Collision, Fierce Collision!

"Bring it on, kid!"

Chinjao, having enveloped his entire head in Armament Haki, roared, "I'll let you taste the baptism of your soul!"

"This strike contains thirty years of hatred for Garp!"

Today, he's going to personally shatter this brat's dream and let him taste what it feels like to lose one!

Luffy ignored the guy and instead focused intently on blowing air into his thumb, making his fist grow larger until it became an enormous giant's fist!

"Hey, what's that?" The audience stared at Luffy in disbelief, saying, "Am I seeing things?"

"Why has Lucy's fist gotten so big?"

What kind of Devil Fruit User is this guy?

At this moment, their hearts were filled with doubt.

The host looked at Luffy in utter bewilderment, clearly not expecting Luffy to do something like that.

"Although we don't know what Lucy did, his arm has become incredibly huge!" the host exclaimed. "Was this Lucy's strongest attack?!"

Does this mean that the battle between the two is about to reach a conclusion?

Thinking of this, the host's face lit up with anticipation.

Although this battle was exceptionally exciting, he was even more looking forward to the final battle between the four top-tier fighters!

"That kind of trick won't work on me," Chinjao said coldly. "Today, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Just you wait, Garp.

You will definitely see the news that your grandson died at my hands!

At that time... you bastard will be heartbroken.

And this is exactly what I want to see!

In this way, I can say that I've avenged my pointed head!

Thinking of this, Chinjao's expression gradually turned ferocious.

"Kid, your grandfather's punch took everything from me, so you should atone for his sins!"

After saying that, Chinjao's legs began to bend, clearly indicating that she was preparing to leap into the air.

"What's so special about it?" Luffy shouted, "It's just one punch!"

"I don't even know how many punches he's given me!"

Chinjao:???

Did this brat mistake his interaction with his grandfather for a fight?

Damn it, that bastard is still mocking him!

Thinking of this, Chinjao immediately became even angrier.

"You brat, watch me shatter every bone in your body, then see if you'll still dare to talk nonsense!" Chinjao roared, "Hasshoken Secret Art - Dragon Without Cone - Nail Without Cone!!!"

After saying that, Chinjao jumped up quickly and headbutted Luffy.

Faced with such an attack, Luffy did not hesitate to throw a punch, clearly intending to use his own fist to defeat Chinjao!

"Gum-Gum Thor Elephant Gun!!!" Luffy roared.

The next moment...

"Clang!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

The two attacks collided violently, immediately unleashing an incredibly terrifying roar.

Amidst the roaring sound, there were also flashes of lightning, sounding like thunder rumbling overhead, leaving the audience stunned and speechless.

Such a battle was truly breathtaking!

Today's ticket price... was such a great deal!!!

The two figures in the sky were locked in a struggle, their expressions increasingly ferocious.

After a brief stalemate, Luffy gradually began to gain the upper hand.

"Get down here!!!" Luffy roared.

The next moment, Luffy's fist slammed down on Chinjao's head, forcefully pushing back the cone-shaped head that Garp had flattened.

"Buzz~"

With a single strike, the Chinjao was restored to its original state!

"Huh?!!"

"Eh!!!"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the giant cone-shaped head reappear.

Why did Chinjao's pointed head reappear after Teuchi Lucy?

Abu and Lao Cai's expressions were even more exaggerated, not only because they were shocked by Lucy's actions, but also because they were excited that their grandfather had regained his cone-shaped head.

That way, their grandfather will be able to pull himself together!

With that thought in mind, they watched as the Chinjao fell from the sky and crashed heavily onto the arena below.

The next moment...

"Boom!!!"

That terrifying cone-shaped head easily shattered the arena below, splitting it in two!

At this moment, those who knew some of the details understood why this legendary pirate had the nickname "Chinjao the Drill" in the past.

With that awl-shaped head, even unconscious, he could cleave the arena in two... Is this the power of this legendary pirate?

That's really scary!!

"Grandfather!"

Seeing their grandfather fall into the water, Lao Cai and Abu quickly swam over, fearing that their grandfather would drown.

Luffy, meanwhile, stared at the water's surface in surprise, clearly not expecting to be the one to deliver the spiked blow.

But... that way, he won't keep bothering me, right?

Thinking of this, Luffy relaxed.

Although he wasn't afraid of the old man, it was still quite troublesome to be constantly chased and beaten by him, so resolving the problem would be the best option.

"Green... Chinjao has been knocked out of the arena!" Watching Lao Cai and Abu rush to Chinjao's aid, the host swallowed hard and said, "He's disqualified. Lucy has won!"

"The champion of C Area is Lucy!!!"

"Profound!!!"

"Lucy!"

"Lucy!"

"Lucy!"

The audience erupted in cheers the moment they heard the host's words.

This competition was absolutely amazing!

It's safe to say they've never seen such a fantastic match in their entire lives!

"Hateful."

Cavendish gritted his teeth and said, "Can one garner such cheers even by hiding one's identity?"

"That wretched Straw Hat!"

"Come back quickly, this time I won't let you escape again!"

In the end, Cavendish gripped his sword, his eyes turning icy cold.

Today, he's going to kill this bastard who dared to steal his cheers.

Bartolomeo watched Luffy's figure with excitement, his eyes even getting a little moist.

This is Luffy- senpai... He's so cool!

Then, Bartolomeo glanced at Cavendish and said, "Cavendish, I told you I wouldn't let you hurt him."

"Ha?"

Cavendish gave Bartolomeo a cold look, his longsword half-drawn, and said, "If you dare to get in my way, I'll kill you too!"

"Bartolomeo!"

"Hahaha, I'm so scared!" Bartolomeo grinned. "You can try it too."

Seeing Bartolomeo's nonchalant attitude, Cavendish abandoned his plan to take action now.

After casually sheathing his half-drawn sword, Cavendish said coldly, "No matter what, I won't give you the Straw Hat. I'm the one who will kill this guy!"

At this moment, Cavendish still thought Bartolomeo was trying to steal his prey.

Bartolomeo didn't explain, as long as he could stop this guy, there was no need to tell him the reason.

"Straw Hat?"

Burgess glanced at Luffy with a puzzled look, then, as if he had figured something out, he suddenly grinned and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha~"

"Oh, I see. This thing is wearing Straw Hat."

"How interesting!"

"Hahaha~"

Burgess, who recognized Lucy as Luffy, laughed heartily.

With a guy like that around, this competition is sure to be very interesting.

But unfortunately... the Diamond Fruit belongs to him!

He was determined to get that Devil Fruit!

Hahaha~

Bartolomeo glanced at the laughing Burgess and slowly narrowed his eyes.

Although the Four Emperors Crew are quite troublesome, if it's because of Straw Hat Senpai... he wouldn't mind taking action and killing this guy!

As for the consequences of provoking the Four Emperors?

As long as he can help Luffy, he's not afraid of anything, not even the Four Emperors Crew, or even the World Government!

"That's really interesting."

Staring at the Chinjao who had been rescued by his two grandsons, Xi Yan stroked his chin and said, "In that case... this old man shouldn't chase after Luffy anymore, right?"

After all, Luffy had already managed to get his cone-shaped head back, so it was kind of a favor that he received by accident.

Under these circumstances, the chances of the old man continuing to chase Luffy are slim.

Of course, if he still doesn't know what's good for him, they wouldn't mind killing him right here.

Then, Xi Yan turned his attention to the big screen, where the host had begun announcing the champions of each region and the list of the Donquixote Family members participating in the competition.

"Now, there are three people qualified to challenge the Donquixote Family's executives!" the host shouted. "The first is the winner of Group A, the champion from the Blackbeard Pirates —Gizas Burgess!!!"

"Profound!!!"

The audience cheered immediately upon hearing this, their expressions filled with excitement.

With such a strong person participating in the finals, it's bound to be incredibly exciting!

"The second winner is Bartolomeo the Cannibal, captain of the Barto Club Pirates!" the host continued.

"Tch..."

Upon hearing that the second name was Bartolomeo, the audience immediately expressed their disdain, clearly indicating their strong dislike for Bartolomeo.

"You don't seem to be very popular," Cavendish said, glancing at Bartolomeo.

This guy is somewhat disliked by everyone.

Bartolomeo, however, didn't care at all.

"I don't care about their opinions or views at all," Bartolomeo said calmly. "Because I don't need to care about them."

They're just a bunch of trash, living like maggots, not worth paying any attention to.

I really don't understand you.

Cavendish shook his head, clearly unable to understand Bartolomeo's words.

How could anyone not care what others think of them?

After all... it feels really great to be the center of attention!

And hearing the cheers made it even better!

'I bet there will be cheers like that when I win the D Area championship.'

Thinking of this, Cavendish help but laugh, a very happy laugh.

But as he laughed, he couldn't laugh anymore because he heard another introduction about Luffy.

"The last one is the Dark Horse who just won in C Area —Gladiator Lucy!!!" the host shouted loudly, "This person is also qualified to challenge the authority of the Donquixote Family!"

"Profound!!!"

"Lucy!"

"Lucy!"

"Lucy!"

Upon hearing that it was Lucy who was introduced, the audience's expressions became excited once again.

That battle just now was truly spectacular!

So... they're really looking forward to the next match!

The host was very satisfied with the reactions of these people, and then continued, "Now, there is only one spot left in the finals. Whoever wins in D Area will be the last one!"

"That person must be me," Cavendish said without hesitation.

After he kills that bastard Lucy, he'll go participate in the D Area competition and become the D Area champion!

In this way... he can get everyone's attention!

Thinking about this, Cavendish even blushed with excitement.

Bartolomeo:???

Why is that blond guy blushing?

Although he didn't know what was going on, Bartolomeo, who was naturally at odds with blond hair, still spoke up, "Let's talk about it after you win the D Area championship."

Cavendish thought he was saying that the chance to kill the Straw Hat would only come after they entered the arena.

So he said, "Killing him doesn't need to go through all that trouble."

"I told you, I won't let you kill him," Bartolomeo said again.

"Dare to get in my way, and I'll kill you too."

"I'm so scared~"

"Hehehehehe."

In the end, Bartolomeo couldn't help but laugh again, his expression somewhat mocking.

Cavendish didn't actually try to cut Bartolomeo, since the guy's Devil Fruit ability was a bit troublesome. Cutting him would not only be a waste of time, but could also lead to him being disqualified and expelled from the Fighting Arena by the staff, so he decided against it.

With that in mind, Cavendish stopped paying much attention to the guy.

'Why do I feel a little annoyed by his green hair?' Cavendish muttered to himself as he stared at the playing field.

Is it just my imagination?

Rebecca, on the other hand, looked at the competition field with a complicated expression. Did this mean that all her opponents this time were such formidable individuals?

It seems that obtaining the Diamond Fruit will not be an easy task.

No matter how difficult it is, he will get his hands on the Diamond Fruit!

After all... this is her only chance to defeat Doflamingo!

"There's one more thing."

The host, who had just received the news, picked up the microphone and continued, "Due to the destruction of the competition venue, it will take fifteen minutes to replace it. The competition cannot continue temporarily. Please be patient."

"What?"

"Do we really have to wait?"

The audience was immediately unhappy; how could such an exciting match take so long to continue?

This is so annoying!

However, they also knew that there was no point in forcing it now, since changing to a backup arena would take time, so they could only continue to wait.

"Then hurry up!"

"Quickly bring up the spare ring for the match!" the audience shouted.

"Please be patient, everyone," the host reassured them. "It'll be done soon."

He was also looking forward to the upcoming matches, but the problem was, looking forward to them was useless.

Changing to a backup ring also takes time, so we can only wait.

Seeing that the host had already said that, they couldn't say anything more and could only give up shouting.

Then, they turned to their friends and started discussing the battle they had just witnessed.

They chatted about... who would be the champion of this competition!

I think it's Burgess!

I think it's Lucy!

"Doesn't anyone mention Bartolomeo?"

This remark immediately caused an awkward silence.

Then, one person said, "Don't talk about this trash."

"That's true."

Hahahaha.
