Chapter 621 - The Tournament Ends

The audience beside the ring cheered and shouted enthusiastically.

"Stay back, be careful of the lava!"

Basire shouted and directly lifted the barrier space. Lava more than one meter high quickly flowed in all directions, scaring the audience into immediately fleeing away.

Basire flew down into the lava and quickly picked up Akainu and Shanks.

He looked at the redhead who was covered in smoke and severely burned, and Akainu who was unconscious and missing a leg.

A red light flashed in Basire's eyes. It was obvious that in the future he saw, both of them had completely lost the strength to stand up, and even their consciousness was blurred.

Shanks was severely burned by the lava, and Akainu was also full of internal injuries.

"Unfortunately, this is a battle in which both sides lose and there is no winner."

"I declare this battle to be a draw!"

Basire announced loudly, looking at Akainu's thigh that had been burnt black by his own lava to stop the bleeding, he shook his head, and directly carried the two of them back to the floating island, asking Law and Mansherry to give them emergency treatment.

Their horrific injuries will probably take no less than ten days to recover from.

Seeing Shanks who was seriously injured, tears appeared in Uta's eyes. She couldn't bear to look at her father in such a state. Beckman and Lucky Roux hurriedly used geppo and flew to the floating island.

In this terrifying confrontation, Beckman didn't even have a chance to surrender in Shanks' place since the battle ended too quickly.

"Because their injuries are too serious, they are unable to participate in subsequent matches."

"So I declare that Douglas Bullet, who advanced to the finals, will directly become the champion of the first world martial arts tournament."

"Anyone who has objections or is unconvinced is welcome to participate in next year's World Martial Arts Tournament."

While Shanks and Akainu were undergoing treatment, Basire announced loudly to everyone.

The host Ann happily delivered a speech to congratulate Bullet, and at the same time began to distribute awards and announce the end of the first World Martial Arts Tournament.

But Bullet, who was very unhappy, did not go on stage to receive the title of the strongest person in the world at all. He just left angrily and said that he would come back next year to defeat everyone and win the title of the strongest in an honest and fair manner.

In this way, the first world martial arts tournament held on Laugh Tale ended.

But the concept of the world martial arts tournament has been completely implanted in the minds of the world.

Every strong person is gearing up for the next tournament, hoping to grab the title of the strongest.

After all, the prize money for the champion is so generous that it is hard not to be tempted, and the rewards for the top places are also very good.

It is estimated that in the future, this competition system will become more and more complete and grand, and the bonuses and rewards will be even richer.

Big News Morgans even created a strength ranking list in the newspaper, arranging the ranking of these strong people.

It seems that in the coming competition era, the world will no longer be proud of high bounties, but rather the ranking of world strength.

Whether it is for prize money or fame, more and more strong people will participate in the world martial arts tournament.

···

As the floating island departed from Laugh Tale, there were still many people who were reluctant to leave.

Many forces bought land from Carina and Baccarat, officially designated by the new World government, preparing to establish and expand their strongholds on this new island, and carried out large-scale land reclamation and construction.

They can already see a prosperous future for this final island.

The New World Government has also initiated a project to bring the maritime train here and build a New World railway network.

This martial arts competition is also being discussed by people around the world. The popularity continues to rise, and the era of strong idols has quietly come.

A few days later, Shanks, who had recovered from his serious injury, quickly said goodbye to Uta, and left Hachinosu with his two companions on the Oro Jackson.

Shanks, after being seriously injured, chose to retreat. He wanted to go back to East Blue Foosha Village to live in seclusion, where his woman Makino and son Unos lived.

This free man wanted to spend time with his woman and raise his son, who might be the trendsetter of the next era.

Under the friendly 'warnings' and 'threats' of several people, as well as the fist education of Garp, the Straw Hat skull flag that had been flying for several years was finally replaced by a smiley face with a straw hat.

The drawing of their adventurer flag was also done by Usopp.

Akainu got a new leg thanks to Law's Op-Op Fruit and continued to serve as the Marines' Deputy Fleet Admiral. He became the example of the hawkish Marines and his prestige increased.

At the same time, his resolute work style is also urging the somewhat lazy Kuzan to build the Marines into a real force and violent organization of the new world government, wanting to surpass Dragon and Basire's respective factions.

All this is moving toward stability.

···

In the Pangea Castle.

With the Laugh Tale incident and the World Martial Arts Tournament over, Basire's family has once again returned to the leisurely life that an imperial clan should have.

Having fun with his numerous wives, entertaining the children and walking the dogs every day.

"Basire, Taoji has completed the achievement of A Thousand People's Pillow, and Absalom has been trying to redeem her."

"Do you want to agree to his request?"

In a luxurious bedroom, Stussy snuggled into Basire's chest, her pretty red lips slightly opened, and asked with a smile.

She didn't know what serious crime Taoji, a mute girl, had committed to make Basire punish her like this, but someone who could make Basire so disgusted must also be a bad person.

"So fast?"

Basire was a little surprised, Momonosuke turned into a woman less than two years ago and must have been working really hard.

He also didn't expect that Absalom would still be trying to help her. This lecherous lion-headed man really has a soft spot for Taoji.

"Then agree to Absalom. The relationship between them deserves recognition."

Basire thought for a moment, waved his hand, and finally decided to help the 'infatuated' Absalom, so that they could finally get married.

But this lion-headed man had better protect Doc Q from sudden death, otherwise, if Doc Q's transsexual virus suddenly fails, Absalom will probably have a fencing battle between real men with Momonosuke.

Under Stussy's service, the two got dressed and walked out.

In the past two years, the Devil Fruits that could not be recovered from Saints Warcury and Nusjuro in the final battle were also successfully found and recovered by the new World Government.

They are currently stored in Pangea Castle, waiting for their new users.

And Saint Ju Peter, who was captured by Dragon, did not escape Basire's greedy hands either. He was killed directly and his Devil Fruit was successfully recovered.

The mythical zoan fruits of Imu and the Five Elders have all fallen into the hands of Basire.

There are also other rare devil fruits such as the Yamata no Orochi, Nue, and Forest Fruit among his collection.
