Your Prostate Will Be Restored In 3 Days! Do This Every Night! Proman
For the treasure on the pirate ship, Rin had no interest in robbing it outright, as long as he received his share.
After nearly ten minutes of flight using Geppo (Moonwalk), Rin landed with 100 million Berries in hand and left.
One man entered Arthur Island.
Behind him, Gar excitedly took the Zoan-type Tanuki Devil Fruit and sailed away with the ship.
But neither of them could have predicted that they would meet again in the future—under circumstances that would greatly surprise Rin.
(Guess what? Gar will be connected to the protagonist later on. Also, can anyone guess what the Tanuki Fruit's ability is? Haha, you won't see it coming!)
...
"This is Arthur Island, the so-called 'Island of Knights'?!"
Rin walked through the city on Arthur Island. The buildings had a medieval European aesthetic, reminiscent of the grand castles and fortified structures of Dressrosa or the noble districts of Mary Geoise. The streets were bustling with people, far more crowded than he had expected.
No—
To be precise, it wasn't just the residents. There were many outsiders, most of whom exuded a strong aura. Many had well-developed physiques, battle-hardened expressions, and the bearing of seasoned warriors. A quick scan revealed that dozens of them stood out, clearly not ordinary travelers.
"Why are so many powerful people gathered here?" Rin mused.
Curious, he approached a street vendor selling fruit.
"Excuse me, sir. It seems like many people here are from different places, and they all look quite strong. Why is that?" Rin asked with a friendly smile.
"Oh? You don't know? You must be a newcomer," the vendor said, chuckling as he handed an apple to another customer.
"I just arrived. It's my first time on Arthur Island," Rin admitted.
The vendor nodded knowingly. "That explains it. It's because of the annual Arthur Island Tournament."
"A tournament? What kind?" Rin's interest piqued.
"It's the Strongest Knight Competition, organized by the royal family. Both locals and outsiders can participate, as long as they have the strength. The prize is an opportunity to enter the royal forbidden land. No one knows exactly what happens inside, but every warrior who has entered and returned has come out significantly stronger."
"Hm… intriguing." Rin's curiosity grew. He looked at the vendor and asked, "When does the competition start?"
"In two days. Thinking of joining, lad?" The vendor eyed Rin skeptically.
"Yeah." Rin grinned.
The vendor sighed. "I'd advise against it. The participants are all monsters. You may be young and confident, but this isn't child's play."
Rin simply smiled in return and walked away without responding.
...
"The Strongest Knight Competition? Interesting."
Walking along the bustling streets, Rin couldn't help but smirk. While he didn't fully understand the significance of the tournament, his instincts told him that winning it would bring immense benefits.
Besides, challenging strong opponents would accelerate his growth.
Shaking off unnecessary thoughts, he focused on finding a hotel. Two days would pass quickly, and he planned to use that time for training.
...
Two days later.
Rin woke up early and made his way to the competition grounds.
At the venue, registration had already begun, and the tournament was set to start at 10 AM. After signing up, Rin found a seat and waited.
During the wait, he debated whether to open the daily system rewards he had saved up. Ultimately, he decided to hoard them for later, believing that the more he accumulated, the higher his chances of obtaining valuable items.
It was now 7 AM.
Three hours remained until the tournament began.
As time passed, more and more warriors arrived to register.
By the time the deadline hit, the total number of participants had reached exactly 120—a clean, round number.
Soon after, tournament officials announced the competition format:
Round 1: Contestants were divided into four arenas, with 30 participants in each. A chaotic free-for-all battle would determine the top 20 in each group, eliminating a total of 40 fighters.
Round 2: The remaining 80 participants would undergo another mass battle, reducing the number to 40.
Round 3: Another melee would further trim the competitors down to just 16.
Round 4: The survivors would engage in a battle royale, with the top 8 proceeding to the next round.
Round 5: The final 8 warriors would face off in structured one-on-one duels to determine the champion.
A fiery gleam flashed in Rin's eyes as he listened to the rules.
"A survival-style battle? This will be fun."
