[Chapter Heading Serial·Stop the Acacia Serial No. 9·"Departure, Brujoa Kingdom"]
[The wandering painter George and the second-rate hypnotist Tilda spent all their savings to buy a small boat and prepared to sail across the ocean... They hugged each other on the bow of the deck and read the newspapers in their hands over and over with tears in their eyes.
...In addition to several pages of huge reports about the so-called swordsman competition on the resort island, various news about Giorno, Hawkeye, Mrs. Ghost, Shiliu of the Rain and so on, in the layout
There is a missing person notice in the small corner, with text and photos, an address, and a sultry rose mark at the end of the text... The innocent little girl standing on the deck of a certain ship in the photo is exactly
Their long-lost daughter Marianne...]
----------------------------------
"We must not let that guy go like this!"
The sky is sunny and the weather on the resort island is pleasant at noon - this is nonsense. In fact, the climate on the resort island is pleasant all year round, otherwise how could it qualify as a resort island?
And a group of dozens of people were gathering together, exchanging glances, and you could see the anger in each other's eyes.
Anger towards that Giovanna Giorno.
This group of frustrated people, who had been cleared away like trash in the most humiliating way, gathered in a bar near the arena with swords in their hands. There was only one thing on their minds, and that was revenge.
.
"He just relies on the ability of the Devil Fruit to control metal."
"Despicable guy, nothing special."
"I hate it so much! I want to chop him into hundreds of pieces..."
More than a thousand people were eliminated by Lynch in one go.
Among them, some people were so frightened by the scene of thousands of swords raining down that they no longer had the courage to hold a sword.
And some people realize the gap in strength...
But there are also dozens of people like here - maybe there are other groups gathered in other places on the island - who are not frightened by that scene. Instead, they are aroused with raging anger and unwillingness.
, angry that Giorno used such non-swordsman methods to win, and unwilling to let this journey of swordsman end like this, they gathered together and vowed to take revenge on Giorno and his female captain.
.
Bah! It’s just a female lover!
The doggy couple were so disgusted at the competition that they made me angry just looking at them!
"Look at these."
A swordsman took a big gulp of wine, smashed his glass on the table, and picked up a large package from the ground at his feet.
Spread it out in front of everyone, and everyone can see what's inside.
It's a long stick, a rough sword, an axe, a hammer...
The strong swordsman's face turned red and he sneered: "Can't he control metal? As long as we don't have any metal on our bodies that he can control, that'll be fine!"
The weapons in the package were weapons he had purchased temporarily on the island by mobilizing connections and spending large sums of money.
A weapon specially designed to deal with Giorno!
All made of diamond!
In terms of hardness, it is even better than ordinary metal swords!
"Good stuff!"
The eyes of the swordsmen who gathered together were shining, and they picked up the rough diamond weapons in the package one after another. Only a few swords in it were polished and sharp like real swords, and most of them were more like unedged swords?
Or simply diamond mallets? Axes, hammers...
There is no diamond marketing in this world? Although it is not worthless? But compared to Lynch's previous life, the diamonds here are much cheaper? They are cheaper than most gemstones, let alone compared to gold.
And diamond as a raw material is even cheaper. The processing fee spent by this swordsman to buy these weapons is many times higher than the material cost of diamond.
"Great, with these diamond weapons, we must teach that hateful guy a lesson!"
"It's just the 200 million kid in the paradise who has mastered that troublesome ability..."
Dozens of swordsmen clinking glasses who are unwilling to be eliminated and lost to everyone? Which of them is not making trouble on the sea? Famous swordsmen with a far-reaching reputation? Many of them came from the New World, and passed through Mary with a clean fortune.
Joya, as a pirate, is the fish-man island that is the home of Whitebeard who has gone through ten thousand meters of the sea... How can he be willing to be eliminated by an inexplicable kid who only appeared a few years ago after going through so many storms?
?
And still in such a way that makes people angry!
"Let's go! Kill him while he's on his way to the arena in the afternoon!"
"And that woman! Kill her together!"
A group of dozens of people left the bar angrily.
The other guests in the bar looked at each other: "………………"
"They're just yelling like that?"
"What if?"
"Are you going to remind that Giorno?"
There are different opinions in the bar? Discussions started.
"Stop talking, that guy is a pirate anyway? Who would risk revenge by those desperadoes to help two pirates?"
"Who dares Giorno to do something like that? He must have the consciousness to bear the consequences. He deserves to be killed by those people!"
"Right? You see the bar owner? It's like he didn't hear anything..."
The boss who was mixing drinks at the bar didn't look up? "I really didn't hear this guest."
Everyone in the bar burst into laughter.
On the other side, dozens of people holding diamond weapons dispersed and crowded around the arena where the swordsman competition was held, quietly waiting for the appearance of Giorno and Xu Lun.
Time passes little by little, the sun passes overhead, and afternoon approaches...
More and more spectators came into groups, passing through every street, heading towards the arena.
The eliminated swordsmen hid in the darkness on the street corners, their sharp eyes distinguishing everyone passing by on the street.
There were four preliminaries in the afternoon, with more than forty people in each, and a total of more than a hundred swordsmen participating... In the crowd, the eliminated swordsmen watched those swordsmen walking towards the arena in the crowd of spectators.
"We are not weaker than these people! It's just bad luck that we were injured by the falling blade!"
The swordsmen in the shadows were filled with hatred.
Wearing a military cap and military uniform, chewing a cigar, and carrying a demon sword, Yuzhi Xiliu walked among the crowd, and the crowd automatically moved away, leaving a void.
He had already won the fourth preliminary round in the morning and successfully advanced. He came in the afternoon just to watch another Charlotte woman and the Hawkeye Mihawk compete.
On another street, Charlotte Armand, who had already won the morning match, accompanied her sister Mond to the arena.
In the Charlotte family, except for my mother, most of the others are brothers and sisters who love each other and have a strong affection for each other.
This is not only due to the education they have received all year round, but also because their mother would go berserk and crazy from time to time. If they had not united, this big family might have been destroyed by their mother long ago.
After so many years, the children of the Charlotte family have long been accustomed to the rule of "family is more important than everything else"... Unless absolutely necessary, even Mrs. Ghost (Harmony) will appear very humane in front of her brothers and sisters.
"Losing to these people... will make this trip worthwhile!"
"That's how it should be..."
The eliminated swordsmen who are watching in the dark are bleeding in their hearts. If they lose to Mrs. Ghost (Harmony) in the ring, lose to Shiru of Rain, lose to the man with Hawkeye... at any rate, they will be convinced and defeated.
name!
But being eliminated by that Giorno in that way, not even his name was left!
No one will remember that they came to this swordsman tournament.
And such elimination will be a permanent scar in their hearts.
Mihawk was wearing feather feathers, a windbreaker, bare chest, arms folded, carrying a huge black knife, and walking on the street to the arena in leather boots.
He wasn't interested in the rats lurking on both sides of the street.
"…………"
The eliminated swordsmen who were hiding in the main streets around the arena waited for a long time until the streets became empty and most people had entered the arena. They could even hear the huge noise in the arena.
The game has started, but they still haven't seen Giorno and Xu Lun...
