News of Whitebeard's death was indeed spread across the world by the World Economic Journal the very next day.
Faced with this news, everyone's first reaction was disbelief.
After all, Whitebeard had been so powerful. Just days ago, he had been clashing head-on with the World Government, yet now he had actually been taken down by them!
When ordinary pirates heard this, their first thought was that it was a lie from the World Government.
The civilians of the Pirate World, however, burst into tears of joy at the news.
After all, who knew how much pressure they had endured during this time?
With that terrifying man, Whitebeard, having broken through Marine Headquarters, they had been living in fear these past days.
Now that the World Government had eliminated that monster Whitebeard, the boulder weighing on their chests had been shattered. For the people of the World Government's member nations, today was destined to be a happy day.
As for the truly powerful figures of the sea, and those who understood Whitebeard's strength.
Looking at the newspapers in their hands, they did not rashly believe the World Economic Journal as others had.
The World Government had manipulated public opinion through newspapers more than once or twice, so for the truly strong and intelligent people of this sea.
They knew that everything published in the newspapers was only what the World Government wanted them to know.
As for what it did not want them to know, the World Government would not reveal a single word.
Therefore, when it came to major events, the only truth was intelligence gathered by one's own subordinates, or what one had personally witnessed.
One news report threw the entire Pirate World into an uproar.
Whether it was the underworld or the major powers in the open.
