Chapter 287 Sabo
Inside the yellow brick arena lounge.

"Rebecca?"

Noticing her abnormality, Luffy stretched his neck and moved closer, tilting his head in confusion, "Hey, why are you crying?"

".ah!"

"fine!"

Rebecca took two steps back in shock and quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears that had accidentally flowed.

"I'm fine. Sorry."

"Now that I think about it, I was too self-righteous. I actually wanted to win the championship in an arena full of top players." Rebecca forced a smile.

"So you want to give up? You can't win anyway."

Zoro suddenly spoke, his tone calm, just like his eyes without any emotion.

"I do not want."

Rebecca subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword and said firmly: "I am a sword fighter. I will not give in even if my opponent is you."

"Ah, come on, but don't expect me to show mercy."

Zoro chuckled, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He believes that true strength cannot be achieved with just one devil fruit.

If you don't have an indomitable heart, you won't be able to control the sword no matter how sharp it is in your hand.

"She is just a reviled princess of a fallen country, what nice words are you saying?"

Unfriendly voices came from the crowd in the corner.

The three of them looked over.

"Who is speaking!"

Luffy angrily yelled at the crowd, "Asshole! Get out here now, or I'll beat you to the ground!"

Perhaps the other side didn't want to cause trouble before the game, and there was no more sound from the crowd.

Luffy strode forward angrily.

But Rebecca stopped him by holding his hand, "Forget it Lucy, if you cause trouble you'll be disqualified from the competition."

"Huh? I don't care about that kind of thing. I'm not participating in the competition just for the devil fruit anyway."

Luffy pointed at the crowd with snorting, and shouted, "Listen to me, bastards! Rebecca is my friend, and I will never forgive you if you dare to say anything bad about her!"

"What's the fuss about?"

"Keep quiet!"

Two guards were attracted by the noise, and at this moment, a dark shadow flew out from the crowd.

boom!
A big curly-haired man fell to the ground, and when his figure could be seen clearly, his face and nose were bruised.

Immediately afterwards, a blond man in a formal suit came out, wearing a mask covering half of his face. He came in front of the guard and said with a smile:

"This guy took the initiative to provoke me. According to the rules, he should be expelled."

The two soldiers looked at each other, and no one stood up to say anything. Seeing that the man who was knocked unconscious was a contestant from outside, they didn't say anything and just carried him away.

"Oh, it's that bastard. Thank you." Luffy smiled and waved to express his gratitude.

"You are welcome."

Sabo waved his hand and smiled, then looked at Rebecca, "Are you the princess of this country? I happen to be from Division D, so please go easy on me later."

"Thank you for your help. I should be the one asking for your guidance." Rebecca bowed slightly.

"See you later then."

They just met briefly and Sabo left without staying for long.

Turn around in an instant.

Luffy looked at the steel pipe on the other person's back and suddenly froze in place.

In a trance, a figure emerged and overlapped with the figure in front of me.

"That guy is quite polite."

Zoro watched him walk away, turned around to look at Luffy, and slapped him on the back of the head.
"Hey, what are you daydreaming about? Get ready, it's almost your turn."

"Oh, oh."

Luffy came back to his senses and scratched his head in embarrassment, "I recognized the wrong person just now, I'm leaving now."

"Come on, Lucy." Rebecca smiled and nodded.

Zoro waved his hand nonchalantly, muttering in dissatisfaction, "Where did Reiner go? He must have lost his way, tsk."

The small storm just passed.

The staff worked quickly and set up a new arena in no time. Luffy, wearing a golden helmet, went there under the guidance of the staff.

The players who lost the previous game also returned to the lounge, an empty corridor.

"Why did you want to be in the spotlight just now, idiot? The other party is in the spotlight and is rumored to be the Straw Hat Boy who can cause the most trouble."

The short brown-haired girl yelled angrily: "Don't forget our current situation. What if our identity is exposed? There is a general in the arena!"

"Okay, Kerla, it's okay." Sabo rubbed the girl's head and smiled gently:

"Besides, one of our goals this time is to liberate Dressrosa. Wouldn't it be nice to meet the princess here in advance?"

"What do you mean it's all right? Stop making excuses, asshole!"

"And take your stinky claws away!" Kerla didn't buy the idea of being killed by patting the head, and she crossed her arms and puffed up her face.

Sabo smiled awkwardly and sat down on a rock.

It wasn't my intention to make the move just now.

He didn't know why, but when he saw Luffy looking so angry, he wanted to help him.

It seems like I should pamper the other person instinctively.

"It's really weird."

Sabo regained his serious expression and looked at Kerla again, "What is the current situation on the island?"

"On the navy side, besides Green Bull in the arena, there is also Fujitora who is missing, and there are also many generals from the headquarters."

Kerla smoothed her skirt and squatted down beside Sabo, "White Snake Smoker, Peach Rabbit Gion, and Tea Pig Kake are all among them."

"They sent out two generals. I'm afraid they are not just here for the Floating Fruit. I'm afraid our actions have been discovered."

Sabo stroked his chin and thought for a moment before he spoke: "How is our gathering going?"

"Captain Ivan the Grand Line Army, Captain Mori the Western Army, and Captain Crow the Northern Army have all arrived," Kerla replied.

"The situation is still not optimistic. It's a bit difficult to use this to fight against the navy, not to mention that we have to deal with the Don Quixote family at the same time."

Sabo frowned slightly. The force dispatched by the navy was beyond expectations. They were definitely not here just for the Float-Float Fruit.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the fact that Fujitora's whereabouts cannot be controlled. He has not dealt with these two new admirals yet and has no understanding of their style of doing things.

"There are currently two groups of pirates on the island that are worth noting."

Kerla then reminded: "They are the Straw Hat Pirates you just met, and the news just received from the people on the northern coastline that the new sea emperor Ace and his group have landed."

"Entei Ace, they should be trying to seize Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit."

After a brief thought, Sabo had a rough plan of action in mind and ordered:
"Leave the exploration mission to Molly, and let Crow hold off on surveillance for now. The navy is not here just for us this time."

"Everyone, hide first. We can take action after the firepower is transferred to the pirates. If we are entangled by Whitebeard and his gang, even the admiral of the navy will not be able to escape easily."

"I see. I'll go inform everyone first."

Kerla nodded heavily, stood up and said: "Be careful, Admiral Green Bull and Black Snake Reiner are unfathomable in strength, don't force yourself."

"Don't worry, our main task is to liberate Dressrosa. We won't force the Float-Float Fruit in such a chaotic situation." Sabo smiled.

"Well, then I'm leaving."

"Be careful."

"You too."

Not until Kerla walked away did Sabo's face darken, and he spoke coldly to the shadow on the ground that did not leave with Kerla.

"What is your purpose, Black Snake Reiner?"
