"All right, then... who's next?"

"But since you've come up here, you'd better be prepared to die!"

Luo Sa glanced down at the crowd with disdain, his voice carrying a chill.

At once, some of the people below who had been thinking of taking a chance felt a chill run through them. They didn't even dare meet his eyes!

"That guy... he's really killed people!"

The thought arose in everyone's mind.

"Going up there... you'll really die!"

Everyone who had come for the Devil Fruit looked frightened. They weren't thrill-seeking young masters; reason told them there was no way they could step into that ring!

"Get up there! Come on!"

"Don't be scared! You might win!"

"Even if you lose, it doesn't matter. If you run fast enough, maybe you won't die!"

The spectators immediately started egging people on, eager to stir up trouble.

"If nobody else is coming, I'll take this Devil Fruit!"

A fierce gale wrapped around Luo Sa, sweeping across the entire arena. The spectators surrounding the ring were pushed back several steps, unable to move forward at all!

Clearly, anyone who wanted to get into the ring would first have to face that gale!

When nobody answered, Luo Sa moved, darting up to the highest platform in an instant.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, a voice called out. A man wearing a dog mask came over slowly, one arm around a woman.

Luo Sa frowned, then looked over and narrowed his eyes.

"That symbol is... Hyena Bellamy!"

Bellamy was wearing a dog mask, but his outfit, blond hair, and the emblem on his chest made him stand out unmistakably!

"I can't believe we've run into Bellamy here. He looks about seventeen or eighteen, I guess?"

"I wonder if he's become a pirate yet. Probably not, or he wouldn't dare show up here."

"Ten years from now, his bounty will only be 55 million Beli. I wonder how strong he is right now?"

Luo Sa turned around, his gaze serious as he looked at Bellamy.

"Hehehe! If I beat him, I'll become a true Great Pirate! A Great Pirate!"

"I'm so excited! So excited!"

Bellamy was thrilled, and his gaze at Luo Sa burned with excitement.

"Looks like you're the last opponent. But..."

"Are you ready to die?"

A cold smile appeared on Luo Sa's lips. If Bellamy really dared to enter the ring, Luo Sa wouldn't mind killing him!

"Right back at you!"

Bellamy grinned viciously, leaped into the air, and impatiently launched his attack on Luo Sa.

He couldn't bear to wait another second!

Luo Sa and Bellamy were clearly both aiming to end the fight quickly!

"Spring Sniper!"

Bellamy used his Devil Fruit power as soon as he entered the ring.

His lower legs turned into springs. He slammed them against the ground, storing a huge amount of elastic potential energy in his feet, then converted it into kinetic energy and launched himself at Luo Sa.

Luo Sa shot into the air. If Bellamy wanted to compete on speed, Luo Sa wasn't afraid!

"He's a Devil Fruit User too?"

The crowd below erupted in an uproar. The two men in the ring were like real demons, far beyond anything they could contend with!

"Think you can get away by flying? Spring Jump Man!"

His first attack had missed, but Bellamy kept bouncing around on his spring legs, charging at Luo Sa from every direction.

With each bounce, Bellamy grew faster. The couples below had long since lost sight of him.

But speed and reflexes were also among the Winged Gull's strengths. Despite their repeated exchanges, Bellamy couldn't land a single hit on Luo Sa.

"Damn it! Take this, Spring Hand Net!"

Seeing that his attacks couldn't reach Luo Sa, Bellamy turned both hands into springs and stretched them out like a giant net, trying to trap Luo Sa in the middle.

"There's your opening!"

A smile suddenly curved Luo Sa's beak as he watched from the air.

The next moment, the Winged Gull moved, charging straight toward Bellamy, who had spread out his net.

Though the Spring Hand Net increased his attack range, it also slowed him down, leaving him exposed in midair.

"Just what I wanted! Take this, Spring Death Fist!"

Bellamy was delighted to see Luo Sa charging straight at him. He pulled one fist back, turning it into a spring and compressing it tighter and tighter.

As soon as Luo Sa entered range, Bellamy unleashed a punch at incredible speed!

"How naive. Swallow Return!"

Luo Sa smiled as the Flying Attribute energy inside him began to surge.

Just as the Spring Death Fist was about to hit him, Luo Sa suddenly vanished!

Boom!

In an instant, Luo Sa reappeared in front of Bellamy, his beak striking Bellamy in the stomach as he carried him high into the sky!

"One last hit, Bellamy!"

Luo Sa flew past Bellamy and rose above him. Looking down at Bellamy in midair, his eyes held a trace of pity.

"Air Slash!"

His wings snapped shut, and Flying Attribute energy surged through every feather. When he spread them again, two powerful blades of wind shot forth.

Boom!

The springs on Bellamy's body began snapping one after another under Luo Sa's attack, cracking all over.

Boom!

With a heavy crash, Bellamy slammed into the concrete stage, smashing a huge hole into it. Cracks spread out across the surrounding ground like a spiderweb!

"Gulp!"

"Is it over?"

The spectators blinked in confusion. The two of them had been moving too fast for anyone to see a thing, and yet the fight was already over?

"Anyone else want to die?!"

Luo Sa landed on the platform with the box in his hands, his gaze sweeping across the crowd!

Everyone instinctively shook their heads, nodding and shaking like rattles. Their lives were far more precious than a Devil Fruit!

"Good!"

Luo Sa's lips slowly curved into a smile. He tightened his grip, and the box burst open, revealing a Devil Fruit inside!

Hina's face lit up with delight at the sight of the Devil Fruit. Before Luo Sa could react, she threw her arms around him.

Their eyes met, and both their faces flushed crimson.

Whistles immediately rang out from the crowd below.

"Congratulations to the couple onstage for winning this Couples Tournament!"

"This Paramecia Kankan Fruit symbolizes eternal devotion. It can keep the one you love firmly by your side. Now, let's all congratulate the happy couple!"
