Star Gate Pass and the Summit Battle?

The World Government Myriad Worlds Top 100 Power Tournament.

This is the name Imu decided on for the competition; it sounds a bit childish, but he feels it's very true to the facts.

Certainly.

The previous editions were somewhat disappointing, since only two Star Gate have been opened so far, and there aren't many powerful figures in the Kabane World and Demon Slayer World, so it's likely still a contest between powerful Sea Star.

But everything has to start. Since it's held every four years, that means there will be three more alternate worlds during that time, so the Seiken get more and more exciting as it goes on.

Yes, he has decided on a four-year cycle, feeling that a five-year cycle is a bit too long.

"Then there's the matter of rewards."

Imu chuckled softly, "The rewards will definitely get better as they go on, but we still need to maintain a basic standard; they can't be too meager."

After thinking about it, first of all, there definitely needs to be a bonus, and it must be a very large amount.

"Okay, first place is 10 billion Beli, second place is 5 billion Beli, third place is 1 billion Beli, and so on. Just leave the planning to the people below."

"Anyway, the top ten must have a bounty of at least 100 million Beli, and the contestants who make it into the top 100 must have a bounty of at least 50 million Berries."

Don't be fooled by the millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars in those bounty posters.

However, for most ordinary people, the average monthly income is only three to four hundred thousand Beli, which is enough to ensure a normal life.

Therefore, the 50 million Beli bounty for the 100th place is definitely a large sum of money for an average family.

"Besides the bounty, we also need to give honor; that's the key."

Imu knew that for these experts, honor was often more important than money, so he had to be thorough in this regard.

While organizing my thoughts, I moved the pen tip to write on the paper.

"The top 100 contestants will be given a nameplate with the year of the competition, their ranking, their name and nickname, and a serial number that can be verified by official equipment."

"And another invulnerable coat, with the Chinese characters 'Top 100' printed on the back."

Imu's train of thought stalled at this point, but he resumed writing a few minutes later.

"The top 100 contestants can use this badge to enjoy free services in any industry under the World Government, even in other worlds, such as clothing, food, housing, transportation, and medical care."

"But there needs to be a limit, otherwise we'll run into trouble if we encounter shameless individuals."

"By the way, this privilege is only valid until the start of the next tournament. If you want to continue enjoying it, you must achieve a top 100 ranking again and not have a bounty placed on your head by the World Government for any crimes before then!"

After writing these two paragraphs, Imu nodded in satisfaction. To participate in the competition, one must abide by the law.

"The remaining Top 10 contestants can choose one of the advanced resources, such as Devil Fruit, Famous Sword, armor, Physical Arts, gene enhancement, etc."

"That's right!"

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he quickly continued writing, muttering to himself with a hint of excitement.

"The top 100 contestants will receive a 'Star Gate Pass,' which allows them to freely travel to any Star Gate during their privilege period, but only for themselves; they are not allowed to bring anyone with them!"

Imu felt this was the most tempting prize; the mystery of the Otherworld would definitely drive the strong to fight to the death.

"That's a brilliant idea!"

Just as he was putting down his pen with satisfaction, he noticed another problem. "Can people from the military participate in this competition?"

If the Admiral of the Three Armies participate, then these people will occupy most of the top ten spots. At first, this may arouse great interest, but in the long run, it will lead to a monopoly.

Since the contestants see no hope of making it into the top ten, they will only strive for a spot in the top 100.

"Alright, Admiral below the rank of lieutenant general are prohibited from participating. Only Vice Admiral and second lieutenants can request leave to participate, and they must not be currently on any important missions."

"Also, civilian strongmen who have been recognized by the World Government as having reached the level of Admiral are not allowed to participate. However, those who have not yet been recognized or who break through during the competition are not included and can continue the competition as normal. Otherwise, if someone exceeds their limit during the competition, we can't ask them to withdraw, can we?"

As he wrote this, Im thought for an Imu and felt that these top experts should be given a stage.

"Then after the tournament ends, we'll hold another 'Strongest Summit Battle,' open only to military Admiral and civilians recognized by the government as having reached the level of Admiral, to determine the true 'strongest of our time'!"

As for why it's in quotation marks, well...

"By the way, the winner of the Top Hundred Combat Power Tournament has the option to choose whether or not to participate in the 'Strongest Summit Battle,' which is also a major highlight."

[Boom----]

At that moment, Elder Utgard from Elbaf's side, perhaps feeling that Imu was underestimating his battle, actually unleashed 'Hakai' directly.

This surprised everyone; they had thought the 'Hakai' would be used later.

The vast, surging blue light and the earth-shattering sound successfully made Imu raise his indifferent gaze.

In the virtual screen.

When all the light and noise subsided, only the thick smoke of the conflict shrouded the entire scene.

Pity.

Den Den Mushi cannot transmit the scent of living beings, so those watching the live stream couldn't use Observation Haki to sense Saul's situation.

If he really was hit head-on by the 'Hakai', what's the situation now?

Imu is also quite concerned about this.

Saul is his captain of the Giant God Soldier, and this is his first appearance before the world. If he really loses, he will definitely be unhappy.

If he's unhappy, the consequences will be severe; at the very least, Saul will lose his captaincy.

[Call----]

On the island, as a strong sea breeze blew and the thick smoke was quickly dispersed, Saul reappeared before everyone's eyes.

At this moment, his upper body's Golden Armor and cloak were gone, and his lower body's Golden Armor was also covered with cracks.

His bare chest was pitch black, and his two equally dark arms were crossed to protect his face. His whole body radiated a scorching red light and wisps of white smoke.

Behind Saul, the sea parted again, with waves on both sides rising like high walls, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Good heavens, another huge gap has appeared on this island, and its depth is now almost to the center.

From the perspective of Flying Warship high in the sky, the snow island, which was originally somewhat oval, has now completely transformed into a crescent shape.

[Bang!]

Saul seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, panting heavily as he knelt on one knee on the ground that had turned into lava, the Armament Haki on his skin gradually fading.

"Looks like I've won, brat!"

Elder Utgard took a deep breath, and then a smug smile appeared on his somewhat tired face, completely unconcerned about the giant axe in his hand that was beginning to crumble.

While this 'Hakai' is incredibly powerful, it also consumes a lot of weapons; basically, every time it's used, one of them will break.

As for why not use Famous Sword?

Because there is only one Famous Sword in the entire world large enough to be used by Titans, namely King Harald's 'Elbaf Spear'!

"You lost?"

"You're wrong, this battle has only just begun."

At this moment, Saul slowly raised his head. Although his face was pale, his forehead was sweating, and blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth, his firm gaze made Elder Utgard's heart tighten.

Immediately afterwards, a yellowish-brown halo began to emanate from the former's body, and its figure continued to grow larger and taller.

When he stood up completely, he was not only two heads taller than himself, but his skin also looked like brass with a metallic sheen.

The Zoan Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Antaeus Form!

"So, without your weapons, what do you plan to do next, Elder of Elbaf?"

That was an anti-theft measure, please don't panic, stay calm.
