The news naturally reached the Four Emperors soon enough.
In Whitebeard's territory, aboard the Moby Dick.
Marco walked over from the other side with a newspaper and a Record Pointer. Reaching Whitebeard's side, he smiled with interest. "Old Man, take a look at this."
Whitebeard sat on his throne, a jug of wine in hand. Only after taking a drink did he look at Marco. "Oh? Has something major happened on the seas again, Marco?"
He naturally knew about the recent unrest across the seas. Those people who had escaped from prison had finally grown tired of lying low and begun making moves.
The New World had been thrown into turmoil because of them.
Marco explained, "It seems someone wants to hold the Pirate Expo again. The news has already been spread through the newspapers, and there's even a Record Pointer attached. It should be the pointer leading to that island."
After obtaining a massive fortune and the Red Poneglyph, Festa had immediately begun making preparations. He produced large numbers of permanent pointers to Skull Island and, through Morgans's channels, spread news of the Expo across the entire sea!
Now, everyone with access to information around the world knew about it!
"Pirate Expo? It's been a long time since I heard that name. Brings back memories." Whitebeard paused, then laughed. "Gurarara! Do we know who's organizing it? You need something enticing if you want to hold an Expo."
Every Expo needed something sufficiently tempting. Otherwise, there was no way to draw all the pirates of the New World there!
"It's being hosted by Festa, the world's greatest festival organizer. There are rumors that this time, the prize is related to Roger." Marco unfolded the newspaper as he spoke.
"Roger? Now that's interesting..." Whitebeard took another drink, not paying much attention
