[Buggy the Clown: ?? Doflamingo, why is it you again? How did you grab the answer chance again?]
[Pirate 1: I never thought the ones to seize the answer chance this time would be two Emperors and two Warlords. Truly unbelievable.]
[Big Mom Charlotte Linlin: Mamamama, JOKER, you're quite quick on the draw. So, you already have an answer in mind?]
[Donquixote Doflamingo: Fufufufu. My answer is Straw Hat Monkey D. Luffy. He is the key to defeating Bullet.]
[Empress Boa Hancock: The same answer as this empress. How vexing that you ended up being the one to get it right.]
[Fire Fist Ace: In this battle, aside from Luffy, there shouldn't be anyone else who could be the key point, right?]
[Yasopp: Actually, this question is quite simple. It's mostly about who grabs the chance first. It's basically a free point.]
["Ding! Donquixote Doflamingo answered incorrectly. Penalty: Eyes turn into mung bean-sized eyes."]
[Donquixote Doflamingo: …What?!]
[Gecko Moria: He actually got it wrong! Although I dislike Straw Hat, who else could influence the outcome of this battle besides him?]
[Buggy the Clown: No way? Could it be this great me? Hahahaha…]
[Eustass Kid: Why is a clown like you stealing the spotlight? It should be this great me! I knew it! How could this great me be easily defeated? I must have regained consciousness and ultimately succeeded in defeating Bullet in Straw Hat's place.]
[Cavendish: Then I think it's possible it was me. Perhaps I discovered Bullet's scheme and rushed to save Straw Hat and the others? If it really was me, then the world's attention will be focused on me once again, hehehehe…]
…
Dressrosa
After the system announced the penalty, Donquixote Doflamingo had a bad feeling.
After mentally preparing himself, he silently took out a mirror, took a deep breath, removed his sunglasses, and looked at his reflection.
????
"Didn't it say they'd turn into mung bean eyes? Why have my eyes completely disappeared?"
Looking at his current appearance in the mirror, Doflamingo couldn't help but feel utterly defeated.
…
Whitebeard Pirates
Seeing Doflamingo get punished, Marco looked worried.
"I never thought the answer wouldn't be Ace's brother. Then who could it be? Pops, what should we do? If we answer wrong, we'll be punished."
Hearing his worried words, Whitebeard just laughed heartily.
"Gurarararara, don't worry, son. Your pops was already prepared for a possible penalty when I grabbed the answer chance. Getting a reward for answering correctly later would be good, but if we're punished, based on the previous penalties given by the system, it won't be life-threatening. So it's fine."
After comforting everyone, Whitebeard gave his answer on the sky screen.
[Whitebeard Edward Newgate: Gurarararara, my answer is Trafalgar Law. Besides Straw Hat boy, this brat's Devil Fruit ability is also very special. So if the answer isn't Luffy, then it should be him.]
[Diamond Jozu: Pops is right. Law must be the correct answer.]
[Captain John: I have to say, Newgate, you make a lot of sense.]
["Ding! Edward Newgate answered incorrectly. Penalty: Experience the injuries received during the Marineford War in the original timeline, but without any actual physical impact."]
[Charlotte Bascarne: Wrong again?! The answer to this question is truly shrouded in mystery.]
[Kaido: Poor Newgate. Even though you won the Marineford War, you still have to receive the injuries. How tragic, Worororororo.]
[Whitebeard Edward Newgate: Gurarararara, Kaido, don't forget you're the next one to answer. I don't believe you'll get it right. I think you should prepare for your upcoming punishment instead, hahahaha… Ugh."]
Whitebeard's laughter was cut short as the system's penalty took effect. In an instant, he felt an intense, sudden pain wrack his body, as if countless attacks were landing on him simultaneously.
Whitebeard endured this onslaught stoically.
Only at the very beginning, caught off guard, did he let out an inadvertent sound.
After that, he remained quiet, silently enduring the pain.
The other members of the Whitebeard Pirates watched with deep concern, their hearts aching at the sight of his suffering.
But since it was a system penalty, they could do nothing to alleviate his pain, leaving them feeling utterly helpless.
While Whitebeard endured the punishment, Kaido, after mocking Whitebeard on the sky screen some more, prepared to answer.
[Kaido: Worororororo, Newgate, what's wrong? Can't handle the pain? Hahaha. Just wait and watch me answer correctly and get a reward. I believe the most crucial person in defeating Bullet should be the Revolutionary Army's Number Two, Sabo.]
[Flying Six Ulti: Lord Kaido is right! Lord Kaido's answer must be correct!]
[Flying Six Page One: Lord Kaido is the strongest! He will definitely get the reward!]
["Ding! Kaido answered incorrectly. Penalty: Will suffer an attack from the 'Filial Piety Blade' at an unspecified time in the future."]
[Charlotte Smoothie: What the hell? What kind of penalty is that?]
[Charlotte Mont-d'Or: What is the 'Filial Piety Blade'? There's actually a penalty like this?]
[Taro: The penalty is set for an unspecified future day? It's not fixed? Doesn't that mean Kaido will have to live in fear every day from now on? After all, he could be attacked by this 'Filial Piety Blade' on any day. How utterly miserable.]
[Marco the Phoenix: Hahahaha, this is hilarious! You were so confident earlier, yet you still got it wrong!]
[Jewelry Bonney: Three people in a row all got it wrong. It's the first time we've seen a situation like this.]
[X-Drake: So now we have a few questions. Who on earth is the system's answer? And can Pirate Empress actually get it right? Could it be that everyone fails this question?]
After seeing the three people before her on the sky screen answer incorrectly and get punished, Empress Boa Hancock pondered for a moment and made a decision.
[Empress Boa Hancock: Luffy, this empress has decided to follow your suggestion. Tell me, who do you think it is?]
[Monkey D. Luffy: Huh? Hancock, you'll listen to me? Then I think it should be Usopp. After all, he's my nakama!]
[God Usopp: Sniff sniff... Luffy, you actually have that much faith in me?]
[Buggy the Clown: Hey, hey, hey, Empress! You're not actually going to listen to Straw Hat, are you? That good-for-nothing long-nose clearly can't be the right answer!]
[Empress Boa Hancock: This empress has decided. This empress's answer is Usopp.]
[Gecko Moria: Poor Empress. Love truly is blind.]
[Pirate 1: I wonder what the Empress's punishment will be? It couldn't be... hehehe.]
["Ding! Congratulations to Boa Hancock for answering correctly. Reward: Petrifying Gaze!"]
[Buggy the Clown: What?! The answer was really that long-nose? How is that possible?]
