Yuyuko and Mina were walking on the road outside Kuja City, led by Hancock and Kona, followed closely by Sonia and Mary.
The female warriors around them all backed away from this group of people.
There was awe, admiration, and a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Are they them? Warriors who came back from outside and were cursed by monsters."
"And that one, the most despicable warrior."
"Who are the two girls behind them? Why don't I remember them?"
"They~ are said to be the sisters of that despicable warrior. I heard they have been living with the monster sisters on the beach in the west." As she said this, the female warrior suddenly took a step back. "Since they are here too, then... …”
"Their goal will only be that."
"Arena."
…
"Speaking of which, I was very confused the last time I came here." Yuyuko, the Amazon Lily Warrior who looked at the surrounding unfriendly eyes, asked in confusion, "Why do I feel that they hate us?"
Kona's serious smile showed a trace of arc, "It's not just disgust~" "They~ are also afraid of us~"
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go to the arena first." He said and knocked the red sea snake that tilted its head next to him. "I didn't allow you to look around, Lili."
Sea Snake trembled when he heard this and looked straight ahead.
The Amazon lily sea snake is a special species. This sea snake can transform its body into an extremely hard form. It can not only be used as a stick in some cases, but also as a temporary bow and arrow.
However, this kind of sea snake is very friendly to the female warriors of Amazon Lily. Generally, as long as they can be caught in the forest under Amazon Lily, after a certain period of contact, these sea snakes can perfectly cooperate with the actions of the warriors, and often only need to make a wave. Or by pulling the bow, they will change into corresponding forms to help in the battle.
This convenient function instantly made Kona, who was born as a hunter, fall in love at first sight.
And Lili was caught and trained by Kona from the jungle by the sea more than half a year ago.
Since Kona and the others were brought back by Emperor Viviya, and were accompanied by the previous emperor Boya Groliosa, the method of training and cultivating sea snakes was naturally easy to come by.
Even if the two of them don't tell Kena, then Hancock and the three locals will not deliberately not tell Yuyuko and the others.
In fact, in addition to Kona, Mina also raised a pink sea snake named Roya, but because Mina was not strong enough, it could not bring much help in combat.
As for Youyouzi...
That's a snake! It's a snake! It’s super scary, isn’t it?
Youyuko felt like she would get goosebumps whenever she touched her...
Moreover, Yuyuko didn't understand how such a sea snake would improve her combat. If there was a sea snake similar to the sea snake Samero that Hancock later owned, it would be possible.
Of course, it's just a possibility. After all, the indifference towards snakes was Yuyouzi's psychological conflict that existed before she traveled through time.
However, after staying in Amazon Lily for a long time, Yuyuko also understood that these sea snakes were not actually dangerous.
Soon Kona and Hancock brought Yuyuko to the arena. The two sturdy female warriors above were fighting back and forth with their fists and feet constantly waving.
Suddenly, a tall and well-proportioned warrior stood in front of everyone. She had short red hair and held a pipe in her hand. She looked seriously at the "Three Monster Sisters" Hancock and Kona who were walking towards them. And the most despicable warrior, didn’t I say that you are not allowed to come here again?”
Maya Brett is the warrior captain of this generation of Amazon Lily. While maintaining law and order, she is also responsible for maintaining the stability of the arena.
Hancock and Kona who appeared in front of her were the people she least wanted to see in the past six months.
Hancock, who possesses the ability of Sweet Fruit, always gives his opponents some petrified wounds on his body during battles. Such wounds cannot be eliminated through normal recuperation, and Hancock can only remove them himself.
And her two sisters can transform into two huge monster snakes, just like real monsters.
Therefore, these three seventeen-year-old sisters are also called the Three Argonne Monster Sisters.
Although the three Hancock sisters told their stories about their experiences and were guaranteed by the irresponsible emperor who returned to Amazon Lily together, Maya Brett could not give a good look to the three sisters.
People always have a certain fear and disgust for unknown things.
The three Hancocks were pretty good, but the one that she couldn't accept the most was the fifteen-year-old girl Kona Miloti. This was a guy who didn't follow warrior etiquette at all. He kept avoiding frontal battles and using He uses all kinds of destructive moves and has been doing this since he participated in the gladiatorial competition. All the warriors hate this bad guy who can only attack people sneakily.
From the perspective of Amazon Lily's warriors, the arena is like a beauty pageant, and Kona's despicable fighting method is like cheating in an upright beauty pageant.
Even though her strength has been recognized by everyone, no one agrees with her behavior.
Therefore, Mayabrette was completely unable to have any affection for these four people.
"What are you thinking~ The opponents here can no longer meet my fighting needs. I am here just to let my two younger sisters come over for a gladiatorial competition." As she spoke, Kona turned away to reveal Yuyuko and Mina behind her. "The two of them wanted to have a fierce battle like a duel, so I brought them here."
Only then did Mayabrett realize that behind Hancock and Kona, there were two short bodies in front of Sonia and Mary.
"That's it~" Yamabright breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as these two guys don't come to cause trouble, it will be fine.
But even though she thought so, Mayabrette still added, "I hope it won't be a despicable warrior like you. When will you be able to fight in the most beautiful way like a warrior."
Kona smiled and said lightly, "Hunters never care about despicable means. Hunters only care about whether they can kill their prey, that's all."
Hancock glanced at Kona indifferently, "Haha, you are a boring and indifferent hunter. But your strength can barely be regarded as a kind of beauty."
"Don't quarrel with me~" Maya Brett's words were filled with anger. "Since you are not here for the gladiatorial competition, then just go to the audience and watch. By the way, tell your sisters about this gladiatorial arena. Rules of combat."
"Now, come back to the audience." After speaking, Mayabrett stared at several people with vicious eyes.
Kona smiled faintly and walked slowly past Maya Brett. "Yuyuko, Mina, come with me. Before the gladiatorial match, I will tell you some rules of the gladiatorial arena."
As she said that, Kona suddenly turned around and glared, "Hey, rigid woman, why are you following me here?"
Mayabrette glanced at Kona indifferently, "I'm monitoring you, and I hope you won't tell your sisters some of the rules you misinterpreted.
I don't want two despicable warriors to appear in the arena. "
She stared at Mayabrett quietly and sighed, "If you want to monitor her, then monitor her. As long as you don't mind the trouble, I don't mind."
The rules of the arena are actually not complicated.
After Kona's explanation, Youyouzi summarized it into three core points.
First point, although the gladiatorial arena is called a gladiatorial arena, under normal circumstances this is a place where people fight for their lives, although people usually do not die. However, you need to bear the cost of treatment after the injury. But even so, the arena is still very dangerous, because there are deep pits surrounding the arena, and there are dense barbs inside. As long as you accidentally fall into it, you will be seriously injured if you don't die.
Secondly, there are regulations regarding the fairness of the arena. Both parties discuss the use of weapons themselves. Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to use the same weapons for fighting.
The last thing is how to challenge.
Challenges are divided into active challenges and passive challenges. Taking the initiative to challenge is the main means of challenge for those female warriors who have no record. As long as some female warriors express their intention to continue fighting after winning the gladiatorial battle, then at this time, these new female warriors who have no record can go up and challenge on their own. . If multiple people challenge at the same time, only the first person to jump out will be selected.
The passive challenge is more for those fighters whose strength has been recognized by everyone. Every day, Maya Brett will select the currently available female warriors and arrange a gladiatorial fight by drawing lots. After each drawn game is over, lots will be drawn again and a new round will be held the next day.
However, because this process will be accompanied by active challenges from time to time, the time for passive challenges is generally very uncertain.
"Well, these rules are not difficult to understand."
Yuyuko nodded, "It's very simple. If we win and want to fight, we will go up and fight with them. Once we become famous, we can wait for arrangements. And after being arranged, if we don't fight enough, we can keep fighting."
Mina nodded, "Sounds interesting."
"..." The corner of Ke Na's mouth twitched. "Your statement... forget it, the general meaning is the same. This answer is indeed quite solid."
"But." As she spoke, Kona raised a finger and looked at each other with Yuyuko, her eyes full of seriousness. "Yuyuko promised me not to use the fruit's ability. Even if you have experienced domineering power, don't use it." , only by forcing yourself into a desperate situation can you awaken your armed Haki as quickly as possible." "And as long as you complete the awakening... the rest will be simple."
"Why...I understand." Yuyuko swallowed the words as soon as they came to her lips. Although Yuyuko didn't react at first, she immediately understood what Kona meant.
Although Yuyuko has been doing physical training with everyone in the past year, Yuyuko actually spends more time testing her fruit abilities, so although Yuyuko now has one, it is pretty good physical strength, but what he really relies on is still his fruit ability.
After a year of dedicated development, Yuyuko's fruit ability is no longer what it was when Yuyuko just took off the sea tower stone pendant, just like yesterday's battle between Yuyuko and Rayleigh.
Although Yuyuko seems to be very strong, she basically relies on her fruit abilities. Yuyuko tried her best to avoid some of the easy-to-predict shortcomings of the Kamaita fruit. However, what is needed to awaken the armed haki is not a stronger fruit ability, but a real existential battle.
Therefore, in order to awaken the armed haki as quickly as possible, Yuyuko must temporarily put aside the fruit ability and only rely on the combat skills she has learned this year to fight, and then normalize herself in the battle to awaken the armed haki. .
After thinking everything through, Yuyouzi nodded slowly, "I understand."
Then Yuyuko stood up and walked towards the competition platform in the center, with an excited smile on her face, "I'm so lucky. I just learned the rules and there is already someone waiting for me to challenge."
