**Chapter 496: Ideas from All Sides!**
"Can they do that?"
Inside the Propaganda Department's studio, Stella quickly asked when she saw Muzan Kibutsuji's actions. Soon, a nearby director quickly wrote on a Whiteboard.
After reading it, Stella understood.
"Audience friends, I have just received confirmation that Mr. Muzan Kibutsuji, who is from the 'Demon Slayer World', is acting in accordance with the Rules."
"According to the Selection Trial Rules, as long as you land on the competition Island within the specified Time, whether you go by Ship or swim is acceptable."
"However, as everyone knows, swimming in the Sea is very taxing on Stamina, so normally Speaking, few people would choose to do this..."
But just as her words fell, the Audience saw several figures jump directly off the Deck of another transport Ship in the East Blue Competition Zone, rushing towards Yasnaya Island with extremely fast Speed.
"It's the Fish-Man Tribe!"
"I didn't expect Fish-men to participate! This makes it even more interesting!"
On Sabaody Archipelago, Humans, Mermaids, and Fish-men were largely mixed together, gathered densely in a crowd, their animated discussions sounding extremely noisy.
However, among them were also some Mermaids and Fish-men who seemed to recognize the figures that briefly appeared on the Screen Feed, and various Exclamations continuously emerged.
"Is that Arlong and them?"
"Yes, it's them! I saw Hachi and Kuroobi!"
"How bold of them! They dare to participate in this kind of deadly Competition?"
On Fish-Man Island, King Neptune in Ryugu Kingdom was full of astonishment, then revealed a helpless Expression, and began to worry in his Heart.
Although Arlong and his group were considered low-level thugs, they were still his Citizens, and now that they were participating in the 'Combat Power Competition', they represented the Fish-Man Tribe to a certain extent.
At Marine Headquarters, the Fish-Man Unit Warriors like Jinbe, Tiger, and Aladdin were also speechless.
"It's over! These Bastards are definitely going to embarrass our Fish-Man Tribe!"
A Fish-man with sandy yellow Skin Color stood up, fiercely clenched his fists, and cursed loudly, "Not to mention Six Powers and Haki, their Fish-Man Karate isn't trained well, is it?"
"Indeed..."
Another purple-skinned Fish-man sighed.
Jinbe and Tiger exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in the other's eyes. The former said in a deep voice, "However, these guys are still a bit clever."
"By jumping into the Sea directly, they are clearly aiming to land on the Island early and then rush to the Rivers and Lakes in the central Inland (on the island) area at the fastest Speed. There, they can maximize the Fish-Man Tribe's Advantage!"
As they were Speaking, Arlong, leading Hachi, Kuroobi, Chew, and ten Mumei Fish-men, were the first to arrive at the Beach.
"Shahaha!"
"Keep running deeper! Let the Humans of the Whole World and Other Worlds see the Strength of the superior Fish-Man Tribe!"
Arlong bared a mouth full of sharp teeth, running forward with violent movements while holding the saw-toothed Great Saber in his hand, continuously laughing extremely wildly.
At this moment.
His Hot Blood was boiling!
Ever since he was previously stepped on by Major Hodgson of Marine Headquarters, Arlong finally realized that there were also Powerhouses among Humans.
But he still didn't give up the idea that the Fish-Man bloodline was superior to Human; he just felt his own Strength was insufficient.
From then on.
He began to increase his Training in Fish-Man Karate and Fish-Man Judo.
In Arlong's view, as long as he trained these two traditional Fish-Man Tribe Martial Arts to a certain level, that would be enough to rival, and even easily crush, those Powerhouses among Humans.
Although such a person hasn't appeared among the Fish-Man Tribe yet, that doesn't mean he can't become such a Powerhouse!
But no matter what.
Arlong is indeed much Stronger now compared to before. From this perspective, Jinbe and Tiger actually underestimated Arlong's Strength.
After they disappeared into the Jungle.
A moment later, the transport Ships on the Sea successively arrived at the Beach. Immediately, about a hundred contestants from each Ship flooded Inland (on the island).
These people were much quieter compared to Arlong.
They just seemed extremely vigilant towards each other, and then dispersed either individually or in groups of three to five.
On the northern Beach of Yasnaya Island.
A young strong man with a Physique/Build over two meters tall, covered head to toe in a layer of thick Iron armor and holding a heavy-looking great Iron gun in his hand, walked off the transport Ship.
And the nearly hundred contestants behind him surprisingly obediently followed behind him.
"Hehe, Boss Krieg, I really didn't expect the World Government to actually allow us to land on the Island together on one Ship. Aren't they afraid we'll rely on our numbers and kill all the isolated contestants?"
A dark-skinned young man with a vulgar Face and a fawning look between his brows leaned over and chuckled sinisterly.
"Hmph, Idiot!"
Krieg, who was only twenty-two years old this year and seemed very young, said disdainfully while walking forward, "Haven't you understood the purpose of this Combat Power Competition yet?"
"Uh, your meaning is..."
"The World Government wants to use this Competition to screen out true Powerhouses who can operate alone in Otherworlds. Then they will definitely encounter situations where the enemy has superior numbers. If they can't even handle this kind of Matter, that means he's not much of a Powerhouse either, so they simply don't stop people like us from gathering together!"
Krieg walked with a cold Gaze among the dense vegetation. Seeming to sense the flickering Gazes of some people behind him, he continued Speaking indifferently.
"But it's a fact that gathering together has an Advantage. So many of us acting together can definitely ensure that most people pass the Selection Trial. Since that's the case, why not do it?"
"Right! Boss is absolutely right!"
The dark-skinned young man excitedly echoed. He also felt a greater sense of Safety being in a group.
"Hmm?"
Just then, Krieg suddenly stopped, frowning and looking at a group of people walking out from the Forest on the right. Immediately, the nearly hundred people behind him picked up their respective Weapons and became Vigilant.
But as more and more people came out from the other side, their Expressions became difficult to look at.
No one expected to actually encounter a group of 'like-minded people'.
"Let's go!"
After the two sides confronted each other for a moment, due to the Rules that prohibited attacking within two hours, Krieg suppressed the impatience in his Heart, was the first to withdraw his Gaze full of Killing Intent, and turned to walk towards another Direction.
After they walked far away, the group opposite also put down the Blades, swords, and Muskets in their hands.
"Boss Sieg, that big guy is Krieg. Because of his innate Monstrous Strength, he can easily swing a one-ton heavy great Iron gun. He recently gained a little fame in the East Blue. Looking at the subordinates behind him, they should have thought the same thing as us!"
A middle-aged mountain bandit said in a low voice, looking at the backs of Krieg's group.
"Tch!"
"He's just a young kid! If we meet again next time, I'll chop off his Head with one Blade!" Sieg spat disdainfully.
"Let's go, we'll change Direction. We'll deal with them later!"
At the same time.
Just as most people started going Inland (on the island), on the western Beach, there were two Young People dressed as Swordsmen who still remained by the Seaside, even watching the transport Ship that brought them slowly sail away.
This aroused the curiosity of many Audience.
Giyu Tomioka gazed at the vast Sea Surface and said in a calm tone, "Muichiro, I think staying in this place is quite good. What do you think?"
Muichiro Tokito scanned the Beach and found there was only one automatically moving Transponder Snail nearby filming them. He immediately replied with a somewhat indifferent Attitude.
"The Vision is wide, plenty of water vapor, terrain is flat, and not many competitors. It is indeed a good place..."
"So that's it!"
The Audience watching the Live Broadcast suddenly realized, but were immediately amused by the cleverness of the two. Everyone was thinking of running Inland (on the island), so wouldn't the Beach on the Edge be even safer?
