One Piece: The Evil Generation

Chapter 74 Retirement

In just over ten seconds, Daker, who didn't even have time to scream, was completely stunned, his body was covered with wounds, and finally fell to the field with a bang, seriously injured and unconscious.

More than two-thirds of the audience who bet on Daker were all stunned. They had seen Daker fail. In the past eight years, Daker had failed, not only a few times, but the losses were decent.But it has never been like this before!

"Ro...Roz...advance to the final!" The referee announced the result with a trill.

"Haha! I'll just say it! How could that guy lose!" Apu clapped his hands.

Sanji and X, who sat on both sides of him, didn't express any opinions, but they also became short of breath.

Soon, the name Ross swept across the entire Marlene Yate!

……

Crowe is urging manpower to perfect the battleship, mobilize supplies, and arrange for newly recruited pirates.

Crowe hasn't rested in the past few days, so his eye sockets are now bloodshot. If it weren't for the trust of A Jin and Taiton, who would help him take care of him, he would definitely be exhausted and paralyzed.

"Have you reached 200 people? So fast, it's almost enough, stop recruiting." Crowe flipped through the list Ajin handed him, and made a decision after flipping through it.

Two warships and more than 200 pirates are enough.

"Crow! Captain, he won. He defeated Daker, who is said to be the strongest man in the arena in eight years!" Taiton rushed to the office, shouted at Crowe, and threw the newspaper in his hand at the same time. on the table.

Crowe and Ah Jin looked through it together.

"It's unbelievable. I investigated Daker, and his strength must not be underestimated. I didn't expect to win it so soon." Crowe was also extremely shocked. Although he was very confident in Ross's strength, But Daker, who has been on the great route eight years ago, is also enough to be called one of the strongest people in Malinate.

"As expected of him." A Jin remembered Ross's disdainful attitude towards Creek, the strongest man in the East China Sea, and he admired Ross even more.

……

The medicine given by the doctor was indeed good, and Sanji's foot recovered more than half of it in just one day.

Sanji is exercising with X in the hotel at the moment.

"Captain... Tomorrow it will be you and Appu dueling..." Sanji said while doing sit-ups.

Ross lay on the chair by the window, held up his glass and said, "Yes, I don't know where Apu went again."

"What are you going to do? Defeat Apu to win the fruit? Devil fruits are very rare, and each one is worth hundreds of millions. Once eaten, the strength will definitely increase a lot." X said.

Ross heard what he meant, it just means that the devil fruit is very important, are you sure you want to give it up?
"I plan to practice physical skills. I don't really want to eat devil fruits." Ross has never stopped thinking about devil fruits since time travel. What is this kind of power that can touch the rules of the world? It appeared, why was it cursed by the sea again, which one is better than the pros and cons of eating the devil fruit?But so far, he has no clue.The only thought is, try not to eat devil fruit.The strong men of the older generation, such as Garp, Roger, Rayleigh, and Red Hair, did not eat the fruit.Why didn't they eat the fruit?Ross vaguely felt that there might be some secret in it.

"Physical arts? Now that you think so, I won't say anything more." Seeing that Ross was indeed not interested in Devil Fruits, X said nothing more.

The day passed quickly again.

The fifth day, which is the last day of the competition, came with the dawn light.

There are not many spectators on this day, because the winner can basically be guessed.Even if Daker can defeat it, then Apu is not very difficult.Those who went bet all their money on Ross, and those who didn't went yelled out their inferences at the street corners. The reporters had already written the manuscript, and they just waited for the competition to end and it would be printed and sold.

In the most popular finals in the past, the number of people who came now has dropped by one-third.

The Garno family suffered a huge loss in this competition. They didn't make much money, and a few powerful subordinates died. If this continues, they will be removed from the three major powers.

There is no need to draw lots for the finals. When the time is up, two contestants enter the arena.

Apu looked a bit haggard, lacking energy, and didn't say hello when he saw Ross, and he was a different person from yesterday.

"The game begins!" the referee ordered.

The two of them didn't make a move.

"What's wrong?" Ross didn't understand how long Apu hadn't seen, what happened to him.

Apu looked up and said with a sigh of relief: "I know, you have been using me from the beginning to the end, and you have successfully advanced to the final. Now you are one step away from the devil fruit. I don't believe you will give me the devil fruit. In short ……you win."

Ross came to Apu with a shave, and pressed Apu's head with one hand: "Boy, are you stupid? Have you forgotten what I said to you that day? A man's promise will never be broken!"

After speaking, Ross pushed Apu down with a forceful hand, and then walked out of the field.

"Hey! Once you leave the field during the game time, you will be considered as a loser!" Seeing that Ross was about to leave, the referee quickly reminded.

Ross didn't look back, but beckoned: "I, retire."

These three words instantly shocked the drowsy audience and woke them up.

What did he say?
To retire?
What are you kidding? !

"What did you say?" The referee couldn't believe it. After finally fighting a bloody road, he was only one step away from success, and now he actually left!
Rhodes did not answer the referee again, but proved with his actions that what he said was not a joke.He lifted his legs and strode away from the field.

"You guy..." Sitting on the field, Apu immediately felt mixed feelings when he saw Ross.

"Ah...Apu wins!" The referee almost trembled every time he announced the result of a match involving Ross.

Once again, the entire arena, the entire Marlene Art was exploded!How many years has the arena been open?It has been at least 20 years since the Garno family took over. Over the past 20 years, there have been hundreds of competitions, all kinds of situations have happened, but I have never seen it. It is obvious that the champion is in front of me, but I just turned around and left!

Those who bet on Ross to win lost everything, and those who said that Ross would win without watching were slapped in the face.

When Apu got the devil fruit that belonged to the championship prize, a devil fruit with spiral patterns that looked like an apple.

Obviously, this is a superhuman fruit, which is completely consistent with Ross's speculation, so it is probably the fruit owned by Apu in the original book.

"Eat it," Ross said.

Holding the Devil Fruit, Apu hesitated for a moment, tears welled up in his eyes, and at the same time opened his mouth and bit the Devil Fruit: "You...you...you...so...so...so...so... I was moved..."

Ross pursed his lips and didn't smile. Sure enough, Apu, who was crying bitterly one second, turned blue the next moment, pinching his neck with both hands and vomiting: "Why is it so unpalatable! It's like shit!"

"Haha! You don't need to eat it all, just one bite is enough." Seeing that Apu had finished eating, Ross took the Devil Fruit over and looked at it carefully.

But you can't smell the taste, and you can only see the spiral pattern on the peel and flesh.After thinking about it for a long time, Ross didn't see anything, and finally threw it away: "Quickly test your ability."

"How to try?" Apu was stunned, and finally something came into his mind. He naturally removed his left arm, reinstalled it, and turned into a flute. A row of holes appeared on the arm. He began to play with his own body.

The nice flute sounded, and Ross seemed to have returned to the previous world: "I really miss it..."

"boom!"

A wooden pile not far away was split in two.

"Sonic fruit? It's perfect for you." Ross couldn't help being happy for Apu to find such a suitable fruit.

"Ah... thank you so much...Captain!"
