Chapter 231: Chapter 231: The Sword Competition Restarts Ten Years Later
While everyone was cheering for Li Yuan, the staff behind the scenes brought piles of berries and treasures to the battlefield.
The pile of shells and treasures also made many people shift their attention from Li Yuan to the piles of treasures and shells.
The glittering treasures and the smell of treasure blowing in the face made countless people around the world jealous, wishing they could rush over and take all the treasures for themselves.
"My God, so many berries and treasures, how much are they?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"What a success! If I were there, I would definitely rush over and grab them all!"
At this moment, everyone in the world was watching the berries and treasures being carried
up.
The piles of berries and treasures simply blinded the eyes of people all over the world!
The audience was even more stunned. If they hadn't seen the officers of the Wuji Pirate Group suppressing them, they would have wanted to rob directly.
"The first World Kendo Tournament has officially ended. The next World Kendo Tournament will be held in the year 1502 of the Kaien calendar. The Wuji Pirates will announce the exact date when the time comes."
"Now please invite the top eight contestants to come on stage and take their prizes."
"The first place winner of the sword competition, Li Yuan, will receive 10 billion berries and a supreme sword, the Wind-Splitting and Water-Flowing Sword."
"The second place winner, Roger, received 8 billion berries and a large sword, Liuguang."
"The third place is Redfield, who received 6 billion Baileys."
"The fourth place winner, Wang Zhi, received 5 billion taels."
"Fifth place: Rayleigh, received 4 billion berries."
"The sixth place winner, Golden Lion Shiki, received 3 billion berries."
"The seventh place winner is Yuan Liusai Shigekuni, who received 2 billion pelis."
"Eighth Silver Axe, gets 1 billion Berry."
As the beautiful woman's voice fell, Li Yuan and the other eight contestants all came to the award ceremony.
In order to make the rewards look more valuable, the rewards are half beli and half treasure, which completely hits the audience's greedy mind.
The total treasure and jewels here amount to 39 billion. No one can refuse such a huge amount.
This made everyone in the world remember how wealthy the Promise Pirates were and how important the World Kendo Championship was!
"Hahahahaha, there are so many treasures! This is the first time I have obtained so much treasure!"
When Roger saw the pile of treasure and jelly that belonged to him, he simply pounced on it, picked it up, and rolled a few times.
"Roger, this is being broadcast live to the whole world, can you please stop being so embarrassing?"
Seeing his captain's silly look, Rayleigh couldn't help but hold his forehead.
Although their pirate group is indeed poor, there is no need to show it. Can't they just fight after moving the treasure back to the ship?
Didn't you, Roger, say before that you don't like treasure? Why are you acting so badly now?
"Hahahaha, take it all. This belongs to you. If you can't carry it all by yourself, call your companions to help you. Anyway, I won't help you move it."
Li Yuan smiled.
"Captain, Captain, I'll help you move it!!!"
As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, a little boy with a red nose, who looked about seven or eight years old, ran over excitedly from the audience stand, threw himself on the pile of treasures, and rolled around like Roger.
This is not moving at all, it's clearly hugging and rolling!
"Bucky, didn't you guys say you were here to move treasure? Why are you fighting?"
The red-haired Shanks also ran over from behind.
After seeing this scene, Rayleigh didn't want to persuade him anymore. He decided to move the treasure back as soon as possible. He couldn't continue to embarrass himself here and embarrass the whole world!
"Marco, when you go back, collect some detailed instructions on the Six Styles of the Navy and Wuji Swordsmanship, and then you can practice them. If you don't practice, you will be eliminated in the future!"
Standing on the armor, Whitebeard looked at the Battle Pyramid not far away and said.
How could Whitebeard not know the purpose of the Battle Pyramid?
With this fighting pyramid, people in the Promise Pirates will come here when they want to fight, and fighting is the fastest way to increase strength.
In time, batches of elite fighters will emerge in the Promise Pirates, which will steadily increase the strength of the Promise Pirates.
Although the Whitebeard Pirates and the Wuji Pirates are not enemies because of the relationship between Li Yuan and Whitebeard, who can predict what will happen in the future?
Most importantly, Li Yuan told him before that Life Return can also improve the backlash caused by the Zhenzhen Fruit.
White Beard knew very well the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. The Tremor-Tremor Fruit was very strong, but the backlash was also very severe. Now that he was at the peak of his power, he was not afraid of any backlash.
But as he gets older and his physical strength declines, the hidden injuries accumulated from the past plus the backlash from the Zhen Zhen Fruit will be fatal.
He didn't care before because he didn't consider what would happen in a dozen years, but after Li Yuan reminded him, he felt that it would be better to resolve this matter in advance, otherwise he would not be able to protect his children in the future.
Life return is a kind of ability that can be controlled by the mind after practicing physical skills to the extreme. Whitebeard has not mastered the technique of life return now, but it should not be difficult if he wants to.
"Dad, I understand. I will work hard to become stronger when I return."
Marco understood the hidden meaning of Whitebeard's words.
"Dad, I will also work hard to practice, and I will also participate in the next World Sword Tournament, so that the whole world will know that our Whitebeard Pirates also have
powerful swordsmen!"
Bista said firmly.
"Gulala, just think that you have done well enough, and daddy can protect you."
Whitebeard smiled with relief.
After the World Kendo Tournament ended, the pirate groups left one after another.
However, many swordsmen chose to stay on the island of Venice and in the fighting pyramid.
Because the Battle Pyramid is a place where they can be tempered.
After the World Kendo Tournament ended, the Battle Pyramid became a true fighting
sanctuary.
Here, each layer corresponds to a level of combat power. From the first layer to the seventeenth layer, the combat power increases as you go higher.
If you want to fight at a higher level, you need to fight your way up from the first level one
level at a time.
Each time you fight a battle, you can get a certain amount of points. Only when you reach a certain amount of points can you fight on the next level. The higher the level, the more points
you can get for each battle.
Points can be exchanged for berries, spent in the battle pyramid, or exchanged for various
rewards released by the battle pyramid, including famous swords, devil fruits, guns and ammunition, ships, treasures, etc.
It can be said that as long as you are a strong person who wants to fight and get a lot of berries at the same time, fighting in the pyramid is the best choice.
Those who want to hone themselves, become stronger, and change their destiny through
fighting, all come here after hearing the rules and regulations of the Fighting Pyramid.
After the World Kendo Tournament made the Venetian Fighting Pyramid famous, once the rules of the Fighting Pyramid were announced, countless people from all over the world wanted to come to the Fighting Pyramid.
The Promise Pirates rely on the Battle Pyramid as a money-making weapon, and can be said to be collecting money without doing anything.
Although 150 billion berries were invested in the initial construction, 39 billion berries were taken out as rewards for the World Kendo Conference, and tens of thousands of people were sent to the Battle Pyramid to be responsible for various affairs.
So much manpower and material resources have been spent, but it was all worth it. Now it only takes one or two years to earn back all the money spent before, and the subsequent
income will be pure net profit.
Fishman Island:
This special fishman habitat, located 10,000 meters deep under the sea, is the only informal passage from the first half of the Grand Line to the New World.
With the advent of the Age of Pirates, more and more pirates are traveling to the New World
via Fishman Island. Especially with the recent World Kendo Tournament, the number of people passing through Fishman Island has increased exponentially.
The consequence was that Fishman Island suffered from the impact of huge traffic and
suffered heavy damage every day.
With the arrival of many slave-hunting groups, which captured many mermen and fishmen to sell, the situation on Fishman Island became even worse.
In the Dragon Palace, the Kingdom of Neptune felt helpless as the situation on Fishman
Island became increasingly worse.
"Princess, what do you think we should do? How about we ask for protection from those big pirates? I know the Whitebeard Pirates, and maybe we can use the power of the Whitebeard
Pirates to scare those pirates."
Neptune sighed.
Fishman Island has always asked the World Government for help, but every time the World Government said that it would send the navy to protect Fishman Island, but every time the navy came, they just took a look, caught a few pirates, and left.
The Navy said that they had no obligation to stay on Fishman Island for a long time. "The Whitebeard Pirates' territory is at the back of the New World, and our Fishman Island is at the front of the New World. The two are too far apart." "What's more, there are many pirate groups in the New World now. The Whitebeard Pirate
Group's deterrent power is not enough to protect our Fishman Island, unless Whitebeard
comes to live in Fishman Island himself, but this is impossible."
Princess Yi Ji shook her head. Although Otohime is very saintly and naive, she still has analytical skills, otherwise she would
not have become a princess.
"According to the princess, only the Wuji Pirates and the Feikong Pirates can protect us. Which one should we choose? Will they agree to our choice after we choose it?"
Neptune continued to ask.
"I heard that Li Yuan, the captain of the Wuji Pirates, hates slave-hunting groups very much,
so all slave trades in the waters ruled by the Wuji Pirates have been cancelled, and all slave-
hunting groups are not allowed to enter the Wuji Pirates, otherwise they will be killed by the Wuji Pirates."
"Also, the Wuji Pirates have a murloc captain named Gerald, who has been following Li Yuan since the Rocks era. I heard that he was a slave before."
"Jerald has been back to Fishman Island for a while before. I think we can use Gerald's
connections to show the goodwill of Fishman Island to Li Yuan of the Promise Pirates."
Otohime analyzed carefully.
Compared to the Hiku Pirates, the Muji Pirates are a more suitable choice for Fishman Island.
This is Otohime's analysis.
"In that case, let's choose the Promise Pirates. I hope they can help us at Fishman Island."
Neptune said.
Their Fishman Island is too weak to independently maintain Fishman Island in this pirate
age.
Although the fishmen are naturally stronger than humans, they have never had any advantage in high-level combat power. Some powerful pirates can knock down all the fishmen soldiers on Fishman Island!
