Chapter 465: The opening ceremony that caught everyone off guard

After Rex left King's Highlands, Doflamingo headed straight for Dressrosa Arena. As one of the main venues for the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament, Doflamingo needed to organize the entire process.

More and more people have come to Dressrosa, and the original area of ​​the island is no longer sufficient to accommodate so many visitors. Of course, Dressrosa today is not what it originally was. Ever since it was designated as the venue for the world's number one martial arts tournament, it was destined to be expanded on a large scale.

This is exactly what happened——

If you look up at the sky at this moment, what comes into view is the "floating island" that blocks out the sun. It is not just an empty island, but a whole set of vast archipelagos, floating high in the sky, surrounding Dressrosa! ~

Ghana Islands!!!~

That’s right, the archipelago floating above Dressrosa is exactly the same archipelago that Rex set sail for in 1489 of the Sea Circle Calendar - the Ghana Islands.

That year, Rex and Golden Lion worshipped the souls of his parents in heaven in the Ghana Islands. Then, witnessed by his uncle Golden Lion, he set sail from the Ghana Islands and began his thrilling career at sea.

The 'additional venue' of this world's number one martial arts tournament is this archipelago, a super archipelago that was carried into the sky by the Golden Lion with the power deeply awakened by the Floating Fruit, becoming a sky island.

Dressrosa Colosseum——

Doflamingo faced Roy and Gut and asked:

"Mr. Roy, Captain Gutt, do we need to hold an opening ceremony like the Pentles World Expo in the past, with all the powerful people appearing?"

Gut said nothing and looked at Roy.

He is already an old pirate of the previous generation, a figure of the old times who is of the same generation as Golden Lion and Whitebeard. In today's New World, Gutt is willing to let the younger generation handle many affairs. Didn't you see that Doflamingo, the organizer of this martial arts tournament, is only a teenager? Even Roy has retreated to the background, so Gutt has naturally begun to disappear.

Seeing this, Roy replied with a smile:

"My opinion is that it shouldn't be necessary. What's your opinion, Dover?"

Doflamingo saw that the question was thrown to him again, his face became more serious, and he answered immediately:

"I have the same idea, Mr. Roy and Captain Gutt. The Pentles World Expo back then was more of a move by Mr. Lex to increase his power and intimidate Marijoa. But now the wind of a new era has already blown across Qinghai. Marijoa's attitude is no longer important. What matters is Mr. Lex's thoughts."

Hearing this, Roy and Gut looked at each other and smiled slightly to show their agreement.

In Qinghai today, the attitude of the world government is no longer important. The only thing that matters is Lex's thoughts!

After a pause, Doflamingo continued:

"However, Mr. Lex has entrusted me with such an important task as the Martial Arts Tournament. I dare not disappoint such high hopes at any time, but at the same time, I must also make some seemingly arbitrary decisions."

"The opening ceremony should be kept simple. Similarly, we must get the martial arts tournament to the point as quickly as possible, start the competition among the heroes of Qinghai, and start the pursuit of the Qinghai Top 100 and even the Qinghai Top 10. At a speed that the world government and even the whole world cannot react to, we must push the influence of the world's number one martial arts tournament to every corner of Qinghai!"

After a pause, Doflamingo continued:

"Besides, the fierce battles between the top masters of Qinghai can last from a few days to several months. A battle of this magnitude would consume most of the energy required to maintain the venue and broadcast it. But at the same time, such battles are the essence of this martial arts conference and the purpose of all the masters from Qinghai gathering here this time."

"This martial arts tournament, if it's fast, it will be a success!"

Doflamingo concluded his analysis with a final tone.

Roy's expression changed slightly, but there was nothing unusual on Gut's face.

Roy immediately spoke with a teasing tone:

"Dover, you look very familiar to me now."

Doflamingo was startled and asked, "Why do you say that, Mr. Roy?"

Roy smiled and said, "When I worked hard to prepare for the Pentles World Expo for Lex, I was in the same state as you are now. I wanted to use all my life's knowledge to make this happen for Lex. You are in the same state now."

Doflamingo's eyes moved slightly under his sunglasses, and a slight smile appeared on his angular face:

"Mr. Lex has given me a new life. Similarly, participating in such a Qinghai feast is enough to make me live my life without regrets."

This is exactly why Doflamingo is so serious and persistent about the martial arts tournament.

He has always been a determined man.

Gutt sneered: "We'll all support you, Dover."

As long as it is for the great cause of Lex and the glory of Leon, Gut will give unconditional support. What's more, Doflamingo has now completely entered Lex's vision and is gradually moving towards the power center of Lex's side.

"Then I'll have to trouble you two to take care of the two branch venues of the martial arts tournament!"

Doflamingo said solemnly.

Branch venues, yes, the world's number one martial arts tournament has several branch venues -

After all, when the discussion was held in King's Highlands, Doflamingo proposed a plan against all odds. Not only would the Celestial Dragon Arena in Marijoa be moved here to be used as a 'casino' for opening and managing the game, but also a competition with prizes like the Sky Arena was once held.

The most important one is undoubtedly the First Venue, which Doflamingo is personally in charge of. It is also the real No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament in the World.

Qinghai Top 100 List Battle!! ~

This battle for hegemony has attracted the attention of the whole Qinghai, and it marks the battle for the distribution of interests and resources in Qinghai for a long time in the future! ~

Titles like Admiral of the Navy, Knights of God, Legendary Pirate, Dark King, Great Swordsman, etc. are useless here!

If the name does not make it onto the Qinghai Top 100 list, then all the glory of the past will be shattered!

After this world's number one martial arts tournament, all of Qinghai only recognized one thing——

Qinghai Top 100 List!

The Qinghai Top 100 list was won by real swords and guns! ~

……

In the sea not far from Dressrosa—

The super-giant fleet flying the navy flag marched straight into Dressrosa.

On the deck of the warship led by the leader, Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, Crane, Sakaski, Borsalino, Kuzan, Kake, Doberman... and other strong men of the navy gathered together! ~

The Holy Land of Mary Joa has issued a death order. Before being unable to effectively combat the "Qinghai Top 100 List", this powerful weapon that suddenly appeared, do everything possible to take as many rankings as possible, and take the highest ranking on the list as possible! ~

If they can't even get this, then the World Government will really lose miserably! ~

As for the adverse effects brought about by the gathering of all the elite navy forces in Dressrosa, including the loose control over the subordinate waters, these are nothing compared to the competition for the Qinghai Top 100 list!

Because, not only the Navy, Army, CP, and Knights of God, but even the strong ones from each Celestial Dragon family, have all come!

All the top forces in the sea gathered here tacitly. They also knew tacitly that the so-called Qinghai Top 100 List, and even the Qinghai Top 10 List, was a brand new reshuffle of Qinghai's interests and resources! ~

The Dressrosa Arena has been expanded several times in succession. Now its scale is so huge that it is unimaginable, occupying almost half of Dressrosa! ~

But even so, it still seems crowded.

The Ghana Islands floating in the sky, the main island has been completely transformed into a huge arena, and the surrounding islands are various small arenas and auxiliary facilities.

In addition, a steady stream of huge resources are being transported here. The trade chain and business blueprint controlled by Lex include Qinghai. Such wealth and resources are absolutely unprecedented, and now is the time to make use of these wealth and resources!

Doflamingo stood in the beast fighting arena, next to him was Big News Morgans, who was dressed in a suit and had a radiant look. The two looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Immediately, the huge broadcast sound instantly spread across the sea and sky, to every corner of Dressrosa, and to every corner of the Ghana Islands in the sky!

"Everyone, in ten minutes, the world's number one martial arts tournament will officially open at the Dressrosa Beast Arena!"

!!! ~

The unexpected notice spread throughout Haitian in an instant, and even spread throughout Qinghai through the live news broadcast! ~

In a moment, everyone was in an uproar!

Why are you in such a hurry? ! ! ~
