Sengoku: "A quiz with prizes... Could it really be possible to win those rewards mentioned earlier?"

Rocks D. Xebec: "Who cares about all that? Just pick one already! I choose C! I think this kid is someone who doesn’t know how to back down!"

Gol D. Roger: "That option D is ridiculous! A seven-year-old with Armament Haki? Absurd... I’m choosing A!"

Edward Newgate: "Gurararara! I’ll just pick something randomly. I choose E."

Monkey D. Garp: "Whitebeard, you’re dreaming! This red-framed Luffy clearly isn’t the type to back down! I choose D!"

Edward Newgate: "Eighteen-pack abs? Armament Haki? Garp, aren’t you the one dreaming here?"

Monkey D. Luffy: "I’ll follow my grandpa’s choice! I choose D too!"

Kureha: "I choose B."

Gion: "I’ll go with B as well. That Luffy seems calm and would likely take the simplest and most effective approach. B seems like the most probable answer."

Charlotte Linlin: "B. If I’m not mistaken, the first three people to answer correctly get rewards. Vice Admiral Kureha, Vice Admiral Momousagi, and me—we’ve got three Bs right here."

Kaido: "Pfft!"

Shiki: "Jahahaha!!!"

Oden: "Indeed, three Bs—no problem, no problem at all..."

Kureha: "Big Mom, you idiot!!"

Sengoku: "I’ll choose C."

Eustass Kid: "I’m going with A, haha!"

Trafalgar Law: "I’ll choose D! Who knows, maybe that Straw Hat over there really does pull out eighteen-pack abs!"

Capone Bege: "Eighteen-pack abs... Why don’t you say eighteen-pack pecs instead?"

*[In front of a traditional Japanese-style wooden house]*

As the two burly bandits approached, Luffy casually rested his hands on his hips, unintentionally revealing his eighteen-pack abs...

And of course... the pitch-black layer of Armament Haki covering them!!!

???

When this scene appeared, everyone watching suddenly widened their eyes in shock!

Holy sh*t!!

Armament Haki?!?!

In the video, a gust of wind blew, lifting Luffy's red vest higher and fully exposing his eighteen-pack abs coated in Armament Haki.

Yes!!

It was definitely Armament Haki!!!

Everyone confirmed it immediately!!!

Now, mastering Armament Haki wasn’t exactly an earth-shattering feat by itself...

But for a seven-year-old to have mastered it? That was absolutely monstrous!!!

Moreover, from the footage, it only showed Red-Framed Luffy mastering Armament Haki at age seven—but it didn’t reveal when he might have first learned it.

Perhaps he had just learned it at seven, or maybe at six, or even five...

Hiss!! —

No one dared to think further!!!

Monkey D. Luffy: "Huh? Did that version of me really train to awaken Armament Haki at seven years old?"

By now, Luffy had already seen enough during his time on Amazon Lily to understand what Armament Haki was.

However... he hadn’t mastered it yet.

Kuzan: "Wait, wait, wait, are you kidding me? Even Grandpa Garp didn’t master Armament Haki at seven!"

Monkey D. Garp: "That’s right. I didn’t master it until I was ten."

Gol D. Roger: "You bastard, are you trying to show off?!"

Shiki: "Mastering Armament Haki at ten...Others... Truly a monster, huh?!"

Kureha: "Looking at it this way, if Luffy had matured early, mastering Armament Haki at seven doesn’t seem impossible."

Zephyr: "Exactly. After all, with Garp’s genes in the mix, there’s no way this kid’s talent could be anything less than extraordinary!"

Rocks D. Xebec: "Damn, is Garp’s lineage really that strong?"

*[In front of the wooden house...]*

As the two bandits approached Luffy, their faces twitched violently when they saw his Armament Haki-covered abs.

"What do you say?"

Luffy calmly looked at the two men.

"Heya! Little Luffy, you’re about to start training—it’s gonna be tough. Let me give you a massage first!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! A massage, a massage! It’ll feel great!"

Under the intimidation of Luffy’s eighteen-pack abs covered in Armament Haki, the two burly bandits instantly transformed into professional masseurs!

Clearly, the correct answer was *D*!

Kureha: "Didn’t Garp choose D earlier? If there’s a reward, Garp should get it."

Monkey D. Luffy: "And me! I followed my grandpa’s choice. We both get rewards!"

Kaido: "Hahaha! Are you guys from the Monkey family really this gullible? You actually believe there are prizes?"

Shiki: "What are you laughing at, you dumbass? This viewing system brought us back to life after we were dead. Is it really so strange for it to hand out some miraculous prizes?"

Kaido: "You old fart, always running your mouth!"

Just then, the voice of the viewing system rang out!

[Ding! The top three winners of this quiz with the correct answers are Monkey D. Garp, Monkey D. Luffy, and Trafalgar Law.]
