"My dearest ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Zuan Strongest Martial Arts Tournament. Today I will conduct a selection competition from sixteen to eight to select the top eight in Zaun."

At seven o'clock in the morning the next day, Lemon appeared at the host's seat on time. He had been waiting to enter the venue since six o'clock in the morning. At this time, he explained to the audience who could not wait to watch today's game.

"Now let me announce the list of the top 16 duels for everyone! The first match in the morning will be between the foreign swordsman Mihawk and the Ashura-like swordsman Asura Doji. The second match in the morning will be between our princess, Princess Yamato.

Urti, the woman who claims to know Kaido the best! The third game in the morning will be played by our mysterious strongman Foz Fu against Abaro Pizarro! The fourth game in the morning and the last game in the morning will be played by

Flame Calamity vs. Peggy Wan! This is our entire schedule in the morning. The game lasts for one hour. If there is no winner when the game time comes, the two people will choose the winner by themselves, or they will be eliminated together."

When Lemon said this, he deliberately stopped. He needed to give the audience and the contestants some time to prepare.

"Hehe~ Urti, you have to be merciful when we get to the competition field later!"

Yamato immediately put his arm on Wuerti's shoulders, and looked at Wuerti's side face with some teasing eyes.

"Why are you asking me to confront a devil like you?!"

Wuerti said that he did not want to fight Yamato and was full of reluctance.

"What! Wasn't it decided by drawing lots? Wasn't the contestant decided directly?"

Yixiao sat in the lounge, listening to Lemon's words through the huge LCD TV in the lounge, and said reluctantly.

"Hmph~"

Barrett snorted and said nothing, but his eyes stayed on Yamato's body for a few seconds.

Jhin and Quinn looked at each other, and then turned around quickly. They were half-informed about this duel list. The reason for adjusting the personnel in this way was simple. Kaido wanted his daughter to enter.

The top four...

In other words, Kaido doesn't want Yamato to lose to anyone except Mihawk, Yixiao and Barrett.

"Please give me some advice soon ~ Peggy Wan ~"

Jhin stood in front of Peggy Wan and greeted Peggy Wan very friendly.

"Forehead……"

Peggy Wan looked at Jhin with a livid face. To be honest, if the opponent was Jhin, he thought he really had no chance of winning. The opponent he most wanted to face was Musashi or the swordsman named Shigetsuki Kojiro. If not

If we meet, we can face Foz Fu, Jack, Abarro Pizarro, Asura Doji, Tom and Jinbe. Although the odds are not high, we can give it a try, but the reality is that it is so skinny. Although his ideal

Very plump.

"Please give me some advice!"

Peggy Wan bowed to Jhin.

"Where~ I will try my best to be merciful."

Jhin nodded slightly to Peggy Wan.

"It seems Peggy Wan has hit a minefield!"

Fozzie Fu had a cigarette in his mouth. He looked at Peggy Wan who was going to fight against Jhin. He sympathized with the opponent. There were five people who could not be touched in this match. The first one was the unpredictable Yixiao.

, followed by Barrett, who was also ignorant, and then the swordsman who came from a foreign country like him. Others may not know it, but he clearly knew Mihawk, and now the outside world vaguely appeared.

A voice said, if there is really one strongest swordsman in the world, it must be Joracol Mihawk! Then there is Flame Calamity Jhin, Kaido’s most trusted confidant, then

The terrifying strength really convinced all the warriors of Zuan. Finally, there was the princess of Zuan, Yamato. Although Yamato's strength may be far behind the above people, he knew that Kaido's eyes had been focused on Yamato.

body, so as long as he draws any one of the above five people, he will choose to admit defeat.

"lucky~"

But luckily, the one he drew was Aballo Pizarro, who looked like he had no strength and was dressed like a nouveau riche.

"I'm so lucky!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

At the same time, Abaro Pizarro was sitting in his personal lounge, grinning, just like Fozzie was happy after winning the lottery. Abaro Pizarro

He was also very happy after seeing that his opponent was Fozzie Fu.

"Asura boy?"

Mihawk remembered that the other party was indeed a powerful swordsman.

"The lottery has been drawn!"

When Asura Doji saw that his opponent was Mihawk, he knew that he could not win. Only a fellow swordsman can know how terrifying Mihawk, as a swordsman, is.

"Ah! I even brought my second sword, but the opponent turned out to be that kind of monster!"

Ashura Boy reluctantly pulled out his second sword from the scabbard, that's right! As a man who has received personal education from Oden, Ashura Boy's strongest state is when he uses two swords at the same time.

"We would like to invite the contestants of our first competition in the morning, Mr. Mihawk and Mr. Ashura Doji to enter!"

Lemon looked at his watch, and when it was twenty minutes to eight o'clock, he spoke loudly into the microphone.

At the same time, Mihawk and Asura Doji in the lounge also heard their names.

The two of them stood up from the public room and walked slowly towards the players' tunnel.

"Asura-doji will probably lose, right?!"

Yamato looked at Ashura Boy and Mihawk who were walking away, and narrowed his eyes slightly. After all, Ashura Boy's opponent was her future swordsman, and the swordsman on One Piece's ship would certainly win.

"Pap-ta-ta-ta~"

Mihawk and Ashura Doji walked side by side towards the gate of the contestants' passage at the same pace. The two walked quietly without speaking, maintaining a tacit understanding in silence.

"Contestant Mihawk! Contestant Asura Boy! You have five minutes to prepare. Please relax and show your style! Compete at your best! Do your best so that the great King of Zaun, Kaido, will not be bored!"

The referee waited until Mihawk and Asura Doji entered the ring, then stood in the center of the huge ring and told them.

"Hello, my name is Asura Doji and I am a two-sword swordsman!"

Asura Boy flexed his muscles, then pulled out the two samurai swords at his waist and gave a very brief introduction to Mihawk.

"Joracol Mihawk! The sword he uses is the Black Sword Night! This is the only sword!"

Mihawk pulled out the huge black knife from his back and responded to Asura Doji's introduction.

"Um?!"

Lemon looked at the time on the watch on his wrist and waited anxiously. The time was almost up but His Majesty Kaido still hadn't come.

"Start the game as usual~I'll be there soon."

Just when Lemon didn't know whether to announce the start of the game, Kaido's voice sounded from the headphones on his head.

"Now I announce that the strongest challenge in Zaun, the first match in the morning for the top eight will officially begin!"

After Lemon heard the voice that made him extremely reassuring, he loudly announced the start of the game.

"Be careful!"

Asura Boy whispered to Mihawk to wake him up, and turned into a cherry-pink afterimage, rushing directly towards Mihawk who was standing on the ring holding the black sword Night.

"bump!"

Facing Ashura Boy's slashing attack, Mihawk stood motionless and blocked Ashura Boy's combined attack with two samurai swords with one hand.

"Ding ding ding..."

Countless sparks danced on the samurai swords of the two men, like noble dancers dancing on the fire.

"Compared to those before you! You are indeed good! But..."

Mihawk was quite satisfied with his opponent. At least the opponent in front of him was no longer the kind of guy who could instantly kill him with just one hit. But unfortunately, the opponent was still far from being able to compete with him.

"Forehead……"

With Mihawk exerting slight force, Asura Boy's huge body kept approaching the edge of the ring.

"Shasha... Shasha..."

Asura Boy desperately resisted Mihawk's huge strength, but even though he tried his best, he still couldn't stop himself from approaching the edge of the ring with the rustling sound of his feet rubbing against the ground.

"I want to remind you that if you are kicked off the ring, you will also lose the game~"

Lemon looked at the frightening battle in front of him. He shook his head gently to calm down gradually, and then added the rules of the game.

"That's it!"

After Mihawk pushed Asura Boy to the edge of the ring, he said softly to Ashura Boy, who had blue veins on his head and bloodshot eyes.

Because in the next second Mihawk will push the opponent directly down from here, ending this game that in Mihawk's eyes can only be regarded as an appetizer.

"I will lose! But I won't lose like this! Even if I lose, I will lose with dignity!"

"The Secret of Oden's Two Sword Style! The Ten Fists of Taoyuan!"

The toes of Ashura Boy's feet were firmly on the edge of the ring, and the two knives in his hands were swung rapidly, and two cherry-pink flying slashes were directed at Mihawk who was very close at hand.

"So close!"

Seeing that Mihawk was about to attack him with two flying slashes, he withdrew the black knife in his hand sideways, holding the slashes in place, and the terrifying force and powerful domineering force from the slashes kept pushing his body behind him.

With.
