Chapter 389 Just Because I Gave One More Look at You in the Crowd
"A narrow defeat! The beautiful female captain, Kujo Jolyne, lost to the Hawkeye Swordsman and was eliminated regrettably..."
"Unexpectedly! Giovanna Giorno defeated the second daughter of the Charlotte family and successfully advanced to the next round of the semi-finals..."
The news of the swordsmanship competition that attracted worldwide attention yesterday was on the front pages of all newspapers early this morning.
People all over the world eat breakfast, either at home or on the street, and after opening the newspaper, the names they see most are Jolyne, Giorno, Mihawk, and Charlotte...
As for Armand and Shilu, they did not receive much attention because their victory was so easy to predict and almost expected by everyone.
The name of JOJO Pirates has been deeply remembered by most people.
Although "JOJO Pirates" did not appear explicitly in the main text of the news, the person who spread the news had a gossipy heart.
Besides, we are not blind. Giorno and Jolyne are not even in disguise. They look exactly like the ones on the wanted poster! Anyone who pays attention to the excitement can find out the identities and deeds of these two people with just a little effort.
"I heard that they were still children when they were first offered a bounty several years ago. The bounty was 100 million Baileys!"
"hiss!"
"A few years ago? How old were they then? Early teens?"
"This is too scary...these two people are only under 20 years old now?!"
“I can’t tell at all…”
"At such a young age, you already have the ability to compete for the title of 'the world's greatest swordsman'..."
"Giovanna Giorno..."
"Kujo Jolyne..."
Spring Island, Summer Island, Autumn Island, Winter Island, big cities, small cities, on the streets, in the houses, people of all kinds, holding similar newspapers, reading similar news, and marveling at the same names.
I thought she was just a female captain, but she could actually fight with Hawkeye, the lone ranger who was considered the best swordsman in the world by many people! She even knocked Hawkeye out of the ring. If he hadn't saved the situation in mid-air, she might have been eliminated! There are not many such fierce female pirates, even in the New World.
There are even fewer female pirates who are this ferocious and at the same time this beautiful and sexy. There are very few of them in the paradise in the first half of the Grand Line, and they are almost extinct in the other four oceans.
Even if you search the four oceans in the east, south, west and north, it is impossible to find such a beautiful and powerful female pirate.
Countless people were already fascinated by such a woman just by looking at the photos and descriptions in the newspapers. Naturally, they were indignant towards her only crew member.
The only crew member! Male!
What is the relationship between these two? Is there any need to explain it? Moreover, the newspaper news also specially included a few pictures of Giorno and Jolyne chatting intimately on the sidelines of the game without paying attention to others... It made countless people feel sad and even lost their appetite for breakfast.
Damn, I'm so envious!
But he didn't dare to be jealous. Because this guy named Giorno was also a tough guy... He was so powerful that he could defeat the daughter of the rumored sea queen with an overwhelming advantage!
The interviews with the audience on the scene in the news made people feel that Giorno could even eliminate Charlotte Mond a hundred times!
The visual shock when watching the duel live is so exaggerated!
Giorno's overwhelming strength was so breathtaking... The reporter said that he was unable to interview Mond who was eliminated.
However, most readers of the newspaper thought that the reporters did not dare to interview... The reporters were not Giorno and did not have the courage to calmly face the daughter of the Sea Emperor.
"It's Giorno..."
"And Jolyne..."
In the morning, in the hotel restaurant, as soon as Lynch and Robin appeared, they caused a burst of discussion around them.
These noises had been there for the past few days, but they seemed to be especially numerous this morning.
"You're the center of attention." Robin pulled out a chair from the dining table and sat down with a smile.
"It's all thanks to you."
Lynch supported his cheek with one hand and played with a recording pointer in his hand. This was the only pointer left from the Self-Defense Force warship a while ago; and the yellowed letter of introduction written by Kulokas.
“Everyone seems to envy me.”
He put the two things away.
Robin's eyes were full of smiles when he heard that. He snapped his fingers and called the waiter.
Lynch ordered breakfast for twenty-five people at once.
Robin ate only a little, then crossed his fingers, rested his chin on the back of his hands, and tilted his head to watch him devour the food, just like he had done all these years.
After they finished their breakfast, they drank tea calmly, looked at the time, and went to the competition venue hand in hand.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
As an after-meal exercise to digest the food, Lynch took Robin and walked in the air, making "click" and "click" sounds of moon steps all the way to the huge arena.
Looking down from the sky, the entire arena was dark inside and out, packed with all kinds of people and noisy.
When Lynch and the other man descended from the sky, the noise reached a new level. Many Den Den Mushi cameras at the scene instantly turned to them, showing their appearance on big screens around the world.
What a show-off... many people think.
These two people are such a perfect match... Many people also think so.
"Haha, the view here is pretty good, everyone is in high spirits." In an empty area on the upper level of the arena, Tesoro, a green-haired sturdy man dressed in gold, sat in the special seat and pointed at Giorno and Jolyne on the sidelines below and said with a smile, "Mr. Crocodile, do you know how they flew over here? I still don't understand..."
Sitting next to him was, of course, Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who was the other name guarantee behind this swordsmanship competition besides the financial guarantee of Tesoro.
It seems to be called Six Styles or something like that… Crocodile bit his cigar. Of course, he was unwilling to show his weakness in front of the vulgar and rotten rich man next to him. He said in a deep voice: "It's just a martial art that can make you fly. It's nothing big."
Tesoro also seemed to not care at all, and laughed heartily: "Haha, you are a natural type who can fly, of course you don't care! But a superhuman type like me is very envious of the flying skills..."
For the sake of so much gold, Crocodile reluctantly tolerated this guy next to him.
The competition is about to begin, and the host enthusiastically introduces the Shichibukai who are present.
"…………" Crocodile glanced at the guy next to him who had completely hidden himself behind the scenes. Amid the loud cheers from the audience, he slightly raised his body, waved to the countless Den Den Mushi cameras that had gathered around him, and quickly sat back.
At this moment, a wave of exclamations rang out from the scene. It turned out that the man with Hawkeye seemed impatient and jumped directly onto the ring. He drew out the huge black knife behind him and swept it, signaling his opponent Armand to come up and fight.
Armand was overjoyed and went on stage.
"What an impatient guy..." Crocodile snorted while biting his cigar, and glanced at the boy who he cared about very much even if he didn't admit it.
Heh, why didn't he chat with his female captain this time? Crocodile narrowed his eyes and looked across the vast crowd in the audience. Hawkeye and Lady Demon (Harmony) were fighting fiercely on the ring, and Giorno, who was standing not far from Shiryu, stood there tall and straight, and his eyes...
He actually turned his head slightly, across the vast crowd of people in the audience, and just happened to meet Crocodile's eyes!
“……?!”
Crocodile saw from afar that Giorno suddenly laughed, and his expression changed instantly. At the same time, a tall man in black armor stood behind him.
『BIB』 had narrow eyes glowing white, and his left arm was covered with blue flame patterns. He punched through Crocodile's body from behind.
Is it still early in the morning?
