Normally, this is how the game goes.
result……
This morning, the first preliminaries...
Then something unexpected happened.
Because of the Devil Fruit ability of contestant Giovanna Giorno, he directly took away almost all the weapons and swords of the 199 contestants who were competing with him on the same stage within the competition venue, as well as the 1,342 contestants in the next seven preliminaries below the stage, and pulled them together in the sky to form a sword formation, pouring down like a rainstorm, one round, two rounds... The jaw-dropping sword rainstorm was presented to the audience at the scene and in front of the audience from all over the world who were watching the broadcast on the big screen.
“Damn it… How could this be…” Amid the chaos on the ground, a swordsman was nailed to the ground by two swords and was bleeding, with an expression of unwillingness and fear on his face, “I can’t dodge at all! Why, with my speed, I shouldn’t be able to dodge…”
Knives falling like raindrops, is that scary?
Not scary.
It is not scary for those who have the courage to participate in this swordsman competition.
There is nothing to be afraid of if you have a knife to defend yourself.
But...what fell from the sky was his own knife.
Faced with the dense and rain-like falling knives, the unarmed swordsmen were helpless.
not to mention……
These knives seemed to have eyes and stabbed at them with extreme precision.
Even if they wanted to dodge, it would be as if they were actively offering themselves to be stabbed by the knives... This situation was particularly terrifying.
But in fact, with such a large range and huge number of targets, even with Lynch's observation skills, it is impossible to cover everything.
He could predict the number of people he would stab, but this small number was enough.
The fear is contagious. The screams around, the sound of knives breaking through the air, the sound of blood splattering, and the sound of knives cutting meat that is familiar to all swordsmen... all make people's hearts palpitate.
The swordsman, who was nailed to the ground in a pool of blood, looked around. All he saw were people who had similar endings to his, being cut by blades or simply pierced and nailed to the ground.
Most people were temporarily unable to move.
Even those with less severe injuries were horrified by this terrifying and shocking turn of events. With blood dripping from their bodies, they looked at the swords and knives scattered all over the ground, recalling the thrilling scene just now, and could not recover for a long time...
How could there be such a guy...
There were more than 1,500 contestants, and he eliminated more than 1,200 of them by himself in just a short moment!
Even though they were only watching through the screen, people all over the world were shocked.
A huge competition venue, the ground was filled with all kinds of swords, and there were more than a thousand people lying on the ground... Even through the screen, one could feel the solemn and tense feeling.
Lynch didn't seem to feel the tension at the scene. He clapped his hands calmly and looked at the host of the competition not far away.
"Hey, hey, hey... This guy is a bit shocking!"
Inside the box, Tezoro, who was wearing a big gold chain and gold rings on his hands, looked surprised and pointed at the broadcast on the big screen on the wall. "More than a thousand people were injured at once - this is already the vast majority of the contestants. Is this really okay?"
Crocodile, who was sitting in a big boss position and smoking a cigar, glanced at him.
Tezulo's tone was not that of one who was shocked by the scene, but rather one of playfulness and teasing.
When his eyes met Crocodile's, Tesoro smiled... His ability, the Gold-Gold Fruit, could bring him countless gold with just a little effort; he had enough financial resources, so he could hire the World Economic News or the Seven Warlords of the Sea; but these kings of the dark world were slightly insufficient in front of a great pirate like Crocodile.
You must not let the other party feel that you are not confident in your own abilities.
Tezulo relaxed on the sofa, picked up the golden wine glass, and said with a smile: "The schedule has been disrupted. There is not so much news to report. Morgans will also be very troubled! Is this okay?"
"..." Crocodile retracted his gaze and said calmly, "His nickname is 'Big News'... Is there anything more 'big news' than a scene like this? "One hundred ordinary preliminaries cannot bring such a spectacular scene. "
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Tezulo took a sip of wine, put down the golden wine glass, crossed his legs, clapped his hands and smiled: "So, no need to punish this... Um, Giovanna Giorno is out, right?"
It’s better to take this unlucky Giorno away quickly!
It would be better to kick him back to his hometown Xihai!
Crocodile thought so in his heart, but in front of this local tycoon who appeared out of nowhere, he was unwilling to give up the prestige of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"It doesn't matter..." The Shichibukai Crocodile blew out a cloud of smoke, "Morgans will definitely not want to let this guy withdraw from the competition, so there is no need to eliminate him..."
He looked at the big screen, where countless doctors and nurses rushed into the competition site and carried away more than a thousand injured people... Crocodile showed a cruel smile at such a miserable scene, "Clean up the useless garbage, doesn't this save everyone trouble?"
………………
The chaos at the scene slowly ended, and after order was restored, there were only about three hundred swordsmen left who could participate in the competition.
Although there were quite a few swordsmen among these three hundred people who were injured by Giorno's Ten Thousand Swords Rain... but at least after asking those swordsmen themselves, they all said that it would not affect the next game.
There were too few people, so the organizers decided to put these 300 people on the big stage together to compete for the final eight at once...
Giovanna Giorno, Kujo Jolyne, Hawkeye Mihawk, the Charlotte sisters, Rain Shiryu, and a group of powerful swordsmen took the stage one after another... Each of them stood on the stage, Giorno and Jolyne stood together, the Charlotte sisters stood together, Mihawk was left with a large space around him, and Rain Shiryu was left with a large space around him... Some were observing others with their eyes; some were indifferent and focused; some held the swords they had taken back, closed their eyes and concentrated their energy...
At the host's command, the audience at the scene and in front of the big screen only saw countless sword lights flashing on the big stage...
Bang, bang, bang…
Countless sounds of bodies falling to the ground were heard, and at this moment, only a few people were left standing on the ring, and blood was slowly dripping from the blades of their swords...
Giorno, Mihawk, Charlotte, Shiryu...who else will be left? ? ? ……
"You can't do this!"
"If we send all these reckless guys to the same arena to fight, I'm afraid there won't be eight people left!"
The above-mentioned melee did not happen. Because behind the scenes of the competition organizer, the referees were having a heated debate about this...
