Chapter 445: Test of Strength
"If you enter the top 30, you can become a Onimusha.
Then you can join the Crimson Legion!"
Rossinandi thought so while filling out the information.
"It seems that I have to be serious and get a spot as a ghost warrior, so that I can go undercover better and get more information..."
……
the other side,
Long was walking on the street and saw everyone excitedly talking about the Onimusha selection competition.
The dragon is curious.
Soon, he noticed people gathered around the bulletin board in front.
He stood behind the crowd, looking at the notice:
"I see, as long as you enter the top 30 in this Onimusha selection contest, you can become an Onimusha.
I just don't know what this Onimusha is...
It looks very unusual.”
.........
After the announcement of the competition registration,
The kingdom's staff began to get busy in a huge arena.
This open-air arena is in an irregular circular shape, with stepped seats around it that can accommodate many people.
This arena was specially built for the Onimusha selection competition.
……
In the registration of the strong ones,
Under everyone's expectation,
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Today marks the opening day of the Onimusha selection competition!
The whole country is on holiday, the whole country is bustling!
Everyone came out of their homes early in the morning and crowded on the street towards the arena.
Long was also in the queue to buy tickets in front of the arena.
"Hello sir, please buy your ticket." A staff member said with a smile.
Long hesitated for a moment, then pointed at the people in front who could enter the stadium without buying tickets: "Why don't they need to buy tickets?"
“Because they are from our country, they don’t have to pay to watch the games.
If you want to go in and watch the game, please spend 3000 Baileys to buy a ticket before you can go in."
The staff member smiled and raised the stack of tickets in his hand.
"Hey, uncle, if you don't want to watch the game, please move aside!"
The people queuing behind shouted to Long impatiently, as they were afraid that if they arrived too late the seats would be taken.
Seeing this, Long could only quickly take out 3000 Baileys from his pocket and give them to the staff, and finally the staff handed him a ticket.
Long walked into one of the many entrances to the arena with his ticket in hand.
It's very spacious inside.
The scale is huge.
Divided into many areas.
Competition area, rest area, player area, test square, etc.
Long first followed the instructions on the ticket and came to the test square.
Here you can see a large number of contestants in the front participating in the strength test.
This is a strength test required for participating in the competition.
As long as your strength meets the requirements, you can participate in the official competition.
Of course, some people with special abilities can skip this step and go directly to the staff to explain the situation, then they will receive special treatment.
After all, you can't let some auxiliary devil fruit users participate in the battle, right?
Long and the spectators stood on the outskirts of the open-air square, watching the contestants in the square participating in the strength test.
……
I saw a contestant coming to the strange strength testing machine.
In front of him was a square spring-loaded board.
The fighter warmed up by throwing several quick punches in the air.
Afterwards, his eyes became serious, and a bright black armament color condensed on one of his fists.
After accumulating strength for a while, he swiftly punched down at the elastic test board!
"Boom!"
The spring panel absorbed the athlete's force and quickly transmitted it to the high instrument behind it.
The heavy iron block on the instrument was affected by this force and suddenly rose up, then stopped after reaching a certain height.
The panel on the machine displayed three numbers: "380."
"Buck, 380 points, excellent!"
The staff recorded the player's results.
"hey-hey,"
Seeing that I have achieved excellent results,
Buck also proudly raised his fist and wiped his nose.
Under the guidance of the staff, we left the test square and headed towards the contestant area at the back.
"I see. By attacking the elastic panel, the force is absorbed and then transferred to the instrument.
That’s really interesting.”
Long, who was watching from the outside, muttered.
Soon, after each contestant was tested, it was the turn of Rossinanti in the team.
"I want to ask, can I use the power of a devil fruit?"
Rossinanti said to the staff who was recording the results.
The staff smiled and said, "No,
You can only use your own strength.
Of course, if you have a strong or special devil fruit power, you can show it and pass the level directly."
Rosinante: “I see.”
Are there any special privileges for Devil Fruit users?
Rossinante came to the strength testing machine with a layer of black armed color wrapped around his right hand.
After accumulating strength, Rossinanti threw a punch fiercely at the hit panel!
"Boom!"
A louder voice than the previous contestant spread across the field.
After receiving the power from Rocinante, the iron block on the machine suddenly soared up to the top!
Just one step away from touching the head!
"So...so strong!"
The contestants queuing behind him opened their eyes wide and saw the number 740 appearing on the display screen of the machine!
This should be the highest score among the test contestants today.
“740 points, superb!
Congratulations, you passed the test, please go over there.
It seems that you have a great chance of becoming a Onimusha." The staff also looked at the score on the display screen in surprise.
There is only one person with such a high score today.
"hey-hey……"
Rossinanti scratched his head, grinned slightly, and, under the guidance of the staff, headed towards the contestants' area.
“What an amazing guy, his armament strength is very high.
This person is already very powerful. If he could become a ghost warrior, I wonder how powerful he would be."
"Sweating King," Long muttered in a low voice with sweat on his forehead among the crowd.
It would be nice if their revolutionary army also had such a strong man, alas...
The strong men they currently have are still a little weak.
Next, the contestants began to complete the test one after another.
Players who pass the test will enter the player area.
Players who fail the test can only choose to leave through another channel.
It seems that I can only go outside and buy a ticket and be a spectator.
……
"Haha, I've been waiting in line for so long, and it's finally my turn!"
A tall, muscular and stylish Megalodon man appeared in front of the attack panel with a strange laugh.
His nose is long and pointed, with jagged edges on both sides.
The person who came was Aaron!
He also signed up for the Onimusha selection competition!
When Aaron came to the machine,
I have already started rolling up my sleeves.
Move your right arm and twist your neck.
He looked eager to try.
"Damn Jinbei, he always comes to stop me from gaining the power of the Onimusha!
This time I have cultivated the Armament Haki!
If I meet you in the competition, I will beat you, the damn blue fat guy, even fatter!
Scared haha! "
Arlong felt proud of the Armament Haki that he had cultivated with great effort, but at the same time, he was gritting his teeth at Jinbei in his heart.
