Chapter 171 The key to becoming The King of Pirate

The Four Emperors of the New World, who previously didn't take Law seriously, now had serious expressions on their faces. These newbie pirates would come to challenge them once they entered the New World, but in reality, it was more like sending warmth, as these rookies were no match for the seasoned veterans.

The main reason for this was their lack of strength. Law was initially within this category too; he needed more time to grow and develop his abilities. During this time, they had the opportunity to subdue Law.

However, if Law were to gain enough strength in advance, enough to challenge them, the situation would be different. He might even have a chance to snatch the Four Emperors' position from their hands.

They could doubt Law's strength, but they couldn't deny the insane power of the Ope Ope no Mi. After all, it was worth five billion berries, and even in its un awakened state, it was already so powerful. No one knew how much stronger it would become after awakening. Even the defense-focused Big Mom started to doubt if she could withstand Law's blade.

And this was just his basic attack; after awakening, the Ope Ope no Mi would have even more skills, and the cutting, transplanting, and scanning shown in the video were already horrifying.

People remembered Law's target for revenge, Doflamingo. If Law gained power beyond their imagination through this reward, then it wouldn't be long before they had to mourn for Doflamingo.

Mourn, mourn, and mourn in advance...

Doflamingo's face turned extremely grim. This was troublesome. It was difficult enough to awaken a Devil Fruit's ability, and he, who had already awakened his ability, knew the qualitative change in power after awakening. If Law obtained this potion, it wouldn't be as simple as whether or not he could cut down Vergo. Perhaps he would end up being sliced by Law without even realizing it.

Luke had actually brought out such a thing. Doflamingo had spent so much effort to awaken his fruit, but now Law could awaken it just by drinking a potion. Who was Luke exactly? Doflamingo stared at Luke with anger, scrutiny, curiosity, and evaluation in his eyes.

Not only was Doflamingo displeased with the Devil Fruit Awakening Potion, but also the Five Elders of Mariejois. This was not good news for them either.

They knew better than anyone what the Ope Ope no Mi could do—granting eternal life. Imu-sama was proof of that.

If Law's Ope Ope no Mi awakened and he could continuously create immortal beings, these people would become enemies of the World Government. They couldn't allow any immortals besides Imu-sama to exist, as it would shake the World Government's rule.

What was even more terrifying was that if these immortals turned against them, they would never stop trying to find ways to defeat them, probing for weaknesses, and eventually killing them. They would either die or their enemies would.

The World Government had been able to implement an eight-hundred-year plan because Imu-sama couldn't die, allowing them to act this way. But if the enemies were hiding in the shadows, they might never know when they were targeted.

In a more direct sense, if Law performed the Eternal Life Operation on Dragon or Zephyr, the World Government would be done for.

At this moment, the Five Elders reached a consensus.

Law is someone who must be eliminated. The revival of the Eternal Life Operation must not happen again.

The world didn't need a second immortal, and a second immortal couldn't be allowed to exist!

However, the first priority was to deal with the Neo Marine before taking care of Law.

...

When Law heard about the Devil Fruit Awakening Potion and Doflamingo's awakened ability, his pupils contracted involuntarily.

Law considered this second option as well.

Then, Luke moved on to the third option. "Reward three, Voice of All Thing Ability."

Upon hearing this reward, the crowd was slightly stunned. What was that?

Most of them had never heard of this ability before and had no idea what it meant. However, since Luke was offering it as a reward, it must be something remarkable.

Only a few people, however, had their pupils suddenly contract upon hearing this. At the same time, on the Sabaody Archipelago, a gray-haired man froze. Wasn't this Roger's ability?

And Luke could offer this as a reward?

Who on earth is this Luke?

As many people looked at Law with puzzled expressions, Luke clarified, "Voice of all things is the innate ability of the Pirate King, Roger. He could hear sounds that ordinary people couldn't, from animals, plants, living beings, non-living things, even clouds, islands, and Sea Kings. The world seen through your eyes will be completely different from what others perceive. The most significant function of this ability is being able to hear the voice of the Rio Poneglyph. It was precisely with this ability that Roger found all the Rio Poneglyph and obtained the coordinates to Raftel, eventually becoming the Pirate King. In other words, obtaining this ability allows you to understand the world better and even have the chance to become the next Pirate King."

As Luke's words were spoken, the entire world was in an uproar.

This was actually the ability of the Pirate King, Roger!

the voice of all things!

Roger found the Rio Poneglyph and became the Pirate King through this ability!

People suddenly realized that Roger becoming the Pirate King wasn't just a coincidence; he possessed the potential of the Pirate King from the beginning.

No wonder he was the first man in history to find all Poneglyph.

No wonder he could become the Pirate King. The secret was this ability.

Those who now knew the truth couldn't help but feel discouraged.

Who on earth is naturally gifted with the ability to hear the voice of the Rio Poneglyph? This was just too unfair. Was Roger destined to be the Pirate King from birth?

Why did he get to have the ability to listen to the voice of all things, the Rio Poneglyph, and the path to becoming the Pirate King as if it were a custom-made treasure hunt for him?

They felt that this was just a complete conspiracy, an obvious conspiracy.

What made them even angrier was that if they didn't have this ability, how were they supposed to find the Rio Poneglyph? Understanding the Rio Poneglyph was already a challenge in itself.

Now finding them would be even more troublesome. Roger, with the ability to listen to the voice of all things, had searched for so long. Where would they even start?

And now, their only hope lay in the young man on the screen.

Trafalgar D. Water Law.

The ability of the Pirate King was right in front of him. As long as he chose this reward, the talent of the Pirate King would be his.

...

He would possess the key to becoming the Pirate King.

All over the world, Kid, Luffy, Apoo, Hawkins, Blackbeard Teach, and many others who aspired to become the Pirate King turned their eyes to Luke.

Especially Teach, whose eyes were filled with unbridled greed.

He hadn't expected such an ability to exist in the world. Life was truly unfair!

Law was so lucky to have the ability to become the Pirate King right in front of him. If he obtained this ability, he would almost be destined to become the Pirate King.

Teach's envy made his eyes turn red.

Compared to Law, he felt extremely unlucky. His desired Dark Dark Fruit was snatched away right under his nose during the QnA live broadcast. His ambitions were exposed by Whitebeard, and after barely surviving, he became targeted by Marine. Now, he was hiding from the Marine's pursuit all over the world.

Meanwhile, Law was just effortlessly picking up the ability to become the Pirate King during the QnA live broadcast. It was simply infuriating!

Upon reaching this point, even many powerful figures began to have such thoughts. If Law obtained this ability, they must find a way to bring him to their side. After all, this was the only key to Raftel left.

Roger gone, and this ability had disappeared with him. If Law could obtain it, he would be the next and most likely person to reach Raftel.

All eyes were on Law, wondering what choice he would make.

Law was also startled by this ability; he hadn't expected it to be the power of the Pirate King, Roger.

However, he wasn't interested in this ability at the moment. His sole focus was on revenge. What happened after revenge was still too distant for him to consider. Doflamingo was like a huge mountain blocking his path, and he had no mental capacity to think about anything else.

In the eyes of others who yearned for the ability to listen to the voice of all things, Luke discarded it as an option for rewards.

Three rewards had already been revealed, leaving only two options remaining.

Law felt nervous; there were only two reward options left. Could there be resurrection among them?

This might be his only chance to revive Rosinante in his lifetime. His heart was pounding, and with each reward revealed, the possibility of resurrection not appearing made him more and more anxious. He was almost breathless with tension.
