388 Just because I saw you one more time in the crowd
"What a shame! The beautiful female captain Kujo. Xu Lun lost to Hawkeye's lone swordsman and was unfortunately eliminated..."
"Unexpected! Giovanna Giorno defeated the second daughter of the Charlotte family and successfully advanced to the next round of semi-finals..."
The news about the swordsman competition, which attracted worldwide attention yesterday, appeared on the front pages of all newspapers early this morning.
People all over the world are eating breakfast, either at home or on the street. After opening the newspaper, the most common thing they see is the names Xu Lun, Giorno, Mihawk, and Charlotte...
As for Armand and Shiliu, because there was no suspense about winning and it was almost everyone’s expectation, they did not receive much attention.
The name JOJO Pirates has been deeply remembered by most people.
Although "JoJo Pirates" did not appear clearly in the text of the news, the people who spread the news had a gossip heart.
Besides, no one is blind, Giorno and Xu Lun don’t even have any disguises, they look exactly like the ones on the reward order!
Those who pay attention to the excitement can find out the identity and deeds of these two people with a little effort.
"I heard that they were still children when they were first offered a reward several years ago. The reward was 100 million beli!"
"hiss!"
"A few years ago? How old were they then? Early teens?"
"This is too scary...these two people are still less than twenty years old?!"
"I can't tell at all..."
"At such a young age, he has the strength to compete for the title of 'The Greatest Swordsman in the World'..."
"Giobana Giorno..."
"Kong Tiao. Xu Lun..."
Spring Island, Summer Island, Qiu Island, Winter Island, big cities, small cities, on the streets and in the houses, all kinds of people are holding similar newspapers, reading similar news, and marveling at the same names.
.
I thought she was just a female captain, but she turned out to be a capable lone ranger who could compete with that eagle-eyed man in the ring as the "greatest swordsman in the world" in many people's eyes.
Yes! And she once knocked Hawkeye out of the ring head-on. If he hadn't turned the tide in mid-air, he might have been eliminated by her!
There are not many such ferocious female pirates even in the new world.
There are even fewer such ferocious and beautiful and sexy female pirates. There are very few paradises in the first half of the Grand Line. If placed in the other four oceans, they are almost extinct.
Searching through the four oceans of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, it is impossible to find such a beautiful and powerful female pirate.
Countless people have fallen in love with this woman just by reading the photos and descriptions in the newspapers. Naturally, what follows is the indignation towards her only crew member.
The only crew member! Male!
What is the relationship between these two? Does it even need to be said? What’s more, the newspaper news also specially included a few pictures of Giorno and Xu Lun chatting intimately on the sidelines of the game... which has touched the hearts of countless people.
It's so sour that even breakfast doesn't taste good anymore.
Damn, I’m so envious!
But I don’t dare to be jealous. Because this guy named Giorno is also a ruthless character... He is so powerful that he can defeat the rumored daughter of the Empress of the Sea with an overwhelming advantage!
The interviews with the audience in the news made people feel that one Giorno could even eliminate Charlotte Mond a hundred times!
The visual shock when watching the duel live is so exaggerated!
Giorno's crushing strength is so suffocating... The reporter said that he was not able to interview Mond who was eliminated.
However, most of the readers who read the newspaper felt that they were reporters and did not dare to interview... The reporters were not Giorno, and they did not have the courage to calmly face the daughter of the Emperor of the Sea.
"It's Giorno..."
"And Xu Lun..."
In the morning, as soon as Lynch and Robin appeared in the hotel restaurant, there was a burst of discussion around them.
These sounds have been happening a few days ago, but they seem to be especially numerous this morning.
"You are attracting a lot of attention." Robin pulled out the dining table chair and sat down with a smile.
"It's all thanks to you."
Lynch held up one cheek and played with a record pointer in his hand. This was the only pointer he took from the Self-Defense Forces warship a while ago; and the yellowed introduction letter written by Kurokas
.
"Everyone seems to be envious of me."
He put these two things away.
When Robin heard this, his eyes were full of smiles, and he snapped his fingers and summoned the waiter.
Lynch ordered breakfast for twenty-five people in one go.
Robin only ate a little, then crossed his fingers with his hands, supported his chin on the back of his hands, and looked at him quietly, just like he had done all these years.
The two finished breakfast, drank tea calmly for a while, finally looked at the time, and went to the competition site hand in hand.
As a post-meal digestion exercise, Lynch took Robin on a walk in the air, stepping on moon steps to "pop" and "pop" all the way to the huge arena.
Looking down from a high altitude, the entire arena was completely dark inside and outside, crowded with all kinds of people, and making a lot of noise.
When the Lynch duo fell from the sky, the noise escalated to a new level. Many phone cameras at the scene instantly turned to them, showing their appearance on big screens around the world.
He's really good at being in the limelight...many people think.
These two people are so well matched... many people think so.
"Haha, the view here is very good, everyone is very energetic." In the empty area on the upper level of the arena, the green-haired strong man Tezzolo, who was full of gold and nobility, sat in the special seat and pointed to the field below.
Giorno and Xu Lun beside them laughed and said, "Mr. Sand Crocodile, do you know how they flew here in the sky? I still don't understand..."
Sitting next to him was naturally the man behind this swordsman competition, besides his financial guarantee of Tezoro, the other one who had a guaranteed reputation, Crocodile Shichibukai.
It seems to be called Sixth Style or something like that... Crocodile chewed his cigar. Of course he didn't want to show his timidity in front of the rich man next to him. He said in a deep voice: "It's just a martial art that can fly into the air. It's not a big deal."
Tezzolo didn't seem to care, and said with a hearty smile: "Haha, you are a natural type who can fly, so of course you won't care! But a super type like me is very envious of the skill of being able to fly...
…”
For the sake of so much gold, Crocodile reluctantly tolerated the guy next to him.
The competition is about to begin, and the host enthusiastically introduces Mr. Shichibukai who is coming to the scene.
"..." Crocodile glanced at the guy next to him who had completely hidden himself behind the scenes. Amidst the loud cheers from the audience, he slightly raised his lower body and waved to the countless phone bug cameras that had gathered.
He sat back down quickly.
At this moment, a wave of exclamations sounded from the scene. It turned out that the eagle-eyed man seemed impatient and jumped onto the ring. He drew out the huge black knife from behind and swiped it, signaling his opponent Armand to come up.
Challenge.
Armand didn't get what he wanted, so he walked onto the stage.
"Impatient guy..." Crocodile bit his cigar and snorted, glancing at the boy he cared about even if he didn't admit it.
Oh, why didn't he chat with his female captain this time?
Crocodile squinted his eyes and looked across the vast sea of people in the audience. Hawkeye and the Ghost (Harmony) Lady were fighting fiercely in the ring, while Giorno, who was standing not far from Shiliu on the sidelines, stood tall and tall.
And the look in his eyes...
He actually turned his head slightly, crossed the vast sea of people in the audience, and happened to catch Crocodile's eyes!
"...?!"
Crocodile saw Giorno suddenly smile from a distance, his expression changed instantly, and at the same time, the tall black armor stood behind him at some point.
"B.I.B"'s eyes were narrow and glowing with white light, and his left arm covered with blue flame patterns penetrated Crocodile's body from the back with a punch.
