Luffy Shows His Skills as Powerful Fighters Gather
On the screen, a few confused comments immediately appeared: {Wait, why is Straw Hat Luffy so obsessed with the Flame-Flame Fruit? Is Ace some kind of person to him?}
Since Straw Hat Luffy calls the son of the Pirate King so affectionately, could there really be some kind of relationship between them?
{Knowing it's a conspiracy, why would the Straw Hat Luffy Pirates get involved? Are they stupid? Besides, I don't believe Doflamingo would offer the real Flame-Flame Fruit as a prize, unless he's an idiot too.}
{Huh! Why is Straw Hat Luffy all alone? Where's Iron Man Franky? Where did he go?!}
{...}

In the video footage, seemingly to answer people's questions, the camera immediately focused on Franky.
He was being led by a Toy Soldier towards a certain place in Dressrosa.
Then, the camera switched to Luffy, who was in the contestants' preparation room, surrounded by all sorts of muscular men.
Luffy walked along, he curiously observed them, which immediately drew their displeasure.
At this moment, a gladiator named Spartan, unable to tolerate Luffy. Looking down at him like an eagle scorning a chick, he said, "Hmph! You snot-nosed brat, wearing a fake mustache! This is an arena! Not for weaklings like you. People want to see battles between the strong. What fun is there in watching someone like you, who can be easily crushed like an ant? Get out of here! Get out of here!"
As he spoke, the Spartan threw a punch at Luffy.
Luffy easily dodged the punch with a sidestep, which ignited his anger, and he immediately started Luffy.
But Luffy easily dodged them one after another.
Finally, Luffy dodged his punch by sidestepping, grabbed his arm, lifted him up, spun him around like a windmill, and then slammed him heavily to the ground. The floor immediately cracked, and the man named Spartan passed out on the spot.
This scene stunned everyone present, causing them to abandon their previous underestimation of Luffy. It also attracted the attention of the powerful figures present.
To everyone's surprise, Luffy acted as if nothing had happened, raised his head, grinned, and said, "Nice to meet you."
A few speechless comments immediately floated across the screen: {That Straw Hat Luffy really doesn't know how to be low-key! No wonder he gets into so much trouble.}
{No, this muscle-headed guy really knows what he's doing! He's really unlucky to have messed with the Straw Hat Luffy!}
{ Straw Hat Luffy seems to be much stronger two years later than he is now! What exactly happened to him?!}
{That Straw Hat Luffy is really reckless! He clearly has his name written on his back— Lucy —to avoid revealing himself, and now he's caused such a commotion. He's going to become everyone's target, and might even get thrown out of the dueling arena.}

However, the scenario that viewers feared did not materialize. In the video footage, although the inspectors wanted to expel Luffy for causing a brawl by provoking him before the match, the actual outcome was different.
But no sooner had he finished speaking than an axe flew out from the crowd and landed in front of the inspector, startling him greatly.
The next second, a righteous male voice rang out, "Hey! The one who started this trouble was that big guy over there!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the camera immediately shifted to him, where a black-haired man wearing a green cape with a wavy tie stood not far away, pointing at the inspector and saying, "If anyone should leave, it should be him."
Behind him followed a man with long orange hair and an old man with white hair and beard.
The next second, their character introductions immediately appeared.
"The Flower Country, the Happo Navy — Sai."
"The Flower Country, the Happo Navy — Boo."
"Chinjao, the twelfth leader of the Happo Navy in the Flower Country."
"Although he's already unconscious!" Boo added from the side.
Their appearance stunned everyone present, as well as a segment of the world.
On the screen, a barrage of surprised comments immediately popped up: {Hey! No way! Even the Flower Country's Happo Navy is participating! Are they also so eager to get the Flame-Flame Fruit?}
The Flame-Flame Fruit is incredibly attractive! It even drew the Happo Navy from the Flower Country!
{Green... Chinjao, that legendary pirate is still alive?! That's unbelievable!}
What's wrong with the Chinjao's head? I remember it wasn't like this before!

{...}
In the Flower Country, in a magnificent house.
"Damn you, Sai! Why did you help Garp's grandson out of that mess?" Green Chinjao glared at Sai beside him and said with displeasure.
"Grandpa, that's a video, it's something that happened in the future, I... I can't control it!" Sai explained.
"Shut up! I say what I mean, don't talk back, or I'll pass the leadership of the Happo Navy to you!" Chinjao roared. "Anyway, from now on, whenever you see Garp's family, beat them to a pulp! Don't waste any more words on them, understand?"
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll be more careful in the future." Sai nodded and said.
"Grandpa, don't blame Big Brother! Hey! Look at the video! Big Brother is yelling at that Straw Hat Luffy!" Wu Yi tried to smooth things over.
"What?!"
In the video footage, Luffy successfully remained in the arena thanks to Sai's righteous words and the explanations from the others.
He immediately picked up Sai's axe, walked up to Sai and the other two, and thanked them.
To his surprise, this angered Sai, who demanded that he take back his thanks and even threatened to hit him.
Fortunately, his younger brother, Wu Yi, stopped him, preventing the incident from happening.
Luffy couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, there are all sorts of people here!"
As his words fell, a lewd voice rang out in the rest area. He seemed to be arguing with someone. Then, the names of several prominent figures appeared in everyone's ears, such as "The Decapitator— Suleiman."
"Bounty Hunters - Abdullah and Jeet."
"The Ruler - Orlumbus."
"Hyena Bellamy."
"Young Master Cavendish."
And a year later, he was known as "Bartolomeo the Cannibal."
This immediately shocked the world.
