Chapter 405: World Government Multiverse Top 100 Combat Power Competition!
"Creator?"
Elder Utgard was stunned for a moment, then, ignoring the pain on his face, he laughed mockingly.
"Saul, if you're referring to those Celestial Dragons, then This Old Man has to wonder if your Brain has been controlled by some evil Ability!"
King Harald and the others outside the Island also sneered repeatedly.
As mentioned before, with the Giant Tribe's Lifespan of over three hundred years, nine hundred years is merely three generations, so they Understand the Celestial Dragons very clearly.
What Creator? That's simply nonsense; they are nothing but a bunch of usurpers.
If there truly was a Creator, it could only be the Moon People who established the Great Kingdom.
After all, even the 'Bloody Great Serpent', which couldn't be pierced by the 'True Hakkoku', was created by them!
The so-called 'True Hakkoku' is a 'Hakoku' unleashed by the two strongest Giants working together. Legend says it can kill a Giant Elephant tens of thousands of meters tall with a single blow!
However, Saul's subsequent words stunned Elder Utgard in front of him.
"Hmph, the Celestial Dragons have always been 'Descendants of the Creator'. The Creator I'm talking about is naturally Im... uh..."
Saul, somewhat overcome with Hot Blood, blurted out the Name, only to feel a chill like ice water pouring over his head, instantly calming him down.
Because he suddenly remembered that Lord Imu had previously instructed him not to publicly reveal his Identity and Name, and to refer to him by the Name Saint Nerona instead.
This caused the 'Im' part of Saul's subsequent words to be slurred. The Big Shots watching the Live Broadcast didn't hear it clearly, but Elder Utgard did!
"Im..."
Elder Utgard muttered the Name several times in his Heart, but the more he thought about it, the more Familiar it felt, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Just at this moment, Saul, trying to cover something up, attacked again, simultaneously activating his Devil Fruit Ability to create a large amount of earth and rock constructs to assist his offensive.
From then on.
He didn't say another word!
"That Saul fellow almost caused me a huge disaster. I don't want to make my debut so easily..."
On the Moon, Im narrowed his eyes in displeasure, thinking of teaching him a lesson when he returned.
Fortunately, only the 'yi' sound was relatively clear. He figured that besides the Five Elders, no one would connect it to his Name, especially since over nine hundred years had passed...
Just as he thought, Sengoku, Garp, and the others didn't think of anything specific, wondering if it was a Celestial Dragon surname starting with 'yi'.
It was just that the Celestial Dragon Saul was guarding might have a high opinion of himself or a high Status among the Celestial Dragons, so he referred to himself as the 'Creator' instead of one of the many 'Descendants'.
Although it seemed ridiculous, thinking that it was a Celestial Dragon made it understandable...
Meanwhile, Im had lost interest in the Combat on the Virtual Screen, unless that Giant Elder used 'Hakoku', which would be worth watching for the spectacle.
Now, he suddenly had an interesting idea.
"This kind of Duel is somewhat interesting. Could I have the World Government host a specialized Competition?"
The next second, a string of large characters appeared in Im's Brain.
World Martial Arts Tournament!
He had to admit, these words sparked a strong interest in him.
As a Transmigrator, he knew very well how fun Competitions could be.
Moreover, many Manga, Novel, and other Fantasy Works often involved this or that Competition, where the Protagonist would often shine brightly and even become famous overnight.
He certainly couldn't participate personally, given his Status.
As for disguising himself and acting weak to surprise others, he really wasn't very interested; there was no need.
But he could host the Competition!
Then, watching the contestants fight desperately in front of him, striving only to receive the Reward he bestowed, how interesting would that be?
Since he was going to host it, he definitely couldn't be Petty. The Scale and influence must be large enough, and the Value of the Rewards must be high enough!
So, let the World Government be the host, with the scope of participation covering the entire World and all conquered Otherworlds. In the Future, various Strengths and Abilities would bloom on the stage, competing against each other.
As for the Rewards, they could include high Prize Money, and various High-Grade Resources, such as Devil Fruits, Meito, Biochemical Serum, and they could even receive invitations from the Military...
Im began Brainstorming.
What about the hosting Time?
Once a year? No, since it involves Otherworlds, the interval cannot be too short.
How about once every three years?
Or once every five years?
He suddenly picked up a valuable Pen and began recording on a new piece of white Paper, muttering to himself, "What about the Competition Zone Division?"
He vaguely remembered that in the 'Dragon Ball' World Martial Arts Tournament, participants were first tested for their Punching Strength, and those who met the standard could enter the venue for the preliminary Selection Trial.
Then, they were divided into eight Great Zones based on drawing lots. The final winner of each Great Zone would be among the top eight, and finally, the Elimination Round would take place in front of tens of thousands of Audience.
"But this isn't very applicable..."
Just take the first step, testing Punching Strength. What if a Gunman comes, or someone who isn't skilled in Martial Arts but has mastered a certain Secret Technique?
In Im's idea, the Competition he wanted to host must be colorful.
Regardless of Ability, or what Weapon is used, as long as one possesses Combat Power and is confident in facing the various Means of other Powerhouses, they can participate.
Even if they encounter an Opponent who completely counters them, they can only blame their bad Luck, as Luck is also part of Strength.
"It seems I can only remove this step and select the Experts who can enter the Elimination Round through a Selection Trial..."
However, there's also a problem here.
What if two Experts coincidentally meet in the Selection Trial?
"A Revival Round can be added to give these Experts a chance. If they still don't Advance after this, it means they aren't Strong enough..."
Im thought and recorded simultaneously. This process filled him with Joy; he liked doing this kind of Matter~~
Let the Sea Star World become lively!
"Otherworlders will first undergo an Assessment in their Homeland, and then be sent to the World and divided into various Competition Zones. As for the Competition Zones, they will be divided into four Great Zones based on the Sea Area: the East Blue Competition Zone, the South Blue Competition Zone, the West Blue Competition Zone, and the North Blue Competition Zone."
"The top one hundred from each Competition Zone will then gather in the First Half of the Grand Line for the Top 100 Elimination Round, and the final top ten will participate in the finals..."
Im pondered for a Long Time about this final Competition Zone, completely ignoring the increasingly heated Giant Battle on the Virtual Screen. Anyway, they would definitely fight for several days.
"Right!"
"Let's use Elbaf Kingdom!" He made the Decision, thinking to himself.
A Nation of Warriors, a Nation of Giants, the Strongest Nation. He figured it would be enough to shock the Otherworld contestants and the Sea Star World contestants from other Sea Areas.
He had previously considered setting it in Dressrosa, which has a long history of Gladiatorial Culture, as it already has a Bullfighting Colosseum.
But compared to a single colosseum, he felt the Giant Kingdom had more prestige and would be more appealing.
"Finally, the Name of this Competition."
"Since it's hosted by the World Government, it must have 'World Government' as a prefix. Then, since Otherworlders are participating, add the words 'Multiverse'. The rest is just for show..."
A moment later, Im blurted out a string of words, a bright Radiance shining in his Gaze.
"World Government Multiverse Top 100 Combat Power Competition!"
