Pay with Your Life

"As expected of a pirate with a bounty of 500 million Beli!"

Looking at Chinjao, who was still relentlessly fighting Luffy with Haki, Xi Yan's face showed a look of emotion.

Even at such an advanced age, his Haki presence remains strong.

It has to be said, these old men are really skilled.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Boom!"

"This is Leader Green Chinjao!" Watching the two clash fiercely, the host exclaimed excitedly, "Although he has long since retired, his Hasshoken is still at its peak!"

"Lucy was not to be outdone, and he steadily parried Chinjao's powerful attacks every time!"

"My God, this is the most exciting match I've ever seen!"

Towards the end, the host even stood up excitedly, stepping onto the stage, completely absorbed in a state of frenzy.

How many years has he been doing commentary?

This is the first time I've seen a competition of this caliber!

This is so exciting!

"He truly lives up to his grandfather's reputation."

Lao Cai looked at Chinjao in surprise and said, "After fighting for so long, his Haki is still so strong."

Is this the strength of the previous generation of pillars of society?

Even at such an advanced age, he is still able to engage in such a long and intense battle.

He truly lives up to his grandfather's reputation!

"It was his obsession that sustained Grandpa," Abu said with a complicated expression.

He knew all too well how much his grandfather hated Garp, so he understood the other man's current thoughts.

This time, Lao Cai simply nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Straw Hat!"

Chinjao stared intently at Luffy and said, "Let's settle this score with our heads!"

Today, he'll make this kid atone for what Garp did!

"A feud over head?"

Luffy looked at Chinjao with a puzzled expression and asked, "What do you mean?"

What does it mean to have a grudge over something?

What is that old man saying?

Unfortunately, instead of explaining, Chinjao attacked him directly.

"Go to hell!"

"Buto!"

Seeing Chinjao charging at him headfirst, Luffy knew the other wouldn't explain now, so he activated his Devil Fruit ability to defend himself.

"Rubber Balloon!"

"Buzz~"

The next moment, Luffy had inhaled a large amount of gas, rapidly expanded, and he steadily caught Chinjao's head, which was powerful enough to smash the ground!

Chinjao:!!!

Feeling this soft power, Chinjao was stunned. What kind of strange fighting style was this?

With that thought in mind, Chinjao was thrown off balance by Luffy.

Search~

"Boom!!"

"The Chinjao was bounced back by Lucy!"

Watching the Chinjao slide upside down on its head, the host exclaimed excitedly, "Truly worthy of being Lucy!"

"However, this attack doesn't seem to have much effect on Chinjao!"

From his perspective, although the Chinjao was sent flying and slid a distance, he was completely unharmed!

As expected of the leader, Chinjao!

"Damn it... If I were still known as the Chinjao the Drill,' that move would have killed you instantly!"

After saying that, Chinjao's expression turned angry.

Because he remembered the scene of that bastard Garp taking away his power.

"That damned Garp..."

"They not only stole my treasure, but also my power..."

"I will settle this grudge of thirty years today!"

"Buto!"

Chinjao's body soared into the air once more, charging towards Luffy like a cannonball and slamming into Luffy's body!

Upon seeing this, Luffy did not choose to use his Devil Fruit ability to defend himself. Instead, he raised his hands and stopped Chinjao.

I already told you!

Luffy grabbed the Chinjao's Luffy with both hands and flung it into the air, saying, "Go settle the score with my grandpa!"

"Do you understand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy yanked his hands hard, using the force to slam Chinjao to the ground.

"Boom!!"

With a single blow, it smashed a huge crater into the ground!

Upon seeing this, the host subconsciously swallowed, then tentatively asked, "This time... did you defeat Chinjao?"

As time passed, the smoke and dust around the Chinjao gradually dissipated, allowing everyone to see the scene inside more clearly.

At this moment, the Chinjao was lying motionless on the ground, looking as if it had lost consciousness.

"The Chinjao isn't moving!" the host exclaimed, eyes wide. "Has it fainted?"

If he faints, then Lucy will be the winner of this match!

With that in mind, the host prepared to announce the winner of the competition.

Before he could even speak, Chinjao slapped the ground hard, making it clear to the host that he hadn't lost consciousness.

Realizing this, the host immediately exclaimed, "It seems this attack is still ineffective!"

"Of course it's invalid."

Xi Yan shook his head and said, "He didn't even use his Haki, how could he possibly defeat this old man?"

Although the other party is quite old, their Haki is not weak!

Therefore, to defeat such an Haki old man, one must use Haki.

"That wretched Straw Hat!"

The Chinjao, lying on the ground, had veins bulging on its forehead in anger, before it slammed its head against the ground.

"Boom!!"

After smashing the ground below, the Chinjao began to stand upside down, its head resting on the ground, looking very strange.

"Ha?"

What is he doing?

The host looked at the Chinjao with a puzzled expression, completely failing to understand his purpose in doing so.

However, out of professional courtesy, the host still asked, "Is the Chinjao preparing to attack?"

"What move will they use this time?"

Towards the end, a hint of anticipation even appeared on the host's face, clearly looking forward to seeing Chinjao's Hasshoken technique.

"Try this move!" Chinjao shouted, "Hasshoken - Buto Spin!"

After saying that, Chinjao's upside-down body began to spin, creating a vortex, and quickly rushed towards Luffy in front of him.

"Go, old man!" Abu shouted excitedly, "Use this move to take down that brat!"

This is one of the old man's most powerful moves; it could definitely take down this kid!

Lao Cai then called out, "Grandpa!"

"Using the Hasshoken, take him down!"

As if hearing the shouts of two grandsons, the Chinjao spun even faster.

"Kid, you think you can get rid of my resentment?" Chinjao roared, "Then try and see!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy subconsciously frowned. Why was it this kind of talk again?

"Although I don't know what grudge you have with Grandpa, I must win this time!" Luffy said earnestly.

He had promised to help Ace get the Diamond Fruit, so... he absolutely couldn't let victory slip away!

Thinking of this, Luffy quickly jumped up and launched an attack on Chinjao without hesitation.

"Rubber Machine Gun!"

"Lucy has made his move!"

Watching Luffy leap into the air to Luffy Chinjao, the host shouted, "Will his attack be effective this time?"

Who will be the final victor?

Let's wait and see!

"It's useless!"

Feeling Luffy's attack, Chinjao roared, "Your attacks are like tickling me!"

After saying that, Chinjao slammed into Luffy's direction, forcing Luffy to rush away and dodge the attack.

"Looks like ordinary moves won't be able to knock you away," Luffy said. "In that case... Second Gear!"

"Sizzle sizzle~"

As Second Gear was activated, steam began to rise from Luffy's body, and then he vanished from the spot in an instant.

When it reappeared, it was already in front of the Chinjao.

"Small..."

"Rubber Jet Gatling Cannon!"

"Boom!!"

A terrifying force slammed into Chinjao's spinning body, sending him flying.

This scene stunned the host.

"Huh?!"

"What just happened?" the host exclaimed in surprise. "Did Lucy knock the Chinjao away?"

Damn it, those two are fighting way too fast! Sometimes he can't even keep up with their movements!

How can I possibly explain this?!

"This guy..."

Watching Luffy send his grandfather Luffy, Abu subconsciously frowned. Why is this kid so strong?

Lao Cai, on the other hand, looked at Luffy with a serious expression, clearly also concerned about Luffy's strength.

But trusting his grandfather, he still felt that his old man could defeat the kid.

"Not bad, kid."

Chinjao, having gotten back to his feet, instinctively looked in Luffy's direction and said, "You..."

Before he could finish speaking, Luffy had already vanished from the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already behind his head.

Having sensed this using his Observation Haki, Chinjao decisively stopped talking and struck back with a fist wrapped in Haki.

"Clang!"

The two Haki attacks collided violently, producing a metallic clang.

And so, they exchanged punches and kicks, engaging in a frenzied battle on the field.

"Hahaha~"

Burgess, who had just arrived to watch the match, laughed and said, "This is really interesting!"

We definitely made the right choice coming to this competition!

"Burgess ..."

Bartolomeo and Cavendish both wore serious expressions as they looked at the tall man who had come to their side.

Regardless, this guy is one of the Four Emperors, so we need to be careful with him.

Burgess, however, ignored their reactions, stared at Luffy for a moment, then stroked his chin and asked, "Who's that little guy?"

"He is Lucy," said an ordinary gladiator standing nearby.

"Lucy?"

Burgess tilted his head; it was a name he'd never heard of before.

Although I don't know who the opponent is, it's still quite impressive that they were able to fight someone like Chinjao to this extent.

'I wonder if he'd be willing to submit to our Blackbeard Pirates,' Burgess thought to himself.

If they wanted, a guy with a bounty of 500 million could easily become a high-ranking officer in their pirate crew.

Thinking of this, Burgess showed an interested expression, clearly intending to observe the opponent's combat.

If he could defeat Chinjao, he would give him a chance to join their pirate crew.

"Burgess, huh?"

Upon hearing Burgess' laughter in another window, Xi Yan subconsciously frowned.

Although he didn't care much about this guy, he couldn't ignore Blackbeard, after all, the other party was now a Four Emperors- level figure.

If that guy also shows up in Dressrosa, it might not be a good thing for them.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan frowned even more deeply.

However, so far, none of his clones have received any information about Blackbeard appearing here, so the probability of him being here is probably not very high.

With that in mind, Xi Yan turned his attention back to the competition field.

Then, as if receiving some kind of information, Xi Yan subconsciously frowned.

"Fake?"

Was the news that Doflamingo resigned from the Shichibukai actually a hoax?

No, is it true?

How did they manage to do that?

At this moment, Xi Yan's face was filled with confusion.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi in his arms suddenly rang.

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Pineapple pineapple pineapple~"

"Den Den Mushi...?"

Xi Yan glanced at the direction in his arms, and his expression darkened slightly.

Although he doesn't know who contacted him, contacting him under these circumstances is unlikely to be a good thing.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan used his Observation Haki to scan his surroundings. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he jumped out of the window.

"Kaga ~"

"I am Sanji!"

"Oh, it's Sanji."

Upon connecting to the Den Den Mushi, Xi Yan asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"I've just received some very important information."

As he spoke, Sanji kicked one of the Donquixote Family underlings next to him, knocking him unconscious, and then continued, "We were all fooled by Doflamingo!"

"Ah, I know too."

Xi Yan rubbed his temples and said, "I just received this information."

It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but my clone had been searching for the Factory in seclusion and hadn't been seen in public at all, so it didn't know anything about it.

By the time I saw it, it was already past three o'clock.

Sanji was taken aback. What did it mean that he had received this information?

Then, he remembered the special feature of Xi Yan's Shadow Clone: it could transmit the memories it saw to Xi Yan's main body.

Once Sanji understood this, he stopped worrying about it, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"How do you think he did it?"

Sanji, who had just stood up from the enemy, glanced in the direction of the Green Bit before continuing, "How was he able to deceive the entire world?"

After saying that, Sanji didn't stay there any longer. Instead, he took big strides and ran off in the distance.

He's already wasted some time with these pursuers, so he has to hurry to Green Bit to rescue them.
