"I lost."
"This level of swordsmanship... calling you the world's number one swordswoman is no exaggeration." Jimmy stared at Musashi with a gloomy face.
The audience in the auditorium was shocked by what had just happened, especially the audience standing close to where the lightsaber was slashed.
Even after the lightsaber disappeared, they couldn't get up from the shock. At this moment, their legs felt like jelly!
"Excellent! As expected, the members of the Drake Pirates are indeed amazing!"
The audience cheered.
"You are right. The host of Duel Island is also very strong, it's a pity that he has been defeated. But that lightsaber earlier was really terrifying, it's no surprise that he was defeated by that technique."
"With the host's defeat, now the rules of Duel Island will be shaken."
"Hmph!" Hearing the audience's comments, the burly man looked at Jimmy with an unpleasant look, "Jimmy has really embarrassed us. Do we need to compromise with mere Pirates? If we compromise, many people will try breaking the Island's rules."
Jimmy's other colleagues were silent. They agreed to Jimmy's proposal with the idea that the man would win the battle, and now Jimmy had been defeated by Musashi.
"Why are you silent? Are you afraid?" Seeing that the others were silent, the burly man asked dissatisfiedly.
"You guys weren't like this before. Could it be that years of peaceful life have dulled your resolve and strength?"
"Huh, no wonder your strength hasn't improved much in the past few years."
Hearing the burly man's words, the others frowned.
Although upset, they felt that the burly man's words were valid.
In the past, they were all powerful people in the sea; few people dared to challenge them, and those who did would be killed.
By chance, they came together to hold a competition on the Island, which made their lives much more stable but also affected their sharpness.
"You're right, Duel Island is our territory, and we're the ones who set the rules here. We can't let them do as they please."
Under the burly man's gaze, someone finally spoke up, followed by the others' agreement.
"Hahaha!" Hearing his colleagues' answers, the burly man laughed.
"Then let's take action. Since Jimmy has lost, he will no longer be our partner."
"Losers didn't allowed to lead!"
Everyone was silent and had no objection to the burly man's proposal.
"Since you have agreed, then let's go, defeat that woman as well as the others."
The strong man led the team and quickly attacked Musashi.
"Be careful!"
Seeing that his former comrades wanted to attack, Jimmy hurriedly warned Musashi and her friends.
Seeing this, Vermillion laughs.
After stopping time, Vermillion materialized the Shadow Rampage (Kratos' Ability) assigned to attack the burly man.
When Vermillion reran time, the people who were previously stopped by the time returned to 'consciousness.'
*Bang!*
Jimmy's other companions were still galloping towards the Musashi, only the burly man suddenly had his head hit the ground.
"?!!!"
Seeing the sudden appearance of a mysterious shadow resembling Vermillion's form, the people in charge of the Island immediately widened their eyes and stopped their movement.
They didn't know why the mysterious shadow suddenly appeared, and it even managed to trample the strongest among them.
"Aghh!"
Seeing Shadow Rampage stomp on the arrogant man, Vermillion smiled. Instructing it to exert more power, the Shadow Rampage once again stomped on the opponent, but this time with more force.
*Boom!*
In an instant, the entire dueling field was instantly split.
The face of the burly man under Shadow Rampage's feet was covered in blood. The man who endured the stomp felt like his head was going to burst!
Inwardly he wondered what had happened. Obviously, he was still focused on attacking Musashi just now, but somehow his face suddenly hit the ground!
A colossal force hit his head again when he was about to struggle from the ground.
Seeing the burly man in pain, Vermillion instructed Shadow Rampage to kick him toward his colleagues in the distance.
The burly man caught by his comrades finally knew who had buried him in the ground.
It turned out that he had been stepped on by the shadow controlled by the swordswoman's boss!
"I should not have agreed to your proposal. It seems that the reputation held by the person in charge of this Island cannot be trusted." Vermillion said with both hands in his pockets.
At this moment, his other Servants appeared behind him.
The burly man, as well as his comrades, were silent. They did not see clearly how the man's attack suddenly hit.
Moreover, the strongest person among them had been seriously injured by Marshal Blue himself. Now they were beginning to regret their impulsive behavior.
"Wait, Sir Marshal Blue."
Seeing Vermillion wanting to destroy his comrades, Jimmy hurriedly dragged his injured body to the center of the arena.
"I have conceded defeat and am willing to hand over the match prize. Musashi is the champion of this competition, so there is no need for us to come into conflict."
Vermillion looked at Jimmy with an amused look; he said, "If you're willing to concede Musashi's victory, then why did your companion attack Musashi just now? Doesn't sound like an admission of defeat."
"That... that..." Jimmy became so anxious he couldn't even answer that simple question.
He also knew that what his colleagues had done just now could not be excused by some mere persuasion, but he still wanted to try.
After all, judging from the current situation, their side was definitely not Vermillion's opponent.
"Cough! Cough! Jimmy, you're the cause of this situation!" The burly man blamed Jimmy.
"Thanks to your defeat, I became like this! You're a failure, you don't deserve to be the ruler of the Island!"
