The day ended with Carrot's victory as she went to the finals with a large muscular man that was a little shorter than a people like Big Mom and Kaido and others like them with a large body.
He continued to use his huge body to his advantage to deliver large attacks that cover a lot of ground and against faster opponents he was patient as he took many hits until the time came to make a comeback.
His endurance and stamina was far above the other contestants so he was able to hold on and wait for his chance.
One mistake lead to his opponents being captured in his large hands and brought down with a body crushing blow to the ground many times or forced to submit in a bear hug.
He looked like a primitive beastly man with many scars on his tanned and muscular body and his wild looking messy hair and beard.
His appearance and the way he broke his opponents confidence with his high endurance and stamina made many believe that he would be the winner in the finals.
In many peoples eyes, Carrot would soon run out of energy after exhausting herself against him so the odds were in his favour and many bet for him to come out as the winner.
The man also had a large age gap putting him as a man in his forties who was up against a sixteen year old girl so the betting odds had highly went towards him being the final winner and the reward for Carrot winning would be a huge payout for those that chose to bet on her.
Alyssia who could see through his abilities and knew Carrots capabilities, thought otherwise. 'I am going to make a killing on this!'
The next day was the weapons competition where swordsman, spearman and other types of weapon users could show off their skills in a match using wooden and blunt weapons to fight their opponents.
Watching the action everyone within the crowd found it to be quite dull since no real weapons were being used.
Each contestant had three points on their body which needed to be defended, one was on the waist, another on the upper body and the last on the shoulder as they each had a small fragile balloon or ball attached to their body.
Upon having their three points destroyed, they would lose the match and since this was a contest to test everyones weapon mastery over their brute force various rules were put in place to avoid various methods of cheating .
For example, if a person tries to shield their point with their body to take the blow they would be given a warning but if it happens again then they would lose a point.
Most of the weaker contestants chose to use this fault to their advantage but when up against experts of the sword, staff, spear, club or anything else then they would be quickly dealt with.
What would come next was the true bloody show that most were waiting for and that was the mixed martial arts competition.
Weapons were allowed, all styles of combat were allowed, throwing or hidden weapons were allowed, special types of weapons were allowed so long as they were judged to fit within the competitions guidelines, archery was allowed and so were Devil Fruit users so long as it is one to boost offensive power or body strength.
The main restrictions were that weapons had to be checked beforehand for tampering and poison, no crossbows, no gases, no explosives, no guns, no other types of projectiles and no Logia type or disabling type of powers that weaken others.
Having a Logia user participate would flip the competition upside down and so would a strange type of devil fruit user with a poison, gravity or any other type of Paramecia ability like that so most people had to give a detailed explanation of their powers before participating.
Alyssia signed up as a non Devil Fruit user but there would always be those that wish to join just because they found a fruit that could help them win.
However not all abilities will let everyone overcome a strong opponent with ease since the powers vary and some still require a strong body and experience to make full use of the powers.
