Dressrosa, Bullfight Arena.
The man on the field continued to defeat one enemy after another, fully demonstrating his overwhelming strength.
In less than ten minutes, all the one hundred people on the field were completely defeated by him.
The victorious man turned around and walked off the ring with an expressionless face.
"He is indeed quite strong and has great potential. If he can be trained well, he should be a good fighting force."
Rocks watched Cyrus' entire battle and gave a pretty good evaluation.
"Weibull, go sign up for the next fight."
Without looking back, Rocks gave instructions to Weeble behind him.
"Ah?! Joining a gladiatorial contest? That's meaningless. I don't want to. They are all so weak."
Weevil grabbed a huge piece of animal leg meat and ate it in big mouthfuls, speaking with oily mouth.
"Hmm? Are you planning to disobey my orders?"
Rocks turned his head slightly and glanced at him.
Suddenly, Weibull felt his whole body trembling.
"Oh, oh! I see. I'll go now."
Having said that, Weibull quickly rushed to the registration office.
Many spectators were knocked away along the way, causing a lot of abuse.
However, Weibull completely turned a deaf ear to the insults.
Compared to those insults, Rocks' orders are more important.
Soon, with the help of the staff, Weibull successfully registered and then went to the backstage preparation area under the guidance of the staff.
As for why he let Weevil participate in the gladiatorial contest, Rocks just wanted to see what kind of power Cyrus could exert under Weevil's attack.
"Hey! Look! Isn't that Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Yes, that's Princess Scarlett. Why is she here at the bullfighting arena?!"
"Hurry, Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived, everyone go and greet her."
The audience around burst into huge cheers when they saw the arrival of Princess Scarlett.
They rushed towards Scarlett excitedly.
As the eldest princess of the Dressrosa Kingdom, she is deeply loved by the people.
Princess Scarlet smiled gently, waved to the people gathered around her, and slowly walked towards Rocks.
"Who is that man? Why would Her Royal Highness the Princess greet him?"
When people saw Scarlett bowing and greeting Rocks, they all became extremely curious.
"Hello, respected Captain of the Rocks Pirates, Mr. Rocks. Welcome to our Dressrosa Kingdom."
Rocks turned his head and glanced at Scarlett. He was not surprised at all by his appearance.
After all, Rocks had seen him when she just entered the bullfighting arena.
"If you want to know why I came to this country, please go back."
“I don’t have any feelings for this poor country.”
Before Scarlett could ask, Rocks answered the question she wanted to ask.
When Princess Scarlett heard Rocks' words, her eyes lit up and she felt excited for a moment.
However, she quickly suppressed her excitement.
"Thank you for your kindness. I thank you on behalf of all the people of the Kingdom of Dressrosa."
"Heh, just because I have no interest in this country, you come to thank me, a pirate? Is my reputation that bad?"
Rocks looked at Scarlett with amusement.
He didn't think he had done anything outrageous.
He neither massacred ordinary people nor conquered any country.
Most of his actions were against pirates.
"No, no no no, it's not, Captain Rocks."
"Your reputation isn't that terrible, it's just, it's just..."
Scarlett became a little flustered when she heard what Rocks said.
"Well, if there's nothing else, then leave. I'm not interested in bullying a little girl like you."
“emmmm... ... ”
Scarlett was a little overwhelmed by what Rocks said.
However, he soon regained his composure.
"Okay, Lord Rocks. However, to express my gratitude, I would like to invite you to attend the welcome party that our Dressrosa royal family will hold for you tonight. I hope you will be able to come."
Looking at Scarlett who was extremely cold, Rocks did not refuse.
"I see. I'll be there tonight."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Scarlett bowed slightly, then said goodbye and left the bullfighting arena.
Looking at Scarlett's leaving back, Rocks smiled.
"She is indeed a good girl. Very brave."
"Hahaha, Boss Rocks, are you interested in her? What do you think? Do you want to snatch her back?"
An on Rocks' waist suddenly turned into a little bat and flew to Rocks' shoulder, saying with a wicked smile.
"Ann, don't say anything that might cause misunderstanding. I'm not interested in Loli. Also, do you want to be beaten by Ruth?"
Rocks glanced at the little bat on his shoulder and said with a chuckle.
Unconsciously, as his strength grew stronger and he had more and more partners, Rocks's mentality also became better and better.
The most obvious thing is that he smiles more often now and no longer has a stern face like before.
Besides, he has learned to joke now.
"Oh! Big Sister Ruth!"
Hearing Ruth's name, little bat Ann obviously thought of something, and a hint of fear appeared in her cute eyes.
She wrapped herself tightly with her wings, climbed onto Rocks' neck, and looked at him pitifully.
"Boss Rocks, you will protect me, right?"
Looking at Ann who looked so pitiful and cute, Rocks wanted to laugh for some reason.
"Haha, don't worry, Ruth is still very considerate. Besides, you are so cute, An, she won't bully you."
Having said that, Rocks knew that when Ruth saw Ann, she would definitely ravage her.
After all, no matter how you look at it, An is a cute little bat who is very easy to bully.
"Hahaha, of course! An I'm the cutest in the world!"
Hearing Rocks' praise, Ann's little nose grew noticeably longer. She stood up straight with her feet facing the sky and spoke arrogantly.
“Hiss, hiss…”
The Teng Snake also transformed into an animal form, wrapped itself around Rocks' waist, and hissed at An.
Obviously, as An's little licker, he agreed with An's words very much.
As An and Tengshe were playing around, the second game began with the host's excited words.
A hundred people came out of the gate in a mighty procession and arrived at the huge arena.
Among the hundred people, Cyrus, who had an expressionless face and exuded a cold feeling, stood out.
Of course, in addition to Cyrus, Edward Weeble's tall and strong figure with a snotty nose also looked extremely conspicuous.
Of course, when he is not in combat mode, he looks so honest and easy to bully.
Although he was holding a huge knife in his hand.
"Dear audience friends! Next, it is the second match of the duel match that everyone has been looking forward to!"
"I declare, let's start now!"
"Winter!!!!!!" (To be continued)
