Pirate Games

In this big event, a Rear Admiral's death is seemingly insignificant; if not because it involves the five emperors of the pirates and the admiral, her death is not even necessary to be reported.

In addition to the Marine Headquarters, only one other group of pirates can remember her existence.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" A green-haired swordsman stood on the deck, swinging his sword like a madman towards the sea.

Behind him, several other people were a little worried.

"Zoro, is he okay?" Chopper asked worriedly.

"Should, it will be fine, right?" Usopp said.

"He's Zoro! How could he be struck down by such a thing!" Luffy is full of confidence.

Nami sighed, "What a surprise, half a month ago we fought together with someone suddenly gone!"

Next to her, people are crying in sadness, "Oooh, so kind and beautiful Kuina-san, how to die like this?"

Like the last time Kuina took the initiative to let them off the hook, a line of people are still attached to her, at the moment, hearing Sanji's wail, Chopper also followed by crying, "Kuina-san!"

"That guy named Apophis is really bad, wait ..." Usopp was saying with righteous indignation when he suddenly looked at Zoro with horror, "Zoro, your agreement with Kuina wouldn't be to challenge that guy called Apophis right?"

The crowd also reacted and looked at Zoro nervously.

Although they do not know what the newspaper said the Goko mean, the other side quickly killed so powerful Kuina; they can see that the person called Apophis is a powerful and excessive monster!

If Zoro also challenged that kind of monster, it will be beaten to death for sure!

After venting for a while, Zoro finally put away his sword and stood.

"He killed my sensei, Kuina's father, ten years ago, so we all agreed to challenge that man."

Hearing Zoro's narrative, the crowd finally understood why Kuina would make that unwise move.

They want to persuade but do not know where to persuade; after a moment of silence, it is Luffy said with a big grin, "Your enemy is my enemy, Zoro, I will help you fight that bastard!"

"Yes! Zoro!" Although half a beat slower, Usopp, but still trembling voice, said, "I, we will also always stand with you!"

However, Zoro was resolute and refused, "No, this is my business alone."

"Hey, what are you guys talking about? When there are difficult times you can not face together, then what kind of nakama?" Luffy dissatisfied, said.

"Although Luffy is usually out of tune, but he is not wrong this time, nakama is to cry together and laugh together." Nami questioned, "or that you simply do not treat us as nakama."

Robin is silent as if outside the crowd; she is difficult to understand; what drives them to say such things is ignorance? Or maybe it was something?

Zoro said emphatically, "This is my fight!"

Luffy grinned widely, "But Apophis must have a lot of men, you want to fight with him, there must be someone to help you to open the path!"

"Okay, okay, even if you want to challenge that what Apophis can also wait until later, did not you see the newspaper said, he is in the second half of the Grand Line!" Nami came forward to round up and said.

"The second half of the Grand Line?" Luffy, instantly distracted, playing chicken as excited, shouted, "then we continue to move forward, for ten days, five days ... no, three days to enter the second half of the Grand Line!"

"Idiot!" Nami's heart helpless sigh, and then proposed, "I heard that the nearby sea of the Long Ring Long Land seems to be holding a large pirate game competition, do we want to go there for a break?"

"Pirate game? A game specifically for pirates?" Luffy eyes have turned into the shape of stars, "Go, must go!"

"Davy Back Fight? It seems that they do not understand the cruelty of this game." Robin's side is secretly speechless and did not stop; how cruel pirate games are not as dangerous as the topic they just talked about is good to divert attention.

A week later, Marine Headquarters.

"Since this Pirate Game Competition is using Captain John's bracelet as the championship prize, a large number of pirates have been attracted to gather there near the Long Ring Long Land. And if we don't take care of it, it is likely to endanger the safety of the surrounding sea." A Commodore reported with a severe face.

Longinus propped his elbows on the table, hands clasped, and asked in a deep voice, "Has the target entered the hunting range?"

"For the time being, no trace of the Blackbeard Pirates has been found, but it is possible that there are too many pirates gathered in the Long Ring Long Land, and the marines lurking on the island are not able to identify them all."

"So." Longinus pondered for a moment, quickly made a decision, "Not because one Blackbeard and let that sea into a riot, get ready, start to collect the net."

"Yes!"

...

Long Ring Long Land is a circular archipelago ringed by ten small islands, famous on the Grand Line because of the "Davy Back Fight" game that is played from time to time.

It is famous this time purely because of Captain John's bracelet, the legendary sea pirates before death and left behind the treasure. Although thoroughly can not compare with the tremendous secret treasure of the Pirate King, but the average pirate has also been considered reasonably attractive.

Even many mighty pirates also cast their eyes on this sea because of Captain John's other identity.

On the Long Ring Long Land.

"Boss, the situation seems a bit not quite right ah." The gorilla-like Hamburg said with trepidation, "There are more and more pirates on the island, the bounty of 83 million berries for the Bear Vine, the bounty of 76 million berries for the Executioner Saul, the bounty of 92 million berries for the Giant Sword Cross. Yes, and the bounty of 135 million berries for the Magician Hawkins. These are all pirates with a ferocious reputation in the first half of the Grand Line. These are all pirates with a reputation for ferocity in the first half of the Grand Line!"

"The reward of more than 50 million berries sea pirates, there are forty-one on this island!" Face masked Porche also swallowed saliva and said.

"Do not panic, the stronger the pirates who come, after the duel, our Foxy Pirates will also become stronger!" A butthead of the Foxy forcibly not panic said.

Several people are a little speechless; you can absorb these people; the boss is only 24 million berries bounty; you are sure you can suppress them?

But considering the sensitive and fragile heart of their boss, they did not say it explicitly. Still, they only politely said, "If only I had not taken out Captain John's bracelet as the competition reward."

"What can I do?" Foxy glared and said, "I don't know which bastard spread the news that we got the bracelet, if this is not pushed to the duel, we would have been robbed by other pirates!"

A few people looked at each other and could only depressingly follow and curse the bastard who leaked the news.

PS: Thank you for the bounty from the allies of the "Secondary Girl Saigao ", I really do not have a draft now, and I have to catch the morning train home tomorrow, so I can only try to write some words on the train, and try to add more tomorrow .• ᷄⌓ • ᷅).
