(A/N: man, it's been a really long time since I've been awake to update at this time xD)
Under the presentation of Ann and Festa, the strong men of the Big Daddy Pirates appeared one by one.
After Ann herself sang a song, the One Piece Expo officially opened.
The final winner will be the strongest person and the prize will be presented after the diva Uta sings the closing song!
After announcing the rules set by Bullet himself, the battle officially started.
Bullet's rule is that there are no rules!
Whoever can stand at the end will get Laugh Tale's eternal pose and the mythical Phoenix Fruit.
At this moment, all the participants in the battle at the ruins of the Maggo Kingdom were boiling, and they were roaring crazily.
As for Bullet, he jumped right into the huge battle-damaged style ring, still in ruins from the Buster Call blast from more than twenty years ago.
"Hey!! If you want the eternal pose and Phoenix fruit, defeat me!"
"Let me see what you guys are made of first!"
"The weak better leave!!"
Bullet smiled ferociously in excitement, his pupils focused, and a terrifying wave of Conqueror's Haki surged and spread in all directions.
A large number of pirates instantly had their eyes roll to the back of their heads and fell down under the powerful pressure of his Conqueror's Haki.
"Conqueror's Haki, you're not the only one who has it!"
Among the many pirates and bounty hunters, a strong old man with a concave head also released his Conqueror's Haki and competed against Bullet.
But there was still a big gap between their power.
"Weak, too weak!"
Bullet grinned, and strengthened his haki again, crushing the old man's haki.
"Bullet, you are still as arrogant as ever!"
A Conqueror's Haki wave comparable to Bullet's erupted, and a white-haired old man wearing gold-rimmed glasses appeared with a bottle of wine in his hand taking a casual sip after speaking.
"Rayleigh, you old guys finally came out!"
Bullet looked at the old men like Rayleigh and Gaban excitedly, and the blood in his body had already begun to boil!
On the high platform, Buggy was also very excited when he saw Rayleigh. He wanted to hug his thigh and cry.
At this time, a terrifying sword energy rushed towards Bullet.
"snort~!"
Bullet didn't even try to dodge, he raised his hand directly and unleashed his terrifying Armament Haki, blasting away the pink sword energy.
"Former Admiral Candidate, Momousagi Gion? Huh? The old woman Tsuru is here too! And, Garp!!!"
Bullet's eyes became more excited when he saw more and more powerful people showing up.
"Bullet-senpai, it's not polite to leak your Conqueror's Haki like that."
An even more powerful Conqueror's Haki blasted directly towards Bullet and Rayleigh's.
Under the terrifying Conqueror's Haki of the Red-haired Shanks, Bullet and Rayleigh's haki collapsed together, ending the Conqueror's clash.
On the shore, a coffin shaped boat lit with green candles quickly docked, and a swordsman carrying a black sword landed on Maggo Island with great interest.
"Shichibukai, the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk is also here!"
A bounty hunter shouted. There were too many big shots today and most people were feeling overwhelmed.
"Mihawk, you're here too!"
Shanks shouted excitedly when he saw his old friend, and almost went up to have a chat with him.
"Forced summons by the World Government"
Mihawk said expressionlessly, his golden pupils looking at powerful men like Rayleigh and Bullet, and even looking at the powerful swordswoman Momousagi.
At this moment, an icebreaker also hit Maggo Island directly with an unstoppable speed.
"Basire! You will die today!!"
The last remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, member of the Shichibukai, the ice witch Whitey Bay also came to the island with her crew.
This time the Naval Headquarters all-out attack gave her an opportunity to avenge the Whitebeard Pirates.
She looked at the Big Daddy Pirates on the high platform. Whether it was because of orders, revenge, or to get back Marco's Phoenix Fruit, they just couldn't miss this battle.
"Ahaha! It's getting more and more interesting!"
Bullet laughed and said, the more strong people participating in the battle, the better. He only wants to have a good fight today.
…
On a remote island off the coast of Maggo Island, a large number of warships from the Naval Headquarters are waiting for a better time to enter.
The best time is, of course, when the pirates are all hurt, they will come in forcefully to take them all down.
With people like Gion and Tsuru, Garp, along with the last couple of Shichibukai serving as pawns, the Marines' strength is not weak either.
Moreover, Basire has not taken action yet, so the Elder and Akainu are not in a hurry to take action.
At this time, on a luxury ship, a CP0 wearing a white suit hurriedly rushed to Saint Ethanbaron V Nusjuro.
"We have detected the presence of the Oro Jackson. Do you want to send troops to encircle and catch them?"
The CP0 team leader reported to the elder in a serious tone. In their task list, the Oro Jackson with the Road Poneglyph is also a first-class task.
This is no less important than the eternal pose to Laugh Tale.
After all, as long as the World Government seizes a piece of Road Poneglyph, they will also cut off the possibility of finding the final island.
"It really attracted both the big and small fish."
[Warrior God of Finance] Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, holding the supreme sword Shodai Kitetsu, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"Kizaru, Fujitora, you two are going to intercept the Oro Jackson, but no warship can get close to the Whirlpool Swordsman Spencer!"
Saint Nusjuro said with a stern face, in the past twenty years, the World Government has not stopped hunting down the Oro Jackson.
However, Spencer's Whirlpool Fruit ability is too troublesome. He can control and create deep-sea whirlpools from hundreds or thousands of meters away and easily sink the pursuing warships into the sea.
To deal with the Oro Jackson, one still needs to be strong in air combat.
"What about Basire?"
Kizaru asked hesitantly, if there are two less Marine Admirals, can they still beat the Big Daddy Pirates?
"Isn't there also Red-haired Shanks?"
Saint Nusjuro waved his hand and said. Neither he nor Shanks would allow Laugh Tale's eternal pose to exist.
As long as they destroy this eternal pose and grab a Road Poneglyph, this is more important than killing Basire.
If they manage to do both tasks, then no one can reach the final island!
"clear."
Kizaru had no choice but to accept this order. Fujitora smiled and waved his sword, a purple halo of light shot out, and a warship under their command floated weightlessly.
Like Garp's dog-headed warship, this warship has a charging energy cannon that allows it to quickly charge in and pursue, and even fly briefly.
Under Fujitora's devil fruit ability, the warship moved faster and flew directly in the direction of the Oro Jackson.
