The latter understood immediately and announced: "The qualified players in the East division qualifiers."
"Gin!"
"Dellinger!"
There was another round of cheers at the scene, which lasted for nearly a minute. Then Jango announced that the game would be suspended for half an hour and someone would clean the arena.
There were various performances, but overall, it was not boring.
At the same time, the video Den Den Mushi-mushi above the Martial Arts Tournament also transmits the event images to other parts of the world for viewers who cannot come to the site to watch.
Dressrosa.
Doflamingo watched the performance on the projection screen, but in his mind, he was thinking about the scenes from Dellinger's previous fight with Gin.
"Gin and Kuro, these two are so powerful that they can be used even in the New World."
"That battle seemed to end in a draw, but if it continued, Dellinger would most likely lose more than win."
"Dellinger couldn't take down that Gin let alone Kuro, who was obviously much stronger."
Doflamingo said this with the corners of his mouth raised before letting out his signature laugh.
"Fufufu...!"
You know, if Dellinger was released alone, he could easily become a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million, but now he can't take down a single force in the East Blue?
He had never even thought about such a thing, let alone heard about it, and now it was happening right in front of him?
"First, they rose rapidly in the East Blue, killing their way to a bounty of over 100 million Belly, and now they are directly copying the model of the bullfighting arena and stealing food from my rice bowl."
"I'm really looking forward to when this guy will enter the Grand Line."
"The world is becoming more and more interesting."
"By then, perhaps even the structure of the seven warlords of the sea will be changed."
After saying that, Doflamingo's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly remembered that Hanafuda had just died in the East Blue not long ago.
In that location, all the trading networks he had set up were uprooted by Zephyr.
Even though he escaped immediately and didn't draw the Marines's attention to himself, how could he not be a little angry?
"The World Government has released information that a Marine, Captain Smoker, killed Hanafuda, but is it really that simple?"
"Although Hanafuda's strength is not that strong, he was one of the Tobiroppo of the Beast Pirate after all."
"But when he was competing with Jack for the position of the big boss, he was defeated miserably by Jack."
"How can an ordinary Marine possibly be a match for that guy?"
"Besides, neither the World Government nor the Marines like to tell the truth."
While thinking, a guess suddenly occurred to Doflamingo: "If this is confirmed, I don't even need to do anything; the White Knight Pirate will be destroyed directly."
"No matter how much potential their captain has, they are still too weak to face a monster like Kaido, who stands at the top of the world."
"Fufufu…!"
A deep and ferocious laugh was heard from the castle of Dressrosa. It lasted for dozens of seconds before slowly disappearing.
Doflamingo directly asked his subordinates to get the previous intelligence about Loguetown, and his sights finally fell on one thing.
"The ship that Hanafuda took to enter Loguetown was a warship…"
"Really!"
"The World Government and the Marines have teamed up to block the news of what happened in Loguetown, but some clues will eventually leak out!"
"This is the flaw!"
"The one who killed Hanafuda was not Smoker the Marines, but a pirate!"
"White Knight Gawain!"
Thinking of this, Doflamingo immediately changed his mind, grabbed the Den Den Mushi, and dialed a number.
After a few seconds, the call was connected, and Senor Pink's voice came through: "Young master?!"
Doflamingo spoke directly: "Stop any unnecessary movements over there, just focus on completing this game, and be careful to protect yourself."
"There will be someone who will attack White Knight Gawain, a man who is absolutely impossible to defeat."
… … …
Kuro changed into a more comfortable outfit and was constantly cleaning his newly made claws.
When he couldn't help but take action before, he did have the intention of maintaining the rules of the Martial Arts Tournament, but he was also worried that Gin would directly beat his opponent to death on the field.
He had already learned the information about Dellinger and Senor Pink from Gawain and even sent someone to investigate the two in secret.
After all, the other party is a subordinate of Doflamingo, one of the seven warlords of the sea. If something happens in East Blue, there will be trouble afterward.
For Kuro, the less trouble like this, the better.
But what Kuro was most concerned about now was the fighting power that Gin burst out at that moment.
It was a posture that had never been shown in their previous competitions.
At that moment, even Kuro felt a hint of danger.
After thinking about it for a moment, Kuro came back to his senses: "Except for Gawain and me, no one among us deserves such respect from Gin."
"Gawain said that he had no interest in bullying weaklings and instead focused his attention on guarding against attacks from the Marines and pirates."
"So Gin is coming for me?!"
"This kid has also learned bad things."
Kuro shook his head, saying bad things, but a smile slowly formed at the corner of his mouth, and then his eyes fell on the Cat Claws beside him.
The sharp blade reflected the cold light, adding a bit of fierce aura to it.
"But it's not like I'm unprepared!"
"Even if my opponent is you this time, even if your will is in that place, I will never give in!"
"I will defeat you with my strongest and most powerful attack. This is my greatest response to your will!"
Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!
After several sounds in succession, all the claw knives on Kuro's fingertips had been put away.
His entire aura suddenly became extremely cold, so much so that when he walked out of the room and came to lead the west zone contestants to the preparation area, everyone subconsciously kept a distance from him.
Some people even felt their legs go weak and their thighs tremble just by sensing his aura.
"Where did this strong man come from?"
"It is said that just now, a guy called Gin appeared in the East division qualifiers. He and Dellinger were fighting hard. Indistinctly, they have been called monsters."
"But this guy gives me the feeling that he is more dangerous!"
"No, it's definitely much more dangerous!"
As everyone spoke, their vigilance against Kuro had reached an extreme level.
Even the figures sitting in the corner felt a fierce, murderous aura coming towards them.
Everyone swallowed their saliva at the same time and clenched their weapons tightly. For a moment, they felt that the chances of winning were extremely slim.
Because of the presence of such a monster, the balance of the battle has already tilted towards him from the beginning.
Kuro's gaze swept across the crowd and directly looked at a figure in the shadows.
The man raised his head, opened his eyes, and looked at Kuro indifferently.
Their eyes met for a second and then separated.
Kuro found a seat nearby and sat down, closed his eyes, and fell into a doze.
Kuro's breath was restrained, and his entire aura calmed down at this moment, and the oppressive feeling in the field dissipated instantly.
Only the surprise in everyone's eyes told of everything that had just happened.
It was also at this time that the people around could see the appearance of the man in the shadow.
He had short hair that was almost touching his scalp, a square face, a serious expression, and a terrifying murderous aura all over his body.
He was the one who received Crocodile's order to come here to seize the Bone-Bone fruit.
Long before setting off, Daz Bonez had obtained information about the White Knight Pirate from Crocodile, and Kuro in front of him was naturally among them.
But hearing about someone is not as good as meeting him in person. He originally thought that a place like East Blue would not produce any strong people except for that freak White Knight Gawain.
Now, it seems that this is not the case!
Whether it is Gin in the East division qualifiers or Kuro standing in front of him at this moment, they are both rare, strong players.
The murderous aura even made his skin feel tingling.
"Should I say that you are worthy of being that man's deputy?"
Daz Bonez muttered to himself, his expression becoming extremely solemn: "With these guys here, my operation will be more difficult."
"But."
"Even if I have to use some unfair means, I must get that devil fruit!"
"After all, I'm just a killer, not someone chasing after the strongest swordsman!"
