Chapter 435 Trials
"Please get ready, everyone. The competition is about to begin!"
As Ronaldo's voice fell, the holographic projection changed again, and a huge number ten appeared in the middle of the venue.
"ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
……
"two!"
"one!"
"Game start!"
As the countdown ended, hundreds of contestants immediately rushed out like hunting leopards.
But although they look handsome when they rush forward, they still look funny when they fall.
Although a hundred times the gravity is not a big resistance, it is still very uncomfortable for people who have never been exposed to a gravity field.
Nearly fifty people fell down the moment they rushed out, and for a moment, the team on the gravity ladder was in chaos.
The width of the gravity ladder is only fifty meters. It cannot be said to be narrow, but it cannot accommodate everyone passing through at the same time.
For those who fall, there is only one outcome: being used as a stepping stone.
Before long, a long queue formed.
At the front, Thor turned into lightning and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
Gravity is a test that the Adrian family is most familiar with.
Immediately afterwards, the two muscular men, Gavin and Barrett, walked as if on flat ground under the influence of gravity, and could jump over dozens of steps with one leap.
Behind them, Rorschach ran with the members of Adrien's family.
Similarly, Katakuri brought members of the Charlotte family, Marco brought members of the Whitebeard Pirates, and King brought members of the Beasts Pirates.
On the other hand, on the navy side, Vice Admiral Gion was leading the team in the front, while Kuzan lagged behind, walking slowly.
The situation of the game was presented to the audience through holographic projection, and the venue was boiling again.
For a moment, shouts and screams resounded throughout the venue.
The first half of the race was very dull. The people at the front had no intention of taking any action. As long as they were in the top 128, it would be enough.
However, those contestants who were ranked in the top 100 were always worried because someone was chasing them relentlessly.
Finally, someone took action!
A pirate lost his balance when he stepped onto the thousandth step and fell directly onto the ladder.
Turning his head to look at the dense crowd behind him, his eyes became fierce and he pulled out the pistol from his waist.
Bang!
Under the man's surprised gaze, the bullet fell directly onto the ladder before it flew a few meters.
"how……"
While the man was surprised, the person behind him had already come to his side.
"Idiot, there's a thousand times the gravity here!"
The man stepped on the back of the fallen man, slowed down his movements, and moved forward with difficulty.
A thousand times gravity is not comparable to a hundred times gravity!
Halfway through the race, only about two hundred people were still moving forward.
Barrett and others were still walking at the front, while Kuzan was leisurely hanging at the end.
Inside the reception room.
"Could it be that Kuzan can't even make it into the top 128?" Borsalino asked uncertainly.
There's no way, no matter how you look at it, Kuzan doesn't seem to be exerting any strength.
"Don't worry, that guy will definitely exert his strength."
Garp is very confident in Kuzan, after all, he is his apprentice.
As expected, when they reached the 2,000th step, everyone had to slow down and move forward with difficulty, but Kuzan still walked at a leisurely pace.
Although he was only walking at a normal speed, it was much faster than those who were struggling to move forward under ten thousand times the gravity.
When the gravity reaches 10,000 times, many people can't even stand up and can only crawl forward.
For those who can still stand up, it is very difficult, and each step is extremely long.
The audience at the venue saw it closely and applauded these tenacious contestants.
Just then, the first contestant to reach the finish line appeared.
Sol!
Although ten thousand times the gravity was an obstacle for him, that was all.
As someone who grew up under the pressure of gravity, he just needs to adapt.
The holographic projection changed, and Thor's handsome and resolute face appeared. Many fan girls screamed at once.
Not long after, Barrett and Gavin also reached the finish line.
The two of them kept colliding with each other along the way, like two walls, blocking all the people behind them.
Soon after, Rorschach, Nyx, Shanks, Mihawk, Katakuri and others also arrived one after another.
It is worth mentioning that, except for the Kingdom of Adrian, other forces have more or less given up some people along the way.
There's no way around it. The rules don't prohibit fighting, but they do prohibit helping.
Ten thousand times the gravity is an insurmountable obstacle for most people, and even if there were more people, they would not be able to climb it.
In the following time, people from various major forces arrived at the destination one after another.
Half an hour later, only one spot remained.
Everyone looked at the ladder eagerly, curious about who the last person would be.
"Where is General Aokiji?"
Gion looked around, but there was no sign of Kuzan.
"Don't worry, Gion, General Kuzan will definitely come." Kake comforted.
After hearing this, Gion felt a little relieved.
Admiral Aokiji should... maybe... be very reliable, right?
Under everyone's gaze, the last person appeared at the end of the ladder.
Kuzan put his hands in his pockets, looking sleepy.
"Hey, everyone is here."
Kuzan raised his hand in greeting.
"General Qing Pheasant!"
Gion rushed out and pulled Kuzan back to the navy camp.
"Hey, hey, hey, Gion-chan, girls should be gentle."
Gion pretended not to hear and left with Kuzan.
The next moment, the broadcast sounded and Ronaldo read out the rules of the second round.
"Dear audience friends, the first round of the selection has ended. Five hundred and thirty-one contestants have competed for the top one hundred and twenty-eight.
Next is the second round, the knockout round!
One hundred and twenty-eight contestants competed one-on-one to narrow down the final sixty-four, then sixteen, and finally the top ten.
The competition will start tomorrow, and the venue will be where you are now, the Sky Arena!
Now, let's announce the match list for the first match!"
As Ronaldo finished speaking, the holographic projection on the Sky Arena and the holographic projection in the venue below began to change simultaneously.
The photos of the top 128 players began to scroll, and about ten seconds later, a list of matches appeared.
Most of the battles were unremarkable, as the roster was tampered with by Zell.
In order to allow all the strong players to enter the next round, most of the lists are battles between the strong and the weak, with a huge disparity in strength.
And among these sixty-four games, there were only two groups that Zell was interested in.
Doflamingo vs. Adrien Lane.
Jesus Bu vs. Adrian Jalen Green.
The two matches are evenly matched.
Zell is also looking forward to whether Ryan can defeat Doflamingo, the awakened devil fruit user.
What would a battle between two snipers be like?
