Dressrosa, the famous country of "love and passion" in the new world.
Dressrosa is a tropical island located in the middle of the New World.
It is mid-April now, and the daytime temperature in Dressrosa is as high as 38°C. The climate here is different from the unpredictable changes in other places in the New World. The climate here is stable and it is a standard tropical monsoon climate.
There are long summers and no winters, abundant rainfall, three-season crops, and abundant vegetables for all seasons.
The huge temperature difference between day and night makes Dressrosa's fruits unique in the New World and are exported to other islands in the New World.
Abundant material conditions and a good foreign trade system allow the people of Dressrosa to live a prosperous life.
On this basis, Dressrosa also gave birth to a prosperous culture. When people are wealthy, citizens have more money to spend on things other than food and housing.
Therefore, Dressrosa's catering, clothing and other industries are unprecedentedly prosperous, and even gave birth to a large sales treasury like the Arena. Also because of sufficient wealth, girls here do not have to rely on men for survival. The confidence brought by wealth allows girls to choose the man of their choice.
The "love" of the country of "love and passion" comes from the unrestrained girls here in Dressrosa, and the passion comes from the blood-spraying "fighting arena".
"Dressrosa is a member of the World Government."
"After the Don Quixote family abandoned their citizens and entered the Holy Land of Marinjoa, the Riku family became the new royal family here."
"The current King of Riku, Riku Dold III, has been in office for more than ten years and has done a very good job."
"I'm afraid Dressrosa is the only one who can still live like this despite paying heavenly gold to support those scum in the Holy Land."
Garp's warship docked at the east coast port of Dressrosa. A long wooden ladder was lowered from the ship. Garp was wearing a floral shirt and a pair of large black pants. He was dragging his slippers while walking along the wooden ladder. After getting off the boat, he introduced the basic situation of Dressrosa to Enichi and Aoki behind him.
Compared with the officers and soldiers wearing navy uniforms behind Garp, Garp, the leading lieutenant general, didn't look like he was on a mission at all, but rather like he was on vacation.
Yuanyi and Qingzhi have also changed their clothes. It's so hot that they can't wear long sleeves. Enichi didn't have much clothes, so he bought a short-sleeved sailor uniform from other sailors with "雑 service" written on the back.
He wanted to wear Niu Qingzhi's clothes, but Qingzhi's clothes were too big...
As for Aokiji, he himself has a summer uniform.
"Let's go to the branch first and see if they have any latest news about Roger."
"Bogart, deploy some people to guard various ports, pay close attention to the ships coming and going, and pay special attention to pirate ships."
"Oh, by the way, Kuzan, Yuanyi, you two don't have to follow me."
"It's your first time coming to Dressrosa. Let's have some fun. Now, Kuzan, bring the phone bug with you. I'll call you if anything happens."
As Garp spoke, he took out a phone bug from his arms and threw it to Qing Zhi behind him. When the other sailors behind Garp heard this, they all showed envy, but they were not dissatisfied because of the "special treatment" received by Aokiji and Enichi.
Aokiji himself came to Garp's ship to study. He is not qualified to command the officers and soldiers on Garp's ship. He mostly observes and helps occasionally when he encounters pirates. But in essence, Aokiji is not Garp's subordinate. At best, he is just a fanboy who admires Garp.
As for Tsukoku Enichi, he is not even a navy now...
"Lieutenant General Garp, isn't this good?" Qingzhi took the call and smiled sheepishly.
He is afraid of bad influence...
"Long-winded."
"It's not your turn to dictate what I do."
Garp pinched his nose and said casually. Upon hearing this, Qingzhi quickly put the phone bug into his arms, patted Yuanyi on the back, and said happily: "Let's go, it's rare to have a holiday again."
After entering the town of Dressrosa, Enichi and Aokichi separated from Garp and the others. Garp's destination was the branch, but Aokiji and Enichi had no destination. After entering the city, wherever there was excitement, Where to gather.
"Well, our clothes are too conspicuous, let's go change first."
After walking on the street for a while, Qingzhi suddenly found that he and Yuanyi always attracted the attention of passers-by. He lowered his head and looked at his clothes, and Qingzhi immediately took Yuanyi to a clothing store.
When the two came out again, the navy uniforms had been changed. Qing Zhi changed into a green shirt on his upper body, which was buttoned only three or four holes in his abdomen, leaving his chest exposed. He was wearing large red pants on his lower body, and the military boots on his feet were replaced by slippers.
Ji Guoyuan, who was next to him, dressed more conservatively. He changed into a white round-neck T-shirt, a pair of large zebra-print pants, and his military boots were replaced by flip-flops.
The clothes and shoes the two of them had changed into turned into two bags, which they held in their hands.
Although they have changed their attire, Yuanyi and Qingzhi still attract the attention of passers-by from time to time when they walk on the street.
It's not because the two of them have a "tyrannical" air about them.
The color combination of Aokiji’s clothes is really too eye-catching.
Red and green, it’s a dog-shit race.
God knows why this idiot Aokiji matched up like this.
However, Qingzhi was completely unaware of this. He thought it was because Yuanyi next to him was holding a knife with a cold face...
Dressrosa is rich in products and has an extremely prosperous food culture. Therefore, Aokiji and Yuan Yi had not walked far, and their hands were already full of snacks, snacks, and drinks.
"Now, Kuzan, let's go there and have a look."
"It looks like an arena."
After walking and eating for a long time, the two of them entered the center of the town. An oval-shaped building appeared in Jiguo Yuanyi's sight.
This is the most famous arena in Dressrosa. The exterior wall of the arena is made of limestone and bluestone. It has a light yellow appearance and is slightly mottled, giving it a solemn and ancient feel.
The arena is about 500 meters long, 350 meters wide, and nearly 50 meters high. There are countless arches on the entire oval building, and it is extremely lively with people coming and going.
The appearance of this bidding arena is similar to the Roman Colosseum in Yuanyi's memory, but the area is much larger.
The fact that Dressrosa can support this kind of sales treasury shows the economic strength of this country.
"Oh! Is that the arena of Dressrosa?"
"I've always heard Lieutenant General Garp say it, but I've never seen it before."
"Go and have a look."
The young Qingzhi also had a lively temperament. At this time, he also saw the oval building pointed by Yuan Yi, and immediately agreed, leading the way towards the arena.
...
After buying the tickets, Aokiji and Enichi entered the venue. As soon as they entered, they were stunned by the sight in front of them. Inside the oval arena are terraced stands, large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
In the center, there is a ring, and two "warriors" are fighting at this time. Around the ring is a circular inland river, and from time to time there are ferocious fighting fish, either showing their heads or revealing their terrifying dorsal fins.
As the battle situation in the ring went up and down, the deafening cheers crazily stimulated the eardrums of Yuanyi and Qingzhi.
"Oh~"
"It's really spectacular!"
This was the first time Qingzhi saw such a scene, and he couldn't help but exclaimed. He felt his blood surge, and his eyes showed deep excitement.
The cheers that resounded through the sky made Yuan Yi's blood boil, let alone a young man like Qing Zhi.
As soon as the two found their seats and sat down, the battle in the field had already come to an end. A warrior wearing heavy armor was exhausted and was knocked to the ground by his opponent. He couldn't get up for a long time.
The victorious warriors shouted and waved their spears.
The defeated fighter was dragged off the ring, and the victorious fighter also left the ring after receiving applause and cheers from the crowd. At this time, the host's high-pitched voice came out through the speaker
"The next step is the battle you have been waiting for!"
"We invite you to Dressrosa, the strongest sword fighter, Cyrus, who has won 440 consecutive battles."
"His opponent! He is Rachel Mullan, known as the violent sea bear, who has won 81 battles!"
"Sa! Both parties are invited to appear!!!"
As the host finished speaking, the cheers in the stadium were louder than before. Everyone looked at the passage on one side of the ring and shouted the name "Cyrus" in unison.
"Cyrus!"
"Cyrus!"
