**Chapter 717: The World Fighting Tournament and the Evolving Teach**
The Swordsmanship Tournament has ended, and the Major Powers have evacuated Paros Island one after another.
They no longer had a reason to stay on Paros Island.
After all, they had many matters to handle in their own Territory.
The "Loan Shark King" Du Feld and the "King of Fighters" Rugal departed with satisfaction.
On Paros Island, they had secured the participation of the "Weapons King" Victor and the "Sea Transportation King" Umit.
This meant that, in addition to Rugal as the organizer, the Fighting Tournament had also gained the endorsement and support of three Dark Kings.
This matter naturally received Hades' consent.
Once successful, this would also be a massive cash cow.
It also signified that the Fighting Tournament would receive the support of the Kronos Kingdom and the Eternal Kingdom, two Superpowers, from behind the scenes.
Although the Swordsmanship Tournament garnered worldwide attention, it only occurred once every twelve years.
Furthermore, not everyone watched the Swordsmanship Tournament.
There were many people who had no interest in the battle between swordsmen.
There were also quite a few people who paid little attention to the battle within the Sky Arena.
Especially in the chaotic Underworld.
The Fighting Tournament leans towards the Underworld, which will To Some Extent fill the void left by the Sky Arena.
After this, the Fighting Tournament will transition from purely black market to semi-black and semi-white, becoming even grander.
The annual Fighting Tournament will also attract the gaze of countless people.
Next, with the help of the various Dark Kings, Rugal will rule the Underground bare-knuckle boxing and Arenas throughout the New World, the Four Seas, and the First Half of the Grand Line.
Expanding the range of influence to the entire World.
And through these Arenas and Colosseums, select excellent and Strong Warriors.
Giving them invitation tickets to participate in the Fighting Tournament.
As long as they agree, before the Fighting Tournament begins, Umit will arrange ships to send them to Fighter Island.
Mimicking Paros Island, Fighter Island will be further developed to satisfy more interests and the need for enjoyment.
Thus, the Fighting Tournament, with its full name "Fighting King Unlimited Arena Fighting Tournament".
This event, originally limited to the New World, will become a World Fighting Tournament, just like the Swordsmanship Tournament.
A massive Interest Group based on the Fighting Tournament has formed.
Rugal is even considering changing to a better Island as the venue for the Fighting Tournament.
Dark Fighting Island, as his own Territory, has complex connections, making reconstruction very troublesome.
It would also be difficult to manage then.
Moreover, it inherently contains some unsavory elements.
If it were a new Island, it could be re-planned perfectly, like a blank sheet of paper to paint upon freely.
As for funds, whether it's the "Loan Shark King", the "Weapons King", or the "Sea Transportation King", they will all support him.
Rugal himself also possesses a large sum of funds.
What Rugal is doing is also guided by Ignis.
Upon learning of the cooperation proposed by the "Loan Shark King" Du Feld, Ignis began to promote the perfection of this plan from behind the scenes.
There was no need to even promote it.
The "Loan Shark King" Du Feld represents the will of the Ouroboros Group and the Eternal Kingdom behind him.
The other two Dark Kings represent the will of the Kronos Kingdom.
Rugal appears to be his own Faction, but he also has the Sound Nest Faction behind him.
When the will of all parties reached unity, there were no longer any obstacles.
All that needed to be considered was the division of interests.
The largest share would certainly be taken by the Kronos Kingdom, followed by the Eternal Kingdom and Sound Nest.
With the end of the Swordsmanship Tournament, the Sky Arena returned to its usual competitive state.
Continuous battles were held in various Arenas.
The audience who had not yet left, or other swordsmen, were also attracted by the Sky Arena.
Of course, the most anticipated were the great battles between the outstanding individuals of the Sky Arena.
Money flowed like water; after several months of the Swordsmanship Tournament, many people had spent all their money.
After all, for Strongmen, earning money through combat is naturally fast.
However, the high-end expenses on Paros Island were not cheap.
The Witch's Feast, Luxury Casino, truly like paradise, constantly emptied the wallets of others.
The young Marshall D.Teach couldn't wait to throw himself into a competitive state on the second day the Sky Arena began.
In just his first battle, he exhibited a dominant combat power.
A physique tempered through a thousand trials, powerful body techniques honed through continuous fierce fighting and combat.
Even stronger Two-Color Haki.
His opponent retreated step by step under Teach's madness offense, completely suppressed in all aspects.
To quickly finish off his opponent, Teach even resorted to the brutality of trading blows.
He had confidence in his physique and recovery power; this was his advantage.
Moreover, the powerful medical treatment and medicine of the Sky Arena could help him quickly recover from injury.
Injury To Some Extent was free.
The heavier the injury, the more money or points from the Sky Arena were required.
Most of the time, Teach's treatment was free.
Of course, there were times he encountered strong enemies.
Teach naturally wouldn't use the points he needed to exchange for the Dark-Dark Fruit, nor would he spend money.
Because Lubock would pay for him.
His reckless fighting style greatly increased the brutality and excitement of the combat.
Teach's opponent had been out of combat power for some time.
Meanwhile, Teach had been maintaining arduous training during the Swordsmanship Tournament, engaging in fierce fighting in the Underground Fighting Arena.
Always maintaining a peak combat condition.
A spectacular opening win significantly boosted Teach's reputation, especially as many people remained on Paros Island right after the Swordsmanship Tournament ended.
Many people around the world were also paying attention to the situation in the Sky Arena.
This was just the beginning.
After the battle ended, even before Teach's injuries had fully healed, he immediately went to the Sky Arena's Management Area to apply for the next battle.
The next battle might be tomorrow, or the day after.
As long as a Strongman on the same level as him applied, he would be matched with them.
This amount of time was enough for Teach; even if his condition hadn't returned to its peak, it wouldn't affect his combat.
While others were standing still.
His own growth meant he was already pulling away from others.
Teach had absolute confidence.
He was currently on the seventeenth floor of the Sky Arena, only seventeen years old, and already a recognized Monster in the Sky Arena.
In the intense competitive environment, ever since Teach's physical development reached a certain degree, his potential experienced a great burst, growing stronger every so often.
His insane evolution speed was simply terrifying.
Simple training could no longer satisfy Teach's craving for strength.
He always went alone to the waters near Paros Island, training under the heavy pressure of the Deep Sea.
Teach's outstanding performance perfectly met Hades' requirement for him.
The same person, growing up in different environments, would have completely different appearances.
As the saying goes, appearance reflects the heart; Teach's current appearance is also very different from the impression Hades had of him.
The Dark-Dark Fruit is ready.
Teach is not far from obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit; if he can maintain this momentum, he will be able to exchange for the Dark-Dark Fruit in just three or four months.
However, this is difficult.
The few Strongmen at the top of the Sky Arena are not pushovers.
Which one didn't rise from the bottom, reaching the peak through battle after battle? Which one didn't possess outstanding talent?
Although Teach's performance is dazzling, the time given for his growth is still somewhat short.
Hades is very much looking forward to how much trouble Teach will stir up on The Great Sea afterward.
The war on Dragon Island was just the beginning.
The New World, suppressed for a long time, with its mutual competition, will usher in a true great upheaval under the impact of the New Era Pirates, a purge that will determine status.
