Chapter 57: What is 1 plus ?
Luffy retracted his fist. He looked at the ball of light in front of him, and a question mark popped up in his head: "What is this?"
"Hey. Everyone. Did you hear any sound just now?" Yun Tianxiang felt that he was hallucinating. He picked his ears and then smashed a corpse with a cloud of fire.
"Yun Tianxiang, a ball of light is floating over you and Luffy, and the sound is coming from the ball of light!" Zoro squatted aside because he had no effective way to fight the enemy.
"Meat! Sanji, I want to eat meat~" Luffy was not listening at all, he was asking Sanji for meat.
Sanji was helpless. He spread his hands and said, "Wait a minute, Luffy. I remember the warehouse on the ship is here. Green algae head, come and give me a hand."
"You are really good at ordering people around." Zoro stood up from the ground and reluctantly followed Sanji towards the interior of the battleship.
"Teacher Zefa!" Ian looked at Zefa, and there was also a ball of light in front of Zefa.
These five balls of light are not flying randomly. They fall according to the five elements formation of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
They correspond to Gold --- Yun Tianxiang, Wood---- Ross, Water----- Boa Hancock, Fire----- Luffy, and Earth---- Zephyr!
"The first trial, the literary trial, begins now! There are four questions in total! Each question is a quick-answer question, and each person can only answer once for each question. If you answer incorrectly three times, the next question will be automatically answered, and everyone will be punished! There will be rewards for those who answer correctly! Rewards for this round: Living Dead, Flesh and Bones Healing Medicine, Black Jade Life-Prolonging Ointment!"
Inside the light ball, an old voice came from the ancient times, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Hearing the ancient voice, Nico Robin asked Moon Rabbit, "Can everyone participate, Moon Rabbit?"
Moon Rabbit was rushing towards the Yuntaishan battleship, and Nico Robin tightly grasped the hair on Moon Rabbit's back with both hands.
Moon Rabbit: "Bunny doesn't know either. This is the first time the palace has been opened. The adults didn't tell us what the trial was. They only told us that when we meet someone with good qualifications, we will open the palace. This is the first time that Bunny has opened the palace in all these years."
Boa Hancock has completed the marrow cleansing and bone cutting at this moment, and the slave mark on her back has completely disappeared!
Hearing the voice from the light ball, Boa Hancock's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. She asked her two sisters to come closer and whispered, "Prepare a backless cheongsam for me later, and tell the tribesmen that I found the elixir that can lift the curse in the secret realm, and the curse on my body has been lifted."
"Got it, onee-sama!"
Sonia and Mary's answers were tinged with envy.
Boya Hancock wiped herself and put on the cheongsam prepared by her two sisters, then called out to the boat spirit: "Boat spirit, tell me what this trial is all about."
The ship elf popped its head out of the pool and said, "Your Majesty. This is a test for outsiders. You will get rewards if you pass the test. As for the punishment for failure, I'm not sure. This is the first time this test has been triggered."
"I see." Boa Hancock supported her chin with one hand and looked at her two sisters. "Don't rush to answer unless you are absolutely sure! We don't need this ointment!"
Sony & Mary: "Yes! Onee-sama!"
Naval camp.
"Teacher Zefa! We will definitely get this plaster for you!"
Zefa's students were in high spirits. Even though they didn't know how to answer the questions, their voices were very loud and their momentum was amazing.
"You guys." Zefa was moved by this group of students. He was proud to be able to teach such a group of students, but he didn't like these kids to do stupid things. "Don't be impulsive. Don't rush to answer if you are not sure enough!"
At the entrance of the osmanthus forest, Losis met Moon Rabbit coming out of the osmanthus forest. Nico Robin looked at the man in front of her and frowned instinctively.
Just as Rossis was greeting and wanted to recruit Nico Robin into his team.
The ancient voice sounded again, and at the same time, the osmanthus flowers in the osmanthus forest began to fall and float towards the crowd. A golden osmanthus buzzer quickly condensed on everyone's left hands.
"Now. Let's start answering the questions! Question 1: What is one plus one?"
Yun Tianxiang sat cross-legged, his left hand supporting his right elbow, his right hand supporting his chin, his head tilted 45 degrees to the sky: "One plus one doesn't equal two? No, this is an ancient question, the answer shouldn't be that simple."
Luffy looked depressed: "One plus one equals how much, how should I know! I want meat! ~"
Nami looked at Usopp, "Usopp. One plus one should equal two, right?"
Usopp was a little unsure of himself because of Nami's tone: "It should be equal to two."
Zoro was holding the food he had just brought out from the warehouse: "One plus one, what is that?" (If you ask how many knives one knife plus one knife equals, Zoro will answer you in seconds!)
Sanji is using a black knife to cut vegetables and cook in the kitchen. "This supreme knife is really comfortable to cut vegetables. No wonder Yun Tianxiang uses it as a cooking utensil!"
A Jin looked at everyone and said, "Shouldn't you think about how to use this?"
Zefa looked at Ajin with sharp eyes. Ajin had always been very low-key, so Zefa didn't pay attention to him. Now, Ajin's question successfully made Zefa notice him!
Yes. Everyone is trying to figure out the answer to the question, but no one is trying to figure out how to answer it first!
"Ding~ Someone answered first! Please answer!"
Just as Zefa was thinking about how to respond, the ancient voice sounded again.
The ball of light on Zefa floated to the side, above the head of his disciple Ain. At the same time, the image of Ain was projected in front of the other balls of light.
"Who is this? The Navy." Boa Hancock looked at the sudden projection in the room and recognized that this was the female Navy whom she had met twice.
"Yes, elder sister. It seems that she has grabbed the right to answer this question." Sonia raised her arm. The golden osmanthus buzzer was worn on her hand like a watch. The golden osmanthus was very eye-catching.
"Interesting. Let's see if she can answer it correctly." Boa Hancock leaned lazily on Salome, quietly waiting for Ian to answer the question.
Sanji, who was cooking, looked at Zoro with a confused look on his face: "Quick answer question, what is it?"
Zoro slammed the food on the chopping board. He looked at Sanji speechlessly and said, "You idiot, all you think about is the mermaid next door."
After all, Zoro had received a favor from Xia Li, so after Losis disappeared, he used a knife to cut the ropes that trapped the mermaids and freed them, so that the two of them could successfully reach the warehouse and kitchen in the battleship. Xia Li took care of Arlong in the next room, and the mermaids helped make meals in another kitchen.
Since Sanji saw the mermaid, he has been obsessed with her. When he was cooking, his mind was full of the mermaid girl whom he just glimpsed.
"Shut up! You green algae head. I never thought that the ugly fishman Arlong would have such a beautiful mermaid sister. I'm so envious!" Sanji used the black knife to cut the sawtooth shark viciously.
Sanji and Zoro were just arguing in the kitchen, with no desire to answer questions at all.
Unlike the noisy kitchen duo, everyone on the battleship was waiting for Ian's answer with bated breath.
"Ain." Zefa called out to Ain, who seemed to be daydreaming, in a deep and powerful voice.
Ain was a little frightened and her body trembled slightly. She glanced at Zefa, who gave her encouragement with his eyes.
Ian took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "The answer is two!"
As Ian opened his mouth to answer.
Everyone's hearts began to beat faster.
The ancient voice will sound again as time goes by, and it will reveal whether Ian's answer is wrong.
"answer......."
