God Slayer's Number One Fan

Just one day later, Rob Lucci finally understood the meaning behind the look that Oboro gave Dom!

The following day, large numbers of newsbirds flew to all parts of the world.

The members of the Hell Pirates were also as if they had been injected with adrenaline... The whole world was in an uproar!

Because... the captain of the Hell Pirates, the Hell King, is the long-lost God Slayer.

The apprentice crew members of the Hell Pirates were initially terrified after learning Oboro's identity... but then an even more intense 'passion' erupted from them. The fear stemmed from the fact that becoming God Slayer meant facing a devastating blow! The difficulty of surviving on the high seas was unimaginable... However, they had gained power, and now Morgans from the news agency was raving about the Hell Pirates in the newspapers, especially their captain, and even the birdman claimed to be the number one fan of God Slayer.

This led to an unimaginable surge in popularity for the Hell Pirates.

Power and fame are what One Piece dream of! Moreover, their 'rampant tyranny' in the North Blue has fueled their arrogance, to the point that almost no one can maintain a 'calm mind'... Years of One Piece life have shaped their character, making them willing to walk on the edge of danger.

So... the Hell Pirates' morale wasn't shaken; instead, they became... even more arrogant and conceited.

The crew members were well aware of Oboro's strength... The title "God Slayer" carried a similar weight in public opinion on the high seas as the Yonko, though in the eyes of outsiders, their actual strength was still 'vastly different'. But in terms of fame, he was undoubtedly a key figure who stirred up the world's affairs.

Getting on his ship was dangerous... but also a rare opportunity.

If they can break through the navy's encirclement this time... their future will be bright.

The Hell Pirates have become connected with the God Slayer.

The sensational nature of this "explosive revelation" is unimaginable... The Hell Pirates were already the most sought-after "emerging force" in the North Blue, and even some of the giants of the Grand Line were taking a wait-and-see attitude, wanting to see if the Hell Pirates could successfully enter the Grand Line. Unexpectedly, they have now "added fuel" to this matter.

This brings the world's attention to the area, making it even more interesting.

The government and navy had anticipated Oboro's self-destruction... so they remained remarkably calm.

Rob Lucci didn't seem too surprised.

Day after day... more and more ships came to 'observe' the Hell Pirates on the sea, but none of them dared to get close.

The Hell Pirates showed no signs of setting off.

We clearly agreed that we would only be staying for a few days.

But Oboro, as the captain, never gave the order.

This aroused Rob Lucci's suspicions; he wondered what Oboro was up to.

Could it be... that he's scared?

The Hell Pirates' stagnation has led to various rumors circulating outside...

But soon, Oboro's answer to this question was 'made public'.

The reason was simple: information and intelligence about the Hell Pirates were no secret in the North Blue... completely different from the mystery God Slayer. He could grant people divine power, making individuals stronger... This method quickly made it into newspapers through the World News Agency... The newspapers even featured numerous frontal photos of the Hell Pirates members, their unique appearances, impressive physiques, and so on, all meticulously revealed by Morgans.

Judging from the text and content of the newspaper, a discerning reader might notice that Morgans seemed to have known all along that the Hell Pirates were founded by God Slayer. He described the Hell Pirates in the North Blue in such vivid detail that it was as if he had personally experienced them. Furthermore, his fanatical attitude towards God Slayer was unreserved... he even openly declared his utmost admiration for Oboro, calling God Slayer "great man" who created a turning point in the Great Pirate Era and the One Piece who constructed the "New World Order."

His future achievements and status will certainly surpass Roger's.

In short... judging from the feeling conveyed by his writing, someone who didn't know better might think he was God Slayer.

Morgans chose a very clever time to drop this bombshell.

Morgans' understanding of the Hell Pirates was naturally not that comprehensive. He did notice some clues, but the content published in the newspaper was actually a leak that Dom had Dom deliberately spread. Given Morgans's position in the media, it's safe to say that he has direct or indirect connections with any newspaper in the world, which is what makes him truly terrifying.

The news agency's penetration into the industry was so strong that even Oboro, who had lived several lifetimes, had to admire it.

The direct consequence of his revealing his abilities was that countless forces across the ocean were mobilized.

Come to the starting point of the Grand Line!

A means to make people stronger and evolve...

This ability is coveted not only by the World Government, but by any ambitious individual!

Because... this is a power that can overturn the ocean!

"This person... the government's analysis of him is absolutely correct."

"Horrible."

On the deck, when Rob Lucci held the latest newspaper in his hand and saw its contents, his expression changed slightly.

In just a few days, the newsbirds have been flying by so frequently that newspapers are probably being scattered across the entire ocean like snowflakes, and this is happening continuously.

He couldn't help but turn around and look at the figure not far away, smiling, standing in front of the railing, enjoying the sea breeze.

His expression darkened involuntarily.

This man... knows how to maximize his strengths.

They also know what abilities they possess.

Their mental fortitude is truly frightening.

Morgans mobilized the news agency's capabilities to promote and assist the Hell Pirates, not only because of the words "God Slayer," but also because the mere presence of "this man" and the impending great battle could make media outlets around the world incredibly wealthy. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Oboro alone temporarily "supported" the entire news industry.

At the same time, it has implicitly enhanced the importance and status of the media, a power that has long been overlooked by the world!

Although Morgans' feelings for Oboro were strongly influenced by personal emotions, ultimately, it was a 'deal' between the two of them.

Cooperation and mutual benefit.

The problem is... these two people never even met.

"Let's set off tonight."

At that moment, Oboro suddenly turned his head and said something to the people on the deck.

"Yes!"

With a loud shout, Dorans yelled at the One Piece below, "Prepare for battle! Everyone, get ready!!!"

"Oh!!!"

In an instant, the One Piece roared and began to 'rub their fists together'.

"This is troublesome."

Rob Lucci snapped out of his reverie, took a deep breath, and glanced down at the newspaper, pondering to himself.

They anticipated that the God Slayer would self-destruct to create 'public pressure,' but they didn't expect... this to happen.
