Gods of Football

Team 4 didn't back down. Giyuu sent a long ground pass to Uzui, who controlled it skillfully. Uzui performed a dazzling roulette spin, getting past Shunsui and Sanji.

As he reached the edge of the box, Uzui delivered a pinpoint cross to Einar, who jumped high for a bicycle kick. The shot was powerful, smashing past the goalkeeper.

Score: 2-1 (Team 4)

Sanji, irritated by the last goal, took matters into his own hands. He skillfully used a rainbow flick to pass over Giyuu's head and sprinted forward.

"Luffy, catch!" Sanji called out, delivering a crisp ground cross. Luffy intercepted and shot a powerful knuckleball, the ball dipping and weaving unpredictably before slamming into the net.

Score: 2-2

Uzui smirked. "Alright, time to turn it up!" He dribbled up the wing, weaving through Sanji and Shunsui with a series of quick stepovers. Spotting Giyuu running into the box, he delivered a sharp trivela cross.

Giyuu didn't hesitate, timing his run perfectly and connecting with a scorpion kick, sending the ball flying into the top corner of the goal.

Score: 3-2 (Team 4)

Luffy grabbed the ball and used Gear Second, boosting his speed as he raced past Einar and Uzui. Giyuu attempted to stop him, but Luffy stretched his leg to pull off a curve shot from the edge of the box.

The ball curled magnificently into the goal, equalizing the score again.

Score: 3-3

Einar took the ball from kick-off, shielding it from Luffy with his raw strength. He passed to Uzui, who flicked the ball over Shunsui's head and caught it on the other side.

Uzui delivered a low driven cross to Giyuu, who struck a powerful volley, but Sanji blocked it. The deflection landed back at Uzui's feet. With a flashy spin, Uzui fired a reverse shot that slipped past the goalkeeper.

Score: 4-3 (Team 4)

Team 4 dominated possession as Uzui and Giyuu played a quick give-and-go to dismantle Team 77's defense. Uzui broke down the wing and delivered a long, looping cross to Einar.

Einar, seeing an opportunity, let the ball bounce and then struck a thunderous half-volley, blasting it into the net.

Score: 5-3 (Team 4)

Uzui looked at Team 77 and grinned. "I'll take the cook," he said, pointing to Sanji.

Sanji reluctantly joined Team 4, while Luffy and Shunsui were sent to the Losers Area.

New Team 4:

Giyuu Tomioka Tengen Uzui Einar Sanji

The next match starts with the players being 

Team 5:

Shikamaru (Naruto) Roronoa Zoro (One Piece) Esil (Solo Leveling)

Team 73:

Killua Zoldyck (Hunter x Hunter) Byakuya Kuchiki (Bleach) Levi Ackerman (Attack on Titan)

The whistle blew, and Shinra launched forward, his Adolla Burst igniting beneath his feet as he rocketed toward the ball. But before he could make his next move, Killua flickered in front of him in an instant, his Godspeed activating. With a quick swipe, Killua stole the ball with his toes and sent it flying toward Byakuya.

"Tch, too slow," Killua taunted as he zipped away, already positioning himself for a pass.

Byakuya, as calm as ever, flicked his wrist, using his incredible reflexes to trap the ball before sending it into the air with a well-placed touch. Levi dashed up the right side, signaling for a pass.

"Give it here," Levi demanded, already planning his next move.

Byakuya sent a perfectly weighted lob toward him, but as Levi prepared to bring it down, a blur of green and black cut in.

"Yeah, nah," Zoro muttered as he snatched the ball mid-air with a powerful scissor kick. He sent it back across the field toward Esil, who barely reacted in time to trap it.

"Yo, warn me next time!" Esil yelled, nearly fumbling the ball.

"You got eyes, don't you?" Zoro shot back.

Esil, scowling, dribbled forward, but Killua was already on him, his speed making it impossible to shake him off. Esil tried to pass, but Killua lunged, poking the ball loose with a sharp heel kick.

"You're too slow."

Shinra saw an opening and exploded forward, sending a shockwave through the field as he intercepted the ball before Killua could fully recover. With an insane burst of acceleration, he launched into the air and unleashed a mid-air bicycle kick, the ball rocketing toward the goal with flames trailing behind it.

Levi reacted instantly. Using his ODM gear, he fired his hooks into the goalpost and launched himself toward the ball. With a spinning kick, he managed to barely redirect it—but not enough.

The ball slammed into the net.

GOAL! 1-0 TEAM 5!

Killua scoffed, wiping sweat from his forehead.

"We're not losing to a bunch of muscleheads," he growled.

Byakuya sighed. "Then let's be more precise. I'll control the pace."

The match restarted, and this time, Team 73 played more tactically. Byakuya dictated the midfield, using swift one-touch passes to disrupt Team 5's aggressive style.

Levi, now adapting, used his agility and reflexes to maneuver around Esil with ease. With a swift cut to the left, he lined up for a shot.

But before he could strike, Zoro barreled into him with brute force, shoulder-checking him off balance.

"What the hell, swordsman?!" Levi barked, shoving Zoro back.

"Tch, you expect me to just let you take a clean shot?" Zoro smirked.

The ref let it go—no foul. The ball, however, was loose. Killua sprinted in, his Godspeed activating again as he snatched it away from the chaos. With a lightning-quick step-over, he sent Shinra the wrong way before curling a beautiful shot into the top corner.

GOAL! 1-1!

The game continued with back-and-forth possession, trash talk flying between players. Every goal came with a clash of personalities.

Byakuya scored with a perfectly placed finesse shot, curving it just past Shinra's fingertips.

Shinra answered with a long-range knuckleball shot that wobbled in the air before slamming into the net.

Zoro, tired of the defensive game, bulldozed through Killua, shoving past him with sheer strength before rifling in a shot off the crossbar.

"Get your weight up, kid," Zoro grinned.

Killua responded by humiliating Esil, nutmegging him twice in the same possession before casually passing it off to Levi, who smashed it in with a volley.

The score reached 6-6. Next goal wins.

Killua, breathing heavily, locked eyes with Shinra.

"This is it."

Shinra grinned, fire flickering around his feet. "Then don't blink."

The final possession was pure chaos. Zoro and Levi clashed physically, neither giving an inch. Byakuya and Esil battled in the midfield, their different playstyles countering each other.

Then, Killua broke through.

He zipped past Esil, dodging a desperate slide tackle from Shinra. With an impossible flick, he chipped the ball over Zoro and landed right under it.

He grinned.

"Game over."

With a flash of blue lightning, he whipped an outside-foot trivela shot from distance. The ball curved, bending mid-air with unnatural speed before slamming into the net.

GOAL! TEAM 73 WINS! 7-6!

Zoro clenched his fists. "Tch. Dammit."

Shikamaru sighed. "We were close."

Esil looked pissed, kicking the ground. "Maybe if someone actually passed instead of trying to solo everything—"

Zoro immediately turned to him. "You saying that to me?"

Esil didn't back down. "Yeah, I am! You just ran straight at people like an idiot! No teamwork, no plan, just swinging at everything!"

Zoro cracked his knuckles. "I got us six goals. What the hell did you do?"

Shikamaru quickly stepped between them. "Chill. No point in fighting now."

Killua smirked, walking over. "That was fun." He glanced at the losing team, thinking. "I'll take…" he looked between them before pointing. "Shikamaru."

Shikamaru, sighed. "What a drag." He walked over to Team 73, now their newest member.

Esil and Zoro, meanwhile, were sent to the Losers Area.

Byakuya dusted himself off. "Let's move on."

Team 73 advanced. Team 5 was eliminated.

The tournament continued.
