Outside the tavern is the town center square of Batella Island.
At this time, a large area of open space had been evacuated from the square, and the onlookers gathered around and cheered continuously.
The sky was obscured by the shadow of huge wings. The giant royal albatross transformed by Haldin spiraled down and turned back into a human form when it was about to land. The fourteen contestants on its shoulders also jumped to the stone floor of the square.
"Okay, get it to the arena safely, and then it's up to you."
Haldin twisted his shoulders, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Huh? Mr. Haildin, aren't you the examiner of the third round?" Tezzolo, who had a good chat with Haildin along the way, asked in surprise.
A smile appeared under Haildin's thick beard: "I just sent you to this island of Batteryla. There is another examiner... I wish you good luck."
After saying that, he jumped to a high altitude and transformed into a giant albatross again, flying towards the distant sea.
The fourteen contestants looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
At this time, a slightly hoarse voice sounded from the top of the nearby tavern.
"Good afternoon, fellow contestants."
Everyone looked up and saw a burly fishman sitting on the edge of the roof of the second floor of the tavern, sitting casually. This fishman was wearing a black thunder pattern yukata, wooden geta's, and a thick rope wrapped around his waist.
, his skin is a light mint green seaweed color, his head is full of dark green and black hair tied into a bun, his temples are white, and his eyebrows are in the shape of lightning bolts. He looked around at the contestants below, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth when he spoke: "
I will be the examiner for the third round. If you have no questions, then..."
"The third round of competition begins now!"
The huge central circular square suddenly trembled, and the entire square was lifted up to a height of 5 meters. Then the inner circle held up a round platform with a radius of 10 meters and a height of about 1 meter, forming a complete fighting arena.
Ace, who was lying behind the window of the tavern to watch, let out a "Wow", and the lynx Kodaz lying above him also let out a cute cry of "Grrrrrrrrrr". Deuce leaned next to Ace, and
Skaar sneaked out to find other companions wandering around the town.
The contestants consciously stood on the outer circle of the fighting arena. Tezzolo's eyes were shining and he said excitedly to Mozart next to him: "That is 'Umi Zatou' Goyuki! The top three super strong men under Vicious Chain Viktor.
!I didn’t expect that he would be the examiner for the third round. I wonder if I can get an autograph?”
Not far away, the 'Blind Man' raised his head slightly, half-opened his blind eyes that were all pale, and murmured to himself: "... Such a powerful 'voice', this is Mr. Hao Xue, 'Haizotou'"
Bar?"
In his senses, the entire world was pitch black. But the 'sounds' emitted by each person formed a distorted and fuzzy humanoid shape, and his direction and general movements could be 'seen'.
This is the change brought about by the 'Blind Hero''s life-long development of his own domineering power of knowledge, knowledge and color to a certain extent.
In his opinion, Goyuki's 'voice' is extremely powerful, several times stronger than 'Spider' Spade! Not bothering to hide or cover up, Goyuki just plainly showed his power in front of everyone.
Haoxue exerted force with her feet and jumped from the top floor of the tavern to the outside of the fighting arena.
"No more nonsense, let me explain the rules of this game."
He took out a long pipe from his arms, lit it, took two puffs, and exhaled a cloud of thick smoke. He just said: "This competition is the last round of the hunter qualification trials. The conditions for passing the test are very simple. You only need to [
Win one game and you can pass the level."
As he said that, the video phone bug projected a grouping table on the large wall in the north of the square. The table was not arranged in the normal order of 2 choosing 1 and then going up. Instead, some people had a bye and some needed to fight consecutively. It was divided into Group A and Group A.
Group B, each group has 7 people, marked with their respective numbers.
"In this game, the winner will pass directly without having to fight again, while the loser will be [promoted]. Those who advance to the top of this group will need to duel with those who have reached the top of another group, and the loser will be 'unqualified'." Haoxue.
He blew out a puff of smoke and put on a strange smile on his lips: "Theoretically, only [one person] will fail."
"I have a question." "Mad Hatter" Rick standing aside pointed at the projection screen in the distance and said: "This grouping looks very unfair! Some people have many opportunities, while others only have two opportunities at most. This
How are the groups divided?”
Before Haoxue could speak, the white clouds and blue sky above her head were suddenly occupied by dark clouds. With a sound of thunder, the clouds and mist gathered around Haoxue and turned into a pretty girl with long orange hair, who was none other than the 'Weather Princess' Nami.
Nami put her hands on her hips and looked at Rick: "Let me answer this question. Each round of competition will have its own score and ranking, and based on their personal scores, the jury will finally decide the grouping of the third round.
.”
"I don't understand. Can you explain it in more detail?" Cavendish said.
"The specific scoring method is confidential and cannot be fully disclosed." A voice came from behind everyone. It was the examiner of the first round, 'Devil Sheriff' Lafayette. He didn't know when he appeared outside the fighting arena, holding a black hand on his head.
The top hat said with a fake smile: "The president said that I can give you a brief introduction, so I will mention it. The review criteria are divided into three major categories, physical ability score, mental ability score and impression score."
"The physical fitness score is composed of pure strength, agility, endurance, five senses, and even domineering."
"The mental ability score is composed of adaptability, creativity, personal talent, judgment, and leadership. The development of Devil Fruit is also included in this score."
"The last is the impression score, which is not determined by any of the previous scores. To be more specific, it is the talent score of [Hunter]. Some people are born to be navy or pirates, but no matter how strong they are, they are not suitable for hunters.
Bian. Every action of each contestant from the beginning of the first round will affect his personal impression score. Well, that's it."
Many contestants were lost in thought, probably thinking about the unexpected things they had done during the competition.
"Okay, if there is no doubt, I will tell you the rules of battle."
Haoxue knocked his pipe and said slowly: "The rules of battle are simple and clear. Weapons can be used, fruit abilities can be used, and there are no additional rules. The side that can make the opponent say 'I surrender' will win. If the opponent is killed, he will immediately
After being eliminated, the remaining candidates will automatically pass and this hunter qualification trial will end. Without further ado, the first round..."
