A few days later, a newspaper proclaiming victory spread across the entire sea.
This was a great victory for the Marines—and even more so for the World Government!
The Revolutionary Army, the only organization in the entire sea openly rebelling against the World Government, had been utterly crushed. All the territory it had painstakingly seized in Wano Country after lying low for more than a decade had been lost, forcing it to flee in disgrace like a stray dog once more.
There was no doubt that, in the eyes of the Gorosei and the World Government, this would greatly intimidate the rebels across the sea who harbored discontent toward the World Government, while also greatly enhancing the World Government's prestige.
The only thing that displeased the World Government somewhat was that, after the Revolutionary Army had been driven out, Yamato, one of the Shichibukai, had almost impatiently demanded that all World Government personnel stationed within Wano Country leave, thereby declaring her sovereignty over Wano Country.
Although the Gorosei were somewhat displeased by Yamato's lack of tact, they had previously publicly declared Wano Country's independence and Yamato's status, so they could only agree helplessly.
Of course, according to the agreement reached by both sides earlier, the Marines' G-9 Branch would remain.
However, with the Revolutionary Army defeated, combined with the harsh and unique climate surrounding Wano Country, the importance of the G-9 Branch had been greatly reduced. Apart from serving as a nail driven into the waters of the New World, its only remaining function was to serve as a port for the World Government's Seastone trade with Wano Country.
As for the protagonist of this war, Hero of the Marines Teffimoe Yaen, he had become utterly unrivaled in fame across the sea for a time!
With such dazzling achievements as
