"This brat!" Doflamingo felt a surge of anger within him. Out of all the options, they had to choose him, as if they believed he was the weakest among the three. It was like they were openly stating that he was the weakest, stomping his pride into the ground for everyone to see.
How infuriating!
You think you can defeat me? You're mistaken!
As Doflamingo sneered at the foolishness of those who chose him, he heard an answer from Luo ke that left him frozen in place.
"The answer is correct. The Straw Hat Pirates gain another point. They have now answered four questions correctly."
"How is that possible?!" Doflamingo blurted out, his eyes incredulously fixed on Luffy in the live broadcast. This brat could actually defeat him?
This was the correct answer?
Doflamingo couldn't accept this answer. He had fallen to a defeat at the hands of a mere brat?
A brat who hadn't even been at sea for two years?
Doflamingo felt like it was a colossal joke. He, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the king of Dressrosa, the Joker of the underground world, losing to such a brat was inconceivable, unbelievable.
If someone else had said it, Doflamingo would never have believed it.
But the person who spoke those words was Luo ke, the enigmatic man with mysterious abilities, even capable of foreseeing the future. Though emotionally he couldn't accept it, his rationality told him that this matter might indeed be true.
He had been defeated by this brat.
Doflamingo sank into the sofa, his right hand covering his mouth, lost in thought.
Why had it come to this?
...
This outcome clearly stunned people from all over the world.
Even though they didn't necessarily consider Doflamingo as one of the absolute top-tier powerhouses in the world, they couldn't fathom a man like him being defeated by a young lad like Luffy.
Sengoku looked at Garp in astonishment and said:
"You, you old fool... Garp, why didn't you bring him to the Marines for training? If you had done so, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to become an Admiral in the future."
At the age of seventeen, setting sail, entering the Grand Line at the age of nineteen, and toppling Doflamingo in the New World—such a record would even be fitting for a Vice Admiral.
But he became a pirate instead, which made Sengoku particularly regretful.
Garp felt the same regret in his heart, but it was too late. When Luffy was only six or seven years old, Shanks had already steered him in a different direction, and no matter how hard Garp tried, he couldn't change that course.
As a result, all of the plans he had arranged were disrupted, and the root cause of all this was Red Hair. However, Red Hair still owed them a favor, which left Garp with nowhere to direct his frustration.
The Straw Hat group answered another question, leaving the Arlong Pirates and Captain Nezumi envious. However, they had no way of obtaining any clues whatsoever.
Although it was the same for the opposing side, as everything they were dealing with pertained to future events.
But something felt off to them.
Now they had reached the final question, their last opportunity. The Arlong Pirates had regained their right to answer, and Captain Nezumi still held the privilege since he hadn't answered the previous question. Only the Cocoyasi Village, who had allied with the Straw Hats just now, had lost their chance due to trial and error.
It was now a showdown between the Arlong Pirates, the Straw Hat Pirates, and Captain Nezumi .
This was their last chance, and everyone was determined to succeed. They had to make a choice no matter what, without wasting any more opportunities.
"Now, let's proceed to the final question. This is the last one, so don't miss it. There will be rewards for each correct answer. For those who haven't answered correctly before, this is your last chance."
Upon hearing this, the Arlong Pirates and Captian Nezumi's eyes lit up. It meant that even if they answered just one question correctly, they would still receive a reward.
"Question: After defeating Doflamingo, Luffy caused chaos in Cake island. What title did Luffy earn as a result?
Here are the four options:
a) Straw Hat King.
b) Yonko (Four Emperors).
c) Goko (Five Emperors).
d) Worst Generation Supernova.
You have three minutes starting now."
Upon hearing the unfamiliar location, "Cake island," Luffy turned his head to Zoro and the others, curious as he asked, "What place is Cake island?"
However, he noticed that Zoro and Sanji were looking at him with expressions as if he were a strange creature.
Sanji's tone carried a hint of shock and disbelief as he swallowed and said, "Cake island is located in the New World on the Grand Line. It belongs to one of the Yonko, Big Mom. It's her stronghold."
"Big Mom? Is she strong?" Luffy still didn't quite understand.
"Is she strong? She's on the same level as Whitebeard. How strong do you think she is?" Usopp said.
"Big Mom has a bounty of 4,388,000,000 berries from the Marines. She's an absolute monster," Zoro said, his expression becoming serious.
It seemed like he had really joined a captain who was beyond extraordinary. Defeating Warlord Doflamingo had already exceeded Zoro's expectations, but he didn't expect Luffy to cause such chaos in the stronghold of one of the Yonko, Big Mom, and even earn a title because of it. It was simply unbelievable.
Usopp was on the verge of tears upon hearing this news. How could he, with his skinny arms and legs, fight against someone with a bounty of 4,388,000,000 berries? Wasn't that a death sentence? Wasn't it?
Was it still possible for him to quit the crew now?
However, Luffy was a fearless individual, unafraid of anything. Upon hearing this news, he simply nodded to indicate that he understood, but his eyes were filled with a burning desire to challenge Big Mom and face her in battle.
This made the Straw Hat Pirates even more concerned about the future.
At the same time, people all over the world were left astounded by this explosive news. The young man in the live broadcast had not only defeated the terrifying Warlord Doflamingo but had also gone on to challenge a Yonko with a bounty of 4,600,000,000 berries?
They were well aware of the fearsome power of the Yonko, as they had witnessed the strength of another Yonko, Whitebeard, during the Summit War. It was something that ordinary individuals could never achieve.
And yet, this Luffy was able to fight against opponents of such caliber, and most importantly, he didn't die at the hands of Big Mom.
Let's take a look at the options provided by Lou ke.
Straw Hat King?
Let's put that title aside for now.
Yonko?
The new generation of Yonko?
Does this mean that he not only caused chaos in Wano Country but also defeated Big Mom and claimed her title as a Yonko?
Goko?
The original four Emperors now have a fifth Emperor, adding another Emperor to the seas?
Lastly, the Worst Generation Supernova.
The pirates who set sail each year are generally referred to as Supernovas, but does the "Worst Generation Supernova" imply that he is the strongest among them?
