The Attack of the Ghouls Chapter 422
This competition is actually one of Yeyue's plans.
If you want to start a war with the world government, the existing power alone is not enough. It may be comparable to the world government on the surface, but who knows how much power the world government still hides?
What Yeyue wants is to be foolproof, defeat with one blow, cut grass and roots, and leave no future troubles, so he must gather strength to the maximum extent. In addition to high-level combat power, the number of minions must not be small, otherwise the huge number of navy and government The army is enough to give Yeyue a headache.
This competition, on the one hand, is to deceive people and attract the attention of the navy and the world government, so that the secret preparations of the Revolutionary Army and the Starry Pirates can proceed smoothly. On the other hand, it is also to select talents and absorb a large number of pirates by the way. as cannon fodder.
Anyway, these pirates do a lot of evil, and Yeyue will not feel uneasy about using them.
Day by day, Dressrosa has gathered almost all the elite pirates from the New World and the Great Route. Those who are weak are not qualified to set foot here. Even if they come, they will be cleared out quietly.
It wasn't Wilbur and the others who did it, but the other stronger pirates. These guys would not allow ants to compete with them, that would be an insult to them.
As the day of the competitive competition draws near, the battle among pirates becomes more and more fierce. Every day, hundreds of pirates die in the arena, and many pirates die because of private fights or are beaten by villains. The ghost alliance cleans up.
In less than a week, nearly 100,000 pirates died on the island, but even though so many people died, the number of pirates on the island showed no sign of decreasing, instead it became more and more crowded. It can be seen that the number of pirates gathered in Dressrosa at this moment may have exceeded one million.
This world lacks everything, but there is no shortage of pirates.
During this period of time, the members of the Evil Ghost Alliance also seized the time to build ten large arenas as the preliminaries for the competitive competition.
In fact, the bullfighting arena can already accommodate 100,000 people watching at the same time, and the ring is enough for hundreds of people to fight melee, but compared to the number of millions of pirates, it is really a drop in the bucket, so these ten qualifier rings were established Simultaneous selection.
It is not easy to select potential seeds from millions of pirates, but it can really be called one in a million.
According to Yeyue's plan, the most ideal result is to absorb 300,000 elites from the million pirates as cannon fodder troops, select 100 potential seeds for secret training, and make these potential seeds stronger as quickly as possible. Shine bright in the final battle.
The competitive competition with millions of people participating at the same time is really the largest and most complicated competition in history, and the resources consumed in it are already astronomical. , and the funding from the Revolutionary Army, I am afraid that this competition has already died due to resources.
At the same time, this competition may not be completed in a short period of time. This most amazing competition in history will last at least one month before entering the final stage in full swing.
Chapter 360 The Contest Begins
"Welcome all the big pirates. I am Gates, the commentator of the bullfighting arena. Next, I will be responsible for explaining the process and rules of this competition. I hope all the pirates can listen carefully. Immediate disqualification."
On this day, Dressrosa was full of people, and the whole island seemed to boil like boiling water. The noise went straight to the sky, shaking the white clouds in the sky, revealing the charming blue color.
On the mountainside of King's Heights, Gates, the commentator with an extremely excited expression, is on a temporary commentary platform, spreading his voice to every corner of the island through the amplified phone bug, and there are two standing beside him. A female assistant dressed as a bunny girl.
Gates' strength is very low, basically not much better than ordinary people, but he has become a gold medal commentator in the bullfighting arena with his unique commentary style. The exciting commentary always makes the audience excited. Just listen to him You can imagine the fierce battle scene with just the sound.
This is Gates' special skill, the ability to freely mobilize the audience's emotions. Even if it's an extremely boring game, he can easily find out the highlights and lead the audience into it, as if they were there.
"This is a competition that will go down in history! First of all, I would like to thank our great Emperor Yeyue for initiating this competition and allowing us to participate in it. At the same time, I would like to thank Lord Liku for this This competition has provided the resources of the entire country, and I would also like to thank the adults of the Evil Ghost Alliance for working hard to maintain order during this time."
Gates is very smart, he flattered several people in a row, and then stopped, just right for the hot atmosphere, but just not offensive, after all, whether it is Yeyue's name, or The name of the Evil Ghost Alliance is the main goal of the pirates who came to participate in the competition this time!
The name Yeyue alone is enough to make the warm atmosphere of the entire island rise again and again. Three emperors, Yeyue, is recognized as the most powerful emperor among the three emperors, which also means that Yeyue is already recognized as the strongest pirate. As long as he reaches the finish line, he will undoubtedly become the second in history. One Piece.
Just the name of such a legendary powerhouse is enough to make these pirates crazily worship it. It is conceivable that if Yeyue himself appears here, the whole island will probably be crazy about it!
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. Due to the large number of participants in this competitive competition, the competition schedule will last for a month. The ten qualifiers arenas will be selected at the same time every day. Each competition will start from one hundred The top three will enter the finals. One month later, only 30,000 people will be able to enter the finals. I hope everyone will work hard. The competition has officially begun. Please prepare yourself!"
After Gates explained the process and rules of the competition succinctly and clearly, he asked his assistant to notify the ten qualifier rings to start the competition. Above each ring hung a list of astonishing numbers, with 100,000 names divided into one Thousands of groups, one hundred people in each group.
Each arena has to be played a thousand times in a month. On average, there are 333 games a day. Such a high-intensity game sounds like an impossible task.
But fortunately, although these ten pre-selection rings are crudely built, they are large enough to accommodate a thousand people to fight at the same time, so Wilbur and others from the Evil Ghost Alliance simply divided the ring into ten areas. Ten sets of competitions are held at the same time, and those who fall to the ground or go out of bounds will immediately lose their qualifications. In this way, the efficiency of the competition will be increased by more than ten times.
Even so, if you want to complete the competition with millions of people within a month, it is inevitable to stay around the clock. It is conceivable that in the next month, Dressrosa will continue to be noisy, and it will not be possible to be quiet for even half a second.
With the start of the competition, the scuffle of thousands of people in various arenas also kicked off. The intense schedule did not cause chaos, but it felt orderly.
Hundreds of people form a group and fight in a small circle. The three who stand at the end are the winners and qualify for the final. The competition process was extremely fierce, but the death rate was not high, because the price to pay for killing people was too high, and an opponent could be easily eliminated by knocking people to the ground or pushing out of the circle.
With such a choice, few people would foolishly choose to kill their opponents, otherwise he who had consumed a lot of energy would be the next one to be eliminated.
In this way, the process of the competition is also extremely fast. Basically, within ten minutes, the results of a group competition will be reached. It took only twenty minutes. On average, twenty-five groups of hundreds of contestants can be held in half an hour for each arena. Adding up the ten arenas, tsk tsk, 25,000 people can be eliminated in half an hour. Pirates are just a drop in the ocean, but half an hour has such an efficiency. If it lasts for a month, I'm afraid they will really successfully complete this qualifier.
There are only three winners in a group of 100 people in the preliminaries. This mechanism retains those potential seeds to the greatest extent and avoids the consequences of being eliminated because multiple strong players are in the same group. In this way, after one month As soon as the list of 30,000 finalists came out, at least half of the 30,000 people were elite pirates.
The competition went extremely smoothly, the streamlined competition was not complicated at all, and the list of winners was also quite simple. The only troublesome thing was selecting the cannon fodder troops.
Don't forget, another reason for Yeyue to hold this competition is to recruit 300,000 cannon fodder troops, which may not sound like a lot, but it is not an easy job to win over these pirates quietly. This is much more troublesome than holding a competition.
Fortunately, Wilbur thought of a very effective method, the Evil Ghost Alliance reserve team. Although it is not as attractive as the Starry Pirates, the reputation of the Goblin Alliance is equally prominent, allowing these eliminated guys to become the reserve team of the Goblin League, they are not happy if they have the opportunity to join the Goblin League It's crazy.
Therefore, most people basically agreed without the slightest hesitation, but they didn't know that with this promise, half of their foot had already stepped into the gate of hell.
As for whether these pirates will disobey the command or even run away, Yeyue is not worried at all. The so-called cannon fodder troops are sent to die. In a situation where there are wolves in the front and tigers in the back, they have no other choice. They will die if they flee, or die if they fight. Yeyue doesn't believe that these garbage pirates will be slaughtered. Don't fight back.
As long as these guys are afraid of death and will rise up to resist in a desperate situation, then Yeyue's goal of consuming the government army has been achieved.
In the same way, Yeyue is going to let the 30,000 finalists join the pre-selection team of the Star Pirates. Of course, these 30,000 people are different from the cannon fodder army. These people can be called elite troops. Yeyue plans to help them improve Give them a taste of their strength, and they will definitely do things for themselves without hesitation.
For these pirates with extraordinary potential, strength is even more important than life! With a shortcut that can quickly improve their strength, even if they are asked to work hard, they will never hesitate.
Chapter 361 The Amazing Straw Hat
"Hey!!"
In one of the ten pre-selection arenas, ten groups of pirates fought chaotically. In one group, a hundred pirates fought in a melee, with figures flying around and various weapons and moves emerging one after another. One of them was a thin and small man who was particularly eye-catching.
"That's the pirate rookie Straw Hat Luffy! The big pirate with a reward of 280 million, who appeared in the top battle two years ago, is said to be the younger brother of Fire Fist Ace. After two years, we can see , this straw hat kid's strength has improved so amazingly that even the evil boxer Bings is no match for him."
The narrator on the side introduced the information of this thin and small man in a timely manner. Monkey D Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, was a supernova pirate who belonged to the same year as the evil ghost Yeyue, the head of the Three Emperors. Strength is no small matter.
Sure enough, two years later, Luffy not only has a much more aggressive fighting style, but also has a high degree of proficiency in the application of domineering, armed with color, and knowledge with his heart. Even his rubber fruit ability has developed a lot of new skills. His moves are quite powerful.
At this moment, Luffy is full of excitement. This kind of melee is very familiar to him, because he has been in such an environment for the past two years! Hades Rayleigh threw him on a deserted island full of giant beasts, and his domineering was learned and mastered in such a melee.
"Rubber rubber, bazooka!!"
Luffy yelled, shaking his wrist, and then swung forward violently, his arm stretched infinitely, and his fist covered in armed colors hit the face of an unlucky pirate in the distance, and he burst into tears Hengliu, with stars in his eyes, fell to the ground as soon as he blinked, announcing that he was out.
Seeing the mighty Luffy, all the pirates around subconsciously chose to stay away, not daring to be enemies with him.
It's too scary, isn't it? When they saw Luffy's small body, they thought he was easy to bully, but who knew that this guy was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and easily eliminated several famous pirates with a wave of his hand.
Although the strength of these pirates is not very outstanding, they still have good eyesight. One look at Luffy's shot and you can tell that this kid's strength has exceeded their average level. Instead of fighting him, it is better to fight for the remaining What about the two final places?
The implication is that Luffy has easily booked one place in the finals, and there are only two left for them to compete for.
"Hee hee hee, don't be afraid, come and have a good fight with me, everyone!"
Luffy, a single-minded guy, still doesn't know why. Seeing everyone's fearful appearance, he grinned and encouraged him.
All the pirates couldn't help but rolled their eyes when they heard the words, and didn't reply, they just kept away from Luffy silently. In an instant, the surroundings of Luffy were cleared, and only a few unconscious guys were left on the ground.
