It wasn't long before a rumor gradually spread online: six Fat Girl honeycomb formations were conducting exercises around the Pacific Ocean. The news sparked heated discussion among netizens.
Nobody knew whether it was true. The original poster's photos were too blurry. Everyone could tell they looked like Fat Girl honeycomb formations, but no one could be sure how many formations there were.
But after that day, the Rogue Organization suddenly declared a ceasefire with the Polar Bear, which led people to suspect the rumor was true.
The Rogue Organization gave a perfectly reasonable explanation for the ceasefire: the three spikes on the Polar Bear's back hadn't officially joined the organization yet, so there was no reason to sacrifice the Rogue Organization's interests for someone unrelated to them. And so, they signed a ceasefire agreement with the Polar Bear.
But anyone with eyes could see that the Rogues wouldn't normally be so accommodating.

The Polar Bear hadn't wanted to fight in the first place. They'd only used the opportunity to pull out three spikes. Of course, maybe they simply couldn't win. Now that they'd achieved their goal, only a fool would keep fighting.
Even more astonishingly, not long after the two sides reached a ceasefire, the Rogue Organization invited the Polar Bear to join them. Everyone was stunned.
The Polar Bear hesitated briefly, then agreed. After all, joining had long been their country's dream: to become part of Western society.
