CHAPTER 2

The flaming message had barely disappeared and the wooden dummy began to run towards Arlong. Although at first, he was surprised when he saw the speed of the doll Arlong laughed because he thought it was very weak.

As Arlong laughed the doll reached for him and launched a punch, but was easily caught and in one fluid motion, Arlong countered destroying the doll's head with a single blow.

[Congratulations on defeating level 1. Since you took no damage or fatigue, no restoration is needed. Do you want to start level 2?]

If the opponents are so weak this is just a stupid game. Start level 2. (Arlong)

After Arlong spoke the rest of the doll he had defeated disappeared and a new one appeared. It was no different from the previous one, the only difference was that above its head it said in flaming letters [Level 2]

Arlong was not bothered this time and attacked as soon as the fight started because for him a wooden doll was the same as a tree, however, the blow he launched was dodged, and when he was surprised he received a kick from the doll that sent him to fly.

Whether it was those present or the world's onlookers, they were surprised at the strength of the level 2 dummy. To the big characters, it was still a weak dummy, but they were surprised because they didn't understand how a wooden dummy could move like that.

While everyone was speculating if the wooden dummy moved with the help of a devil fruit, Arlong had managed to defeat the level 2 dummy, though he suffered some injuries.

[Congratulations on defeating level 2. Damage and fatigue will be restored if you challenge level 3. Do you want to start level 3?]

Although Arlong had a hard time defeating the previous doll, his arrogance wouldn't allow him to give up, so he accepted. Soon his injuries and fatigue were healed and the third doll appeared.

When the start signal was given, the level 3 dummy ran towards Arlong at high speed and when it got close, launched a punch that sent Arlong flying about 4 meters.

Everyone was surprised by the doll's strength and speed, but their surprise increased when the flaming message appeared shortly after.

[Arlong lost the match. The rewards were lost]

Then a light similar to the one that brought them to this place enveloped Arlong and he disappeared. Everyone knew that he had lost, but soon there was speculation about what was happening.

The great powers of the world, regardless of their affiliation, were very curious about this phenomenon. Even IM didn't understand what was going on and could only watch intrigued and tried to understand over time.

While most of the spectators were thoughtful, most of the participants had fought against the wooden dummies, but unexpectedly, very few had managed to beat the level 2 dummy and no one had beaten the level 3 dummy.

Soon it was Tashigi's turn. Being a swordswoman, when she was transported, she was able to bring her sword, in fact, any weapon could be used even guns, it was for that reason that Buggy was able to defeat the level 2 doll, using his famous Buggy-dama.

Even so, Buggy decided to withdraw before facing the level 3 dummy, knowing that he could not beat it. Tashigi demonstrated her sword technique and managed to defeat the level 2 doll, but Smoker who saw that she had narrowly won advised her to withdraw and she accepted.

Zoro had a complicated expression on his face when he saw Tashigi because she looked like his childhood friend, but the presence seemed different to him so he was sure it wasn't her, so he decided to ignore her.

Then it was the turn of Usopp and Nami who managed to defeat the level 1 doll with great difficulty before withdrawing. Sanji was next and displayed his powerful legs in an intense attack and became the first one to defeat the level 3 doll.

After him, Smoker, Zoro, Luffy, Kid, and Killer also made it, being the only ones to do it. Soon everyone brought here had returned to their place of origin and the letters on the screen returned.

[The rewards will now be delivered. For all those who defeated level 1, you will receive a dose of concentration serum that will allow you to double your training efficiency for 3 days]

[For those who defeated level 2, they will receive a dose of concentration serum that will allow you to double your training efficiency for a week]

[For those who defeated level 3, they will receive a dose of power serum that will allow you to double your current strength instantly]

[Warning, the rewards for the 6 talents that managed to defeat level 3 cannot be given away, sold, or traded, as they will lose all effectiveness]

If I could have that serum for myself or one of the admirals the navy could bolster their force. (Sengoku)

What a great reward. (Shanks)

What a waste to give such an incredible element to garbage from the four seas. (Kaido)

Why will they give those valuable things to garbage people? (Big Mom)

Looks like some good rookies will be entering the Grand Line soon Grararararararara~. (Whitebeard)

What Sengoku and the emperors didn't know was that these serums had limits and for people of their levels they were ineffective.

All the great people in the world were chatting with their peers about the rewards that had been given. On the other hand, Alex was sailing on a merchant ship heading to Loguetown while he also thought about the missions and rewards they had given this time.

As a person who has had a system similar to the rewards list for over 10 years, Alex was by no means a novice and had a much better understanding of what was going on in the world.

If Alex were to rate his current strength, he was sure that he was above a standard Navy Vice Admiral, but a bit below the elites of this level, that is to say, although he was not weak, he could not be considered powerful either.

All this was due to the system and the 10-year advantage it obtained. Even so, he knew that now that the god of rewards was open to everyone, many important characters would become even more powerful, and that could work against him.

His only advantage currently was the fact that he had a lot of resources and special powers collected in these 10 years, but he also knew that the god of rewards had not allowed him to get the best things in the system, as it would not be interesting.

Alex, who knew that the god of reward had saved the best things for when he opened his gifts to the world, was a little annoyed because although he had an advantage, he had not balanced the scales with monsters like Shanks, Whitebeard, Shiki, Sengoku and many other important characters in this world.

Being a fan of the series, Alex wouldn't be stupid enough to believe that these powerful characters wouldn't benefit now that the god of rewards has opened up to the world.
