Chapter 283: Refusing to appear,
"This Mr. Tiger King is really good!"
In the audience, Carson nodded in approval.
Although normal battles seem ordinary, who would use that kind of AOE skill in a place like the Colosseum? All the Colosseums in the world refuse to allow the entry of natural fruits.
After all, the entire arena would need to be rebuilt after each fight, and we can’t afford that cost.
If you want to see the kind of battles where you can call the wind and rain and have full special effects, you can go to the battlefield. What the Colosseum requires is a fist-to-flesh fight between two battle tanks or even a meat tank.
In a place like the Arena, no one would be able to withstand the AOE attacks of mages and shooters.
A glimpse of the whole picture can reveal the whole picture. Even though Jacket did not use his full strength just now, Carsent still saw Jacket from head to toe.
His physique, domineering aura, and fighting spirit are all quite good. In Carsent's estimation, this Jacket should be slightly stronger than the elite vice admiral of the navy.
"Then I will thank Lieutenant General Xuanming for his compliment on behalf of Jacket!"
Manhart agreed with a smile.
This battle was specially arranged by Manhattan. Otherwise, as the third in command of the Lion Kingdom, Jacket would not be idle enough to go to the arena every now and then.
The purpose is to let Carsent see other powerful people in the Lion Kingdom.
"Lieutenant General Xuanming, are you or your men interested in trying it out in person and experiencing the characteristics of our Lion Kingdom?"
Manhart bowed slightly, with a cunning look flashing in his intelligent eyes.
"Stop it, Manhart!"
Carson stretched out of boredom and glanced at Manhart.
"Who am I fighting? You or Jacket?"
"If you two don't mind being embarrassed, I wouldn't mind showing it off."
"Or will your king come in person? If Shiqi and I fight, not only this arena, but the entire island will be reduced to ashes."
Carsent scoffed at Manhattan's proposal and had no interest in it at all.
It is naturally impossible for me to take part, and no one here is worthy of taking action on my part.
Anna and others who followed him were not yet Jacket's opponents. Whether he would win or lose would depend entirely on Manhattan's decision.
If we lose, it will be a disgrace to the Navy and the World Government.
Carsente didn't like the feeling of having his fate in the hands of others.
Of course, the most important thing is that I am here to inspect you on behalf of the World Government, not to be a fool for you.
In the Holy Land, only slaves would go on stage to duel, and slave owners and men were always just spectators.
People with a little status are unwilling to go on stage even if they have the ability. After all, it is embarrassing to win, and even more embarrassing to lose. Only people with a mental disorder like to be made a fool of by others.
Therefore, Carson "politely declined" Manhattan's suggestion with a "straightforward" answer.
"If that's what you like."
"Why don't I make the decision? You go down and fight Jacket. Let's see who is more powerful, you or the general?"
Carson looked at Manhart, waiting for Manhart's answer.
"If Lieutenant General Xuanming doesn't like it, then forget it..."
Manhart's smile was a little forced. After all, it was just a simple test. What if any of the officers next to Carson would like to go on stage and try?
As for letting Carson come on stage, Manhattan didn't have the guts to do that. If the opponent's strength was "not controlled well", no matter whether it was accidental or intentional, the losses would be borne by himself. Manhattan would not do such a thing. So Manhattan simply chose to skip this sentence.
Carsen glanced at him again and said nothing in the end.
It is no exaggeration to say that although it was a joke, if Manhattan really dared to agree, he would really dare to let Manhattan and Jacket fight.
While a few people were chatting, Jack on the stage showed his prowess and defeated more than a dozen famous pirates.
When it comes to people inside the Lion Kingdom, Jacket was quite restrained in his actions. At most, they were only slightly injured and had a few bloody marks on their bodies.
But for those foreign merchant guards and other pirates, they were not so lucky.
"Bloody Tiger King" Jacket, the former captain of the Golden Lion Pirates, has the bloodiest battle scenes, no doubt about it.
The appearance of Jacket meant a sea of blood and corpses within a hundred miles. Especially in the early years when he just followed the Golden Lion, Jacket had an extraordinary desire for blood and war.
Bathing in blood and their fearful gazes can make Jacket feel a pleasure that surpasses anything in the world.
Even though the battle could be easily ended by simply slashing the throat with the tiger's claws, it was preferable to cut off the enemy's limbs and watch him slowly die in a pool of blood.
Although Jacket has restrained himself a lot, for example, towards Mr. Tomahawk, a promising younger generation of the Golden Lion Pirates, Jacket is not stingy with his kindness and tolerance.
But for external challengers, Jacket will defend the dignity of the Lion Kingdom with blood.
In the blink of an eye, the entire ground of the arena had been torn into countless cracks by the tiger's claws, and broken pieces of corpse powder were scattered everywhere.
"Thirty-six consecutive victories, Lord Tiger King has achieved thirty-six consecutive victories. Who else is willing to challenge Lord Tiger King!"
……
Ignoring the noise in the arena, Carsen and Carlton sat quietly in their chairs, watching the scene below.
Anna and her friends had already gone to the chess and card room at the back to relax. They had no interest in such a bloody scene.
"Well, Carlton, if I let you go, how long can you last?"
Carsent placed his right hand lightly on the table, turned his head to look at Carlton beside him, and asked casually.
It was not a question from a superior about the ability of his subordinates, but just a simple chat.
"In a normal duel, I will definitely lose."
"In a life-and-death duel, there is a very small chance that I will die and he will be disabled. There is a high chance that I will be injured in exchange for my life."
Carlton was silent for a moment, then answered briefly.
"It's okay. I'm already quite hungry. Jacket has been in the New World for a long time. Strictly speaking, he is a strong man who is a generation ahead of you."
“It’s pretty good to be able to do this.”
Carsente smiled and patted Carlton on the shoulder.
This sentence is not just a consolation, but a fact. The captain of the second division of the Golden Lion Pirates is comparable to Diamond Joz of the Whitebeard Pirates and Plague Queen of the Beasts Pirates in the future Four Emperors era.
Stronger than an elite lieutenant general, but slightly weaker than an imperial vice-admiral.
With Carlton's current strength, he is indeed no match for him.
However, Carlton's decisiveness when he mentioned "trading life for injury" made Carsent very satisfied.
A swordsman should have the courage to move forward and the spirit to kill anything, so that he can go further.
