Sai, Winner in Life
On the screen, a barrage of admiring comments immediately appeared: {What incredible willpower! This giant is truly an amazing warrior!}
{Everyone stand up! Let's Hajrudin, he's amazing!}
{Waaaaah, it looks so painful! This Hajrudin is so handsome! I'm almost falling in love with him!}
{ Hajrudin, a true man, a real tough guy.}

The Grand Line, Little Garden.
"Crap crap crap, Dorry, it seems our juniors have grown quite a bit since we left Elbaf!" Brogy punched Dorry in front of him, laughing loudly.
"Heh heh, who says otherwise!!" Dorry Brogy's outstretched hand and laughed along. "Looks like we need to find some time to go back and take a look!"
As he spoke, he swung his other hand and punched Brogy.
"Then we'll start work tomorrow. Shipbuilding is a huge undertaking!" Brogy took a Dorry punch from Dorry, but instead of getting angry, he retaliated with his other hand, which Dorry hadn't grabbed, and punched Dorry back.
"No worries, we have plenty of time." Dorry had also taken a solid punch from Brogy, said, "It's just that I wonder when I'll be able to see the Straw Hat Luffy again? I really miss them, hehehe."
"Who says otherwise! Crackling sound."
"..."
At this moment, the camera shifts to the battle between the Longleg Tribe and Dellinger, a Donquixote Family executive.
The battle began with Blue Kiley having the upper hand, but he was quickly defeated by Dellinger after he made a mistake due to his carelessness.
Fortunately, someone took his place and fought Dellinger again; it was Ideo of the Longarm Tribe.
However, he was still no match for Dellinger. Under Deringer's speed and offensive, he gradually fell into a disadvantage and was eventually defeated by him as well.
However, this exposed Dellinger's other identity: he was not actually human, but a hybrid of Fighting Fish and a human.
On the screen, a barrage of shocked comments immediately appeared: {Holy crap, a hybrid of Fighting Fish and a human, that kind of terrifying monster, someone actually dared to do that, that's incredible!}
{No... no, it's that warrior is so thirsty! He even dares to go after Fighting Fish!}
{Could the person who targeted Fighting Fish be from Baratie? Otherwise, why would they be so desperate?}
With such a terrifying bloodline, this guy is probably going to wreak havoc everywhere!

However, the next second, a scene appeared on the video screen that shocked the viewers.
After defeating Ideo, Dellinger, at Gladius's request, had just jumped onto the third floor when he was instantly killed by an unknown figure moving at incredible speed.
Immediately afterwards, the camera shifted back to the second floor, showing Sai from the Flower Country versus Baby-5, a member of the Donquixote Family.
However, the scene of the two fighting seemed somewhat ambiguous, because when faced with Sai's offensive, Baby-5 did not choose to fight back, but instead kept blushing and even showed shy movements, as if she was not fighting, but falling in love. She even took Sai's harsh words to her as a marriage proposal.
This immediately drew opposition from Chinjao, who was also fighting Rao G., Donquixote Family executive, because he was engaged to the daughter of the Second Treasure Navy's pillar, and therefore could not marry another woman at will.
Sai understood this perfectly well, and he didn't care who he married.
To everyone's surprise, Baby-5 didn't listen at all. Instead, she started tidying up Sai's clothes like a newlywed wife.
This naturally drew Sai's dissatisfaction. After putting some distance between himself and Baby-5, he questioned her, asking why she would do such a thing, since they were clearly enemies, and why she would bring up marriage.
Baby-5 told him that because he needed her, she would do anything he needed.
This made Sai feel utterly absurd. If she was really willing to do anything, then he should just let her die, so he could repay Luffy for their kindness!
To everyone's surprise, Baby-5 actually pulled out a gun and pointed it at her own head with a blissful expression, because she felt that being needed by others was the happiest thing in the world.
On the screen, envious comments immediately appeared: {Hey! Really? There are actually women like that in this world? That's so awesome! Ah, isn't that a bit silly?!}
{How enviable! Doflamingo, to have such a useful woman by your side.}
{Waaaaah, why can't I meet a woman like that?!}
It's such a pity that such a wonderful woman is about to pass away.

However, the scene that the viewers were worried about did not happen, because Baby-5's actions aroused Sai's sympathy, and he immediately ran towards her.
This naturally drew the ire of Chinjao below. He charged towards Sai, smashing through the stone wall above them. Standing atop the wall, he roared angrily at Sai and Green Pepper, "Sai, you disgrace to the Happo Navy! The Happo Navy doesn't need an idiot like you anymore!"
As he spoke, his head, which had returned to normal, instantly glowed with Armament Haki. He then leaped high into the air and headbutted Sai and Baby-5, shouting, "Watch me stab you both to death with this cone! Hasshoken: Cone Drill Dragon Nail!"
"Call out!"
The Chinjao hurtled towards Sai and Baby-5 below like a falling cannonball.
Feeling the pressure from above, Sai below stomped his foot, imbuing it with Armament Haki, and roared, "Armed Heel!"
As he spoke, he lifted his foot, which collided with the head of the falling green Chinjao, instantly unleashing bursts of Inazuma.
The two were locked in a stalemate, but soon, Sai kicked Chinjao's head again, knocking it to the side and causing him to crash heavily against the stone wall, panting heavily.
Taking this opportunity, Sai slapped Baby-5 to warn her not to do such a foolish thing.
Baby-5 looked at him with a puzzled expression. Before she could say anything, the stone wall they were standing on shattered due to the attack by Chinjao and Sai, and fell below, instantly stirring up thick dust.
Inside a magnificent palace in the Flower Country.
"Grandpa... Grandpa." Sai looked at the expressionless Chinjao in the high seat with a panicked expression and shouted, "Are you... are you alright?!"
Chinjao ignored Sai's words and stood up from her high position, walking towards him.
"Grandpa, you can't blame my eldest brother. That... that eldest brother just made a mistake, and besides, this happened in the future, it has nothing to do with my current eldest brother," Boo explained from the side.
To everyone's surprise, Chinjao ignored his words as well, walked up to Sai, hugged him tightly, and exclaimed excitedly, "That's wonderful! Sai, you've finally Awakening! We can confidently entrust the future of the Happo Navy to you!"
"Huh?" Sai and Boo were startled and exclaimed, "Grandpa, you... you must be joking! That's me from the future. I'm not old enough to inherit your position right now!" Sai explained.
"No, it's all the same, all the same." Chinjao shook his head and said, "Because I'm old, the next era will belong to you sooner or later! Now I'll go arrange your succession ceremony."
"Why!"
On the other side, in the video footage, Sai, who had fallen to the bottom, stood up and slapped Baby-5, angrily scolding her for doing such a stupid thing.
Baby-5 told him that she just wanted to help her become someone who would be useful to him even in death.
Sai immediately understood. It turned out that Baby-5 had always lived in a place where people wouldn't deny her ideas, and today he was going to be the first person to do so. He told Baby-5 to live well.
Then, he went to the Chinjao lying on the ground, looking at its crooked tip with disbelief.
Chinjao sat up without getting angry at all, because he finally saw Sai demonstrate the results of his cultivation.
At the same time, he also told Sai something: when he fought Luffy before, his old problem had already flared up, and he was no longer able to fight properly. Now that he saw that Sai could inherit the secret of the Hasshoken and was powerful enough to shatter the Ice Continent, he was very happy.
Chinjao, in his capacity as the twelfth leader of the Happo Navy, bestowed upon Sai the title of "Drill Dragon Nail" on his foot and handed over the leadership position to him. From now on, he could arrange everything freely, including his marriage.
Unexpectedly, just as Chinjao finished giving these instructions, Rao G, who had been fighting him but had been ignored for a long time, suddenly rushed out from the side and sent him flying with a punch.
However, Rao G was very different from when he fought Chinjao. He was now covered in muscles and his physique had increased several times over.
This is all thanks to his unique skill – Combat Preservation Fist, a qigong technique that he accumulated and preserved in his body during his youth.
On the other side, Green Chinjao, who had been knocked away, finally lost all fighting ability and fainted after being injured twice in succession.
This immediately enraged Sai, who glared at Rao G.
Rao G. naturally noticed him too, and said unhappily, "What do you want from me, you monkey from the Flower Country?"
"You actually dared to defeat this old man, it's unforgivable!" Sai said through gritted teeth.
"Hahaha, what idiotic nonsense are you spouting! This is a battlefield, anything can happen. You don't actually think someone like you can challenge me, do you? You're a hundred years too early!" Rao G scoffed.
"Hmph! Just you wait and see!" Sai gripped his knife tightly, his face full of confidence. "I will avenge the old man's death and repay the kindness shown to Straw Hat Luffy and the others."
The next second, the screen paused, and the system text appeared. "Multiple choice question: In the battle between Sai, the 13th leader of the Happo Navy in the Flower Country, and Rao G, Donquixote Family executive, who will emerge victorious?"
"One, the Flower Country, the thirteenth leader of the Happo Navy — Sai."
"Second, Rao G., a member of the Donquixote Family."
"Please choose one of the two options above as your answer to this question. I will randomly select one person from among those who choose correctly and give them the happiest gift of their life."
"This multiple-choice question has a time limit of one minute."
"Next, I will be opening a free comment period for one minute. You can send your options to the screen."
"Now, select 'Begin'."
The screen was immediately filled with a massive number of numbers [one] and [two], and for a moment, they were evenly matched.
A minute passed quickly, and the video feed was restored.
Sai and Rao G immediately started fighting.
Rao G launched the first attack on Sai, throwing a punch at him, but Lao Cai nimbly dodged it.
Sai swung his sword at him with a backhand strike, but he easily caught it with his fingers, saying, "Listen up! Monkey, this country belongs to the young master, and you are all his slaves. No one can change that."
As he spoke, he grabbed the hilt of the knife in Sai's hand, swung it forcefully, and sent him flying.
Immediately afterwards, the two resumed close combat. During the fight, Rao G also mentioned Baby-5, stating that he would absolutely not hand Baby-5 over to Sai.
This made Baby-5 blush with embarrassment, because it was the first time that two people had fought over her.
But Rao G's words quickly shattered her illusion.
"Hahaha, Baby-5 is ours." After punching Sai flying again, Rao G put his hands on his hips and said smugly, "After all, it's not easy to find a woman like this who'd risk her life just to be needed!"
"It's... convenient." Upon hearing this, Baby-5 froze on the spot, tears streaming down her face. For the first time, she felt a pang of heartache.
On the other side, Sai used the hilt of his knife to support himself on the ground, stood up, stared angrily at Rao G, and silently assumed a fighting stance without saying a word.
"Let me use this ultimate technique to send you on your way, you stinky monkey!" Lao G said, his hands forming the letter G, "Combat Preservation Fist - Full Demon Unleashing!"
As Rao G finished speaking, the ground around him began to collapse. The next second, he charged towards Sai like a wild dog, shouting, "That's enough! You damn monkey, this is your last G!"
"It's not certain who will win this time!" Sai twirled his weapon, raised his foot, and imbued it with Armament Haki, saying, "If I win, I'll marry that woman."
Upon hearing this, Baby-5's eyes welled up with tears again, but this time they were tears of happiness.
"Bang!"
Lao G's hand collided with Sai's foot, but was quickly kicked away by Sai's foot. Then, he turned around and kicked Lao G hard in the head, shouting, "Drill Dragon Nail!"
"Boom!"
Rao G's skull sank in instantly, and then the ground he was standing on began to crack, eventually spreading to most of the second floor, creating a deep fissure.
Rao G, along with several Donquixote Family lackeys who had been following him, all fell into the crevice.
During this time, he didn't forget to curse at Sai, "You damned little monkey, you stupid monkey, G."
"Please call me Chief." Sai stood at the edge, watching him fall steadily downwards, and said with a dashing air.
Unfortunately, his handsomeness didn't last long. Baby-5 came up to him, shyly pressing against him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
The next second, the system's text appeared. "Flower Country, the 13th generation leader of the Happo Navy — Sai VS Donquixote Family Executive—Rao G."
"The victor is Sai, the thirteenth leader of the Happo Navy of the Flower Country."
"Therefore, the correct answer is -- one. Congratulations to those who chose correctly! Now, I will randomly select one lucky person from among those who chose correctly and give them the happiest gift of their life."
The next second, the void hand and the box full of small balls appeared on the screen once again.
Before long, a small ball was retrieved, and a name immediately appeared on the screen.
