Everyone turned to look.
They saw an extremely well-built young man.
His muscles were bulging, he had two horns on his head, and his black hair was disheveled, falling down his back.
The entire person seemed to be full of explosive power.
He carried a spiked club on his shoulder.
He was staring intently at Qin Ze in the squad.
Then,
he swaggered to the center of the testing ground.
With an arrogant expression, he looked at the Captain and said,
"Captain, let me be the one to assess that kid named Qin Ze!"
This was an excellent opportunity, and he wouldn't miss it.
If he could brutally beat up the genius who had just stolen all the thunder and was being fought over by the Captains,
then who the true monster genius was would be self-evident, wouldn't it?
"Hahahaha! It seems you're very interested in that kid!"
Rocks's gaze moved from Kaido and landed on Qin Ze, who had just withdrawn his gaze.
"Good! Since you've made the request yourself, I declare that Qin Ze will be assessed by you alone!"
As he spoke,
Rocks activated his top-tier Observation Haki.
He locked onto Qin Ze in the arena.
He discovered that Qin Ze had an inexplicable aura about him at this moment.
It seemed to be an energy he had never seen before.
This made Rocks frown.
This person was indeed not simple.
He agreed to Kaido's request without hesitation.
Because he also wanted to see what Qin Ze's strength was like.
Although Whitebeard had always praised him as a physical combat genius before,
he had never actually seen him make a move.
But he was clear about Kaido's strength.
Among these apprentice crew members, Kaido could be said to be the strongest.
Now that he had made this request,
it could serve as a perfect touchstone for Qin Ze.
"Hey! Why?!"
"Why can Qin Ze be assessed by an apprentice crew member, while we have to face official crew members?!"
"Exactly, it's unfair! We're all new, but he gets special treatment!"
"Hehe! There must be some shady dealings going on here, aren't there?"
"..."
As soon as Rocks finished speaking,
a wave of protests erupted from the crowd.
In their opinion,
apprentice crew members were naturally much weaker than official crew members.
And if Qin Ze could face an apprentice crew member,
wouldn't the probability of him passing greatly increase?
This was clearly unfair to those who would have to face official crew member assessments.
At this moment, in the crowd,
there were even a few people who considered themselves strong,
who began to taunt Kaido directly.
As for this scene,
the official crew members watched with cold eyes,
sneering inwardly.
Apprentice crew members?
Newcomers still didn't understand!
Even they, the official crew members,
couldn't last more than a few moves under Kaido's hand.
Against him, every single one of these people was bound to lose.
At this moment,
Kaido in the arena,
looked at these few newcomers who were taunting him.
He didn't say a word.
His standing body took a step forward.
Immediately, a large pit was stomped into the ground, and dirt and Rocks flew.
His eyes, however, were fixed on them.
The few pirates in the arena immediately felt a great sense of dread.
This feeling...
It was like being targeted by some prehistoric beast.
Cold sweat poured down, and they immediately thought of retreating.
But how could Kaido let them come and go as they pleased?
He would definitely leave something behind, such as their lives.
His body moved.
Kaido's face showed a fierce light.
The huge spiked club swung towards the faces of these pirates.
Seeing this,
those few pirates indeed had some strength.
They reacted immediately.
They raised their long swords and blocked.
A loud clang echoed from where the weapons met.
Accompanying the sound,
the bodies of the few pirates flew out rapidly.
And their heads all exploded as if they had been smashed like watermelons.
On the ground, apart from a pool of blood, there were only a few severely deformed long swords left.
Everyone who saw this scene
involuntarily took a deep breath.
The entire arena fell silent.
So strong!
Some of those who had objected earlier
suddenly felt cold sweat dripping.
This...
One-shot kill?
This is too strong!
They must have gotten it wrong! Is this really an apprentice crew member?
"Hahahaha! As expected, they were instantly killed with one move."
"These newcomers who don't know their place really need someone to teach them a good lesson."
"Look at those newcomers, they're all scared silly!"
"A bunch of idiots, do they really think Kaido is easy to bully? He's the recognized number one among our apprentice crew members, his strength is terrifying!"
"Speaking of which, over the years, there must have been at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, people who died by Kaido's hand!"
"Hahahaha! Many of them had bounties over 100 million."
"This Qin Ze is also quite pitiful. Being targeted by Kaido, it looks like he won't live past today…"
Those who had witnessed Kaido's strength
immediately burst into laughter.
This kind of bloody scene was what they wanted to see.
What was the point of shouting so much?
And Kaido,
at this moment, also scanned the crowd with a triumphant look, and roared,
"Who else?!"
This time,
the newcomers were strangely silent.
No one dared to make a sound.
Let alone raise any objections.
Seeing the reactions of these people, Kaido burst into loud laughter.
Seeing no one respond,
he directly called out a name.
"That kid named Qin Ze, how long are you going to hide?"
"Come up quickly!"
Qin Ze, hearing this,
emerged from the crowd.
He slowly walked to the center of the testing ground.
A faint smile appeared on his face, and he thought silently.
Kaido,
the future Four Emperors, the strongest creature on the surface, the Captain of the Beasts Pirates.
He didn't expect him to actually come and challenge him voluntarily.
He wondered what level Kaido's strength had reached now.
Qin Ze couldn't help but feel a little curious.
But it was good.
His two months of training also needed someone to practice with.
Moreover,
if he were to brutally beat up Kaido in front of so many people,
it would surely become a dark history when he became a Four Emperors in the future!
It seemed quite interesting...
Thinking of this, the smile on Qin Ze's face deepened.
And with each step,
Qin Ze was now standing in the center of the testing ground.
