At this moment, on B1 of the palace, Luffy and Violet were fleeing at high speed. The stone beneath their feet kept twisting, while rocks reached out from every direction to grab them. Luffy smashed them apart again and again as they flew at him.
"No matter which way we go, it's a dead end!" Luffy couldn't help complaining.
"I told you, didn't I? Pica can control this stone palace however he wants." Violet ran as fast as she could, panting as she glanced back and asked Luffy, "Is Straw Hat really going to be okay?"
"Ah, Zoro? Don't worry about him," Luffy said without the slightest concern.
A huge pile of rocks blocked their path again. Luffy shattered them all with a punch. "Zoro can handle any opponent!" Luffy declared confidently.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the palace's B1 area, Zoro had just finished cutting down a huge number of stone statues!
Over at the Corrida Coliseum, Rebecca and Lu Yu's side.
Rebecca raised the sword in her hands and slashed straight at Diamante, but Diamante effortlessly blocked her attack.
"How astonishing! Rebecca, who has never taken the initiative to attack, actually made the first move!" Rebecca gripped her sword tightly with both hands, while Diamante held his with only a light grasp. Their swords clashed, and Rebecca was at a disadvantage.
"What kind of lousy sword is that? It doesn't even have a blade! The arena is a place where people kill each other. Since you can't cut anyone, then bleed yourself! That's the only way the audience will get excited!"
Then Diamante took an ornament from one hanging off his belt. "Restore!" In an instant, the ornament turned into a gigantic spiked iron hammer. He raised it overhead, ready to smash Rebecca, who froze in shock!
