Onmyoji of the Grand Line

Page 219

“Flowers…” he murmured to himself.

Just as Robin was muttering to himself, the man on the elephant's back spoke.

"...Sailors! Pirates on the Grand Line!"

"That's right! I am who I am, I am who I am!"

Luffy raised his arm.

"Welcome to Carnival Island! I am the Baron of the Carnival!"

"The King of the Wild?"

"To the one who brought you here! You must be tired from your journey! First of all, we need to rest. I hope you can get some rest here!"

Upon hearing this, Nami, Sanji, and Chopper all showed a strange glint in their eyes. This was a resort that only existed in dreams, possessing everything imaginable. Long journeys often leave one lacking healthy skin, but the ultimate indulgence was in delicious food.

"However, before that, you must undergo a test, a hellish test (by Wang Zhaohao)!"

Baron Carnival's words silenced everyone.

This description of the bloody trials of hell was like a bucket of ice water poured down from the sky.

"Just as I thought!" Luffy muttered to himself.

"This is a trap!" Usopp muttered to himself.

"I have something to do! What place are you talking about?"

"Hot springs?" Luffy asked, noting that they were nearby.

"The most beautiful woman in the world, the most beautiful woman."

“Amber?” Angell was taken aback.

"There is also a sumptuous feast."

What is the Manchu Han Imperial Feast? Is it safe to eat?

Upon hearing Baron Carnival's words, Nami and the others felt their hearts sink to the bottom.

Chapter 244: The Appearance of the Gladiator Arena!

"Let's go!"

"Wait, wait! Uncle! What is the trial of hell?"

Luffy suddenly became interested and pulled the three of them in front of him.

"The so-called Trial of Hell is actually a test of your strength! So far, no one has been able to pass the test. But quite a few have successfully escaped the island."

"Yes! That's really interesting!"

Luffy immediately perked up.

"Young man, if you don't trust your companions, leave now! But from then on, you will become a laughingstock throughout the entire Grand Line!"

"What?!" Regner exclaimed in surprise.

Zorro and Sanji's expressions changed.

"Are you kidding me! Go take the test!"

"Luffy, you two need to think this through! What's the point of us undergoing trials in hell?"

"That's right! Luffy, we still don't know who 677 is? This is too dangerous!"

Nami and Chopper try to persuade the captain.

"Let's take on the challenge!"

When Luffy said that, Nami felt a wave of dizziness.

That's it.

Luffy always loves adventure, even if he gains nothing.

"The upcoming banquet will be a test."

"Ha, Luffy, can't you just keep pushing yourself like this?"

Usopp looked like he was about to admit defeat.

"Regardless of whether there are traps or not, are you confident you can get through?"

Luffy's words brought smiles to both Sanji and Zoro's faces.

"Yes, Captain!"

"What place is that? What can you see there?"

Luffy trusts his crewmates, and he trusts his crewmates. That's what true friendship is—fighting to the death together!

“I want to go too. I’m very interested in this baron.”

Nico Robin was unusually enthusiastic about joining the operation, and everyone's opinions gradually came together.

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it. Let's get this sorted out quickly!"

Nami knew very well that Luffy was someone willing to risk his life. Moreover, he placed his crew above all else, and would never allow them to fall into unpredictable danger because of his own actions. In Luffy's eyes, Nami and the others weren't subordinates, but his best friends. They all had their own ideals, and Nami and the others trusted and relied on Luffy. But this wasn't simply relying on their captain; it was about achieving their own dreams.

This is their friendship.

"Okay, go ahead."

"Luffy, since you put it that way, then I'll go!"

Chopper and Usopp both agreed, and Luffy's wish became everyone's wish.

The Straw Hat Pirates shouted in unison.

"Hahaha..." So that means you're all going to participate? Okay! Then let's write down your names and jobs.

A dancer with a full beard handed over the registration form.

"Occupation?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

"I am a navigator, Chopper is a doctor, and you are a captain."

Nami wrote down the names and occupations of her seven friends on a piece of paper.

The Carnival Baron took a registration form from the dancer, checked it, examined the flower on his shoulder carefully, and then announced loudly:

"Next comes the test of hell!"

Click! Click click click click!

As Baron the Reveler spoke, the ground began to tremble.

"What, what's going on?"

Usopp screamed in terror.

The ground cracked, and all the buildings were pushed to the center. How to describe it? It was like oil, or some other substance, sliding down the ground.

In this open space, with stands on both the left and right, cheers rose and fell.

A cheer erupted. The amusement park, which had been filled with various styles of entertainment, was transformed in the blink of an eye into a circular fighting arena.

"Wow!" came a gasp.

Chopper, engrossed in eating, leaped up and hugged Zorro tightly.

The pebbles moved beneath his feet. As the stones sank, a great deal of water gushed out.

The area where Luffy and his crew were located, however, did not collapse; instead, it formed a body of water.

"Now, I shall announce what the trials of hell are." First!

Just as Luffy and his crew were completely focused, a huge firework suddenly exploded in the sky with a loud bang.

"Catch the goldfish!" a loud shout rang out.

The electronic bulletin board displayed the details of the match.

"Yes, let's catch a goldfish first!"

The fireworks were still burning in the air when an aquarium appeared in front of Luffy and the others in the center of the platform.

"Is this what goldfish fishing is like?"

Nami was relieved. In the pond, goldfish of all sizes were swimming.

"This is just a regular fishing trip! The rules are simple: whoever catches the most goldfish wins! However, the paper in the fishing net is special; it dissolves in the water, hahaha!"

The Wild Baron chuckled, holding a fishing net in his hand.

Both of them were making their own preparations.

"Next, I'm going to introduce you to my most prized subordinate! Muchigoro, you come out here!"

Upon hearing this, Muchigoro immediately stepped forward.

The stands were packed, and the audience erupted in cheers. It seemed the people on this island all grew leaves.
