# Chapter 534: The Turning Point of Fate!
"Thank you very much for Chairman Fernandez's speech. I believe the Top 100 Contestants have deeply felt the Chairman's encouragement and expectations in his words."
Stella faced all the guests below the stage, displaying her most enthusiastic demeanor, causing many Kings and Nobles to show infatuated expressions.
Honestly speaking.
If Stella were not an official member of the Propaganda Department, some of them surely would have been unable to suppress the Evil in their hearts.
"Now, we will proceed to the Award Ceremony."
"Please welcome the contestants who achieved rankings from 100th to 91st in the Top 100 Ranking Match to come on stage and receive their awards."
As Stella watched the ten Top 100 Contestants walk onto the stage and line up in a row, she occasionally glanced at her cue card and introduced them in a clear voice.
"They will receive huge prize money ranging from 50 million to 59 million Berry."
"A Top 100 Coat made primarily from a special fiber originating from the 'Demon Slayer World', possessing excellent breathability, moisture resistance, flame resistance, resistance to cold and heat, and the ability to withstand ordinary swords, guns, and bullets."
"A Plaque printed with the year of participation in the Combat Power Competition, their ranking, name, nickname, and a verifiable official serial number."
"Using this Plaque, they can receive free services at any service industry under the World Government, such as treatment at the World Hospital."
"Finally, and most importantly, they will receive the 'Star Gate Pass' granted by the Otherworld Strategy Committee. From now on, they can freely travel between different Worlds!"
At this moment, Chairman Fernandez had already handed the ten contestants the boxes containing Berry Banknotes and their Plaques.
He also told them that the Plaque was actually the 'Star Gate Pass'.
Finally, he personally draped each of them with the vermilion-based Top 100 Coat.
The style of this Top 100 Coat was exactly the same as the Coat of Justice, except the bold Chinese characters on the back read 'Top 100'.
Additionally, on the right sleeve, there was an armband printed with their respective ranking in Chinese characters.
For example, One Hundred, Ninety-Nine, Ninety-Eight...
Next.
As Stella spoke again and again.
Ten contestants went on stage in groups, one after another, to receive their awards personally from Chairman Fernandez.
Then, carrying their black boxes and wearing their Top 100 Coats, they walked down from the other end.
Whether it was the guests present or the Audience watching the Live Broadcast, everyone enthusiastically applauded each time.
This kept the Atmosphere high, giving the Top 100 Contestants ample honor.
But everyone knew clearly that they were waiting for the 'Top 10 contestants'!
"With this, the top ninety Top 100 Contestants have all received their awards. Next, let us solemnly invite the tenth place contestant of this year's 'Myriad Worlds Combat Power Tournament'."
"From the 'Demon Slayer World', former 'Demon Slayer Corps' 'Wind Hashira', and current Army Headquarters Major, contestant Sanemi Shinazugawa!!"
After nearly an hour and a half had passed.
Finally, Stella, using a voice even more enthusiastic than before, raised her left hand and shouted loudly into the Microphone.
At this moment, Sanemi Shinazugawa had already stood up, suppressing the Excitement in his Heart, and walked up the stone steps one step at a time.
At this moment.
He clearly felt the Fate that was about to bring a turning point to his life rushing towards him from above, causing the Muscles all over his body to tremble slightly.
"Everyone should already know that besides receiving the huge prize money exceeding 100 million and the rewards that all Top 100 Contestants receive, the Top 10 contestants can also independently request a High-Grade Special Resource from the World Government, including Devil Fruits, Haki Cultivation Methods, and so on!"
After her introduction, Stella quietly watched Sanemi Shinazugawa walk onto the stage to receive various rewards and Encouragement from Chairman Fernandez.
After he was draped with the Top 100 Coat, she spoke into the Microphone again: "Now, contestant Sanemi Shinazugawa, please state what you want!"
"I want the Animal System Bug-Bug Fruit, Rhino Beetle Form Devil Fruit!"
Sanemi Shinazugawa seemed to have made his Decision long ago. Without hesitation, he strained his Neck and shouted loudly, making his Expression look somewhat fierce.
He would definitely follow the path of a Swordsman in the future. To become a true Sword Master, or even a Great Swordsman, the requirements for Physique and Physical Ability are very high.
Originally, he had wanted a tube of 'Cell Reinforcement Serum', but Muzan Kibutsuji's appearance made him immediately change his request to an Animal System Devil Fruit.
As for why it was a 'Rhino Beetle'?
This was purely personal preference. He had liked Rhino Beetles since childhood and also liked raising them.
"No problem. When you return to the Army Headquarters, someone will naturally deliver this Devil Fruit to your residence!"
Chairman Fernandez first inquired with the Official from the Holy Land Treasury beside him, then agreed to Sanemi Shinazugawa's request in front of the numerous Transponder Snails.
The latter was Ecstatic. After saying thank you, he walked down the Stone Platform according to the Rules and returned to his Position. Meanwhile, Stella spoke again to host.
"Next, we solemnly invite the ninth place contestant of this year's 'Myriad Worlds Combat Power Tournament'!"
"From the 'Titan World', former 'Survey Corps' Strongest Captain of Paradis Island, contestant Levi Ackerman!"
However, Levi walked onto the stage with a cold face. Even when receiving the award on stage, he remained indifferent throughout, because ninth place was not a number worth being happy about for him.
When Stella asked him what High-Grade Resource he wanted, Levi considered for a moment, then said softly, "Just give me a Paramecia System Bubble-Bubble Fruit..."
Actually, he could have completely gone to Empress Historia and asked her to use her Authority to get it from the Holy Land Treasury. But besides that, there was really nothing else he could say.
Because whether it was various Martial Arts or the Technique of Two Colors of Haki, Empress Historia could get them for him.
As for why he chose the Bubble-Bubble Fruit, those who understand naturally understand. Those who don't understand would understand if told, but he didn't want to say; it was hard to say...
Next.
Eighth place was Tokito Muichiro. Relying on his Demon Slayer Mark and Transparent World, he defeated multiple Opponents, including Levi Ackerman.
The Reward he chose was a Cultivation Manual annotated with the path from Sword Master to Great Swordsman.
Seventh place was Morgan William. It must be said that Logia Users indeed possess a powerful Advantage that cannot be ignored in one-on-one Combat. The Reward he chose was the cultivation methods for Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
Sixth place was Mima Amatori. He powerfully defeated Morgan William in the Ranking Match!
Stella looked at Mima Amatori with an appreciative Gaze. Although she loved Tesoro very much, she also felt that the former was much better looking than the latter in terms of appearance.
"Contestant Mima Amatori, please state the High-Grade Resource you want!"
"I want a Logia System Devil Fruit!"
Mima Amatori's voice was resounding, giving a Feeling of extreme determination. However, his request caused Chairman Fernandez to slightly furrow his brow.
But thinking that the higher-ups had not placed restrictions in this regard, he still asked the Official from the Holy Land Treasury again: "Is there one?"
The Official hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded: "There is one, the Gas-Gas Fruit."
His words were naturally heard by Mima Amatori in front of him. Immediately, the corners of his mouth clearly turned up, appearing very Delight, and the fire of Excitement in his Gaze burned fiercely.
Considering Mima Amatori's hidden Identity, Chairman Fernandez finally nodded in agreement.
"Okay!"
Thank you very much to the Reader 20221015203257055 for the 100 Qidian Coin Tip! Bow! Thank you for your Support and Encouragement!
