Since the title of the Five Emperors was intentionally exaggerated and fabricated, it means that Luffy didn't defeat Big Mom after all. So, the one Luffy truly defeated was Doflamingo?!
Doflamingo's expression turned ugly upon hearing this result. He felt humiliated in his own world. Doflamingo stares intensely at the Straw Hat Pirates on the live broadcast for a while, took a deep breath, and then calmed down.
He made a mental note of this incident, but whether or not he should make a move would depend on the actions of the Marines. He wouldn't be the first to act. If he acted impulsively, it would likely result in a world where only Doflamingo got hurt.
Meanwhile, at the Arlong Park, the final question ended with Nami's answer. The current situation was that the Straw Hat Pirates answered all five questions correctly, while the other three factions had a score of zero.
This result filled the Straw Hat crew with excitement but left the Arlong Pirates and Rear Admiral Nezumi dissatisfied. They felt that the questions were biassed towards Luffy, as they were all related to him. Naturally, when the questions were about oneself, it was advantageous to answer them.
They felt a strong sense of injustice but dared not voice their grievances due to the pressure exerted by Luo ke. They had tried before but were forcefully suppressed by the opposing side. They could only keep their dissatisfaction to themselves.
However,Arlong remained undeterred. He shifted his gaze to Nami, remembering that she had answered one question correctly. This meant that there was a reward for her, and he planned to figure out a way to snatch Nami's reward for himself later.
Nami's weakness lies in the villagers of Cocoyasi Village, which is easily resolved. Not only that, but there's also the Straw Hat crew.
While others may fear their background, they are not afraid. They are Fish-Men, and the greatest advantage of Fish-Men is their ability to go underwater. The sea is vast, and once they dive into the ocean, no one can find them.
If it weren't for the fact that Tiger set fire to Mary Geoise in order to return the human to the village, he wouldn't have fallen into the trap and been killed. Once they enter the sea, it's impossible to capture them.
Therefore, he can easily kill and plunder after the live broadcast, take the treasure for himself, and then escape into the sea without a trace.
He has also figured it out. After this live broadcast, his position will be exposed. The Arlong Park is no longer a safe place, so he must find another location as a stronghold.
But first, he must make his move and then leave.
...
"There were a total of five questions in this live broadcast, and now they have all been answered. Congratulations to the Straw Hat Pirates for answering all of them correctly. You will receive all the rewards for this quiz.
As usual, before that, we will play video clips related to the questions.
Since the five questions in this quiz are not directly related to each other and do not constitute a complete event like the Summit War, but rather small parts of different events, only some footage has been selected.
Now, please enjoy the selected clips of Luffy's pirate journey."
At this moment, the screens of live broadcasts worldwide suddenly turned black, just like before.
After a short while, images appeared on the black screens, showing a young Luffy in his childhood.
A group of mountain bandits arrived in the village and captured Luffy, intending to sell him off since he had consumed a Devil Fruit.
The village chief of Windmill Village knew that the bandits were after money, so he offered to buy Luffy back.
Just as the bandits were about to agree to the village chief's request, a fearless young Luffy taunted and insulted the bandits, which angered them and made them want to execute him on the spot.
However, at that moment, Shanks arrived, and a conflict broke out between them to save Luffy. But the bandits were no match for Shanks and his crew and were easily defeated.
As the bandits found themselves unable to defeat Shanks and his crew, their leader, Captain Higuma, took Luffy hostage and planned to escape by boat, rowing out to sea.
Thinking that Luffy was useless now, Captain Higuma kicked him into the sea, intending to feed him to the fish.
However, what he didn't notice was a gaping mouth opening behind him, swallowing him and the boat in one gulp.
But it wasn't over yet. The Sea King, who had just devoured the bandit captain, now charged towards Luffy. In a critical moment, Red-Haired Shanks saved Luffy from the Sea King's jaws and used his gaze to intimidate the Sea King, but he lost his arm in the process.
Back on the shore, Shanks comforted Luffy and placed his own straw hat on Luffy's head, promising to return it when they will meet again on the sea.
After watching this footage of the first question, ordinary people around the world didn't feel much since sea creatures, even ones like the Sea King, were already terrifying beings to them.
They were not particularly concerned about Shanks losing his arm to such a creature. Instead, they were more impressed that Shanks showed no sadness or regret after losing his arm and even comforted Luffy.
It seemed far different from their impression of pirates, especially considering Shanks was one of the Four Emperors. It was quite surprising.
For a moment, even pedestrians who didn't have much fondness for pirates couldn't help but develop a favorable impression of this particular Yonko. Perhaps there were good and bad pirates after all.
However, among those who understood the matter, they were stunned when they saw this scene.
So the Sea King was the so-called "Sea King of the Near Sea"?
They had thought it was some kind of giant sea monster!
Is this it?
Isn't this just an ordinary sea creature?
It can bite off the arm of a Yonko? Are you sure this isn't a joke?
If it weren't for knowing that the video couldn't be faked, some would have thought it was fabricated. It was too unbelievable.
Sengoku looked at Garp, somewhat incredulous. "You're saying this is the so-called Sea King of the Near Sea?"
garp maintained a serious expression and nodded. To be honest, he couldn't believe it either, but Luffy told him that it was indeed this creature.
Sengoku felt like he may have overestimated Shanks. However, Shanks' strength was undeniable. With just one arm, he was able to reach the position of a Yonko, proving his incredible power.
Sengoku pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out how such an absurd situation had come to be. In the end, he could only assume that the circumstances were dire, and Shanks didn't have time to think too much, resulting in him losing his arm.
However, when Sengoku saw young Luffy crying so bitterly at the sight of Shanks losing his arm, he began to understand why not even Garp could stop Luffy from setting out to sea. The emotional bond between Luffy and Shanks was evident in that moment of heart-wrenching tears.
