Ghost knife pirates of the pirate king

"That's right, what's the problem?"

"Do you remember what they said when I asked them if there were any other rules?" Charlotte glanced at everyone.

"They only said that they are not allowed to enter other players' lounges, otherwise they will be disqualified. Other than that, there seems to be nothing else."

Charlotte nodded: "They don't seem to have said that players are not allowed to do anything in private, right?"

"Ah, yes!" Kidd just finished nodding, his face turned ugly, and he seemed to have thought of something: "You mean, something might happen during the rest time?"

"That's what it means. It seems that the Black Snake Business Group really wants to raise poisonous insects. Only those who have survived countless poisonous insects are qualified to participate in this business battle for them."

"Asshole!" Kidd cursed.

"They also have their own reasons, but from today on, we must be careful." Charlotte turned to look at Roque and Little Hugo, and said: "Especially you two, during the game, if nothing happens, try not to Go out alone, otherwise you will most likely become a burden to us."

Roque and Little Hugo were immediately shocked.

"Isn't it too much to say that you are burdened?" Kidd frowned.

Charlotte was serious for a rare time outside of the battle: "It sounds better to say that we are burdened. If the opponent really threatens you with Rock, will you just give up? Besides, the outcome of this kind of game is not painful for us at all. It’s not itchy, we’re not fighting for fame, and it’s not for that Devil Fruit, so abstaining for Rock is a sure thing.”

Kidd responded silently, because he couldn't find any argument to refute what Charlotte said.

Indeed, from the beginning, they participated in this trial to hone their skills and will, not for any prizes.

After a long silence, Kidd suddenly said: "How about we just abstain?"

"Giving up before you've even started?" Charlotte sighed and looked out the window: "If one day... we don't have the right to give up, what will you do? If the other party kidnaps your dearest person, the one you love Man, if you are asked to give up your life, what would you do?”

Kidd couldn't honestly say "I will die" on this issue, at least not until the moment, and no one knew what would happen.

"Forget it, I'm going to discuss this philosophy of life with you. You can't change it with your IQ. Let's take a closer look at who the opponent is!"

"Sure enough, you can't be serious for more than three seconds!" Kidd sighed.

Charlotte ignored him, but changed the topic and brought up the Ranma Club again: "As expected, the Ranma Club has not appeared again in the past two days. If the Black Snake Business Group can really be trusted, then you can rest assured for the time being, but we You really need to be careful...at least, don't let anything happen to Rock."

He did not mention little Hugo.

……

Arriving at the venue, it was not a Colosseum-like setting, but a rather advanced-looking building. It looked like a cathedral. Outside the door, there were not many people, but still Some reporters tried to rush in, but were driven out by the men in black from the Black Snake Business Group.

Charlotte's RV drove into an entrance next to the lobby, leading to the underground parking lot. There were also dozens of extended RVs like theirs parked inside, and deeper in there were several that looked like An extremely luxurious vehicle.

After getting out of the car, the men in black led them. They walked up the stairs and arrived inside the building.This is a magnificent hall, with more than a dozen expensive crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, red and gold carpets, and a 20-meter-long table in the center, with all kinds of food on it. , everything from barbecued meat to fruits is extremely rich, and under the table there are stoves, which are boiling with heat.

There were already many people standing in the hall. Some of them, like Charlotte and others, came in groups of three, exchanging glasses of wine and chatting, while some stood alone in a corner.

But Charlotte's eyes quickly moved away, and he quickly scanned the people on the field. Fan Li was also here, and he also saw some people he hadn't seen in the preliminary round. They must be contestants from other regions.

They all look like they have some strength.

The man in black said: "The vice president will show up at two o'clock in the afternoon. During this time, you can enjoy food here or go to the second floor for entertainment. There is a gym and a game room on the second floor, and there is a swimming pool on the third floor. If you have any questions, you can find me over there."

As he said that, he pointed to a row of men in black sitting near the entrance of the hall with stern faces. At first glance, they thought they were some kind of statues.

Charlotte and the others nodded.

"Then I'll quit first." The man in black kept his posture very low. From this, it can be judged that the Black Snake Business Group should actually attach great importance to these players who have passed the preliminary round.

……

10 minute later.

"Hey, little Hugo, don't go over there!" Kidd suddenly pulled little Hugo to his side. He said to little Hugo seriously: "It's too embarrassing over there. We can't afford to embarrass this person."

"But I have something to ask your captain!"

Kidd looked at the 20-meter-long table with a deep look on his face and murmured: "You can ask again after everything is over!"

Hugo couldn't help but follow his gaze and saw that they were two people.

……

Time goes back to 5 minutes ago.

"Can you eat whatever you want here?" Charlotte asked, pointing to the food placed in the center of the venue.

Kidd nodded: "Buffet, what do you want...what do you want to do?" Before Kidd could finish his words, he saw Charlotte reaching out and grabbing a piece of meat, "I'll go, you are not a cute person now, What are you doing! "Put down the meat!" He said, grabbing Charlotte.

"Let me go!" Charlotte shouted, putting a piece of roast beef dripping with oil into her mouth and pushing Kidd away.

"It's so embarrassing. How can anyone eat like you?" Kidd said anxiously, "Hurry up and put it down!"

Charlotte stuffed the beef into her mouth in two or three mouthfuls, and after swallowing it, she turned back to Kidd and said seriously: "That, that, and that. Also, if you don't hold me, no one will notice at all, okay? ?”

Charlotte pointed at a black-haired young man next to him. He looked about twenty years old and seemed to be running for three years. The other one was a strong man, and the other one had a big belly. The three of them were not reserved at all and they reached out and grabbed them. Just eat.

plate?unnecessary!

Kidd was stunned for a few seconds, but before he could think more, Rock next to him asked curiously: "Oh, here

It’s all you can eat! ? "

A bad thought came to my mind. Charlotte, who lived in her own world, and a navigator who was so shameless that he lost his basic human dignity... These two people are in trouble!

as predicted!

Before Kidd had time to retreat three feet, Rock had already approached a plate of extremely fresh ice-cold lobster and said with appreciation: "I have been wallowing in the sea for so many years, and I don't have a chance to eat this good thing!" As he said that, he grabbed it, broke it off skillfully, and stuffed the whole shrimp tail directly into his mouth.

Squeaking and biting, juices splashed everywhere.

Charlotte's eyes widened. It turns out that this kind of alien creature is also edible?He reached out and snatched another one, and when he broke it, it was broken directly. The tail of the shrimp was still in the shell. Next to him, Rock gave Charlotte a vaguely disdainful look.

obscure?Charlotte could clearly see the little thoughts in Roque's mind at a glance.

Then, no then.

A fight for food began.

The two almost had a fight, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on the two of them. Even though they were both warriors and didn't mind much about table manners, they couldn't help but stay away from them.

I feel like it would be embarrassing to stand with them.

Charlotte and the others did not enjoy it for too long. During the scramble for food, Charlotte finally raised a piece of Neptune-type barbecue. Under Rock's disgusted eyes, when he put the piece of meat into his mouth, it was two o'clock. , arrived unknowingly.

The food was emptied by [-]%, and it was all the most expensive. The caviar bowl was empty, and the black truffle used for seasoning had no aroma left. There were only a few shrimp heads left on the lobster plate, and scallops as big as the palm of your hand?Um?Damn it, has this kind of thing ever appeared in a venue?

Charlotte burped with satisfaction.

……

The vice president walked onto the stage at some point.

The vice-president is a little old man who is only about 1.6 meters tall, with squinted eyes, a thin face, and a skinny body. He is wearing a simple robe and a pair of black cloth shoes. He looks very simple.

However, the warriors present felt that this little old man was not simple.

Roque asked innocently: "Is this the vice president? He looks similar to the old man who lived next door to me when I was a kid, right?"

Charlotte and Kidd didn't reply. They quietly took a few steps away and asked in a "Stand with you?"Shame on you! 'Looking at Rock with an expression, Rock sneered in his heart and remained calm.

Looking at the stage, Charlotte looked solemn. The strength of this little old man was definitely unfathomable.He didn't notice at all when the little old man came in or when he stepped onto the high platform. However, when he stepped onto the high platform, everyone would naturally turn their attention to him.

Simply standing still, the abyss-like aura is not something ordinary people can feel. It is reasonable for Luo Ke to feel nothing. If he can feel something, then he is not a scumbag.

The little old man blocked his mouth with his fist and coughed twice: "Good afternoon!"

His voice was very soft, but for some reason everyone could hear it clearly. It was as if it was ringing in their ears.

"Good afternoon, Vice President!" Several people greeted back.

"Ah, there are many young heroes? When I was young, I was no better than you." The little old man shook his head and sighed: "By the way, what are you here for? Fame and fortune?"

No one answered.

The little old man chuckled twice: "Since no one answered, then forget it, it's not an important question anyway."

If it's not important, don't ask!

Some people are impatient, but they don't dare to speak, for fear that if they speak, they will be torn apart by the little old man in front of them, especially those who are good at using poison and other unscrupulous methods, and they are even more unable to speak. The little old man's aura can be said to be It is as heavy as a mountain, and those with weak willpower can hardly even stand firm.

However, someone spoke.

"Can you get to the point!"

Everyone's eyes turned to him. The person who spoke was a red-haired guy. He frowned and sat casually on the ground. He didn't pay attention to the little old man at all. There was a deep meaning in his eyes.

"Oh? He's the little guy from the Sk family! Your grandfather and I had some friendship back then, they were family friends, right? How can you talk to your elders like this? You have to stand up when talking to your elders. How can you behave like this?"

The little old man is really annoying, this is what everyone is thinking.

While the little old man was chattering, Charlotte pulled a chair from the side and sat down.

"My little friend, can you be polite to me?" The little old man was a little sulky. The boy from the Sk family was okay, after all, he was..., but this boy of unknown origin in front of him dared to sit down in front of me. ! ?

As soon as he finished speaking, that word "what", an overwhelming momentum was directed at Charlotte like a sharp arrow.

But Charlotte has already experienced the baptism of the momentum of Hawkeye's ship-cutting sword, and has challenged it, and has strong resistance to this simple momentum attack - of course, at this moment, he does not You know what this 'aura' represents in this sea.

Charlotte didn't even move. She raised her head and frowned: "I don't know how long you are going to talk. Isn't it okay to just sit and listen? I didn't say you have to stand and listen, right?"

Seeing that Xia Luo didn't respond at all, the little old man showed a little surprise in his eyes, and then calmed down and said: "Haha, what you said makes sense, so just sit down!"

Everyone was stunned. This little old man was so easy to talk to. Only two or three people on the field looked at Charlotte thoughtfully.

"Okay! Since so many kids are feeling impatient, let me get right to the point! I believe everyone already knows that our competition this time uses an elimination system, with a total of four rounds and a total of eight days. One day of rest after each round and three days of rest after the third round. Is there any problem?”

No one replied, and then the little old man continued: "No problem, let's start grouping."

As he said that, all the men in black who were sitting in the front row had walked near the podium at some point. In the past few days, they had collected relatively precise data for everyone they were responsible for, such as name, height, etc. , weight, nickname, etc.

At this moment, they moved out a machine, which looked like a large glass vase, and dropped sixteen round spheres into it. As soon as the balls entered, they were blown randomly and flew around in the glass vase in an orderly manner.

"I will rank them in order based on your scores in the preliminary round. The first one is Norben Levi."
