Chapter 939: Who the Hell Did I Bet On?
"???"
Once again, an inexplicable silence fell over the Flame Emperor Sect's plaza.
"Thank goodness I was slow with my clicks! Didn't have time to place my bets!"
"Oh my god, I just spent money, didn't have a chance to bet, and somehow escaped a catastrophe!"
"Ah, so satisfying! Watching those toxic dogs suffer like this is really satisfying!"
...
A handful of players savored their Deep Sea King Skewers, not even bothering to watch the live stream, and instead enjoying the spectacle of other players.
Blocking the players!
"Why is this happening?"
"It's impossible! Why?"
"Ah ah ah, Obito, that trash! How the heck did he die?"
"Where's the Heavenly Platform? Someone tell me, waiting online, urgent!"
"It's over, it's absolutely over!"
"Ah ah ah, I'm left without my pants! Damn it, Obito!"
...
Players lamented, many having lost everything and resorting to using their hotpot tablecloths as makeshift cover.
"Why is this happening?"
"Why the heck is this happening?"
"Who am I? Why did I bet on a fourth beta newbie?"
...
The elders of the Nine Great Holy Lands, along with their top experts and leaders, were all plunged into existential doubt.
In the previous wave, they went all-in on Obito, only to see him getting wiped out in an instant!
Especially the urgently transported gambling funds from the Nine Great Holy Lands, they vanished before even warming up!
Vanished!
Gone!
So, what to do now?
Players and the Nine Great Holy Lands' members were deeply skeptical about the meaning of existence.
"Boom boom boom!"
In the final arena, NotSoDirty Start, who had lost half of his initial strength, and Wang Luffy continued their straightforward approach, a head-on collision without any fancy moves. Surprisingly, they fought to a draw!
"Boom!" The final clash of fists pushed both combatants backward!
"Big Brother NotSoDirty, you've become so strong!" Wang Luffy couldn't help but marvel.
"Hahaha, it's only natural! But, Luffy, you're truly impressive!!! You're the goal I've been chasing!" NotSoDirty Start, who had lost half of his initial strength, said excitedly.
It wasn't easy!
Even though he had almost been killed by Bear Brother just now, he didn't know why, but Bear Brother suddenly disappeared!
It turned out through voice communication that Bear Brother had been eliminated.
This made NotSoDirty Start, who had lost half of his initial strength, feel relieved.
Because he wasn't afraid of a strong opponent like Bai Zhe, the Indomitable Bear Strong!
What he feared was someone like Bear Brother, someone who could turn the tables by exploiting the tiniest of weaknesses, making a comeback from the brink of death!
After all...
His own weaknesses were simply too numerous!
Truth be told!
NotSoDirty Start, who had lost half of his initial strength, was the only demonic beast player from the third beta who didn't possess Observation Haki and Armament Haki!
This single fact said it all!
So, the Indomitable Bear Strong was NotSoDirty Start, who had lost half of his initial strength's natural nemesis, from the beginning to the end!
Fortunately...
Bear Brother was unexpectedly eliminated!
Now, in the ultimate final arena, only he and Luffy were left!
As long as he defeated Luffy!
He, NotSoDirty Start, who had lost half of his initial strength, would undoubtedly be the strongest in the Flame Emperor Sect!
"My journey of spending money has finally reached its destination, blooming and bearing fruit~~~?" NotSoDirty Start, who had lost half of his initial strength, was ecstatic.
"Luffy, I've prepared many hidden cards to deal with you!" NotSoDirty Start, who had lost half of his initial strength, grinned and said confidently.
"Is that so? I have plenty of new techniques too!" Wang Luffy chuckled.
"NotSoDirty, as long as I defeat you, I will be the undisputed strongest in the Flame Emperor Sect!"
"NotSoDirty Big Brother, even though you're amazing, I won't give up the title of the strongest!"
"In this battle, you're bound to lose, Luffy!"
"No, I will definitely win!"
"Hahaha, with the multitude of hidden cards I have, you'll be amazed!"
"My newly created power will also astonish you, NotSoDirty Big Brother!"
...
NotSoDirty Start, who had lost half of his initial strength, and Wang Luffy faced each other, full of unwavering confidence.
However...
"Who the hell did I bet on?"
At the Flame Emperor Sect's plaza, all the players and members of the Nine Great Holy Lands were tormented by this question.
"Elder Wang Luffy is undoubtedly invincible in terms of strength! But..."
"Seventy demonic marks, just two short of becoming the legendary Demon Lord! It's said that the strength of a Demon Lord is heaven-defying, comparable to the Deities of our Human Race! They reign over large territories in the Demon Realm! Although I've only heard about it..."
"Having thoroughly understood the information from the Flame Emperor Sect's players, I have to say that NotSoDirty Start, who had lost half of his initial strength, is their father! But Luffy is their grandfather! Well, grandfathers are stronger than fathers, so it's reasonable!"
...
The Nine Great Holy Lands' members exhausted all means to analyze and compile information.
Soon, they drained their last resources and were left with debts averaging over a hundred thousand spirit stones each!
Even so, they were still not satisfied! They were ready to go all in one last time!
So, all the members of the Nine Great Holy Lands raised their hands and slowly moved to place their bets on the grid containing Wang Luffy's name.
"Don't ask why, just bet on Elder Wang Luffy's invincibility!"
"Exactly! I'll keep going all in!"
"Hehe, I still have my last secret stash... Just wait till I dig it out from my pockets..."
...
Among the players too, they pulled out their last secret funds from various undisclosed sources and, as a collective, shifted their bets toward NotSoDirty Start, who had lost half of his initial strength.
But just in the last second before placing their bets...
"All in on NotSoDirty, my daddy!!!"
All players and the Nine Great Holy Lands' members suddenly changed direction and placed all their bets on NotSoDirty Start, who had lost half of his initial strength!
"Hahaha! The puppeteer behind the scenes couldn't have predicted that we'd reverse the situation in the last second!"
"That's right, this round is secured!"
"Appearances may suggest that Elder Wang Luffy is invincible, but the ultimate winner will undoubtedly be NotSoDirty, my daddy!"
...
Players and the Nine Great Holy Lands' members nodded in satisfaction.
Meanwhile...
"All in... on Wang Luffy!" Noodle Boss spoke boldly, placing a bet of one billion contribution points on Wang Luffy.
"Since ancient times, my Brother Wang Luffy could never possibly lose, right?" Noodle Boss said confidently.
"Grand Martial Brother Lone City! Remember to follow my lead!" Noodle Boss turned around and whispered confidentially.
"..." He Yi Ming was speechless.
This Noodle Boss was truly a mischievous child!
It wasn't just about orchestrating the game, it was blatantly harvesting the crops!
Too brutal!
Unbelievably mischievous!
Then, He Yi Ming casually joined in...
Wang Luffy!
Since ancient times, Wang Luffy had been He Yi Ming's most trusted disciple. Placing a bet in support of him was perfectly reasonable, wasn't it?
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, both Wang Luffy and NotSoDirty Start, who had lost half of his initial strength, made their move simultaneously!
"Ring of Thunder!!!" NotSoDirty Start, who had lost half of his initial strength, raised his hand and immediately activated the Divine Artifact, the Ring of Thunder, borrowed from the Divine King Enel!
Although the Ring of Thunder was the exclusive Divine Artifact of Divine King Enel, as long as it was authorized by Divine King Enel, NotSoDirty Start, who had lost half of his initial strength, could freely use it. Of course, its power wasn't as strong as when Divine King Enel wielded it!
"Boom boom boom!"
In the span of a breath, all the thunderous power stored by Divine King Enel in the Ring of Thunder erupted at once, converging into a thunder avatar ten thousand meters tall—the Thunder Zanahary!
"One of my hidden cards! Thunder Zanahary!!!" NotSoDirty Start, who had lost half of his initial strength, declared with dominance.
"Good timing!" Wang Luffy placed one hand on the ground and moved at the same time!
"Skyfire Flow, Multiple Shadow Clones!!!"
"Boom boom boom!"
In an instant, a hundred Wang Luffy clones emerged!
These were Wang Luffy's shadow clones formed by condensing the power of the Skyfire Heart Flame!
This scene completely shocked the entire audience!
However, He Yi Ming tilted his head.
