Whitebeard's Death Shakes the World

The next day, the world was shaken.

Despite the World Government and Navy's attempts to keep the news under wraps, this battle that shook the old order could not be concealed.

The following morning, the front page of the World Economy News Paper featured a striking headline in bold, blood-red font that swept the globe:

[The Four Emperors "Whitebeard" is killed in battle! The Whitebeard Pirates are wiped out!]

[Fierce battle on Deserted Island in the New World! Marines Roy Sakazuki, Enel Ace, and two others join forces to end the old era!]

The news swept the globe like a hurricane, newspapers were sent to every corner of the world like snowflakes, and every Harbor, every island, every teahouse and bar was set ablaze.

The kings of the New World are enraged, confused, and terrified.

The common people were in a state of collective astonishment;

And those reclusive old monsters also opened their eyes from their slumber.

"Whitebeard of the Four Emperors, died in battle"

This is not just news; it is the clarion call for the complete collapse of the Old World order!

Holy Land Mary Geoise Room of Authority

Inside the ancient and solemn conference room, all the glittering furnishings seemed exceptionally somber.

The Five Elders sat around a dark round table, the atmosphere deathly silent, even the crackling of the wall lamps sounded like needles.

Saint Nusjuro slowly put down the newspaper and said in a low voice, "Whitebeard is dead... The news can no longer be suppressed, and public opinion is out of control."

The world has begun to experience violent upheaval.

Saint Warcury frowned and said, "CP0 has confirmed the news from Sengoku's previous report."

"But what is most alarming—" his gaze sharpened slightly, "Is not Whitebeard's death, but the young man who brought all of this to light."

Saint Shepherd Ju Peter replied in a low voice, "Roy."

"According to Battlefield reconnaissance reports, before Sakazuki and Enel arrived, he almost single-handedly suppressed the main force of the entire Whitebeard Pirates..."

"Marco was captured, Whitebeard died in battle... at the heart of all these victories was Roy."

The five people fell silent for a moment, as if the air had been frozen and oppressive.

"He's too strong."

"That's too unpredictable."

After a moment, Saint Saturn slowly uttered, "The navy has begun to run wild."

"If we don't set limits on him, it won't just be the New World order that will be shaken."

At this moment, Roy's name officially ascended to the top of the World Government's deepest blacklist.

New World: Onigashima

What?! Whitebeard is dead?!

Kaido's bloodshot, drunken eyes widened as he spat out a mouthful of strong liquor, smashing the massive wine jar in his hand against the Throne, shattering it into pieces!

Before he finished speaking, the entire Onigashima fell into a brief, deathly silence, broken only by Kaido's heavy breathing.

He suddenly stood up, reeking of alcohol, his muscles bulging, instantly transforming into a half-human, half-dragon form. His enormous dragon horns ripped through the roof, and his hair stood on end in fury!

"Such a massive Whitebeard Pirates, just like that, gone?!"

The All-Stars stood below, heads bowed, silent; the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

Finally, Jin spoke in a deep voice, "Roy is no longer just a simple Marine."

"Compared to Akainu... he's probably more deserving to be called a 'monster'."

Kaido clenched his fists, his pupils contracted like Beast, and roared so loudly it cracked the walls, "Immediately send men to keep an eye on Roy!! I need to know who his next target is!!"

"If he dares to lay a hand on us, I'll personally smash his bones!!"

But the moment the words fell, a deep tremor and doubt flashed in Kaido's eyes—

Roy, what exactly are you trying to do?

Totto Land of Whole Cake Island

"Oh my god! Newgate... is dead?!"

Upon hearing the messenger's first shout, Charlotte Linlin's hand, which was munching on a cream pudding, instantly shattered, and the sweet cream dripped between her fingers.

"Who killed him?"

"Report... It's Marine Vice Admiral Roy teaming up with Admiral Akainu, Thunder God Enel, and... Fire Fist Ace."

"Roy... it's him again..."

Linlin's eyes twitched, and she immediately stood up, her large body trembling violently!

The entire candy hall erupted into chaos.

Katakuri stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Mother, we've intercepted some information about that battle."

"Roy was able to send Vista in an instant, severely injure Jozu, and stand his own against Whitebeard in a head-on confrontation."

Linlin's expression changed drastically, and she murmured, "This guy... Kaido was defeated by him once."

She suddenly raised her head, her voice frantic. "We can't just sit here and wait to die any longer!"

"Accelerate the marriage tea party!!"

"Initiate legion expansion! Reorganize maritime territories!!"

As she finished speaking, her tone softened, and gazing at the night sky outside the window, she softly uttered that name:

"Kaido..."

New World Route Red Force

The wind billows the red sails, and the crimson giant ship cuts through the waves.

On the deck, Shanks sat quietly under the mast at the bow, clutching a newspaper that had been torn to shreds by the wind.

His one arm was bulging with veins, and his knuckles were white with anger.

The Griffon at his waist hummed softly from its sheath, as if sensing its master's rage and murderous intent.

"Captain..." Benn Beckman walked slowly over, his hand, which was holding a cigarette, trembling slightly. "Are you alright?"

Shanks slowly stood up, staring intently at the distant horizon, his teeth clenched, and he growled in a low voice:

"... The time is clearly not right yet!!"

"Roy... he's ruining the opportunity Captain Roger risked his life for!!"

"He ignored the threads of fate, the rhythm of the world, the balance maintained by the Four Emperors on the Grand Line!!"

At that moment, his eyes held anger, shock, and a hint of inexplicable fear.

"He must know something,"

Shanks spoke slowly, his fist trembling slightly, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted so decisively."

"That was the entire Whitebeard Pirates... Newgate, even he was defeated..."

Benn Beckman remained silent for a long while, then finally asked in a low voice, "Should we stop him?"

Shanks did not answer, but simply looked up at the churning clouds in the sky, his lips pressed tightly together, remaining silent.

The winds are rising and the clouds are surging; something seems to be awakening in the depths of the distant sea.

Revolutionary Army Baltigo

Whitebeard... is he dead?

Inside the Revolutionary Army Marine Headquarters meeting room, Long, draped in a black cloak, rested his hands on a huge map table, his brows furrowed deeply.

"The news has been confirmed— Roy, Sakazuki, Enel, Ace joined forces and nearly wiped out the entire Whitebeard Pirates, capturing Marco alive and dealing a devastating blow to the Whitebeard Pirates."

Ivankov stared in disbelief. "Those are the Four Emperors! The Four Emperors!! You're telling me that the four of them wiped out Newgate's entire Pirate crew?!"

Sabo's expression was complicated as he clenched his fist and muttered, "We've only been separated from Ace for a few days... and he's already caught up in this kind of battle..."

"Is he alright...?"

The dragon raised its head, its hawk-like gaze sweeping across the world map on the table, its fingertip pausing on the area between the "New World" and the "Holy Land Mary Geoise".

"Roy..."

He is no longer just a variable, but a catalyst for New Era.

He slowly turned around, his Hunting Roar in the wind, and whispered in a voice as loud as thunder, "We need to re-examine our rhythm."

"The World Government, the Navy, Pirates, the Revolutionary Army... no one can remain unscathed anymore."

He stood by the window, gazing at the distant sky filled with rolling dark clouds, and slowly reached out his hand, as if to grasp the old era that was about to collapse.

"... New Era is dawning."
