[Buggy the Clown: But why is it only Straw Hat Luffy alone? Didn't the others come?]
Besides Buggy, the rest of the audience shared this confusion.
Afterwards, as if to answer everyone's questions, the sky screen's view shifted away from the coliseum to the other members of the Straw Hat crew.
〖While Luffy was fighting to seize the Flame-Flame Fruit, Franky encountered a one-legged toy soldier and teamed up with him.
Robin and Usopp arrived in Tontatta Kingdom and met the Tontatta tribe.
As for Sanji, the moment he appeared, he was completely captivated by a dancer. And Zoro, as always, stayed true to his hopeless sense of direction.
Finally, Nami, Chopper, Brook, and Momonosuke's group, while staying behind on the Thousand Sunny, faced off against Jora, an executive of the Donquixote Pirates, engaging in a bizarre battle.〗
[Black Leg Sanji: Oooh la la! That lady, is her name Violet-chan? She's utterly enchanting! Has my springtime finally arrived?]
[Gecko Moria: Strange, who's that little brat that showed up later? Could he be a new member who joined the Straw Hats after the two years?]
[Kurozumi Orochi: Wait, what kind of joke is this? That samurai... isn't that the Red Scabbard Kin'emon? Why is he still alive?]
[King the Wildfire: That kid looks familiar too. He looks a bit like Oden's son, Momonosuke. But if he is Momonosuke, it's impossible for him to still be a child now!]
[Queen the Plague: Could it be that the prophecy of that woman, Toki or whatever her name was, was actually true? She could really send people into the future? Today, 20 years later, Momonosuke from 20 years ago and the lead Red Scabbard, Foxfire Kin'emon, stand before us once more.]
[Kaido of the Beasts: Wororororo! So it's Oden's son? He looks far too weak, completely incomparable to Oden. It's a shame I'll never meet a man like Oden again. His son is just a joke.]
[Jack the Drought: Even if he is a joke, as Oden's son, of course we can't let him live. Momonosuke, is it? You'd better hide well from now on. We, the Beasts Pirates, have our eyes on you now, hahahaha…!]
[Flying Six Who's-Who: You're making threats too early. Based on the timeline, Momonosuke and those samurai haven't arrived at this point in time yet. Even if you say this, they can't hear you.]
[Flying Six Page One: I think it's perfect this way. Saying it early also lets others know our stance. This way, those who dare to help Momonosuke will have to carefully consider if they dare to oppose our Beasts Pirates, hahahaha…!]
…
Wano Country, Flower Capital
Wano's number one oiran, Komurasaki, was currently at the base of the Flower Capital's yakuza boss, Kyoshiro.
Looking at the familiar figure in the video, she couldn't hold back her tears.
"Denjiro, that person… is that my brother?"
"Yes, Lady Hiyori. That person is indeed your elder brother, Lord Momonosuke. Lady Toki's prophecy has come true. And judging by the sky screen's timeline, Lord Momonosuke and the others will return in just two more years."
The man known as the sleepy Kyoshiro, the Red Scabbard Denjiro, answered Komurasaki excitedly.
Meanwhile, in Udon, Ringo, Kuri, and other regions, the samurai began to cheer with excitement.
…
On the sky screen, Momonosuke's appearance had drawn the attention of the Beasts Pirates.
After showing the situations of the other Straw Hat members, the system shifted the view back to Luffy.
〖After a massive free-for-all in Block C, only four contestants remained standing on the stage.
These four were the Destroyer Cannon Ideo, the 12th Leader of the Happo Navy, Chinjao, its 13th Leader, Sai, and the familiar Straw Hat Luffy.
Among the four, Ideo faced off against Sai. His Explosive Punch collided with Sai's Hasshoken, the impact nearly engulfing the entire stage.
On the other side, Luffy faced the legendary great pirate Chinjao, who once had a bounty of 500 million Berries.
The moment Chinjao saw Luffy, he viciously threatened him.
"To think I'd meet you here, grandson of Garp. In that case, you shall atone for your grandfather's sins. Straw Hat brat, that bastard grandfather of yours took immeasurable treasure from me. He stole my power, and even stole the memories of my youth. All of it, you will repay it now."
Hearing this, Luffy looked utterly bewildered.
"So what does that have to do with me? I don't know anything about your business. If you have questions, go ask my grandpa."
Chinjao, however, completely ignored Luffy's words. He put his hands together, ready to launch an attack.
"For the current me, even taking Garp's life would hardly quell my hatred. I must make him live to taste the sorrow of losing someone important. That is to say, I must kill you. Prepare yourself, Straw Hat brat."
Seeing his attitude, Luffy knew reasoning with Chinjao was impossible. He immediately entered Gear Second, deciding to fight.
Steam began billowing from Luffy's body once again.
Luffy himself responded to Chinjao with a fierce fighting spirit.
"You... looks like I have no choice but to fight you. But I was going to beat you anyway, otherwise I can't advance. Well then, bring it on! I won't let anyone have the Flame-Flame Fruit!"
"You brat, you're just as arrogant as your grandfather! Then, Straw Hat brat, I'll finish you right here!"
Chinjao roared, charging straight at Luffy, who also rushed forward.
Just then, Ideo and Sai, who were fighting intensely nearby, suddenly appeared between the two.
The next moment, something surprising happened.
Sai was kicked flying by Luffy, while Ideo was punched to the ground by Chinjao.
After defeating them, Luffy and Chinjao didn't stop. Their fists, coated in Armament Haki, collided.
With a tremendous crash, the shockwave from their colliding fists knocked out all the already defeated contestants nearby.
Even the bloodthirsty Fighting Fish happily leaping outside the arena rolled their eyes and fainted.
But that was far from the end. A terrifying storm erupted from the point where Luffy and Chinjao's fists met.
This storm swept all the remaining contestants off the stage, leaving only Luffy and Chinjao standing.〗
