One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

Chapter 282 Lion Duel Arena

The Lion Arena is somewhat similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum.

The circular duel arena was covered with dust and dirt, and there were several half-dead trees. The perennial dust made people feel as if they were in an ancient battlefield.

All around, towering walls separate the audience seats from the duel area. Twelve pillars support the entire periphery of the arena. The outer layer of the arena, which is a regular dodecagon, is made of ochre bricks and stones, giving people a sense of historical vicissitudes.

The inner layer of the wall is made of fine iron and is unbreakable.

As soon as everyone stepped into the arena, a wild and bloody smell unique to this place hit them in the face. The roars and screams of the soldiers on the battlefield, the shouts and curses from the audience, and the roaring of the war drums around them all sounded one after another, all together playing the warriors' triumphant song!

"kill!"

"That's it, Mr. Battle Axe. Use the axe in your hand to chop the bastard in half."

"No, you can't lose. I've invested all my income for half a year into this, you bastard..."

"..."

The roars like gamblers and the onlookers who were eager to watch the fun made Carsen frown. The tower soldier didn't like the atmosphere here.

However, considering that the Colosseum was not built in Marinford, any consequences would be borne by the Lion Kingdom, so I didn't think too much about it.

Then, Manhattan led everyone to the highest point of the audience seats in the Colosseum, which is the so-called supreme seat.

Along the way, Manhart's identity discouraged countless inquiries. The moment the soldiers saw Manhart, the words that were about to be interrogated turned into respectful greetings.

Here, only the former high-ranking members of the Golden Lion Pirates or distinguished guests from the outside world are qualified to use it. No matter which one it is, they cannot afford to offend.

Just as several people took their seats, the battle in the arena had already been decided.

"Mr. Tomahawk - wins!"

Mr. Tomahawk, the big, burly guy with the giant axe, just used the sharp axe blade to cut his opponent into three pieces.

"The next one to appear is the Tiger King - Jacket!"

Before the host's voice fell, the atmosphere of the entire arena was instantly ignited. Countless pirates and merchants passing by raised their hands high, and their wide eyes burst into a glow of enthusiasm and expectation.

Tiger King - Jacket, former captain of the second squad of the Golden Lion Pirates and the user of the Sabretooth Tiger Fruit.

The powerful two-color domineering, the top ancient devil fruit and more than ten years of fighting have made Mr. Tiger King firmly sit in the third seat of the Golden Lion Pirates and become the king of tigers roaring throughout the New World.

"Roar!"

The roar of the wild beast echoed throughout the arena. In the dust, a huge saber-toothed tiger slowly walked over and transformed into a human form in the dust.

His bulging muscles are particularly eye-catching, almost covering his entire body. His five-meter height and extremely strong body give people a feeling of being invincible.

"Dang, Dang!"

In Jacket's hands, the two iron claws collided lightly, and the crisp sound was like the death song, which made people shudder.

With the appearance of Jacket, the originally arrogant Mr. Axe instantly became fully prepared, bending forward slightly, holding the axe handle tightly with both hands, and staring at the legendary Axe King with bloodshot eyes.

"Master Tiger King, come and fight me!"

Different from the previous battle, Mr. Tomahawk and Jacket are both members of the Lion Kingdom, so naturally they won't fight a life or death battle like just now.

There was no danger to his life, and he could challenge the legendary Tiger King Jacket. This made Mr. Tomahawk tremble with excitement, and the rising fighting spirit and unexpected surprise had suppressed the instinctive fear of his body.

"Good boy, that's how it should be!"

Jacket nodded in satisfaction, then twisted his waist, exerted force with his legs, and leaped up, pouncing on his prey like a hunting tiger.

"Tigers come down the mountain!"

"Come on, Jacket! Tomahawk Bluff!"

Seeing the dense, dark aura on Jacket's steel claws, Mr. Tomahawk knew that Jacket had become serious.

"Asshole, even though you are strong, I am not bad either!"

"I am Mr. Battle Axe!"

Mr. Tomahawk held the tomahawk horizontally in his hand, then he exerted force with both arms, swung the tomahawk and smashed it hard at Jacket. The domineering aura wrapped around the axe blade was frightening.

The next moment, the battle axe collided with the steel claws, and the violent collision and biting sparked countless sparks.

"Damn it, I won't fail like this!"

Feeling the increasing force on the axe handle, veins popped up on Mr. Tomahawk's temples, his facial expression gradually got out of control, and he mobilized all his body's strength to press on the axe handle.

"I can't lose miserably in the first round!"

Listening to Mr. Tomahawk's roars, Jacket's face was calm, but the strength of his arms continued to increase, and his steel claws were slowly pressing down, breaking through Mr. Tomahawk's defense bit by bit.

"Ahhh!"

With a roar, Mr. Tomahawk used his right hand as the axis and pushed the axe handle hard with his left hand. The axe handle was swung up like a stick, and then Jacket's own strength hit Jacket hard.

The long-handled battle axe has enough force in the handle to split open boulders, and with the blessing of the Armament Haki, it is also a force that cannot be ignored.

Feeling the whistling wind, Jacket leaned back and avoided the sweep of the axe handle just in time, and Mr. Tomahawk took the opportunity to deflect Jacket's steel claws and jumped backwards.

"Lord Tiger King is nothing but this!"

"Very good, come again, kid!"

After the fight ended in a draw, Mr. Tomahawk gained confidence and swung his tomahawk towards Jacket.

Jacket also wanted to give the young man some advice, so he simply raised his steel claws to continuously resist Jacket's attacks, increasing his strength little by little while resisting, using the battle to inspire Mr. Tomahawk on how to mobilize his strength.

Jacket's fighting method is not good at head-on collisions, but he uses the speed of a saber-toothed tiger, his ghostly figure, and the unique properties of his steel claws to surprise and pull.

Like a ghost on the battlefield, with his superb body skills, wherever Jacket goes, there are often corpses everywhere. The deep blood marks on his neck are as if torn by the sharp claws of a tiger, which is very creepy.

Seeing that the game was almost over, Jacket moved and instantly came behind Mr. Tomahawk. In front of Mr. Tomahawk's horrified eyes, he kicked Mr. Tomahawk in the back, knocking him flying and putting him into a coma.

"Mr. Tiger King is mighty!"

"Long live the Tiger King!"

……

After doing all this, Jacket faced the audience, raised his arms high, and showed off his strong physique and invincible strength, enjoying the climax and cheers of everyone's attention.

Before the host made the announcement, the audience burst into applause, and the countless cheers made Jacket feel like he was floating on air.
