I said I would go to Naruto, why did I end up in One Piece?

"What else? You eat everything?!" Liu Weiguo was so angry when he saw Liu Jie's confused look that he pulled out his belt and prepared to attack. "That's Xiaohao's main quest reward. You're using it to identify the types of fruit!"

"Wait, isn't that a birthday present prepared for me?" Liu Jie shouted in confusion.

"Birthday?" Liu Weiguo was stunned.

"Yeah, it was my birthday yesterday. I rushed back specially for my birthday, but you were not there, so I went to your study to find you. When I saw the devil fruit, I thought it was a birthday present you prepared for me." Liu Jie hurriedly explained, "You too, why don't you put your work stuff in the space?"

"My space is full..." Liu Weiguo said awkwardly, "Why don't you ask what you are doing?"

"Uh..." Liu Jie looked embarrassed.

"What kind of devil fruit is that?" Wang Hao said to Liu Jie.

"Hehe, animal type, cat-cat fruit, blue cat form." Liu Jie heard this and grinned awkwardly, "Sorry, Xiao Hao."

"It's okay, just consider it as your birthday present." Wang Hao asked, "Do you like it?"

"I love it. I think I was born for this magic fruit." Liu Jie immediately became excited. "I've decided. From now on, my name will be Mengqi D. Blue Cat."

"With your size, Blue Cat is also a big fat cat." Wang Hao looked at Liu Jie with a puzzled look and said with a smile.

"Fat cat? No, that sounds ugly." Liu Jie thought for a moment, shook his head and grinned, "Just call me Mengqi D. Blue Cat!"

"Come on, I'll treat Brother Mao to hamburgers and iced drinks, plenty of them." Wang Hao didn't hesitate, he put his arm around Liu Jie's shoulders and said happily.

"That's great." Liu Jie laughed.

"Grandpa Liu, Uncle, you guys chat, let's go out and get together." Wang Hao greeted the two elders.

"Okay, you go ahead." Wang Yaojie said directly without waiting for Liu Weiguo to speak.

"This kid, didn't he just take Garp as his master? He even changed his name. What a jerk."

A group of people walked outside and could still hear Liu Weiguo's complaints.

"Brother Jie..." Long Aotian was about to speak when he was interrupted.

"Call me Blue Cat, Mengqi D. Blue Cat." Liu Jie shouted, "I am a man who aspires to become a naval hero."

"This is a great dream. Thumbs up." Wang Hao said with a smile.

"Right, if a person has no dreams, what's the difference between him and a salted fish?" Liu Jie laughed.

"We are all pirates..."

Everyone was chatting and got on the car, and Long Aotian's complaining voice echoed in the air.

In the restaurant, everyone was feasting.

"The preliminaries will start at four o'clock in the afternoon. Eat more. There will be no food once we enter the Death Forest." Long Aoxue saw that Long Xuejiao only ate five hamburgers and stopped, and said with a hamburger in his mouth.

"Ah? Game in the afternoon? Why didn't anyone notify me?" Wang Hao was confused when he heard that.

"You don't have to go." Long Aotian rolled his eyes.

"It's the Death Forest again. It's the same every year. There's nothing new about it." Liu Jie complained after taking a sip of Coke.

"What's going on? Did they miss me?" Wang Hao asked.

"You've been admitted without recommendation." Long Xuejiao said, and then explained the rules of the competition to Wang Hao.

In previous years, each of the 12 regions sent out ten of the strongest top students, plus the 140 top students from the Imperial City, a total of 140 people, who would be brought to the Imperial City for the National College Competition. The first stage was a seven-day, brutal elimination tournament in which 16 students would be selected to enter the next .

140 top students will be dropped into a wild forest called the Death Forest. They will start from the starting point and must reach the end point within seven days.

At the starting point, each person will receive an identity token and a map. On the map is a check-in machine with 30 check-in points randomly marked. You must check in in order, check in 30 times, and arrive at the finish line with at least three other people's identity tokens in addition to your own. Only the top 16 will be qualified to enter the next round of competition. The whole process lasts seven days.

If the identity token is away from the holder for more than 30 meters and for more than five minutes, it will automatically become invalid, which means the holder is eliminated.

At the same time, the identity token also has a monitoring function. During the competition, anyone who opens his or her own space for any reason will be deemed to have forfeited and been eliminated.

Some ferocious beasts or amphibious sea beasts will be released into the Death Forest to increase the difficulty, and the worst thing is that the first check-in point is no more than 100 meters away from the finish line.

"Who was so smart to come up with this game?" Wang Hao complained after hearing the rules of the elimination match, "What if someone joins forces?"

"Whatever you want. The ability to form cliques and factions is also a part of your overall strength. It's OK if you can perfectly control the number of people who pass the line." Long Aotian said, "However, each person must carry at least three identity cards, and only 16 people can pass the line. There are 140 people. Once the game starts, only a few can form a team based on their strength."

"The most important thing is that there is only one card slot in a time clock machine. It takes five minutes for a card to be successfully clocked in. There are thirty check-in points, and each person spends two and a half hours just to clock in. This does not include the time spent on traveling, fighting beasts, and fighting other contestants. In fact, even if all the seven days are used to clock in, it is not enough for half of the people to clock in." Long Aoxue said while eating, "When time is tight, each check-in point is a battlefield. Without sufficient force, there is no guarantee that you will be able to clock in successfully."

"Then what does it mean that I was admitted without recommendation?" Wang Hao asked.

"The official has consulted all contestants, and with a unanimous vote you will automatically get a spot in the top 16." Long Aotian said.

"Why?" Wang Hao was stunned.

"Because you are too strong." Long Aotian said, "In the limited-time public dungeon, the video of your seven-day experience was posted on the front page of the Island Monument Forum. So, everyone knows that you defeated Crocodile, defeated a group of strong men in Alabasta with just your clone, and even withstood the thunder sanction. They are afraid that you will do something weird."

"What's going on?" Wang Hao was dumbfounded.

"What would happen if you rushed to the first check-in point as quickly as possible and then banned everyone from checking in, or turned into a wolf king and hunted all the contestants? In a one-on-one duel, no one thinks they can beat you." Long Aoxue rolled her eyes. "Competitions are competitions. Even if you can't get first place, if you perform well or rank high, you will be sought after by good universities. If you create a famous scene where only one person makes it to the top 16, the others will have no chance of winning."

"After watching the forum video, all the contestants think you have the ability. In order to prevent you from being eliminated in the melee, all the contestants unanimously agreed to single you out and put you in the top 16. It would be more cost-effective to play in the individual competition at that time." Long Aotian said, "The college competition is not only about ranking and choosing a university, but also an annual entertainment event."
