MTL - One Piece: Wudang Baiye, Deputy Captain of the Straw Hats-Chapter 438

But look at this time the Cross Union is distributing bucky bombs, idle

Also idle, Drake continued:

"This rule seems to be very beneficial to people other than seed players. They can form alliances without restriction and can target us like crazy."

"The best ideal situation is that all the unseeded teams form an alliance and kick us out with a crushing force."

"But have you ever thought about how many people will form an alliance sincerely?"

"Or, how many people do you think will be willing to share the treasure of One Piece with others?"

"the most important point is..."

Derek held out three fingers to Apu and said, "There are three qualifications for each division."

—

"So according to Lafayette, we are the safest?"

The burly Badgers scratched the back of his head, puzzled.

"Ninety-nine percent sure."

Lafayette said gracefully: "Maybe some naive guys will come to us, but most of the time, we just need to stay here."

—

Whether it was Bai Ye, Drake or Lafayette, they all guessed the purpose of the Cross Union.

This is not for the hunting of seeded teams at all, but for those who think they have a chance to participate in the killing wholeheartedly.

Although it is said that the competition areas are randomly assigned by drawing lots, the Cross Union is deliberately balancing the overall strength of each competition area.

And it is guaranteed that each competition area has a strong team with absolute strength.

In the beginning, after those people heard Donald introduce the seed players, most of them would have the idea of ​​[Even if I try my best, I can't win against these guys].

So it is very likely that you will choose to give up the game after a simple try. After all, this is not an arena, and there will be no loss if you quit.

This is obviously not what the Crusaders want to see.

That's why Donald's so-called fair rules came into being.

The Crusaders will give them hope of qualifying.

At least on the surface.

As long as these people form a strong enough alliance, it is very possible to defeat those so-called seed players.

As long as...everyone thinks so.

But as Drake said, is anyone really so naive?

After all, some pirate groups don't even trust their own people, let alone such a temporary team.

What if someone stabbed a knife in the back?

After all, no matter how many treasures Roger has, it cannot withstand the sharing of so many people.

Just put them in their perspective.

After these pirates and adventurers see the hope of qualifying, the first reaction is not to unite and kick out the strong first, but to be wary of competitors with the same strength as themselves.

And the premise of this reaction is the second condition Drake mentioned.

Each division has three qualifying qualifications.

It may be a coincidence, or it may be a deliberate arrangement. Among the three competition areas allocated by the Cross Union, there are one or two participating teams that these people are unwilling to provoke even if they form an alliance.

Division 1 has the trio of Katakuri and Drake.

At first glance, it seems that they are not so difficult to defeat, but don't forget that their backers are the Big Mom Pirates and the Hundred Beasts Pirates.

Although they were humiliated by the Straw Hats before, for these people, they are still an insurmountable mountain.

Nobody would want to mess with them for some treasure, not even Roger's.

What's more, they don't have the confidence to really beat each other.

In the 2nd competition area, there are cadres of the Blackbeard Pirates, as well as the Dongta Adventure Group formed by the legendary little people.

Needless to say the strength of the former, the latter has caused a lot of things to be dreaded before.

Division 3 is the Straw Hat Pirates and the Barto Club, which worships them.

Especially the latter, no one knows if the Straw Hats will attack the Barto Club.

The teams that can gain a foothold in the new world are not fools, and a simple analysis will draw conclusions.

Instead of risking their lives to fight these supermodel guys, it is better to recruit a group of people to solve other competitors.

What they want to compete for is actually the third qualification!

And their opponents are naturally clear at a glance.

If you really want to say it's dangerous, those seeded players who don't have great strength are even more dangerous.

They will become the first clearing targets in the eyes of these people, and the new team after the alliance is fully capable of this.

However, these seeded players can also choose to withdraw after figuring out the situation. As for whether they are willing or not, it is their own business.

—

Just as Bai Ye and the others expected, after receiving the Bucky bombs given by the Cross Union, the strongest group of these people began to continuously recruit teams that were weaker than themselves, and had no intention of joining forces at all.

For them, these

Weak teams are the best cannon fodder and pathfinders, while teams at the same level as you are your competitors.

As for those weak teams, can they form an alliance against them?

Sorry, once a team with a similar idea appears, it will be killed by the strong team.

This is a tacit agreement that does not need to be negotiated.

In a short period of time, the ugliness of human nature is undoubtedly revealed.

The distribution of forces in the three divisions has also changed again.

There were hundreds of teams scattered around the island that were originally countless, but after some integration, there were only a dozen teams left.

"Then I declare!!"

Donald sent the final signal: "The qualification battle begins now!!"

boom! !

Even before Donald's voice fell, a terrifying battle broke out on the three fan-shaped islands.

In Division 1, three reorganized teams rushed to the seeded team, the Evil Saw Pirates.

Five bucky bombs were thrown out in an instant, and amidst the sound of explosions and smoke, the sound of fighting rang out instantly.

But less than a minute after the battle started, most of the Saw Pirates were damaged.

But at this moment, the two integrated teams suddenly launched a surprise attack on the other.

Without warning, amidst the desperate screams of the leader, that team perished before the Evil Saw Pirates.

Ten minutes after the battle started, blood flowed all over the battlefield.

In the end, only one integrated team and the captain of the Saw Pirates remained in the center of the battlefield.

Things like this continued to erupt in the three fan-shaped islands, and some were even more tragic.

When the four integrated teams were fighting, they were suddenly attacked by two seeded teams and all of them were wiped out.

And the two seeded teams left in opposite directions without any communication.

The identities of prey and hunter are changing at any time on this battlefield. Qianqian

The pirate who roared excitedly one second may have his heart ripped out the next.

But no one flinched, because they always believed that they must be the ones who qualified for the qualifying round.

This is the ultimate killing, which has nothing to do with hatred or position.

In the blood splattered all over the sky, it seems to reflect the ugliness of a beast.

—

And this is also within Crocodile's expectations.

"Everyone, are you satisfied with this performance?"

In the hall deep underground on the island, Crocodile looked at the screen on the wall and smiled confidently.

"Hahahaha, it's exactly what you said! Crocodile."

On a small screen on the wall, Morgans, who was hidden in the shadows, laughed loudly: "This is not a delicious appetizer, it is obviously a luxurious dinner!!"

"Extreme Killing is my favorite show to watch. I am very satisfied with this cooperation."

In another screen, the underground world killer Emperor Piecolo showed a bloodthirsty smile, and his eyes under the mask were full of longing, wishing he could play.

"It's really good. You have more taste than that lunatic Doflamingo. This kind of show is perfect for entertaining."

Another voice sounded, and this voice was obviously different from the previous two.

It sounds like the voice of someone who has been in a high position all year round.

Calm with the aura of a superior.

Crocodile responded, "As I assured you, King Harker."

The man called King Huck is indeed a king, and among the countries that joined the world government, the country ruled by Huck can also be ranked first.

"Trash! It didn't even last thirty minutes."

It was the king of another franchise country who was speaking. He watched a team die on the screen, and instead of showing any mercy, he became furious.

He had bet a billion Baileys on them before.

"Hey, bet me No. 58, 1.5 billion Baileys, and hold on for 20 minutes."

As soon as the words fell, the staff of the Cross Trade Union took notes.

And things like this keep happening.

This is the real purpose of Crocodile.

The handicap opened outside was nothing more than a joke, and the real handicap was on the nearly a hundred screens in front of his eyes.

The big shots in the underground world, the kings and nobles of the countries that joined the world government.

The handwriting of these people is what Crocodile takes a fancy to.

As for the extremely cruel fighting battlefield on the island, it is just entertainment in the eyes of these people, just like animals in a zoo.

These contestants will never know that their lives have already been clearly marked.

There is nothing more ironic than this.

...

...

...

In fact, there are more I want to write, but after thinking about it, let's stop here.

This episode may make some people feel uncomfortable, so I apologize here.

Chapter 543 The Nirvana Adventure Group Who Are Not Afraid of Death

While Crocodile is presiding over the [banquet] hidden in the depths, and the audience on the high platform is excitedly admiring the fight on the screen, what are our protagonists doing?

The answer is naturally - make new friends!

"Senior Luffy, Senior Bai Ye, and the seniors of the Straw Hats, hello!!"

A little boy with a little blood on his face was looking at Lu Fei and the others in front of him, and greeted him excitedly.

"My name is Lucas, and I'm the deputy head of the Nirvana Adventure Group, but I'm the strongest person on the ship. I'm glad to meet you all!!"

The boy was full of smiles and satisfied, like a child asking for credit from his parents.
