Chapter 251 Golden Lion VS Red Earl, Naval Pre-Battle Mobilization
PS: The previous chapter has been expanded to 6000 words.
………………
As the brother and sister chatted, the bell tolled to signal the start of the battle.
The two drew their swords at the same time and charged at each other simultaneously.
This is a battle that is destined not to be too intense.
Because the brother and sister know each other very well.
Selene knew he was no match for Karin, especially since Karin's next opponent was Kaido.
Kaido had told her that he didn't want to see her take advantage of their sibling bond to make any sacrifices for his battle with Korin.
Therefore, even if Selene wanted to show his strength and growth in front of Garin, he could not go all out.
Similarly, Garin would not be able to use excessive force against Selene on the field.
Therefore, although the brother and sister put on a very exciting battle in the ring.
Amidst the flashing blades and swirling swords, various flying attacks and strikes were launched into the air.
But to Roger and other experts, this was a pure exhibition match.
Of course, for those around the world who lack both strength and insight, this is definitely a feast of battle.
The swordsmanship competition between the brother and sister continued from the morning until the lunch break.
Selene glanced at the sky.
Before the referee announced that time was up, she was the first to concede defeat.
Garin won the victory.
Morgans announced the result loudly.
The two then returned to the island.
Having already satisfied all three of his wives, Kaido held a banquet.
The afternoon after lunch break.
With Morgans' passionate commentary, the third match began.
Whitebeard Edward Newgate VS Navy Rising Star Kuzan.
This battle was also largely predictable.
Kuzan tried to freeze Whitebeard several times at the beginning, but Whitebeard broke through his defenses instantly each time.
After testing Kuzan's current strength, Whitebeard sent him flying with a single punch.
Kuzan took the punch to the chest, flew off the ring, and rolled several times.
With just one blow, he was already severely injured.
However, Whitebeard ultimately did not kill him.
This might be because Whitebeard had a slight fear of the Navy and the World Government, but the bigger reason is probably that Whitebeard thought Kuzan was a decent guy and it would be a pity to kill him, so he deliberately spared him.
After the battle between Kuzan and Whitebeard, the fourth duel will be between Rayleigh and Borsalino.
This is also a match with little suspense.
Rayleigh is currently at his peak, while Borsalino is still in his growth stage.
This gap is even greater than the gap between Kizaru in his prime and Rayleigh in his old age.
Furthermore, Borsalino's participation in this martial arts tournament was not intended to secure a very high ranking.
So, just like Kuzan, after testing Rayleigh's strength a few times, he took the initiative to retreat after Rayleigh unleashed a slash.
Similarly, the fifth battle, Golden Lion vs. Morgan Yardmar, had the same result.
Yarma's Barrier-Barrier Fruit couldn't withstand the attack entangled with Conqueror's Haki. Against Shiki, who was currently at his peak and whose head wasn't stuck in the ship's rudder, he was truly no match.
The sixth battle: Red Earl Barolorick Redfield vs. Sakazuki.
The battle has become somewhat unpredictable.
Because Sakazuki wanted to win, but the Red Earl didn't want to lose.
The two sides fought for a full half hour.
Sakazuki unleashed a variety of magma techniques, but Red Earl's maxed-out Observation Haki dodged them all.
Even though Red Earl is far inferior to masters like Whitebeard and Shiki in terms of offensive destructive power, his suppressive power in this battle is far superior.
With his Observation Haki that can read minds, he might even have the ability to foresee the future. Throughout the entire battle, Sakazuki didn't even manage to touch the hem of Red Earl, let alone injure him.
Thus, after defeating Sakazuki with overwhelming power, the seventh battle began: Charlotte Linlin vs. Monkey D. Garp.
Lingling had a tiny bit of anticipation for this battle.
After all, he's Garp's son, and she wanted to see just how strong Dragon was at his current age.
Then, she could use this as a reference to compare the children after they grew up and see whether Garp's genes were stronger or her and Kaido's genes were stronger.
Unfortunately, Dorrag did not give her that opportunity.
After stepping onto the ring, he immediately surrendered.
Charlotte Linlin felt as if she had punched a cotton ball, and was quite annoyed.
After the seventh battle ended with a swift surrender.
Although it was getting late, there was only one battle left, so we decided to finish it.
Morgans, standing on the podium, enthusiastically introduced the two participating teams.
Dorrag's surrender in the last match had a significant impact, and he needs to get the audience's attention focused on this eighth match.
At his request, Roger and Barrett, the two men for the eighth match, stepped into the ring one after the other.
The two stood 50 meters apart.
Roger smiled at Barrett.
"Aren't you going to surrender?"
Barrett clenched his fist and said firmly, "For me, no matter how strong the enemy, there is only defeat! There is never surrender!!"
Roger gave a thumbs up, "That's got guts!!"
Then the duel bell rang, and the battle officially began.
The battle begins, and Barrett, being the weaker party, takes the initiative to attack.
But Roger calmly and directly slashed out with a divine dodge.
Barrett was hit by the God of Avoidance and flew backward, but did not leave the ring.
At the same time, although he vomited blood, it could only be considered a minor injury at most.
So Barrett launched a second attack.
Roger slashed again, but Barrett dodged it miraculously, sending Barrett flying backwards for the second time.
His injury was more serious this time, but he still refused to give up and continued to launch attacks.
In the third round, Roger finally stopped using his famous sword, Ace.
Then, Roger clenched his fist, and black and red Conqueror's Haki lightning flashed on the surface of his fist.
boom!!!
With a powerful punch, Barrett was slammed into the center of the icy arena.
The 3-kilometer-diameter ice arena shattered on the spot, and at the same time, Barrett completely lost consciousness.
As expected, Roger emerged victorious in the eighth round of the 16-to-8 competition.
"Awooo! ┗|艹皿艹|┛Awooo!!"
Roger's victory was met with cheers from countless viewers around the world, including the pirates on Ore Island.
"As expected, it has to be Golden Roger!!"
"His strength is formidable; even that Barrett couldn't withstand three moves."
"The title of 'World's Number One' in the World Martial Arts Tournament should rightfully belong to Golden Roger!!"
"No! You're wrong! I support Whitebeard!!"
"Then I support the Golden Lion!!"
"I support Kaido! That slash this morning was so cool! So powerful!!"
……
Amidst the rising and falling discussions, this round of the competition came to a complete end.
The next day.
The losers' bracket, from 33rd to 100th place, vying for a spot in the top 100, saw a fierce and chaotic battle today.
Morgans provided enthusiastic commentary throughout, appearing even more engaged than during the main tournament.
Ultimately, under the brutal elimination rules, the losers' bracket of the Brawl finally determined the order of the 67th to 100th place finishers.
Many people are dissatisfied with this ranking, but that's how the rules are. Even if someone wants to protest, the Beast will only reply with this:
"Since you've been eliminated, it proves you only deserve this ranking. Don't give me any excuses about being ambushed. Why weren't those ranked higher than you ambushed and eliminated?"
