My first fight on the 200th floor was against a man called Sadaso. He was one of the cripples and the most normal one. He lost his left arm when he first arrived on the 200th floor and fighting against an opponent in Nen fight. He had black sclera and very narrow eyes, giving him an eerie feeling. He had a husky voice, and he had this confidence in his voice. Year after year, these three were fighting against the newbies and keeping their place on the 200th floor.
I walked to the ring, and my opponent was already there, waiting for me with a smile. I could crush his soul with this fight, but I didn't want to show too much strength to scare off other two. I decided to take it easy.
After we both arrived Speaker announced us and summarized our previous fights. Because of these three only fighting against newbies their win rate was very high. Betting was in my favor, and I decided to play on myself, by some spectator I beguiled before I came to the stage. I was rich, but more money wouldn't hurt.
I walked to the stage and stood against the man named Sadaso. I learned that he was Transmuter by some detective work I did before I came to the fight. I was confident against these three buffoons, giving even Gon won easily against them, when he had almost no special ability. I had too many techniques to fight against them, yet knowing your enemy was essential.
After the referee gave the signal, Sadaso attacked me with his fist, enchanted with his aura. I wanted to take slowly, so I escape from his attacks by a hairs-breadth. I took the hits from time to time, and I punched him few times. After some time, he started to use his Nen.
His Nen power was transmuting his aura to sugar-like sticky liquid. As soon as I contact with that liquid, my feets stuck to the ground and my clothes stuck on me. It was hard to move. I used Fire Chakra to vaporize the liquid, and it was successful. I wanted to see more, but this was all he got, so I stall a little longer before won against him.
After the fight, I went to collect my money from the spectator I beguiled earlier. He was waiting where I told him to wait with my Devil Fruit. Because it was my first fight on the 200th floor the bet rate was very good. But the next day the bet wasn't in my favor. It was even with my opponent, but the bet draw was very high. I was about to go draw because of the money, but I overcame my greed and walked to the ring.
My opponent this time was a man named Gido. Gido lost lower half of his body when he first came to the 200th floor. He had metal prosthetic peg leg instead of his lower body. And jumping on it with the help of a cane. He was wearing a red robe and conical hat from his torso up, and a breathing mask underneath it. He threw 10 spinning tops as soon as he arrived at the ring and they started to spin around him. When the referee gave the signal, he directed them to me.

Gido was an Enhancer. He was enhancing spinning tops with his aura to make them a deadly weapon. But he also had the %60 affinity to manipulation, and he was using this to move the spinning tops. When the 10 spinning tops surrounded me, Gido stopped controlling them and waited. This was his signature technique. Even without his control, spinning tops would hit each other and fly towards random directions. Even Gido didn't know their flight direction.
Because Gido wasn't controlling them to fight with me, my Observation Haki couldn't sense this random attacks. And dealing with 10 was easy, but if Gido decided to release more, I would be in danger. I had a few plans but all of them taxing on my body. Flashing constantly to dodge them for example, or staying in Phantom form. I could also try to see future with my Observation Haki. Even with the half second, I could dodge them. Yet all would deplete my stamina quickly.
I didn't want to win easily, but I had no choice. I threw a kunai to Gido, and he started to spin like his spinning tops. His momentum was so great, I couldn't land a punch on him. Nonetheless, I flashed to the Kunai and took out my Very Good Sword, and filled it with Wind Chakra. When I arrived at the Gido, I cut his prosthetic peg leg from the middle and kicked him out of the ring when he lost his balance. All fight didn't take more than a minute.
As I guessed, after I win easily, the last of the three, didn't show up in the next fight, and I won it too. Having three consecutive wins in three days was a big feat. Making it hard to find the next opponent. There were left only a bunch of strong opponents would accept the duel, and they were very strong, and they were master at using Nen. Making them hard opponents for me. I had to fight in 90 days, so I scheduled a fight to exactly three months later.
After the 100th floor, every fighter would have their own rooms. On the 200th floor, these rooms were much extensive and luxury. I sat in the pool in my room after the fight. The pool had rose petals swimming on it. There was the smell of orange coming mixed with rose, remind me of the good times I had in Endless Love.
I dismiss the girls I started to form in my head, and started to think about my Nen power. The power had to be decided after learning my Nen type, but I was thinking about something would help me. I was already strong, maybe I could have auxiliary power. Then again, I had my hard times against strong opponents, having a strong finishing move, might be more effective.
As I was thinking about my Nen power, all the rose petals started to decay. I realized I started to release my Ren without even noticing it. I looked at the memories that Pakunoda sent with Memory Bullet. The reason for petals decay was because of my Nen power. Turned out, one of the way finding the Nen type was Water Divination. And I used Water Divination without realizing it, and my Nen type is Specialization!
