The strongest vice captain of One Piece

He wears an ancient Roman war helmet that looks like a rooster's comb on his head. The only feature on his face is the pointed and long goatee on his chin. His upper body is nothing but a decorative cloak. Completely naked, he stands with swords in his powerful-looking hands. Such a bronze bust of a gladiator that fits the arena style does not feel out of place in a room full of weapons, but it unconsciously blends in with the statue. When their eyes met, a strong sense of pressure hit them.

"Cyrus, surprisingly is a very common name." He gently read the name on the base of the statue, and Nero read the deeds written on it very quietly.

He had won three thousand battles and had no defeat until the ruins were silenced 20 years ago. The scar left on his body was the only scar he received from the enemy in a certain battle.

"It's incredible that such a gladiator exists." After Rebecca noticed Nero's actions, she also looked up at the tall bronze statue in front of her with emotion. "In fact, most people in this country have little respect for Cyrus. The only thing that is known about him is what is written on the nameplate. Many people even doubt whether the legend of this greatest gladiator is just a story. But what is incredible is that even though no one knows him, no one intends to withdraw it. This bronze statue.”

"Legend? That kind of look is not something that an artist can just imagine. And if winning three thousand games in a row can be considered a legend, then the legend is too cheap." The faint blue flame started from the waist up. Spreading upward, the clothing material quickly turned into ashes and disappeared, and the hair that had lost the restraints of the hairband all scattered into a shiny black ribbon that would make most women jealous.

The arm wrapped in flames casually grabbed the huge tower shield on the side. The hard metal liquefied and shrank like a candle close to the flame. It finally turned into a ball of liquid the size of a baby's fist, which squirmed and was pulled by a force to form A metal band full of hollow patterns tied the black hair into a ponytail.

"The long-retired gladiator Nero Tempest often traded injuries for his life in fair transactions. He has fought thousands of battles, but no matter whether the opponent is a human or an animal, I am the one who survives in the end."

"Gladiator?" The scene that happened before indeed proved that the opponent was not mediocre, but looking at Nero's upper body without a single scar was really not what a gladiator who traded injuries for his life should look like. But Rebecca didn't intend to delve into it. She went down, and after hearing the other party say her number, she gave up the possibility of continuing to be friendly with him.

There are groups of one hundred people, and the slave gladiators will be assigned arbitrarily. In the most brutal knockout stage, no one will show mercy for someone they just met. In the melee of hundreds of people, any mercy at all means the possibility of failure. Gladiator fight Failure on the field usually means death. "Rebecca the Sword Fighter."[

"Hey, what are you looking at?" Wearing a straw hat and a beach T-shirt full of sunflowers, the two hideous scars crossing on his open chest look extremely eye-catching. The only difference between my captain and his wife is his face. Put on that exaggerated fake beard and sunglasses that cover your eyes.

In Azeroth, if Luffy were a little stronger, his current appearance might be particularly favored by the beauties of the dwarves. However, judging from the aesthetics of other races, this is an old man who still wants to look young. An old gangster who is always galloping.

"Hehehe, my name is Luci. I'm also a fighter who signed up for the competition. Please take care of me when we meet for the first time!" Luffy grinned, and when paired with the big beard that completely covered the lower half of his face, he suddenly had a unique look.

It felt obscene. But Nero could easily read the meaning of "Come and praise me" from the face under the beard.

Just cooperate with him. As far as Luffy is concerned, it is already amazing to achieve this level. Moreover, his name was not on the list of secret infiltrators at the beginning. This simple guy has no talent for being a spy no matter what he thinks."

Isn’t that right? Nice to meet you. It’s really amazing for someone at your age to participate in a fighting competition.”

"Ho ho ho, don't underestimate the elderly. I'm very strong." Seeing that Nero was also fooled by his disguise, Luffy suddenly became proud. He deliberately pretended to be like an old man while talking.

He gestured with his fleshless arms a few times, and finally coughed a few times. "Hmm, my name is Luci. I am an old man who wants to become the Pirate King."

"Suffer death, Luffy!" When a resentful voice sounded, cold light also bloomed and stabbed towards Luffy at the same time. Several people around him who were watching secretly were ready to take action. But things didn't happen.

It didn't continue to develop, and the sword stopped when it was about to touch Luffy's body.

"L-u--y, isn't your guy's name Luci?" White Horse Cavendish read the name on the number plate posted on Luffy's back, and put the sword into its sheath very gracefully. "Place."

If your pronunciation is so strong, don't learn it like those young people.

You bastard, Straw Hat, almost made me disqualified from participating. If you are really that guy, Straw Hat Luffy, even if I lose the qualification because of killing you, it doesn't matter. But losing the opportunity to obtain ancient weapons just to kill an impostor is not worth it."

Cavendish said this and sat down on the equipment box beside him with a look of lack of interest. He took out a white rose from his arms and elegantly ate the rose petals one by one.

"What, the original name is Luci. It almost made me think Straw Hat Luffy was here."

"Really, what kind of fanatic fan can an uncle be?"

"Think about it. I heard that the Straw Hat Boy is a strong man eight meters tall."

The gladiators and administrators who were watching breathed a sigh of relief and began to curse and scold the uncle for not sticking his tongue out when he spoke. Luffy didn't take it seriously either and looked like he was grinning.

Although after feeling the sharp murderous aura just now, he was ready to dodge and fight back. But since the murderous aura disappeared in an instant, Luffy had no intention of thinking about it anymore. This time, his character sneaked in secretly as a spy and was exposed here.

If the identity is different, the mission has failed. Luffy is still very satisfied with the success of his disguise.

"Is there anyone here who is unhappy with Straw Hat Luffy?"

He kicked away the gladiator who was standing in front of him mercilessly with one foot. A face that looked like a beast appeared and seemed to clear the place. Most of the spectators hurriedly hid.[

"[Ogre] Bartolomeo!"

"Get out of here quickly, I heard this guy enjoys eating people's hearts."

"He is the number one person in the world who most wants him to disappear! Why would such a person come here?"

After hearing the discussion of the people around him, Bartolomeo dug his ears. After this ferocious pirate dressed as a bosozoku glanced at the people around him with bloodthirsty eyes, he stretched out his scarlet tongue and licked the sharp ones.

Fang. "How dare you say that to Straw Hat Luffy in front of me? Do you know what will happen if you make me angry?"

Private fights in the audience will disqualify the competition, but after Nero's previous behavior, these people have some doubts about the binding force of the rules of the arena. Bartolomeo's face is getting more and more serious.

The bloodthirsty expression also seems to confirm this.

"Pfft!" Bartolomeo suddenly farted loudly, and the bloodthirsty expression on his face turned into a lazy and disdainful look. "How could I give up my qualification because of you little people?"

"Mr. Nero, I'm really sorry for the rudeness just now." Bartolomeo suddenly bowed to Nero, his sincere attitude was completely different from his previous unruly look. "There is one thing.

If I want to ask you a favor, please be sure to promise me."

"Well, it doesn't matter. If I can, I don't mind helping you a little." I don't know what kind of medicine this guy who appeared out of nowhere sells in his gourd, and the fanaticism in his eyes made Nero a little uncomfortable.

The look on this guy's face gave Nero some bad suspicions... If that's what he wanted, he would be killed immediately.

"Please~~~please help me sign~~~sign your name." Bartolomeo tremblingly took out a delicate little notebook and a beautiful pen from his arms and sent them to Nero. He looked so coquettish.

And her shy look reminded him of a crazy girl who asked for the autograph of the star she admired.

Looking at the coy guy in front of him but dressed like a bosozoku, Nero, who really didn't know what to do, could only maintain a somewhat stiff expression on his face, picked up a pen and wrote his name in the notebook.

"Thank you very much!" Bartolomeo hugged the autograph book to his chest as if he had found a treasure, and his face flushed with happiness. "Luffy-sama's words on the execution platform in Rogge Town made me laugh.

I was shocked. Since then, I have been paying attention to you, and I have collected every issue of wanted notices and news about you..."

I'm really a crazy fan. Isn't the setting of this pig's foot halo a bit ridiculous? The corner of Nero's mouth twitched, but being worshiped by such a guy to this extent doesn't give him any sense of accomplishment. Think about his past life

Those guys who like to make pillows out of photos of celebrities they admire seem to have this kind of business in this era of great pirates... Nero suddenly felt that he should evaporate from the world.

"I came to the competition this time to help you get back the things stolen by the thief, but I didn't expect you to come in person. But I don't plan to quit. I am a player in Group B, so I can only compete in the final battle.

I will meet you in China. If~~~I am

Say~~~If I am lucky enough to be the champion, I will give you the prize. But please~~~Please..." Bartolomeo stammered, Nero was already ready to say it before him

He said something strange and instantly killed him with his ultimate move.

"...Please help me get Luffy-sama's autograph!"

"Luffy?" After the pattern on the pillow held by Bartolomeo in his mind changed to the confused guy next to him, Nero breathed a sigh of relief. His expression returned to a kind smile, "You admire me very much.

Luffy?"

"That's right, although Mr. Nero, you, Mr. Zoro, Mr. Sanji... and even Mr. Fun Clay who just joined are so handsome. But as expected, it's still Luffy-sama..."

"That's enough. I will help you get an autograph. It's not a problem to have lunch with him if you want. Just do what you want." Nero patted Bartolomeo's shoulder and understood.

The person he admired was Luffy himself. By the way, Nero suddenly became more fond of this guy. But it’s better not to let Shirley know about this kind of thing. That little girl is too receptive. I don’t know what she will write again.

Something weird.

"Let's have lunch together - I will definitely do it!" Bartolomeo nodded vigorously, almost jumping with excitement. "Have lunch with Luffy-sama..."

Nero glanced at Luffy who felt good about himself because of Bartolomeo's words, and then looked at Bartolomeo who was walking away surrounded by pink light. "You are really guilty.

ah."

"Ah? What do you mean Nero?"

"No, I mean you should choose some equipment that you will use later. The weapons and armor here can be used at will."

"What! Really? That's so cool!" Luffy jumped up happily, holding the awning with his hands and looking around. "Oh!! That one is good, and that one! I will definitely look very handsome in it."

After Luffy ran away in a hurry, Cavendish just happened to chew the last rose petal slowly. "I didn't expect that I would lose to such a simple and graceless guy."

"Oh? It seems that you are not someone who can't even see through such a simple disguise." Nero looked at the noble-like guy in front of him with a half-smile.

"I want to kill him, but I don't want to risk my life because of this kind of thing." Cavendish fiddled with the bare rose branches in his hands, "Just like this rose, although when I picked it,

It might sting me. But even if I bleed, its petals will be eaten by me.

, so this kind of thing is meaningless. If I had taken action just now, at least three people would have taken action to kill me at that moment. And I may not be able to kill the Straw Hat Kid in such a short time. I will defeat you in the knockout round.

, and then killed him fair and square in the finals."

"Really? Then I'll wait and see."

"Stay tuned."

ps: Because the driving license subject 3 practice was suspended for a week, I originally wanted to pass it once and be done with it. I went to the test with full confidence, but in the end I failed... I already spent almost all my part-time money on changing to a computer, and the results were much better.

Spend more than 300.
