The tournament begins, and a Devil Fruit prepared for Sabo

Ultimately, Haku left the warship where Fujitora was stationed, having seen through Fujitora's own convictions.

Such people may only change after hitting a brick wall.

Fujitora stared at the spot where Haku had left, lost in thought.

However, he has already decided to stay in Dressrosa, partly to keep an eye on the Float-Float Fruit and prevent it from causing any trouble!

On the other hand, he also wanted to see what Haku wanted him to see by having him stay there.

The next day, which was also the day the Corrida Colosseum competition began!

"Here they come! Distinguished guests, passionate fighters, and spectators from all over the world, hello everyone! I am your live announcer for today's Corrida Colosseum — Gazz. At this moment, our hearts are pounding in unison with this boiling arena, because we are all eagerly anticipating that mysterious and powerful fruit— the Float-Float Fruit!"

On this battlefield where passion and glory intertwine, every contestant is a champion of the sea, writing their own legend with their sweat and hard work. Today, they will engage in an unprecedentedly fierce competition for the legendary Float-Float Fruit, which is said to make anything fly freely!

Let us look forward to seeing who will emerge victorious in this fierce competition and reap the coveted Float-Float Fruit! Here, courage and wisdom will collide to create the most dazzling sparks, and strength and skill will intertwine to weave the most moving chapters.

Now, let us turn our attention to the arena and give these valiant fighters our warmest applause and sincerest blessings! The Corrida Colosseum, the battle is about to begin!

With a passionate opening speech from Gazz, the live announcer of the bullfighting arena, all the spectators and fighters who came to watch the event were filled with excitement and looked forward to the exciting duel to come.

The early arrivals quickly found their seats. Some excitedly chatted with their companions about their anticipation for the upcoming match, while others, with binoculars in hand, couldn't wait to catch a glimpse of the legendary sea warriors.

The contestants were eager to compete, their eyes gleaming with determination. They knew full well that the upcoming competition would be a severe test of their abilities.

Inside the Corrida Colosseum, the atmosphere was tense and exciting. Sunlight illuminated every corner, and inspiring music and cheers rose and fell, weaving together a thrilling scene. Among all the sights, the most eye-catching was undoubtedly the Float-Float Fruit hanging in the center of the arena. It emitted a faint glow, as if waiting for its own hero.

Haku was also very excited and almost considered disguising herself and going down to join in the fun.

Unbeknownst to him, a distant gaze was fixed on Haku's direction!

With Haku's keen senses, she should have known when that gaze fell upon her.

He should have noticed it!

But Haku knew nothing about it! It was as if that person had vanished from her world?

Haku was unaware of these things; what piqued his interest was that Luffy had also come to participate in this Corrida Colosseum competition.

Logically speaking, without the Flame-Flame Fruit carrying its special significance, Luffy should be waiting to invade the Royal Palace and defeat Doflamingo.

However, Luffy chose to participate in the Corrida Colosseum at this moment, which made Haku curious.

Could it be that Luffy has been excluded from this operation targeting Doflamingo? Haku wondered curiously!

Luffy, as always, disguised himself and entered the tournament under the alias Lucy.

As the competition progressed, the atmosphere in the arena grew increasingly heated. The cheers and shouts of the audience rose and fell, seemingly threatening to overturn the entire arena. Haku was also caught up in this atmosphere. He sat in the stands, his eyes fixed on the center of the arena, watching the performance of each contestant.

Luffy displayed astonishing strength in the match, defeating his opponents time and time again with his powerful physique and unwavering will. His performance did not surprise Haku, considering Luffy is the kind of person with an extremely strong fighting spirit.

He gains a huge boost after almost every battle!

Just as Haku was lost in thought, his gaze was once again drawn to another pair of eyes.

The Master of that gaze was Fujitora, who sat quietly in the audience, his eyes fixed on Haku.

Haku waved her hand at the other person as a greeting.

Violet, who had been silently standing beside Haku, noticed something and looked in the direction Haku was staring.

Soon, she spotted the person standing among the audience, dressed in a very conspicuous purple robe!

Seeing an Admiral made her slightly nervous, but remembering the strength of the man beside her, Violet quickly regained her composure.

"Haku!" someone called out Haku's name.

Hearing the voice, Haku looked behind her. There she saw Sabo waving and running towards her!

"Finally, we've caught up! Where is Luffy in the match?" Sabo ran up to Haku's side, slightly out of breath.

Haku raised an eyebrow and said seriously, "So, you're the one Luffy participate in this competition for the Float-Float Fruit?"

Sabo scratched his head and laughed, saying, "There's no other way. Some of us brothers ate Devil Fruit. I thought I might as well get a Devil Fruit power myself!"

Haku finally understood why Luffy had come to the Corrida Colosseum to compete for the Float-Float Fruit at such an important time!

Haku's lips twitched as she said, "Actually, I've already prepared a Devil Fruit that's perfect for you."

"Huh? Prepared for me?" Sabo was also completely bewildered.

He went through all that trouble to complete his investigation ahead of schedule and get to this place, only to find out that he could get a Devil Fruit without all that trouble!

Haku reached into her pocket and pulled out an Artificial Devil Fruit!

That's right, this Artificial Devil Fruit is the very Devil Fruit that Haku extracted from Momonosuke.

"This?" After several days of investigation, Sabo naturally knew that this was Artificial Devil Fruit.

Haku shrugged and said, "This is Artificial Devil Fruit Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Gold Dragon Mode!"

Sabo, embarrassed, said, "Isn't it said that the failure rate of eating Artificial Devil Fruit is very high? Are you sure I won't die on the spot if I eat this thing?"
