Doflamingo sneered, "With your temperament, you might actually end up kneeling and begging for mercy."
Hearing this, the already infuriated Moria became even more irritated.
From the start, Doflamingo had been provoking him. How much more could he endure before he snapped?
However, just as he was about to take action, he noticed...
Admirals Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru were coldly staring at him, causing cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
He had no doubt that if he dared to attack Doflamingo, the next second...
The three admirals would strike him down!
"Doflamingo, that's enough of your verbal antics. I don't care what you do outside, but here you must follow the rules!"
"If you continue to provoke and try to incite conflict, be prepared to face the consequences..."
Akainu's calm voice carried a clear threat.
No matter how brazen Doflamingo was, he didn't dare to act so recklessly in front of the three admirals.
He waved his hand dismissively, "I understand..."
Everyone's attention shifted from the argument between Doflamingo and Moria back to the main focus of the video.
"Garp, you know your grandson best, why don't you choose an answer?"
Sengoku looked over.
Garp, seemingly unconcerned, replied, "That kid is unpredictable, who knows what the outcome will be?"
"But if I had to say, I still choose to believe in him, so I choose option 3!"
Upon hearing this, Sengoku fell into deep thought...
To be honest, he couldn't agree with Garp's choice.
Of the four options, the fourth was pure nonsense!
The second was also unrealistic, leaving only the first and third.
If he had to choose, he would go for the first option, Moria defeating Luffy and annihilating all the Straw Hat Pirates on the island!
After all, no matter what, Moria was one of the Seven Warlords, and it wouldn't be easy for him to be defeated...
"I choose option 1!"
Hearing this, Moria was nearly moved to tears, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku..."
Akainu also spoke, "I share the same opinion as the Fleet Admiral; no matter how much the Straw Hat kid has grown, he can't possibly win!"
"Even if Moria is weak and I've never taken him seriously, he's not someone the Straw Hat kid can just trifle with."
"In my opinion, the probability of him winning is even lower than Moria begging for mercy on his knees, so I choose option 1!"
Moria: "..."
Although these words were somewhat harsh, they still provided some consolation.
Next, the remaining people also expressed their own predictions.
Almost everyone present believed that the battle would ultimately result in Moria's victory, except for Garp.
Because from the video, they couldn't see any possibility of Luffy winning.
At this moment, Moria felt for the first time that the Marines were surprisingly warm, almost moved to tears by their support.
On the Revolutionary Army's side...
Everyone, like the Marines, tended to believe that Moria could win.
This included Luffy's father, Dragon.
Though he cared for his son, this had nothing to do with other matters.
He too felt that Luffy and his crew stood no chance against Moria.
The Red Hair Pirates...
"I choose option 3, Luffy will win!" Red Hair took a sip of alcohol, brimming with confidence.
This attitude puzzled the officers beside him, such as Beckman.
"Captain, even if you like Luffy, there's no need to be so biased. This is one of the Seven Warlords we're talking about; it won't be easy for Luffy to win."
Red Hair laughed heartily, "I don't know, maybe... I've had too much to drink, haha!"
The Whitebeard Pirates...
Though they were more inclined to favor Luffy over Moria due to him being Ace's brother, their battle predictions had nothing to do with personal feelings. As powerful individuals, they only trusted their own judgment.
Thus, except for Whitebeard and Ace who had yet to voice their opinions, almost everyone believed the Straw Hat Pirates would be defeated!
"Ace, what's your take on this?"
Hearing Whitebeard's question, Ace smiled confidently, "Of course I believe in Luffy. After all... he's my little brother!"
"So, I choose option 3!"
Whitebeard chuckled heartily upon hearing this, "Then I'll choose option 3 as well!"
Ace was somewhat surprised, "Pops, you..."
Whitebeard grinned, "I'm not putting my faith in Luffy, but in your judgment!"
Ace paused for a moment and then smiled. He didn't say anything more, but everything was understood in their silent exchange.
Within a short minute...
Almost everyone had made up their minds.
Unfortunately, those who believed in Luffy's victory were few and far between, and could be counted on one hand.
Only Garp, Ace, and Whitebeard chose to believe that Luffy would win.
The majority still believed that Moria would emerge victorious from this battle.
This included Kaido, Big Mom, and others who hadn't yet entered the scene but were closely following the battle...
After all, even though Luffy had grown over time, he still seemed like a rookie in the video.
In contrast, Moria was a genuine member of the Seven Warlords!
As a user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, he had also taken away the shadows of Luffy and the others. Unless he willingly returned them, Luffy and his crew would be trapped on the island forever.
They simply couldn't imagine how Luffy could possibly achieve victory... To be continued.
