Chapter 1378: Im's Expectation for Shanks!
"Doflamingo did well."
In the environment of the holographic virtual image.
Im, who was seated as if at the highest point of the Multiverse Duel Arena.
After watching the entire process, affirmed Doflamingo.
Indeed, making him the President of the Adventurer's Guild was the correct decision.
No matter what monsters and demons appear among the civilian population in the future, Doflamingo's identity, strength, and means are sufficient to suppress them.
Then Im's gaze shifted to Shanks, who was beside Doflamingo.
He had previously given up on the kid, thinking his thoughts were polluted by Roger, his mind only pursuing freedom, and only wanting to be a pirate.
But he didn't expect Doflamingo to actively seek him out, invite Shanks to join the Adventurer's Guild, and even give him the position of Vice President.
To be honest, when Im learned of this, he did consider intervening.
Kick Shanks out of the Adventurer's Guild and send people to capture him.
After all, if this guy were allowed to grow, he would very likely continue to oppose the World Government.
But in the end, he chose to remain silent, allowing Shanks to work in the Adventurer's Guild.
Im couldn't explain the specific reason; perhaps it was influenced by his 'previous life' again.
After all, he once liked 'Red-Hair' Shanks.
However, Im also understood in his heart.
If Shanks' thoughts didn't change, then he would definitely have to eliminate him in the end.
No one understood how high Shanks' talent was better than himself, including Shanks himself.
Now Im was waiting for Shanks to give him a reason to act against him through some kind of action.
"Take care of yourself, don't force Im," Im sighed faintly in his heart.
He actually had great hope that Shanks could turn over a new leaf and wholeheartedly serve the Celestial Dragons and the World Government.
Then he would naturally give him importance, invest more resources to cultivate him, and give him a bright future.
For example, managing an organization no less than the Adventurer's Guild in the future, or handing over the Holy Knights to him to command when the timing is right.
But all of this depended on Shanks' own choice.
Inside the Multiverse Duel Arena.
With the help of the alchemist from the Construction Department.
The arena, which had been shattered by the destruction of the Giant White Wolf, had been restored to flatness in a short time.
Everyone couldn't even see the traces of the previous destruction.
At the same time, the mages also finished repairing the Magic Barrier that Doflamingo had previously destroyed.
They still didn't understand how those strings passed through the Magic Barrier.
"Ha!"
"Everyone here, and the audience in front of the screen, although an unexpected situation occurred just now."
"But as you can see, we have the ability to handle any accident, so please feel free to enjoy the upcoming match!"
Gaz, who was both the host and referee, appeared in the air again riding a Rathalos and loudly addressed the crowd.
The audience in the arena also agreed with his words.
Now, just seeing Saint Doflamingo sitting on the rostrum filled their hearts with a sense of safety.
"Then, let's announce the two contestants for the fourth Top 16 duel!"
Gaz immediately seized the opportunity to focus everyone's attention on the virtual image in the air.
After the avatar and name flashed rapidly for a while, they finally stopped.
[Kyros VS Lian Ya]
"Wow ah ah ah, they're out!" Gaz shouted with passionate excitement, "It's our world's gladiator and a ninja from the Ninja World!"
[Roar——————]
The entire audience also felt excitement for the duel between these two, instantly forming wave after wave of uproar.
The strongest gladiator and the ninja nicknamed 'Evil Ninja'!
Currently, mages and ninjas are the two supernatural professions that Sea Star people are most interested in.
Because they both have quite complete training systems.
However, the condition for ninjas is higher than for mages.
Because the former needs to possess the physique to cultivate chakra, while the latter only needs to have a certain mental talent and be able to perform meditation.
However, Lian Ya, the party involved, had an extremely ugly expression at this moment.
"Damn it, what kind of terrible luck do I have?"
This Kyros had won first place twice before, and no matter how you looked at it, his strength was terrifyingly strong.
But Lian Ya could only bite the bullet and step into the duel arena, his eyes flashing with sinister ruthlessness.
Having lost his parents at a young age and growing up in the lower strata of the Land of Vegetables in a foreign land.
This led to his personality gradually becoming cold and ruthless, resorting to any means, and viewing human life as a blade of grass.
Although during this time he met Jiga and Ruiga, who were also orphans, and became sworn brothers with them.
But Lian Ya never really cared about them in his heart.
From the beginning, he valued Jiga and Ruiga's talent purely from the perspective of interests.
Of course, the other two were similar.
They were completely opposite to Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, who had similar plight.
On the opposite side, the calm-faced Kyros stood in the center, carrying a long sword nearly two meters long, like a resolute Spartan warrior.
Accepting the gaze of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire arena.
As a legendary swordfighter who had won three thousand victories in the past decade, he was already used to this kind of occasion.
Not long after, Gaz in the air had clearly introduced the origin of the two.
"Then I hereby announce!"
"Battle start!"
"Duel——————"
As soon as the words fell.
Kyros immediately drew the long sword from his back and exerted force with his feet, charging towards the Evil Ninja with lightning speed.
In the previous Swiss System, he had encountered a ninja and clearly understood that their melee capability was not very strong.
Of course, 'not very strong' was compared to himself.
Lian Ya also clearly understood how strong Kyros's melee combat strength was.
He immediately condensed a snowflake-shaped shuriken in his hand and threw it out, then immediately formed the 'Tiger' hand seal in front of his body with both hands.
At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Ice Release: Shuriken Ice Clone Technique!"
[Swish swish swish swish————]
Around the 'Snowflake Shuriken' flying in mid-air, more 'Snowflake Shuriken' continuously condensed.
In the blink of an eye, a dense Shuriken Black Mist had formed in front of Kyros.
The corner of Lian Ya's mouth curled up, revealing an evil and charming sneer.
He really had to thank that Second Hokage for his guidance.
Only by referencing the Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu could he develop the Shuriken Ice Clone Technique, which was more suitable for himself.
And the price he had to pay was to join the Shinobi Sect after participating in the Top 100 Competition.
However, that was just something he said at the time; he really didn't want to be too constrained.
Whether it was the Shinobi Sect or the Sea Ninja, he didn't want to go; it was better to stay in this world and be an adventurer.
As for the promise, what the hell was that!
However, the next second.
The seemingly overwhelming Shuriken Rain was broken through by Kyros in the blink of an eye.
Forcing Lian Ya to body flicker backward to pull away distance.
At the same time, he formed hand seals again in front of his body, activating the bloodline limit within him.
Because he was a descendant of the Kazahana Clan who had drifted to the Land of Vegetables.
And with the help of the Shinobi Sect, he had learned various ways to use Ice Release.
"Ice Release: Demonic Mirror Ice Crystals!"
The next moment, square ice mirrors began to rapidly condense inside the arena.
And Lian Ya himself instantly vanished into one of them.
Although Kyros cut it down with a sword, he was still transferred to other ice mirrors.
The ice mirrors in the arena were still increasing, even in the air.
Because the principle of this technique was freezing the moisture in the air.
Suddenly, Lian Ya's figure appeared in every ice mirror, and they all spoke at the same time.
"Then I'll finish you off in one go! Don't die!"
Kyros stood in place with no expression, holding the long sword in one hand and saying nothing.
Although he really wanted to win, he was looking forward to seeing more means from the otherworld. How interesting!
