## One Piece Chapter 704, pages 5-6: Lucy and the Statue of Kyros - Chapter: 704 - Pages: 5-6 - Characters: Abdullah, Jeet, Slayman, Orlumbus, Bellamy, Bartolomeo, Cavendish, Donquixote Doflamingo, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 5: The parade of contenders continues. Abdullah and Jeet are named as "former bounty hunters involved in the bombing of a government institution!!" Neck-Chopper Slayman is introduced as "the A-rank war criminal from the sea battle of Dias," and Orlumbus the Ruler as "the made-up massacre adventurer!!" Bellamy appears too, announced as "the brutal 'over 100 million' pirate!! Bellamy the Hyena!!" and noted as entering "on recommendation by the Donquixote Family." The crowd expects every one of these men to be plotting. "Think none of them are plotting anything!? I expect that even you are!!" someone says. Another adds that "the insane rookie from one year ago, 'Balto Romeo', are also said to be participating," while someone else notes, "And although they're not here right now, the nobleman pirate... Cavendish" is among the threats. Page 6: The rules of the first stage become clear: "The first round is a battle royale!!" Only survivors have any chance. The announcement lays it out: "A-block is about to start!! Totaling 4-block up with B-, C-, and D-blocks... Out of over 550 fighters, after the first round... only four winners will emerge!!" The stakes narrow brutally: hundreds of fighters, four paths forward, one Devil Fruit at the end. Luffy asks, "What block am I in?" The attendant replies, "I believe we already informed you at the registry desk, but... You're number 556, in C-block." Nearby, someone points out suspicious planning: "And you two... you bribed your way into the same block, yes?" The answer is dismissed as "Pure coincidence." Over all of it, the announcer declares, "Without any further ado, let's get out there and do our best, ladies and gents!!" Tomorrow, someone says, "the world will shift a bit," depending on whose hands the Mera Mera no Mi falls into.
