Sengoku's question made quite a few people present nod silently.
Just as described in the Original Work, Chopper and Bepo had the lowest bounties yet fought the fiercest battles.
"Teacher, where's the black mother bear you promised to find for me?" After looking around, Bepo gradually sobered up under everyone's gazes.
"Enough, we'll talk about the mother bear later. Finish the task I gave you first. I'm leaving the first battle to you, so don't disgrace me." Qin Yu smiled and patted Bepo on the shoulder before looking at Shu. "End this quickly!"
"A task?" The dissatisfaction on Bepo's face was instantly replaced by seriousness. After glancing up at the sky, he said, "Teacher, today is a good day."
"Under your targeted training, I've completely mastered that move. I was originally planning to save it for when I challenged you."
"But since you told me to end this quickly, I can only use it."
His baffling words left everyone in the arena stunned.
In their eyes, Bepo looked adorably foolish, though he did appear quite agile and nimble.
However, among the Marines, he should not have been anything special.
If he was going to gamble on a battle against Shu, who possessed Devil Fruit powers, he should have been completely outclassed.
Now, Qin Yu had suddenly sent out a mascot for the opening match. This was simply beyond their understanding.
Especially after Bepo threw out those bold words and merely raised his head to stare at the sky, utterly ignoring Shu.
The muscles in Shu's cheeks twitched uncontrollably before he roared in fury.
"Big words! Are you provoking me? Then I'd like to see how you intend to end this quickly and claim the first victory."
"Within the Marines, I understand one thing very clearly: arrogance will inevitably be defeated!"
