An Excited Bartolomeo, Sunglasses Senior!

"He jumped into the air again?"

Rollinger Logan glanced at Rebecca in the air and said with a sneer, "Such petty tricks won't work on me!"

As he spoke, Rolling Logan stretched out his massive hand and reached for Rebecca. If he could grab her this time, he would crush her body without hesitation!

However, to his surprise, Rebecca did not cut off his palm this time. Instead, she used the side of her sword to press down on his palm and used the rebound force to forcefully pass over his head. At the same time, she also caused him to gradually lose his balance and stagger forward.

"A great opportunity!"

Rebecca's eyes flashed as she looked up at Rolling Logan from behind. Without hesitation, she stabbed Rolling Logan's raised heel with her sword, causing him to lose his balance and run uncontrollably toward the edge of the ring.

Finally... he burst out of the ring!

"Varied...?!"

Looking at the water so close at hand, Rollinger Logan was dumbfounded.

He was actually sent outside the ring by this woman in such a way?

"Asshole!"

He only had time to utter a curse before plunging into the water, resulting in his elimination.

"Oh my god!"

The host stared in shock at the scene and exclaimed, "Rebecca actually pulled off a comeback and defeated Rolling Logan?!"

"It's astonishing that she managed to defeat this man using such a method."

He was genuinely shocked.

It's fair to say that Rebecca has taken her unique fighting style to the extreme this time.

Even he had to offer some praise to the other person.

But the audience had a different idea; they didn't want to see Rolling Logan defeated.

"Damn it, this isn't the scene we wanted!"

"Rollinger Logan, you piece of trash!"

"Rebecca, why haven't you been defeated yet!"

Seeing the girl panting heavily on the competition stage, these guys were furious.

But Rebecca didn't pay any attention to what these guys were saying. After all, she had been hearing people talk about her ever since she stepped into the ring, so she was used to it.

"Well done." Angelia gave Rebecca a thumbs up and said, "Feigning an attack to draw out his move, and then using that momentum to send him into the water... You really lived up to your reputation."

As Angelia finished speaking, a look of emotion appeared on her face.

Who would have thought Rebecca could utilize her fighting style to this extent?

"I just happened to seize the opportunity," Rebecca said with a smile.

Just then, several gladiators rushed over from a distance, their eyes fixed on Rebecca, clearly wanting to kill this Princess of Evil and make a name for themselves.

"You two better prepare yourselves!"

"Go to hell!"

You're the ones who deserve to die!

Angelia raised her shield to block one of the men's attacks, then swung her axe so hard that she sent one of them flying.

After finishing this task, Angelia said without turning her head, "Rebecca, the crucial moment is coming up, don't relax."

After saying that, Angelia paused for a moment, then continued, "Anyway... you absolutely have to make it to the finals."

"Um!"

Rebecca nodded without hesitation, indicating that she would definitely work hard to reach the finals and win the Diamond Fruit!

Rebecca then glanced around and found no trace of Wanhao.

This puzzled Rebecca; why hadn't she seen the man?

According to Lucy, the opponent was extremely powerful, so they shouldn't have been killed as soon as they entered.

So... why didn't I see that person?

'Could it be that he never even came to participate in the D Area competition from the beginning?' Rebecca wondered.

Why?

Could something have happened during the ten-minute wait for the match?

Or perhaps... the other team is tied up with Chinjao and the others, preventing them from participating in the competition?

Thinking of this, a hint of worry appeared in Rebecca's eyes; she hoped that Lucy's companions would be alright.

Rebecca then dismissed these unnecessary thoughts, after all, now was not the time to think about such things.

The most important thing right now is to win this match.

"Die, Rebecca!" a man roared.

As he spoke, he raised his axe and charged at Rebecca, swinging the Giant Axe to strike!

Seeing this, Rebecca ducked and dodged the attack, then kicked the opponent in the shin, causing him to lose his balance and plunge headfirst into the seawater beside him.

And so, Rebecca used her unique fighting style to knock those who charged at her into the sea again and again, eliminating them!

"Well done, Rebecca!"

Watching the match, Luffy excitedly shouted, "Let's defeat them like this!"

"That's right, let's defeat them like this!"

The death row inmate gladiators cheered excitedly for Rebecca, hoping she could advance and win the championship.

Just then, the live stream camera shifted from Rebecca to Cavendish's handsome face.

Even through the screen, everyone could feel this guy's narcissism.

"Tch..."

The death row gladiators immediately showed expressions of disgust. Why was this guy making that face? So annoying!

Luffy, however, said bluntly, "Hey, stop filming that Cabbage guy! I want to cheer for Rebecca!"

Unfortunately, the director couldn't hear Luffy's voice at all, so he couldn't switch the camera to him, which made Luffy very unhappy.

"Damn it, I'm going outside to watch," Luffy said irritably. "I'm going to cheer Rebecca on through the window."

With that, Luffy turned and walked away, but Luffy just before leaving.

Then, he turned to the death row gladiators and said, "By the way, I originally thought this country was quite fun. Everyone lived in peace and contentment, and there were even fun toys."

"But when I saw you all, I felt something was off."

But if you pressed him to point out what was wrong, he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

But his intuition told him that something was wrong here.

"Ah, what you see is the glamorous world of the victors," said the death row gladiator. "Doflamingo divided people into the submissive victors and the rebellious losers."

"The defeated are like trash, destined to exist only in darkness, which is why this country appears peaceful."

And these are the things these Prisoner Gladiator had experienced before.

They... were the losers who were treated like trash.

Thinking of this, he sighed silently.

Upon hearing these words, Luffy was reminded of his memories from the garbage dump years ago.

Isn't it the same situation there?

Thinking about this, Luffy said, "It feels somewhat similar to the country where I grew up."

"Is that so?"

The Prisoner Gladiator showed a surprised expression, clearly not expecting that a strong person like Luffy would also go through such things.

However, he only thought about it for a moment and then didn't care much, since the other person's childhood experiences didn't really concern them.

He then continued, "In short... once you have doubts, you'll find this country full of incongruities."

"We can sense that there is a deeper layer of darkness, but we cannot detect what it is."

"So... you also need to be careful."

Although he didn't know if the deeper darkness could affect this powerful figure, it wouldn't hurt to do him a favor.

"I see."

Luffy nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Goodbye then.

"Ah, goodbye." The Prisoner Gladiator smiled and waved to Luffy.

After watching Luffy leave, the Prisoner Gladiator's smile gradually faded, and he said with emotion, "I hope he can help Rebecca."

Stop dreaming.

Another person sighed and said, "Don't forget, he's also after the Diamond Fruit."

Under these circumstances, can you really expect the other party to help Rebecca steal the Diamond Fruit?

Stop joking, okay?

"That's true, but..." the Prisoner Gladiator paused, then continued, "We must always have hope, mustn't we?"

Now, all they can do is hope for this to happen; otherwise... they will truly be in despair.

The others listening to the man fell silent.

Yes, what else can they do now besides cling to this hope?

"Why..."

"So, did you find Luffy or not?" Perona asked, speechless.

They've been wandering around underground for a while now, but Xi Yan hasn't found Luffy at all. What does that mean?

"It's because Luffy a rather secluded place," Xi Yan shrugged.

He could sense which area Luffy was in by his aura, but to get there, he would have to walk through the passage little by little.

As for a faster way?

Destroying this place would allow them to find Luffy quickly, but if they did that, Sabo wouldn't be able to do what he's supposed to do next.

Therefore, Xi Yan chose to use this method to find Luffy.

Perona felt a headache coming on when she heard this, but she didn't say anything more.

Just then, Bartolomeo appeared in front of them, which surprised Xi Yan.

However, considering that this guy doesn't recognize him, Xi Yan decided to bypass him and go find Luffy.

But before he could even take a step, he noticed that Bartolomeo had an incredibly excited expression on his face, and tears were streaming down his face.

"Ink... ink... ink..."

"Ink?"

Several question marks popped up above Sabo's head. What was this guy saying?

Thinking of this, Sabo was about to ask, but before he could even open his mouth, he saw Bartolomeo looking at Xi Yan excitedly and saying, "Senior Sunglasses!"

Xi Yan:???

Um?

Is this about himself?

Oh, right, his current nickname is "Sunglasses Man".

Thinking about this, Xi Yan understood.

Then, a look of doubt appeared in his eyes. How did this guy figure him out?

Could it be that my disguise isn't very effective?

"It really is you, senior in Sunglasses!" Bartolomeo walked up to Xi Yan, his body trembling, and said, "It's so good to see you!"

"Ah... Hello, hello."

Looking at Bartolomeo's excited face, Xi Yan was a little taken aback.

Isn't this guy being a little too enthusiastic?

Bartolomeo, however, did not care about Xi Yan's attitude. After all, for someone like him, being able to meet his idol was an incredible thing!

Then, he turned to look at the Little Ghost beside him and said, "Then you must be the legendary Ghost Princess Mononoke, Perona!"

Although the other party is not the same as the one on the Wanted Order, the one who can act with Sunglasses- senpai in this ghost form must be Perona- senpai!

"The legendary Ghost Princess or something..."

Perona, upon hearing Bartolomeo's words, felt somewhat embarrassed.

This surprised Xi Yan somewhat; why would this proud and aloof Ghost Princess react like this?

As if noticing Xi Yan's gaze, Perona suppressed her unnatural expression and turned to glare at Xi Yan.

That expression seemed to say: If you keep looking at me, I'm going to use Negative Ghost!

Xi Yan's lips twitched; what a troublesome fellow.

After shaking his head, Xi Yan turned to Bartolomeo and said, "By the way... how did you recognize us?"

When this guy saw Luffy just now, he recognized Luffy at first glance.

So he was very curious, how exactly did this guy recognize them?

"Because you shine in my eyes!" Bartolomeo exclaimed excitedly.

He didn't know why he could recognize his senior's identity at a glance, but he just really did.

Xi Yan:???

Perona:???

Sabo:???

What does it mean that in his eyes, the Straw Hat Pirates are shining?

What kind of identification method is this?

"So..."

Sabo hesitated for a moment, then said, "You're a fan of the Straw Hat Pirates...?"

Sabo hesitated slightly when the word "fans" came up, because he hadn't expected his younger brother to have such fans.

"That's right!"

Bartolomeo exclaimed excitedly, "I'm a fan of all of you seniors!"

As he spoke, Bartolomeo also took out the few Wanted Order he always kept in his pocket, saying, "I've always carried the Wanted Order of my predecessors with me!"

After saying that, Bartolomeo spread out the Wanted Order for everyone as if presenting a treasure, gesturing for Xi Yan and the others to take a good look.

He kept all of these Wanted Order safe.

"Although Sunglasses Man and Perona just joined the Straw Hat Pirates, I've kept your Wanted Order safe!" Bartolomeo said.

"Hala hala hala~"

"You're really funny," Perona laughed.

Xi Yan looked at the Wanted Order that represented his identity two years ago with some surprise. It clearly showed a pair of blood-red eyes.
