One Piece: The Half-Blood Ninja Who Hides on the Straw Hat Ship

Chapter 521 Isn't this kid a little too ridiculously handsome?

Chapter 521 Isn't this kid a little too ridiculously handsome?

"Hey, who's that little guy?" A gladiator nearby looked at Luffy in shock and said, "He took down Sparta in one go?"

"Are you kidding me? He's one of the star swordsmen in this arena!"

"this.....

'

The person who heard the other party's words also became somewhat hesitant; this was indeed a problem.

"Could it be that he accidentally fell?" someone asked uncertainly.

After all, Luffy's attack was so fast that these ordinary fighters didn't even see what happened.

"How is that possible!" another person retorted. "Even though I didn't see what happened clearly, a fall couldn't possibly create such a large crater in the ground!"

"And Sparta even lost consciousness..."

""

Listening to this man's words, the others gradually understood one thing: Sparta might really have been defeated by this seemingly small old man!

Who exactly is this person?

"The attack was swift and decisive, giving no chance to react at all."

Hidden in the shadows, Lao Cai watched Luffy's retreating figure with great interest and said, "Interesting."

Are these the last contestants to participate?

Hopefully they can meet at the competition; that would be even more interesting.

Thinking of this, Lao Cai grinned.

"Seriously, what are you doing here for no reason?"

Luffy looked at Sparta with some dissatisfaction. Why did this guy suddenly attack them?

"Maybe he has something wrong with his brain," west Yan shrugged.

After speaking, west Yan turned his head and glanced at a man running over from a distance. If he wasn't mistaken, this guy was a staff member of the bullfighting arena.

Is this... a check-up?

"Hello!"

"Are you two the ones who started this commotion?" The man glared at Luffy and Xiyan, roaring, "Get out of here immediately! Leave the scene right now!"

"What?!"

Luffy's expression immediately changed. If he withdrew from the competition like this, how would he possibly win the Diamond Fruit?

"Didn't you read the rules?" the man shouted. "Fighting is not allowed before the match!"

"Sir, this guy started it," west Yan said, pointing to the unconscious Sparta on the ground.

The staff member glanced instinctively down at the unconscious Sparta, then frowned and looked around, asking, "Who can prove it?"

If someone can prove that the Spartan attacked first, he might let the two go.

Upon hearing this, those around him immediately revealed mocking smiles.

prove?

Eliminating a strong opponent early would be a good thing for them.

Seeing that no one stepped forward to speak, the man said, "Since no one can vouch for you, then you'll have to back out..."

'

"Whoosh~"

"Clang!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a huge axe that suddenly flew over.

"Shut up, you blind idiot!" Old Cai pointed to the unconscious Spartan lying not far away and said, "The one who started this trouble was that big guy lying on the ground. If anyone's leaving, it's him!"

"That's right," Bu Ye grinned. "I agree with what you said, brother."

Upon seeing the figure emerge from the shadows, the people in the distance immediately showed expressions of horror.

"Look, it's Cai Hebu from the Flower Kingdom!"

"Not only that, even the leader, Green Pepper, has come!"

Hearing these people's words, the staff member subconsciously swallowed. So these were the monsters?

Since they've already spoken up, then I should... mind my own business.

After all, he's just earning a salary, why risk his life?

Thinking about this, he began to consider quitting.

Just then, one of the gladiators spoke up.

"These two are right," the gladiator said. "It was indeed Sparta who struck first."

The staff member breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then said, "In that case... the Spartan will be leaving!"

"Lucy and Marriott, you can continue to participate in the competition."

"OK."

Upon learning that he would not withdraw from the competition, a bright smile immediately appeared on Luffy's face.

It's so great to be able to continue participating in the competition!

Then, he picked up the huge axe from the ground, turned around and walked to Lao Cai and Bu's side, returning the weapon to Bu.

"Here you go, thank you for earlier."

"It's alright, no need to thank me..." Old Cai grinned and said, "Really, there's no need to thank me, why are you saying thank you?"

"Don't thank me, you..."

'

At this point, Lao Cai immediately lost his temper.

"Take back your 'thank you'! You bastard!" Old Cai roared angrily. "Take it back!"

Seeing this, Bu quickly pulled Lao Cai back, shouting, "There's no need to escalate this much, brother!"

"But this bastard said thank you to me!"

"Take back those two words, you bastard!"

Luffy:

west Yan:

So what's up with this guy?

It was just a thank you, why are you so upset?

"Sorry, you two," Bu said somewhat awkwardly, "this guy got a little emotional."

"Oh, it's nothing."

Although he didn't know what was going on with the other party, Luffy chose not to argue with them.

"This competition is really interesting," Luffy said with a smile as he walked back to Xiyan's side. "There are all sorts of people here."

west Yan simply smiled at this, not particularly surprised.

After all, the prize this time is a Diamond Fruit, so it's normal that it can attract people from all over the seas.

"Hey, West..."

"

"bump!"

west Yan punched Luffy on the head, then turned and pointed to the name on his back, saying:

'

Look carefully before you speak.

Luffy, who had just been punched, clutched the large bump on his head and said, "Couldn't you have just told me directly?"

""

She actually hit him with her domineering aura...that really hurt!

west Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Did you even give me a chance to speak?"

If he hadn't done it himself, this guy would have just said his name outright.

What an idiot.

Luffy expressed his dissatisfaction but dared not say anything more, as west Yan raised his fist again.

"When do we start the match?" Luffy rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry."

Upon hearing this, west Yan gave a speechless look and said, "Didn't you just eat?"

"That's only a small amount," Luffy complained.

Because of that strange fairy, they didn't get to eat much food at all.

"That's true."

west Yan stroked his chin and said, "Then let's see if there's a place to eat around here later."

Normally, a place like this should have a place to buy food.

"All right."

Luffy nodded, then turned to look at Vasco da Gama, who was still shouting about competition zones and uniting.

"What is he talking about?"

"Let's form groups in advance."

"Can the two of us team up?!" Luffy asked excitedly.

If the two of them were in the same competition zone, they could team up and defeat everyone else.

Thinking about this made Luffy even more excited.

"Don't think about it," west Yan said. "You're from Zone C, and I'm from Zone D."

"Moreover..."

'

At this point, west Yan paused slightly, then turned to look at Da Gama in the distance and continued, "There can only be one winner in a region, so it's actually a good thing that we weren't grouped together."

At least that way they have a better chance of winning the championship.

Of course, you don't necessarily have to win the championship to get the Diamond Fruit.

Once he confirms the location of the Diamond Fruit, he can directly seize it after Franky starts destroying the factory.

"I see."

Luffy scratched his head and said, "Alright then."

Although it's a bit of a pity that they weren't assigned to the same group as west Yan, it's definitely more advantageous for them this way.

Luffy then turned and looked around, saying, "I see they all have armor and weapons, could we get some too?"

"It should be okay," west Yan said somewhat uncertainly.

Normally, this place should provide weapons or sell equipment for free.

Of course, it's also possible that the arena requires participants to bring their own weapons.

"Equipment is provided."

A young woman who was taking notes said, "I'll take you there."

After saying that, the other person turned and walked towards the corridor in the distance.

Seeing this, west Yan exchanged a glance with Luffy, and then followed him to a place that looked like an armory.

Luffy's eyes lit up at the sight of the dazzling array of equipment.

"Armor!"

"helmet!"

"arms!"

"Are all of these usable?!"

"Only throwing weapons are prohibited; there are no restrictions on other equipment," the woman said. "Use whatever you want."

"I see!" Luffy grinned. "You guys are so nice."

Upon hearing Luffy's words, the girl immediately laughed.

What does it mean to say that they are really nice people?

Isn't providing weapons and equipment the most basic thing?

"Hey!" Luffy excitedly ran to the statue of Kyros and said, "This old man looks really good!"

"I want this!"

Girl:

What a strange request!

"This won't do," the woman said expressionlessly.

"No, that won't work..."

'

Luffy said with a disappointed look, "Never mind then."

He had originally planned to take the handsome statue with him.

"What strange request are you making now?" west Yan said speechlessly, "They're providing weapons and equipment, not statues."

Sometimes he really wanted to crack open Luffy's head to see how this guy's brain was structured.

Then, west Yan turned his attention to the commotion behind him.

"What's wrong now?"

"Hey, why are the girls collapsing one after another?!" The other men looked in surprise down the hallway and asked, "What happened?"

"Look! There's a man in the hallway!"

"man?"

"Could it be that these women fainted because of him?"

"Are you kidding me? How could that be?"

"But that's the truth..."

'

Although I don't know why these women would faint because of a man, that's just how it is.

Just then, a man recognized the newcomer's identity.

"It's Cavendish!" the man exclaimed, his eyes wide. "It's that pirate prince!"

"It really is him! How is he still alive?"

"Maybe they escaped..."

'

"This man is so beautiful!"

west Yan: ? ? ?

After glancing at the rough man with hearts in his eyes, west Yan subconsciously moved a few steps to the side.

Isn't this right, buddy?

After shaking his head, west Yan turned his gaze to Cavendish's face, stroking his chin and saying, "This kid is indeed quite handsome."

Even he had to admit that the other person was ridiculously handsome.

Of course, he's not bad either.

"This is the preparation room."

Cavendish glanced at the equipment, but didn't find it particularly interesting. After all, for an elegant swordsman like him, any armor or similar items would detract from his beauty and would be an unnecessary burden, so it was better not to use them.

Cavendish then noticed Luffy, the only man present who wasn't paying attention to him.

"Hey, you over there."

"Um?

'

Luffy, who was putting on his armor, turned to Cavendish in confusion upon hearing this and asked, "Are you talking about me?"

"Um."

Cavendish wasn't angry. Instead, he smiled gently and said, "You're wearing too much gear; it's already overweight."

"overweight?"

A look of confusion appeared on Luffy's face. Are there any requirements for this?

"There are weight restrictions on protective gear," Cavendish explained patiently. "Otherwise, it would be against the rules."

"I see..." Luffy looked disappointed and said, "I thought they could all be used."

It seems I can't wear this cool suit of armor anymore, what a pity...

Xi Yan looked helpless. Had this kid even listened carefully to the rules the girl in charge of registration had explained?

That's true. Given this kid's personality, it would be strange if he listened to people attentively.

"Actually, it doesn't matter what kind of armor you wear," Cavendish said. "Because the Diamond Fruit will definitely be mine."

"Because...only I am worthy of possessing such magnificent abilities~"

Cavendish's smile widened at the thought of becoming even more dazzling.

Cavendish then looked at Luffy and continued, "Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself."

My name is Cavendish.

"But with my reputation, I shouldn't need to introduce myself."

"After all... there can't possibly be anyone in this world who doesn't know me~"

Hahaha~

Cavendish is very confident in his reputation.

"So beautiful!"

"Lord Cavendish!"

"I never expected to see Lord Cavendish here. It was worth it..."

'

Seeing Cavendish seemingly radiating light, the surrounding women immediately collapsed to the ground in excitement.

Upon seeing this, Cavendish laughed even harder.

That's right, that's the reaction!

On this vast sea, he is the epitome of beauty!

"Beautiful sins are so heavy," Cavendish said, taking out a rose. "It's just like this rose—perfect in itself."

"That's right, this is me~"

"From birth until now, I have been excessively blessed by God~"

"That's right~"

"I didn't eat a Devil Fruit, and I didn't work very hard, yet I've gotten to where I am today... I'm simply the chosen one!"

"Hahaha~"

Cavendish was very happy talking to himself, but unfortunately... Luffy and Xiyan ignored him and didn't even glance at him again.

Cavendish: ? ? ?

Weren't these two people... blinded by his brilliance?
