He earned some experience for the victory and one point of progress toward the Sword Saint quest.
No one had expected the Zone C final to end so quickly.
It was not until over half a day later that the finals in the other zones concluded one after another.
Adrian also learned the names of the other zones' winners from the referee.
Mihawk and Shanks had won Zones A and B, just as he had expected.
But the winner of Zone D was not anyone from the Whitebeard Pirates. It was the unfamiliar Great Swordmaster in the bamboo hat.
