At this moment, the special Purple Realm island was surrounded by hundreds of pirate crews and ships, most of them waiting eagerly to participate.
Just then, the captain of the Black Star Pirates, Cai Kun, emerged from the Mystic Realm, his face pale and his injuries severe.
The waiting pirates recognized him immediately.
"Isn't that Cai Kun?"
"Though not a prodigy, many know him. He was quite famous before the mutation."
"I remember he ate the Artificial Devil Fruit, the Bird-Bird Fruit, Chicken Model."
"At that level, he'd be just a regular crew member in our pirate crew, yet he managed to become a captain."
"Before the mutation, he had a lot of fans. After the mutation, many were willing to follow him, even some who were stronger than him. That's how he formed the Black Star Pirates."
"It's now clear that no matter the strength, everyone comes out severely injured. It's not like the weaker ones are doomed to die inside. It seems the Mystic Realm affects people differently. Even the prodigies come out heavily wounded."
"That's why so many pirate crews are waiting. It gives hope even to the weaker captains."
…
The moment Cai Kun emerged, many captains grew impatient, eager to enter.
"My turn."
The captain closest to the Mystic Realm wanted to go in, as the Purple Realm's existence was running out.
"Step aside, I'm going in."
"What are you talking about? It's my turn. I've been here longer."
"What does it matter who came first? This is a Mystic Realm opportunity. There's no first-come, first-served here."
"If you want to fight for it, I'll knock you down first."
"Bring it on. You think I'm scared?"
…
Instantly, many captains began to argue, ready to brawl.
Just then, a sharp voice rang out.
"Get out of the way, don't block the path."
All the pirates turned their heads, their expressions changing.
A ship shaped like an Azure Dragon sailed in, its hull grand and imposing, with a pirate flag bearing the image of a dragon.
Many recognized it immediately.
"The Azure Dragon Pirates!"
"Their captain is Wang Quanshi, who ate the Mythical Zoan Fish-Fish Fruit, Azure Dragon Form!"
"A top-tier prodigy, a top-tier pirate crew!"
…
In an instant, the smaller pirate ships on the sea quickly made way.
The captains who had been fighting to enter immediately backed down, retreating to the side.
Bang!
A figure leaped and landed, tall and burly, with a fierce and arrogant gaze. He didn't even glance at the surrounding pirates as he strode straight into the Purple Realm.
He was Wang Quanshi.
After Wang Quanshi entered, Cai Kun faced a truth-telling interrogation.
A voice echoed from the Mystic Realm.
The pirates watched eagerly, as if enjoying a show.
"What kind of question will it be this time?"
"Only one question, but there are so many types."
"Everyone who comes out is asked a question. They have to answer, even if they don't want to. That's the power of the Truth-Truth Fruit."
"Those who fail the Mystic Realm are asked a question. Those who pass aren't."
…
The voice asked, "Cai Kun, answer one question as punishment for failing the Mystic Realm."
Cai Kun felt uneasy, as the questions were usually quite embarrassing.
"Cai Kun, how long do you last?"
Cai Kun couldn't help but blurt it out, even though he really didn't want to. It was embarrassing, especially with so many people around, and his own pirate crew, who were all his fans.
He tried to keep his mouth shut, but the words just slipped out.
"I... I last three seconds! Because when I was young, I didn't know any better and often relied on myself, so now I only last three seconds."
Pfft!
Immediately, many people around couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha, that's way too short."
"It's just like the author of a novel I'm currently reading—short and weak. The author's name is Yaoxing Bie Xiaolou."
"The last person who failed was asked about the most embarrassing thing, and this time it's about duration."
"These questions are really designed to make people lose face."
"That wouldn't happen to me. If it were me, I wouldn't be embarrassed; I'd be proud because I last an hour."
"Yeah, right."
...
After the questioning, Cai Kun's face turned red with embarrassment.
"Ship's doctor, help me board the ship and let's leave."
The ship's doctor quickly helped Cai Kun onto the ship, and they left in shame.
Not long after, Wang Quanshi emerged, looking grim and seriously injured.
The crew of the Azure Dragon Pirates was shocked.
"Even the Captain couldn't pass?"
"Even though it's purple, it shouldn't be this bad, and he's seriously injured."
"What exactly happened?"
...
Wang Quanshi was exhausted, his face pale. Soon, the executives of the Azure Dragon Pirates rushed to his side.
Although he was seriously injured, since he was from the Azure Dragon Pirates, no one would dare take advantage of the situation to attack him.
He wanted to leave, but he had to answer a question first.
A notification sound rang out.
"Wang Quanshi, please answer: How old are you this year?"
This made everyone realize that it wasn't about age, so the question wouldn't be embarrassing at all.
Wang Quanshi's body stiffened, and he clenched his mouth shut.
The other pirates whispered among themselves.
"He's so tall and muscular; his answer shouldn't be embarrassing."
"That's not necessarily true. It's not something that can be determined by physique alone. Sometimes, muscular guys are actually lacking."
"He looks really upset. Could it be?"
...
This quickly silenced the pirates.
Wang Quanshi answered with a grim expression.
"I'm less than an inch."
Immediately, everyone was stunned.
"Less than an inch?"
"An inch is 3.3 centimeters."
"No wonder he didn't want to answer."
...
The questioning continued.
"Not accurate enough. Answer precisely."
Wang Quanshi answered shamefully, "Two centimeters."
Pfft!
Instantly, the surrounding pirates couldn't help but laugh, though they quickly covered their mouths, not wanting to laugh out loud since it was Wang Quanshi. But they couldn't hold it in.
After answering, Wang Quanshi was furious and shouted, "What are you laughing at!"
The pirates immediately stifled their laughter.
The crew of the Azure Dragon Pirates was also taken aback, looking stunned.
An executive hurriedly reminded him, "Captain, we need to leave quickly. The Dominant Feather Pirate Crew's ship is approaching. It's almost here. You're injured now, and even though we're not afraid of them, it wouldn't be good if a fight broke out."
Wang Quanshi had no choice but to suppress his anger and quickly boarded the ship with assistance.
After all, they had previously warned people not to join the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew. If too many people joined, the Azure Dragon Pirates would have to take action alongside the Flying Sky and Overlord Pirate Crews.
The Dominant Feather Pirate Crew would definitely be hostile toward them, so they needed to leave as soon as possible.
Once on board, the Azure Dragon Pirates quickly sailed away.
Instantly, as other pirate crews were about to compete to enter, a flash of lightning appeared before the Mystic Realm. A stunning figure with an exquisite figure and appearance, yet extremely aloof, was recognized by many.
"It's Lin Muxue."
"The Chosen One Pirate Crew is here, but Lin Muxue has already come ashore so quickly."
"As expected of the Rumble Rumble Fruit Ability User."
...
Lin Muxue glanced at the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew not far away and snorted coldly.
"Ye Yu, you're here too. Then I must enter quickly and pass through, making your trip here in vain."
With that, Lin Muxue entered the Mystic Realm.
At this moment, the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew naturally noticed the Chosen One Pirate Crew and also saw the Azure Dragon Pirate Crew swiftly sailing away.
Wu Xingyun, responsible for telescope reconnaissance, quickly reported.
"Captain, the Azure Dragon Pirate Crew is in such a hurry to leave because Wang Quanshi didn't pass and is seriously injured. They're clearly afraid we'll take advantage of the situation to deal with them."
Ye Yu sneered coldly: "Thinking of leaving just like that? Not so fast. At the very least, we need to get some payback."
With those words, Ye Yu leaped into action.
