Hidden Achievement: Flame Emblem (3rd Update)
On the awards stage, Loki the Evil God, and God of War Thor, sat facing each other.
Even Gecko Moria, the former ruler of Thriller Bark and Shichibukai, participated in the award ceremony.
"Ugh, this is such a hassle."
Zoro raised an eyebrow impatiently, a fierce look appearing on his face.
In his opinion, the organizers should just give them the benefits directly; making such a big show of it is meaningless.
However, considering that the "God of War Trial" greatly improved his swordsmanship, Zoro tolerated it.
"The Iron Cutting Realm" - Voice of All Things, and use it as a medium to draw your sword and cut through steel!
What was once a skill that Zoro was not very proficient in, he now uses as naturally and skillfully as breathing.
He even gradually reached the level of "Leaf Cutting Unbroken" that his master had once performed.
"Keep a calm mind."
Hawkeye Barton patted Zoro on the shoulder. "When my archery skills reached a bottleneck, I was just like you."
"Haste makes waste. As long as you keep practicing and stay grounded, you will eventually reach the level you want."
"Improving one's strength is never something that can be done overnight."
Seeing a goal right in front of you, yet being unable to make any progress as if looking at flowers through fog, can indeed easily lead to feelings of frustration.
"Okay... I understand..."
Zoro nodded slightly, about to say something, but Luffy dragged him up to the awards stage with a grin.
Luffy stood on the podium, his jet-black hair swaying in the wind, a natural and innocent yet incredibly infectious smile on his face.
His sister and aunt's fan club erupted in enthusiastic cheers, as if welcoming an emperor.
"Luffy! It's real Luffy!"
"Oh my god... my face is so hot, I'm about to faint..."
"Little monkey (the fan club's nickname for Luffy), look over here!"
"Wow, Luffy is super cute even before he shrunk..."
"Who's that weirdo in the green bib next to Luffy?"
"I don't know, it's probably a bodyguard or something like that."
Zoro, who is constantly training his ability to "Voice of All Things," has an explosive hearing ability.
Upon hearing this, veins bulged on his forehead, his face contorted with rage, and he asked menacingly, "Luffy, may I kill them?"
Luffy just chuckled.
Zoro isn't the type to harm innocent people; at most, he'll just make a few sarcastic remarks.
Otherwise, back in the East Blue, he wouldn't have dared to offend Bellumel just to save a little girl, and almost got himself killed in a scheme.
The Champion of the first "God of War Trial" e-sports tournament will receive a bounty of 300 million Beli, as well as a skill transfer from the God of War Thor.
The entire teaching process will last for a full week.
"I hope this so-called God of War Thor won't disappoint me."
Zoro kept a straight face, appearing aloof and unapproachable, but his mind was racing with a thousand thoughts.
The seas have been in turmoil lately, and many accomplished and powerful figures have become stepping stones for newcomers.
This Thor, like the legendary Spider Demon, a powerful being from the New World, is an exceptional individual.
It is said that this person forcibly seized Gecko Moria's ship and was also involved in the disappearance of Beast Kaido, one of the Four Emperors.
We'll soon find out how much of the rumor is true or false.
Hawkeye, who knew more of the truth, was even more excited.
Although he Reincarnator around the same time as Loki and Thor, they were second-generation Asgard gods, and the difference in their innate strength was too great, making them incomparable.
If he could establish a relationship with both Tor and Loki, it would be of great help to him when he goes on missions to other planes in the future.
Luffy performed the best among the trio.
With a big heart, he showed no signs of nervousness. Instead, he smiled and shook hands with the older female fans in the audience, eliciting gasps and screams from them.
"Please wait a moment!"
The host looked around, seemingly preparing for a certain emotion.
A moment later, he announced loudly, "The Crazy Trio has received a special reward for completing the hidden achievement of this competition, 'Die a Thousand Times'."
"An award from the Dean of [Protagonist Academy], a strategic partner of Thriller Park."
As soon as the words were spoken, a storm arose, and particles converged.
A figure rapidly materialized and materialized under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
With black hair and black eyes, wearing a spotless white trench coat, he was handsome, yet his appearance was impossible to truly remember.
Zoro instinctively gripped Sandai Kitetsu and Yubashiri tightly.
Realizing he had lost his composure, he slowly released his hands.
By this time, Zoro's palms were covered in sweat.
"What level is this guy at?"
In his state of Voice of All Things, Zoro is several times stronger than before, and can kill his previous tenth-ranked self without taking any damage.
Only now could he vaguely sense that he "forgot Wang Yan's appearance the moment he saw it, but immediately remembered it upon meeting him again"...
It's actually a form of protection for "ordinary people" like myself.
Wang Yan's Life level has surpassed the limits that ordinary people can understand.
Even if you can barely remember the other person's face, you will unconsciously think about it day and night.
This ultimately led to a mental breakdown, confusion, and personality split, turning him into a complete madman!
Wang Yan was fully aware of Zoro's little scheme.
He gave the other person an approving look as encouragement.
"Adversity makes you stronger."
"All those who strive with pain as their nourishment should be rewarded."
Wang Yan's voice resonated in everyone's hearts.
He rode the Yu Feng and stood high in the sky.
With a wave of his hand, the world changed color.
The sky, which was originally covered with dark clouds, instantly became clear and sunny.
A gentle breeze caressed everyone's faces.
Luffy, Zoro, and Hawkeye Barton each had a sky-blue seal in their hands.
These three seals are ablaze with tangible yet intangible flames, seemingly possessing the power to purify the mind and cleanse the body of impurities.
"The Flame Crest, produced by the Protagonist Academy, is specially gifted to a destined person."
Wang Yan's voice resounded throughout the Thriller Park, yet it wasn't harsh; instead, it was like a gentle stream, soothing the soul.
"You can think of them as [job change certificates], as for their effects..."
"The Flame Emblem can help its holder, who has honed their skills to the limit, Awakening LV6 Armament Haki and LV6 Observation Haki, expanding the attribute ceiling, while slightly improving several basic attributes such as strength, defense, speed, resilience, intelligence, and perception."
"It works quickly, has no side effects, and will not have any negative impact on subsequent cultivation."
Holding the Flame Emblem, Luffy and his two companions Luffy uncontrollably into the sky.
A dazzling golden light enveloped the three of them.
This change did not take too long.
As the light faded, the three, almost completely transformed, reappeared before everyone's eyes.
