As the menacing Arlong Pirates were closing in on their fellow crewmate Zoro, the villagers of Cocoyasi rallied together, determined to fight against the Arlong Pirates. Meanwhile, Colonel Nezumi was counting the confiscated beli (currency) obtained from Nami. Nami, sitting helplessly on the ground, pleaded for assistance. Luffy, Zoro, and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates were running towards Arlong Park.
Suddenly, an invisible barrier appeared in the sky above Arlong Park and Cocoyasi Village.
Everyone witnessed a momentary flash, and the Arlong Pirates, Colonel Mouse and his subordinates, the villagers of Cocoyasi, and the Straw Hat Pirates all found themselves inexplicably transported to Arlong Park.
Meanwhile, in various parts of the world, only a few hours had passed since the last live broadcast had ended.
Some people were even engaged in lively discussions with their friends about the intriguing revelation of Misen's lack of movement during the previous broadcast.
At that moment, they were astonished to see that the empty space where the images of the sudden appearance and disappearance had occurred a few hours ago had now split open again.
A black rift abruptly appeared and stretched open, forming the same screen as before.
However, this time, there was no footage playing yet, leaving everything in complete darkness.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"Could it be that the second live quiz is about to begin?"
"Who will be participating in this round of the quiz?
Could it be me?
I also want the Potion of Life!"
...
Marine Headquarters had just finished dealing with the aftermath of Whitebeard's attack on the Marine branch in the New World when they received a report from their subordinates that the mysterious black curtain had reappeared in the main plaza.
Upon learning this news, Admiral Sakazuki couldn't even take a break and immediately rushed to the plaza.
By the time he arrived, other high-ranking Marines such as Kizaru, Aokiji, and Akainu were already present.
As for Monkey D. Garp, he had been swiftly sent to the Marine branch in the New World to handle the aftermath, simply because he was the fastest among them.
Everyone anxiously stared at the black curtain, unsure of what would transpire this time.
The live broadcast a few hours ago had revealed a great war on the verge of breaking out. As a result, not only did the ageing Whitebeard regain his youth, but the broadcast also directly caused Whitebeard to explode, sinking one of the Marine branches in the process!
Only the injured world of the Marines was left in its wake.
Little did they expect that just a few hours after the end of the previous broadcast, a new one was already starting. It felt incredibly rushed.
They could only hope that this time the broadcast wouldn't bring anything detrimental to the Marines.
...
Meanwhile, in the New World, the Whitebeard Pirates were in high spirits, celebrating with joy and laughter.
With Whitebeard rejuvenated and his body restored to its prime, it was the best news for the Whitebeard Pirates.
As long as their old man was around, the Whitebeard Pirates would stand tall and fearless against anyone.
Not long ago, they had even sunk a Marine branch in the New World, greatly boosting the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates.
This is also a declaration to the Marines and the world that the Whitebeard Pirates will not tolerate being mistreated!
After giving the Marines a warning, the Whitebeard Pirates returned to their territory and started a celebration.
With two great things happening today, they felt it was worth celebrating for five days and nights.
The members of the Whitebeard Pirates were joyfully drinking and celebrating aboard the Moby Dick.
Now that Whitebeard had recovered and no longer needed intravenous drips or controlled alcohol intake, he let loose and enjoyed his drinks.
Everyone was in high spirits.
However, at that moment, the familiar black curtain appeared in the sky above the Moby Dick. Could it be time for another quiz?
To their surprise, this time there was no familiar barrier.
Curious about the situation, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates all turned their attention towards the black curtain.
Similar scenes unfolded around the world, capturing the attention of civilians, nobles, and influential figures alike.
As all eyes were fixated, the black screen finally changed, revealing a different scene from the previous one on the Moby Dick.
It was an exquisitely decorated place, complete with a mansion, a swimming pool, and a sunbathing platform paved with bricks, resembling a luxurious villa of some noble.
Within this mansion, several groups of people were present.
One group consisted of villagers holding hoes and sickles, another group was dressed in blue and white uniforms representing the Marines, and surprisingly, there was also a group of peculiar-looking fishmen.
What caught the attention of Garp from Marine Headquarters and Ace from the Whitebeard Pirates was a familiar face among the villagers.
"Luffy?!" Garp and Ace couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Upon hearing the name "Luffy," the members of the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines from Marine Headquarters finally took notice of the young boy wearing a straw hat in the crowd.
So, he was Monkey D. Luffy!
