Anyone Can Be Terrifying!

Looking at the full view of 'Ice-Fire Island' on the large virtual screen and listening to Stella's pleasant narration, Imu was completely satisfied.

That's the fun of being a time traveler!

If there were another time traveler from the same place as him, they would definitely be able to see what Imu was so happy about in this 'semi-final' competition format.

Isn't this just 'Multiplayer-Online-Battle-Arena'?

It's a live-action version!

Actually, the previous 'preliminary rounds' came about in the same way; wasn't it just like 'PUBG'?

He simply hadn't thought it through in such detail, and the World Government below, being doing this for the first time, also failed to consider the consequences, leading to so many casualties.

Let's get back to this 'resumption of play'.

This was something Imu had been longing for since Echizen.

At the time, I just fantasized about how great it would be if some kind of high-tech virtual reality technology could allow real people to play 'heroes' and participate in 5v5 'MOBA' battles.

This is a variation, where participants in the "Combat Power Tournament" present themselves with a "competitive match" where real people act as "heroes."

Furthermore, Imu intends to solidify this competition format, requiring every contestant in the future 'Myriad Worlds Battle Power Tournament' to compete on 'Ice-Fire Island'!

Hahahaha!

A strong sense of wicked pleasure welled up inside him. Imu maintained a calm, even somewhat indifferent, expression on the surface, but inwardly he was laughing hysterically, bursting into laughter.

"This is more interesting! These increasingly interesting Sea Star are the Sea Star I want!"

"And this is the Sea Star that truly belongs to me!"

At the same time,

The audience from all four worlds were also captivated by this novel competition format, and everyone was discussing it animatedly, talking about the harsh environment on 'Ice-Fire Island' and how to win according to the competition rules.

Naturally, the 400-meter racers on the cruise ship deck were also gazing at the distant islands while quietly discussing with their newly formed teammates.

"If killing isn't allowed, then there's no point in doing anything."

"Exactly, if we don't kill anyone, isn't it just like children playing games?"

"I think it's pretty good. At least my life is safe. This is the great era of 'conquering all worlds,' and I don't want to die prematurely. I at least have to taste the women of Otherworld!"

At that moment, the loudspeaker above started broadcasting again.

"In one hour, Squad 1 and Squad 2 will compete in the first match. Both teams, led by marines, should proceed to their respective warships, which will then take them to the castle docks on either side of the island."

Immediately, everyone's eyes were focused on the two teams of ten people, with the most attention on Team 2, because one of them was Fish-Man Race!

It was Chiu from Arlong Pirates, a 'kissing Fish-Man's who was over two meters tall, with blue skin, bright red lips, and dark gold hair.

According to the records in that booklet.

This is a strong Fish-Man is skilled in 'Fish-Man Judo', can control water flow to a certain extent, and can also spew water cannons!

However, like Arlong, he held his four human teammates in contempt.

The rather tall Qiu didn't even bother to glance at them, only keeping his right hand in his pocket as he gazed at 'Ice-Fire Island'.

For him, neither the high temperatures of a volcano nor the low temperatures of Iceburg are pleasant environments, because Fish-Man Island is a place that is warm all year round.

"Looks like we need to get to the lake in the center as soon as possible~"

Soon, the two teams were led onto a warship by several marines. After deciding the location by tossing a coin, they boarded their respective warships and sped off towards opposite ends of 'Ice-Fire Island'.

The remaining contestants mostly chose to return to their cabins and discuss more specific matters in one of the members' rooms. As for the progress of the competition, they could watch it from their rooms using small Visual Den Den Mushi).

Some people, seeing that there were fewer people on the deck, decided to stay and find a corner to talk quietly while enjoying the sea breeze.

These are basically the type who are highly skilled and daring, completely unconcerned about the possibility of 'leaking secrets'.

Just.

The same applies to Squad 5, Squad 10, and Squad 12.

However, compared to the latter two squads with harmonious team atmosphere, Squad 5 seems to be rife with internal conflicts.

"Ah?"

"You lowly races, to be teammates with a noble Fish-Man like me is an immense honor in itself, yet you dare to disobey me?"

Arlong clenched his fist, raised it, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and glared fiercely at the four humans in front of him, threatening them.

Although he had been taught a lesson by that naval captain a few years ago, his nature had not changed much. On the contrary, as his Fish-Man Karate skills improved, his confidence soared even higher.

In the previous 'preliminary rounds', he used the lake and river in the center of the island to brutally kill hundreds of human experts.

"Ha?"

Upon hearing this, Krieg doubted whether he had misheard. He subconsciously tapped his ear canal with his finger and pulled out a small piece of yellow earwax.

With a casual flick of his finger, he sent the object flying into Arlong's face, then sneered, "How come I remember hundreds of years ago, you were all classified as fish?"

"If we're talking about the most despicable race, wouldn't the Fish-Man Race be the lowest of all?"

Krieg's two rhetorical questions and that slap in the ear caused a red glint of murderous intent to flash in Arlong's eyes.

"You little dwarf, how dare you insult Fish-Man in front of me, Arlong?"

"Are you looking for death?"

To be fair, Arlong is 2.64 meters tall, while Krieg is only 2.43 meters tall, which is a significant difference of 20 centimeters, equivalent to a 1.8-meter person facing off against a 1.6-meter person.

"You worthless wretch, it seems I need to teach you how to speak to noble humans."

Because of his Monstrous Strength, Krieg has always lived a life where he bullies others and no one dares to bare their teeth at him.

Moreover, his personality can be described as a combination of arrogance, ruthlessness, and despicableness.

If Arlong still harbored some affection and loyalty towards his clan, then Krieg was truly ruthless. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes as he looked at Arlong, a sinister glint flashing within them.

He knew he was probably no match for the Fish-Man, but to kill someone, you didn't actually need to be stronger than them.

"You!"

Just as Arlong was about to say something more, Benn Beckman, who was looking at his cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke and warned in a deep voice, "Shut up, or you'll get yourself into trouble."

Yasopp, meanwhile, remained silent, carrying his sniper rifle.

"Ah?"

Arlong laughed in exasperation.

Well, he hadn't even read the 'player's handbook' because he believed that once he mastered advanced Fish-Man Karate, most humans wouldn't be a match for him.

As for that small portion, it's all with the World Government's military!

Sudden.

Without warning, Arlong attacked, clenching his massive fist and smashing it toward Krieg's head.

The next second.

A muffled thud rang out.

But then Arlong's head was struck by something so fast it was impossible to see, and he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing hard into the railing on the other side of the boat, unable to get up for a long time.

Benn Beckman, a cigarette dangling from his lips and the barrel of a rifle in one hand, said calmly, "I warned you, watch your mouth. If there's a next time, we can have four people competing."

It turned out that he had just hit Arlong with the butt of his gun, but the speed of the attack was so fast that Krieg didn't see anything at all. Only Yasopp and Horobi, who had Awakening their Observation Haki, clearly felt it.

"So strong!"

Horobi stared at Benn Beckman in astonishment, thinking to himself, "There was no Haki aura just now, so he completely relied on his strength to send that Fish-Man Race flying?"

She felt increasingly awe of this world of Sea Star; it was truly terrifying that anyone she randomly picked out was so monstrous!

Hey everyone, let's get talking! It's so boring without any discussion. Don't you guys have any thoughts or suggestions about this book?
