Chapter 396: Luck can also determine the outcome—

"I didn't expect both Teacher Zephyr and Kuzan Admiral to be selected." Hina spit out a puff of white smoke. "Adding Nojiko and Sadi-chan, we always feel that we people simply don't have any chance to win the game. Hina is sad."

Smoker shook his head, "Even if we start receiving Rifan's special training now, I am afraid it will be difficult to catch up with them."

"It's not a problem, Smoker-san." Tashigi held the sword in both hands with a firm expression and said. "Even if we don't get the chance to become a formal disciple this time, we will definitely have a chance later."

"Is this really the case?" Smoker shook his head and looked over Zephyr, Aokiji, Jinbei, etc. who have left names on the sea. "I always feel that after a year or a half, we will not have a chance."

On the side, Charlotte Custard and Pudding, who were communicating with Galette, heard Smoker's words, turned around with a smile, and said:

"Hehe, when did our confident White Hunter Smoker become so unconfident?"

"It stands to reason, shouldn't you work hard to say something like this again?"

Hearing this, Smoker spread his hands and said helplessly:

"I'm just telling the facts. I don't have the self-confidence to be arrogant enough to match an existence like Zephyr-sensei."

"Speaking of which, the BIG-MOM Pirate next to you, Custard, is a very powerful pirate."

As he said that, Smoker's eyes couldn't help becoming a little serious.

Although Custard and Pudding followed Rifan's request and announced their withdrawal from the Pirate Group.

But in Smoker's view, it was nothing more than a means by Big Mom.

If Custard and Pudding really want to disconnect from the BIG-MOM Pirates, even if Custard and Pudding can become stronger, Big Mom will definitely not let them quit.

Rifan can naturally see Smoker's guard against Custard and Pudding, but Rifan does not intend to take care of such things.

He believed that after a period of time, the outer disciples could live together peacefully.

"Speaking of the "Budokan" challenge, I haven't told you the specific details yet." Rifan said while looking at the golden list.

"[The Ability List] has been announced, and rewards will be issued next."

"It would be nice to take advantage of this time to tell you how I arranged the challenge."

"After all, the challenge can be put on the agenda after the [Ability List] is officially completed."

"Smoker, although strength is dominant in the competition, luck will also determine the direction of the competition in this challenge."

"There are currently 24 outer disciples, and I will randomly divide them into 12 pairs to compete."

"After the 12 pairs of players are over, they will continue to play in groups without stopping."

"If there is no situation where two players die together, there will be three players in the end."

"At that time, one person will have a bye and wait until the other two have a match before competing with the winner."

"In other words, the person in this bye can get time to rest, while the other two will consume their energy due to the battle."

"Of course, during the game, there may also be a situation where a pair of players lose at the same time, just like Zephyr and Kuzan fighting, and finally knocking out each other."

"All in all, in this challenge, if you are lucky, you may be able to win without fighting, do you understand, Smoker?"

Hearing Rifan's explanation, Smoker nodded.

"It turns out that it is. Indeed, according to your statement, the chance of victory for a strong one is certainly greater."

"But those who are weak may have a chance."

"Perhaps, I can look forward to it for a while."

Aside, Hina and others nodded secretly. Like Smoker, after Rifan said this, they also saw more opportunities to become Rifan's official disciples.

After continuing to explain-some precautions with Smoker and others, Rifan made the outer disciples he recruited from all over the world get acquainted with each other.

As for the rest of the people who lost the election, they were sent back to their places by Rifan.

And after Rifan finished these things, the golden list began to officially issue the rewards of those ranked on [Abilities List].

--[Ability List], 100th to 11th place, will get 1 to 90 [Training Pills]respectively.

[Sabo: It has started to issue rewards. Looking at the situation, the golden list still chooses to issue excellent rewards starting from the 10th place. It is quite saddening. ]

[Fire Fist Ace: It is indeed a pity, if I can be stronger, maybe I can get excellent rewards. ]

[Red-haired Shanks: Among the 11 people tied for 10th place, there are some strong existences. This time, it can only be said that those who tied for 11th were out of luck.]
