One Piece: The World King Who Emerged from the White Town

But Xiao Jie was still gritting his teeth and persevering, even though his body had begun to tremble and his face had turned pale, his mouth was still slightly open and closed.

If someone is proficient in lip reading, it wouldn't be hard to tell that he is silently counting.

"7, 8...9..."

Outside, the audience was already starting to get restless.

From the very beginning of the battle, the arena was plunged into a bizarre situation.

"Huh? What on earth happened?"

"Abel appeared behind Xiao Jie in an instant at a speed that the camera could hardly capture, but he did not launch an attack."

"But Xiao Jie seemed to be frightened by something, and stood there frozen, not moving at all."

"Could something have happened that we can't understand?"

The host spoke loudly to ease the awkwardness of the situation.

A dozen seconds had already passed, which surprised Abel.

Even Hisoka can hardly withstand his Conqueror's Haki now, it's unexpected that this guy can hold out for so long.

As expected of the protagonist, his will is strong enough to be easily broken.

"How about this then?"

Abel's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed all of his Conqueror's Haki, pressing it down on Gon.

At the same time, Xiao Jie, who could almost feel the monsters roaming around him, suddenly discovered that the monsters had all suddenly fled for some unknown reason.

Although he couldn't see it, he could strangely sense it.

Is it over? This nightmare...

Xiao Jie had just relaxed a little when he suddenly started trembling all over.

I managed to lift my head and 'saw' an enormous eye slowly opening in the darkness.

It is the sun, the moon, the ruler... the god of this dark world!

But gods should not be looked at directly!

After just one 'eye contact', Xiao Jie's sanity plummeted, he let out an extremely painful groan, and then collapsed to the ground.

"It's over. Let's announce the results."

Abel glanced down at the unconscious Gon, then spoke to the referee standing not far away.

This lesson should be one that the other person remembers for a lifetime.

The referee first checked on Xiao Jie's condition and determined that he was unlikely to wake up in the short term, so he directly declared Abel the winner.

Then the whole place erupted in an uproar!

The audience doesn't understand it.

What happened? How did Xiao Jie fall to the ground and the match end like that?

From the start to the end of the battle, was it even 20 seconds?

This is just too much of a rip-off.

Anyone who paid for a ticket and saw this kind of thing would probably be so angry that they'd want a refund.

But then I thought about how I had placed a bet beforehand, and besides the ticket price, I could make a small profit, so I just complained a few times and let it go.

After all, they had already prepared themselves mentally before they came.

The staff at Sky Arena were also helpless; the difference in strength was too great, what could they do?

We can only try to appease everyone by giving out small gifts or something similar.

As for a refund?

Excuse me, our ticket counter is here, but the refund counter is in the NGL Autonomous Country.

The last person who went to get a refund for their ticket still hasn't learned how to ride a horse.

The NGL Autonomous Kingdom prioritizes the protection of nature, abandoning mechanical civilization; its primary mode of transportation is the horse…

"Xiaojie!"

What did you do to him?!

Killua appeared on the arena from nowhere, radiating a dangerous aura, and questioned Abel.

It seems that if he can't get the answer he wants, he'll take action immediately.

Because of his concern for Gon, Killua temporarily forgot his fear and broke free from the mental constraint of 'never engaging in a battle he was not confident of winning'.

"Go ask him yourself after he wakes up."

"I'm much more interested in you than in someone who doesn't recognize their own strength."

"The move you used to kill that red-skinned native was an assassination technique from the Zoldyck family, wasn't it?"

"How about we try to dig out my heart and take a look? Maybe it's different from a normal person's."

Abel smiled calmly and extended an invitation to Killua.

Chapter 389 The Heart Source Stream is all old 6!

Provoked, Killua took a step forward, only to be stopped by Yun Gu, who arrived just in time.

How could he not be there for such an important event as Xiao Jie's battle against Abel?

"Killua, calm down. Gon isn't injured, he's just mentally traumatized and has temporarily passed out."

"It cannot be denied that this result is already a sign that the other party showed mercy."

"Otherwise, do you think Xiao Jie would have survived if the opponent had actually attacked during the fight?"

Yun Gu hurriedly said, fearing that Killua might do something irrational and get himself involved as well.

Didn't we agree to run away when we see someone stronger than ourselves? Why are you acting so impulsively?

fraud!

After Yun Gu's persuasion, Killua's blood boiled and calmed down.

Then I felt a bit scared.

The 'education' they had previously received once again prevailed.

"Come, take my heart."

Killua seemed to see Illumi standing right in front of him, his figure quickly merging with Illumi's, which startled him so much that he immediately jumped backward to the edge of the ring.

His face was full of panic, much like some kind of stress response.

"You've escaped... So, will you be my next opponent?"

Seeing Abel's gaze suddenly shift to him, Yun Gu's face turned pale, and he quickly waved his hand, "No, no, I'm a theorist, not very good at fighting, and I've never registered in the Sky Arena, so you should find someone else."

That was absolutely terrifying!

Who wants to fight with such a freak?

Yun Gu, who considered himself a refined person, kept complaining in his heart.

"When did the successor of the Heart Source School become so timid and cowardly? As far as I know, the basic requirement for the Heart Source School is to have a heart that wants to become stronger."

Once his identity was exposed, Yun Gu's naive smile vanished instantly, and his eyes, hidden behind his glasses, sharpened.

"Who exactly are you? How did you know I'm the successor of the Heart Source School?"

It's one thing to be able to figure out Killua's origins, since there are quite a few people who have seen members of the Zoldyck family take action and are still alive, though not many.

Therefore, it's not surprising that Killua was identified as a member of the Zoldyck family by the "heart-ripping" move.

The problem is that Yun Gu has never shown any moves. At most, he subconsciously strengthened his legs with his Nen when he rushed over from the audience.

Is it possible to see through his origins and background based solely on this?

If that's really the case, then this guy in front of him might be even more terrifying than he imagined.

He may have even fought against other members of the Shingen-ryu school.

"Could it be Master Bisky? Or someone else? It couldn't possibly be Chairman Netero, could it!"

Yun Gu was startled by the thought that had just popped into his head.

“I, Gustavus Abel, am the one who will soon reach the summit here.”

"As for you... most people who cultivate the Mind Source Stream have eccentric personalities. They usually like to pretend to be harmless, but in reality, they are just playing dumb to take advantage of others."

“You’re no different from anyone else, so you can’t fool my eyes.”

Yun Gu was greatly embarrassed by the strange looks he received from his disciples, Ji Xi and Killua.

And there is no way to refute it.

Because what the other party said was indeed correct.

Just like his master Bisky, who is 57 years old, but likes to pretend to be a 13-year-old little girl to fool people.

For example, the current president of the Hunter Guild, Netero, appears to be a 120-year-old man, but in reality, he is like a playful old man, full of energy and loves challenges. He is particularly interested in tasks that seem impossible to complete, and he actually completes them within a certain time!

He himself was similar; despite being quite strong, he always acted like an innocent, harmless ordinary person, as if anyone could bully him.

In reality, he is usually the most powerful Enhancement-type Nen user in combat!

Looking at Yun Gu's frail appearance, how many people would imagine that this guy is actually a Enhancement-type Nen user who is often described as 'simple-minded'?!

The contrast is just too great!

In battle, the enemy will definitely be very 'surprised'.

Therefore, it is said that people from the Xinyuanliu school of thought like to disguise themselves and play dumb to deceive others, which perfectly hits the nail on the head.

In addition, Shin-gen-ryu does indeed emphasize starting from the heart.

Physical strength can be improved through exercise, knowledge can be acquired through learning, intelligence can be cultivated, and rights can be obtained through certain methods; all of these can be changed.
