The True Path of Pirates

The two-day rest time passed quickly, and the 50 contestants also finished repairing and prepared for the final showdown.

A temporary fighting platform has been set up in the center of Malinfando. The platform is made of slabs and is extremely strong.It is surrounded by earth and rocks. It is beautiful and also plays a role in defining the combat range. It kills two birds with one stone.

The onlookers' naval soldiers have already surrounded the venue. In order to facilitate more soldiers to watch, a giant projection phone was specially set up in the venue so that soldiers in the distance can also see the game in the venue.Many reporters from the news media also came to their positions to prepare, waiting to inform the world about the results of the game.

Originally, the senior navy leaders headed by Warring States did not agree with such a high-profile exercise. They believed that a relatively conservative approach was more in line with the navy's tradition.However, the huge impact of military training and the amount of money paid to various handicap casinos made Warring States and others keep their mouths shut and hold this grand naval competition grandly.Not only that, a well-known host was invited to host the competition, but Sengoku's only requirement was to be relatively solemn and not to insult the navy's face.

"The competition adopts a lottery system, divided into five stages: 50 into 25, 25 into 13, 13 into 6, 6 into 3, 3 into 1, a total of three days! In order to ensure that each group can proceed smoothly, we will enter into 25 in 13 stages. Bye draws will be drawn in the 50th battle stage. Each draw is fair, just and open. Please believe in the credibility of the Navy Headquarters. Now the competition begins! In the first stage, 25 will advance to [-]! Please draw numbers for all contestants!"

Each contestant goes to an opaque box and draws a ball. The corresponding number on the ball is his or her number.Rui Deng stepped forward and drew, and by chance, he drew the number "1" again. He must have been the first to take the stage again.

"The draw is over! The competition starts with the two No. 1 players! The two players who got No. 1 are Benjamin Redden from the 13th phase of General Zefa's training camp! And... wow! Pan Peko, who is also from the 12th phase of the training camp! I Once again, I reiterate that this draw is fair, just and open, and there is absolutely no fraud! Then the competition will begin immediately!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, the spectators in the stands and watching the projection began to talk.

"Such a coincidence? There are no weaklings in General Zefa's training camp, right? How could the two strong men come together by such a coincidence?"

"You know what the heck, there are 50 people participating in the competition, half of them are from the training camp, it would be weird if you don't win!"

"That Pan Peko is a famous Devil Fruit user with very strong strength! The swordsman opposite is hanging."

"Yeah, he looks like he's only 16 or 17 years old, I guess he's pretty old."

"Hey, I'm betting on Pan Peko, top 5! The odds are 1 to 1.9. I should be able to make a fortune this time!"

"Hey, I'm envious! It's a pity that I don't have any money to invest. What a pity!"

...

At this time, a young woman wearing thick glasses was also paying attention to the game. She was holding a phone in one hand and writing something in a notebook with the other.

"Yusi! This time our "Four Posters" hopes are entirely on you! We must make big news!"

"Don't worry, President!"

"Well, you are our best journalist, I believe in you! I look forward to your good news, please contact me at any time, and do your best!"

"Bru..."

Yousi, a young female reporter, was paying attention to the game on the court. She pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose, and a sharp light shone under the thick lenses.Her notes were also densely filled with words, and at the top of them was the title written in big black pen: "Shocked!"The navy is so cruel when members of the same family fight against each other! 》

...

No matter how noisy there was outside the arena, it could all be ignored for the two people in the center of the arena. At this time, Pan Peko was looking directly at Ryden, fearing that Ryden would disappear from his eyes.

"Ruiden, your sword attack opened my eyes before. I want to thank you for this."

"Well, your fruit ability has been developed very well. This battle may be interesting."

"Haha, maybe."

Ruiden has no objection to Pan Peko. Although he beat Vicky and others very badly in the previous month-end exam, after all, it was a formal exam, and it was normal for him to be beaten if his skills were inferior to others.On the contrary, Pan Peko's decisive and upright character appealed to Ruiden. If there was a chance, Ruiden would like to have a good relationship with him.

"The much-anticipated first game! Let's begin!"

The host's horn aroused the enthusiasm of the audience. The spectators cheered high and cheered for the players they had bet on. Of course, in this game, most people were cheering for Pan Peko and for Redden. There are not many of them.

Pan Peko also moved. He slowly raised his right arm and bent his body slightly, as if he was gathering strength.The enthusiasm of the crowd was also at its highest. They stared intently at the court and at Pan Peko on the big screen, guessing Pan Peko's next move.

"I surrender!"

Pan Peko raised his right hand to the highest level, stretching straight to the sky.But what he said calmly with an expressionless face brought the entire audience to a standstill, and time seemed to have stopped at this moment!

"Um, eh? Pan Peko admits defeat! The winner of this game is Ruiden! Both parties shake hands!"

The referee was stunned for a few seconds before reacting, but he still professionally announced the somewhat unbelievable result.

"It's unbelievable! Player Pan Peko, who was so vocal, actually chose to admit defeat! Is he still injured? But let us still applaud and congratulate the winner of this game - Ruiden!"

The host also appeared at the right time to smooth things over, and his sophisticated hosting skills also slightly relaxed the atmosphere at the scene.But there were still some excited spectators who cursed loudly, especially those who had bet on Pan Peko. If it hadn't been for the support of their companions, they would have left the stage to ask for an explanation.

Ruiden was also dumbfounded. He looked at Pan Peko walking towards him with question marks on his face.But Pan Peko just stretched out his right hand calmly, as if the person who just surrendered was not him at all.

"why?"

Ruiden also extended his right hand to hold Pan Peko, completing the handshake ceremony.But Pan Peike raised his eyebrows, showing a rare look of joy.

"There is no need to participate in a losing battle. Today is not the day I challenge you, and..."

Pan Peike slowly walked past Ruiden. When the two were closest to each other, a trace of inaudible words reached Ruiden's ears.And Ruiden was stunned like a lightning strike.

"Because it's you who I'm betting on!"
