Chapter 289 Crocodile's Dissatisfaction

PS: Yesterday's chapter was updated.

………………

"Waaah!"

The screams of the old prisoners rang out.

Their plan ultimately failed.

People who sneak away are always hated, especially when their tactics aren't particularly sophisticated.

Furthermore, the rule is that as long as you don't kill anyone, you can do whatever you want.

Once the other prisoners came up with their various tricks, even if they held on tightly in their turtle formation, they couldn't hold out for long.

Crocodile was also squeezed into the crowd, trying his best to push forward.

As a Devil Fruit user, he was at a particular disadvantage in this situation after being shackled with Seastone.

Because seastone not only limits his Devil Fruit abilities, but also significantly restricts a large portion of his physical strength.

Unlike those who don't have Devil Fruit powers, they only have shackles on their wrists.

Crocodile is essentially competing with a heavy load.

Therefore, he, who used to be a formidable figure on the high seas, now appeared utterly ordinary.

The process of him getting onto the ring was not due to his so-called ability, but rather he was simply pushed up by the crowd.

Similarly, he didn't stay in the ring for long before being pushed off in the same way.

This time, however, it will be extremely difficult for him to step into the ring again.

On the arena, the powerful fighters, through silent coordination, began to eliminate those who attempted to enter the ring.

Countless people who were not strong enough were sent flying, crashing into the dense crowd and causing wave after wave of chaos.

Many prisoners who only wanted to take advantage of the situation were exposed at this moment.

They surrounded the ring in the center, forming a large circle, but they refused to push their way onto the ring.

reason?

Very simple.

It's nothing more than fear, or knowing that they can't win.

"Go away!"

"Damn it! Get out of my way!!"

Of course, there are also challengers who have the courage and ability.

Crocodile, for example, is one of them.

However, despite his arrogant words, once he stepped onto the stage, he couldn't even withstand three moves before being hit in the cheek and flying out of the ring.

"Heh! A Devil Fruit user wants to challenge this arena?!"

The defender sneered.

In the past, there have been other Devil Fruit users vying for a spot in the arena.

But without a doubt, they all failed.

As for the reason, it's the same as mentioned before: their physical strength was diminished by the Seastone.

No matter how strong they were before they wore Seastone, they had slaughtered several pirates of that caliber in the arena like chickens.

But at least for now, after being adorned with sea stone, they really are a bunch of spineless cowards.

"asshole!!"

Crocodile raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

As a proud man, he would never allow himself to be looked down upon like this.

Enraged, he got up from the ground and continued charging toward the ring with unwavering courage.

However, the defender barely even opened his eyes to look at him.

He casually swung his hand twice, and the second time he delivered a truly insulting slap to Crocodile, sending him flying horizontally once again.

"How...is this possible! How could the difference in strength be so great?!"

Crocodile, who had rolled over, slammed his fists into the ground, clearly unable to believe that he had become so weak.

"Damn it! If it weren't for these handcuffs!!"
