Chapter 98 - Chapter 98: The Eternal Pose to Laugh Tale

["Ding, next respondent, Dellinger, please answer the question."]

While Kid was losing his composure over the women's clothing incident, the system spoke again, urging Dellinger to answer.

[Dellinger: If it's not Kid, then it should be Capone Bege, right? He seems pretty strong too. I choose D, Capone Bege.]

["Ding! Dellinger has answered incorrectly. Punishment: Lose the ability to use high-heel-based attacks."]

[Dellinger: What? How could this be? Really, I thought I could get it right. To actually get punished... Ugh, that guy called Kid, I wish I could swap punishments with you.]

[Eustass Kid: You bastard, are you mocking me?]

[Dellinger: I am not!]

Dellinger spoke somewhat angrily, as he genuinely meant it.

Having been raised as a girl by Giolla since childhood, wearing women's clothing wasn't that shameful for him.

For him, just wearing women's clothing for a year was a much better punishment than losing his high-heel attacks.

However, Kid obviously couldn't understand Dellinger's perspective, so he believed Dellinger was provoking him.

Just then, it was Chopper's turn to answer.

[Pirate 1: Two people in a row got it wrong? Now there are only two options left. A fifty-fifty chance. That guy called Chopper should be able to get it right, right?]

[Pirate 2: What fifty-fifty chance? Isn't the answer obvious now? Usopp definitely can't be the correct answer.]

[Pirate 3: Right. Although Usopp's sniping skills are strong, his actual combat ability is weak. And in the video, he was already defeated by Bullet early on. Even if he wasn't, there's no way he could possibly stop Bullet.]

Everyone on the sky screen looked down on Usopp, believing he couldn't possibly be the correct answer.

They also thought that although Chopper and Usopp were both crewmates on Luffy's ship, Chopper definitely wouldn't be sentimental and would choose the real answer.

However, Chopper's next answer took everyone by surprise.

[Tony Tony Chopper: I choose A, Usopp. I believe he will definitely save Luffy. He would never just stand by and watch Luffy get hurt.]

[Pirate 1: Hey, little reindeer, what are you doing? This is no time for sentimentality! How could Usopp possibly be the right answer?]

[Pirate 2: Looks like Iceburg is going to get a freebie. Poor little reindeer is about to be punished.]

Many pirates who liked Chopper couldn't bear the thought of him being punished.

And then...

["Ding! Congratulations, Tony Tony Chopper, for answering correctly. Reward: Imperial Arm - God's Hands (Perfecto)."]

[Buggy the Clown: What?! It was actually that long-nose? You've got to be kidding me!]

[Queen the Plague: To think the one who ended up saving Straw Hat was that most useless guy... truly unbelievable.]

[Perona: How could it be that guy? Impossible!]

...

On the sky screen, many people couldn't accept that Usopp was the correct answer.

Meanwhile, Chopper, currently on the Kingdom of Birds in the South Blue, was already checking his system reward.

The Imperial Arm, God's Hands (Perfecto), is a surgeon-type imperial arm that takes the form of a pair of gloves.

It can make the movements of the fingers hundreds of times more precise, allowing the user to create all kinds of delicate weapons and also to perform surgery on the human body.

For Chopper, whose original form is a reindeer, these gloves would allow him to make Rumble Balls and treat Luffy and the others even better.

Therefore, Chopper's attention was no longer on the video but was instead focused on delightfully fiddling with the imperial arm, his face full of excitement.

Of course, after the system's question ended and the video started playing again, Chopper would still look at the sky screen.

After all, he was also worried about Luffy's safety in the video and wanted to make sure he was okay before he could rest easy.

The viewers, completely unable to believe that Usopp had saved Luffy, watched the resumed video with intense concentration, not daring to blink for fear of missing any important details.

〖Just as Bullet's foot was about to land on Luffy, a faint crackle sound was heard.

He stopped his movement and turned around curiously.

At that moment, a look of surprise appeared on Bullet's face.

Because he saw that Usopp, who had been knocked out by him from the very start, had actually stood up.

"You bastard, stop right there! I won't let you lay a hand on my captain! Now, your opponent is me!"

As Usopp spoke, he used his slingshot to continuously fire seed attacks at Bullet.

"My captain has already risked his life for me. How could I just lie there and do nothing?!"

Usopp shouted loudly. Even though his attacks had little effect on the giant Bullet, he still didn't give up, firing seed after seed.

Then, at the final moment, one seed finally embedded itself into Bullet's finger.

Upon impact, the seed began to grow, transforming into a vine that forcefully twisted and broke one of Bullet's fingers.〗

[Buggy the Clown: I can't believe it was actually the long-nose who stopped Bullet. I thought the sky screen had made a mistake earlier.]

[Gecko Moria: So what if he stopped him? That trash is completely useless! All he does is use a slingshot. Does he really think he can defeat Bullet like that? It's utterly ridiculous.]

[Pirate 1: Right. Even the Supernovas are no match for Bullet. What can a mere Usopp possibly do?]

[Bartolomeo: I believe in Senior Usopp! He can definitely do it!]

[Pirate 2: You fanboy, stop being overconfident. How could he possibly defeat Bullet? If Usopp can do it, I'll...]

[Pirate 3: Stop talking! One of Usopp's attacks worked! He actually broke one of the mecha's fingers! So unexpected.]

[Pirate 4: What's so great about that? That's all he can do. Look, Bullet in the video is about to blast him with a cannon. Under such an attack, Usopp is no cause for concern.]

[Pirate 5: Sigh, it's over. Usopp's been taken out too. Is it going to be Straw Hat's turn next?]

[Pirate 6: Looks like not... look! Bullet opened the treasure chest! Th-that thing inside is...]

[Charlotte Katakuri: It's actually...]

〖"Hahahaha! On this ocean, only one person can obtain all of this. He will be the strongest king of these seas!"

Bullet laughed heartily. As he spoke, the object hidden within the treasure chest was gradually revealed to everyone.

It was a compass.

An Eternal Pose recording a single island.

And the name of that island was: Laugh Tale.

This was a Permanent Pose pointing to the final island, Laugh Tale.〗
