Chapter 752: Who Are They?
From the packed Audience Stands, and among the people watching the Live Broadcast of the World Martial Arts Tournament via Visual Den Den Mushi, someone voiced this question as they looked at the Colosseum in shock.
It wasn't just one person, but many.
There were six people in the Colosseum.
After the large melee elimination round, the next stage was the showdown between squads.
Before the battle began, they could also make a choice.
Choose a gauntlet match, or a three-on-three team battle.
The rules were simple: it ended when one side was completely knocked out or surrendered.
At this moment, looking at the Colosseum.
A man wearing a black robe sat cross-legged on the ground.
This was quite rare in a three-on-three team battle.
No one would make things difficult for themselves or their teammates; even those with absolute confidence in their strength wouldn't do this.
If that was the case, why not choose a gauntlet match?
A gauntlet match tested strength more, while a team battle to some extent required tacit agreement and cooperation.
Of course, if their overall strength was formidable, that would be a different story.
And this scene had already lasted for several rounds.
They had already attracted a lot of attention before the World Martial Arts Tournament began.
Because they had openly plundered the invitation letter of another team, directly obtaining a contestant slot.
Furthermore, the Organizers had no reaction, essentially giving their tacit approval.
This made many people realize that it was possible to do things this way!
In fact, even the Organizers were somewhat surprised.
This was the first time the fighting tournament had expanded to a World scale.
For the first time, most people were still very cautious and hadn't fully understood the rules.
They also speculated that perhaps in the next tournament, or the one after, someone would notice this bug, but they didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
After all, what if the Organizers didn't give their recognition?
Wouldn't that be equivalent to offending several of the Underworld's Top Power?
At first, some people thought they had just exploited a loophole, discovered a bug early, and were relatively lucky.
Coupled with the fact that the people whose invitation letter was plundered didn't have much reputation.
They only had some reputation within a certain Sea Area; in the New World, most people didn't know them.
Therefore, the number of people paying attention was relatively small.
In contrast, the Star Team that already possessed great prestige undoubtedly received more attention.
In the initial elimination round, they weren't yet receiving much attention.
The mysterious man in the black robe didn't make a move.
Relying solely on Esidisi and Wamuu, they obtained two invitation letters.
Although called invitation letters, they were actually similar to tokens, and their texture was hard, making them difficult to destroy.
Esidisi and Wamuu possessed excellent combat ability and didn't need any teaching; this was all tempered through years of fierce fighting.
Furthermore, their bodies were incredibly agile, making them most suitable for such large-scale melees.
They were like fish in water, and Kazu didn't need to make a move at all.
Under Kazu's guidance, their Two-Color Haki had initially awakened.
They had long been on the verge of awakening, or had even already awakened, but didn't know this power and hadn't realized this power was Observation Haki.
Through a thousand years of tempering, the Grum Clan had long explored and developed their own power system.
However, compared to The Great Sea, it was somewhat different and not a complete system.
In essence, it belonged to Observation Haki and Armament Haki.
Through Kazu's guidance, their power was brought onto the right track.
Therefore, awakening Two-Color Haki was a natural progression for them.
The main reason they weren't receiving much attention was that the two of them had already mastered the ability to control their presence.
Subsequently, starting from the first match of the main competition, they gradually entered the public's vision.
Esidisi and Wamuu, two exceptionally talented warriors, and they possessed astonishing tacit agreement.
Pain Reduction further greatly enhanced their ability to withstand attacks.
In the first battle, Kazu did not make a move.
Relying solely on Esidisi and Wamuu, they defeated their opponents.
Starting from the second battle.
The pressure on the two of them greatly increased.
Facing strong enemies, and facing three people, they were still a bit inexperienced.
Anyone who could reach this degree was battle-hardened.
Their fighting style was somewhat different from those on The Great Sea, and one could figure some things out by watching a few times.
The main reason, of course, was that their Armament Haki had awakened too late.
In terms of offense, the Grum Clan's Armament Haki possessed special techniques and applications.
But it lacked the most core ability of Armament Haki: tempering the physique.
When they were about to be defeated, Kazu began to make a move.
Only a very few people could clearly see the movements of the man wearing the black robe.
By the time most people reacted, the opponent had already fallen.
The subsequent battles were largely like this.
The two young men would go up to battle first, and when they were about to lose, the man in the black robe would make a move, easily defeating the opponent with absolute strength, like sweeping away a thousand troops.
On such a stage, the further one progressed, the stronger the contestants became.
Every single one of them was a well-known Strongman on The Great Sea.
Even if they didn't have reputation, many people would know them after the World Martial Arts Tournament.
But unexpectedly, such a formidable dark horse had appeared in the World Martial Arts Tournament.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that on this stage where everyone was going all out for the final victory.
This special squad was actually using this opportunity for training, turning every opponent they encountered into a whetstone.
Furthermore, the effect was very significant.
Some Strongmen keenly noticed that Esidisi and Wamuu, two young men only twenty years old, were rapidly improving in strength through battle after battle.
Coming to The Great Sea, encountering new areas and new opponents, was a valuable wealth for them.
The improvement of Two-Color Haki, the change in fighting style.
Through battling their opponents, they were also adapting to The Great Sea, drawing experience from it, integrating it into their own combat system, and further optimizing it.
When they came to The Great Sea, they were like unpolished jade, constantly absorbing new energy.
This was also where Kazu saw potential in the Grum Clan.
Not only because of the potential they inherently possessed, but also because after leaving Night Island, an Island equivalent to being isolated from the world, they would unleash great potential.
Strong memory, and the calm qualities tempered in darkness.
Each of them possessed strong learning ability.
Their astonishing growth rate proved that he hadn't been mistaken.
Esidisi and Wamuu went all out in every battle.
They didn't want to disappoint Kazu, and even more so, they didn't want to disappoint their clansmen.
From Kazu's words, they knew that in the Kronos Kingdom, members of the Grum Clan were also watching the World Martial Arts Tournament.
Such a world-class tournament also helped them understand the situation on The Great Sea.
What's more, Esidisi and Wamuu, who followed Kazu, were also participating in the tournament.
