The next day.
At dawn, Kuro set off with Marines and went to the town of molting with Stork.
The Martial Arts Conference began at 10 a.m. It would not take that long to get from this village to the town of Shedding. They left early and arrived at the town at 9 a.m.
"There are too many strong people in the Martial Arts Conference. The last time I participated, although I tried my best, I was still knocked off the stage. But this time, I still want to try again."
Looking at the town buildings in front of her, Momori said to Leda.
"Eh? You are not weak. There is actually someone who can deal with you?" Leda said in surprise.
Kijutsu is not weak. Not to mention archery, even CP members who have learned the Rokushiki are not their opponents. Although the people who participate in the Martial Arts Conference in the town of Shedding look 'famous', in Lida's eyes, a person who has learned the Rokushiki can definitely deal with them, let alone Kijutsu.
"It's 'Lo'…"
Stork's expression dimmed. "Last time, 'Lo' participated and I lost to him."
"Oh? The Luo Family is also participating as the organizer? Isn't that too much of a foul?" Kuro raised his eyebrows and said.
"Huh?"
Pallas was stunned and was about to say something when Kuro quickly waved his hand. "Lida, talk to her!"
He finally understood that this woman's auditory hallucinations are based on people. If Leda can speak normally, they must have auditory hallucinations.
He did not want to be bullied anymore. If he talked to this woman more, his lifespan would probably decrease a lot.
She looks so gentle and cute, but it's a pity that her ears are f*cking sick. It's simply ridiculous.
Leda repeated Kuro's words. This time, Momori heard it clearly and shook her head. "They don't play every time. When they play, it seems to depend on their mood and they will play if they think it's interesting. Some people are killed in the ring and some people live, but they also lose their fighting spirit and can't pull themselves together…"
Hearing this, Kuro narrowed his eyes. "That's quite interesting. Did they meet a strong person and couldn't help but step down? Then I'm afraid they will be disappointed this time."
With that, they approached the gate of the town and walked in.
As soon as they entered the town of molting, Pallas looked around in a daze, and there was a trace of doubt in the depths of her eyes.
"Town of Shedding, is that so?" She was a little confused.
"What's wrong, Sister Stork?" Leda asked.
"No…"
Pallas shook her head. "In the past, the town of Shedding was very prosperous during the Martial Arts Conference, but why are there so few people this time?"
"Hehe… maybe it's not very lively this time. Maybe everyone is tired of it and won't come."
Leda chuckled and rolled her eyes at Kuro.
The culprit is here!
"That group of people did a good job."
Kuro rubbed his chin and looked around.
At this time, the town of Shedding Town was cold and cheerless. Not to mention the people participating in the Martial Arts Conference, even the local people were sparse and closed their doors.
Under the perception of his Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki, almost all the people in the town of Shedding are gone, leaving only those weak 'Sea Allied Forces', and that group of people are gathered together.
"Let's go and take a look." A smile appeared on Kuro's face and he walked over.
He changed his mind. Originally, he was going to look for the Luo Family's Patriarch, but now he wanted to see what the Martial Arts Conference would be like.
The Martial Arts Conference is a grand occasion in the Nation of Insects. It is the same every year. Every time it comes to the Martial Arts Conference, the nobles of the neighboring countries and the important people of their country will come here to watch the battle. This is a grand occasion in the West Blue.
However, there are some exceptions this year.
Because the Country of Insects and the Country of Flowers are in a war, other countries don't dare to offend the Country of Flowers, so they don't come. And the nobles of the Country of Insects, maybe because of the war, have not arrived yet.
Only those martial artists, as usual.
But this time, there are even fewer martial artists.
At the entrance of the huge building complex in the center of the town of Shedding, several huge rings have been set up. A large number of people are gathered in front of the rings, each of them looking at the huge door with anticipation and confidence.
"Eh?"
When she came here, the doubt in the eyes of the stork deepened.
Because this group of people… looks very weak.
Where did all those famous martial artists go?
Why is this Martial Arts Conference completely different?
"Hey, have you heard?"
A weak martial artist said to the person next to him, "It seems that the Revolutionary Army is really here."
"Ha? Do you think it's fake? Marine Master said it's real. Otherwise, how can we drive those people out?" The martial artist rolled his eyes and said excitedly:
"This is a rare opportunity. If we are the only ones, then everyone has a chance to win the championship. There are fiefs and noble titles!"
"Hey, didn't you say you are the best in the world?"
"Just listen to those words. If you're really afraid, I can choose not to go."
"Ha! What a joke!"
Conversations like this are almost everywhere in the crowd.
They know that they are weak, but… if everyone is on the same level, then it doesn't matter whether they are weak or not.
If I'm weak, aren't you weak?
There is a comparison between strong and weak. Without the strong, there will be no weak.
There are no weaklings, everyone is strong.
Yes! That's it!
Everyone stared at the high platform at the front with anticipation.
Above, there were two hosts, a man and a woman, holding microphones with strange expressions.
"Brother Warner, Martial Arts Conference, is it like this?" The female host pursed her lips and looked at the group of thin martial artists below. She felt that, it seemed, probably… something was wrong.
The host named Warner is a relatively famous host in West Blue. In addition to this year, he has been the host of the Nation of Insects Martial Arts Conference for three consecutive years. He should have been familiar with it and used a passionate tone to explain the confrontation of fists and blood in the Martial Arts Conference.
At the same time, he is also a fan of the Martial Arts Conference, because this kind of fierce hand-to-hand combat is almost impossible to see except for Marine and Pirate fighting at sea.
But he is not a reporter, nor will he go deep into any dangerous place. The Martial Arts Conference is the stage where he can play the most.
But …
What the hell is this!
What exactly is this group of people?!
Where are those famous martial artists!
Just by looking at his face, you can feel that he will say that you are dead next!
Why are they all so ugly!
"Candace, don't worry. Maybe the real strong ones haven't come yet."
Warner swallowed hard and spoke against his will.
He didn't really believe it himself.
For a grand event like the Martial Arts Conference, everyone must have come early. Even if there were some who were stuck, it was impossible for everyone to be stuck.
This time… something happened.
