[Rocks D. Xebec: "Nami!!"]
When he saw Charlotte Linlin get hit by Luffy's punch, Rocks D. Xebec was so angry his teeth were about to shatter into fragments.
This punch, though it landed on Charlotte Linlin's body, pained Rocks D. Xebec's own body!
Because this punch... directly negated his reward.
Clearly, the answer was E!
Gol D. Roger: "Damn it! Rocks' luck is truly terrible!"
Shiki: "Holy cow! Not at all! Indeed, it caused us two to lose lifespan too!"
Rocks D. Xebec: "Scram! Just now, when I thought I was about to get a reward, you two bastards were celebrating like crazy! Now there's no reward, not even a single strand of hair will come out of your dog mouths, right?! Damn it, if there are more questions later, don't you dare pick the same answer as me!"
Gol D. Roger: "You're not allowed to speak? If we gain benefits by following you, of course we'll speak well of you! If we don't get benefits, shouldn't we curse you a few times?"
Shiki: "Rocks, the freeloader, I'll still pick the same as you later! If there's no reward, I'll curse you, you dog!"
Edward Newgate: "Gurararara!! You two better put in more effort and fight for a few more years, so you can join me in the New World!"
Rocks D. Xebec: "Damn it!"
Sengoku: "Good! Red-Haired Luffy's punch was beautiful! It directly negated the rewards of the three pirates!"
Rocks D. Xebec: "Sengoku, you're in your eighties now, aren't you?"
Gol D. Roger: "Sengoku, you're in your eighties now, aren't you?"
Shiki: "Sengoku, you're in your eighties now, aren't you?"
Sengoku: "A bunch of dogs!!!"
[Ding! Those who answered incorrectly in this round will be punished!]
[Rocks D. Xebec, deprived of the right to answer the next round of questions, lifespan deducted by 1 month and 29 days!]
[Gol D. Roger, deprived of the right to answer the next round of questions, lifespan deducted by 2 months and 17 days!]
[Shiki, deprived of the right to answer the next round of questions, lifespan deducted by 0 days!]
[Trafalgar Law, deprived of the right to answer the next round of questions, lifespan deducted by 6 months and 11 days!]
Just as this happened, the punishment for this round's question arrived.
Charlotte Linlin: "Oho...!!! Hahahaha!!! Captain Rocks has set a new record!!"
Edward Newgate: "The previous record was Sengoku's, right? It seemed to be 11 months and 28 days. I never thought Rocks could actually set a new record again with such an extremely low probability. It's truly a pity! Gurararara!"
Sengoku: "You idiot Whitebeard! Old hag Sengoku!! 730"
Edward Newgate: "Alright, Sengoku~~~"
Marco: "Hahaha!!"
Rocks D. Xebec: "Damn it! It directly deducted a year of my life! Why did those two dogs, Roger and Shiki, get so little deducted?! Damn it!"
Shiki: "Both of us were tricked by you, didn't we lose just a little? Are you saying it shouldn't have been deducted more?!"
Gol D. Roger: "Exactly! Only deducting a year? It would be better to deduct ten years!"
Rocks D. Xebec: "You imbecile! At most, only a year can be deducted!"
[Ding! The top three correct answers in this round were Vinsmoke Sanji, Ivankov, and Buggy!]
[Congratulations to the two, you received rewards!]
[Vinsmoke Sanji, reward: Eight Gates Released Formation!]
[Ivankov, reward: Natural Will, Great Serpent's Blood (Dark)!]
[Ding! Because the Eight Gates Released Formation and Natural Will, Great Serpent's Blood (Dark) are miraculous things from different worlds, a special note has been made.]
[Eight Gates Released Formation Note:]
[A technique that removes the body's limitations on Chakra, allowing the release of excess energy!]
[There are "Eight Gates" in the human body: Gate of Opening, Gate of Healing, Gate of Life, Gate of Pain, Gate of Limit, Gate of View, Gate of Wonder, and Gate of Death! These eight gates restrict the Chakra within the body,
but activating them allows the user to forcefully surpass these limitations, thereby drawing out dozens of times more power than their original strength. However, while gaining powerful strength, the user will also suffer damage to their body, so this technique will cause physical injury.]
[When all eight gates are in the "Eight Gates Released Formation" state, one can instantly gain hundreds of times their own power, but will also die due to their own life force burning out.]
[If the physical body is strong enough, or if the physical defense is strong enough, it can, to a certain extent, resist the side effects of the Eight Gates Released Formation!!!]
Skypiea (Sky Island) Residents: "Hey hey hey!!! Did I see wrong? This technique can instantly grant hundreds of times one's own power?? What kind of terrifying power is that?!"
Capone Bege: "Normally, this technique can allow the user to unleash dozens of times their power... This is already terrifying!"
Marco: "This technique is a bit too abnormal! If you don't hesitate to sacrifice your own life to unleash hundreds of times your power, doesn't that mean you can kick an Five Elders to death?"
Vista: "Is it instant Red-Hair Luffy possession?"
Jinbe: "That's impossible!!! If I had this ability, I would strike with all my might, even if it were Red-Haired Luffy in front of me, I could kick him to death~~~"
Sengoku: "Damn it! Why isn't such a reward given to Marine soldiers?!"
Tsuru: "This reward is truly terrifying.... And it fell into the hands of a Straw Hat Pirate crewmate..."
When the powerhouses saw the note explaining the Eight Gates Released Formation, they were all astonished~~~
Everyone understood what "all eight gates opened" meant.
That is to say... once the Eight Gates are opened, it's a trade-off for the extreme!
No one can be an exception!
Such terror!
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Hehehe..., looks like I've become the Straw Hat Pirates' strongest trump card now!! Green-haired moss-head, from now on, you'll distinguish between big and small kings, understand?!"
Roronoa Zoro: "Idiot! Even at a critical moment, it wouldn't be your turn to use some 'Eight Gates Released Formation'! Don't even think about being our hero, understand?"
Monkey D. Luffy: "Before I die, I absolutely will not allow Sanji to open all Eight Gates!"
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Hey hey hey! Aren't you guys afraid of overheating your brains?! Didn't the note explain that if the physical body is strong enough, it can resist the side effects to a certain extent? As long as I cultivate Armament Haki after this, I won't die even if I open all Eight Gates!!"
Roronoa Zoro: "Pervert cook, shut up! You're not allowed to open Eight Gates even if you won't die! Besides, before trying it, how do you know you won't die?!"
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Hey! Why should I listen to you, you green moss-head!!"
Nami: "Sanji-kun, I won't allow you to open all Eight Gates..."
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Yes, Nami-swan!"
Trafalgar Law: "Hmm~~~"
[Natural Will, Great Serpent's Blood (Dark) Note:]
[By fusing with Natural Will, Great Serpent's Blood (Dark), one can gain the Power of the Eyes!]
Gol D. Roger: "The Five Elders' reward is all this kind of stuff!!"
Edward Newgate: "Yeah, it always feels like something special is going to happen inside..."
Rocks D. Xebec: "Hey, old man Ivankov, what kind of ability is that?"
Ivankov: "Oh, a very strong power!!! I can almost crush Rocks to death with one hand!"
Rocks D. Xebec: "Damn it, don't tell me I'm going to have to write a draft now? That little brat named Sanji and you, Ivankov, are pushing my limits!!"
Ivankov: "Oh~~~!!!"
[Rumble Rumble!]
[The entire Whole Cake Island instantly felt a violent earthquake!]
[Inside Whole Cake Chateau....]
[Under Luffy's "Gomu Gomu no... Wake-Up Punch" attack, Charlotte Linlin was not sent flying by the punch, but remained rooted to the spot!!!]
[The moment Luffy's fist made contact, Charlotte Linlin's body instantly rubberized~~~]
[Whoosh An extremely powerful penetrating force instantly passed through Charlotte Linlin's body....]
[Charlotte Linlin's eyes rolled back, and she instantly collapsed to the ground, falling into a deep sleep~~~]
[At this moment, the entire Whole Cake Chateau instantly fell silent~~~]
[All the cadres of the Charlotte Family watched this scene, all stunned and wide-eyed....]
[Luffy exited Nika Form, then looked at Katakuri, "When Big Mom wakes up later, will her Eating Disorder Craze still continue????"]
["This...."]
[Charlotte Katakuri's mouth twitched slightly. He subconsciously shook his head, "I don't know...."]
[He never thought that Charlotte Linlin, in her Eating Disorder Craze (cbfh) state, would actually be subdued so easily.]
[This was not the first time Charlotte Linlin had suffered from the Eating Disorder Craze; she had experienced it several times before!]
[In all previous "Eating Disorder Craze incidents", no matter what methods they tried, they all ended in failure~~~]
[Every time Charlotte Linlin fell into the Eating Disorder Craze state, it was ultimately by being fed satisfactory food that her Eating Disorder Craze state would disappear....]
[Looking at it now, it's not that Big Mom's Eating Disorder Craze is terrifying, but that the other members of her Charlotte Family are too incompetent....!!!]
[If someone could stand up like Luffy and punch Charlotte Linlin out of her Eating Disorder Craze, would that Eating Disorder Craze still be terrifying?]
[Obviously not....]
[Watching Charlotte Linlin lying on the ground, sleeping soundly, Katakuri secretly swore in his heart....]
["I want to become stronger!!!"]
["The current me.... is truly too weak!!!!"]
[About an hour later, Charlotte Linlin woke up~~~]
["I actually almost killed Little Brulee...?? My god, it's truly terrifying!"]
[Listening to Charlotte Brulee describe the previous scene, Charlotte Linlin also felt lingering fear. She hugged Charlotte Brulee, "It's so good that nothing happened to you, otherwise Mama would have regretted it too late~~~"]
[Subsequently, she looked at Luffy, "Little Luffy, it was really lucky you stepped in to help!! Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to keep this Whole Cake Island intact.....!!!"]
["Ahahaha!! I also just tried it out with an experimental attitude! I didn't expect it to actually work!"]
[Luffy burst out laughing.]
[Back when he was in Dressrosa, Sugar was stunned by Conqueror's Haki, causing all the people who had been turned into toys to recover....]
[So Luffy speculated that knocking Big Mom out might also interrupt her Eating Disorder Craze state~~~]
[He didn't expect it to be so effective...]
[Indeed.... punches are still reliable!!!]
[The next day, the Big Mom Pirates came to see off the Straw Hat Pirates~~~]
[Amidst songs and laughter, the Thousand Sunny sailed away from Whole Cake Island's port!!!]
[Among the crowd, Katakuri slowly departed~~~]
["Brother, what are you doing?" Charlotte Brulee caught up to Katakuri's steps and asked worriedly.]
[She was the sister in the entire Charlotte Family who cared the most about Katakuri. Ever since yesterday's Big Mom Eating Disorder Craze incident, she had been noticing that Katakuri's state wasn't quite right. Now, seeing Katakuri leave alone, she was worried something was wrong, so she quickly caught up to ask about the situation....]
["It's Brulee...."]
[A hint of self-reproach appeared on Katakuri's cold face, "Yesterday.... I'm very sorry, when you almost died in Mama's hands, I was powerless...."]
["Brother, what are you saying......?"]
[Charlotte Brulee forced a smile, "Mama's Eating Disorder Craze acts up; we can't stop her at all...."]
[However, Katakuri shook his head: "But Straw Hat Luffy successfully stopped Mama!"]
[Charlotte Brulee quickly tried to console him: "Brother, this isn't your fault...... You don't need to blame yourself...... I couldn't possibly blame you~~~"]
["No! This is my fault!!!"]
[Charlotte Katakuri instantly gave a wry smile, "Brulee..... you must know that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, weakness...... is the original sin!!!"]
["Brother!!!" Seeing Charlotte Katakuri so agitated, Charlotte Brulee's face filled with worry~~~]
["Brulee, you don't need to say anything else! This matter is my fault!!! It's entirely my fault!!!"]
["When I was weak before, when Mama suffered from the Eating Disorder Craze, I only knew fear and dread...."]
["Later, as my strength grew, when Mama suffered from the Eating Disorder Craze, I could only stop my brothers and sisters from fleeing and avoiding Mama...."]
["I never thought about confronting and defeating Mama to stop her violent acts caused by the Eating Disorder Craze...!"]
[Charlotte Katakuri clenched his fists, his eyes filled with self-reproach and pain.]
["Brother..." Charlotte Brulee took a step forward and tightly hugged Katakuri!]
["Phew...."]
[Thinking of this sister who cared so much about him, who almost died tragically before his eyes yesterday, Charlotte Katakuri felt a deep sense of his own powerlessness!]
[He gently stroked Charlotte Brulee's hair. Katakuri said softly, "Brulee..... until Luffy's punch yesterday..... he made me completely understand that Mama isn't unstoppable after all!!!"]
["In the end, it was my weakness!!!"]
["Brulee, listen carefully! I will become stronger!!! I will use my way to protect the smiles on your faces!"]
["Even if it's Mama, I will never allow her to snatch away your smiles!"]
["Even if it's Mama, I will never allow her to impose fear on you all!"]
[Facing the vast sky before him, Charlotte Katakuri let out a roar from his heart~~~]
[In this moment, he truly understood....]
[This family belongs to Charlotte Linlin, but it also belongs to them, the Charlotte brothers and sisters!]
[He.... Katakuri, must protect his brothers and sisters!!!]
Shiki: "Hahahahaha!!! Linlin, do you unfilial child want to learn from Luffy and get a one-punch KO from him?!!!"
Rocks D. Xebec: "Haha!! Indeed, the Yonko tradition produces filial children! First Whitebeard, now Linlin, no problem, hahaha!!!"
Charlotte Linlin: "You two fools, do you think this old hag has such a small capacity for anger? If Katakuri can one-punch KO me like Red-Haired Luffy, then the happiest person in this world.... would be this old hag, fool!!!"
Charlotte Katakuri: "Mama...."
Charlotte Linlin: "Don't say anything sentimental!!! Katakuri, look at that version of yourself over there. He is your role model!!! Katakuri, you listen well, work hard! Become strong!!"
Charlotte Linlin: "Try to surpass me, Katakuri!!! ---"
