Pirate's Steel Chain Finger

Outside the tavern is the town center square of Pateria Island.

At this time, a large area of ​​​​open space had been evacuated from the square, and the onlookers gathered around and cheered continuously.

The sky was covered by huge wing shadows, and the giant royal albatross incarnated by Helding spiraled down and turned back into a human form when it was about to land. The fourteen contestants on their shoulders also jumped onto the stone floor of the square.

"Okay, it's safe to send to the arena, and then it's up to you."

Halding twisted his shoulders and turned to leave.

"Oh? Mr. Hayerdin, aren't you the examiner for the third round?" Tezzolo, who had a good chat with Hayerdin along the way, asked in surprise.

A smile appeared under Haildin's thick beard: "I just sent you to this island of Badelila. There is another examiner... I wish you good luck."

After saying that, he jumped high into the sky and transformed into a giant albatross again, flying towards the distant sea.

The fourteen contestants looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

At this time, a slightly hoarse voice sounded from the top of the nearby tavern.

"Good afternoon, contestants."

Everyone looked up and saw a burly murloc sitting on the edge of the roof on the second floor of the tavern, sitting casually.This murloc was wearing a black thunder-weave yukata, clogs, and a thick shimenawa rope around his waist. His skin was a light mint green seagrass color, and his dark green and black hair was tied up in a 'knot' style. Gray, with lightning-like eyebrows.He looked around at the contestants below, and showed his sharp teeth when he spoke: "This old man is the chief examiner of the third round. If you have no doubts, then..."

"The third round begins now!"

The huge central circular square suddenly trembled, and the entire square was lifted up to a height of 5 meters. Then the inner circle holds up a round platform with a radius of 10 meters and a height of about 1 meter, forming a complete fighting arena.

Ace, who was watching from behind the window of the tavern, let out a 'wow', and the lynx Kodaz, who was lying on top of his head, also made a cute cry of 'Garrrrrrrrrrrr'.Deus huddled beside Ace, while Scarl sneaked out to find other companions wandering around town.

The contestants consciously stand on the outer circle of the fighting arena.Tezzolo's eyes lit up and he said excitedly to Mozart next to him: "That's 'Sea Sea Head' Haoxue! The top three superpowers under Viktor's command! Unexpectedly, he came to be the third! The chief examiner of the round, I wonder if I can get an autograph?"

Not far away, the 'Blind Man' raised his head slightly, half-opened his blind eyes that were all pale, and murmured to himself: "... Such a powerful 'voice', this is Mr. Hao Xue, 'Haizotou'" Bar?"

In his senses, the whole world was dark. But the 'sound' emitted by each person forms a distorted and fuzzy human-like shape, and their direction of action and general movements can be 'seen'.

This is the change brought about by the 'Blind Hero''s life-long development of his knowledge and domineering power to a certain extent.

In his opinion, Haoxue's 'voice' was extremely powerful, several times stronger than 'Spider' Spade!Disdainful of hiding or covering up, Haoxue just so straightforwardly showed her strength in front of everyone.

Haoxue exerted force on her feet and jumped from the top of the tavern to the outside of the fighting arena with a single leap.

"No more nonsense, let me explain the rules of this game."

He took out a long pipe from his pocket, lit it, took two puffs and exhaled a puff of smoke, before saying: "This competition is the last round of this hunter's qualification competition. The conditions for passing the test are very simple, just [ Win a game] to pass the level.”

As he said that, the video phone bug projected a grouping table on the large wall in the north of the square. The table was not arranged in the normal order of choosing 2 from 1 and then going up. Instead, some people had a bye and some needed to fight consecutively. They are divided into group A and group B, with 7 people in each group, marked with their respective numbers.

"In this game, the winner will pass the level directly without having to fight again, and the loser will [promote]. Those who advance to the top in this group will have to fight with the other group that has reached the top, and the loser will be 'disqualified'." Haoxue Breathing out a puff of smoke, a strange smile hangs on the corner of his mouth: "Theoretically speaking, there will only be [1 person] unqualified."

"I have doubts." Rick the 'Mad Hatter' standing aside pointed to the projection screen in the distance and said, "This grouping seems very unfair! Some people have a lot of chances, while others only have two chances at most. How are the groups divided?"

Before Haoxue could speak, the white clouds and blue sky above his head were suddenly occupied by dark clouds.With the sound of thunder, the clouds gathered around Haoxue and turned into a pretty girl with long orange hair. It was the 'Weather Princess' Nami.

Nami put her hands on her hips and looked at Rick: "Let me answer this question. Each round of competition will have its own score and ranking, and based on their personal scores, the jury will finally decide the grouping of the third round. ."

"I don't understand. Can you explain it in more detail?" Cavendish said.

"The specific scoring method is confidential and cannot be fully disclosed." A voice came from behind everyone. It was the examiner of the first round, 'Devil Sheriff' Lafayette. He did not know when he appeared outside the fighting arena, holding a black hand on his head. Top Hat said with a fake smile: "The president said that I can give you a brief introduction, so I will mention it. The review criteria are divided into three major categories, physical ability score, mental ability score and impression score."

"The physical fitness score is composed of pure strength, agility, endurance, five senses, and even domineering."

"The mental ability score is composed of adaptability, creativity, personal talent, judgment, and leadership. The development of Devil Fruit is also included in this score."

"The last is the impression score. This item is not determined by any of the previous scores. To be more specific, it is the [Hunter] talent score. Some people are born to be navy or pirates, no matter how strong they are, they will not match with hunters." Side. Every action taken by each contestant from the first round will affect his personal impression score. Well, that's it."

Many contestants were lost in thought, probably recalling what unexpected things they had done in the competition.

"Okay, if there is no doubt, then the old man will talk about the rules of battle."

Haoxue knocked on his pipe, and said slowly: "The rules of battle are simple and clear. You can use weapons, you can use fruit abilities, and there are no additional rules. The side that can make the opponent say 'I admit defeat' wins. If you kill the opponent, immediately At this time, the remaining candidates will automatically pass, and this hunter qualification competition will end here. Not much nonsense, the first round..."

"Tezolo (No. 63) vs. Lifetime (No. 99)!"
