result……
This morning, the first game of the preliminaries...
Something unexpected happened.
Because of the devil fruit ability of the player Giovanna Giorno, he directly used the weapons of all the 199 contestants within the competition venue who were competing with him on the same stage, as well as the 1342 contestants in the next seven preliminary rounds.
The swords... were almost all taken away, and they were pulled together into the sky and arranged in a sword formation, pouring down like a heavy rain, one round, two rounds... The jaw-dropping rain of swords appeared on the scene, and those who were watching the broadcast
In front of audiences around the world on the big screen.
"Damn it... how could it be..." In the mess on the ground, there was a swordsman who was nailed to the ground by two swords and bleeding, with unwillingness and fear on his face, "I can't hide at all! Why, at my speed,
It shouldn’t be impossible to escape…”
The knives are falling like raindrops. Is it scary?
Not scary.
For those who have the courage to participate in this swordsman competition, it is not scary.
If you have a knife to defend yourself from, there's nothing to fear.
But... what fell from the sky was his own knife.
Faced with the densely packed knives falling like a rainstorm, the swordsmen with bare hands had nothing to do.
not to mention……
These knives seemed to have eyes, stabbing them with extreme precision.
Even if they want to dodge, it will be as if they are stabbing them with the knives themselves... This situation is particularly frightening.
But in fact, with such a large scope and huge number of targets, even with Lynch's knowledge and knowledge, it is impossible to cover everything.
He was able to predict the number of people he would stab, but it was actually only a small number. But a small number was enough.
Will the panic be contagious? The screams all around? The sound of the knife swiping through the air, the sound of blood splattering? And the sound of the knife cutting meat that is familiar to all swordsmen... all make people palpitate.
In a pool of blood, the swordsman who was nailed to the ground looked around. Everything he saw had a similar ending to him, being cut by random blades, or simply pierced and nailed to the ground.
Most people have temporarily lost the ability to move.
Even those with minor injuries? Because of such a terrible and shocking turn of events, their eyes were shocked, with blood dripping from their bodies. Looking at the swords on the ground, recalling the thrilling scene just now, they couldn't recover for a long time...
How could it be? There is such a guy...
More than 1,500 contestants were directly eliminated by him with his own strength. In just a short moment, more than 1,200 were eliminated!
Even just through a screen? People all over the world were shocked to see such a scene.
A huge competition venue? The ground is filled with all kinds of swords. There are more than a thousand people lying down... Even through the screen, you can feel the chilling tension.
Lynch didn't seem to feel the tension at the scene. He clapped his hands calmly and looked at the host of the competition not far away.
"Hey hey hey...it's a bit amazing, this guy!"
In the box, Tezzolo, who had a large gold chain hanging on his hand and gold rings on his hands, looked surprised and pointed at the broadcast screen on the big screen on the wall, "More than a thousand people were injured in one go - this is already incredible.
Most of the contestants are gone, is this really okay?”
Crocodile, who was sitting like a boss with a cigar in his mouth, glanced at him.
Tezzolo's tone was not that of a shocked scene, but a playful and teasing tone.
Catching Crocodile's eyes, Tezzolo smiled... His ability, the golden fruit, with just a little effort, brought him countless gold; he has enough financial resources, so no matter it is
He can recruit the World Economic News and the Seven Warlords; but among these kings of the dark world, their strength is slightly lacking in the face of big pirates like Crocodile.
Don't let the other party feel that you are not confident in your own strength.
Tezzolo relaxed on the sofa, picked up the golden wine glass, and said with a smile: "It messes up the schedule, and there is less news to report. Morgans will also have a headache! Doesn't it matter?"
"..." Crocodile looked away and said lightly, "His nickname is 'Big News'... Is there anything more 'big news' than a scene like this?"
"One hundred ordinary qualifying matches cannot produce such a spectacular scene."
Tezzolo took a sip of the wine, put down the golden wine glass, crossed his legs, put his hands on his hands and smiled: "So, there is no need to punish this... Well, Giovanna Giorno is out, right?"
It's best to carry this unlucky Giorno away as soon as possible!
It would be better to kick him back to his hometown of Xihai!
Crocodile thought so in his heart, but in front of this rich man who appeared out of nowhere, he refused to compromise the majesty of the King Shichibukai.
"It doesn't matter..." Crocodile Shichibukai puffed out a cloud of smoke, "That guy Morgans is definitely not willing to let this guy retire, so there is no need to let him out..."
He looked at the big screen, where countless doctors and nurses rushed into the competition site and were carrying away more than a thousand injured people on the ground... In such a miserable scene, Crocodile showed a cruel smile, "
Cleaning up the useless rubbish will save everyone a lot of trouble, won’t it?”
………………
The chaos at the scene slowly ended and the order was stabilized. There were only about 300 swordsmen left who could participate in the competition.
Although there were many swordsmen among these three hundred people who were injured due to the rain of Giorno's thousands of swords... But at least after asking those swordsmen themselves, they all said that it would not affect the subsequent competition.
The number of people was too small, so the organizers decided to put these 300 people on the big ring together to compete for the final eight at once...
Giovanna Giorno, Kujo Xu Lun, Hawkeye Mihawk, Charlotte Sisters, Rain of the Rain and other powerful swordsmen took the stage one after another... Each stood on the stage.
After a while, Giorno and Xu Lun stood together, the Charlotte sisters stood together, there was a large area of empty space around Mihawk, and a large area of empty space around Yuzhiliu... Some were observing others with their eyes;
Some were indifferent and let go; some held the sword they took back, closed their eyes and concentrated their energy...
The host gave the order, and the audience on the scene and in front of the big screen only saw countless sword lights flashing across the arena...
Bang, bang, bang...
Countless sounds of falling to the ground were heard, and at this moment, there were only a few people standing on the stage, and their respective blades were slowly dripping with blood...
Giorno, Mihawk, Charlotte, Shiliu...who will be left???
…
"You can't do this!"
"In this way, if all these random guys are sent to the same ring to fight, I'm afraid there won't be eight people left!"
The above-mentioned melee did not happen because the referees were having a heated debate about this in the backstage of the competition organizer...
