Chapter 91

"Hmph!" Kratos snorted at the two giants.

"This one is not enough." Saying that Kratos immediately pushed the two swords together.

The two giants took a few steps back due to the opponent's strong push. Both looked at each other, wondering why this little creature had such incredible strength.

Shock and anger were evident on the faces of the two giants. Being pushed by this little guy made them feel humiliated!

"Ha!!!"

Roaring with rage, the two giants attacked Kratos again, this time with greater force.

Kratos calmly grabbed the Blades of Chaos and raised it above his head to block the opponent's attack.

*Boom!*

The two giants' attacks were successfully blocked by Kratos' blades! Even though the stone slab under Kratos' feet had been shattered by this attack, it was clear that Kratos could withstand the opponent's attack without any difficulty.

"It's my turn." Kratos' deep, hoarse voice rang out.

"It looks like this battle is coming to an end." Robin looked at the situation in the arena while shaking her head.

"That's right, Vermillion, all your crew are so strong, even those two giants couldn't hurt Kratos."

"Of course they are." Vermillion nodded as he watched the contestants rushing toward Kratos.

"Participating in this rookie competition is quite a bluff, haha!"

"I originally thought there would be many strong people who would want to enter this competition; after all, the prize is the precious Devil Fruit, but it seems I was wrong." Vermillion shook his head.

Soon, the second game ended, and the winner was none other than Kratos.

No one on the field could harm this bald man; not even the famously strong giant race could harm him.

Those who were unlucky in this second game had lost their lives; as for the lucky ones, they didn't look any better either. Most of the injured will be maimed for life.

"Everyone has seen that the winner of this second match is Kratos!" The arena host, Jimmy, shouted loudly.

"This match is truly a one-sided match; there's no one in the arena who can best this one great warrior!"

"It's a wonder that this strong warrior isn't famous in the seas."

"Okay, I'm sure everyone is happy with the result of the second match. So without further ado, let's move on to the third!" Jimmy shouted excitedly.

As the game continued, Musashi, who was in the third match, won this match easily.

In this third match, not a single opponent could stop her. In just a few seconds, Musashi cut down all her opponents.

Unlike Kratos' previous matches, Musashi remained restrained. Although her opponents received slash wounds, they were not fatal.

Certainly much better than the second match, which took a lot of casualties.

"The four qualifying matches are over! Next is to gather the contestants who made it to the semi-finals; the two semi-finals winners will be able to enter the finals!"

"Before that, I want to apologize; I frankly believe that the winner of this match will most likely be Lady Musashi and the great warrior Kratos!" Jimmy expressed his opinion while pretending to cough.

"Then, let's begin the first battle of the four contestants of this semi-final!"

"The first battle is; Lady Musashi against Kurou!"

"Both are swordsmen; perhaps this match will give us an interesting spectacle." Following Jimmy's words, Musashi and Kurou came to the center of the arena.

"Fight... begin!"

After Jimmy gave the signal, Kurou's sword was in front of Musashi's eyes. Kurou's fast speed even produced extreme wind!

Facing her opponent's attack, Musashi tilted her head to avoid Kurou's stab. With her back relaxed, Musashi's hand on the sword's hilt instantly drove the sword into Kurou's waist.

Kurou's eyes instantly widened, frantically kicking the ground with full strength. Retreating quickly, Kurou managed to avoid Musashi's slash!

Although he managed to dodge, the armor he was wearing was cut off by her.

"Is that Soru?" Standing straight, Musashi asked while smiling at her opponent.

"I didn't expect you to be able to avoid my slashes. It seems you've been hiding your true strength in previous matches."

"Considering you can use that technique, you must be from the Navy, right?"

Kurou paused; he was indeed a Navy man.

He originally came to this island to target the Golden Lion, but coincidentally the Drake Pirates also appeared here, so he received a new mission, one that required him to monitor the Drake Pirates.

When he discovers that someone from the Drake Pirates is participating in the competition, he and his friend decide to enter while hiding their true powers.

Only when they fought Kratos and Musashi would they immediately use their full strength, intending to kill the two Pirates quickly.

But, when he faced Musashi, he realized it was a ridiculous plan.

Even after exerting his full strength, the attack could not even hit Musashi!

If he did not use Soru to dodge the opponent's attack, the opponent's previous attack would have knocked him out instantly.

Kurou freed his legs slowly, the use of Soru just now making both legs feel a little uncomfortable. He would most likely no longer be able to launch effective attacks at the opponent.

Hence, he intended to give up on this match. He wanted to recover his energy to fight the Drake Pirates later.

But, things were not as simple as Kurou had imagined.

Just when Kurou was about to raise his hand to surrender, a sharp Shockwave suddenly rushed at Kurou! Kurou, who saw this attack, immediately blocked it with his sword.

"Not bad." Musashi walked towards Kurou with slow steps while holding both her swords.

"Since you did not answer my question, then I will take this fight seriously."

Shortly after saying that, Musashi swung her swords at Kurou with blinding speed.

A cross-shaped shockwave appeared following the slash. Obviously, Musashi did not want to give Kurou a chance to give up.

Although Kurou managed to dodge the Shockwave with Soru, Musashi suddenly appeared before him.
