Kobe, take the basketball fruit to the Pirates

Chapter 30 Doubts at the gate of the city
Time flew by, and four days passed in the blink of an eye.

On July 29, there were two days before the Naqiang Order came into effect.

The capital of the Black Country, the Fortress of Fire.

The Huoshao Castle is built on the hillside, and the palace is at the highest point of the hillside, so as long as you see the big city from a distance, you can see the palace at a glance.On the contrary, after approaching, the line of sight is blocked by tall houses and city walls.

A ring was set up in front of the tall gate of the city, and there was a long queue in front of the ring, all of them came from various towns to respond to the order, among them were the two men who had just arrived, Bi Ke and Uncle Kaqiwo.

The reason for this situation is because of a decree issued by the palace some time ago.Except for those who are strong enough to participate in the Naqiang Order, the rest of the people are only allowed to leave the city and not enter the city.

Therefore, the arena for judging whether ordinary people are eligible to participate in the forced order was directly placed at the gate of the city.

"Uncle Kaqiwo, why don't you just let me in?"

Pico waited a little impatiently, casually chatting with Uncle Kaqiwo.

"Maybe there are too many people watching the excitement. After all, this Naqiang order has not appeared for almost 20 years."

Uncle Kaqiwo's guess was right, the Burning Fort is already overcrowded.

Pico shook his head and sighed, "That's right, this is the top priority of the whole country."

At this moment, there was a sudden 'bang', the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.The two knew without looking that someone had been kicked out of the ring again.

The man lay on the ground without moving for a long time, it seemed that the injury was not serious.This situation has happened many times, and the soldiers guarding the side will only lift people aside, regardless of whether they are dead or alive.

Slowly as the line of Pi Ke moved forward, he finally understood why.

I saw the strong man who just won the game, got a wooden sign in his hand, and then walked back along the line, constantly looking at everyone passing by, his appearance was more cautious than picking his wife.

Finally, the man came to Pico's side and glanced at Pico several times from top to bottom.

"Hurry up, there are still many people behind."

The soldier officer sitting on the chair not far away urged.

The man finally exchanged glances with Pico, pointed at Pico, and replied to the soldier officer, "That's him."

Peko looked puzzled, not quite understanding what it meant.

Then he heard the man explain to him in a cold voice: "You come to the stage with me to fight, as long as you win five people, you will pass the test and you can get a number plate to enter the city."

Hearing this, Pike immediately understood, good fellow, it turned out that he was singled out and pinched as a soft persimmon.

As for why he was selected, he can probably guess it with a high probability. It is probably because of his height and his lack of size.

After all, heights of more than two meters abound here.

Thinking of this, he laughed a little. He had never experienced it in his previous life, and he was chosen as the bullying target because of his short height and thin body.

This also made him understand why the officials ignored the people who were injured before. It turned out that those people were not injured by the authorities.

However, Pike still frowned. Although it was said that they were not the ones who were injured by the government, these people came with the intention of serving the country. It seemed too impersonal to do so.

In fact, he didn't know that this rule was newly changed shortly after the Naqiang Order came out this time. The previous Naqiang Orders were all made by official people, and the shots would not be too heavy.And regardless of winning or losing, a hard fee will be given, which can be regarded as encouraging people to have a heart to contribute to the country.

As for why it was changed this time, the reason is unknown.

Pico followed behind the strong man, and when he passed by the soldier officer, he still couldn't help but stop.

"Hello, I want to ask a question"

He pointed to those injured people not far away with his finger, "Do you just ignore those people?"

The soldier officer was also stunned for a moment, then without turning his head, he pointed to the sign hanging not far away without speaking.

Pi Ke looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw eight big characters written on the signboard, 'Careful in the competition, at your own risk'!
Seeing these eight characters, Pi Ke frowned even deeper.Because he felt that these eight words seemed to have warned people, but it turned out to be useless.On the contrary, it is more like the official set it up because they thought it was troublesome, so they took themselves out.

This is like the sophistry of drug traffickers. It is the customers who want to smoke, and we have persuaded them, but they still want to smoke, so it is none of our business.

The same is true for this group arena. Since the king proposed the group arena, he should be responsible for all actions in the group arena, instead of just saying "live carefully, you will bear the consequences" to clear up all responsibilities.

Pico felt that the king was crazy. After doing this, how could he get a loyal subordinate?

Even the strongest person who got the devil fruit, he will not feel any gratitude, he will only think that I deserve all this.

The most important thing is those injured people, they are the backbone of this country, Beko really can't figure it out.

Just when he was about to inquire further, the soldier officer also felt that Pico was different from the others, so he spoke.

"This is an order from above, and I just follow it."

There was also a hint of bewilderment and helplessness in his tone.

Pico nodded at him, knowing that it was useless to continue communicating, he turned around and walked towards the ring with doubts.

The strong man who chose Peko was already waiting on the stage, he heard the conversation between Peko and the officer just now.

Seeing Pi Ke coming up, the corner of his mouth twitched disdainfully, and he said sarcastically: "Why, are you afraid that you will be beaten all over the floor by me later, and you won't be able to go home because of your injuries?".

Heko was originally selected as a "soft persimmon", and he was already a little upset, but now hearing the other party's words, his face also quickly turned cold.

"Soft, don't come if you're afraid of getting hurt, you can choose to surrender and get out, haha"

The strong man taunted again, hearing Pico frown greatly.

The people at the front of the stage laughed when they heard the strong man's speech, and some even echoed the strong man's sarcasm. After all, the waiting period was too boring.People are happy to watch the excitement happen.

"If you're afraid of getting hurt, don't beat me. Idiots don't deserve to participate in rape orders."

"Young man, do you have any misunderstanding about the 'strong' of Na Qiang's order, haha."

Words like these abounded, and sarcasm laughter resounded even more, attracting many guarding soldiers inside the city gate.

Only those wounded people leaning against the city wall, or lying down, or lying down, with pale faces, looked at Bi Ke on the ring with an inexplicable emotion in their eyes.

They wanted to say a few words for Pico, but they didn't know how to say it, or they couldn't.Because. Before they were defeated, they thought exactly the same as those mocking people.

At this moment, Pike's face was terribly black, as if it was about to freeze.He was not angry because these people mocked him, but felt a kind of sadness.

This is the hateful thing about poor people, sometimes they can't tell the difference between good and bad.

'Since you can't tell the difference between good and bad, then I will teach you so that you can tell the difference'

Suddenly, a strange smile crossed the corner of Pico's mouth, he licked his lips, and calmly said to the gong holder next to him: "Can we start to teach the idiot?"
