| abstract | - Ordeal of Balls (玉の試練 Tama no Shiren?) is managed by the priest Satori of the wandering forest. The survival rate of this trial is 10%. In the English version of Pirates Carnival and FUNimation's edited-for-TV dub, it's called the I.Q. Orb Test, but in the FUNimation's uncut DVDs, it's called the Ordeal of Spheres. It first appeared in Chapter 246 and Episode 160. This trial has many cloud spheres called "Surprise Balls", which hold random tricks such as snakes and explosions, though they sometimes hold harmless things such as flowers. Navigating a boat on the Milky Road that winds through the forest is the only way out, and Satori's task is to separate the victims from their boat and prevent them from boarding it again before it leaves the forest. This trial was the first choice of Luffy when he, Usopp, and Sanji went into the Upper Yard, searching for the others who were kidnapped, and though Satori's Mantra abilities and experience with Sky Warfare flustered them, they ultimately succeeded in conquering him.
