Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

After the dinner, the king directly arranged for Zhang Daye and the others to rest in the palace, and they spent the night without talking.

Early the next morning, everyone went to the competition site with the king after having breakfast.

More than three hundred contestants were already resting or warming up in the preparation room.

Although the competition venue was built in only half a month and is not that spectacular in appearance, it still has many facilities such as auditoriums, VIP seats, lounges, etc.

Zhang Daye and the others followed Elizabello into the venue, and except for Ye Yan, Misaka and Tom, they all sat in the VIP seats as arranged by Vasco da Gama.

By this time, the auditorium was already full, including people from home countries and people from neighboring countries who came specially to watch the fun.

Of course, there are also people selling betting tickets circulating among the auditoriums, but most of the players haven't shown up yet, so there aren't many people placing bets.

At this time, a handsome middle-aged man in noble clothing bowed slightly and saluted the king. The king nodded to him to indicate that it was time to start.

The man walked to the commentator's seat, picked up the phone's microphone and tried the sound test, and then said: "Dear guests, contestants, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the first boxing competition of the Kingdom of Prudence!"

"oh!!!"

"Mr. Dias!"

There were enthusiastic cheers. This handsome man seemed to be a celebrity.

Vasco da Gama introduced to Zhang Daye and the others in a low voice: "This Mr. Dias is the captain of the former kingdom's expedition team. He once explored a new route that is most suitable for navigation for the kingdom and saved a lot of expenses for the kingdom, so He has received awards from His Majesty the King and is very popular.”

Zhang Da hadn't heard clearly when the audience called out his name just now, but after Vasco da Gama introduced it, he noticed that the name 'Dias' seemed familiar, as if he had seen it in a junior high school geography book.

He gave Jackie Chan a confused look, and Jackie Chan nodded, indicating that his guess was correct.

This Dias has the same name as the Portuguese navigator who discovered the Cape of Good Hope in history.

Moreover, it seems that the name of the military counselor Vasco da Gama is also the same as the Portuguese navigator who discovered and opened up a route from Europe around the Cape of Good Hope to India.

Uncle Long felt that this was such a coincidence. He suddenly remembered that there was a director named Magellan in the Deep Sea Prison.

‘Could it be that this kind of name, like Li Lei and Han Meimei, is very common? Or is it another ‘me’ in a parallel world? ’

Uncle Long shook his head, put aside his doubts and continued to watch the game.

Dias made a few brief opening remarks and then explained the rules of the qualifying round.

"Then please invite the contestants to come out and hit the boxing strength tester on the ring one by one according to the pre-drawn numbers!"

Five testing instruments have been placed on the ring, and there is a recorder next to each testing instrument.

Zhang Da also saw Ye Yan wearing referee's clothes, standing seriously like a human with a pen and a notebook, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Misaka acted as a humanoid security camera at the entrance to the ring, carefully watching every player, including Tom.

The contestants were a little confused about the presence of a cat among the crowd, and some went to ask the staff.

"What? That cat is actually a contestant?"

"Really or not? You're right?"

The staff member said seriously: "Yes, his name is Tom. Although I don't know what happened, he has definitely signed up."

In accordance with Zhang Daye's request, Vasco da Gama did not give any special preferential treatment except helping Tom sign up, and completely let him play by himself.

Although he was a little worried that Mr. Tom would be bullied by those vicious players, Mr. Tatsuya said it was okay, so da Gama simply did not tell the people below, and planned to wait until he passed the preliminaries before making arrangements.

However, the preliminary qualification line for boxing strength in the preliminaries is 800 kilograms. Mr. Tom is so small that he has to jump up to hit the instrument. Can he really pass the preliminaries?

The fact that a cat became a contestant caused a little discussion. Some people thought it was random, while others began to pray that they would meet the cat in the first round, which would save a lot of energy.

Hearing the words "The preliminaries have officially begun," Misaka said to the players: "Players No. 1 to No. 5, please come on."

After finishing speaking, he giggled again: "Huhu, Misaka is the referee, huhu..."

Five contestants came on stage, and the other contestants looked puzzled. What is the Kingdom of Prudence doing?

First, a cat with a boxing glove became a contestant, and now a silly little girl became the referee. Isn't this game just trying to make a fool of us?

Bang, bang, bang...

The players followed Dias's instructions to punch the tester. Each player had two chances. The recordkeepers, including Ye Yan, wrote down the numbers one by one and reported the highest number among the two times.

"No. 1, 777kg, eliminated!"

"No. 2, 404kg, eliminated!"

"No. 3, 1024kg, advanced!"

"No 4……"

Zhang Da was also watching the fun in the audience. He felt that this group of people seemed to be really good. Judging from their strength alone, they probably couldn't even beat Tyson. They were scum.

Zhang Da also found that he was drifting and did not take the boxing champion seriously.

To be honest, this preliminary round is quite boring. It's like punching a number to get a number. It's like a student's physical test. If it weren't for the popularity of Dias as the host and his eloquence, and he has been working hard to liven up the atmosphere, there might be something wrong in this first round. The audience shouted for refund.

When Zhang Da was also a little drowsy, he was suddenly pushed by Perona: "Look, look! Ye Yan seems to be in trouble!"

Zhang Da also said: "What trouble can he get into? And why are you so happy that he is in trouble?"

Perona was unconvinced: "Aren't you laughing too?"

Zhang Da also denied: "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense. I'm just caring about him. It would be great if he was beaten... No, it would be bad if he was beaten."

On the ring, a muscular man with a height of 2.45 meters was looking down at Ye Yan: "Hey, boy, what did you just say about my strength?"

Ye Yan didn't even bother to raise his eyelids and said calmly: "Didn't you hear clearly? Contestant No. 47, weighing 799 kg, was eliminated. Is there any problem?"

The strong man clenched his fist and made a crisp sound, and threatened: "Of course, I think you remembered the number wrong, it should be 1799 kilograms!"

"Go down, uncle, you are just looking for a fight with your little strength. You just had a real weight of 1,799 kilograms."

"So what! As long as I pass the preliminaries, I will definitely have a way to beat him!" The strong man punched Ye Yan in the head.

Several referees nearby were anxious, and Dias on the high platform even shouted: "What happened! Player No. 47 seemed dissatisfied with his results and actually wanted to attack the referee! Guards, guards! Take him down quickly." !”

Several referees nearby were also anxious:

"Contestant No. 47, don't be impulsive!"

"Quick, get out of the way!"

However, this punch landed firmly on Ye Yan's head, but Ye Yan did not move at all. Instead, No. 47 grabbed his wrist and screamed in pain.

Thanks to Zhang Tatsuya, Ye Yan's iron training was extremely good. He adjusted his hairstyle:

"Ah? What were you doing just now, hitting me? Why did you say that, you didn't have the strength to hit anyone, and you still said you were a boxer?"

"Oh!!!" The audience cheered for Ye Yan. They didn't expect this young referee to be so powerful. That was a fist of nearly 800 kilograms. Most people would be beaten to death, right?

"The situation has reversed! Player No. 47 who attacked the referee was seriously injured!" Dias picked up the microphone excitedly. "Now that the guards have taken away player No. 47, the prisoner who attacked the referee will be severely punished. punish!"

At this time, the assistant next to him handed Dias a piece of information. Dias lowered his head and glanced at it, and continued to say excitedly: "Now, please allow me to solemnly introduce this young referee to you!"

"He is from the one who defeated three Shichibukai! The one who defeated the Yonko Kaido! The one who arrested countless vicious pirates! Mr. Ye Yan, the watchman of the Amber Tour Group!"

"We are very honored to have him as a special guest for this game, let us warmly welcome him!"

There was a brief silence in the audience, and then bursts of applause and cheers.

If Zhang Da was being praised in front of so many people, he might be a little embarrassed, but Ye Yan would not. He accepted the applause and cheers calmly, and even blew a kiss to the audience.

The contestants were all shocked. No wonder they looked familiar, as they were such famous figures.

It's just that as a player, I feel a little unhappy when the limelight is stolen by the referee.

Ye Yan ignored the unkind looks and waved to the contestants enthusiastically. Being robbed of the limelight shows that you are the best. You can't beat me to death if you don't like me anyway.
