The Luffy by the window stared intently at Bartolomeo, his eyes blinking a few times.

“That guy is still laughing over there, he’s really a strange one,” Luffy whispered.

“He’s not just a bad guy, it’s his arrogant demeanor that’s most annoying. Unlike me, his reputation is probably beyond salvation, even for a god.”

Cavendish slightly raised his hand, sniffing the fragrance of a rose, his face full of disdain.

The referee in the stands was also quite disgusted by Bartolomeo’s arrogance, but quickly composed himself, realizing he still had a task to complete.

“Next, the final contestant from Block B will make his appearance! This person is completely different from that madman, Romio! This gentleman holds a fervent reverence and love for our King Doflamingo. He crossed dangerous seas, transporting vast amounts of gold from distant lands to present to the King, thus demonstrating his unwavering loyalty. To even please the King, he willingly donned a maid’s outfit, wishing only to become the King’s most loyal hound. Afterward, he systematically defeated and subjugated those nations that slandered our country as a barbaric pirate kingdom! He is the ferocious bullet of Dressrosa! Also one of the favorites to win this time! The Hyena, Bellamy!!”

As Bellamy, dressed as a maid, appeared, the entire audience instantly erupted as if ignited, letting out deafening screams, their admiration overflowing. They screamed Bellamy’s name at the top of their lungs, wave after wave of sound echoing through the arena.

Cavendish watched this scene with displeasure. “Even though this is their home turf, that guy’s popularity is just too ridiculous…”

Luffy, meanwhile, looked at the center of the fighting arena with amazement. “So many people, are they all going to fight together? I don’t even know where to look…”

Cavendish glanced sideways into the arena. “You just need to pay attention to the strong ones. Let me introduce you to the people I’m focusing on.”

“Then I’ll trouble you,” Luffy replied, nodding, unusually polite.

Cavendish’s gaze focused on the arena. “The man with yellow gloves and a crown on his head, and the fat, long-bearded man who just mocked the cannibal, are King Elizabello II of the Prodence Kingdom, the Fighting King, and his strategist Dagama, respectively. The blue-haired man in a floral shirt is Blue Gilly, the long-legged martial artist from the Longleg Tribe. Those two ugly guys with harpoons and the scruffy-looking fellow with a knife, are the criminals Abdullah and Jeet. The fish-man in the white yukata is Haku, the fish-man jujutsu practitioner. The rest are Bellamy and Bartolomeo. The ultimate winner will definitely be one of them.”

Luffy looked innocently at Cavendish, his voice a bit naive. “Um… could you say that again?”

……………………

For a moment, Cavendish wanted to kill this guy.

The battle in the arena intensified, yet Bartolomeo had no fighting spirit, lying sprawled on the arena, dozing off. His thoughts began to drift.

“Ah… I really miss Orochimaru-senpai. I wonder when senpai will come… Will he come to watch my match? And Luffy-senpai, I really want to see him in person. ( ´•౪•`)”

Watching Bartolomeo’s nonchalant demeanor on stage, Cavendish gritted his teeth in anger, glaring at him. “He’s completely out of control! He and Straw Hat Luffy are both juniors who don’t know their place. I must take him out in this match!”

As he spoke resentfully, Cavendish began to rummage through his stack of wanted posters, which resembled toilet paper.

(눈_눈 ) Luffy watched the stack of toilet paper speechlessly. “What are you doing, Cabbage?”

Cavendish flipped through the tattered wanted posters one by one. “I’m checking the wanted posters for the Worst Generation rookies. Looks like I need to get new ones; too many have been cut up, so I can’t see them clearly.”

Luffy pouted, seeing the wanted poster that was almost unrecognizable as himself, cold sweat pouring down ( ´ﾟжﾟ｀ ), his voice even a little guilty. “I say… maybe you should just let it go… spare them…”

But Cavendish directly refused, still mumbling something.

Meanwhile, in Dressrosa city, Orochimaru was aimlessly wandering around, bored. It was just too boring… He wanted to find some fun. He should have never agreed to Doflamingo; the physical discomfort made him want Doflamingo to die sooner and be reborn. That guy wouldn’t let him use his abilities to recover. Tsk… why did he listen to him?

As Orochimaru paced on the eaves, his ears suddenly perked up, catching a noisy commotion. The shouts within it somehow sounded familiar. Orochimaru braced his hands firmly on the edge of the eaves, his entire body inverting. His head just poked out from the edge of the eaves, completely unaware of how bizarre and strange this posture was. From afar, only a pair of eyes were visible below the eaves, his hair cascading down like a waterfall, drifting in the air. An unsuspecting person, at first glance, might even think it was a horror scene from a midnight ghost movie.

Pedestrians below, seeing this eerie sight, quickened their pace and hurried away, with some children crying loudly from fright.

Sure enough, looking from this peculiar angle, Orochimaru saw Sabo. Sabo was currently quite startled because the toy’s eyes had popped out without warning. Orochimaru’s mouth twitched slightly and unconsciously. He then quietly stared at Sabo, who was eating, definitely not because Sabo looked a bit embarrassing in that state. He secretly thought to himself, so this person is so unrestrained when I’m not around? This slovenly appearance can almost rival Ace’s… What to do, I’m a little disgusted ￢口￢ノ

Orochimaru watched Sabo, who hadn’t noticed him, trying to reduce his presence in the surroundings. He secretly speculated that Sabo’s visit was most likely to investigate the underground weapons trade in Dressrosa. Fortunately, he had prepared in advance and had quietly swapped out the relevant items underground. Although he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty towards Sabo, well… Sabo should understand, right? After all, the weapons themselves were not at fault!

Because of Orochimaru’s deliberate concealment, Sabo, who was devouring his food, remained completely oblivious. It was his posture that was quite stimulating to the passersby outside.

Koala sat back-to-back with Sabo. She held up a magazine to cover her face and reported the situation to Sabo in a low voice. But Sabo seemed not to hear, just focusing on eating voraciously. Koala called out several more times, and seeing that Sabo still didn’t respond, she became a bit anxious. Her tone unconsciously rose a few notches, with a hint of exasperation, as she shouted, “Are you listening?!”

Hearing the voice, Orochimaru instinctively looked at Koala. So this is the childhood friend of Sabo that Dragon mentioned…
