## One Piece Chapter 708, pages 9-10: Colosseum of Knaves - Chapter: 708 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Franky, Tank Lepanto, Abdullah, Jeet, Elizabello II, Dagama ### Summary Page 9: Luffy dangles outside the wall after escaping the uproar, frustrated that staying hidden is becoming impossible. He remembers the promise he made and thinks, "Even though I promised Franky I wouldn't let anyone know who I was..." Nearby voices wonder about him: "Like the pirate, 'Strawhat Luffy'!?" "Is he a participant!?" "No way." Luffy hangs there with a small "Dangle" and mutters, "Dammit..." The chapter then returns to B-block, where the eliminations continue at brutal speed. The announcer calls, "And Tank is down!!" identifying him as "Squad Commander of Dressrosa's Self Defense Army!!" The audience reacts, "Oh..." and the announcer explains, "He fell prey to the brutality of Abdullah and Jeet!!" The result is final: "Tank Lepanto is out of the running!!!" B-block is no longer a clean contest of famous fighters; it has become a field where dirty tactics and sudden ambushes are cutting down even national soldiers. Page 10: The crowd groans for Tank Lepanto as Abdullah and Jeet celebrate with cruel laughter. The shouts come from all sides: "Squad Commander Tank!!" and "Nothing but dirty tricks from them!" The pair answer with mocking joy, "Hoi!! Shihaha haha," while another cry of "Wah" follows the collapse. The announcer stresses how fast the field is thinning: "In no time at all, over 100 contestants have been eliminated." Only a fraction remain: "Only 30 remain in the ring!!" Around the battlefield, recognizable fighters are still standing. Elizabello II stays composed, his punch still being saved, as his tactician says, "Just a bit more...! No matter which troublesome bastards are still standing, as long as we have the King Punch..." Others continue fighting and shouting, "Who's next!?" and "Who wants their blood spilled!!?" while another fighter calls, "Hyao!!" The page presents B-block as a ruthless narrowing of the field, where traps, raw strength, and patience all compete at once.
