News Coo after News Coo flew overhead, dropping stacks of paper.
It was all free.
The widespread distribution immediately drew everyone's attention.
"What's this?"
"A newspaper?"
"Newspapers aren't free. They cost 100 Berries. This one's free?"

"Want to become strong?"
"Want to rule your own destiny?"
"Want to stand against every injustice?"
"Then cultivate!"
"I, Gaia Chaos, This Emperor, the Golden Emperor and boss of the Richest Group, will open a path for billions of people to take control of their own destinies. Whether you're an ordinary person or a beggar, a slave or a commoner, rise up and fight back!"
"Gain strength, and resist every form of oppression and injustice."
"The Cultivation Era begins with me, Gaia Chaos, the Golden Emperor."
"World, let the celebration begin!"
Slaves hiding here and there read the headline, then the recorded Six Powers and the cultivation methods and explanations of the two types of Haki. Their eyes filled with tears
