Chapter 525 Taunting and Counter-Taunting
Looking at the wounded soldiers still groaning in pain in front of him, Luffy said, "That Champion guy really went all out."
If these guys weren't so physically robust, that one strike would have killed them all.
"Isn't it normal for everyone to gang up on him and be a little ruthless?" west Yan said.
He didn't see anything wrong with it, after all... everyone was attacking him!
In this situation, holding back is the most foolish thing to do.
"That's true."
Just then, a man walked over and said in a playful tone, "Ha, I didn't expect to see you here."
"ha?"
Upon hearing the voice, Luffy looked at Bellamy in confusion. What was this guy saying?
"My eyes aren't just for show," Bellamy grinned. "No matter how you try to disguise yourself, I can spot your bastard face in a second."
As he spoke, Bellamy raised his hand and touched the spot where Luffy had punched him.
Although it doesn't hurt anymore, I can't forget how it felt back then!
"You...you are!"
Luffy recognized Bellamy at that moment, his expression changing as he said, "You're the guy who injured Uncle Rhombus, I remember your name is... Marlowe!"
"It's Bellamy!" Bellamy corrected.
He wasn't angry at the way the other person addressed him; after all, he wasn't the immature pirate he used to be.
"Oh, Bellamy." Luffy nodded, then asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm not a resident of Gaya, so I can go wherever I want."
As for why I'm here...
""
Bellamy paused slightly at this point, then pointed to the clown tattoo on his body and grinned, "Doflamingo is the pirate I've admired since I was a child, so I'm here to win the championship!"
If he wins this championship, he can become a member of the Don Quixote family!
At that time... his dream will come true!
Hahahaha!
"You want the Diamond-Diamond Fruit too?" Luffy frowned. "I'm not giving you the Diamond-Diamond Fruit."
"It doesn't matter, I'll beat everyone on the field and win the championship anyway," Bellamy laughed.
Looking at Bellamy's confident face, west Yan slowly narrowed his eyes.
If I remember correctly, this guy is the Spring-Spring Fruit user that Luffy and his crew defeated before they went to Skypiea.
Where does this guy get the confidence to say such things?
Could it be... that his Devil Fruit power has awakened?
Bellamy didn't pay attention to Xiyan's gaze; his gaze was fixed on Luffy the whole time.
"Straw Hat Boy, I'm not the same person I used to be," Bellamy continued. "I've been to the Sky Island you once mentioned!"
"Sky Island..."
""
"Yes." Bellamy nodded and said, "Although I lost my companion, my world has been turned upside down."
After the incident on the Sky Island, Bellamy realized how ridiculous and ignorant she had been in the past.
It's ironic that he's stuck on Gaya Island like a frog in a well, when the world is so vast.
So from that moment on, he made up his mind to live a new life!
Becoming one of Doflamingo's executives is his first step towards the new world!
Thinking of this, Bellamy grinned.
Seeing Bellamy's smile, Luffy asked with a stern face, "Hey, you didn't do anything to those guys, did you?"
"Hehe, who knows?"
After grinning at Luffy, Bellamy turned and walked towards the exit, saying, "Anyway... I don't hate you anymore."
After all that happened, Bellamy no longer held a grudge against Luffy.
After all... in a sense, he was also awakened by the other party.
Then, Bellamy paused slightly, and without turning his head, said, "The times are about to change dramatically!"
"To cross the inevitable giant wave, I will board Doflamingo's ship!"
"I... will never laugh at you again."
After saying that, Bellamy left without looking back.
Luffy didn't say anything more, and just watched the other person leave.
"Who is this guy?" west Yan asked at the opportune moment.
"He was... one of the opponents I encountered before," Luffy said. "I just wonder how those guys are doing now."
Everyone has their own destiny.
After all, Luffy can't protect those guys on Skypiea forever, so we can only leave it to their own fate.
This time, Luffy didn't say anything. He just frowned and watched Bellamy's departing figure, seemingly lost in thought.
"Alright, Luffy."
west Yan withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's go watch the matches in Zone B. After the matches here are over, it will be your turn."
Upon hearing west Yan's words, Luffy snapped out of his daze, nodded, and said, "Let's go then."
Soon, the two returned to the spot where they had been watching the game.
Surprisingly, Cavendish was also here.
Looking at the guy's back, west Yan instinctively felt that something was wrong, but Luffy just walked over as if nothing was wrong, leaving west Yan feeling helpless.
After shaking his head, west Yan strode over and followed.
"Oh, you've come," Cavendish said.
"Ah, I came to watch the game."
Luffy nodded, then looked curiously at Bartolomeo, who was being scorned by everyone on the field, and asked, "Why is everyone so angry?"
"Because he made an appearance."
"he?"
Looking at the man with fangs, Luffy asked curiously, "Who is he?"
"Captain of the Bartolo Pirate Club, Bartolomio, a cannibal."
"Cannibals?"
west Yan looked shocked and said, "This guy eats people?!"
This was the first time he had ever heard of cannibals.
"I don't know about that," Cavendish shook his head and said, "but that's what everyone's saying."
Hearing Cavendish's words, west Yan revealed a thoughtful expression.
Is it just a scary nickname, or did they actually do it?
He was a little curious.
"Hahaha~"
"Looks like everyone's really enthusiastic!"
Bartolomeo pulled a small ball that looked like a bomb from his pocket and said, "Then let me give everyone a present~"
As he spoke, he threw the bomb in his hand into the air.
The audience members who witnessed this scene all looked puzzled.
"What is this guy doing?"
"Let me see."
A robot pulled out a telescope, glanced at the sky, and then exclaimed in horror, "It's a bomb!!!"
Those who heard the other party's words immediately showed expressions of horror, and then got up and fled for their lives without hesitation.
However, because the audience seats were completely full, they were unable to escape quickly.
"Damn it, get out of the way!"
"Damn old man, are you trying to kill us by slowing down and blocking the road? Get out of the way!"
"Get out of my way, let me escape first!"
"Let me go first, I'll give you whatever money you want."
'
""
In just a few seconds, everyone vividly portrayed the essence of human nature.
Finally, the small ball, which resembled a bomb, landed in the stands, bounced a few times, and then stopped moving.
"Um?"
The crowd nearby paused for a moment after noticing this scene, then cautiously leaned over to take a look.
When they saw what it was, their expressions immediately changed.
"This is... a ball?!"
So it wasn't a bomb after all!
"It looks awful!"
"It looks awful!!"
"It looks awful!!!"
Bartolomeo's voice grew louder and louder, and the expressions of the audience became increasingly unpleasant.
They... were actually scared like this by a ball?
That's so embarrassing!
"That was a brilliant taunt, kid," Vasco da Gama laughed. "Aren't you afraid they'll hate you?"
"Ha, so be it if you hate me," Bartolomeo sneered. "After all, I don't like being liked by scum either."
In his eyes, these spectators who enjoyed watching these duels were no good either, so naturally he wouldn't be polite to them.
Vasco da Gama clearly understood what he meant, but he just smiled and didn't say anything more.
"He's still laughing." Luffy stared at the smirking Bartolomeo and said, "What a strange guy."
"See? This guy has a terrible reputation," Cavendish said, taking out a rose, sniffing it. "He's nothing like a young nobleman like me."
As he spoke, Cavendish wore a blissful expression, seemingly lost in thought.
west Yan ignored what the guy said and instead looked at Bartolomeo with a thoughtful expression.
Is this guy... mocking the audience's somewhat distorted views?
Do you think that the audience who come to watch this kind of game aren't any good people?
Haha, interesting.
"What an arrogant bastard!" the host said through gritted teeth, regaining his senses. "I hope this bastard dies in Block B."
After uttering a curse in displeasure, he picked up the microphone and shouted, "Alright, let me introduce the last contestant to appear!"
""
"This man is completely different from the madman Bartolomeo; he is a man who reveres King Doflamingo!"
"To gain His Majesty the King's approval, I brought back a massive golden pillar from a distant land to present to him, thus swearing my allegiance!"
"Afterwards, we ruthlessly destroyed those towns and countries that mocked our nation as a barbaric pirate kingdom, forcing them to surrender and making Dressrosa famous far and wide!"
"That's right, he's the Dressrosa Bomb, Bellamy, who strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies!"
"profound!!"
Upon hearing the host's introduction, the surrounding audience immediately cheered, their expressions increasingly excited.
He looked like he was seeing an idol.
"cut."
Cavendish spat, clearly displeased with the audience's reaction.
"I see, so it was an opportunity bought with a golden pillar," west Yan said, stroking his chin.
So, this guy didn't actually empty out the Golden City on the Sky Island.
That's true, since this guy is only one person, it's impossible for him to empty the entire city of gold.
Upon hearing west Yan's words, Luffy subconsciously frowned.
If we only take one golden pillar, it shouldn't hurt those people, right?
But Bellamy's attitude just now...
Thinking of this, Luffy's brows furrowed even deeper.
"Lord Bellamy!!"
"Lord Bellamy!"
The audience's enthusiasm grew even stronger as they watched the man walk onto the stage.
Bellamy enjoyed the feeling, so she opened her arms in response.
At that opportune moment, the host announced, "Today, this man has decided to use his victory to fulfill his long-cherished wish and honorably be promoted to a cadre of the Don Quixote family!"
"Bellamy!"
"Bellamy!"
"Bellamy!"
"Even though it's his home turf, that guy's popularity is just too high," Cavendish said, annoyed.
I'm getting angrier and angrier the more I look at it, damn it!
"Don't forget whose territory this is," west Yan said calmly from the side.
Although it's unclear how far Bellamy and Doflamingo have gotten together, this is, after all, Donquixote Family territory, so such a reaction is quite normal.
This time Cavendish didn't say anything, he just snorted in annoyance.
"There are so many people."
Luffy looked down excitedly and said, "If those guys are going to fight together, which one should I watch?"
Wow, there are so many amazing people here!
"You only need to look at the capable guys," Cavendish said.
Why?
"Although it's called an elimination tournament, it's really just the first round. The chances of the weak winning are almost zero, so just watch the strong guys."
In this kind of competition, the weak cannot stand until the end, so Cavendish felt there was no need to watch the weak.
"I see."
"Um."
Cavendish nodded, then said with a smile, "Let me introduce you to the people I follow."
"Really? Thanks a lot." Luffy grinned, showing his teeth.
"See that man with the boxing gloves?" Cavendish pointed to the man with the boxing gloves and said, "He is the King of Providence, Battle King Elizabello II."
"king?"
west Yan looked surprised and said, "The king of a country will actually participate in this competition?"
"After all, the reward this time is a Diamond Fruit," Cavendish chuckled.
Therefore, it is quite normal for this king to come here to participate in this competition.
"That's true."
After all, the Diamond Fruit is a Devil Fruit that even the Four Emperors are interested in, so it's quite normal for a king of a country to come here to compete for the championship.
But sorry... they won't give up this Devil Fruit!
Cavendish, unaware of west Yan's thoughts, took out another person's information and said, "See that fat guy next to him?"
"That was his strategist, Vasco da Gama."
"I've heard that this person is quite intelligent; perhaps he really can help the king win first place in the knockout stage."
the first?
west Yan shook his head. This isn't a place where you can win just by using your brain.
To win the championship in the knockout stage, fists are the only way!
