The two women, completely convinced of their defeat, shook their heads excitedly upon hearing this, admitting their inferiority.

"You guys continue, I'll go check if the course has deviated." Nami threw down the cards in her hand, got up, and ran away.

Karina quickly made an excuse for herself:

"I'll go check in the kitchen to see if Nokiko needs any help. Let's call it a day."

After saying that, she followed Nami and slipped away.

Robin watched the three leave with a smile in her eyes. From childhood to adulthood, she had never lost a game that required thinking.

After putting away the cards on the table, Robin was about to go talk to the ship's doctor, Kaya, about the child when she heard Nami, who had just left, rush back.

Behind her, a diligent newsbird took flight.

Nami, holding up today's newspaper, exclaimed in surprise:

"Everyone, come quick! There's some incredible news in today's newspaper!"

At her call, Vivi and Michita put down their fishing rods and came over from the stern of the boat.

Karina, Nojiko, and Kaya also poked their heads out of the cabin.

Tina gracefully leaped down from the observation tower and curiously approached Nami's side.

Bitz, carrying a large watermelon that appeared out of nowhere, walked down from the second deck, munching on it and looking puzzled.

"What's happened now? Can't the world just have some peace and quiet?"

Upon seeing Bits, Nami immediately exclaimed excitedly to him:

"Bitzs, come quick! This is related to you too!"

"What does this have to do with me? Did my bounty go up again? But I haven't done anything particularly significant lately."

Seeing Bits's bewildered expression, Nami stopped teasing her and read aloud the contents of the newspaper.

"Special news, according to our frontline reporters."

Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was defeated by the strongest rookie in history half a month ago. He was captured by the Big Mom Pirates after being seriously injured.

It is reported that Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, intends to marry Hawkeye and make him her 44th husband.

This news has been confirmed; it was confirmed by a member of the Big Mom Pirates. Please see the detailed report below.

After reading the most explosive news, Nami quickly flipped the newspaper over and shoved it in front of Beetz.

"Not only that, Beetz, look, there's even a picture of Zoro on this!"

Zoro is the new member who leaked the information to reporters, as mentioned in the newspapers.

Furthermore, the newspapers stated that he was a confidant of a key figure in the Charlotte family and was highly likely to become another capable lieutenant under Big Mom's command!

At this point, Nami was puzzled. How did Zoro also leave Luffy's pirate crew? And how did he end up in one of the Four Emperors' pirate crews?

When Beetz saw the photo of Zoro looking resistant in the newspaper, he was so stunned that the watermelon in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

What is all this nonsense? How did Hawkeye become the mating partner of an old lady? He's not a special race.

And what's wrong with Liu Zoro?! You promised to work hard together with Wang Luffy, so he would become the Pirate King and you would become the Great Swordsman.

How come they don't even have a bounty now, and you've already run off to the New World?

Damn, this plot is way off track!

Although the women didn't know Zoro, thanks to Bits' explanation, even Kaya, who had only been on the ship for a few days, learned what the Four Emperors and the Seven Warlords of the Sea were.

So when they heard this news, they were all completely dumbfounded.

Tina would rather believe that Vice Admiral Garp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku had an affair than accept that the proud Hawkeye would actually be captured by Big Mom to be used for breeding.

After holding it in for a long time, she could only manage a dry, curt reply.

"Awesome!"

They weren't just surprised, bewildered, or skeptical of the news's authenticity.

Everyone who read this report was shocked.

(Qian Hao Zhao) In the New World, Shanks, who was resting on a deserted island, spat out a mouthful of wine after seeing the newspaper.

"Pfft—! Cough hahahaha—!"

"What is this thing? It's so lame, that Mihawk guy."

As a close friend, Shanks made no attempt to hide his laughter and openly mocked Hawkeye in front of the crew, clutching his stomach.

Seeing his captain laughing through his tears, Rakiro, the chef who never put down his grilled meat, also smiled.

"Great, Captain. You were worried that Hawkeye would be killed by that rookie, but it seems he's still alive."

"Pfft—, living like this must be worse than death for that guy."

Shanks, who had finally calmed down a bit, burst out laughing again upon hearing this.

However, he was quite dissatisfied with what Raqilu said.

"Hey, who said I was worried about him? Death is commonplace on this sea. I'm not going to worry about an idiot who used to challenge me to a duel every now and then."

Rakiro declined to comment, simply stating that he had heard the news earlier and hadn't felt like drinking for a week, and that he was the one who hadn't had a hangover.

With Rakiro falling silent, the first mate, Ben Beckman, took over the conversation.

Beckman, a cigarette dangling from his lips, took the newspaper from Shanks, who was still laughing uproariously. While trying to sift through the pages for useful information, he remarked with a sigh:

"But that new kid is really something. Hawkeye was beaten up and couldn't even put up a fight while being taken from the East China Sea to the New World."

Even regaining consciousness only happened a few days ago.

My new book is now available! I hope all you book lovers and supporters will give me some flowers, monthly tickets, encouragement to update, and rewards. I would be extremely grateful.

Chapter 64 Reactions from All Sides, Transmission of 'Qi'!

When this topic came up, Shanks finally stopped smiling.

"Yeah, this is really unbelievable. If I hadn't been unable to get in touch with Hawkeye, I wouldn't have believed it either."

Looking up at his pirate flag fluttering in the sea breeze, Shanks couldn't help but sigh.

"I never imagined that time would pass so quickly. In the blink of an eye, I've become an old guy from the old era."

Perhaps before long, I too will be surpassed by young people, becoming a stepping stone for their fame.

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat melancholic.

The Red-Haired Pirates crew members who had previously joined in mocking Hawkeye and joking around fell silent, as if that scene was already a distant memory for them.

Beckman is sometimes speechless. Why can't everyone just laugh at Hawkeye together?

Why does this idiot captain have to make the atmosphere so heavy?

So he began his direct and merciless criticism:

"Hmph, that's just a matter of time. If you keep drinking all day like before, this day might come sooner than you think."

"Haha, that's true. Maybe I'll get myself drunk before they even come knocking on my door."

Shanks scratched the back of his head sheepishly and laughed, but he showed no sign of changing his expression. He waved his glass at Beckman and said smugly:

"But I can't change it now. It's already in my blood, an inseparable part of me, hahaha—"

"Idiot, what are you so smug about? Don't make your drinking sound so righteous!" Beckman roared angrily.

This was met with Shanks' even heartier laughter and shouts of "Keep drinking and keep making a ruckus!"

Soon enough, the Red-Haired Pirates returned to their previous cheerful atmosphere of eating and laughing as usual, much to Beckman's dismay.

Yasopp, the sniper in the pirate crew, paid no heed to his vice-captain's worries.

Drunk and unsteady, he approached Shanks, grabbed his neck, raised his glass, and said without a care in the world:

"So, Captain, should we go and rescue that idiot Hawkeye?"

"He's your friend, you can't just stand by and watch him die."

Shanks hooked his arm around Yasopp's shoulder and clinked glasses with him.

"Hey, hey, hey, saying he's dead is a bit of an exaggeration. 143"

When Miss Lingling was young, she was also a beautiful flower on the sea.

Mihawk might actually be enjoying it.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter, and the scene became even more joyful.

If Hawkeye could escape now and knew that his friend was laughing at him behind his back, he would definitely go after that bastard with a knife and kill him.

But Shanks isn't the only one in the world who laughs at Hawkeye.

The other two of the Four Emperors, Kaido of the Beasts and Edward Newgate of Whitebeard, also couldn't help but mock Hawkeye in front of their subordinates and sons after seeing the news.

Even if Hawkeye escapes from Charlotte Linlin in the future, this will still be a dark history that he can never wash away.

On the government's side, the Five Elders felt ashamed that yet another of their recognized Shichibukai had failed.

But Sengoku at the Navy Headquarters is having a good laugh.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea were never good people to begin with, and Hawkeye was the most troublesome one among them.

But right now, whether Hawkeye gets furious and fights Big Mom to the death, resulting in both sides suffering heavy losses.

This still attracted the intervention of his friend Shanks, triggering a major battle between the two Yonko pirate crews.

This was something that both the navy and the Sengoku period were happy to see.

Especially the latter possibility, if Shanks really fights Big Mom.

Even if their navy can't find an opportunity to gain some advantage, they can better deploy their plans against the Whitebeard Pirates.

Recently, Sengoku has already come up with a plan on how to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates; all he needs now is an opportunity.

Aside from the two major powers mentioned above, other great pirates, including the Seven Warlords of the Sea, also viewed Hawkeye's situation with a "let's watch the show" attitude.

But besides that, everyone remembered who had put Hawkeye in such a predicament, and they all became more vigilant and attentive to Bitz, the strongest rookie.

Once again, Beetz made a splash in front of the whole world, and at this moment he was still on his way back to the Grand Line.

Ah Niu is a giant manatee-like sea monster that has just come of age.

Like all his adult kin, he left his tribe after reaching adulthood and chose a piece of sea on the edge of the calm zone as his nest.

Today, as usual, he went out to find some small sea creatures to fill his stomach.

But as soon as it left the nest, it discovered a strange little creature swimming on the sea above its head.

Ah Niu quickly guessed that this was very likely the ship his parents had mentioned, a ship piloted by humans.

This was the first time it had ever encountered humans in its entire life. Even though they were so small that they weren't even big enough to fill a tooth gap, Ah Niu was still determined to go up and see what humans were like.

And then... it became a tragedy...

Black hair, black eyes, and a tail behind it!

Isn't this the human that Uncle Manatee was talking about, the one he thought was best not to mess with?!

Thinking of the terrifying legends about the other party circulating in the tribe, Ah Niu was instantly filled with fear, frantically racking his meager brain to think of a way to escape.

In front of it, on a small boat that appears extremely tiny compared to its 5000-meter-long body.

Bits looked at the sea king that charged at him but did nothing and just stood there in a daze, and felt a sense of unease.

"What's going on? Did they just come out for some fresh air, or are they here to attack us?"

But why is it staring at me, and why does it seem afraid of me?

Muttering something under his breath, not quite understanding, Bitz tentatively called out to Ah Niu:

"Hey, calf, you're blocking my way. Get out of my way if you don't want to die."

"Moo! Moo!"

Startled, Ah Niu instinctively stepped aside, making room for him.

Seeing its cowardly appearance, Bitsmo stroked his chin, a wicked smile gradually appearing on his lips.

"Little Cow, I've suddenly changed my mind. Stick your head out here, I have a favor to ask you..."
