The format of this third Top 100 Tournament was similar to the previous one.
Flag-raising, singing, and the contestants' entrance.
After that came speeches from the lord of Duel City and the president of the Adventurers Guild.
The former was naturally still Vergo.
But the latter had changed from Doflamingo to Shanks and Buggy.
Yes, Buggy was also serving as an honorary president, happily basking in the spotlight.

Maria Napoleon, Queen, Tesoro, Brook, Uta, Lala, and other top performance artists from different worlds took turns appearing onstage.
They brought wonderful singing and dancing programs to all the viewers on-site and in front of their screens.
Yes, Lala had gone onstage too.
As the two most popular idol stars in the galaxy, Dassel and Talha, she sang a song.
Her image as a nearly perfect girl and her cosmic-level singing voice.
Before she had even finished singing, she had already amazed the people of many World Government-affiliated worlds.

Historia, dressed in a Heavenly Phoenix Hundred-Bird Dress, looked hesitant as she watched the live scene recreated through a holographic virtual projection.

They were gathered on the lawn of the Flower Chamber, watching the opening ceremony of the Top 100 Tournament.
Everyone present understood what Historia meant.
Lala was destined to become an Empress in the future.
