One Piece: I am the Master of Black Magic

In the auditorium of the arena, Nami Sanji and Chopper in human form looked around curiously.

The arena is huge, and there are probably tens of thousands of spectators on site.In the center there is a circular arena sitting on the water.The sharp dorsal fins of betta fish in the water surface from time to time, which is inexplicably scary.

"If Nami, Sanji, and Luffy participate in the competition, their identities will be discovered soon if they use their powers!"

Chopper asked while stuffing marshmallows.

"He has been reminded of his ability to hide the fruit. However, there is little hope.

Nami spread her hands helplessly.

"Annie should have known about it for a long time. Since she said that Luffy can move freely, let's forget about it. I hope he can get the Shayaki Fruit smoothly!"

"Burn the fruit, Ace's relic..."

The three of them cast their eyes towards the ring in the middle of the arena, with a trace of regret flashing in their eyes.

The battle in Group A has begun. The field is in chaos, with sounds of fighting and screams.

The excited shouts of the audience on the stage became louder and louder, making people's eardrums hurt.

A purple figure sat down next to the three of them. Chopper turned his head and glanced, shocked.

"A...smile...oh no."

He immediately reached out to cover his mouth, not daring to turn his head and look at the man next to him.

"It's Chopper, you're here to watch the competition in the arena too."

Chopper's eyes widened. Sanji and Nami beside him also froze after seeing the smile, looking around cautiously for any suspicious persons.

Chopper said cautiously: "Mr. Yixiao, how did you recognize us?"

"you?"

"It seems your partner is here too."

Chopper was instantly frightened: "Mr. Yixiao, Annie said that she should pretend not to know you when she sees you! Your identity cannot be revealed!"

"Don't talk to me!"

Yixiao smiled nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, there are too many people here, no one will find us. If I weren't familiar with your scent, I really wouldn't be able to find you."

"Is that so?"

Chopper breathed a sigh of relief.

Nami and Sanji also greeted each other in a low voice with a smile: "Mr. One Smile, long time no see."

He nodded with a smile and said casually: "The results will be out soon."

Sure enough, the tall man wearing a paper bag on his head burst out with such force that he overturned the crowd.After the smoke and dust dissipated, he was the only person standing on the field.

The referee also blew the whistle at the right time, and the man's image was projected on the big screen. The winner of the Group A match had been decided.

"Amazing..."

Chopper stared blankly at the roaring man in the field.

Yixiao frowned, this breath was surprisingly familiar.

"Ah~"

The man roared wildly and tore the paper bag on his head, revealing a familiar face that often appeared in newspapers.

"that is not..."

"It's Badgers, the leader of the Blackbeard Pirates!"

"Is it the Blackbeard Pirates who recently ascended to the throne of the Four Emperors?"

"That's right! It's him. It was reported in the newspaper not long ago that the Blackbeard Pirates' territory centered on Honeycomb Island has doubled. They have recruited countless notorious pirates. The World Government has assessed the black Beard becomes the new Yonko!”

Someone exclaimed.

"Such a vicious pirate has come to participate in the competition. Lady Diamanti should be able to deal with him!"

"Of course, that's Lord Diamanti, the top leader of the Don Quixote family. How could he lose!"

"That's right! Lord Diamanti is the strongest!"

The contestants in the waiting area also recognized that face, and their high-spirited fighting spirit was extinguished.

"How can you defeat an opponent of this strength?"

"That's right, it's too strong!"

"Oh, if you can't beat me, then admit defeat as soon as possible. The burnt fruit is mine!"

"You can dream! It's up to you!"

The eyes of the man wearing a straw hat were dancing with angry fire: "Blackbeard Pirates!"

The man with a green-haired cockscomb looked at the familiar straw hat carefully, and the corners of his mouth raised higher as he looked at it.

Rubbing the blood on the back of his hand on his pants, he stepped forward and wanted to reach out and pat the man's shoulder, but unexpectedly, the man in front of him quickly reacted and clamped his arm with his backhand.

"Hey, hey, hey! It hurts, it hurts!"

The cockscomb head's index and middle fingers were clasped together. Just as he was about to activate his fruit ability, he was interrupted loudly by the staff maintaining order.

"Fighting is prohibited before the competition, and those who violate the rules will be disqualified!"

"why is it you again!"

The staff member walked up to the two of them and looked at Luffy dissatisfied.

He had just had some friction with a strong man, and the man who attacked him first was knocked down by him. Because he was passive in defense, he was lucky enough not to be disqualified.Unexpectedly, not long after this, trouble started again.

Luffy had already loosened his grip on Cockscomb Head, and turned around with a puzzled expression to look at the man who wanted to sneak attack him.

"Who are you? Why did you attack me?"

"Huh? Is what he said true?"

The staff frowned and looked at the cockscomb head.

"I didn't want to make a sneak attack. I just wanted to say hello to him. He was too nervous and that caused the misunderstanding. After all, we are the same people! Right!"

The cockscomb head smiled and put his arm around Luffy's shoulders, looking like the two brothers were getting along well.

Luffy looked confused. Seeing that he didn't refute, the staff couldn't say anything more, so they left after a few warnings.

People around looked at them and whispered: "It's him! The supernova who debuted a year ago, the cannibal known as the madman, Bartolomeo!"

"Ranked first on the 'real-time ranking of pirates who most want to disappear', he is a pirate with an extremely bad character and cruelty!"

"Yes, I heard that he once dressed many pirates in skewers and made a video of the scene to spread. He also bombarded and burned civilians wantonly. His reputation is as bad as that of the Yonko!"

"Is this guy also here for the Shao Shao Fruit?"

"The pirate has more power, and only the civilians will suffer! He must not be allowed to win!"

The tall man with the crown on his head kept pumping his fists and rubbing the air. The bald strategist Da Gama beside him looked at Bartolomeo's back and spoke in a low voice.

"I see!"

Bartolomeo glanced sarcastically at those who spoke ill of him. If he hadn't been disqualified if he took action now, he would have pulled out their tongues and fed them to the fishes.

"Hey! Are you a fan of the Straw Hat Pirates too?"

He hugged Luffy excitedly, with a look like 'I've seen through this already'.

"what?"

Luffy was puzzled.

"A fan of the Straw Hat Pirates? I'm not!"

"You still want to lie to me! You even wear Luffy-senpai's Straw Hat peripherals all the time! You must be a die-hard fan!"

"We're on the same page! Me too!"

He took out an avatar badge from his pocket and pinned it carefully on his chest.

"Look! It's Luffy-senpai's avatar badge! I have the avatar badges of every member of the Straw Hat Pirates!"

The tone is full of pride.

"Huh? So interesting!"

The confused Luffy looked at his own portrait on his chest. Although he didn't understand the plot at the moment, it didn't stop him from coveting the cute badge.

"The second game is about to begin, contestants from Group B please enter!"

The announcement of the start of the game came over the radio, and Bartolomeo patted Luffy on the shoulder: "Which team are you in?"

"Group C."

"Great! Although we are of the same mind, if we are in the same group, I will not show mercy. That is the fruit of Luffy-senpai's brother, and I must get it!"

"I want to dedicate it to Luffy-senpai. When the time comes, Luffy-senpai will definitely be very moved!"

An unnatural blush appeared on his face, and he didn't know what he was imagining in his mind.

"Dedicate it to me?"

Luffy pointed at himself in confusion.

"You're thinking about farting!"

Bartolomeo woke up instantly and slapped Luffy on the shoulder.

"I'm going to play! You have to work hard! Don't die too fast! If you can win in Group C, we can still meet in the finals!"

After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets, turned around gracefully, and walked toward the ring in a huff.

Luffy looked at his back and scratched his head.

"What an interesting person!"
