Three days later, the martial arts practice arrived as promised.
In a certain arena of the navy headquarters, there was a huge arena that was hundreds of square meters in size.
Sakasugi and the other 100 players gathered at the arena early in the morning, waiting for Zefa's arrival.
They didn't have to wait too long. A moment later, Zefa led a group of soldiers into the arena.
Looking at the students who had all arrived, Zefa nodded silently.
"Very good! Since you're all here, I won't waste any more time. Now, I officially announce the start of the Great Martial Arts Competition!”
With Zefa's order, the originally quiet team suddenly became restless, and whispers began to ring out.
Seeing this, Zefa smiled faintly and didn't say anything. He went to find a seat at the side and sat down.
As for the martial arts practice, Ze Fafa handed it over to the personal guards he brought with him to handle and let them organize and maintain the martial arts practice.
"Sigh! I wonder who my opponent will be? Hopefully, it wouldn't be an opponent that was too powerful!”
"Actually, it doesn't matter if I'm a little powerful. As long as I don't encounter those monsters that ate the Demon Fruit, I'll be thankful!”
"That's right! He hoped that he would not meet them. Otherwise, he might be eliminated in the first round! That would be too tragic!"
"That's right! That's right! I thought so too. If I were to encounter other people, I would still think that I had a chance of winning. However, if I were to encounter those monsters that had eaten the Demon Fruit, then I would just admit defeat!”
"Haha! He directly admitted defeat! You're too cowardly! He should have at least exchanged a few rounds before admitting defeat!”
"How many rounds? Stop joking! How many of us do you think can take one move from those monsters?”
"Ugh! It seemed so! Especially Sakasugi and Porusalino. If it was anyone else, we might be able to last one or two moves, but if it was them…I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to last half a move!”
……………………………….....................
They were discussing in low voices. Because the opponents were decided by drawing lots, these "contestants" did not know who their opponents would be, so it was inevitable that they would mutter uneasily.
Everyone wanted to get good results and a high ranking. After all, this would determine their future to a certain extent. It was just that the random nature of the draw was really a pain in the ass.
They didn't care if these people were having a headache or not. Under the organization of Zefa's personal guards, the group of people began to draw lots and choose their opponents.
Sakasugi stood in the crowd and waited for the draw. Unlike the other soldiers who had nervous expressions on their faces, Sakasugi was very calm.
Of course, he had a reason to be calm. After all, he was a powerful natural-type demon fruit ability user. At the same time, he was also a seeded participant in this martial arts competition. If he was not the first, he was the first.
It didn't take long for Sakasugi to draw his number.
Number 2!
Sakasugi raised his eyebrows and looked at the number in his hand. He grinned. Was this an ominous sign?
"Number 2's opponent is number 1. I wonder who my first opponent will be? Please don't let it be Porusalino! If it was him, then this match would be interesting!”Sakasugi muttered softly and smiled mysteriously.
Number one and number two were the first to go on stage. Now, number two was Sakasugi. If number one was Porusalino, then the first round would be the grand finale!
Fortunately, this was just a guess. The heavens weren't that ridiculous.
Sakasugi's first opponent wasn't Porusalino, nor was it the other three demon fruit aptitude users. His opponent was just an ordinary person.
When he heard that his opponent was Sakasugi, the unlucky soldier almost cried.
You can't play like this! Why was his first opponent that monster? This was too unreasonable!
Her eyes were filled with tears, as if her heart was broken.
The unlucky soldier and Sakasugi walked up to the arena, ready to begin the first match of the martial arts practice.
"Are you ready?" On the stage, one of Zefa's bodyguards who was acting as the referee said.
"I'm ready!" Sakasugi said calmly.
"Ready…ready!" The unlucky soldier said with a pained expression.
"Alright then! Since you are all ready, I declare the start of the competition!”With a wave of his hand, he announced the start of the competition. Just as Zefa's bodyguard was about to quickly leave the arena, a voice suddenly stopped him.
"Wait a minute! I admit defeat!"
The unlucky soldier raised his hand and said. His face was flushed red, clearly feeling extremely embarrassed. Shame.
"Admit defeat! Are you sure?"
Hearing the unlucky soldier's words, Zefa's bodyguard was a little surprised at first, but then he suddenly realized what was going on.
Thinking about it, the opponent was a Devil Fruit user with the Nature Element. It seemed like admitting defeat was not a bad idea.
It wasn't just Zefa's bodyguards who thought this way. In fact, the other soldiers below the arena also thought the same. They all understood the unlucky soldier's choice very well.
"As expected! Jack still chose to admit defeat! But it's a pity!"
"Who asked him to be so unlucky? So what if he doesn't admit defeat? Could he defeat that monster Sakasugi by not admitting defeat? It was impossible! Therefore, rather than admitting defeat after being defeated, it was better to admit defeat now.”
"That's right! I thought so as well. After all, Sakasugi was truly too terrifying. His lava fruit ability was too dangerous. Anyone who touched it would either die or be injured. If it wasn't necessary, it was best not to take it head-on.”
"Yes, yes! Just like that…"
A series of discussions sounded in his ears. After hearing these discussions, the unlucky soldier's face turned even redder.
Although these voices seemed to be supporting his choice, to the unlucky soldier at this moment, these voices were undoubtedly more like mockery, mocking him for surrendering without fighting.
However, no matter how unwilling or humiliated he was, in the face of Sakasugi's undefeatable opponent, the unlucky soldier could only insist on his previous choice.
"I'm sure! I admit defeat! I admit defeat!"
Mother! In the future, I don't want to fight against anyone with the Devil's Fruit ability! This is too much!
