When Raymond traveled through time, very little about the plot of the Twelve Sages was revealed in the game. The few known plot characters only had a few words, and Valpo Mamen was the most famous among them.
one.
Valbo Mammon is called the "Golden Pig" by players because of his fleshy body.
This guy always sits slumped on a gold chair inlaid with various gems. His unhealthy white complexion makes his fat body spread out on the chair like a big lump of melted white wax. No one has ever seen it.
He personally walked on the ground, and wherever he went, there were strong, high-level extraordinary slaves carrying this golden throne with him. Others even doubted whether his tiny legs could support his body, which was like a mountain of meat.
...
Even though he was far away, Raymond could see the iconic golden throne beside the deck of the Poseidon battleship, so he recognized the origin of this guy at a glance.
At this moment, Valpo was blowing the wind on the deck, and under the sunlight, his jeweled attire was blinding.
Beside him, some of the scantily clad maids were holding umbrellas to protect themselves from the sun, some were fanning themselves gently with feather fans, and some were holding delicious-looking food and nestled in his arms to feed him.
More than a dozen of them, surrounded by beauty.
This guy vividly demonstrated the luxurious life of a top noble. He didn't even have to do anything himself, he could just lie there and enjoy the bliss of the world.
Raymond and the others discovered each other, and apparently the people on the other side's ship also discovered them.
Valpo was condescending and glanced at the "Yellow Ghost", with a look of disdain like looking at ants, and muttered: "Hey, a little insect has appeared...Captain Bonn, crush them.
.”
At this time, the heavily armored captain of the guard named Bonn beside him naturally saw a few people on the Iron Toad.
He looked at Mr. Enzo's still lazy expression, showing a hint of doubt on his face.
Out of caution, he touched the sensory treasure on his wrist. After a moment, his face suddenly became very solemn.
Seeing this, he quickly walked over and whispered something to the fat man, "Lord Valpo..."
"Oh, it turns out there is a strong person on the ship. I didn't expect that in a place like the West Sea, I would randomly meet a guy who made Captain Bonn feel very powerful..."
After hearing this, Valpo raised his brows lazily, and then showed a little interest.
He slapped his mouth and said: "Forget it, let's not sink them. Let's send them a leaflet."
"yes!"
The captain of the heavy armored guard nodded, turned and waved to a burly slave.
...
On the other hand, on the Golden Ghost.
"Hey, I thought we were going to have a fight..."
Boss Enzo pursed his lips, his face still as relaxed as before.
Although he failed to fight as he wished, it did not affect his disgust for the fat man at all. He muttered: "A hundred years have passed, and these arrogant guys from the Twelve Sage Family have still not changed at all, and they have always made people laugh.
So boring."
Raymond frowned slightly as he stood on the deck. He could sense the auras of many strong men on the huge ship. However, with Enzo and Helen on board, he didn't have much to worry about.
The next moment, the wind howled.
A tall figure jumped off the ship and landed steadily on the deck of the "Golden Ghost".
The sound of "bang" shook the whole ship.
"This guy...is so powerful!"
The man who suddenly jumped on the deck brought a very obvious level of pressure to Raymond, which was no weaker than those high-level elders of the pure hair tribe. It was obvious that the guy in front of him had at least the top level of the Shichibukai level of combat power!
Although Raymond did not feel the hostility of the visitor, he did not let go of his vigilance at all.
Take another closer look,
The person who came had wavy shoulder-length hair, wearing tight flaxen leather pants, with a bare upper body, dark and shiny skin, and well-defined muscles. He looked like a powerful "Spartan".
And there was an explosive collar suddenly wrapped around his neck. He was obviously a slave!
"It's actually this guy..."
Raymond saw the man's appearance clearly and recognized his identity at a glance.
This man is clearly the slave king of the famed world in the game, the pinnacle of the berserker bloodline, and the everlasting undefeated legend of the slave arena, "Beo Gust"!
Moreover, this guy is famous in the game not only because he can fight and be invincible. It is also because he has an epic and awesome father - the legendary former captain of the fifth division of One Piece [Crazy]
King of War】Beowulf!
Beo Guangfeng glanced at Enzo, and then took out a color poster rolled up in his hand. His eyes were numb and could not see any joy or sorrow, and he only said lightly: "The gentleman above hopes that you can participate in this gladiatorial contest."
Contest.”
After saying that, without saying another word, he jumped off the boat. Then he bent his legs and kicked hard, making several loud bangs in the air. He jumped back to the big ship again after several leaps.
"A guy who is not weak in strength."
Enzo raised his eyebrows, looked at the man's back, and sighed: "It's a pity... I became a slave, and most of my ambition was wiped out."
Obliterated?
It’s not forgotten!
Raymond knew very well that all this was a disguise...
There is a very important subplot in the later part of the game, where this boss led hundreds of thousands of slaves in the slave arena to revolt, and then caused an uproar in the Endless Sea!
The phrase "A Berserker will never be a slave" has become a classic line for all Berserker players since that battle. They must roar this before a PVP duel to boost their morale and intimidate their opponents.
"The Twelve Sages obviously rarely show up, so why are they here in the West Sea?"
Raymond was a little confused. He thought he had bumped into some key plot due to the aura of "45% of wild chance plots".
But when I think about it carefully, I find that the West Sea is not the place where the uprising occurred, and the timeline does not match up. Moreover, even if that Beo Guangfeng wants to revolt now, it is impossible for him to be around Valpo.
The Twelve Sages are always surrounded by general-level bodyguards. If they really want to rebel, they will be beaten to death in minutes.
I thought about it for a moment, but to no avail.
Only then did Raymond pick up the scroll that Beo Jianfeng had just left, and when he unfolded it, he saw that it was a leaflet.
The colorful and exquisite posters, with the large characters printed on them clearly read "The 39th World Tour Gladiatorial Competition", the venue of the competition was actually the destination of their trip, the "City of Eternal Night" Eleuthenis!
He was also familiar with the name of the game.
The "World Tour Gladiator Tournament" is the top gladiatorial league in the world of navigation. It is bloody and brutal with a very high fatality rate. Therefore, it is very popular among the upper-class nobles, and the venues are full. Like chasing stars, countless high-ranking nobles will rush around.
All sea areas are here just to watch this kind of bloody competition!
certainly,
What attracted Raymond's attention most was not these things, but the super prizes as rewards for the competition!
The poster reads:
Participate in the competition and you will be rewarded with 100 million quarks.
Two consecutive wins will reward one billion quarks,
Win five games in a row and get a prize of 10 billion quarks.
Win ten games in a row to obtain a legendary weapon (Legend: [Spear of the Brave]),
Winning fifteen games in a row will reward you with an epic magic weapon (illustration: the 18th famous weapon of the Great Cross Sword and the Twenty-Nine Masters An Tsunade [Bu Liu Yu Hun]),
Win twenty games in a row to get the [Three-headed Hell Dog Devil Fruit].
Win thirty games in a row to obtain the entire "Dragon Slaying Sequence" Sequence 9-Sequence 0 finished legendary potion...
Among the above-mentioned small-stage winning streak rewards are the "Amnesty Order of the World Headquarters", "Sea King Class Ship", "Forbidden Curse Magic Scroll", "Extraordinary Advanced Secret Book", "Great Power Magic Cannon", "Treasure map of a lost civilization", various "gold-level magic potions" in the entire sequence...
It's dazzling and has everything you need.
It can be said that this is a "guide to getting rich" full of temptation.
As long as you participate in that game and win thirty games in a row, you can get an astonishing amount of wealth that makes you rich overnight!
"Is this gladiatorial competition so big..."
Raymond's eyes glowed golden as he looked at the famous and surprising reward items in the game.
But he immediately shook his head and pursed his lips, muttering in his mind: "Tsk tsk... [Hell's Three-Headed Dog Devil Fruit] was found so quickly and was even regarded as a prize... It seems that this competition , it will attract many strong people."
certainly,
Raymond also knew that those prizes were just a thought, and he didn't really want to participate in them. This kind of gladiatorial competition is a life and death battle... Only the victor must survive!
Risking his life to fight for prizes is obviously not suitable for a person like him who puts his life first.
"No wonder Valpo came to this sea area. It turns out that this year's World Tour Gladiator Competition was actually held in the city of Eludnis..."
After reading the poster, Raymond also showed a hint of surprise.
Gladiatorial competitions are also a kind of fun that Valpo Mamen, who enjoys all the happiness in the world, finds for himself. He likes to watch people fight to the death to gain pleasure. Because he is the largest sponsor of this competition, the prizes are rich exaggeration.
Lei Meng's peripheral vision fell on the final reward. Although he was itching in his heart, he also sneered: "Win thirty games in a row to get the entire 'Dragon Slaying Sequence' potion? Haha... I guess there is no admiral in the navy. Don’t have any illusions about the level of combat power.”
This kind of competition has been explored by players in the game, and all the shady secrets have been revealed. When the winning streak reaches the later stage, the organizer will send out experts to snipe, and will not let the "wild contestants" win so easily. Super prizes.
For example...the "King of Slaves" Beo Guangfeng just now.
If you want to defeat him, you must at least consider whether you have the fighting power of the Shichibukai!
Obviously, this kind of reward is just painted on a promotional poster for people to see, as an attractive gimmick.
...
Raymond never expected that Enzo, the out-of-touch boss next to him, would actually look at the poster with gusto like himself.
What's more, what he didn't expect was that this big boss seemed to have no interest in just watching the game, and suddenly became interested in participating in the competition.
Enzo: "Hey... it's a very interesting competition. Although the prize is not attractive, it seems that the game can be very comfortable..."
"Sir Enzo, this gladiatorial match is a death match, and once you participate, you must compete in at least five games. The fatality rate is very..."
Before Raymond could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped, his eyes turned, and his expression became very strange.
Eh...that's not right!
To others, this competition is "giving away questions", but to the big boss in front of me, isn't it just "giving away points"?
If they want to firmly prevent him from winning in a row, then the organizer can still condescend to send the third-uncle-level top combat force to participate in this low-level fun gladiatorial competition?
Obviously, impossible!
“If you don’t live to find interesting battles to break through yourself, then what’s the point?”
Enzo obviously didn't care about the winning streak rule.
There was a glimmer of interest in his eyes, and he murmured: "It would be nice if I could have a fight with that guy just now and stretch my muscles..."
After hearing this, Raymond stopped trying to persuade the boss.
Enzo is the ancestor of the second generation of vampires. There must be some people in the world who can surpass him in strength. Those who can kill him one on one... are probably extremely difficult to come across.
"Senior, that guy just now is the son of a division captain of the former Pirate King Delos."
"Yo? Wouldn't that be more interesting..."
Although Raymond didn't understand why this big boss suddenly became interested in participating in gladiatorial competitions, his intuition told him that this matter might not be as simple as it seems.
However, none of this matters anymore, because... if Enzo really wants to participate, wouldn't it mean that he has been pushing and winning all the way?
If he remembered correctly, in the game, this game has official betting organized by the organizer! The betting battle is the biggest profit point of this kind of game, and it is also the most popular exciting part among the aristocratic audiences!
If Mr. Enzo really wants to participate, doesn't it mean that the betting results are all before his eyes? The numbers of the upcoming lottery tickets have been reported to you, and you still don't know how to buy them, then you deserve to be poor.
The more Raymond thought about it, the more excited he became, and asked: "Senior, have you really decided to participate?"
Enzo looked at him like this and asked with a smile: "I want to participate in the competition, but you seem to be looking forward to it more than me?"
How could Raymond dare to hide his little thoughts and said truthfully: "Senior, I am very familiar with the rules of this game... If you want to fight that guy just now, you have to win at least twenty games in a row. Moreover,
You can't keep sweeping, otherwise the organizers will find some crooked ways to prevent you from continuing to participate..."
He quickly told some secrets of the game that he knew from the game.
Of course, the most important thing is that he is afraid that Enzo will push him over as soon as he leaves, and his money-making plan may change.
This said, it really came true!
If it were any other top-level master, he would definitely not play these little tricks with Raymond to make money through gambling, but Enzo, the funny boss, heard the plan and thought it was pretty good, so he agreed immediately.
"Okay! Just as you said."
Hearing this, Raymond was overjoyed.
...
After being satisfied with the service of serving tea and water to Mr. Enzo, Raymond couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and ran to the cab of the Iron Toad.
At this moment, Anna was concentrating on sailing the boat, and was startled by Raymond who suddenly broke in.
At this moment, she saw Raymond staring at her with a scorching gaze that she had never seen before, and she felt inexplicably nervous: "You...what are you doing?"
Raymond was panting slightly because of the excitement, his eyes were red and bloodshot, as if he wanted to eat someone, and blazing ambition burst out in his eyes.
He walked over, held Anna's shoulders with both hands, and asked with a very solemn expression: "Anna, can you promise me something?!"
Anna was clamped by those big hands and couldn't break free. She was suddenly startled, as if she thought of something, her cheeks turned slightly red, "You...what do you want to do?"
Raymond said with burning eyes: "Promise me first!"
There was a sincerity and domineering tone in this tone that no one could refuse.
"What on earth... do you want to do?"
Anna was in a panic when she was stared at by that scorching gaze. She was too shy to look directly, but her heart was full of confusion: Could it be that he had some rude request?
But after thinking about it, she felt that no matter what the request was, she seemed to have nothing to refuse, so she sighed slightly in a compromising manner, "Okay... okay."
Raymond's eyes lit up: "Did you really agree?"
Anna's cheeks were hot, "Yeah."
Hearing this, Raymond's face was full of ecstasy, and he finally said: "Anna, lend me your little treasury, I have come up with a big plan to get rich!"
