Even in my most destitute state, I am still a free and unrestrained pirate, a child of the sea, a brave warrior of the sea. What right do you, a mere beast, have to look down on me?!
Thinking of this, the young pirate reached out to grab the news bird, take it back to his room and teach it a lesson, so that it would know that it was not someone to be trifled with.
The newsbird remained unmoved, seemingly unafraid of the person in front of it attacking it, and even let out a few slightly provocative cries, its arrogant arrogance impossible to suppress.
'Go ahead and do it, you trash!'
It wasn't afraid of these pirates at all; it had powerful backers.
On my first day at work, the boss told me that anyone who dared to lay a hand on them on this vast ocean would be blacklisted by the news agency!
Those who are blacklisted by the news agency are not simply unable to buy newspapers.
First, whenever something happens in the future and these people's names need to appear in the newspapers, they will be completely blacklisted and no one can clear their names. This will make the Navy pay close attention to them and ruin their public image.
Secondly, the entire underworld will carefully consider how to deal with these people. For example, the "Sea Event" that appeared in the theatrical versions of "Golden City", "Stampede", and "Red-Haired Diva" may be skipped without notification.
Then there are places like the shipping guild, the entertainment district, and the black market for weapons, where people will be ripped off terribly; in addition, there are many other things that ordinary people cannot imagine. In short, the underground forces completely blockade these places, making it impossible for them to move an inch on the entire sea.
With its control over intelligence and public opinion in Qinghai, this is the weight that World Economic News Agency carries in this vast sea of information!
"What are you doing, you little brat?!"
A fist slammed into the young pirate's head, and a much more mature-looking pirate stepped out from the side: "If you're going to raise the price, then raise it! What are you yelling about?!"
"The news agency always delivers information at a fair price, and they never raise prices easily! Normally it's 50 Berries, but now it's asking for 200 Berries, so there must be some major news!"
The middle-aged pirate cursed a few times before bending down and ruthlessly pulling out another 150 Berries from the young pirate, which he then handed to the news bird with a fawning expression.
The news bird was very satisfied with the middle-aged pirate's attitude. It smugly accepted the money, turned around arrogantly, and flew away with a swagger.
Once the newsbird had flown far away, the middle-aged pirate's face darkened. He cursed a few unpleasant words at the bird's silhouette in the distance, then took the newspaper and walked toward their captain.
Upon reaching the captain, the middle-aged pirate, still with a fawning expression, presented the brand-new newspaper, still smelling of ink, with both hands: "Captain, this is today's newspaper. That unprecedented news bird is selling for 300 Berries a copy; something big must have happened!"
Every day at this time, the pirate captain would sit on the deck, drinking a cup of tea, eating a freshly made donut, and leisurely reading the newspaper—a fact known to everyone on the ship.
"Okay... I understand. I'll go to the finance department to get the money later."
The captain took the newspaper, his face full of anticipation. "300 Berries a copy? I'd like to see what big news it has!"
When his gaze fell upon the newspaper, the first thing he saw were the two large, bold headlines—
The Two Emperors have fallen! The Age of Mages has arrived!
The evil bloodline has not been extinguished! 'Pirate King' Roger actually had a child?!
The pirate captain froze for a moment, then eagerly looked down.
……
Marineford, Marshal's office.
"These mages are truly terrifying; they've defeated two Yonko (Four Emperors) in a row!"
"Would those guys accept the territory of two Yonko crews?"
Aokiji and Kizaru both showed obvious fear of the mages, while Garp excitedly munched on a donut: "Hahaha... I don't think those kids are bad people. They haven't done anything bad yet, so there's no need to be too nervous, right?"
Sengoku frowned deeply, his expression extremely grave: "Of all times... what a headache!"
Tsuru said calmly, "Let's put that aside for now. For the Navy, the most important thing right now is to deal with Whitebeard!"
"That's the only way. Let's notify Sakazuki to come back first!"
"I'll talk, I'll talk... Is anyone listening to me?" Garp raised his voice slightly.
The two ignored Garp's words and continued their discussion: "For the Navy, this might also be an opportunity. Now that Big Mom and Kaido have both been defeated, if Whitebeard is also defeated next, it will be a significant blow to the pirate forces!"
"Yes, that's why we absolutely cannot lose this war! Let's plan the war against Whitebeard more carefully!"
……
Revolutionary Army Base.
"Let's send someone to make contact with them, mages... If this force joins us, our revolutionary cause might be able to move forward more quickly!"
"Hey, Sabo! What have you been looking at with the newspaper since yesterday?"
……
Paradise, a floating island.
"Did Kaido and Linlin fail? They're getting old!!"
An old man with a cigar dangling from his shoulder sat beneath the ship's wheel, a look of melancholy on his face. "But for them, ending like this isn't so bad! Speaking of which, it's about time I made some noise!"
"Hmm... I never imagined Roger had a child back then. What a shameless old bastard!!"
"Let's catch up with some old friends first!"
……
Dressrosa.
"Hehehehe!!! I never thought even 'Kaido of the Beasts' would be defeated..."
Doflamingo sipped red wine and ate steak, laughing arrogantly, "Having defeated two Yonko crews in a row, the upheaval in the New World is unstoppable!!"
……
A dark and gloomy ancient castle.
"A female swordsman? That's rare! She can defeat King of the Beasts Pirates, she should be a good opponent. I really want to spar with her!"
Hawkeye gently swirled the red wine in his hand, a conflicted look on his face. Beside him lay a naval summons.
"But if I go to their door, won't people gossip about me?"
If the other party is a man, no one will say anything if he goes to them; but if the other party is a woman, it is inevitable that he will be suspected of bullying the weak.
……
Calm Belt, Daughter Island.
"Lady Snake Princess! Something terrible has happened!! The New World..."
"Get out! I'm going to take a bath, I'm not in the mood to listen to your nonsense!"
"Uh……"
Boa Hancock walked into the bathroom without looking back, leaving her grandmother standing there helplessly.
……
Sabaody Archipelago.
Inside Shakky's extortionate bar, Rayleigh drank while Shakky smoked, the two of them sitting and standing in silence for a long time.
"I didn't expect Kaido and Linlin to be defeated so quickly. The tide of the new era is coming faster and stronger than I anticipated!"
"Compared to that, you should have more important things to do right now, right? The Navy is already gathering its forces, and time is running out. Ace's situation is not optimistic!"
A street on the island.
"Hey hey hey... What's going on? We haven't even entered the New World yet, and two of the 'Four Emperors' have already been defeated? They're so useless!!"
"Idiot! Didn't you see what was written in the newspaper? You'll only get beaten up if you go!"
"What did you say?!"
A battle between several pirates is about to break out.
In a shadowy corner, a figure sat quietly on a crate, gripping a newspaper tightly, his mind racing with frustration: 'What's going on?! Kaido lost? Does that mean my undercover operation is still on? I'd better contact my superiors first…'
……
The New World, the sea area near Wano Country.
"Those guys actually did something like that..."
"Fine! Kaido's defeat makes things easier for me!"
Crocodile gestured to his newly recruited subordinates to set sail into Wano Country, a slight smile playing on his lips as he chewed on a cigar, his eyes gleaming with barely suppressed laughter: "In that case, 'Pluto, the Dark Lord' is mine!!"
……
Moby Dick.
"Dad, the results for Whole Cake Island are in!"
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Big Mom and Kaido have both been defeated. The Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates have been completely wiped out. The mages have won a great victory!"
When Bista reported, his face still showed a hint of disbelief, clearly he was also surprised by the result and had not yet calmed down.
"Really? They lost..."
Whitebeard gazed at the ocean ahead, feeling the gusts of sea wind hitting his face, and felt a deep sense of melancholy. He suddenly thought of his time decades ago, when he was a member of the Rocks Pirates.
Back then, Shiki was still young and ambitious, Big Mom's figure hadn't changed, Bakkin was still a great beauty, and Kaido was just an apprentice. Everything was so wonderful...
'A new era has arrived, is it time for me to retire? After rescuing Ace, shouldn't I be close to retiring? I'm starting to miss the sake from my hometown…'
"Marco, bring the wine!!"
However, half a minute later, instead of Marco's drink, Whitebeard received Jozu's Den Den Mushi: "Dad, someone's looking for you!"
"At this time? Who is it?"
"What an amazing guy!"
……
The Red Fosse.
"Two Yonko have been defeated, one Yonko is about to fall from grace, and it's even been revealed that 'Pirate King' Roger had a child. What are your plans?"
Ben Beckman was not optimistic about Whitebeard's chances in the upcoming war between the Navy and Whitebeard, while Shanks completely trusted his judgment.
Shanks was silent for a moment, then said, "I think... I should go find someone first!"
