One of the pirates, the knife will be destroyed

It turns out that starting early is the right choice.

Happily, on the way to Soderes, Xiao Li’s record pointer broke again, then got lost again, and then delayed for several days.

Finally, after fifteen days of wandering around the sea, I finally arrived at the venue on the day of the start of the World Sword Art Congress.

As a world-recognized sword art mecca, Soderres is a very prosperous country. People from all races and regions gather here, both to participate in the sword art tournament and to watch, and it can be said that it is very lively.

However, Xiao Li was not in the mood to visit this bustling city at the moment. Because the registration for the World Sword Art Congress is about to close.

“Xiao, Xiao Li, hurry up! With five minutes to go, registration closes! While pulling Xiao Li’s sleeve in front, Peach Rabbit was about to jump to his feet, and the whole person turned into an afterimage and walked through the venue.

“Three minutes to go!”

“Two minutes!”

Finally, he arrived at the registration office with great excitement, and Xiao Li finally successfully signed up for the sword art conference 50 seconds before the registration deadline.

Peach Rabbit gasped on the side, feeling as if he had experienced a life-and-death struggle. Xiao Li still looked indifferent, and walked around to see the scenery again.

In the wide venue of the World Sword Art Conference, Xiao Li found that most of the contestants were waiting in the preparation area for the competition to begin.

Among them, there were also many familiar faces, Ryoma, Foil Bista, Saatchi, Lakyo, etc. had long been sitting in the preparation area waiting for the moment to start.

In the corner of the preparation area, young Hawkeye and Fuji Tiger also arrived early, but Xiao Li did not recognize them for a while.

In addition, Mitsuki Ota of Roger’s Pirates also appeared at the venue with his two retainers, but Roger himself did not come.

In short, Xiao Li just glanced at it and saw many swordsmanship masters who were famous in the world, including some legendary great swordsmen and the like. It can be said that the lineup of this World Sword Art Conference is quite strong.

After all the participants had been checked, another two hours later, the conference officially began.

Walking into the main entrance of the venue, Xiao Li entered the center of the venue with the other players, and what appeared in front of them was a huge stage.

On the slowly rising platform, a loud voice sounded:

“Swordsmen, warriors, warriors who yearn for the pinnacle of swordsmanship, and spectators watching this conference from the field and around the world.”

“After ten years and a long period of preparation, we at Soderres have this exciting time again. Swordsmanship masters from all over the world gather here, step into Soderes with the same goal, and sharpen their swords for ten years, just to compete for the highest throne in the world. ”

“That’s right, it’s time, that moment has come! Now I announce—”

“Soderres’ 12th World Sword Art Congress, officially opened!”

“Oooo

Snap!

With the announcement of the host, the sword art conference resounded with extremely warm applause and cheers.

Xiao Li had to sigh that a world-class conference was grand in scale. Standing in the center of the venue, the audience alone gathered densely, conservatively estimated that there were at least 20,000 to 30,000 people in the entire venue.

The venue in the center of the venue used to test swordsmanship is also very wide, a circular field with a diameter of 1,000 meters, which is completely free to compete in swordsmanship.

However, for Xiao Li, it may be a little smaller.

“Of the twelve swordsmanship conferences so far, this one can be called the largest! In total, more than 500 swordsmen from all over the world signed up, more than double the number of the previous one! On the high platform in the center of the venue, the host’s voice continued to echo, “For this reason, our organizer also had to temporarily change the format. ”

“Due to the large number of participants, we had to divide all the competitors into two groups to compete separately.”

“In the two large groups of AB, more than 250 players were distributed, and two competitions were held. The conference adopts a single-elimination system, and in a total of eight rounds of matchup, the two groups of AB will be decided.”

“In the end, the two members of Groups A and B will compete in the final finals to determine the final winner of this conference, that is, the world’s number one swordsman!”

“The one who wins the final victory will also get a huge prize of 5 billion Bailey!”

With the announcement of the host, there was another excited shout from the venue, and the crowd of the venue surged up.

“So now, it’s up to me to announce the grouping of these 500-plus players.” The host then read the names of the contestants one by one, “First announce the list of players of A.” ”

“…… Tamade, the No. 22 player from the Tokai Windmill Village… No. 97 Jorakor Mihawk from the town of Auduben in the South China Sea…”

Groups are assigned randomly, not by serial number, so no one can estimate which group they will be assigned to.

Just after the host read more than 100 names, Xiao Li finally heard his own name.

“…… Player No. 125 from Kitada Village in the West Sea smiled … Xiao Li, the No. 233 player from the East China Sea…”

“I’ve been assigned to A.” Finally hearing his name, Xiao Li didn’t care about anything else.

But Peach Rabbit always paid attention to the grouping information and seemed to notice something: “Hey, Xiao Li, I feel that most of the powerful guys have been assigned to Group A.” Wouldn’t that be a little bad…”

“Wouldn’t that be better?” Xiao said indifferently, “I can also see more interesting swordsmanship. ”

“That, that’s right.”

As Peach Rabbit said, many of the strong players in this conference were assigned A, including Bista, Hawkeye, Fujitora, Lakyo, Saatchi and so on.

Even the winner of the previous congress and the current world’s number one swordsman Kinoro Kurokawa was also assigned an A.

Only Ryoma was placed in Group B.

“It seems that I have to play with Ryoma, and I have to wait until the finals.”

Hearing the results of the grouping, Xiao Li was not too surprised, but seemed to feel that this was a fateful arrangement.

After the grouping, there was a long silence, and the contestants were waiting for the moment to start.

After another few minutes, the host’s voice sounded again:

“Then make everyone wait for a long time! Now I announce that the first duel of A begins! ”

“No. 97 Jorakor Mihawk, against No. 188 Saatchi!”

With the cries of the crowd, the first battle of the World Sword Art Congress officially began.

At the same time, the live footage of the World Sword Art Convention was also captured by the camera phone bug and broadcast to all parts of the world.

“Whew, exhausted… I don’t know where Xiao Li is now with that kid. ”

“It must be fooling around somewhere in the New World again.”

In the fortress of the naval headquarters, Admiral Kong smoked a cigar while watching the broadcast of the World Sword Art Congress on the screen. In addition to his busy work, occasionally looking at new things from around the world is his only pastime.

“In other words, the scale of this World Sword Art Conference is really unprecedented, I heard that the sword hero Ryoma of the country of Wano has gone.” Zefa, who was chatting with Sora with him, said.

“You see, a few guys from the Whitebeard Pirates have also gone there.” Sora pointed to the screen and said, at this time, the host was announcing the names of the contestants.

“…… Player No. 125 from Kitada Village in the West Sea smiled … Xiao Li, the No. 233 player from the East China Sea…”

Then, Xiao Li’s name came out of the large phone worm.

“Well, what?! What did I hear? ”

“Xiao Li!”

Hearing the name broadcast on the screen, Zefa sat up sharply from the sofa.

“What are you kidding, Xiao left that kid to go to the World Sword Art Conference?”

“I just said that I haven’t seen him make big news in the past few days, so I ran there!” Marshal Air slapped the table excitedly.

At the same time, other officers in the navy headquarters who were watching the live broadcast also noticed Xiao Li’s participation one after another.

“I’m going, Lieutenant General Xiao Li is participating in the World Sword Art Conference!”

“He’s going there to make big news again!”

“Report and report Air Marshal! I heard that Lieutenant General Xiao Li participated in the World Sword Art Conference! Even Xiao Li’s adjutant Bastille directly rushed into the marshal’s office to report.

“Excuse me, how should I deal with this incident?”

After all, naval participation in such events held by non-world government allies is generally not allowed. Therefore, as Xiao Li’s subordinate, Bastille was also worried about whether Xiao Li would be punished for this.

Hearing this, Marshal Kong spat out a large puff of smoke with a serious expression.

“Inform all idle officers of the headquarters of the Navy.” Empty said word for word.

“Tell them, now give me to watch Xiao Li’s game, and you can’t leave a single one behind!”

“Huh?” The Air Marshal’s answer surprised Bastille.

“Hear no, it’s an order! This is an event of glory for our Navy! ”

“Yes, yes!” Leaving in a panic, Bastille went to inform the navies.

“See, Xiao Li is going to kill in the World Sword Art Conference!”

“Now there’s something to see!”

“Oh oh oh, everyone come to see, let’s watch the good show!”

So, under the call of Marshal Kong, the officers who were fine all sat down in front of the large telephone worm, watching this World Series in which Xiao Li participated ……_
