You're Actually the Weak Ones!

As the first match between Squad 1 and Squad 2 began, more and more of the internal situation of 'Ice-Fire Island' was exposed to everyone.

Viewers can control the viewpoint on the virtual screen by manipulating the keypad on the back of the Projection Den Den Mushi. They can focus on one person or display the situation of ten people in small segments at the same time.

It has to be said that Den Den Den Mushi) are truly amazing creatures in the Sea Star World, the darkest of the dark. The best part is, they only need to eat grass and leaves to survive.

At this time.

The 12th squad, composed of five 'Pillars' of the 'Demon Slayer Corps,' like most people, focused their attention on the 2nd squad, especially Chu, who was Fish-Man Race.

As per regulations, they brought only their own weapons and tools to the interior of the ice castle on the other side of the Iceburg.

The space inside is very large, and the floor and walls are made of ice, so they appear somewhat translucent and shimmering.

However, their attention was focused on the five metal boxes placed on the ground, and the five Den Den Den Mushi dressed in winter clothes sitting on top of the boxes.

"Food, fresh water, medicine, clothing, map."

Kyojuro Rengoku read aloud the writing on the boxes through the visuals, then said, "I see, so this castle is essentially a supply depot?"

"Um."

Giyu Tomioka nodded. "According to the rules, the opposing team is not allowed to attack or enter the castle, so it is considered the only safe zone on the island. Although there are a small amount of food, fresh water and medicine in those turrets, they are allowed to be attacked and invaded."

"However, each turret has a self-destruct button inside. Once the enemy successfully enters and presses the button, it's equivalent to destroying the turret."

Muichiro Tokito smiled gently. Since regaining his memories, he had developed a particular fondness for smiling, and his interactions with others were always pleasant and welcoming.

"That's a good rule. After all, not everyone has the ability to destroy those metal turrets that are over ten meters tall, and the main body of the cannon is hidden inside the top of the turret, so it's not easy to just burn the cannon itself."

Iguro Obanai, Sanemi Shinazugawa, and the others nodded in agreement.

After all, destructive power is never the only standard of strength. It depends on a person's comprehensive abilities in all aspects. A person who can destroy turrets may very well be defeated by someone who cannot.

For example, these 'pillars' are not as destructive as some of the 'Twelve Kizuki' of the past, but they still have ways to behead them and turn them to ashes.

Clearly, the World Government is well aware of this, which is why it has set up this 'self-destruct button'.

Soon.

In the scene, Squad 1 and Squad 2 launched their operation, and their choices were almost identical: to spread out the five members of each squad.

One person is responsible for each of the three main roads and the jungle on both sides.

Although 'Ice-Fire Island' is not as large as the previous 'Selection Island', it is still comparable to a city.

If the jungle is unguarded, the enemy could easily circle around to their rear and take out the turrets there. However, to be fair, without Observation Haki, it's unrealistic to expect one person to guard the entire forest.

But no matter what, we still have to send someone.

What do you think?

Inside Squad Five, Yasopp looked at Benn Beckman. Although the two had only known each other for a short time and came from different seas, they inexplicably got along well.

Arlong, his face bruised and swollen, sat to the side, enduring the mocking gaze from that Krieg. No matter how much he gritted his teeth or clenched his webbed fists tightly, he dared not make a move.

He also wanted to be among the top 100 to showcase the superior bloodline of the Fish-Man Race.

Also, I really can't beat this human named Ben Benn Beckman, it's so damn infuriating!

"Actually, we could completely abandon one side of the jungle and have the two of them work together to take out one of the enemy's jungle guards, or one of their members on a main road, to ensure a local numerical advantage."

"Targeting people is easier than dismantling towers, but in the end, there's one person with strong perception."

Benn Beckman pondered for a moment before sharing his thoughts.

He found the 'Ice-Fire Island' organized by the World Government to be very interesting.

The strong have their own way of playing, and the weak have their own way of playing.

The latter could have easily avoided a direct confrontation with the former.

Even if a strong team groups up with five players and pushes through a main road.

The weaker team can also split up and push the turrets on the other two lanes.

However, if the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, then there's nothing more to say.

After all, this isn't a real game, so there's no such thing as balance.

As long as the lives of the weak are preserved, how can one possibly pursue so-called fairness?

Yasopp laughed and said, "I can take responsibility for that."

Although he had only recently Awakening his Observation Haki, its range was already quite large.

It's definitely not a problem for them to be able to sense at least a jungle.

Benn Beckman nodded. "Yes, you'll be working with me then."

"So the three of us will be responsible for guarding the turrets on the main road?" Horobi said softly.

"Right."

Benn Beckman looked at Horobi, Krieg, and Arlong, ignoring Arlong's sour face, and gave the orders naturally.

"Horobi. Not only do you possess Observation Haki, but you also have a powerful technique like the 'Fear Energy Bullet.' Take charge of the main road in the middle and see if you can destroy the enemy's turrets directly."

"Good!"

She had no objection to Horobi; she was used to following orders and was too lazy to be a leader.

Furthermore, although Benn Beckman has not yet left the South Blue, nor experienced those adventures and battles, he has mastered the basic application of Armament Haki, namely, Coating, through self-cultivation.

In addition, his physical talent far surpasses that of Krieg, whose so-called Monstrous Strength is merely average in the eyes of the former.

Other qualities, such as combat skills and tactical wisdom, go without saying.

"Krieg, and Arlong, you two take care of the top and bottom lanes. Remember, just keep an eye on the first turret at the front. Even if the enemy team gets behind you and destroys the turrets behind you, don't worry about it."

"Because if you choose to leave and head to the turrets behind, the enemy personnel facing you can easily destroy the first turret as well."

Benn Beckman was really worried about the two men's intelligence, so he could only break down these simple principles and explain them in detail.

Or rather...

He didn't think much of the intelligence of most people in Sea Star.

"Hmph, just take out their members!"

Arlong snorted coldly, but his appearance Wano Language revealed a hint of stubbornness.

Although Krieg didn't say anything, his expression suggested he agreed with Arlong's words.

Benn Beckman didn't argue, and laughed, "If you really have that ability, then go for it, just don't get killed by them."

"That's right."

Yasopp chimed in, showing no respect whatsoever to the two men.

"These four hundred people are all strong individuals who have emerged from tens of thousands of experts."

"There are many Devil Fruit User and Haki users inside."

"You two are actually the weak ones!"
