"If he can become this strong in just two years, then what about in the next eight years? He would become a godlike existence!
There's no need for him to stay confined in the East Blue. He should have already gone to seek revenge against Akainu.
So the possibility of him being the Fourth or Fifth Emperor is eliminated by Arlong and Captain Nezumi. The most likely options are Straw Hat Luffy and the Worst Generation.
Among them, they believe the Worst Generation is more probable because rookie pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million are called Supernovas. If Luffy can challenge Big Mom and survive, earning the title of the Worst Generation wouldn't be excessive.
Both Arlong's group and Rear Admiral Nezumi, as well as the Straw Hat Pirates, all simultaneously thought of this idea.
However, Luffy's group was a step behind. Captian Nezumi was the first to step forward and give his answer.
"Answer: D, the Worst Generation."
This time it must be correct, removing Straw Hat Luffy, who seemed like the most likely answer, and eliminating the least likely options of the Fourth and Fifth Emperors, leaving only the Worst Generation.
Not only Captain Nezumi, even the Marine Headquarters' strategist, Sengoku, couldn't help but admire the choice. Well done.
Arlong, seeing that his answer was stolen by Captain Nezumi, couldn't help but glare at him.
However, before he could get angry, a response came from Luo ke.
"Answer incorrect. The question continues."
Incorrect?!"
Arlong was slightly taken aback, and the smile on Rear Admiral Nezumi 's face froze. "Wrong?!"
Luffy and his group were equally stunned.
This answer actually wrong?
If the Worst Generation wasn't the correct answer, then what could it be?
It couldn't possibly be the Fourth or Fifth Emperor, right?
If it wasn't the Fourth or Fifth Emperor, then the answer could only be...
Arlong quickly interrupted, "Answer: A, Straw Hat Luffy."
This should definitely be correct, Arlong thought to himself. He glanced at Captain Nezumi, grateful that he had made the mistake first, and then looked towards Luffy's direction. They were all blaming Luffy for not being quick enough when he should be and being too impulsive when he shouldn't, resulting in someone else answering first.
However, this time it was Arlong's turn to freeze his smile.
"Answer incorrect. The question continues."
"How is that possible?!" Arlong blurted out.
Luo ke glanced at him and repeated, "Answer incorrect. The question continues."
Could it really be the Fourth or Fifth Emperor?!
Not only Arlong's group couldn't believe this answer, even Luffy and those watching the broadcast couldn't believe it.
Could it be that Big Mom was actually defeated by Luffy?
Big Mom's smile faded instantly, her gaze fixed on the broadcast, while her speed of devouring desserts increased.
Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp looked at Luffy as if they were seeing a deity.
Oh my goodness, who did they follow? Some kind of deity?
Becoming the Fourth or Fifth Emperor within two years of setting sail, even the Pirate King Roger wasn't as impressive as him.
Luffy scratched his head. "Why are you all looking at me like that? What should we choose now that there are only two options left?"
"How would we know which one to choose? Don't you know the answer yourself?" Zoro and the others replied irritably. They believed that both options were wrong!
At that moment, Nami suddenly spoke up to luo ke, "Um... Can I answer?"
Luo ke glanced at Nami and nodded. "Of course, you belong to the Straw Hat Pirates, not Cocoyasi Village, so you can answer."
"I believe that even if Luffy is strong, it's not possible for him to defeat a Yonko (Four Emperor) within two years. According to the question, it's clear that Luffy only caused a commotion but didn't defeat the Yonko. So the option left is: C, Five Emperor," Nami said, her eyes fixed onLuo ke, afraid of answering incorrectly.
This answer seemed reasonable and well-grounded. However, the reason why everyone didn't choose it before was that if Luffy didn't defeat Big Mom, he couldn't become a Yonko. To become a Five Emperor, he would have to be on par with Big Mom, which was equally unbelievable. Option B and C were practically the same.
But now that options A and D were both ruled out, the option of Five Emperor seemed more plausible. However, could it really mean that Big Mom was defeated?
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the announcement of the answer.
"Answer correct. Luffy infiltrated Totto Land to save his crewmate Sanji and caused a commotion during Big Mom's birthday party. Due to Big Mom's eating disorder during the process, she was unable to stop Luffy in time. After rescuing his crewmate, Luffy escaped Totto Land. However, this incident was deliberately exaggerated by the sensationalist news reporter Morgans, who called him the Fifth Emperor of the New World. Thus, the title of Five Emperor was born."
Finally, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If that was the case, it wasn't too far-fetched. If Luffy really managed to defeat or even fight Big Mom on equal grounds, many people in the world would be shocked.
The disparity between individuals was truly immense.
Some even wondered if they should have let Rayleigh, the former vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, train them for half a year. The training effect would have been incredible.
"In two years, I guarantee you can punch the Shichibukai and kick the Four Emperors."
This training camp, count me in too.
Never mind how much the tuition is, I just want to learn some techniques. It would be great if I could kick a Shichibukai, let alone a Four Emperor.
But now that it's that troublemaking bird intentionally causing trouble, it's fine.
Big Mom also breathed a sigh of relief. That surprised her. She actually thought this kid could stand on equal footing with her, but it turned out to be that Morgan guy intentionally stirring things up.
Since that's the case, there's no need to pay too much attention to it.
Every year, she has plenty of self-proclaimed supernovas coming to challenge her. If she had to go and deal with each one in advance, she wouldn't even have time to eat cake.
And these supernovas are like fresh blood for the Four Emperors.
For example, Whitebeard took Ace, a supernova, as his son. If Ace had challenged her back then, he might have become her subordinate.
The New World is so big, and the four Emperors have essentially divided it up. The newcomers, the supernovas, who want to survive here, either have to defeat the Four Emperors or be defeated and brought under their control. There is no fourth option.
So these Four Emperors don't oppose it. On the contrary, they welcome these newbies coming to them willingly.
It's not just Big Mom who breathed a sigh of relief, but also Sengokui and Garp.
If Luffy really became that crazy, they would probably have to take action even without provocation. A 19-year-old Four Emperor, that would be more formidable than the current ones, directly challenging the level of Pirate King Gol D. Roger.
Out of respect for Garp, Sengoku didn't really want to go against Luffy. He couldn't hurt his old buddy's feelings too much, and he also had to weigh the power behind Luffy. If that day really comes, then it would only be a quick and decisive battle.
But by then, Garp would probably be the next Zephyr.
