"Hahaha." Bashas watched as dozens of people attacked him, completely unmoved, and even laughed heartily.
"boom!"
A tremendous sound rang out, and a powerful aura erupted from Bashas, instantly hurling everyone on the stage into the air.
“Hay, Stoia.” Bashas looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and then all the contestants fell down, losing consciousness.
It's possible that a giant contestant fell in front of Lin Qing, obscuring him, leading everyone to believe that Lin Qing had also been killed by this move.
After a few seconds of silence, the announcer's voice rang out.
"The winner of Area A is the masked man, R. Stoia."
A deafening roar of cheers erupted, cheering for the powerful Stoia and for his single strike that annihilated all the contestants in Zone A.
"In the blink of an eye, the outcome has been decided, and a new hero has emerged in the arena!" the host exclaimed.
"Hehe." Seeing that he had won, Bashas grabbed the paper bag mask on his head and ripped it off.
"Is he going to take off his mask? Is he really going to take it off? He is!!!"
"This, this is truly astonishing! We recognize this masked man, the spectacular opening ceremony, the unexpected appearance of this person, the winner of the A-zone elimination round is—"
"Jesus Burgess, the first captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, whose presence even makes children afraid to cry at night." The host announced the victor's identity with a horrified expression.
"Hahaha!" Bashas laughed, striking a pose.
"That guy was the champion back then!" Luffy finally squeezed to the front, looked at the ring, and recognized Burgess.
"The Blackbeard Pirates? Why are these guys even participating in the competition?!"
"Lin Qing from the Straw Hat crew was also killed by this guy."
"I never expected that Basas would participate. His strength is so exaggerated, you have to admit it."
Shh! Look, that's Straw Hat Boy.
Chapter 161 Excuse Me
"How is this possible? How could Lin Qing lose?" Luffy's expression changed drastically.
Meanwhile, the audience, who were cheering excitedly just a second ago, fell silent the next second, all of them terrified.
"Damn it, what's going on? Where's Lin Qing? How did that guy suddenly win?" Nami said in disbelief.
"The Blackbeard Pirates have shown up; it looks like there's going to be a big battle today," Luo Huan said, holding his weapon.
"Oh my god, I see Lin Qing still sitting there eating cake. Don't worry!" Robin used her Flower Flower Fruit to grow an eye there.
"It's the Blackbeard Pirates. I wonder if Lin Qing can win easily," Franky said.
After a brief silence, the audience erupted in cheers once again.
"This is going to be interesting! Well done, Basas!" a spectator shouted.
In their view, whoever was in the arena was there for them to see, so they weren't afraid and became even more excited.
"Mmm, this is delicious. Hehe, I'll ask Sanji to make me a little more later." Lin Qing stood up and habitually patted the dust off his butt.
Lin Qing looked at the giant blocking his way, leaped over it, and arrived in the middle of the arena.
"Excuse me, the battle can begin now. I've finished my cake," Lin Qing said calmly.
"Hmm? Hahaha, it seems I went a little too easy on him." Bashas turned around and looked at Lin Qing in surprise.
"Then, that guy hasn't fallen yet?"
"How is that possible? The guy who ate the cake is actually alright?"
"Hey, those are the Straw Hat crew, you'd better watch out."
"Hmph, what are you afraid of, Basas, take down that guy."
"Yes, kill him, kill him!" The audience cheered, wanting Bashas to kill Lin Qing.
"Wow, I didn't expect there to be someone else on the stage, and it's Lin Qing from the Straw Hat Pirates! I take back what I just said."
"Now let's take another look at your battle. The victor will be one of you!" the host shouted into the microphone.
"Haha, I knew Lin Qing couldn't possibly be defeated!" Luffy laughed heartily.
"Kid, are you Lin Qing, the newest member of the Straw Hat crew?" Burgess slowly walked towards Lin Qing.
"I'm older than your grandfather, is it appropriate for you to call me 'kid'?" Lin Qing said calmly.
"Hahaha, you? Die! Wave Elbow Strike!" Bashas swung his right arm, delivering a powerful blow to Lin Qing, and the armor on his right arm also emitted a powerful shockwave.
Lin Qing didn't dodge; he simply stretched out his palm and caught Basas's elbow strike without moving an inch.
"I didn't expect you to have some skills." Bashas wasn't angry that his attack had been blocked.
"This time, I'll let you experience an even more powerful attack."
Bashus channeled his domineering aura into his right arm and armor, unleashing his full power, and the armor also unleashed its most powerful shockwave.
"Hah—!" An extremely powerful force slammed into Lin Qing.
Lin Qing didn't want to waste any more time, so he threw a punch at Basas's elbow that was attacking him.
"Bang!"
An invisible shockwave emanated from the center of their attack, instantly blinding the audience.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—! Bang!" Bashas was blasted into the sky by Lin Qing's punch, crashing through the top of the arena and continuing to fly into the sky.
Barshas was sent flying off Dressrosa Island by Lin Qing's punch, eventually crashing through a warship that was preparing to dock and sinking to the bottom of the sea.
"Is this for real? The incredibly powerful Bashas was sent flying by Lin Qing with just one punch?"
"That punch probably sent Basas flying hundreds of meters away!"
"How is that possible? I think they could have fought their way out of Dressrosa. It's at least ten kilometers from the sea here."
"Damn it, do the powerful always show up last?"
Then deafening cheers erupted, completely disregarding the fact that they were cheering for Lin Qing, even though they had just been cursing at him.
"My God, he's so incredibly powerful! Basas, who could kill all the other contestants in one hit, was actually killed by Lin Qing in an instant."
"I now announce that the winner of Area A is Lin Qing from the Straw Hat Pirates." The host excitedly announced the result.
"Haha, Lin Qing is still so amazing, he actually defeated the champion with just one punch." Luffy was happy for Lin Qing.
"Very strong. I hope to have a match with Lin Qing someday," Zoro said, gripping his sword tightly.
"You idiot, green-haired moss, Lin Qing could kill you with a single finger," Sanji said disdainfully.
"What did you say, you lecherous chef?"
"What can you do about it if I tell you?"
"Bang, bang."
"Stop making a racket and watch the match. Luffy might be on the field in the next one." Nami, now a shrew, mercilessly left red envelopes on Zoro and Sanji's heads.
Lin Qing has won, the victor of Zone A. He will now go to the preparation room to wait for the victors of Zones B, C, and D to appear.
However, Lin Qing didn't go to the preparation room. Instead, he jumped directly from the arena to the Straw Hat crew watching from the stands. There were empty seats next to Nami and Robin, so he sat down there.
Then, the duel in Zone B began, and Bartolomeo, with his green hair, was booed by the audience as soon as he entered the arena.
However, Bartolomeo didn't care at all and was extremely arrogant, even openly urinating in the arena.
"Sanji, the cake you made is delicious," Lin Qing praised.
"That's right, Sanji's desserts are absolutely delicious." The entire Straw Hat crew agreed.
"Damn Lin Qing, I prepared the cake for Miss Robin and Miss Nami, how dare you steal it."
"Now that you've had enough, hurry up and give it to the two beautiful ladies." Sanji had no choice but to comply.
"Oh yeah, I'm starving. Is there anything else good to eat?" Chopper said.
Everyone rubbed their stomachs and realized they were a little hungry, so they all stared at Lin Qing.
"Well, I've finished all the cake, there's only some ingredients left," Lin Qing said, slightly embarrassed.
"I see." Chopper said, somewhat disappointed.
"It's okay, just bear with it. We'll go eat after the match," Nami said.
"Yes, yes, just bear with it."
"Lin Qing, if you sneak food again next time, I won't cook for you anymore."
"By the way, Lin Qing, I remember you can take living people in. Why don't you come to the ship and cook for us, Sanji?" Usopp came up with an idea.
Immediately, everyone, including Lin Qing, agreed. Under Nami's intense gaze, Sanji agreed and then glared fiercely at Usopp.
Chapter 162 The Fist of the King
Sanji was then put into Lin Qing's sleeve and appeared in the kitchen of the Thousand Sunny.
"Alright, let's watch the game. We'll have some delicious food to enjoy later. It'll be so relaxing to watch the game while eating delicious food," Lin Qing said happily, leaning back against the rock.
The battles on the field were extremely fierce, with people constantly being defeated and thrown into the sea.
King Elizabello II was protected by his strategist Vasco da Gama and hired combatants.
Elizabello was warming up, preparing to unleash his King's Fist. He believed that once he threw it, he would eliminate all the contestants.
"Yay! Whoosh!" Brukili swung his long legs and took down several of the Protector Elizabeth II's mercenaries.
"While we're still working together, let's quickly deal with Brukili," Vasco da Gama immediately ordered the mercenaries.
"Alright!" Several mercenaries immediately rushed towards Brukili.
However, Vasco da Gama turned on them and slashed the mercenaries to the ground with a single blow.
"Dha Gama?"
