecca, right? I have a question. Who is that stone statue over there?"

"That stone statue? Cyrus, the legendary bullfighting man, won 20 fights without losing a single one and was only injured once. It is said that he was still active in this arena until years ago.

But then he suddenly disappeared. No one had any impression of him, and no one knew anything about him. It was like a made-up legend."

"I see, there is something wrong with this country."

For Laidfield, the past of other people was like a slide in his mind, but in Dressrosa, he failed to load the slide more than once.

Everyone here seemed to have blocked some of their memories, even memories that he could not see, and this was especially true for the sword fighters in the arena.

Anything related to this statue must be memories that cannot be seen. This strange phenomenon aroused some extra interest in Ledfield.

At this time, the manager of the preparation area came over and looked at the unconscious Spartan. He looked around and asked, "What is going on?"

"I don't know. He suddenly fainted. Maybe he was too weak."

"Old man, stop joking. How could Spartahn suddenly faint? Did anyone see who was fighting?"

After asking around privately, the answers were all the same: Spartahn fainted when he was beating someone, and the matter was eventually left unresolved.

After he left, bursts of laughter were heard in the preparation area.

"Hey, Rebecca, you're glad to see this guy in trouble!"

"Yes, he has been bullying you. Unfortunately, he can't continue today."

Amid the mocking voices of the crowd, Rebecca bit her lip and said nothing. This gave Laidfield, who saw Rebecca's memories, some ideas.

“Although you are weak, you are different from the others here. I can barely identify with your heart. So, Rebecca, are you interested in going out to sea with me?

As I get older, it seems like it would be nice to have someone to do odd jobs on the ship, what do you think, Padong?"

"I have no objection, as long as you like it, Boss Lai De."

The solitary Red, the Red Earl, is also a man at the pinnacle of an era. After he faces his own heart, he has absolute confidence in his own abilities.

He wants a partner who is capable and has a heart that he can admire, and he pays more attention to the heart than to strength.

Although Rebecca is weak, she is qualified in this aspect.

"Old man, are you kidding me..."

"No, but I haven't thought it through yet. If you become my crew member, it's not impossible for me to help you defeat Doflamingo."

"You may not know Doflamingo's strength... You'd better not interfere in such matters."

Although Rebecca stopped Spartahn, she did not realize how powerful Laidfield was. She did not know that Laidfield's words were not a joke.

As a pirate who acts on impulse, he could really do such a thing. The reason was... simply because Rebecca's actions made him look at her a few more times and then he became interested.

"You are also from Zone B, so if you are promoted from Zone B, you will be with me. For some things, we should wait and see before making a decision."

As soon as these words were spoken, the laughter in the preparation hall became louder, but Laidfield didn't care at all. Instead, he walked towards the competition venue, leaving Rebecca alone in a daze.

"I never said... I'm a contestant from Zone B..."

......

"Alright everyone! After a long wait, the battle in Area B is ready! Let's see who the players are! Arsonist Damesk, Sorcerer Mami, Army Captain Logan!

Oh, and there is also a rare beautiful swordsman in this arena, the phantom princess Rebecca!"

No matter what titles those people had, they all received cheers when they appeared on stage. Only Rebecca was the only one who was cursed at by the whole audience when she walked onto the stage.

"Go to hell, Rebecca! You must be hacked to death today!"

"Go to hell, you beast from King Riku's clan!"

"You are really unpopular. Even so, you don't hate these guys? Don't you want to kill them all?"

Laidfield became the only one willing to talk to Rebecca. In order to avoid being affected, the other contestants even stayed away from here as soon as they appeared on the stage.

"This... is all Doflamingo's fault. They are all innocent..."

But at this moment, the audience suddenly changed their tone, and a character they loved very much appeared.

"Oh! Here he comes! Together with our king Don Quixote Doflamingo, he saved one of the highest-ranking family officials in this country, the operator of the bullfighting arena, our hero, Mr. Diamante!

To show fairness, Mr. Diamanti will personally participate in the elimination round this time!"

Gaz's voice became hoarse with excitement. Amid cheers, Diamanti took the microphone and walked to the center of the ring like a performance.
