One hundred million volts!?
Everyone gazed at the image as Enel was shrouded in the menacingly condensed thunder.
At that very moment, they were all utterly dumbfounded!
One hundred million volts of electricity, capable of melting even rock and steel into molten slag if fully unleashed!
Could a human body truly withstand such a terrifying destructive force?
Just as everyone was deeply shocked...
The image abruptly halted!
In its place, there was an unexpected twist... a quiz!
[Begin answering questions now!]
[Those who choose the correct answer will be rewarded after the end of the live broadcast...]
[In the upcoming battle between Luffy and Enel, which of the following scenarios will occur?]
[1. Luffy triumphs against Enel in a desperate struggle!]
[2. Enel unleashes 100 million volts, obliterating Luffy and the entire Skypiea Island!]
[3. An unknown powerhouse intervenes during the battle, saving Luffy and his comrades!]
[4. Enel emerges victorious but, instead of killing Luffy's group, departs Skypiea for the Land of Dreams!]
[You have one minute to make your choice; choose wisely...]
Onigashima!
Kaido smirked as he looked to the sky.
"Thinking Straw Hat can defeat Enel is sheer folly!"
"I choose 2!"
"This time, I'm sure to reap the rewards..."
Previously, Garp, Whitebeard, and others had received rewards, which had left Kaido feeling unsatisfied.
Initially dismissive of the quiz, the promise of a rich reward piqued his interest, especially with his chosen answer... he was remarkably confident!
Marine Headquarters!
"I pick option 2!"
Akainu chose without hesitation, echoing Kaido's choice. His reasoning was simple: he wanted Luffy to perish, and he believed Luffy had no chance of victory!
Aokiji chimed in, "Although the Straw Hat boy is outmatched by Enel, I don't believe he'll die. I choose 3!"
Kizaru maintained his laid-back demeanor, "Three long, one short; four short, one long... I'll go with option 4."
Hearing this, the other members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea looked at Kizaru.
His logic made sense; in multiple-choice questions like this, when you're unsure, playing it safe is the best strategy!
Moreover, option 4 seemed the most plausible.
Enel defeating Luffy but sparing them...
Upon closer inspection, it did seem like a safe bet!
Subsequently, nearly all the Seven Warlords of the Sea chose the same answer as Kizaru, option 4!
"Garp, what's your choice?"
Sengoku turned to Garp.
At present, they were the only two who hadn't made their selections.
Garp was serious; he didn't care much about the reward, no matter how enticing it might be. Protecting his grandson's safety was paramount.
"I choose option 3!"
Sengoku nodded, "In that case, I'll go with that as well..."
None present selected option 1.
They simply couldn't believe that, facing such a formidable adversary and that tremendous lightning bolt, Luffy had any chance at all.
What were the odds for Luffy?
Whitebeard Pirates!
"Ace... Do you believe Luffy will win this time?"
Whitebeard inquired, seeking Ace's opinion, just as he had before.
Ace appeared torn.
Truthfully, he didn't hold much hope for Luffy's victory.
However, as his brother, he had to offer moral support when he couldn't be there to help!
"I choose 1!"
"Luffy is a man who can work miracles, and this time, I still believe in him!"
Upon hearing these words, everyone present found it unbelievable.
Even Whitebeard.
They never expected Ace to have such confidence in his brother.
Selecting Luffy to win, despite the overwhelming difference in strength?
It was astonishing...
Soon, the minute passed.
During that time, every faction at sea made their choices.
Even Enel, now on Skypiea Island!
Naturally, the chosen answers were primarily among options 2, 3, and 4.
After all, the footage had made it abundantly clear how formidable Enel was.
His strength, surpassing that of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, approached that of the Admirals!
In contrast, Luffy... he was not even as strong as when he faced Moria. He was just a rookie pirate who had recently set sail.
How could such an individual win this battle?
Unless the world had gone mad!
So, anyone who believed in Luffy's victory and selected option 1... appeared pitiful!
Only Ace, Zoro, and Nami dared to make that choice!
Even Whitebeard, Shanks, and Garp, who had previously supported Luffy, did not believe that Luffy could win.
They, as major players, understood better than anyone else the extent of Enel's strength.
They were more certain than anyone that this battle... left Luffy with no chance of winning.
And Nami, who shared the same ship with Zoro, foolishly chose option 1...
