Chapter 223 : The Challenge from Kaido!!

[Congratulations to Zoro: He has received a reward, further enhancing his swordsmanship, and has been bestowed the Famous sword Shusui, elevating its quality to that of the supreme grade blade!]

[Congratulations to Usopp: He has acquired additional plant seeds and awakened and improved his Haki!]

[Congratulations to Chopper: He has mastered the use of the Rumble ball, can maintain consciousness in his monster form, and has awakened the Armament Haki!]

As the rewards were announced, Zoro, Chopper, and the others underwent sudden transformations.

A golden aura enveloped the three simultaneously.

In Zoro's hand, Shusui suddenly materialized, now upgraded to the status of the supreme greatsword!

Zoro stood stunned, struck by the revelation.

Despite numerous accolades, his swordsmanship and strength felt lacking without formidable blades. A swordmans prowess, at times, hinges on the quality of their sword.

His wish was granted!

"What a sword!"

Excitement illuminated Zoro's face.

Acquiring Shusui would undoubtedly amplify his power!

The reward was beyond his expectations!

Meanwhile, Usopp and Chopper were equally engulfed in astonishment. Gaining mastery over Haki marked a monumental leap for them.

Witnessing their comrades' rewards, Luffy and the others couldn't contain their joy.

"What's in store for me?"

Luffy gazed at the sky with anticipation, not waiting long before his reward arrived.

[Reward for the pinnacle battle hero has been distributed!]

[Congratulations to Luffy: You have received enhancements in conqueror's Haki, physical prowess, and devil fruit abilities!]

Boom!

Luffy too was enveloped in a golden radiance. Upon its dissipation, he appeared profoundly transformed!

He could sense a significant improvement in all aspects.

"This sensation..."

Excitement radiated from his expression!

When Sanji, Nami, and many other friends witnessed this, their astonishment was palpable.

"Geez, now that's a reward befitting a hero of battle!"

"Just don't go overboard with it!"

Admittedly, from one perspective, this reward might not seem too extraordinary. But you see, it marks an overall improvement!

There's no denying it; after this climactic battle, the one who's gained the most should undoubtedly be Luffy!

And with this revelation, audiences worldwide were left in awe...

His Haki prowess has seen a significant boost, his physical prowess has reached new heights, and even his mastery over his Devil Fruit abilities has undergone a remarkable enhancement!

One can't help but wonder, just how formidable has he become?

After each pinnacle clash, Luffy receives his due reward, and they all contribute to his burgeoning strength!

In this moment, as countless spectators and even formidable figures of the seas look on, envy brews deep within their eyes...

They rue the fact that they hadn't chosen the right path, lamenting why they couldn't claim a share of this remarkable reward for themselves!

[Winners of the quiz contest have received their prizes]

[Global broadcast is imminent!]

[Connect globally or make single-line calls]

[Valid for ten minutes!]

As per tradition, tune in to the live broadcast and hear the world's pulse.

At this juncture, phone transponders suddenly materialized in the hands of numerous influential factions and bosses across the globe!

This presented an opportunity for them to converse across continents, bridging gaps in communication and strategy. However, Luffy and the Red-Haired Pirates didn't wait for them to initiate conversation.

A voice, unexpected yet resounding, echoed throughout the world!

"Straw Hat, do you dare claim the title of the Fifth Emperor of the Sea?"

"Do you still harbor ambitions to take down Yonko?"

"Is becoming the Pirate King your foolish dream?"

"Such fantasies! If ever I encounter you, I'll reveal to you the vast chasm that separates you from a true Yonko!"

"And you will come to understand the bitter taste of real despair!"

The voice brimmed with seething anger and intense hostility.

And its source? None other than Kaido, one of the Four Emperors!
