Chapter 1285 The Pirates Return (15)(Chapter Preview)

He didn't know who made this rule, but it seemed that everyone who went to the arena had to give a nickname.

'Bottle opener' and 'Triceratops' were naturally not his real names.

Of course, this was also a good thing, because ... If they announced their real names in this kind of competition, the audience was likely to hear the introduction of "let's welcome John Smith" and "James Brown", which was obviously quite boring.

Back to the main topic ...

Amidst the clamoring of the surrounding Pirates, the two contestants slowly walked to the center of the "boxing ring."

The man with the broken Gong stood between the two men, preventing them from having any physical contact before the match officially began.

The two contestants also took advantage of the last preparation time to check their boxing gloves. (The boxing gloves were provided by the organizers of the deck boxing match. In order to ensure the safety and viewing of the game, the contestants must wear boxing gloves before they can participate in the game.)

When the atmosphere was almost heated up, the man with the broken Gong voice began to read the rules,""There are five rules. First, you are not allowed to use any form of props. Second, special abilities are not allowed. Third, you're not allowed to hit anything below the waist, fourth, you're not allowed to cripple your opponent with malicious intent, and fourth, you're not allowed to kill your opponent. Fifth, no killing. "

At this point, he paused and continued,"Those who violate the first four rules will be immediately disqualified. As for those who violate the fifth rule ... Hehe ..."

He only smiled, but didn't say what kind of punishment would be received for killing.

However, all the crew members were well aware of the consequences.

On Queen Anna's revenge, the matter of "intentional killing of companions" was a "matter of principle". Those who did this ... Even if they escaped to the ends of the earth, Blackbeard would find them and "punish" them.

"Alright, is there anything you two don't understand?" A few seconds later, the man with the broken Gong looked at the two "contestants" and asked.

"No, I didn 't,"

"Hurry up and start."

The other two responded quickly and firmly. They were like two wild beasts in heat, full of fighting spirit and energy.

"Then ... Today's first match,'bottle opener' versus 'Triceratops'... Now ... Begin!"

His broken Gong voice was also very skilled in breaking sentences. He retreated as he spoke, and when he finished the last two words, he had just left the range of the 'boxing ring'.

Pfft!

Only a second later, the sound of fists colliding could be heard.

The boxing gloves used in this 'boxing match on deck' were specially made with magic materials. In addition to the protective functions that ordinary boxing gloves should have, their most important function was to "limit the upper limit of the user's physical skills."

As the members of the Blackbeard Pirates were generally very strong, if they were to fight with their bare hands, even if they did not use their "special abilities", it would be easy for them to end up in a situation of "three punches to one, one's skin and flesh being torn open, and the other's bones and tendons being broken."

In that kind of match, as long as one wasn't careful ... There would be accidental injuries, or even accidental kills.

Therefore, brother garlic and the others came up with the idea of 'boxing gloves' to suppress the strength, speed, stamina, resistance, and other basic attributes related to physical skills of the people who wore these gloves to a certain level. In this way, it could be guaranteed that this "deck boxing match" was mainly a competition of skills and not purely a crushing battle.

Of course, there was a limit to the "restrictive power" of the gloves. Once the wearer's physical skills exceeded the item's working limit, there was no difference whether he wore it or not.

This was also why ... None of the officers on the ship could participate in this competition.

Pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft

While I was explaining the settings, the bottle opener had already gained the upper hand in the match.

Although it was only one punch, an "effective" punch was more effective than ten "ineffective punches" that were blocked by the defense.

The bottle opener staggered and lost its balance. After retreating several steps, he finally found his balance ... And didn't fall to the ground.

On the other hand, the Triceratops sneered and chased after him, greeting him with a set of combination punches.

The bottle opener had used up too much of his stamina in the attack just now, and his reaction time was no longer able to keep up. He was instantly forced to retreat.

On the other hand, the Triceratops 'footwork was light and agile, and it made use of the field's width nimbly. It changed its moves in a roundabout way, and combined reality with illusion. It quickly disrupted the bottle opener's footwork and posture ... In this way, it was only natural that there were flaws in its defense.

"Brother ambitionist, did you see the difference between their punches?" At this moment, snow spoke again.

Ambitionist quickly replied,'ah ... In comparison, it's quite obvious. The bottle opener's punches relied on brute force and an instinctive punching posture ... While the Triceratops 'punches relied on' explosive force ', not only on the arms and shoulders ... He used strength from the lower body to the back; After a punch, the body can also regain balance in an extremely short time and be ready to make the next move. "

"That's right. This is the difference in the 'offensive' aspect." Snow nodded and continued,"if you want to win in a boxing match without a 'turn rest', it's a must to master the correct punching method ... Otherwise, you'll be like that Mr. Bottle opener ... Even if you get the chance to attack first, you'll exhaust your energy in a very short time and fall into an irreversible defeat."

Bang Bang Bang

Before snow could finish his sentence, on the other side of the ring ... Bottle opener's sturdy body had already fallen to the ground.

"Fall to the ground!" The man with the broken Gong voice shouted loudly and began to count,"one, two, three ..."

Just now, when snow and ambitionist were discussing how to punch, the corkscrew in the ring took another five or six "effective hits" from the Triceratops ... And these five or six hits were enough to end the contest.

"Four ... Five ... Six ..." Although he could tell with a glance that this guy couldn't stand up, for the sake of the program, he still counted and consciously counted slower and slower.

"Quickly get up! Bastard!"

"Damn it ... I'm going to lose my money for alcohol."

"Yay~well done! Beautiful!"

Seeing that the outcome had been decided, the audience's reaction was mixed with joy and worry. If there was a winner, there would be a loser ... Fortunately, there was a limit to the amount of money that could be bet (this rule was incited by Blackbeard's executives, and it was also because of this move that the boxing on deck was controlled to be in the category of "small gambling for entertainment," and there had been no trouble so far). The winner would not make a lot of money, and the loser would not jump into the sea to commit suicide.

"...Nine ... Ten!" It took her nearly 20 seconds to finally count the 10 numbers.

He then jumped into the arena, grabbed the Triceratops 'right wrist, and raised it up.""The winner! A Triceratops!"

The moment the result was announced, cheers, boos, and sighs of disappointment ... All of them interwove.

Next, it was time for the first round of wagers to "pay" and "place their bets" on the second round.

As for this matter, it was better to let the three of them handle it. It didn't take long to settle the bill because only those who had won money needed to pay. The second round of betting didn't last long either. In the first round, there would definitely be people who' lost 'or' won enough 'and would not participate in the later rounds of betting.

In short, after seven or eight minutes, the second round of preparation work was ready.

The man with the broken Gong once again stood in the middle of the ring and shouted,""Guys! Didn't today's warm-up match end a little too quickly?" He paused and laughed."It's okay ... The earlier we watch the newbies pecking at each other, the earlier we can see the main show!"

As the host of the pirate ship, he didn't have to care too much about his words and expressions, and he didn't have to worry about offending anyone. For example, the phrase "newbies pecking at each other" in front of him was definitely inappropriate in a formal competition. However, on a pirate ship, it didn't matter if they cursed, let alone called him a "rookie ..." Pirates who spoke vulgarly wouldn't hold grudges against each other just because of a few unpleasant words.

"Now ... Please welcome ..." A few seconds later, the voice of the broken Gong rose a little."The defending boxing champion of the boxing match on the deck ..."

At the same time, body hair bro was actually holding an upside-down metal bucket and beating the drum with the two broken broom handle.

"Forty-five fights ... Forty-five wins ..." The man with the broken Gong did not report the number of KO's because all the victories in the boxing matches on the deck were KO 's."He has never fallen to the ground so far ... He's a top master who easily wins every match with an absolute advantage ...

He's a giant from the North ...

He's a sea monster that crawled out of the abyss ...

"He's the creator of pain, the Trampler of confidence ...

"He's ...'Wei' Jing's people '."
