Pirate's Freedom

Cyrus won 2720 battles.

Cyrus in the arena defeated his opponent with one sword strike. When the audience cheered, he turned around and left without looking back.

"Cyrus has become very impatient lately!"

Standing in the doorway on the second floor of the arena, the black hedgehog-headed King Riku watched the entire game without saying a word. He frowned after Cyrus left the stage.

"It's like being chased by something."

"Your Majesty King Liku, isn't it a good thing that Cyrus is winning faster and faster?"

The bearded guard captain was a little puzzled. He only saw the power of Cyrus.

"Every victory he has now is setting a record!"

"The sword fighting competition held here is not just a performance of fighting each other, but a sacred practice that has been passed down in this country for hundreds of years to train the spirit and sword skills."

King Liku sighed slightly, looking a little worried.

"I'm afraid Cyrus has forgotten this."

……

Cyrus won 2725 battles.

"Cyrus," Tata Tot stood still, and after easily pushing away Cyrus' sword again, he talked to Cyrus who was reorganizing his offensive, and talked about a problem that he could not ignore.

"In recent battles in the arena, you have been winning more and more cleanly."

Cyrus was stunned for a moment, and he said indifferently.

"I just don't want to waste my time there."

"idiot!"

With a scolding, Tata Tot appeared in front of Cyrus in an instant. His left hand wrapped with armed domineering force firmly grasped the sword blade he was swinging, and his right hand strangled Cyrus's neck.

"Do you think I'm complimenting you?"

Looking at Cyrus, whose face turned red and was struggling desperately in mid-air, Tata Tot hated that iron could not become steel.

"It's easy to become stronger by fighting against strong opponents, but only those who can continue to grow against weak opponents can become truly strong."

Having said this, Tata Tot let go of his hand, and Cyrus, who had regained his freedom, half-knelt on the ground, covering his neck and coughing loudly.

"Cough-cough-cough-!"

"If you can't clearly see the situation, the day of the official battle will be the day you die."

Before Cyrus' breathing could calm down, there was a "clang" sound, and the long sword with five fingerprints on it was thrown to the ground, followed by Tata Tot's voice.

"Or do you think it will be easier for me to talk to you if we get to know each other better?"

Judging from the current situation, the duel shortly afterwards was simply a farce.

"How do you think I got such a high bounty!"

Tata Tot decided to wind him up.

"You are not allowed to eat for the next three days!"

……

In the arena, Cyrus's games were always packed.

However, today there was a change that no audience expected.

"Oops, Cyrus got hit!"

The host responsible for the commentary was also shocked.

"So far, Cyrus has never been hit by anyone!"

Cyrus on the field was struggling to walk, completely losing his usual flexibility. When faced with a thrilling thrust, he barely avoided it and his helmet was knocked off.

Facing this unprecedented scene, the energetic opponent launched a fierce attack. For a moment, Cyrus seemed to be on the verge of defeat.

"Tie your own hands and feet?"

Tata Tot, who was wandering the streets of Dressrosa, smiled.

"Sure enough, I didn't starve you in vain. I finally realized it."

He was in a good mood and kept time with the music.

"Cyrus, you now give me something to look forward to."

After Cyrus dodged his opponent's attacks several times in a row, he took advantage of his opponent's momentum to drop slightly, keenly caught a flaw and chopped him to the ground.

The dream was shattered. Cyrus's opponents failed to continue to create miracles and stepped on Cyrus's body, becoming a new legend in the arena.

"Cyrus wins!"

"This is Cyrus' undefeated record of 2730 victories!"

“The living legend Cyrus!”

"The word invincible was simply born for this man!"

Because of today's thrilling situation, the host seemed particularly excited when he announced victory.

"Well done! Cyrus!"

"Cyrus is the strongest!"

The relieved audience also cheered.

"However, it is impossible to bridge the gap between you and me at this level."

After the fierce dance, the breathless dancer threw the rose in her mouth into the air. Before the men onlookers could compete for it, Tata Tot, who jumped high, had already picked up the rose before it fell. inside.

"I'm afraid you can't even notice that I'm getting weaker now. You have no chance of winning."

A petal fell.

"Cyrus, you have to be faster."

……

In the past few days, Cyrus's game has gradually become more suspenseful.

"Your Majesty King Liku, aren't you worried? This is the third time we have been hit."

Even though he was just watching from the sidelines, the guard captain was still sweating nervously.

"Although Cyrus has not lost recently, it has become increasingly difficult to win."

"...The current scene reminds me of when Cyrus first became a sword fighter."

King Liku looked at Cyrus who was swinging his sword vigorously in the center of the arena in some trance.

"At that time, he was improving with every battle, and the next battle would be stronger than the previous one..."

"Victory of Cyrus!"

"Cyrus won all 2740 battles!"

With the cheers of the audience, Cyrus once again defeated his opponent with difficulty.

"...But at that time, he had never been hit, which meant a very simple thing."

After the cheers subsided a little, he continued what he had just said.

"Carrying something heavy, Cyrus is trying every way to become stronger!"

After making his judgment, King Riku asked the officer in charge of the arena.

"Did something happen to Cyrus?"

"No, Cyrus usually doesn't leave the arena at all."

The person in charge spoke without thinking, but then he seemed to remember something.

"That's right!" Although the memory was a little fuzzy, the person in charge said with certainty.

"Two months ago, Cyrus went out and brought back many reward orders."

Hearing this, King Liku rubbed his chin, thoughtfully.

"Is there a reward order..."
