A Battle That Shook the World

"Brubrubru! Brubrubru!"

The rapid, urgent ringing of the Den Den Mushi echoed in the empty room. The editor-in-chief of the news agency, who was lounging on the table with his legs crossed and reading the newspaper, glanced at the Den Den Mushi with boredom, yawned, and muttered to himself.

"They actually used the most valuable image transfer button. It seems to be that paparazzi Jefferson. You better hope you got some valuable footage, otherwise you can go back and clean the toilets."

He pressed the button on the Den Den Mushi, projecting the image onto the wall in front of him.

Clang!

With just a fleeting glance, the editor-in-chief rolled smoothly to the ground, but he quickly got up at the fastest speed he had ever been—ten times faster than when he was caught cheating and fled.

He braced his hands on the table, staring at the image on the wall, panting heavily, looking exactly like a male dog in heat.

"Awoo!"

He rushed out of the office in a frenzy, smashing the door open with his head and using his neck as a shield to break through it. "Everyone stop what you're doing and quickly spread this video data I have to every place that broadcasts video."

The group of clerks were already frightened by the sudden wolf howl, and now seeing the editor-in-chief burst out of the room through the door, they were so scared that they fell off their chairs. "Oh no, the work pressure is too much, the editor-in-chief really has gone crazy!"

"What information?" Some people with a longer reaction time asked, still confused.

"It was a battle that could shake the entire world!"

"Wait, what's that?" A blurry, flickering image suddenly appeared in the sky above the square, causing people walking around to stop and look up.

"Huh? This seems to be the auction house in the Sabaody Archipelago. I went to that wonderful place when I was doing business back then." A sharp-eyed person casually pointed it out, drawing envious glances from the surrounding crowd.

"It looks like there are two groups facing off. Are they about to fight?"

"Standing at the door is Nightmare Roy, one of the Shichibukai. Among the five people confronting him, two are Fire Fist Ace and Demon Yorkson, both Supernovas. I don't recognize the other three, but I imagine that those who can fight alongside them are probably also Supernovas."

"A battle between five Supernovas and Shichibukai? This is truly a rare sight!"

"I wonder how the battle will end? Although Nightmare Roy, the Supernovas are not to be underestimated, especially with five of them working together. Relatively speaking, I still favor the Supernovas combination. What do you think?" Someone lowered their head, rested their chin on their hand, and pondered like a wise man.

After he finished speaking, he noticed that everyone around him was staring at him with strange looks, which made him feel uneasy. "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Just look up at the screen and you'll see," his companion said, unable to bear watching any longer.

When he looked up, he felt his blood rushing to his head, his head spinning, and he barely managed to spit out a mouthful of blood. The Supernova Alliance he had been so optimistic about had all been wiped out. He had only been thinking for a short while, had he? This change was too fast! Were these guys really Supernovas among pirates, or Supernovas among idiots?

Before he could finish his rant, he heard gasps of surprise coming from the crowd around him, which made him think with disdain, "What a fuss over nothing."

"My God!" When he looked up, he looked even worse, his mouth agape enough to fit a fist.

"It's actually Marine Admiral! That's the highest combat power of the Marine Headquarters!"

"My God, besides the Supernovas and the Shichibukai, Marine Admiral has also appeared! What on earth happened on that Xiang something island?"

Everyone realized that things were far from simple; a world-shaking event had definitely occurred on the Sabaody Archipelago. Unfortunately, the person filming was still pretending to be dead, offering no narration and daring not to approach the battle, so they couldn't hear the conversation on screen, leaving them itching to hear what was happening.

Perhaps there is darkness brewing within the navy, but for most civilians, they truly represent justice.

As the highest fighting force jointly promoted by the Marine Headquarters and the World Government, the Marine Admiral are synonymous with invincibility in the eyes of most people. The Shichibukai and the Four Emperors are all no match for the Marine Admiral.

When they saw Akainu and Roy confronting each other, everyone hurriedly covered their mouths to avoid crying out.

One thing that all the residents of the Grand Line know is that the Shichibukai belong to the World Government and are considered allies of the Marine Headquarters.

The imminent battle between the Marine Admiral and the Shichibukai suggests that the Marine Headquarters and the World Government are preparing to take action against Shichibukai. The amount of information revealed by this scene is so immense that they dare not even think about it further.

When the two clashed, everyone realized that Roy's previous battle with the Supernova Alliance was indeed not up to par.

In just a moment, the earth cracked open, and scalding magma surged and rolled out from the ground, as if to drag the entire Sabaody Archipelago into a sea of fire.

Seeing Roy repeatedly in perilous situations, almost powerless to fight back, everyone was thrilled.

After all, for most people, whether to side with the Navy or the pirates is a matter that requires no further thought.

However, when Roy pierced Akainu's left shoulder with his longsword, the entire sea fell silent. Countless people who witnessed the battle through the broadcast were stunned, as if their dreams had been shattered.

The myth of the invincible Marine Admiral was completely shattered in their minds.

In fact, many people have developed this terrifying thought, "If even the Navy's top Admiral are no match for pirates, how can the Navy protect our safety?"

The pirates who witnessed this battle were thrilled and excited. Countless newly-set pirates even regarded Roy as their idol, wishing they could fly into the scene and follow him.

Bang!

The table in front of him during the Sengoku had been shattered into pieces countless times.

Veins bulged on his forehead as he roared, "That Akainu launched an attack on the Shichibukai without a word. Does he want to completely destroy this hard-won peace? Or does he not want to be Admiral anymore and is preparing to sit in my position?"

The person conveying the message, however, keeps their eyes down, pretending they haven't heard anything.

"Alright, you can continue." Sengoku knew that getting angry at them was pointless.

"According to the latest news, it seems that Admiral Akainu being suppressed and is at a disadvantage, and has even been injured by Roy." He said cautiously, worried that Sengoku would be provoked again.

"What?" Sengoku was about to slam his fist on the table again when he realized that all that was left in front of him was a pile of wreckage. But he didn't care about that now and continued to ask, "Akainu was actually injured?"

"Yes, countless people on the high seas witnessed this scene."

Although he disliked Akainu's actions this time, Sengoku never doubted his strength. If he didn't know that Akainu insisted on Absolute Justice, he would have thought that the two were faking their fight.

He also knew that the Marine Admiral were symbols of peace, and he absolutely could not allow Akainu to show his defeat in front of the world, otherwise the Navy's credibility would be greatly diminished.

"Immediately order the news agency to stop broadcasting these images." Although Sengoku knew that doing so would only make things worse, he had no other choice.
