"Oh, the moment we've all been waiting for has finally arrived! Once the referee calls for the match to begin, the fight will start immediately!" The commentator girl shouted enthusiastically.
The audience responded with passionate cheers. Meanwhile, around the world, most people were watching this moment through their TVs, computers, phones, and even radios, which broadcasted the live commentary.
The media and Heavens Arena had put in a lot of effort to promote this event, and it had paid off. This was indeed a rare spectacle.
Everyone who knew Law, no matter where they were, watched the fight on the ring through the broadcast.
Even Netero had temporarily set aside his duties to sit in a quiet room and watch the live stream, with Beans by his side.
'Chairman really pays a lot of attention to Law.' Beans thought to himself as he watched Law, who has a calm expression on the screen.
Back at the venue.
The referee took five steps back, a gesture indicating that the match was about to begin.
Then, he raised his hands and shouted, "Begin!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he quickly retreated and jumped off the ring.
Depending on the strength of the fighters, referees usually chose to either stay on the ring or jump off. However, today's fighter is Sandy, so the referee naturally wouldn't stay on the ring.
"The match has begun! But neither fighter has moved yet!"
After the referee left the ring, Law immediately activated Ken, then his Aura flowed smoothly and enveloped his body.
On the other side, Sandy also activated Ken.
Among the viewers watching the live broadcast were experts like Netero and Silva. When they saw the Ken Law was using, they nodded slightly in approval.
"It seems Biscuit taught him well."
Netero said with a smile, holding a cup of tea.
On the ring, Sandy stood within his fluctuating Aura. He looked at Law and sneered, "You're an important stepping stone for me. Don't worry, I'll leave you alive."
After saying that, Sandy suddenly moved and charged straight towards Law. As he ran, his chest puffed up.
"Sandy is taking the initiative! But Law isn't moving at all! It must be known that Sandy is the man known as the Pyromaniac!" The commentator's voice resounded throughout the venue.
Seeing Law standing still, Sandy snorted in his heart. He didn't expect that even after watching the official highlights, Law was still being so arrogant!
Law knew exactly what Sandy was planning to do. He also knew what the puffed-up chest meant. Precisely because he knew, he remained unmoved.
'Spitting gasoline, igniting it, and then using Nen to increase its range and power. It's stronger than ordinary flames, but in the end, it's still just fire.' Law thought as he stood in place, adopting an attacking stance.
At this moment, Sandy suddenly spewed gasoline from his mouth, then swung his head, spraying a fan-shaped mist of liquid into the air.
After spraying the gasoline, Sandy's puffed-up chest deflated, and his dark, cold claws slashed through the air, sparking tiny flames that instantly ignited the gasoline still suspended in the air.
"It's here! It's Sandy's Pyro Feast!"
In an instant, clusters of flames erupted in the air. The scale wasn't large, and it didn't seem like it could harm anyone.
But in the next second, when Sandy infused his Nen into the flames, the audience both in the venue and in front of their TVs erupted into thunderous cheers.
A terrifying wave of fire formed in the blink of an eye, radiating intense heat as it surged toward Law on the other side of the ring.
Watching this fiery wave through the live broadcast, viewers at home even felt a wave of heat rushing toward them.
This move, Pyro Feast, was always Sandy's opening move. The high-temperature flames, capable of covering half the ring, were enough to force his opponent into a desperate retreat off the ring.
In this vast world, there were many strange and bizarre phenomena. One such example was the various peculiar cravings of pica syndrome.
Sandy was someone who had suffered from pica syndrome, but what he craved wasn't food… it was gasoline!
His physiological symptoms were abnormal, and so was his body structure. His craving and need for gasoline had led him to start drinking it from a young age, yet his body showed no adverse effects.
There were many strange cases like Sandy's around the world, though other patients might crave things like iron, copper, or even alcohol.
As he got older, his symptoms gradually subsided. After coming into contact with Nen, Sandy developed his own unique Nen.
He is a Transmuter, but his Nen had a more tangible presence, though it was often overshadowed by his methods of using it.
"If you can't dodge Pyro Feast, you've already lost your chance."
Sandy sneered coldly and looked at the flames that had already engulfed Law. He felt that the outcome of this battle was already obvious.
Seeing the flames raging, the audience who had bet on Sandy erupted into celebration.
"Oh my! Law didn't dodge the flames! Has he already been consumed by the fire?" The commentator exclaimed with clear surprise.
But at that moment, the cheers in the venue came to an abrupt halt, because the roaring flames that could easily engulf a large villa vanished in an instant.
It didn't disappear slowly, but disappeared in an instant!
This sudden turn of events left the audience, who had thought Sandy had won, completely stunned.
The flames were erased from existence as if wiped away by an eraser, and Law emerged unscathed. In the same instant the flames disappeared, he dashed toward Sandy.
Raising his hand, he threw a punch!
Law's fist, which is wrapped in a dense Aura, struck Sandy squarely in the stomach. Sandy vomited a mixture of gasoline and blood before being sent flying off the ring, crashing straight into the wall separating the audience seats.
With a loud boom, the wall shattered, and dust filled the air.
Half of Sandy's body was buried under the rubble of the wall, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead.
The previous second, Sandy had unleashed his Pyro Feast and engulfed Law with a terrifying wave of flames, but at the next second, the massive flames were erased as if wiped away by an eraser.
Then, Law closed the distance in an instant and sent Sandy flying off the ring with a single punch. The entire sequence of events happened so suddenly!
The audience in the venue was completely stunned. Even the professional referee was momentarily frozen, and the female commentator was left speechless, her mouth hanging open.
The incomprehensible scene silenced the previously roaring venue, leaving it eerily quiet.
Law stood on the ring, retracting his fist as he looked toward where Sandy had landed.
At that moment, the camera focused on Law, giving him a close-up.
Through the live broadcast, countless viewers outside the venue saw Law's calm expression, and there was no sign of burns on his body.
'How had he managed to survive such raging flames?'
The audience in the venue was utterly baffled, and those watching from home were even more clueless about what had just happened.
