"Wow, what a huge fish!" Luffy exclaimed.
"These are sea fish, right? Why would there be sea fish in an oasis in the desert?" Usopp shouted.
It seems that seeing sea fish in the desert was something he found hard to accept.
"Idiot, who told you that all the lakes in the desert are freshwater lakes?" Nami rolled her eyes and said.
"Also, don't speak so loudly next time, it's so noisy."
"Isn't that right? I always thought that lakes in the desert were freshwater lakes."
Sanji, who had been silent all along, stared at the giant black-backed fish that was over ten meters long, his eyes Light Emission with excitement.
Just as everyone else was sighing, Sanji kicked away a piece of dead wood he was standing on.
The piece of dead wood flew towards the lake with a whoosh, striking the unsuspecting giant fish and causing it to stumble.
The dead tree did not pierce the giant fish's scales; instead, it bounced back from the impact.
Sanji himself leaped into the air, performed a beautiful turn in mid-air, and landed precisely on the dead tree. Using the momentum, he kept the tree still in the lake, bobbing up and down.
These movements were fluid and graceful, extremely beautiful.
Ling Yi was astonished; was Sanji really that strong?
To achieve what Sanji, one needs not only immense strength, but also precise control and predictive abilities comparable to superpowers.
This is talent; it cannot be achieved through training alone.
At this moment, Sanji made his next move. He raised one leg, assuming a side kick stance, and then kicked the air.
Just as Ling Yi thought the opponent was about to use the Legend Tempest Kick, he saw Sanji tilt his body and, using the momentum of the side kick, actually spin his body.
While rotating twice, the tree used the momentum from its feet to move the dead tree forward by half a meter.
That half meter was precisely what placed the giant fish's head within Sanji's attack range.
Immediately afterwards, the right leg that had been spinning slammed into the giant fish's head.
"Bang! Boom!"
The ten-meter-long fish was kicked out of the water, arced through the air, and crashed onto the shore.
Sanji gracefully retracted his right leg, paused on the dead tree, slightly bent his knee, and jumped back to the group with unparalleled Xiaosa.
"Wow, Sanji, you're amazing!" Luffy clapped his hands and exclaimed in admiration.
Sanji ignored him and went to the giant fish. He took out a kitchen knife from somewhere and began to process the ingredients as if no one else was there.
Even Ling Yi had to applaud and admire Sanji; this move was truly outstanding.
An hour later, everyone was enjoying the food Sanji had prepared.
" Sanji, my One Piece ship is short of a cook, and I think you're perfectly capable of doing the job."
Luffy patted his round belly and extended an invitation to Sanji.
To be honest, not to mention Luffy, even Ling Yi greatly admires Sanji's cooking skills.
If he had a chef like that by his side, he would never lack delicious food.
Sanji seemed not to hear Luffy's words, but instead squatted quietly on a blue stone, staring blankly at the lake.
"If you don't refuse, I'll take that as a yes, haha. Congratulations to our One Piece crew for successfully recruiting an excellent cook."
This shameless personality... I must say, no wonder he's called a rubber man, his skin is incredibly thick!
" Luffy, Nami, Sanji, and that mysterious kid... more people are coming, and they all seem really powerful."
As the observer, Usopp was constantly watching the surroundings.
At the edge of the desert, a cloud of sand rose as five figures raced at breakneck speed.
The dust that rose up was stirred up by their Keep Running.
Ling Yi's eyes lit up. "How nostalgic! It's another group of familiar faces."
"You know him?" Nami asked, appearing beside Ling Yi without him noticing.
"I know him, but I don't know him."
This statement is absolutely true. Ling Yi does indeed know them very well; he knows them inside and out. Ling Yi can describe the armor each of them wears and their skills in great detail.
But he only knew him from television when he was a child.
"Speaking of which, having traveled to so many worlds, it seems I've never actually traveled to this one, not even to a fanfiction world."
Am I not worthy to go, or is the Uncle not worthy to write?
"If you know someone, you know them; if you don't, you don't. Speaking so mysteriously, you're definitely not a good person."
Are you judging me as a bad person based on this?
"Thank you!" Ling Yi was too lazy to explain, after all, they had only met once, and it was uncertain whether they would meet again in the next event.
Whether they will be able to participate in the next match is also unknown.
The duel arena has been changed to a higher-level Map this time, and Ling Yi had a rough idea of what was going on.
One of the Guji continued the previous topic and asked, "Are there several duel arenas in this second level?"
" Guji, yes!"
"It's not just the second level, the third level is the same. It's not accurate to say there are several levels; it should be described as having many layers."
"I don't know exactly how many floors there are, Guji. The highest I've ever been to is the third floor. I don't dare go any higher. The Dou Zhe there are all incredibly strong."
"Any Dou Zhe could just come out and blow me away."
"So, the numbers displayed above our heads earlier only represent the number of remaining worlds on this level?"
"No, this is the total number of remaining worlds."
Ling Yi nodded. That made sense. What he had previously learned about the rules of the dueling arena was too one-sided.
Too many implicit rules are not explicitly stated.
It's unclear whether this was intentional on the part of the greater world's will, or simply an oversight.
If this was done intentionally, then that would be interesting.
Ling Yi felt a strange sense of anticipation.
At this moment, the other party had reached the edge of the oasis and stopped about Wu Bai away from Ling Yi and his group, watching their direction Ling Yi.
The five Xiaoqiang Saint! Back when I watched Saint, I dreamed of owning a Saint Cloth like that.
Even though they are still Bronze Saint, they are undeniably handsome.
If Saint and One Piece were to actually fight, wouldn't it be a crushing defeat?
"Haha, finally we can have a good fight!" Luffy swaggered over to the front of the group.
He rubbed his hands together, looking ready to get down to business.
"These guys are all very strong, Luffy. Don't forget to buy Resurrection Coin," Nami reminded him.
Luffy waved casually, then pointed at the other side and said, "My name is Luffy, and I'm a man who's about to become the One Piece. Who are you?"
Opposite them, in the center position, was Seiya of Pegasus, clad in his Bronze Pegasus Cloth, his eyes burning with fervor and madness.
"Stop Saori, kill her!" Seiya shouted to his friends, raising his right hand high.
"For Saori!" x4!
"Ugh, starting a fight right off the bat, isn't that incredibly rude?" Luffy said, pursing his lips.
Seiya stepped on golden light and leaped into the air, unleashing his signature move.
"Pegasus, Meteor Fist!"
"Gum- Gum-Gum Pistol!" Luffy, too, stepped on golden light and flew directly into the sky.
Pegasus Meteor Fist is Pegasus Meteor Fist, but Luffy's Gum-Gum Pistol is covered with a layer of golden light.
Ling Yi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
This is the second stage of the Duel Arena, a chaotic battleground within the Myriad Worlds Dueling Arena.
These Dou Zhe not only possess immense power, but they can also use gold coins to purchase elemental abilities, mental skills, various equipment, and item cards.
In that case, it seems like there won't be any so-called one-sided matches anymore.
As expected, Seiya and Luffy faced off, and ultimately neither side could gain the upper hand.
The Pegasus Meteor Fist is known for its speed, but Luffy's Gum-Gum Pistol is also quite fast.
Sanji faced off against Phoenix Ikki. Crimson Huoyan blazed fiercely, and the phantom of Phoenix loomed behind him. Compared to Seiya, Ikki exuded a more imposing aura.
Nami was the Ikki.
" Phoenix Wings Soaring!"
A Huoyan rose from behind Ikki, carrying terrifying energy and intense heat, transforming into a crimson streak that hurtled towards Nami.
" Shield of Ice, Flower of Ice Arrows!"
Although Nami was somewhat flustered, her skills were not slowed down at all. With one hand, she condensed a thick Shield of Ice, and with the other hand, she fired dozens of Cold Ice Arrow.
The Cold Ice Arrow traced an arc in the air, bypassing the crimson streaks of light, and instead of colliding with them head-on, it aimed directly at Ikki's main body.
This wasn't the end. Nami pushed the Cold Ice Shield that was floating in front of her forward and whispered, " Cold Ice Shield of the Myriad Flowers Cold Ice Shield!"
The Cold Ice Shield, which originally had only one side, instantly unfolded, as if half of it had melted away, transforming from a single Ice Shield into a six-sided Ice Shield.
It looked like a snowflake magnified countless times, directly blocking Ikki's Phoenix Wings Soaring.
Clearly, Nami's mastery of water-based abilities is quite high.
On Ikki's side, seeing the incoming Ice Arrow, he remained calm. He spread his left hand, and a shield of Huoyan instantly condensed, blocking the attack of the Ice Arrows.
The two fought to a standstill in their first skill-based duel.
On the other side, the Heavenly Dragon of the Shiryu faced off against the little reindeer Chopper.
Before Chopper Transformation, although he looks adorable, he makes the most noise of everyone.
" Chopper, Chopper, Advent of Ten Thousand Trees!" Chopper raised his two little hooves and activated his Wood-Element Ability.
Instantly, the ground around the Shiryu dragon rumbled, and countless plants sprouted from the ground, forming a forest in the blink of an eye, even covering the entire oasis.
Chopper's Wood-Element Ability ability level is definitely not low; it's probably at least level one or two hundred.
The Shiryu tried to take flight to find the highest Field of Vision, but its feet were bound by countless vines that appeared out of nowhere.
" Mount Lu Rising Dragon Force!" Shiryu also unleashed his ultimate move.
A green dragon of light was released from between his hands, wreaking havoc and instantly shattering a large area of surrounding vegetation.
But these plants seem to be an endless source; the moment they are shattered, new ones automatically grow back.
The two were also locked in a stalemate.
Sanji faced off against Cygnus Hyoga, and while Sanji was at a disadvantage, it wasn't significant.
Sanji used a metal-type ability, his body enveloped in a layer of golden light, as he nimbly dodged Hyoga's release of a large number of magnificent Ice Cone.
If they really can't avoid it, they'll condense a golden shield to withstand the attack, seemingly putting them at a disadvantage.
Usopp, on the other hand, had long ago used Earth Release to hide underground.
Fairy, too lazy to bother with the ground rat, set her sights on Ling Yi Ling Yi headed straight for him...
