There were 16 candidates for the position of commanders, which would face each other in the coliseum of the island.
Where were all the level 6 prisoners of Impel Donw, obviously Sanjuan Wolf would not participate, there were 2 Skydians Urouge and Conis, The Wieser brothers, Shiryu of the Rain, also the 2 new Lyonel and Rofta, representing the tritons was Hyouzou the blue-ringed octopus, on behalf of the Gyiogin were Zeo the carpet shark representing the Gyiogin, and also another new Gyiogin who had demonstrated a monstrous talent, this one was a great white shark.
He was large and muscular, he has long, black hair sprouting from the back of his neck, reaching down to his shoulders, below what appears to be a brown ushanka, which covers his head. He has a fin on the back of his neck, surrounded by his hair, and gills are found on both sides of his neck, he has menacing eyes, with long, distinctive eyelashes, a mouth full of sharp, triangular shaped teeth and a flattened nose, his name was Ris.
And finally the daughter of Ragnar, who had proven to be strong enough to hold the title of commander.
Katahara: It seems that everything is ready ....
Laffitte: Captain, Rob Lucci, you have just communicated.... He said that the Cp0 member are on their way to establish relationship with the ruler of the Onis.
Katahara: He didn't tell you who was assigned to that mission.
Laffitte: He said the head of Cp0 himself and 2 of the strongest members, along with Rob Lucci himself, and Kaku.
Katahara was surprised by the revelation,
Katahara: He didn't tell you how soon they will arrive, it might be a big battle, if you catch us off guard.
Laffitte: They will arrive in approximately 2 weeks, Captain.
Receiving a smile in response.
Katahara: Tell everyone to get ready, we will start shortly.
As soon as the news that the battles would take place soon, the whole arena was filled with spectators, all the people under Katahara's command were there, as well as Ragnar and some Jarls, as well as the Adeptus Mechanicus, as well as the heads of the Skypiea factions.
Katahara: Today the selection of 3 crew commanders will take place... The competition consists of the loser of a match being immediately eliminated from the competition, while the winner advances to the next phase... The 16 battles will be held by a draw or ..... This competition will start with the Round of 16, after that all winners will advance to the Quarterfinals..... After that the best 4 will move on to the Semifinals, while, for the two losers of the Semifinals, they will have a battle to decide the 3rd place, The two people who make it to the finals will officially be commanders, the battles will not stop until the next 3 commanders are obtained.
While drawing names from a jar.
Katahara: This will be the order of battles.
Agrom vs Dobby Ibadonbo
Vasco Shot vs Urouge
Zeo vs Conis
Lyolen vs Ris
Shiryu vs Hyouzou
Catarina Devon vs Marc Wieser
Aslaug vs Avalo Pizarro
At Wieser vs Rofta
Causing shouts of excitement from the whole place.
The first match was already underway, Agrom vs Dobby Ibadonbo.
Agrom had demonstrated monstrous strength along with incredible reflexes, Dobby Ibadonbo used his fists to fight just like Agrom, but obviously there was a difference between the two, Agrom was in almost perfect condition, on the other hand, Dobby Ibadonbo was bloody faced and extremely tired.
The battle had reached the point, that it looked like a street battle, receiving and receiving blows incessantly, until Dobby Ibadonbo could not keep up, giving the first victory to Agrom.
Katahara: Agrom moves on to the quarterfinals... the next match will be between Vasco Shot vs Urouge.
At that moment the two appeared in the middle of the arena ready to fight.
Vasco Shot: Toptoptoptoptoptoptop.
Vasco reigns as he took a sip of his drink.
Receiving a smile from Urouge.
Laffitte: Begin.
Vasco at that moment pulled out a gun and started firing at Urouge, who was dodging all the shots as he was getting closer to Vasco.
Vasco Shot: Toptoptoptoptoptoptop what fun.
Throwing his pistol and starting a fist fight against Urouge.
The two exchanged blows for a few minutes until Urouge began to roast armor Haki, which surprised Vasco, who pulled out a knife and covered it with Haki, starting to crash into Urouge's powerful fists, Urouge proved he was superior to Vasco, giving him powerful blows knocking him unconscious.
Katahara: The battles are shorter than I expected... although it's not unexpected after all these are the best among more than 14,000 people.
While shouts of adoration for Urouge could be heard from all the people in the sky.
Katahara: Urouge, you're through to the quarterfinals... next match. Zeo vs Conis.
The confrontation was even faster, Conis' strength was something to take into account, although Zeo wanted to dodge and attack he couldn't, he even used his camouflage to escape from Conis, but he still lost.
The battle of Lyonel and Ris was a close battle, Ris used a trident, while Lyonel did not use weapons.
It was a rare sight to see, Lyonel used his Hybrid form turning into a Lion man, to take on a great white shark, the battle then became a battle of speed.
Ris then started to use armor Haki on his trident, to face Lyonel, who was doing his best to dodge every hit, but it still wasn't enough, Lyonel still hadn't been able to awaken his Haki.
Ris continued attacking without giving Lyonel time to do anything but defend himself, until he was able to pierce him in the stomach, and then lift him with the force of the trident, and throw him to one of the walls of the coliseum.
Laffitte then stopped the fight deciding Ris as the winner.
Lyonel wanted to get up to continue the battle, but was stopped and taken to the medical booth.
Katahara: Ris is the winner, you move on to the quarter finals... The next battle is Shiryu vs Hyouzou.
Shiryu entered the arena with an intimidating aura, on the other hand, Hyouzou arrived at the arena completely drunk.
Shiryu was angry to the point that his veins were protruding from his face, he didn't wait for the fight to start before unsheathing his sword.
And the moment the fight started, he threw himself against Hyouzou.
He blocked his sword.

Hyouzou: Gairarara...Why so serious Shiryu.
Shiryu didn't respond, he just kept attacking, Hyouzou realized he couldn't go on like this and started to use armor Haki, as soon as Shiryu saw that he started to use Haki, but Shiryu started to leave cuts on Hyouzou's skin.
Hyouzou tried to stop Shiryu from continuing to damage him little by little, but it was useless Shiryu was so fast and stealthy to attack that he couldn't do anything to try to stop him.
Shiryu: Why don't you look as smiling as you did a few moments ago Gyogin.
Hyouzou took advantage and used 8 swords on each of its tentacles, each sword had its own poison.

Laffitte: Hohohohoho, we have a winner... Shiryu de la lluvia .... Our next match is between Catarina Devon vs Marc Wieser.
A short time later two people entered, a man and a woman, Marc carried two swords next to him, while Catarina carried a saber next to her.
It was not long before the signal was given to begin.
The two threw themselves against each other, clashing their swords.
*Metallic sound*

Catarina was furious, because of Marc's comment, so she decided to imbue her sword with Haki.
*metallic sound* *metallic sound* *metallic sound* *metallic sound* *metallic sound* *metallic sound*
Sending Marc flying, who managed to fall without suffering any injury.
Catarina: Why don't you say it again kid... I dare you!
Marc also decided to imbue Haki in his two katanas.
*metallic sound*

Catarina then noticed that Marc was going all out against her.
Catarina: Murunfuffuffuffuffuffuffuffu, let's see if this is to your liking.
As he gave her a powerful blow with his sword causing her to be thrown into the air again.
At that precise moment Catarina transformed into her brother At.
Marc: What the fuck...
As he received each blow Catarina threw.
*metallic sound*
* Metallic sound *
* Metallic sound *
*metal sound* *metal sound* *metal sound* *metal sound* *metal sound*
Marc: Damn old woman .... Using my brother's appearance.
Catarina was extremely angry, with Marc.
Catarina: Fire breath.
As she launched a flame of fire from her mouth, which Marc tried to dodge, but still couldn't get away from being hurt by the fire, Marc was on his knees.
Catarina was giving off bloodlust, as she prepared her next attack, but before she could reach Marc.
At that moment a black thunder crashed in the middle of Catarina and Marc, causing her to stop her attack, out of that thunder came Laxus.
Laxus: It's better that you stop Catarina...
At that moment Laffitte made the announcement.
Laffitte: Catarina Devon is the winner, and moves on to the quarter finals.... Next match is between Sonkire Aslaug vs Avalo Pizarro.
