Chapter 2744 Arlong and his gang confront the 'Black Bulls'!
Just like Crocodile had his eye on Daz, Gardino, and Absalom.
This highly anticipated top 100 competition.
It is also a large-scale talent recruitment event held every four years under the rule of world governments.
All sorts of forces, companies, chambers of commerce, underground organizations, and even various official departments of the world government will take this opportunity to secretly observe, search for, and contact those contestants they have their eyes on.
Therefore, for many participants, even if they ultimately fail to make it into the 'top 100', it is still a great achievement.
As long as you perform well enough in the previous 'Reincarnation Paradise' and demonstrate your unique abilities and irreplaceable value.
There is also a very high probability that various forces will extend olive branches to them.
Find a job with good prospects.
It was afternoon.
The second round of matches, which were played simultaneously in fifty matches, has successfully concluded.
As the deafening cheers gradually subsided.
Hundreds of thousands of spectators left the venue one after another.
As the sun sets, Duel City once again becomes bustling and lively.
Having just suffered a crushing defeat to Konan on the field and having just received treatment in the emergency room, Hody Jones walked out of the player-only passage of the Multiverse Arena with a gloomy expression.
Behind him are Icarus Musi and Leopard, who also participated in the second round and won successfully.
Meanwhile, off the field.
Arlong, Tos, Jeo, Damo, and other merfolk companions had been waiting for a long time.
However, Hody Jones showed no joy in the welcome he received from his compatriots.
His attitude was extremely cold, and he barely responded to the concern shown by others.
They couldn't even be bothered to lift their eyelids.
He simply exhaled a heavy breath from his nostrils and walked straight ahead.
His gaze swept over Ah Long, who was standing at the very front.
That indifference instantly transformed into almost undisguised contempt and disgust.
In Hody Jones's eyes today.
Ah Long, the man he once regarded as his idol.
The halo has long since shattered.
For three consecutive years, Ah Long failed to make it into the top 100.
Every time, they are eliminated during the points-based competition stage, like trash being swept away and cleared out.
They have completely degenerated into empty shells and useless people.
In this starfish world where strength reigns supreme and the strong prey on the weak.
The weak—even if they were once the boss—don't deserve my respect.
He has already planned to ask the other party to give up the position of team leader after the competition ends.
Ah Long is not a slow-witted person.
He keenly noticed the change in Hody Jones's attitude, and the scorn in his eyes that stung his pride.
"What kind of look is that?"
"Hody!"
Veins bulged on Ah Long's forehead, and his hands, hanging by his sides, clenched tightly, his knuckles cracking.
He was already feeling frustrated and annoyed because he was eliminated by some human brat.
He was being looked down upon by his own underlings.
Ah Long's anger instantly surged to the top of his head.
"Humph."
Hody Jones stopped, turned his head, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"A guy who can't even get past the qualifiers."
"What right do you have to yell at me here?"
"Ah Long, face reality, don't take yourself too seriously."
"You bastard! What did you say?!"
Ah Long's eyes were wide open in anger, his shark-like teeth grinding together, and his whole body exuded a murderous aura.
The two immediately became tense, as if they would break out into a fight in this busy place at any moment.
The other merfolk around them looked at each other, all silent and trembling, none daring to interrupt.
The situation was on the verge of spiraling out of control.
Hammond, the moray eel man who acts as the 'team lubricant,' quickly stepped forward.
He had slightly spiky orange-red curly hair and a small, comical mustache on his chin.
His attire resembled that of a complete street thug.
At this moment, however, his face was plastered with a fawning smile.
"Hamon hamon~"
Hammond let out his distinctive, slightly awkward laugh.
He spread his arms and stood between the two, trying to ease the tense atmosphere that seemed ready to explode at any moment.
"Please don't be like this, we're all compatriots, why bother?"
"It's normal to win and lose in a game, and Hordy is also in a bad mood."
"How about we find a pub and have a few drinks?"
"Take a good rest!"
Aaron stared intently at Hody, ultimately suppressing his urge to attack.
"Hmph, you want to defy your superiors? Then wait until the tournament is over and find a duel arena to try your luck."
"I'll show you that being in the 'top 100' doesn't mean you're better than me."
After saying that, Ah Long snorted coldly and turned around.
Hody Jones also withdrew his provocative gaze.
Although he still didn't like it, he didn't say anything in response.
He still harbored some lingering fear of Ah Long.
The group of mermen maintained an eerie silence and a tense atmosphere.
I strode toward the brightly lit commercial district in the heart of Duel City.
However, at the back of the line, the blue-circled octopus fish-man Leopard Zang didn't care about any of this.
His eight tentacles swayed freely, his left hand holding a knife and his right hand holding a smartphone.
Fingers flew across the screen.
He was replying to messages through the 'OP' chat software.
The other person's contact name is 'Kakuzu'.
Even before that brief exchange and conversation.
Leopard's heart underwent a complete transformation.
The other party demonstrated strength and a pragmatic approach of acting purely for money.
This deeply moved the fish-man swordsman who was addicted to alcohol and money.
Looking at Aaron's back as he forced himself to maintain his composure, and then at Hody Jones's arrogant profile.
Leopard Hidden shook his head inwardly.
Following this group of guys who are only good at bullying their own kind and have a narrow view of the world.
They will never become rich.
They might not even be able to afford to buy alcohol in the end.
"I'll withdraw as soon as this competition ends."
Leopard silently made his decision.
He had had enough of their hopeless 'racial grand schemes'.
He wants to team up with Kakuzu to become bounty hunters.
Make lots of money, hunt down criminals, live a life of freedom.
The fishman adventurers, each with their own ulterior motives, wandered through the bustling streets.
The surrounding area was filled with tourists and duelists discussing the top 100 tournament.
Exciting battle highlights are constantly being replayed on various screens.
Not long after.
As they approached the bustling intersection, they were preparing to turn onto the street leading to the tavern.
Another group, with a completely different aura, a team of men and women, bumped into them head-on.
They all wore black cloaks printed with golden bull heads.
But everyone's drawing style is different.
There was a middle-aged man with a cigarette in his mouth and a fierce look on his face, and a witch dressed in revealing clothes.
There were delinquent teenagers wearing sunglasses, and young human girls.
Ah Long's eyes, which were originally filled with gloom, suddenly contracted, locking onto the most conspicuous, shortest, yet most hated gray-haired figure.
That little brat who's loudly complaining that he's hungry.
It was Asta who used the black greatsword to eliminate him, along with his dignity, from the 'Paradise of Reincarnation'.
The shameful memories came flooding back like a tidal wave.
Last time it was Qin Su, and this time I've encountered another one.
As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet, and old and new grudges ignited Ah Long's rationality.
"Damn brat!"
Ah Long suddenly let out a low growl, his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins, brimming with undisguised malice and murderous intent.
His tall figure was like a blue wall.
They directly blocked the path of the noisy 'Black Bulls' and Yuno's group, who were preparing to have a meal together.
"Ok?"
Asta stopped and looked up blankly.
As Aron moved, the fishmen behind him, including Tos, Jeo, Damo, and Mushi, followed with fierce expressions, just like sharks that had smelled blood.
They quickly spread out, forming a semi-encirclement to stop Yomi, Asta, Noel, Lack, Magna, Goshu, Banatha, Gray, Zola, Finlar, Gordon, and others.
