Looking at the overly large screen before them, everyone's nerves were tense as hell!
Their heart rates continuously leaped chaotically as they tried to contain the many stupid smiles on their faces.
With their glasses on, they just felt like they were about to see something too cool for words.
Just watching the countdown on the massive screen was enough to get some of them rolling because in the audience, the sounds of chewing and straw pulling could be heard from time to time.
F***!
This popcorn and Cleanser drink was so good that they had almost eaten it all before the countdown ended.
Nianzu, who watched Chu Che not take a single bite or drink, couldn't help marveling at his willpower.
As expected of Boss Chu.
He could even resist such temptation.
Meanwhile, he, Nianzu, had already eaten a third of his popcorn and taken a large sip of his drink.
Sigh... Why were the popcorn bags and drink cups not bigger?
Couldn't there be a size that was as large as himself?
Oh... The problem with starvation.
Speaking of the food and drinks, Nianzu felt a sudden change within him the more he ate or drank.
The change shocked him so much that he stayed in a daze for a while after secretly looking into his body.
So these things were like elixirs?
Not only did they taste good, but they could also make him stronger?
Nianzu's lips quivered in shock after feeling the changes within him.
They weren't too great, but they were there.
This was no doubt a treasure that should be cherished!
Of course, it wasn't just him that noticed these changes, as Tsongai, Old Fru, and several others felt a wave of highly pure qi whisk into their bodies and circle through their spirit veins the more they ate or drank.
Everyone was immersed in their own thoughts while watching the countdown, until soon... The timer turned Zero, and something spectacular happened.
[5... 4... 3... 2... 1... ]
~Whoosh!!!!
What?!!
(°0°)
In this instant, Nianzu and everyone else teleported alongside their seats into some strange world.
They couldn't interfere with the world itself but could only watch what was going on.
It was as if they were ghosts watching the scene.
F***!
They could see everything, see everything too clearly, as well as hear things as well.
This... This... Were they in another world?
.
And soon, a voice echoed out, alongside some images of a man wearing red, kneeling beside a few men who had swords with them.
[Wealth, Fame, Power.
Gold Rodgers, the king of the pirates, attained this and everything else the world had to offer.
And his dying words, drive countless souls to the seas.
"YOU WANT MY TREASURE? YOU CAN HAVE IT.
I left everything I gathered in one place.
Now, you just have to find it"]
Treasure? Where?
Everyone got excited with the prospects of finding this treasure.
The aura coming from the man kneeling was so strong that they almost dared not look.
Gold Rodgers.
Just the name alone made them want to worship him.
He was like a celestial being, emitting a radiance that was just too much for them to bear.
That means that his treasures should be incredible, right?
When he spoke, a certain enlightenment spread through the audience, making their hearts burn and yearn for adventure.
What was this treasure?
And how could they find it?
The Grand Line?
How could they themselves get there?
Without a doubt, everyone's heart was solely focused on the treasure and the Grand Line.
But they didn't have much time to dwell on it because following that, a very catchy song and a few more images came on, that mesmerized them silly.
[Come aboard, and bring along... all your hopes and dreams... together we... will find everything... that we're looking for... One Piece!~~~]
Like idiots, they started bobbing their heads to the song.
They once again saw that strange thin boy on the posters, alongside some others.
But this time, he was so lifelike.
F***!
They even stretched their hands and touched his jaws. It was just that the person there couldn't feel it.
They could see every single strand of hair on the boy.
The dirt on the ground and the fresh seaside air also penetrated their nostrils, reminding them of how real this place was.
But what impressed them the most was how much pure qi was hovering around the place.
Damn. Another powerful realm!
Once again, they knew that this place would have monster characters too.
The Song went on, making them see a few key characters, as well as understand what the world here was about.
And soon, the episode title came up in a very childlike but serious voice.
[I'm Luffy! The man who's gonna be King of the Pirates!]
Everyone smiled subconsciously.
They hadn't even properly met Luffy yet. But they already liked him.
Like that, everyone was now immersed in watching the first episode of One Piece.
.
"Hey, look! It's that orange-haired girl from the song. Heavens! She's pretty. Who is she? And why aren't they telling us her name yet?"
"Oh no! A pink pirate ship is attacking them."
"Hahahahaha! Did that pirate lady Alvida just call herself the most beautiful woman on the seas? Hahahaha. Poor Coby has to lie to keep himself alive."
"Hey. If I were him, I might have to lie too. Can't you feel the aura coming out from lady Alvida?
"Hey! What's in that barrel that they scooted out from the seas? It's rolling down into the lower docks, but no one's noticing the aura coming from within it."
"Wow! It's senior Luffy!"
"Aiyo~~ These poor pirates are trying to intimidate him, but senior Luffy is only concerned about food. Hahahahaha!"
"Hahaha! My belly! My belly! I can't help it anymore. Senior Luffy is just too much! Hahahhahahah!"
"That's it! I've decided to be senior Luffy's sworn fan forever! He's just too funny! And the thing is that I don't even think he's trying to be funny. He's just too dense! How can he accidentally hit someone but then turn around and advise them that they'll catch a cold if they stay on the ground for too long? Hahahahaha!"
"No! This is so far the best senior in all the realms that we have visited. I don't even mind that his strength is far weaker than Senior Gold Rodger's. He's just the best!!"
