Chapter 609

Fortunately, she held on in time and stabilized her body, so she didn't lose her long sword.

But even so, she felt her arms go numb.

"Hmph! Be defeated!" Suleiman snorted coldly, and he kicked toward Rebecca's abdomen again.

Rebecca didn't show weakness and kicked out, but unfortunately, it was easily neutralized by Suleiman.

Suleiman grabbed Rebecca's right foot and took the opportunity to drag her to the ground.

Suleiman raised the long blade in his hand high, preparing to slash hard at Rebecca.

Cavendish suddenly appeared between the two of them and fell asleep directly.

"Cavendish, you guy look down on me too much; today I'll use your head as a stepping stone for my promotion to the finals!" Suleiman cursed angrily.

Suddenly, Cavendish's expression became ferocious and evil.

He slowly opened his eyes, revealing scarlet pupils, filled with slaughter and madness!

"You deserve to die!" Cavendish grinned, letting out an eerie and strange laugh: "You actually dare to kill me? I'll tear you to pieces!"

Suleiman felt a tremor in his heart upon hearing this.

Cavendish erupted with infinite murderous intent and cruelty, like a poisonous snake waiting to devour someone.

Cavendish's aura climbed rapidly.

The sword in his hand suddenly pierced into Suleiman's throat!

With a puchi sound, the sharp blade directly pierced through Suleiman's neck!

A hole the size of a bowl appeared on his neck!

Blood sprayed out, Suleiman's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

How could this be?

He actually lost to a guy who was sleeping?

"Ahhhhh!"

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"What did I see? How did that Cavendish suddenly wake up and then kill Suleiman?"

"Cavendish looks different!"

The audience off the stage was surprised; they couldn't imagine what had happened.

In another viewing stand, Lord Sabo, disguised as Lucy, frowned slightly: "I've long heard of the legend of Hakuba Cavendish; it seems it's true now!"

Cavendish has a dual personality!

One is the gentle, kind, and friendly noble image of the past, and the other is the murderous and tyrannical personality!

The noble image is called Cavendish, and the murderous and tyrannical personality is called Hakuba.

What's more exaggerated is that once converted into the Hakuba personality, Cavendish's swordsmanship will improve more than tenfold!

The most famous thing Hakuba Cavendish did was once single-handedly overturn an entire mercenary group, killing all the mercenaries under his sword.

"It seems he has completely converted to the Hakuba form!" Lord Sabo's gaze was complex, muttering to himself: "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!"

In the arena.

Hakuba laughed crazily: "Hahahaha! Majestic Cleave!!!"

He roared toward the sky, his body suddenly disappeared, leaving only a brilliant white light attacking all the martial artists on the ring.

Sounds of muffled thuds came, and all the martial artists on the ring were hit one after another.

Almost in an instant, all the martial artists fell to the ring.

After Hakuba did this, he continued to fall asleep on the stage.

"What exactly happened! Why did the martial artists on the Block D ring disappear in an instant?"

"Who took down those fallen martial artists? Who could do such a thing as instantly defeating so many martial artists?"

"..."

The referee also widened his eyes; they had all fallen, so who should the winner be counted as?

"Cough cough." At this time, a coughing sound rang out, and Rebecca crawled up from the ruins.

"What? The person who persisted to the end is actually Rebecca!?" The audience watching off the stage screamed in surprise.

"Unbelievable, she actually survived!"

"I don't accept it! Rebecca must have used some cheating method; she has the dirty bloodline of King Riku, how could she win!"

"That's right, this is unreasonable!!"

"This is an unfair competition, Rebecca must get out!"

The audience was filled with righteous indignation, all thinking this was cheating.

"Quiet, quiet!" The referee hurriedly stopped the audience's noise.

"Our Corrida Colosseum has always been known for fairness; even the worst criminals should be treated equally here! Rebecca relied on tenacious perseverance to persist to the end and defeated other martial artists, so I announce that Rebecca has won the championship."

After the referee finished speaking, he sent applause to Rebecca.

He had also watched Rebecca grow up all the way, and was very gratified to see the weak little girl gradually become a strong female warrior.

Although the audience off the stage was extremely dissatisfied, they couldn't change the result.

Rebecca stood on the ring and cried silently, her fists clenched tightly.

She had finally obtained the qualification to enter the finals; as long as she could obtain the 'Flame Burning Heaven Art', she would have the strength to resist Doflamingo!

Rebecca wiped the tears from her face and walked off the ring.

"Congratulations on obtaining the qualification to enter the finals." The referee patted Rebecca on the shoulder and encouraged her.

"Thank you!" Rebecca thanked him, her departing back appearing exceptionally lonely and desolate.

The audience off the stage was immersed in the shock just now, unwilling to disperse for a long time.

On the viewing stand, Bartolomeo also complained to Lord Sabo: "This little girl is really lucky, actually being able to dodge Hakuba's Majestic Cleave just now."

"Is it just luck? This little girl named Rebecca saw through the flaws in Hakuba's swordsmanship; otherwise, how could she have stood up?" Lord Sabo said lightly!

"Oh?" Bartolomeo said in surprise: "I didn't expect it, this little girl actually hid such a move?"

Rebecca, who walked off the ring, saw Lucy and excitedly rushed up.

"Lucy-san, I won! No, you are not Lucy-san, who are you? Why are you impersonating Lucy-san?" Rebecca asked in confusion.

Lord Sabo shook his head: "Sorry, you got it wrong, I am indeed Lucy!"

"I don't believe it!" Rebecca said firmly: "My intuition is very accurate, and your aura is different from Lucy-san's. Lucy-san doesn't have this cold taste, nor does he have this gloomy feeling on you."

Lord Sabo was slightly stunned: "You really are a sensitive little girl; I came to compete on behalf of Lucy, he has other things to do, so he can't participate in this competition."

Hearing Lord Sabo say this, Rebecca's face dimmed.

Not being able to share the joy in her heart with others made Rebecca very disappointed.

"But don't worry, I will help you, I am also Lucy's friend!" Lord Sabo patted her head.

"Also Rebecca, I have heard your story and know everything that happened in your Dressrosa; in this town that looks incomparably beautiful, countless darkness is hidden!"

Lord Sabo said seriously: "I hope you can cheer up as soon as possible!"

Rebecca nodded.

Lord Sabo also thought of the town where he grew up as a child, which was also like Dressrosa.

The rich squeezed the poor people dry in order to make their lives better.

The poor people wanted to resist but had no way, and could only survive by struggling.

This prosperity could not hide the filth and ugliness under that darkness.

Rebecca was no longer that pure little girl, her heart had long been riddled with holes in the darkness.

On the way to the City Lord's Mansion, Luffy, Zoro, and Kin'emon disguised themselves as puppets.

"Luffy, why do you look absent-minded?" Kin'emon asked in confusion.

"Hehe! I saw my brother again!" Luffy said with a grin.

The joy of reuniting with Lord Sabo lingered in Luffy's heart.

"Your brother, didn't Ace die two years ago? Luffy, are you sick?"

Although Zoro didn't want to bring up Luffy's sad past, since it related to the upcoming battle, he had to speak up.

Luffy looked dejected: "Zoro, don't bring up my sad past, okay? I have another brother, forget it! Let's not talk about it! Let's hurry and save Law."

Kin'emon and Zoro didn't pursue the matter further.

The three crossed several streets and finally arrived in front of the City Lord's Mansion of Dressrosa.
