Chapter 484 The Martial Dao Conference That Can't Be Avoided! (3/3)
"I said you guys... can't you consider my own wishes!" Seeing that the four of them finally put aside their consensus, Sanji said depressedly.
"Hehe, you can choose not to leave with us, but you can't stop us from coming to save you!"
"Hey, how many times do you have to say it to you before you understand that this is not saving me at all, but pushing me into the fire pit. If something happens to you, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life!"
"Don't worry, Sanji, we are not idiots like Luffy. If we really want to face monsters like Nightmare, we will never rely solely on our own power."
"Yes, don't forget that the city under our feet has gathered the strong people from all over the world, and most of those people have an endless hatred for Nightmare."
"But……"
Seeing that Sanji was still arguing, Zoro interrupted: "Idiot, if you are really worried about us, why not tell us some useful information. You have been here for two years and you will not know nothing!"
"...Okay, but you have to promise me that if you are not sure, don't act rashly!" Sanji, who knew Luffy and others' personalities, had to agree.
"Although I don't know much, based on my experiences over the past two years, I still have some guesses in my heart."
Sanji took a deep breath: "If you really want to defeat Nightmare, the best way is to kill his body directly!"
"But... Nightmare's clone already has a powerful combat power that is comparable to or even surpasses the level one of the Four Emperors. Then isn't his body even more terrifyingly strong?"
"I heard that in the top war two years ago, Nightmare alone dragged down four general-level combat power. Shouldn't such a terrible enemy weaken the combat power of the body by killing his clone?"
"Also, Nightmare usually shows itself as a clone. Unless there is another situation of war on the top, we can't find it even if we want to find him."
"As far as I know, in addition to the palace on the open, this royal city has a more magnificent temple underground, which is a taboo area that almost everyone cannot reach. If I guess correctly, the essence of the nightmare is sleeping there!" Sanji said firmly.
"Hiss... Is there a temple under this land?"
"However, what do you mean by Sanji?
"In my opinion, Nightmare must have paid an unimaginable heavy price to defeat the navy by one's own strength two years ago, so it will be completely silent in the past two years. The place he chose to recover from should be the underground temple!"
Sanji guessed: "The nightmare now may be his weakest moment!"
"That's great, then if we spread this news, the nightmare enemy will definitely rush into the underground temple and kill him!" Usopp said excitedly.
"Don't! Two years have passed, Nightmare has shown signs of recovery. His frequent clone is the best proof. If you break in rashly, it may wake up the nightmare in advance." Sanji stopped him with a slightly changed face.
"Indeed, we also discovered the existence of the underground temple and even tried to make people sneak in, but in the end they were blocked by an invisible force. If we forcefully break in, it would be very likely to disturb the enemy." A gentle voice suddenly appeared in the room, which made several people wake up instantly.
"I'm sorry, everyone, I was worried that you came here after hearing what Kerra said, not intentionally eavesdropping."
"Sabor!" Luffy said in surprise.
"You are... I remembered that you are Xiao Yiyi's friend. Has Xiao Yiyi come too?" Sanji showed a happy smile on his face.
"...Uh!" Everyone's faces froze, thinking that it would be better not to reveal the cruel fact, as it would be too cruel to Sanji!
Sabo smiled awkwardly, "No...no, I'm the only one, ahem, let's continue with the previous topic!"
"What should I do? Infiltrating secretly will be blocked by the invisible force, and forcibly intruding will disturb the enemy. Isn't this a dead end?" Nami quickly changed the topic as if she were in a slight way.
"According to the information our revolutionary army has found in the past two years, the invisible force that enveloped the underground temple is a force called barrier set up by nightmare. Unless it collapses from the inside, it will be difficult for simple external forces to break it!"
Sabo shook his head and said, "However, the one who can enter the temple must be the absolute confidant of Nightmare. With their fanaticism about Nightmare, there is no possibility of betrayal at all!"
Just when everyone was at a loss, Sanji suddenly said weakly.
"Maybe, I might know something!"
Seeing everyone's eyes coming, Sanji did not hide it. "I believe everyone already knows that according to the official statement given by the Dream Kingdom, there are too many people who sign up for this martial arts conference. If you fight in two groups, it may not be enough for three months, so the game will be a melee."
"Divid 100 battle zones, each battle zone retains the last 3 players as winners, and will automatically advance to the finals."
"Martial Arts Conference? But does this have anything to do with the barrier we are talking about?" Usopp asked with a confused look on his face.
"Of course it's related, because the battlefield in the final is the palace above the temple!"
"The Palace? Nightmare is really willing to let go. He is not worried about being homeless after the battle?" Nami teased.
"The temple...abo?" Sabo murmured with a solemn expression when he heard this, "Is there a certain inevitable connection between the martial arts conference and the sleep of nightmare?"
"I don't know either, but Lei Jiu once warned me not to attend this martial arts conference. After repeated questioning, she revealed two words, "Sacrifice!"
"Sacrifice? Is that legend true?" Sabo changed color in horror when he heard this.
"legend?"
"Well, in theory, the characters at the level of the Four Emperors are already strong to the limit in all aspects. Even if the white beard in the peak state faces them, it is impossible for them to crush their faces. But nightmare is different. In front of his body, the so-called highest combat power is a joke. He is really powerful to the point of being unreasonable!"
"So, there are rumors that the reason why Nightmare is so strong is because he once gained power beyond humanity from the magic sword at the cost of sacrifice to a race!"
"Present... sacrifice to a race!" Usopp swallowed his saliva with difficulty. This kind of enemy is really too cruel!
"In this way, is he going to hold a martial arts conference this time to sacrifice again at the cost of the strong men from all over the world?" Zoro was also shocked by this terrible ambition.
"Hmph! I knew that Nightmare was not that kind-hearted, and what shocked the fruits, the supreme fast sword, and the treasures that were rich enough to rival the country were all his bait!" Nami said depressedly.
"So should we notify others now and let them dispel the idea of participating in the competition!"
"The notice must be notified, but it is not to prevent them from participating. Because, according to the news we found out on Aska Island, the sacrifice process cannot be interrupted. If it is forced to interrupt, the sword holder will be subjected to a terrifying backlash!"
Sabo resolutely said: "In other words, if we want to completely defeat Nightmare, this world's No. 1 Martial Arts Conference may be our only chance!"
...
"The Son of Destiny... Martial Arts Conference... Nightmare... Sacrifice... Interesting!" A shadow in the corner of the wall gradually disappeared.
