The battle was something out of series, it was something more than a fight between two Beasts, Pizarro was using a big axe, while Aslaug was using his fists, both were using Haki armor, but even so the big difference between them was seen.
Abalo Pizarro assumed that he would have the advantage, but he was totally wrong, Aslaug was a fighter who was extremely fast, had incredible reflexes, and a monstrous strength, she was a born fighter, and for the icing on the cake, she was a user of Observation Haki as well as Armor Haki.
Pizarro couldn't keep up, every hit Aslaug gave was precise and calculated, she only hit Pizarro's vital points,
Pizarro: You are stronger than you look I didn't expect you to get to the point where I would be completely defeated. .... I admit defeat.
Laffitte: Looks like we have a winner...Sonkire Aslaug makes it to the quarter finals...the next fight is between At Wieser vs Rofta.
The two entered the arena, as they exchanged glances.
Rofta: So let's see who is the best, At, after all we didn't train for so long for nothing....
At: Now we will see if talent can beat perseverance.
At, referred to the talent that Rofta had with the sword, since he was even on par with Marc, which caught Katahara's attention, while At had tried so hard to train that he had lost count of how many repetitions he did each exercise.
As soon as the fight began, At transformed into his Hybrid form, on his back he had huge white wings, his hands became claws, while Rofta had unsheathed his two swords.
Rofta: Don't disappoint me kid, hahahaha.
While aiming his swords imbued with Haki.
Rofta lunged at At, who countered by throwing a powerful blow accompanied by rocks from the ground.
The two began to fight head on, receiving, blocking and counterattacking.
While in the box where Katahara and the high commanders of each tribe and kingdom were.
Katahara: You both have an incredible future....
Laxus: At like his brother Marc has great potential.
Robin: You got attached to the boys, Laxus...who would have thought that our great Laxus....
Dabi: At, he has not yet fully mastered the skills of his fruit. .... Drust achieved more than him with only a few months of training...
Van Augur: Drust went through the forge, just like all of us, he wouldn't be worthy of being with us if he didn't.
Robin: But, even so, managing to master the Doku Doku No mi, even almost awakening it, is impressive.
Katahara: Robin, after the confrontation I want a report on what I asked you to do.
Robin just nodded with a smile.
Katahara: So we already have everyone who will enter the quarter finals.... Interesting... I wonder how many among you are already at the level of a first Yonkō commander.
Meanwhile, Laffitte announced the winners and who had advanced to the round of 16,
Laffitte: These are the 8 individuals who made it to the round of 16.... The order of battle will be as follows...Agrom vs Urouge, Conis vs Ris...hohohoho Shiryu vs Catarina Devon and lastly Rofta vs Aslaug.
All the people then started to scream with excitement, for the 4 fights that were coming up.
A short time later a black bear appeared, along with a tall and sturdy giant of a man with defined muscles, these were Agrom and Urouge.
Urouge: Who would have thought that we would have to face each other in order to have this post....
Agrom: Now we will know which one of us is the strongest, my friend...
Urouge: Don't hold back Agrom, being here is the will of the supreme one....
At that precise moment the battle began.
Agrom as well as Urouge, jumped to face each other in a fist fight, Urouge knew that now he could not depend on his fruit, he would suffer too much damage.
On Agrom's side, he had started to use Electro on his fists, the special ability of the Minks.
Urouge didn't expect that, but still didn't back down, instead he decided to use a combination of Tekkai along with Armor Haki, in order to keep up with the battle, Agrom had also decided to use Armor Haki.
As the two continued in their street battle of blows, Urouge began to grow from the blows received.
Urouge: Karmic Strike.
Giving a powerful blow with his right fist to Agrom, but what he didn't expect was that Agrom deflected his fist in another direction with his right hand, to then give him a powerful kick, Agrom had redirected Urouge's attack to himself, adding the force of his Agrom's kick.
Eight months ago, on Markland Island.
Katahara: I guess now you got all the moves Agrom, now you just have to practice them....
Agrom: Thank you very much Captain .... But why are you teaching me all these techniques?
Katahara: That's because I have a lot of interest in you Agrom, I know you haven't shown your full potential yet... just make sure you make it to the finals.
Back to the present, Urouge found it hard to stand up after the powerful blow.
Urouge: Argh...what the fuck was that.
Agrom waited for Urouge to stand up, but he felt a look from the top of the coliseum, this look was from his captain Katahara, then he understood that he should end the battle right now.
Agrom, not waiting for Urouge to get in fighting position, started to give powerful blows that Urouge tried to block or dodge, but it was useless, he received each blow in full, causing great damage.
Urouge: Karmic Fist.
Sending a powerful fist in the direction of Agrom, who dodged it and then began to give blows so strong that Urouge could not stand up any longer, Urouge was on his knees thanks to the blows that Agrom had given him.
Agrom didn't wait for Urouge to stand up, and gave him a powerful blow with his fist, leaving a big crater in the sand with Urouge in the middle.
Agrom: RRROOOOOOAAAAARRRR!
Giving a mighty roar that was heard throughout the coliseum, making it known that Agrom himself had emerged victorious. As Agrom roared a smile formed on Katahara's face.
Laffitte: Agrom is the first to advance to the quarterfinals... the next battle will be between Conis vs Ris.
A short time later Conis appeared next to Ris. It was clear to see the difference between the two, although Conis had been training longer than Ris, he had not yet participated in so many battles, while Ris had to survive in the Gyogin district for years, in a constant battle to get even a little food.
Ris had the experience, but Conis had the technique and the strength.
It didn't take long for the battle to begin, Ris didn't hold back in the slightest and attacked Conis with everything she had, who tried to counterattack, but she realized that Ris didn't give her a chance to do so.
Conis had awakened his armor Haki only a few weeks ago, just like Ris, both began to fight more violently.
The cute and gentle Conis, had become a warrior who was not afraid of anything, she threw herself against Ris in a violent way, but without losing her concentration.
Ris realized that this battle would not be easy, both were very evenly matched, but one of them would preserve.
Meanwhile in the box where all the main crew were.
Dabi: This Gyiogin is all talent, to reach this level in such a short time...
Van Augur: Conis has nothing to envy... although if we talk about brute force Ris has an advantage. ....
Laxus: Both are still young and have a lot of room for improvement.
Robin: Captain, it looks like we have two diamonds in the rough here.
Katahara: I didn't imagine that among the gyogin we brought we'd find something of this caliber.... Robin: Ragnar, I want you to assemble trustworthy men for a mission.
Ragnar: Sure Katahara, but may I know the mission.
Katahara: I'll tell you later...
Van Augur: There is already a winner.... it's a pity....
Dabi: Luck belongs to those who have it.
Moments before, Regis had thrown his trident to Conis, who received it and threw it again to Ris, trying to distract him while using Rokuogan.
The attack was successful, Ris received the Rokugan in full, but still did not retreat, instead he grabbed Conis' head.
Conis wasted no time and started to use Shigan, having half success, as Ris was using Haki where Conis had wanted to hurt him.
Ris grabbed Conis' head and started to give strong and violent blows to Conis, while preventing Conis from escaping, by the time he was done, both Ris and Conis were in a pitiful state....
Ris: Impressive, staying on your feet after that.
Conis: Same here Ris.
Ris was bleeding in some parts of his body as he also had some holes in his chest and stomach, while Conis on the other hand was battered all over his body with blood coming out of his head and mouth.
Both were looking at each other for a few moments until Conis could no longer stand up, and fell unconscious.
