Chapter 1214: Blank Memories, the So-Called Weakest Zone_2

After privately asking around, the answer was without exception: Spartan acted out and ended up fainting, leaving the matter unresolved.

After he left, sounds of laughter echoed in the preparation area.

“Hey, Rebecca, you’re happy to see that guy unlucky, aren’t you!”

“Yeah, he kept bullying you. Too bad, he can’t continue today.”

Amid the crowd’s mockery, Rebecca bit her lip, silent, which sparked some thoughts in Redfield, who had seen Rebecca’s memories.

“Though very weak, you are different from the others here, barely making me recognize your inner strength. So, Rebecca, are you interested in sailing with me? I’m getting older, and having someone to help around on the ship doesn’t seem so bad, what do you think, Padoom?”

“I don’t mind, as long as Red Boss likes it.”

The solitary Red Earl, Redfield, also a pinnacle figure of his era, after acknowledging his inner self, had absolute confidence in his strength.

He wanted a partner with strength and inner qualities he could admire, and over strength, he valued inner strength more.

Rebecca, though weak, was acceptable in that regard.

“Old man, are you joking…”

“No, but I haven’t fully decided yet. If you became my crew, it’s not impossible to help you take down Doflamingo.”

“You might not know Doflamingo’s real strength… It’s better not to meddle.”

Rebecca managed to stop Spartan but was unaware of Redfield’s terrifying power; she didn’t know Redfield’s words weren’t idle talk.

As a pirate who acts as he pleases, he could truly accomplish that. The reason… it was simply because Rebecca’s actions intrigued him after a few glances.

“Anyhow, you’re from Zone B too; the qualifiers from Zone B are you and me. Some matters can be decided after seeing them.”

This statement prompted more laughter in the preparation hall, but Redfield didn’t care at all, instead walking towards the competition area, leaving the stunned Rebecca behind.

“I never said… I’m a contestant from Zone B…”

…

“Alright everyone! After a long wait, the battle in Zone B is ready! Let’s see who the participants are! Arson Demon Damesk, Spellcaster Mami, Troop Leader Logan! Oh, and the rare beauty sword fighter of this arena, Illusory Princess Rebecca!”

No matter their titles, those earlier participants received cheers upon appearing, except Rebecca, who faced only curses when she stepped onto the stage.

“Die, Rebecca! You must be cut to death today!”

“Die, you beast of the Riku Royal Family!”

“You’re really unpopular, aren’t you? Even like this, you don’t hate these people? Don’t want to kill them all?”

Redfield became the only one willing to speak to Rebecca, while other contestants quickly distanced themselves upon entering the stage to avoid being implicated.

“It’s all Doflamingo’s fault, they are innocent…”

At this moment, the audience suddenly changed their tone, as a character they greatly adored appeared.

“Oh! Here he comes! With our nation’s King, Donquixote Doflamingo, he saved this country, one of the family’s top executives, the operator of the Bullfighting Arena events, our hero, Mr. Diamante! To showcase fairness, Mr. Diamante will personally participate in the elimination round this time!”

Gatz’s voice turned hoarse out of excitement, and amid cheering, Diamante took the microphone and theatrically stepped to the center of the ring.

This was the result of the grouping; the arena had notorious figures with not much real power, allowing him to advance smoothly.

Moreover, with Rebecca as a target of hatred in presence, hero defeating villain was one of the most popular attractions here.

With Diamante’s appearance, the stage mood of Zone B in the Bullfighting Arena was heightened to the maximum, as the battle commenced.

…

“Magia Azca Kingdom’s Troop Leader Salinger Logan is showcasing his signature skill, Salinger Death Spin! The arena is in turmoil because of him! It’s said his grip strength is up to five hundred kilograms; if he catches you, your bones will be completely crushed!”

Logan’s death spin involves holding a contestant and rolling on the ground; this tactic indeed worked excellently in the tight ring. However, Logan’s attention-grabbing display seemed to irritate Diamante.

“Too much attention on you; this is my stage, Bullfighting Cloak!”

Diamante appeared in Logan’s path, fluttering his cloak towards Logan. Though seeming light and airy, the cloak launched Logan flying upon contact.

Diamante is the Paramecia-type: Float-Float Fruit user, able to transform any touched object into a cloth-like light form while maintaining its material.

The cloak appearing light and airy was actually made of heavy steel, and through his ability, it could return to its original state anytime, allowing Diamante to easily send Logan out of the ring.

“Mr. Diamante! He’s acted so quickly! I thought Logan had the potential to advance, but unfortunately, in front of our hero, he stood no chance!”
