Beside the list appeared a vague figure whose face remained invisible, with a giant blue pagoda standing tall in the background (Sacred Ruins Tower).
With this, the entire Hidden Expert List had been announced, and rewards fell into each owner's hands.
The golden eye in the sky slowly closed, and the golden light filling the three realms began to fade.
On the Straw Hat Pirates' Ship. The group shouted surrounding Luffy full of admiration.
"Luffy, you're really amazing! You made the top five! Those wings look so cool, I want them too!"
Usopp and Chopper spun around Luffy, continuously touching the fleshy red wings growing on Luffy's back.
Luffy was spirited too; he pulled his own wings while drooling: "Sanji, these wings look delicious, can you cook them?"
Sanji who was smoking could only remain speechless.
Nami immediately landed two punches: "All you think about is food! You're the captain, Luffy! These are Gold List rewards, can you be a little serious, idiot!"
Luffy collapsed to the floor; the wings on his back trembled slightly, as if also afraid of that terrifying woman.
Robin smiled slightly: "Luffy, now you're one step closer to your goal of becoming Pirate King~"
