(Just reached 100 chapter on p@treon)
The threat posed by Arlong immediately sparked anger and hostility from the Straw Hat crew and the villagers of Cocoyasi Village. How dare he use the lives of the villagers to threaten Nami at a time like this!
This was intolerable and unacceptable.
"Nami, don't believe him, he's lying to you."
"That's right, Nami, you don't have to sacrifice anything for us anymore. From now on, just take care of yourself, we won't burden you any longer."
"If Arlong wants to kill us, let him come. This time, we won't back down anymore!"
Luffy and the others pointed at Arlong, saying, "You can't do as you please anymore. We will defeat you this time and put an end to your evil deeds!"
Just as tensions were about to explode between the two sides, Luo ke suddenly spoke up.
"Silence!"
Everyone immediately fell silent.
Luo ke glanced at Arlong and his group, "In my livestream room, fighting is prohibited. If you want to fight, you can settle it yourselves after the livestream ends. But for now, you will all listen to me."
Luo ke's voice was not loud, but the pressure it exerted was difficult to resist.
No one spoke up again.
Luo ke then turned to Nami, "This is your reward. How you use it is up to you, but I suggest you use it now. Although it may not be something desirable, keeping it might bring trouble in the future.
It's not just these guys in front of us, you should understand what I mean, right?"
Nami nodded in response. Now that the whole world knew they had received a reward, if it became known that they had the physique-enhancing potion and didn't use it, countless individuals who desired strength would likely come to steal it.
That would be troublesome.
Without further hesitation, Nami decisively drank the physique-enhancing potion.
The remaining five bottles of the potion were quickly consumed by all members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Observers could clearly sense that their vitality was significantly stronger after consuming the potion compared to before.
As the last bottle of the potion was used by Nami, Arlong became furious, his eyes turning red.
Damn it! That was supposed to be his possession, yet these humans had stolen it from him. The opportunity for him to become stronger and seek revenge had been completely ruined.
He glared at the Straw Hat crew and the people of Cocoyasi Village with a gaze filled with murderous intent.
His anger extended even towards Luo ke, who had hindered him.
At this point, Luo ke saw that things were almost done and it was time to wrap up. He prepared to announce the end of the quiz.
However, at that moment, Arlong realized that this hard-earned quiz livestream was about to end. The Straw Hat Pirates had obtained the precious physique-enhancing potion, while he had gained nothing.
Moreover, he had no idea when another opportunity like this would arise. He couldn't accept it ending just like that.
"I have something to say!" Arlong interrupted Luo ke.
Luo ke looked at Arlong, curious about what he was planning. He was well aware of Arlong's impending fate. Arlong was already no match for Luffy, and now that Luffy's crew had consumed the physique-enhancing potion, their strength was on par with CP9.
It was inevitable that Arlong and his group would be defeated. The outcome would only be even more disastrous than before.
"Go ahead, I'm listening. Since the quiz has already ended, I have some time," Luo ke replied.
"I think this quiz is unfair. Why should all the questions be about that straw hat kid, Luffy? How are we supposed to know about him and his affairs?
From start to finish, this has been an unfair quiz.
Now that the whole world is watching, don't you find it ridiculous to host such an unfair quiz livestream?
I believe there are many people around the world who are dissatisfied with your choice of questions, just like me. If it were truly a fair livestream, then you should ask questions that we all know or don't know. That would be fair!"
After the recent incident, Arlong realized that it wasn't wise to confront Luo ke directly, so he took a different approach, focusing on the issue with the quiz itself.
He had been dissatisfied with the questions from the beginning. They had nothing to do with him, and they were all related to that kid on the other side.
How were they supposed to answer such questions?
Captain Nezumi also expressed his objection, "I also object. The first question about how Shanks lost his arm, besides the people present here, who knows how it happened? It's clearly a question meant for him alone.
I, on behalf of the Navy, question the fairness of this quiz!"
"Oh? Is that what you think?" Luo ke looked at Dragon and Captain Nezumi with a strange expression.
"That's right," Captain Nezumi and Arlong said simultaneously, exchanging glances.
At that moment, the viewers of the livestream also had the same thoughts. Although they strongly disliked Arlong's behavior of using the villagers' safety to threaten the girl, they couldn't deny that his point about the unfairness of the question had some merit.
Even Sengoku couldn't help but nod. Indeed, the questions were biased towards Luffy and were unfriendly to both the Navy and Arlong's pirate crew.
If they could have another chance at a more fair quiz because of this, Law believed that Captain Nezumi might be able to answer on behalf of the Navy correctly.
That way, the Navy could obtain the physique-enhancing potion and bring it back to the scientific division for research, to see if it could be replicated and mass-produced.
This was also a golden opportunity for the Navy.
Then Luo ke heard an answer that brightened his eyes.
"Well, in that case, I will give each of you a question that suits you," Luo ke smiled and did not refuse.
Captain Nezumi and Arlong immediately showed ecstatic expressions.
"Let's stick with the buzzer round. All four factions can compete, and as for the reward, it will still be the physique-enhancing potion. One bottle for each correct answer. If you can't answer correctly first this time, don't blame me for not giving you another chance," Luo ke said with a slight smirk.
Upon hearing that the reward was still the physique-enhancing potion, Captain Nezumi and Arlong's eyes lit up.
Arlong looked at the displayed images of the Luo ke techniques and couldn't help but drool. The thought of gaining such abilities by drinking the physique-enhancing potion excited him greatly.
Meanwhile, Captain Nezumi was thinking that if he could bring something like this back to the Navy, he would definitely earn the admiration of Admiral Sengoku. He could be promoted to the rank of Vice Admiral, and many possibilities would open up for him.
For both of them, it was an opportunity they couldn't afford to miss.
"Alright then, the overtime round of the quiz officially begins. Here's the question: What did the Arlong Pirates do after arriving here?"
