Meanwhile, Xie Wen and his party followed Monet ahead to the Bullfighting Colosseum, which had been built right beside the Royal Palace.
The colosseum looked almost exactly like the ancient Roman Colosseum on Earth, except that the one on Earth was elliptical, while Dressrosa's was perfectly circular.
In addition, because of the exaggerated individual strength in the One Piece world, the Bullfighting Colosseum covered a much larger area. To make the matches bloodier and more exciting, Doflamingo had also placed large numbers of small Fighting Fish in the seawater surrounding the ring, where they would pursue losers who fell out.
Under the normal procedure, contestants were supposed to first go to the preparation room inside the colosseum to choose the equipment they needed and wait for their turn.
But Xie Wen and the others naturally had no need for such trouble and were taken straight to the VIP Box on the top level.
An ordinary match was currently underway in the ring. Xie Wen casually glanced at it, found that he did not recognize the contestants and that their strength was nothing special, then looked away. The Little Furball Cats and Shirahoshi, who had been getting into plenty of fights lately, watched the battle with considerable interest instead.
"Please wait here for a moment, everyone. Arranging the match will take a little time. I'll have someone bring over some refreshments first."
Monet bowed slightly, then left the VIP Box.
"Shalmy, sorry for the trouble with what comes next."
Xie Wen rubbed the little forest cat's head.
"Got it, meow~"
(=ω=)
Shalmeow narrowed her eyes and nuzzled Xie Wen's palm, then vanished in a flash of lightning.
