As rounds of extra large plates, extra large bowls, and extra large buckets of food were carried onto the ring, each contestant collapsed to the ground, all holding their stomachs in pain and happiness.
There is now only one giant man and one beautiful woman left in the annual Big Eater Competition on Weixi Island.
The beast and the beauty?
I don't know why, but these words popped into Xili's mind.
"Oh oh oh!! All the contestants have fallen, but there are still two contestants alive on the stage, and at this time we have entered the final round..."
"Appeared!"
When Weibull and Bonnie finished the last bowl of food, the host yelled excitedly with his neck thickened.
“For the first time in the history of Weixi Island Food Town Big Eater Competition, there was a draw!”
There has never been a draw, every competition has been decided in the first few rounds, and no one has ever been able to last until the last round to eat up all the food prepared for the competition.
However, at this moment.
There was a loud thud, and the whole earth jumped.
Weibull, who was as big as a hill, was lying on the ground. The host was stunned for a moment, and then became more and more excited.
Because for the first time in history, the champion of the Big Eater Contest is a woman, and she is a beautiful girl!
"Huh? Weibull actually exported?"
"Lost? He just fell asleep."
Sleeping after eating is simply a pig tradition.
However, Seeli didn't say much. Taking advantage of the cheering crowd in the square to focus on Bonnie, he dragged the sleeping Weibull towards the forest.
"Why did that guy leave? Could it be that he planned to go back on his word and refuse to admit his guilt?"
During the competition, Bonnie's attention was half on Weibull and half on the food in front of her.
After the game, Bonnie's attention was focused on Seely.
Because she won, at least she didn't lose.
The moment Weibull fell asleep, Bonnie knew she had succeeded.
But in the end, when the crowd crowded around her and cheered, Xili secretly dragged Weibull away?
"No, we can't let him leave like this!"
Bonnie slipped through the crowd like a fish.
She didn't care about things like the Big Eater Trophy at all. She came to Weixi Island just to have a big meal and defeat Weibull by the way.
Now that both things have been completed, she will join Xili's pirate group.
In the woods behind the gourmet town, Xili left Weibull alone and stood on the edge of the cliff looking at the sea.
"Hey, hey, a guy like you shouldn't keep his word, right?"
Bonnie glared at Seely and mocked.
When Xili heard this, he had no reaction. The method of stimulating generals was something that our ancestors had played with for thousands of years.
"You don't understand me, let alone my purpose in forming the pirate group. Why do you think it would be better to join my force?"
"Maybe it's even worse than you are now!"
"Have you...really thought about it?"
Everything Xili does is aimed at one goal, that is to be the strongest, which will destined to have countless strong men on his path.
The Shichibukai, the navy, the four emperors, and the world government.
Anyone who stands in the way is an enemy!
This is also the reason why Xili didn't just take him under his wing when he saw a plot character. He took the path of being the strongest.
The path to the strongest...neither the enemy nor the allies are weak.
Bonnie was just an accident. Who knew she would compete with that idiot Weibull? Moreover, that idiot Weibull actually went to bed after eating and completely forgot about the competition.
Falling down in the Big Eater Competition means admitting defeat. Who cares whether you are exhausted and fall down, or whether you are full and want to sleep.
Seely asked Weibull to fight her just to make her retreat.
So Bonnie was simply an accident.
But Xili is not a man who breaks his word. The man sticks to his word, even if it is an agreement with the enemy, Xili will abide by it.
"Humph, don't talk about those things that are there or not, I just want to ask you, do what you said count?"
Why does Bonnie care so much?
Worse than now?
Now she is being chased by the hyenas from CP0. If she joins Xili's pirate group, at least she will have someone tall to support her, right?
Those who dare to go against the Navy and the World Government, and have the strength not to be destroyed by the group.
There are only the Yonko of the New World.
There are two difficulties for Bonnie in wanting to join the Four Emperors. One is to go to the new world, which is not difficult. The second difficulty is that the Four Emperors must like her.
Not because of her beauty, but because of her strength.
Before meeting Seely and Weibull, Bonnie felt that her own strength and her fruit ability were still very strong.
After meeting Seeli and Weibull, she knew that even if a warrior like her really took refuge with one of the four emperors, she would only be a handyman.
The situation of Seeli, who was planning to form a pirate group, was different. There were only two people around him, one was Weibull and the other was Reiju.
If she joins now, she will be a veteran-level figure.
Bonnie didn't know about the agreement between Xili and Gaji, and subconsciously thought that Reijiu was a member of Xili's pirate group.
Seeing Bonnie's firm and serious eyes, Seeli couldn't help but tilt her head.
Could it be that my bastard spirit has awakened?
There is no need to use fists to reason anymore. The younger brothers will bow to my bastard spirit and come to my door on their own initiative?
"Can."
Isn’t it just to have an extra mouth?
I can afford to support Mr. Weibull, and he can also afford to support Bonnie...right?
Seely glanced at Bonnie's belly. Sexy hot pants and a white half-sleeved shirt outlined a perfect waist that was not too tight.
Where did so much food go? Xili has been thinking about this problem since just now.
"You're using life to return it, right?"
Although it was a question, Xili's tone was affirmative.
Apart from the return of life, he couldn't think of a second possibility. It might be related to Bonnie's Devil Fruit, but her Devil Fruit should be related to time and age.
Otherwise, the Tianlong people should not want to get her so much.
Life Gui can freely control the body, hair, and internal organs. As long as consciousness is poured into it, it can be freely controlled anywhere.
If Bonnie masters the return of life, she can sneak her consciousness into the stomach, promote gastric juice secretion and intestinal digestion, quickly decompose and absorb food, and store energy.
It has the same effect as the sponge body that comes with Xili.
The difference is that Xili is a natural passive skill, while Bonnie is an acquired active skill.
In fact, Weibull is also a big loser. In addition to his huge size, it also has something to do with his physique.
Although Weibull is not as good as Xili's spongy body, his digestive system is also very powerful and can quickly break down and absorb food energy and convert it into physical strength.
Maybe Bonnie's physique also has this aspect.
"You actually know that life returns."
Bonnie was a little surprised, but she was relieved in an instant. How could a strong man like Xili not know about the return of life?
"It is indeed the return of life."
Bonnie replied.
And her physique is also of a type that is easy to absorb. Although she cannot store energy for a long time like Xili's sponge body, it is not as easy for ordinary people to absorb food energy.
To put it more vividly, it's like Luffy, who was eating like a ball, lost weight all of a sudden. This is actually an application of returning life.
Digest and absorb food as quickly as possible and convert it into physical strength.
"I want to learn!"
Xi Li suddenly thought, isn't this technique tailor-made for him?
