Chapter 495: Muzan is Truly Cowardly!
Marine Calendar 1500, June 1st.
This day was destined to be remembered by future generations, because today was the opening day of the Selection Trial for the 'First Myriad Worlds Top 100 Combat Power Tournament' hosted by the World Government.
On this day, the Citizens living in the various Affiliated Countries and large and small Islands on the Sea Star Mainland had already turned on their Visual Den Den Mushi.
They were either at home with their Family, eating Fruit and waiting leisurely, or they brought out small stools and gathered in the Open Ground of Towns to enjoy the viewing experience on a Large Screen.
Even the Officers of the Marine Headquarters, Army Headquarters, and Air Force Headquarters temporarily put down their training in Haki and Life Return, as well as their biology books.
After all, curiosity is inherent in everyone.
At the same time.
In Hinamoto of the Kabaneri World, various countries in the Demon Slayer World, and Paradis Island in the Titan World, dense crowds also gathered together, watching the super-sized Virtual Screen floating in the Air.
The World, in their hearts, was equivalent to the legendary Divine Realm, already full of attraction, not to mention that people from their own Worlds were also participating.
Not only that.
It was said that after the Selection Trial began later, the Screen Feed they watched would be broadcast from the main Viewpoint of their own contestants.
At this moment.
Yasnaya Island in the East Blue, Yamisiti Island in the South Blue, Royeia Island in the West Blue, and Garsas Island in the North Blue could no longer be described as receiving widespread attention; 'anticipated by hundreds of millions' would be a more fitting description.
Currently, these four Islands, which had been renovated into Selection Trial Arenas, were surrounded by twelve medium-sized Warships from the Marine Headquarters and dozens of small Warships from the Four Blues Branch.
At the same time, Medical Ships with red cross symbols painted on their White Sails were standing ready.
However, the most numerous were the Transport Ships carrying the contestants.
Because the number of registered participants in each Sea Area reached around ten thousand, the World Government, considering Order and Safety issues, stipulated that one hundred contestants should board one Ship.
This resulted in over a hundred of these Transport Ships.
There were also two huge Airship suspended in the Air, casting a vast Shadow below. These Airship actually carried a portion of the contestants as well.
According to the competition rules.
The number of people landing on the Island per match was one thousand, with a time limit of up to three days. This meant the large-scale Selection Trial would conclude in approximately thirty days. Then, on July 1st, the official 'Top 100 Competition' would take place on an undisclosed Island in the First Half of the Grand Line.
Titan World.
Im was currently on a lawn on the fourth floor of Noah's Ark with Historia, Stussy, Enel, and others, watching a large Virtual Screen composed of twelve combined Screen Feeds.
This place was lush and green, the Air was fresh, and the Environment was very suitable for casual viewing.
The Viewpoint on the twelve Screen Feeds, aside from the overhead views of the four Islands, was fixed on the contestants he was more concerned with in the other eight feeds.
These were people like Muzan Kibutsuji and Mima Amatori.
"Muzan, this guy is truly cowardly to the extreme..."
Im felt utterly speechless watching Muzan Kibutsuji on the Screen Feed, maintaining a standard Smile, looking harmless as he stood among the group of contestants.
Even though his Ability and Strength were quite good, he actually requested a Powerhouse to secretly protect him.
In fact, given Muzan's current Identity and Value, even if he hadn't proposed it himself, the World Government would have had someone watch him.
However, with his Height barely over 1.7 meters, his seemingly slender Physique, and his Gentleman-like fair Face, at first glance, he really did give off a feeling of being easy to bully.
Just look at the muscular men nearby holding various Weapon, occasionally looking Muzan up and down with a playful Gaze.
It's worth mentioning.
Muzan Kibutsuji was participating in the North Blue Arena, while Mima Amatori was in the West Blue Arena...
[Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!]
When the Time reached 10 AM, a large amount of fireworks simultaneously rose into the Sky above the four major Selection Trial Arenas, briefly forming the large colorful characters 'Myriad Worlds Combat Power Competition Selection Trial' in the Sky.
"Audience watching the Live Broadcast, the first match of the First Myriad Worlds Combat Power Competition Selection Trial has finally begun! I am your old friend and the host of this Competition, Stella!"
At the same time, a pleasant female voice, extremely familiar to many people, reached the ears of people in various Worlds, countries, and Various Places in the form of narration, which caused quite a few cheers.
Stella's popularity on the Sea Star Mainland now was no less than Tesoro's or Brook's. Her appearance and voice were simply top-notch, completely the type that appeals to both men and women.
"We can see that each arena has ten Transport Ships, carrying a total of one thousand contestants approaching the Island from different Direction."
"According to the rules, they are not allowed to attack each other within two hours after landing on the Island. During this period, they can find a place to hide. Then, at exactly 12 PM noon, the fighting will begin promptly, continuing until only one hundred contestants remain within three days."
"If there are more than one hundred contestants on the Island after three days, the Top 100 will be selected based on the number of opponents each contestant has defeated."
Immediately after, Stella's Gaze swept towards the top of the Large Screen.
"I believe everyone should have already seen those two Airship in the Air, right?"
"That's because a portion of the contestants are landing on the Island via airdrop. However, the World Government will not provide any assistance other than the Airship; they must rely on their own Ability to land!"
After saying this, Stella saw that the Transport Ships were still some Distance from the Beach, so she picked up a Document in front of her and began introducing the Situation on the Islands.
"Next, I will briefly introduce the Selection Trial Arenas to everyone."
"According to the Data provided by the World Government, these four Islands in the Four Seas have an Area of about fifty thousand square kilometers each after extensive Renovation."
"They contain large areas of Jungle, Desert, Rivers, swamps, Towns, and a Sky Island located in the central Sky above. The Environment types are very rich."
"Furthermore, there are some dangerous Creature on the Islands, such as giant Insect, carnivorous Plants, fierce large Wild Beast, and even 'Man-Eating Demon' from the Demon Slayer World, 'Kabaneri World' from the Kabaneri World, and 'Pure Titan' from the Titan World."
"So the Challenges they face are not only other contestants but also threats from the Island itself!"
After hearing this long description, many Citizens on the Sea Star Mainland and in the other three Worlds all gasped.
At this moment.
They finally had a slight understanding of what the concept of Top 100 Combat Power meant.
Just then, in the Live Broadcast Screen Feed, the eight Airship had already arrived above the four Islands first, and then contestants successively leaped down from them.
Some of them directly transformed into a certain kind of Animal or Insect possessing Flying Ability, some brought their own small gliders, while others were even in a straight Freefall.
The majority of them chose to dive down towards the Sky Island.
It makes sense.
There were less than one hundred contestants who chose to airdrop, and most contestants didn't have Flying Ability. As long as they could get a foothold on the Sky Island, things would be much easier afterwards.
However, the Sky Island's Area was smaller, at most similar to a small City, so the initial competition intensity would definitely be more intense.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Im saw that Muzan Kibutsuji unexpectedly didn't wait for the Transport Ship to approach the Beach at all. Under the surprised Gazes of many on the Ship, he directly jumped into the Sea, and then disappeared without a trace in the splashing Water Spray.
"This works too?"
