With the strongest bloodline, it’s not too much to have more children, right?

The shaking ended, the smoke and dust cleared, revealing the arena that had already been ruined.

Ace stood on the ruins, his blood spilled onto the ground around him due to the force of the vibration, but he didn't seem to be hurt.

Cavendish fell in the rubble, half of his face blurred by blood, his long golden hair spread on the ground, and his eyes were lifeless.

The battle is over, the winner is Ace!

The arena was boiling again, and everyone was shocked by this shocking scene.

Ace standing in the sun is so dazzling, like a rising star.

"Swoosh! Roger's son, Newgate's devil fruit, interesting! So interesting!"

Kaido took a big gulp of wine and looked at Ace on the stage with shining eyes, as if he was a beast seeing his favorite prey, his pair of golden vertical pupils flashing with brilliance.

It was a big regret for him that he had never fought against Roger. Although he didn't know whether Ace's talent was as abnormal as Roger's, it was still good to be a substitute.

And he didn't enjoy his battle with Whitebeard to the fullest. Since Ace ate Newgate's devil fruit, it should be necessary to help him finish the unfinished battle, right?

"Brother Kaido, do you want to try to recruit Ace and get him to join the Beasts Pirates?" asked Jin from the side.

Hearing this, Kaido said, "No need. You can't dig him out. That guy named Cavendish is quite strong, so we can give it a try. And that guy named Drake, we must let him join us."

After saying that, Kaido took another sip of wine and turned his attention back to the arena.

Ace left the stage amid the audience's cheers, and Cavendish was carried away on a stretcher by two Happy Eggs.

After the two left, the ground of the arena, which had turned into ruins, began to reorganize and deform, and soon returned to its original state.

This isn't some high-tech thing; it's simply Gaia using her devil fruit abilities.

The venue returned to normal and the next game was about to begin, but the aftershocks of Ace's use of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's ability had not yet ended.

New World, Sphinx Island.

"Oh!"

The glass smashed to the ground, breaking into countless pieces and spilling the wine all over the floor.

Marco stared at the live broadcast in a daze, his pupils dilated, his mouth slightly open, and he was completely shocked.

"Dad's... Devil Fruit!"

After a brief moment of shock, Marco's eyes suddenly became moist and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Just then, a pair of pink little hands pulled his clothes.

"Marco, are you unhappy?"

The person speaking was a little girl. Marco had once helped her treat her mother for free, so she and Marco had a good relationship.

"Ah... I'm fine."

Marco came to his senses, half of his cheek burned with a blue flame, evaporating the tears that were shed, and he picked up the little girl.

"Thank you for your concern, Betty."

Little Betty sat on Marco's lap, pointed at the live broadcast screen and said in surprise: "Marco, that handsome older sister is on stage!"

The child's simple mind soothed Marco's complicated emotions.

Following the direction of the little girl's finger, a rare woman did appear on the screen, at least rarely seen in this martial arts tournament.

Marco was watching the live broadcast, but he was thinking about Ace in his mind.

Dad, your devil fruit has been inherited by a new person. He seems to be Roger's child, and he should not let the Tremor-Tremor Fruit be tarnished.

Just as he was thinking, the live game began.

arena.

Kuina's appearance immediately aroused cheers from the audience. As the only woman among the top 16, Kuina has the most fans.

After all, not only is she beautiful, but she also has a heroic air, which attracts not only men but also women.

"Kuina, come on!"

"Kuina, come on!"

"Kuina, come on!"

In the audience, Yamato and the other members of the Dream Expedition Team waved flags wildly and cheered loudly for Kuina.

Especially Yamato, her voice alone even drowned out the cheers of most of the audience.

Kuina on the stage felt a little unnatural, but also felt a sense of warmth.

This was her first time to participate in a martial arts tournament, and it was also her first step to becoming the world's greatest swordsman, so she attached great importance to this competition.

Soon, her opponent appeared.

A giant, a giant 22 meters tall.

The giant had long brown-black hair that reached his thighs, a brown-black beard, a metal helmet on his head, goggles on his eyes, and huge metal arm armor on his body.

The giant's name is Helding, and he is the leader of the New Giant Pirates.

Although he is seventy-eight years old now, the lifespan of giants is different from that of humans and is about three times that of humans. Therefore, the martial arts tournament has an age limit of ninety for giants.

The two men stood on the arena, and the huge difference in their body sizes gave people a strong visual impact.

Guina's height of 1.8 meters was like a bug in front of the 22-meter-tall Hailding, as if a casual slap could turn her into a meat patty.

The noise in the audience became much quieter. After all, no one wanted to see a beautiful girl lose so miserably.

Hailding crossed his arms, looked down at Kuina with a domineering look, and said in a dull voice.

"Give up, I don't fight with women."

As soon as these words were spoken, the air suddenly froze for a moment, and Hailding suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

"It's over, this big fool has angered Kuina." Yamato said in a compassionate tone.

The other members of the Dream Expedition Team also nodded in agreement. After spending so many years with Kuina, they all knew that what Kuina hated most was people using her gender as an excuse.

Sure enough, the next moment after Hailding finished speaking, Guina's body suddenly rushed out and appeared in front of Hailding in the blink of an eye.

Hailding's eyes met Guina's cold eyes, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"One-sword style: Climb the stairs!"

Kuina stepped on the void, and after several consecutive explosions, she was already in the air. A white light flashed, and the knife light slashed across Hailding's chest.

"Shh!"

After the white light, a line of blood appeared on Hailding's chest, running from his left waist to his right shoulder.

Hailding felt pain and punched Guina.

Kuina somersaulted nimbly onto Hailding's huge arm and rushed along the arm towards his head.

"One Sword Style: Swallow Tail Slash!"

Kuina turned into a flash of light and instantly came to Hailding's head. The Wado Ichimonji in her hand left a crescent-shaped scratch in the air.

After doing all this, Kuina landed lightly on the ground, danced a sword flower with the Wado Ichimonji in her hand, shook off the blood on the sword, and put it back into the sheath.

Then she left the arena without looking back.

"Bang!!!"

Hailding's eyes were lifeless, his left arm covering the back of his neck from which blood was gushing out, and his huge body knelt on the ground.
