Corrida Colosseum

The Corrida Colosseum is a colosseum owned by the Donquixote Family that is located somewhere in Dressrosa.

History
This stadium is usually used for fights and competitions. This is where Diamante took part and won in his fighting tournaments, thus earning his title, "Hero of the Colosseum".

When the Straw Hat Pirates landed on Dressrosa, a competition over the Mera Mera no Mi held by the Donquixote Pirates was starting here. A lot of gladiators from the Donquixote Family, various countries, factiones and pirate crews, included Lucy, participate to it.

Layout


The Colosseum features a round stage surrounded by water, with four cardinal walkways leading to the stage. There are three levels of seating for the audience all around the Colosseum. On one of the cardinal edges is three monitors for the participants' announcements and presentation.

As a rule lain out by the Donquixote Family, the police and Marines alike cannot enter the Colosseum, even if a criminal is clearly within its perimeters, leaving their authority null and void so long as the criminal in question has at least one foot inside. Any authoritative members who violates this law will become criminals themselves.

Staff
The Coliseum is managed by gladiator-themed staff and by the toys from the outside. They are taught to disciplne order within the establishment, and have no tolerance for ruckus. Because of that, they are granted the power to disqualify any unruly particapants if they so see fit.
