Chapter 372: Sword Formation! (Third update~)
"You have some plans, don't you?" Robin asked.
Lynch blinked, Robin smiled and let go of his hand.
Lynch followed the crowd onto the stage step by step.
A dense crowd of contestants, from number one to number two hundred, a total of two hundred swordsmen, stepped onto the stage one after another under the gaze of countless pairs of excited eyes.
The swordsmen each held the hilt of the sword at their waist, kept a certain distance from each other, and were wary of each other.
However, there were two hundred people, and although the arena was large enough, there was not much distance between them. There was only about five meters of space between people.
There is no such thing as "restricted" in this world. The signal used by the World Economic News to broadcast Den Den Mushi cannot be intercepted even by the World Government... The technology tree of this world is so strange! What's more, the World Government is not a big government, and it does not have such strong real-time control over the islands scattered across the sea... No matter how bloody the broadcast images are, they are powerless. Not to mention that they may not want to control it.
Of course, although the competition system is bloody, the rules allow you to admit defeat voluntarily.
If you can't hold on on the stage, are afraid of injury or death, you can just jump off the stage and you will be disqualified from the competition.
Although it is embarrassing, at least you can save your life.
Lynch stood calmly in the crowd and looked around.
Many of the swordsmen around him who were about to compete on the same stage were also looking at him warily...
Even many people in the audience couldn't help but look at him.
Charlotte Mond raised the brim of her hat and asked in surprise, "Empty-handed?"
“……”Charlotte Armand continued smoking in silence.
Robin, Mihawk, Shiryu, and the other thousands of swordsmen on the sidelines...all turned their eyes to the tall young man who was the only one without a weapon among the swordsmen on the stage.
Even the broadcast camera noticed him. After the picture on the big screen slowly swept across the 200 participating swordsmen on the ring, it focused on Giovanna Giorno with empty hands.
"No weapons? You didn't bring any weapons on stage?"
The host and commentator whispered a few words to the staff member who ran over, and then shouted to the Den Den Mushi again, "It has been confirmed that contestant Giovanna Giorno did not forget to bring his weapon to the stage by mistake - in other words, he will have to fight with the other 199 swordsmen from all over the world on the stage with his bare hands?
“Will he win? ” “Or will he be hacked to pieces in an instant?”
"Perhaps the other contestants on the stage will soon give the answer! Let us wait and see - now, I declare: the first preliminary round of the Sword Master Competition officially begins!!!"
The host was indeed a professional. With just a few words he stirred up the atmosphere and brought the enthusiasm to a climax again.
Under his stimulation, the contestants on the ring became more serious and nervous. Of course, more of them had dangerous looks on their faces, staring at the only guy with bare hands.
"It's really... so contemptuous!"
"Since you dare to come here empty-handed, then accept your fate."
"Very crazy?"
"court death!"
At the host's command, the 200 swordsmen on the stage immediately took action.
More than half of the people rushed towards Lynch in an instant! More than one shining sharp blade, rolling up an astonishing murderous aura - slashing at Lynch who was standing still from all directions.
Lynch remained calm and nonchalant, ignoring the more than a hundred sharp blades coming at him from all directions.
“Go to hell!”
A tide of swordsmen swung their swords at Lynch.
………………
"What are you going to do?"
In the park of the Sabaody Archipelago, Rayleigh took a sip of wine and halfway through he burst into laughter, choking himself and causing him to cough repeatedly, but he still couldn't help laughing.
"You're really good at this!"
………………
The huge and bustling arena seemed to suddenly become several levels quieter.
On the central stage, more than a hundred swordsmen who rushed towards Giovanna Giorno suddenly stood still!
“This…what’s going on?!”
"My sword..."
"My knife..."
"Why can't I move?!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lynch supported his waist with one hand and held up the air with the other hand, standing calmly on the ring.
The swordsmen around him were all red-faced and holding their swords in their hands... Not only the people who rushed towards Lin Qi, but all the other 199 swordsmen on the ring were horrified to find that they were completely unable to control the swords in their hands, which should have been their most powerful weapons! So many swordsmen on the ring seemed to have been paused collectively, standing stiffly on the field, and they were actually struggling with their swords.
"It's amazing! It's... incredible!"
The host's commentator's voice echoed throughout the arena, "Did Giovanna Giorno do something? Why do the other contestants...seem to be unable to control their weapons? Unbelievable!
"Is this some kind of devil fruit ability? "Contestant Giovanna Giorno - can he control swords! "Or, can he actually...control metal?!!!"
The whole audience was in an uproar!
The crowds gathered in front of the big broadcast screens around the world were also laughing.
The person who participated in the swordsman competition had the ability to control metal. How could others play with him? !
On the big screen, Giovanna Giorno stretched out his hand and raised it slightly.
Swish! The swordsman beside him gritted his teeth and tried his best to pull the knife in his hand, but he couldn't do it.
“Damn it!”
No matter how hateful it was, he could only let it slip from his hands in vain, and flew into the air suddenly under the pull of an indescribable force.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! …
For a moment, exclamations rang out one after another on the huge stage, and the swords in the hands of more than a hundred swordsmen on the stage flew out of their hands!
There were constant exclamations from the audience! Everyone watched as more than 200 long swords and sharp knives rose into the sky. This scene... was unforgettable and extremely spectacular.
………………
“How…how…”
On the ring, many swordsmen fell to the ground in vain, staring blankly at the shocking scene of a huge sword formation swirling in the air more than ten meters above their heads, as if it had life, and muttered, "How could this happen..."
"That's nonsense..."
"You must be kidding..."
Everyone saw that as Giovanna Giorno casually waved his hand, the metal sword formation composed of more than 200 swords hovering above the huge arena moved as if they had life.
