Chapter 1318: Tesoro's Little Surprise! (Two-in-One)
Marine Calendar 1504, July 1st.
The 'Selection Trial' of the 'Myriad Worlds Top 100 Combat Power Tournament', which took a full month, finally concluded yesterday.
The officials from the 'Organizing Department' followed the requirements of the 'Propaganda Department'.
They worked overnight to compile the number of contestants from each world, as well as several notable special contestants.
After obtaining the data, the officials from the 'Propaganda Department' immediately delivered it to Tesoro's desk, who had been promoted to Minister.
In the Office, Morgans, who had been promoted to Director of the Press Agency, sat across the desk, having waited for a long time.
He looked anxiously at Tesoro, whose ten fingers were adorned with gold rings, and who was reviewing the data.
At the same time, he cursed inwardly, why didn't those idiots make more copies?
"Heh, aside from a small surprise, I'd say there's nothing unexpected."
Tesoro said with a chuckle after reading, then tossed the document to Morgans.
Morgans quickly picked it up. The document read:
[Sea Star World Contestants: 2024]
[No.0001 Kabaneri World, Contestants: 2]
[No.0002 Demon Slayer World, Contestants: 10]
[No.0003 Titan World, Contestants: 32, Note: All are minority races from the former Falmart World]
[No.0004 Imperial Arms World, Contestants: 326]
[No.0005 Zero Magic World, Contestants: 105]
[No.0006 Ninja World, Contestants: 315]
[No.0007 Nuclear World, Contestants: 3]
[No.0009 Beast God World, Contestants: 1, Note: Contestant Hank Henriette, registered in the Alabasta selection trial zone in the first half of the Grand Line in the Sea Star World]
It's worth mentioning that although the Falmart World has been confirmed to be abandoned.
The World Government still retained the No.0008 number, which serves as a reminder for the people from that world.
"The number of contestants from other worlds combined is only seven hundred and ninety-four, not even half of our Sea Star World's..."
Morgans calculated the data in an instant, but the result left him somewhat speechless.
Or rather, just as Tesoro had said, there really were no surprises.
As for the small surprise, it should refer to that Hank Henriette.
The Beast God World, strictly speaking, has not yet been ruled by the World Government, yet someone from there could participate in this 'Top 100 Tournament'. This is indeed a piece of news material worth promoting.
Morgans pondered finding someone to understand the current situation of the 'Beast God World', preferably getting some pictures or footage.
Combined with the data on the contestant Hank, it should make for a good report.
Then Morgans continued reading. Below were the special contestants recommended by the subordinate officials.
Indeed, the people below weren't foolish either; Hank Henriette was listed among them.
Besides him, there was Rory Mercury.
Whether it was her previous identity as a 'Half-God' and 'Death God' in the 'Falmart World'.
Or her current identity as the first Otherworlder daughter newly adopted by 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate.
The news points surrounding her were enough to attract attention.
Crucially, the person herself was also very beautiful!
"The 'Beast King' Hank from the Beast God World, the 'Death God' Rory from the Falmart World..."
"The 'Imperial Prince' Qin Su and the 'Sword Princess' Yajime Hime from the Imperial Arms World..."
"Doctor Umibozu Tian Zhi and the 'Evil Ninja' Lian Ya from the Ninja World..."
"'Green Bull Disciple' Daidai Dao, huh? Green Bull Disciple?"
Morgans was instantly astonished. He widened his bird eyes and carefully examined the explanation above.
[According to the Shinobi Sect, Daidai Dao is a Samurai from the Land of Iron. Admiral Aramaki, the 'Green Bull' of the Army Headquarters, personally taught him Haki and Swordsmanship, hence he can be called 'Green Bull Disciple' or 'Green Bull Samurai'.]
"The idea of the people below is good. That Admiral Aramaki will soon be the real 'Admiral Green Bull'."
Tesoro grinned, "But if this Daidai Dao doesn't get good results, the value of this gimmick will be greatly reduced."
"Admiral Green Bull, huh? So that's it... Wait, aren't the Army Admirals already at full capacity?"
Morgans looked at Tesoro with doubt.
Akainu, Ghost Shark, Sand Crocodile, aren't those exactly three Admirals?
Tesoro thought for a moment. This matter would be announced at the Reverie two months later, so it wasn't exactly confidential.
He then briefly revealed to him that the Army Headquarters would expand to six Admirals.
"Morgans, this matter cannot be reported as news before the Reverie is held, understand?"
Tesoro narrowed his eyes and issued a warning.
He was actually trying to use this not-so-small secret to see if Morgans could keep his mouth shut and if he was worth trusting.
If something went wrong later.
Then he would never tell the other party anything again in the future.
"Oh—I understand, I understand. Ah, I knew I shouldn't have asked. It's too hard to keep such a big matter bottled up!"
Morgans shook his large bird head helplessly.
"But why are they all otherworlders? Don't we have any contestants from our Sea Star World who are worth paying attention to? Oh, here they are..."
"What? Goethe, the third-place winner from the previous Top 100 Tournament, is here too!"
Morgans suddenly widened his bird eyes, his face full of surprise.
It should be known that the top ten from the previous Top 100 Tournament have basically achieved great success by now.
The first place, Muzan Kibutsuji.
He is not only a doctor at the Biochemical Research Institute but also a professional instructor in Life Return at the Military and Political Department.
He also holds the somewhat insignificant identity of 'Demon Slayer World International Alliance Chairman'.
The second place, Benn Beckman.
He recently accepted Doflamingo's invitation to join the Adventurer's Guild and become the President of the North Sea Branch.
As the Association's scale continues to grow in the future, he will undoubtedly be a big shot of considerable importance.
The fourth place, Yasopp.
His current status is a member of CIPHER POL No.9, though this is unknown to the outside world.
The fifth place, Tengen Uzui.
Hmm... the Second Sea Shadow of the Sea Ninja Village.
Hokage Madara Uchiha and Wood Shadow Hashirama Senju are his subordinates.
The sixth place, Mima Amatori.
captain of CIPHER POL No.8, also a confidential figure to the outside world.
The seventh place, Morgan William.
boss of the East Sea Morgan Company and also the East Sea Branch President of the Adventurer's Guild.
The eighth place, Muichiro Tokito.
He just turned nineteen this year and is now a Seventh Dan Sword Master at Master Yudao, having awakened the 'Demon Slayer Mark' and 'Transparent World'.
As a Seventh Dan Sword Master, he is stationed at Master Yudao Headquarters, serving as a Protector of Master Yudao.
At the same time, he supervises the Hall Masters of all Yudao Halls and School Masters of Yudao Schools in three cities.
A Yudao School is a Kendo Dojo.
And a Yudao Hall is a Kendo Dojo with a larger scale and higher rank.
The swordsmanship atmosphere in the Sea Star World is excellent.
After all, schools are now teaching 'Breathing Style' and 'Swordsmanship' for free.
Furthermore, the World Government is in a state of war year-round, leading to the emergence of a large number of Kendo Dojos in various cities.
Master Yudao created this set of order rules to manage them.
Actually, a Protector can supervise up to ten cities.
But Mihawk saw that he was still young, so he started him with three cities to practice...
The ninth place, Levi Ackerman.
He is simple; a subordinate of Mima Amatori, a member of CIPHER POL No.8. It's estimated he'll find it hard to advance further.
However, Levi himself quite likes his current life of following orders and having frequent missions.
Finally, the tenth place, Sanemi Shinazugawa.
He is currently an Ability User of the Animal System Insect-Insect Fruit, Rhino Beetle Form.
He is also a Senior Colonel in the Army Headquarters Second Main Combat Division.
It's estimated he'll be promoted to Commodore soon.
By then, he will truly be an Admiral-level Combat Power under Admiral Ghost Shark Douglas Bullet.
Therefore, those who can achieve a 'Top 10' ranking in the 'Top 100 Tournament' have a high probability of having excellent future prospects.
So, what about 'Goethe', the third-place winner?
"Goethe is actually his alias!"
Morgans exclaimed after reading the data investigated by his subordinates.
"That's right, Goethe's real identity is Uunan, the 'Golden Pirate' who was quite famous in 'Paradise' back then. Isn't Goethe just 'gold'?"
Tesoro, with a face full of smiles, slowly twisted his right palm covered in gold rings.
"Hahahaha, a guy with very correct aesthetics, whose flying slash attack is even golden. I like him very much, what a nice surprise..."
Now Morgans understood.
The small surprise Tesoro mentioned earlier wasn't Hank at all, but this Uunan.
That makes sense, the third-place winner from the previous competition participating again can indeed be considered a surprise.
It will definitely become a big news!
In addition.
There was Kyros, the 'Three Thousand Victories Sword Fighting Beast' from the Dressrosa Kingdom.
Chaka the 'Jackal', one of the 'Guardian Deities' of the Alabasta Kingdom.
Dalton the 'Bison', the 'King's Army Commander' of the Drum Kingdom, and others.
These were all contestants highlighted in the document as worth special attention.
Tesoro was not surprised by this.
The kingdoms on the Sea Star World were about to disappear, or rather, they had already effectively disappeared.
The announcement at the Reverie was merely a nominal formality.
So, the Commanders, Captains, and Adjutants of these 'Royal Army'.
Began to set their sights on the Adventurer's Guild and the Top 100 Tournament, seeing them as a new way out for themselves.
Incidentally, they used this method to 'tell' the World Government that they had no intention of joining the military.
"Alright, send it to Stella. Once she's familiarized herself, the number of contestants from each world will be reported on tonight's 'World News Broadcast'. The data of other important contestants will be printed in tomorrow's 'World Economic Journal'."
Tesoro instructed Morgans.
"Yes, Minister."
Morgans agreed and quickly stood up to leave the office.
"Heh, I also need to start preparing the performance program for this year's 'Liberation Day'..."
Tesoro waited until the door closed again.
He looked at the shining gold rings on his hands and pondered to himself.
Every year on the night the 'Reverie' ends.
A 'Liberation Day Gala' will be held at the 'Sabaody Dome' on the Sabaody Archipelago.
This is to celebrate the World Government liberating all slaves, including those in the 'Holy Land Mary Geoise'.
In years without a 'Reverie', there would also be a small celebration on September 15th.
This has become the most important festival of the Sea Star civilization.
And what belongs to the Sea Star World, belongs to the Myriad Worlds.
Other worlds under the rule of the World Government have also successively set September 15th as a holiday.
At the same time, the 'Liberation Day Gala' is broadcast on a large scale.
This is even somewhat compulsory in the 'Demon Slayer World'.
Because no other programs can be seen on television before it ends.
Therefore, each 'Liberation Day Gala' is actually aimed at tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions, of audience from multiple worlds.
And this number will only increase as the World Government's conquest expands.
It can be called the highest level stage in the entertainment industry under the World Government!
"The song I composed this time will definitely outshine everyone. Whether it's Queen or Brook, they will all have to submit to this song, 'Highest Reaching Point'. The long night is about to break~ Towards the highest point~~"
Suddenly, Tesoro complacently hummed the song in his mind.
It was very pleasant to listen to...
Exactly 7 PM, the incredibly beautiful Stella.
Appeared on countless television screens or virtual screens on time.
Once again astonishing hundreds of millions of viewers across various worlds.
However, today, most people were more concerned about the content Stella was reporting.
A moment later, the number of contestants from each world who successfully passed the 'Top 100 Selection' was officially announced.
A total of 2,818 people!
But only 100 contestants can pass the 'Reincarnation Paradise Point Match'.
Finally, these 100 people will have one-on-one duels in the Sea Star World to determine the final ranking of this 'Top 100 Tournament'!
For the Sea Star people, 2,024 was not a number worth making a fuss about.
Let alone two thousand people, even if three thousand or four thousand passed, they wouldn't find it strange.
So they paid more attention to the number of contestants from other worlds.
This data allowed them to directly understand the approximate strength of each world.
Clearly, the Imperial Arms World and the Ninja World were the strongest, followed by the Zero Magic World, and then the Titan World.
The remaining Kabaneri World, Demon Slayer World, and Nuclear World seemed almost equally weak.
But what was that Beast God World? They hadn't heard of it before...
However, compared to the calm Sea Star people.
The audience in the Kabaneri World, Demon Slayer World, and Nuclear World were extremely surprised.
Because they had long thought that the 'Top 100 Tournament' had little to do with their own worlds.
Almost every day before, they would hear news of some famous professional boxer, or some top-tier martial artist, failing the 'selection trial event'.
Rumors even spread that even the military's soldier kings were helpless against these 'selection trial events'.
This made the citizens of the three worlds gradually become numb from disappointment.
They began to accept in their minds that their physique was weak.
Instead of wasting time practicing martial arts, it was better to study scientific knowledge diligently.
Perhaps in the future, they could enter the World Government as researchers...
But who knew that a few people actually passed the 'selection trial'.
They could compete with experts from other worlds on the same stage!
This was undoubtedly a huge surprise.
Even if it was two, or three, it was enough as long as there were some!
They didn't expect them to enter the 'Top 100 Ranking Match', just to return alive from 'Reincarnation Paradise'.
It would be best if they could see some footage of their own contestants fighting bravely against terrifying otherworld monsters and achieving victory, that would be even more exciting!
Therefore, almost instantly.
Kibito, Uryuu, Masahiko Kimura, Jack Dempsey, Yimi, Anthony Biddle, Chapaev, Valery, Alexei, and others.
Became well-known top stars in their respective worlds!
As for Hank Henriette from the 'Beast God World'.
Because his hometown was currently erupting in a world war.
Only a few 'compatriots' like Elaine and Cain were paying attention...
In such a warm and lively atmosphere, and under the calls of countless citizens from various worlds.
The contestants who passed the 'selection trial', organized by the 'Competition Organizing Department', began to head to the location of 'Reincarnation Paradise'.
The Canberra Continent in the Titan World!
Marine Calendar 1504, July 1st.
The 'Selection Trial' of the 'Myriad Worlds Top 100 Combat Power Tournament', which took a full month, finally concluded yesterday.
