Pirate Queen of Fire

"The whole world knows about the competition, how can the championship prize that has been promised be exchanged... Well, it is not impossible, if you can offer a price that I cannot refuse, but the problem is that you can give it Will it come out? I’m afraid you won’t even be able to get the market price of the Zhenzhen fruit.”

"It should be possible to get together... right?" Ace's tone was a little uncertain.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Whitebeard Pirates are squeezed out of the four emperors, they can still make up the billions of Baileys... It seems that they can't make up. Ace suddenly realized, what are they doing? Wealthy ever?Even when the old man was still alive, there was no spare money in the treasure room of the Beluga, no, there was no such thing as a treasure room on the Beluga!

On the contrary, the captains under the banner will occasionally rob without telling Whitebeard, and if they are a little richer, how about asking them to join in?

"Where are you going?"

Even through the phone bug, Nuo Qigao guessed what Ace was thinking, and she said bluntly:

"Captains, it's okay to say, how many of the 43 captains of the Pirates will serve you after Whitebeard's death?"

"..."

"They admired the former captain who was the strongest in the world, and were even willing to die for him. Relatively speaking, the new captain's deterrence is much worse. I admit that you have a good relationship, but it is different now. Let them chip in to buy you fruits , can this be worked out?"

"Should it be possible?" Ace wasn't sure. After Dad's funeral, the relationship between the captain and them seemed to be a little alienated.

"It's very difficult. They also have a lot of people to support, and they have to go bankrupt to buy fruits for others. I don't agree with it, and they can't share it. If it is other forces, such as the Big Mom Pirates, it is very easy to raise money. The amount of treasures offered each year alone is an astronomical figure, but when will you pay filial piety besides collecting a few jars of wine?

Now the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates is shrinking, and those islands that are still under your control are probably not willing to pay. The guardian did not make a confession when he was alive, let alone now, you plan to go against your father's wishes ? "

"..."

Nuo Qigao treats Ace as a friend, so naturally she won't hit him blindly.

"If you want those captains to continue to gather under the name of the Whitebeard Pirates, if you want to get back the lost territory, and restore the glory of the strongest Pirates, you must prove to the world that you are qualified to take over Whitebeard Pirates. A bit that qualifies to be a captain!

The name of the son of Pirate King Roger does not bring you any benefits. Will others admire you when they mention this? No, they only admire your father. Many people think that White Beard is because of your father. You, this feeling must be very uncomfortable... So, come to participate in the New Star Martial Arts Conference. "

"Uh, are you talking too fast?" Ace's expression was sad and tangled, maybe he couldn't keep up with Nuo Qigao's train of thought.

"Hurry up, the next thing I want to talk about is the core, as long as you win the championship and eat the shocking fruit in front of people all over the world, you can prove that your father and your companions have the right vision, because they like you This is the person who made you the captain, after defeating all opponents with great strength, everyone under the Whitebeard Pirates will be convinced, this is the most correct way!"

"Can I really? Beat everyone, including you..."

"Dream, it's impossible, this captain is invincible!", Facing Ace's question, Nuo Qigao said directly without even thinking about it.

Then you said a hammer just now! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

What's the use of encouraging words, if you can't beat it, you still can't beat it.

"Ahem, I'm not going to participate, and by the way, Kuina and Yeka won't be playing either. The rest of the Phoenix Pirates can't beat you."

Yamato will participate in the competition, but that guy is purely rushing to fight. He just wants to meet the strong people from all over the world for a while, and there is no competitive relationship with Ace. He must discuss the stakes in advance. She made it to the semifinals and withdrew.

Of course we have to turn on the water, otherwise Ace will compare who is tougher with his head or a mace?

Nuoqigao held the competition purely for the excitement, and it's okay to help friends within the rules.After all, she earned back the original selling price of Zhenzhen Fruit by selling tickets and registration fees.

It is equivalent to letting the contestants and the audience watching the competition buy the fruit to give to the champion. In short, Nuo Qi is not the kind of person who likes to suffer losses if she does not do business that loses money or even makes less money.

There are not many people who spend a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to organize competitions, but get nothing, and instead throw out priceless treasures.

Say yes, Brother Ming.

After working hard for a long time, I finally fooled Ace away.

Nuo Qigao also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if you were the captain's companion, not to mention giving free fruit, you could scoop out the fruit with a spoon and pestle it yourself.But you are not.

The most important thing now is to hold a competition. It's useless to talk about friendship. Isn't the face of the Warring States period not big enough? It's still not given.

The ad has been posted, and there are two things to do before the game officially starts.

First you need to build the arena.

The one in Dressrosa is too small, the auditorium can only accommodate a few thousand people, and the area for the players to fight seems to allow hundreds of people to fight in it, but in reality they can't let go of their hands and feet.The rock floor shatters at the first touch, and there are no protective measures around it. A slightly stronger attack may accidentally injure the audience.

The last time they borrowed the venue, the ring was repeatedly damaged several times.Does Nuo Qigao have the patience to keep repairing the field?Absolutely not.

In order not to waste time in the later stage, materials cannot be saved when building the venue, not just for this time, she plans to hold the martial arts meeting all the time.

The construction of the arena requires high-quality stone materials, and it is too late to find a stonemason to polish and customize it. Fortunately, the Phoenix Pirates are full of talents, and a few amateur architects (?) abruptly built the venue within three days.

Yeka "moved" a hill about [-] meters high to the vicinity of the Capital of Flowers to serve as the raw material for the arena. Nuoqi Gao originally wanted to use the high mountain near the capital as the main material, but Hiyori hurriedly put down the knife and ran over. Disregarding the image of the general, he cried and made noises to persuade her.

Wano Country wants to start a country, but it doesn't want to open a ladle. If the iconic mountain range is cut off, it will hurt the face of everyone in the country.

Guina swung a knife and cut the moved mountain into a cylinder. With superb swordsmanship and Frank's fixed-point blasting, the two hollowed out the mountain pillar, and then the auditorium, the main arena, the preliminaries, and the players' lounge were built in sequence.

The arena, which is made entirely of stone, looks bare and the color is not very nice, it needs to be painted.

Rhine pressed his hands on the stone wall, and the slender vines gradually wrapped the building, the earthy yellow turned green, and his eyes immediately felt much more comfortable.But the most important purpose of doing so is not for eye protection, but for shock absorption.The rocks are heavy and fragile, and they will become more durable after being wrapped in a coat.

The vines produced by Rhine's current strength are tougher than ordinary swords, and they have almost no shortcomings except that they are a little afraid of fire.

The construction of the arena here has been half completed, and the main arena and the preliminary arena need additional reinforcement, which is the work of Nuo Qigao.She was not idle when her companions were running non-stop.

Didn't Hiyori say he would come up with a sponsorship fee? (Hiyori: I don't, don't talk nonsense.)

Nuo Qigao asked her to send people to collect a large amount of metal, whether it was damaged swords or other iron products, anyone who came would not be rejected.The original site of the Kaido weapons factory also received goods. They did not remove some bulky waste equipment and failed products when they evacuated. This time they just came in handy.

Nuo Qigao refined all these metals, fused them according to a certain ratio, and even added a small amount of Hailou Stone, and a rough version of Phoenix Alloy was produced.

The main arena, which was 100 meters long and [-] meters wide, was paved with a ten-centimeter-thick alloy floor, and a circle of metal mesh was surrounded around the arena, which did not affect the view of the audience, but could effectively prevent the players from attacking.

Although it is a rough version of the Phoenix alloy, its toughness cannot be underestimated. Sauron tried it with her own hands. With all her strength, she could barely leave a hole in the metal mesh. If the floor was broken, the current him would not be able to destroy it.

Passed.

The preliminaries are also configured in the same way, but the scale is slightly smaller, only one-fifth of the size of the main arena.

It is worth mentioning that the auditorium was additionally reinforced before the arena was finally built.

Instead of bare steps like the Dressrosa Arena, the auditorium of the Budokai Arena is made up of rows of vine chairs, which are also stepped, and the aisles between rows are not narrow, allowing for People walk and hide.

The back of the vine chair was a little higher, in case some attacking rings were unable to block the protective nets, and the attacks happened to fly in the direction of the auditorium.At this time, the audience doesn't need to run away, just squat forward to be completely blocked by the back of the chair in the front row, and the vines that can prevent swords and bullets must be able to block a round of attacks weakened by the barbed wire.

If you can't stop it, then ask for blessings.

An attack that has been weakened twice and still threatens human life is useless even if the audience can escape.

After the arena is built, it's time to invite guests, which is also the highlight.

People from all over the world responded strongly to the Budokai, but it was not intense enough. Since we want to hold an unprecedented grand event, we should find ways to make it more lively.Just relying on the name of the Phoenix Pirates is not enough, we need to invite some influential figures to shake the field.

In addition to the fact that the Revolutionary Army is somewhat sensitive, Nuo Qigao intends to invite one guest from each of the Navy, Pirates, and the Seven Martial Kings in the middle to come to the arena. The greater the influence, the better.

"Yawn~ I'm a yellow ape."

Since Nuo Qigao dialed the phone number in the office, Huang Yuan didn't make a fuss about taking the monitoring phone bug as a communication phone bug.

"Yo, General Huang, do you still remember me? The famous Captain Nuo Qigao."

"General Huang? Why did you get in touch here directly? Could it be that the old man's position has been exposed? It's really scary that someone has monitored the Admiral's every move."

You stay in the office all day drinking tea and cutting your nails, and you still use surveillance?

"Don't worry, Marshal Sengoku provided you with the contact information of your office, but it's not important. General Kizaru knows that I'm going to hold the Nova Martial Arts Association in Wano Country."

"Is there anyone in the world who doesn't know that you invited me to participate in the competition? You are very discerning, but it's a pity that although the face of the old man looks young and handsome, he just passed his 40th birthday not long ago, so he is not satisfied with participating in the competition." request~"

Do you mean more than ten years ago?As expected of a person with the ability to shine fruit, people with fast speed have a different concept of time from ordinary people.

Nuo Qigao briefly explained the reason for the invitation to Huang Yuan. He thought it would take a lot of effort for the other party to agree, but unexpectedly, he agreed very simply.

Azaleas have their reasons.

Recently, the rivalry between Akakenu and Aokiji has become more and more fierce, and the two are moving towards the position of marshal. He has no such idea, and he does not want to favor anyone.But everyone is a colleague, and he doesn't see each other when he looks up and down every day, so he is too embarrassed to stay here and watch the show.

Just as he was thinking about finding a place to go on vacation to avoid the limelight, it happened that Nuo Qigao contacted him.

Warring States acquiesced in this matter, otherwise they would not have provided Huang Yuan's contact information.

"Okay, the navy is done, Qibuhai... Hancock? No, although she has a great reputation, she is not as good as Kizaru in terms of strength. It should be Hawkeye, but with this guy's character, she shouldn't I will easily agree to other people's invitations, so I have to find a way."

-------------------

A day later, at the base of the Red-haired Pirates, wine boy Shanks heard that his old friend planned to go to Wano Country, his face became a bit interested.

"I didn't expect you to be able to invite Hawkeye. It's amazing. Sometimes that guy doesn't even give me face."

"How about it? Do you want to go there too? Nothing else, good wine is enough."

In one day, Nuo Qigao went back and forth between the Great Airline and the New World, and met Hawkeye and Red Hair.She is not very familiar with these two big brothers, so it is better to invite them in person.

(Huang Yuan: Are we familiar? I don’t want to lose face.)

"The Zhenzhen fruit, Whitebeard didn't rely on it to become the strongest in the world... Hiccup~ It's good to go there, to taste the fine wine of Wano Country, no, to see the level of the younger generation."

"Captain, why don't you join the competition? The requirement for the competition is that you should be under 40 years old, and you are fully qualified."

"After you said that, I suddenly realized that our captain is still a young man. Go ahead and win back the Zhenzhen fruit!"

"Ton, ton... Huh~ it seems very interesting, do you want to participate?"

Shanks drank all the wine in the bottle in one breath, and with a little bit of alcohol, he really regarded himself as a young man, and he started to think about it.

"Would you like to try it?" Nuo Qigao also urged.

If the four emperors also appear as contestants, the excitement of this martial arts competition will rise to another level.

"Hahahahaha, forget it, I have no interest in devil fruits."
