Chapter 243: Chapter 243
"Damn it!!!"
Sanji's eyes brimmed with tears as he cursed the injustice of it all.
Zoro, on the other hand, was at a loss for how to feel. If the reward had been anything else, it would have been fine, but being gifted a living, breathing person—especially a beautiful woman—left him speechless.
"Quit whining already. If anyone should be jealous, it's us. We didn't get any rewards!" Usopp snapped, annoyed at Sanji's complaints.
"I didn't even do anything..." Chopper muttered sadly, on the verge of tears. From start to finish, it felt like he had contributed nothing.
"Don't feel bad. Your moment will come," Robin said kindly, handing Chopper a marshmallow. Instantly, Chopper forgot his sadness.
Tony Stark: "It seems impossible to predict how this screen determines rewards. Even Valkyries are included? According to myth, Valkyries cater to the needs of the souls they guide, even offering intimate services in some cases."
Natasha: "Stark, is your brain always stuck on things like this?"
Tony Stark: "I'm merely recounting mythological records!"
Jiraiya: "Such a thing really exists?"
Tsunade: "Jiraiya! What are you thinking about?!"
Sisyphus: "Actually, there's some truth to it. Norse mythology does mention Valkyries engaging in such behavior."
Odin: "My Valkyries absolutely do not do such things!"
Zoro shook his head after reading the comments. "Serving personally? Offering themselves? That's ridiculous!"
"It's not ridiculous," Horace replied seriously, meeting Zoro's gaze.
"As Valkyries, we're meant to merge with the spirits we guide, fighting as one. We also care for their daily needs, ensuring they're always in top condition for battle. If Master Zoro desires, I'm always ready to offer myself to you."
With that, Horace began undoing her clothing, much to everyone's shock.
"Stop! No! I don't need that!" Zoro shouted, hastily stopping her and pulling her clothes back into place.
"Damn you, moss-head," Sanji muttered, tears streaming even more heavily down his face.
Bruce Wayne: "Ahem. Let's not delve into such inappropriate topics further."
Doraemon: "Agreed. This is getting far too inappropriate."
"Hey! Bruce Wayne, I've got a ring just like yours, except mine's green and yours is yellow. They work the same, right?" Luffy asked excitedly, brandishing his Green Lantern Ring.
"I wouldn't know. I don't have a Green Lantern Ring," Bruce replied.
Diana: "A Green Lantern Ring? You're quite lucky to obtain one."
"Diana, you know about these?" Bruce asked.
Diana: "Didn't I mention? In ancient times, Earth faced an alien invasion, and members of the Green Lantern Corps helped repel the invaders."
"Why would aliens protect Earth?" Bruce asked, frowning.
Diana: "The Green Lantern Corps is an intergalactic peacekeeping force. They intervene whenever malevolent extraterrestrials cause chaos, maintaining peace across the universe."
Dan Moroboshi: "That sounds just like the Ultra Warriors from the Land of Light. I'd like to meet them someday."
Sisyphus: "A peacekeeping force stronger than us? Interesting."
"Didn't you say these rings require extensive scientific knowledge to use?" Franky asked, recalling Bruce Wayne's words. "Our captain..."
"What's science?" Luffy asked innocently.
"Forget it," Nami sighed. "He can't even handle basic math."
"Haha! That's a waste of potential!" Loki laughed.
"It's not a problem," Bruce said. "Imagination can compensate for the lack of scientific knowledge. A strong imagination is key to fully utilizing the ring's power."
"Then I'm all set!" Luffy declared confidently. "My imagination is unparalleled!"
Tony Stark: "Seeing your chaotic fighting style, I can believe that."
Meanwhile, in another universe, Goku and Vegeta's battle raged on.
Covered in injuries and panting heavily, Goku remained resolute. "Vegeta, you're really strong now, but I won't lose!"
"Hmph! Diehard fool," Vegeta sneered, raising his hand to unleash a massive energy blast. But he suddenly clutched his chest, coughing and struggling for breath.
"What's happening?! Why do I feel so weak? What did you do?!" Vegeta demanded, glaring at Goku.
"I didn't do anything," Goku replied with a smile. "It's your body struggling to handle all that power. Becoming a Super Saiyan isn't just about strength—it requires adapting to the new limits. You rushed into battle without preparation, and now you're paying the price."
"Shut up! Do you think you can beat me just because I feel a bit off?!" Vegeta snapped.
"Who knows?" Goku said calmly, eating a Senzu Bean to restore his strength. Fully rejuvenated, he powered up even further.
"Vegeta, I will defeat you!" Goku declared, charging at Vegeta.
"Damn you, Kakarot!" Vegeta roared, ignoring his body's protests as he met Goku head-on. The two resumed their intense battle, their clash reducing the surrounding mountains to rubble and leaving the battlefield a vast basin.
