The video playback ended, and the screen switched back to the live broadcast.
Luo Ke looked at the audience in front of the screen and said, "Now that the video playback is over, this quiz live stream had five questions in total, and you answered all of them correctly.
Now, let's calculate the rewards."
After saying that, Luo Ke instructed the system to begin the calculation.
[Quiz completed, calculating rewards. There were five questions in total, and you answered all of them correctly. Correct rate: 100%]
[Here are five rewards, choose one.]
[Reward 1: Explosion Stones x50]
[Reward 2: Healing Potion x5]
[Reward 3: Enhanced Healing Potion x1]
[Reward 4: Obtaining the right to use the Power of the Underworld once]
[Reward 5: Can specify the revival of a person related to Zephyr]
[Above are the rewards for the quiz participants]
[Master receives reward: Zephyr's Martial Arts]
[Master receives reward: Pacifist White Bear x100]
[Master receives reward: Explosion Stones (all Navy inventory)]
[Unsealing progress: +5%]
Luo Ke glanced at the rewards and the 5% progress in unsealing and thought it was decent.
Chapter 135
Zephyr's martial arts, the man who became an Admiral at the young age of 35, not relying on abilities but solely on his martial arts skills, was on par with Warlords, Karp, Roger, and Whitebeard during the same era. Naturally, his martial arts skills were formidable.
However, now that he was older and suffering from illness, he couldn't compete with these young people anymore.
What caught Luo Ke's interest were the Pacifist and the Explosion Stones. The Pacifist was claimed to be a powerful weapon capable of eliminating over a billion bounty pirates.
But he didn't need them to eliminate pirates; it just so happened that he was alone here. He could have them serve as his butlers and take care of his growing family.
As the system continued to plunder more energy, his home on the moon grew larger.
As for the Explosion Stones, they were said to possess the destructive power of ancient weapons. Based on the footage, their actual effect should be inferior to the Power of the Underworld, but they still qualified as island-destroying weapons.
The Five Elder Stars were already uneasy because of the Power of the Underworld. If they were to find out that all the Explosion Stones in the Navy's arsenal had disappeared, they would be even more unsettled.
Luo Ke imagined the ugly expressions on the faces of the Five Elder Stars upon hearing this news and couldn't help but smile.
Luo Ke looked at Zephyr and said, "I've already prepared your reward. Here, I have five options for you, but you can only choose one."
Zephyr's spirits lifted upon hearing this. He had already made up his mind to change the future as foretold in the prophecy and leave a hope for his students and the world.
For that, he needed more time to achieve this goal.
And this was closely related to the rewards from this quiz live stream. What could he obtain?
Whitebeard's Life Potion, the Straw Hat Pirates' Physical Enhancement Potion, Robin's Mental Enhancement Potion... these thoughts lingered in his mind.
Regardless of what it was, as long as it could give him more time to realize his ideals, it was worth it!
People from all over the world also watched this scene attentively, curious about what reward Zephyr would receive.
At the same time, in Mary Geoise, the Five Elder Stars were also closely watching the live broadcast.
The current development of events was going exactly as they had hoped.
Zephyr had fallen from grace due to his plan to destroy the New World.
They could now take advantage of this situation and deal with the troublesome Zephyr with a clear conscience.
Everything was going as they had predicted, even smoother than expected.
However, the only variable now was Luo Ke.
If Zephyr obtained something he shouldn't from Luo Ke, causing deviations in their plans and making the situation uncontrollable, it would lead to significant problems.
Zephyr was currently of no importance; any Admiral could easily apprehend him, and the remaining pirate guerrilla groups were nothing but trash.
So, after the quiz live stream, they could effortlessly eliminate this threat.
However, if something changed for Zephyr as a result and the capture failed, allowing him to escape...
Then Zephyr would establish a new Navy, which would be a variable for them. Moreover, it was unknown what actions the future Zephyr would take.
If this new Navy were to develop, it would be troublesome. It would undermine the rule of the World Government.
The World Government was not afraid of pirates because pirates were the enemies of everyone.
If people wanted to fight against pirates, they could only rely on the Navy, on the government.
However, if new options appeared, the government would become less important. And if this newly established Navy were to develop, the Navy under the government's control would no longer be a necessary option for allied nations.
And once these countries gathered around this new Navy, it would be tantamount to the emergence of a second World Government.
There couldn't be a second World Government in this world. No matter what, the Five Elder Stars would not sit idly by if such a thing were to happen.
That was also why CP had been relentlessly pursuing the Revolutionary Army but showed little interest in the pirates.
Pirates were ultimately just pests that couldn't influence the overall situation. It was these people who were undermining their foundations that truly had an impact.
When the Navy defected, and Monkey D. Luffy appeared, the Revolutionary Army was born.
What would happen if the Navy had another defector like Zephyr?
You see, Zephyr was the man who trained the entire Navy. If he could train one Navy, then he could train a second one.
A deranged Zephyr is terrifying for the world, but for the government, it's of little concern.
However, a rational Zephyr is beneficial for the world but a serious threat to the government.
Everything must be nipped in the bud.
"We can't leave this matter entirely to the Navy, nor can we send CP0. This matter must not have any mishaps. If we can't deal with Zephyr at this moment, we'll face an enemy even more challenging than the Revolutionary Army."
They couldn't tolerate Zephyr continuing to undermine their control over the Navy from within, nor could they tolerate a rational Zephyr starting a new faction outside the Navy. Therefore, Zephyr must be eliminated!
The Five Elder Stars closely watched Luo Ke and Zephyr in the live stream, determined not to let Zephyr receive the same reward as Whitebeard.
Originally, Zephyr had already stepped into the grave, and even if they didn't kill him, he didn't have much time left. But if he were to gain another half of his life like Whitebeard...
Then without a doubt, their concerns might become reality.
Zephyr had spent half of his life training the entire Navy, and if he were given another half, a second Navy might truly come into existence.
The Five Elder Stars started to feel a little uneasy.
...
At this moment, under the attention of the world, Luo Ke spoke up.
"Reward one: 50 Explosion Stones. If you want to continue with your plan to destroy the New World, this can save you the time to attack the Navy's arsenal. They should be guarding these things very tightly now. These 50 Explosion Stones can completely fulfill your plan."
Luo Ke's words immediately startled people worldwide, especially those from the New World. Even the Four Emperors, like Kaido, had unpleasant expressions.
If Zephyr truly wanted to continue this plan and chose the Explosion Stones given by Luo Ke...
Then they would have to fight for their lives.
No one wanted to be involved in this madness, innocent and unjustly killed.
The Five Elder Stars didn't feel much about this reward, but they were more concerned about the Explosion Stones. Did Luo Ke have the Explosion Stones?
At that moment, someone walked in to report.
"Report, according to information from below... all the Explosion Stones in the Navy's arsenal have suddenly disappeared!"
"What?!" The faces of the Five Elder Stars immediately changed.
They didn't care if Zephyr destroyed the New World or anything like that. The world was vast, and the New World was only a part of their influence, so they didn't mind.
On the contrary, if Zephyr chose the Explosion Stones, they had more reason to eliminate him.
However, the disappearance of the Explosion Stones was crucial to them. If all the Explosion Stones disappeared and Luo Ke claimed to have them, it meant that everything had fallen into Luo Ke's hands.
Now, Luo Ke possessed the Power of the Underworld, a devastating weapon, and had obtained the Explosion Stones, which were as powerful as ancient weapons.
Coupled with Luo Ke's elusive abilities, the Five Elder Stars had no doubt that Luo Ke had the capability to bury all those Explosion Stones in Mary Geoise.
That would be troublesome. With just one explosion, the entire Mary Geoise would be destroyed, and they would be wiped out.
Thinking about this, the Five Elder Stars' hair stood on end, a chilling feeling engulfing them.
"Immediately order CP to search Mary Geoise. Don't let anything slip through. Once the Explosion Stones are discovered, dispose of them immediately!"
"Not only that, we must increase manpower and patrol at all times to prevent Luo Ke from planting Explosion Stones without our knowledge!"
"We must eliminate all threats. We must get rid of Luo Ke as soon as possible!"
But how to get rid of him?
This question left the Five Elder Stars in silence.
If Luo Ke were Zephyr, they would have a thousand ways to deal with him. But they couldn't even find Luo Ke's shadow, let alone deal with him.
Headache... The Five Elder Stars felt deeply powerless.
The immediate priority now was to eliminate Zephyr. As for Luo Ke, time was of the essence; otherwise, things would become even more troublesome.
