When Yuichi's voice rang out over Marineford, the Marine soldiers paralyzed by fear seemed to wake up suddenly. They were surprised. At a time like this, someone could still ask questions? He wasn't shocked into silence by the battle just now? He was still able to keep calm?
Even Fleet Admiral Sengoku hadn't reacted in time. Someone in the Marines had beaten him to it.
Everyone looked toward the top of the Naval Headquarters building, staring at Yuichi, who had raised his head to face the light curtain.
The Marine soldiers suddenly felt that Yuichi was incredibly reliable. To remain calm at such a time... this was a true Marine Admiral Candidate. Yuichi's prestige in the hearts of the Marines was already high, but now, admiration swelled.
Even Sengoku was surprised.
After seeing such a scene, he can still think calmly! Even this old man didn't have time to think about the last question. Hahaha! It seems that I am indeed getting old.
In this situation, feeling old brought no regrets to Sengoku. The Marines had someone to succeed him. He was very pleased.
[Question: What are the rewards for winning the World War and the penalties for losing?]
The last question was displayed on the light curtain.
[Answer: The party that loses in the first world war will not be punished. The winning party will receive a 3% increase in the overall power of the world.]
[Hint: The 3% increase in the overall power of the world does not refer to the enhancement of individual abilities.]
[In the world of the winner, all creatures will become stronger.]
[Not just creatures; everything in this world will change to varying degrees, including power systems.]
[This is the evolution of the world.]
The answer given by the light curtain left the people of the Pirate World confused. Even Kizaru, Sengoku, and the others felt baffled.
What exactly did "the evolution of the world" mean? How does a world evolve? What will it evolve into? They couldn't imagine it at all.
Yet, Yuichi understood.
Winning would allow the world to evolve, and the rate of evolution was 3%. Not just the individual, but the whole world. In other words, all creatures in the Pirate World would become stronger.
It wasn't just strength that increased. Attributes like physical stamina, speed, and even the power of Haki would grow. Haki enhancement didn't mean someone's Haki level increased, but that the power of Haki itself became stronger.
Specifically, if 1 point of Haki power originally caused 10 damage, then after the enhancement, that same point might cause 11 or 12 damage. This was the evolution of the world, not merely the strengthening of individual power.
After understanding this, Yuichi realized why his Reiatsu had broken through to the Captain level.
The original Pirate World had power systems like Devil Fruits and Haki. But now, Yuichi was a person of this world, a part of it. Yet, he also possessed the Character Template System. He held magical powers like Reiatsu in his hands.
So, when the light curtain strengthened the net power of the Pirate World, his unique Shinigami power system—Reiatsu—was also regarded as a power system by the light curtain. Thus, it strengthened his Reiatsu by about one percent.
But this one percent was just enough to push Yuichi to the sixty percent threshold. Reiatsu, successfully reaching the Captain rank, unlocked Senbonzakura's Bankai.
If they won the World War, the overall power of the Pirate World would increase by 3%. As a part of this world, his strength would increase like everyone else's. But his unique Shinigami power system would also be enhanced. The ability awakening of the character template could reach 63%.
Just by winning the World War, the awakening progress of his character template could be increased by 3%! This was simply fantastic. If Yuichi were to develop the power of the awakened character template by himself, getting to 63% would take at least a year at his previous rate. Right now, all he needed was to win a world war.
[Answer: There is no penalty for failure in the first world war. However, if you fail in subsequent world wars...]
[Then the world of the loser will be weakened to varying degrees.]
[Collective Weakness of the Whole World.]
[Natural disasters will occur more frequently.]
[The power system of the whole world will also be weakened.]
[The strength and lifespan of creatures will decay.]
People who were still wondering what the so-called world evolution meant suddenly saw the punishment for the loser. They didn't quite understand the reward, but the punishment for failure was terrifyingly clear.
After failure, there would be natural disasters, and power would be weakened. But most importantly: the lifespan of living things would decay.
For many people, this was the most intuitive threat. This light curtain in the sky would deprive them of their lifespan.
Ordinary people cared, but the highest authority in the world, the Five Elders, cared about this most of all. Seeing this last entry, their gazes became firm simultaneously.
"We cannot fail!"
"No matter the cost, we must defeat the people of the Ninja World!"
Among them, the eldest of the Five Elders was the most agitated. If their lifespan was cut, several of them might be sent to their graves on the spot!
[End of questions.]
[Next, the first World War begins.]
[Invasion Party: Ninja World (Ready)]
[Defender: Pirate World - Naval Headquarters Marineford (Closed)]
Suddenly, a blue-white light curtain appeared, directly enveloping the entirety of Marineford. All the Marines looked up at the semi-circular light shield sealing the island. Many were frightened by what had appeared out of thin air.
[The Ninja World personnel are being released, arriving at the invasion site.]
[Countdown: Three seconds]
[3]
[2]
Is it coming? Where will the people from another world appear?
[1]
[Successful delivery.]
[Beginning of the First World War.]
[Please go all out on both sides. You are fighting for your own world.]
