The Perfect Ending to the Yonko Era!
Sphinx Island, Marine Base.
Whether they were on guard duty, training, or eating in the mess hall, all the naval soldiers rushed out and assembled into square formations on the drill ground.
Everyone's face was etched with shock.
Their eyes were fixed on the direction of the cherry blossom grove, their palms sweating as they gripped their rifles.
The tremor we just felt was definitely not an earthquake, but rather Whitebeard using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power while stationed in the cherry blossom grove!
Of course, they wouldn't pay much attention to the tremors of the earth, because Whitebeard had been surrounded by a group of children recently, and he would occasionally use his Tremor-Tremor Devil Fruit ability to help the children clear wasteland.
Their tension stemmed from the terrifying, ear-piercing bang that seemed to tear a hole in the sky itself.
To be precise, it wasn't just a feeling; the sky really did crack open.
A massive crack stretched across the sky, splitting the azure firmament in two, and it remained unhealed for a long time.
What terrifying power that was!
"What is Whitebeard doing? He actually cracked the sky!" A young soldier's lips trembled, and his voice changed.
The veteran beside him swallowed hard, his face turning pale. "Is he going to destroy this island?"
Standing at the very front of the group was Colonel Leo, the highest-ranking officer of the Sphinx Marine Base.
Although the incident happened suddenly, he did not panic, and his gaze swept towards the cherry blossom grove like that of a hawk.
The commotion just now was clearly not the work of Whitebeard alone; someone was exchanging Whitebeard with him!
Could it be--
Your Lord Marshal!
The Lord Marshal has arrived at the Sphinx!
Thinking of this, Colonel Leo's eyes instantly turned fervent, and then he turned to the soldiers gathered on the parade ground, excitedly shouting, "Everyone, get your spirits up!"
"It's Lord Marshal Akira! He has Marshal come to the Sphinx!"
"Everyone has one!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly drew his command sword from his waist, the tip pointing forward directly towards the cherry blossom grove.
"Follow me to Whitebeard's camp to greet the Lord Marshal!"
at the same time.
High above the New World, a giant albatross was speeding toward Sphinx Island at top speed.
The wind howled in his ears, but it did nothing to dampen his heart, which was burning with such fervor it felt like it was about to explode.
News King, Morgans!
He was at the headquarters of the World Economy News Paper in Wano Country, leisurely directing the publication of global news while sipping fine black tea.
When news broke that the Red Hair Pirates had surrendered en masse and that Shanks himself had been escorted to Marineford by the Knights of God, he was so excited he almost threw money around to reward the reporters on the front lines. The reason was simple: although his World Economy News Paper was now under the Marine Headquarters, he still received a cut of every newspaper sold. Such a major event as the Red Hair Pirates' surrender was enough to make him a fortune!
However, before his excitement had subsided, an order from Colonel Morgan, the Marshal's personal guard, made him jump up from his chair.
The command is very simple, consisting of only one sentence.
"President Morgans, the Lord Marshal has ordered you to proceed to Sphinx Island immediately at the fastest speed."
Who is Morgans?
They are the masters of manipulating news and public opinion!
The instant he received the order, he guessed what was about to happen on Sphinx Island!
Shanks has surrendered, Kaido of the Beasts and Big Mom are gone, leaving only Whitebeard among the Yonko!
What else could it be for, Lord Marshal to visit the Sphinx?
Of course, it's to draw the final, and most magnificent, conclusion to this magnificent era of the Yonko!
"Hahaha! Big News Morgans! This is the real Big News Morgans!"
During the high-speed flight, Morgans couldn't help but let out his signature maniacal laughter.
The outline of Sphinx Island is already faintly visible on the horizon.
Just then, his special Visual Den Den Mushi) suddenly rang.
"Bru bru bru..."
A subordinate's cautious voice came through the Den Den Mushi: "Lord Morgans, why are we rushing to Sphinx Island? We haven't finished the Red Hair Pirates ' feature yet."
Morgans flapped his wings, increasing his speed once more. Looking at the island growing clearer ahead, he spoke in an almost aria-like tone, "Fool! What else could it be?!"
"Of course, we'll broadcast it live! We'll broadcast live how the ' World's Strongest Man,' who has reigned at the top of the world for decades, will face his final curtain call before our Lord Marshal!"
"Redhead's surrender was just the appetizer! This is the real main course!"
Before he could finish speaking, Morgans abruptly folded his wings, his entire body swooping down like a white meteorite toward the Marine Base training ground below!
Boom!
With a loud bang, Morgans landed steadily in the center of the training ground. The huge impact created a gust of wind that sent the surrounding soldiers staggering.
Colonel Leo and his men, who had just finished lining up and were about to set off, were startled by this sudden scene, and all the soldiers instinctively raised their guns.
"Who goes there!" Colonel Leo shouted, then paused, taken aback when he saw who it was. "Morgans?"
Morgans straightened his wind-blown top hat and walked unhurriedly to Colonel Leo.
He glanced at the heavily armed and alert navy men, and calmly said, "Colonel Leo, I advise you to have your men put down their guns."
"What you need to do now is not to take these fire sticks and run off to cause trouble for the Lord Marshal."
Colonel Leo frowned. "President Morgans, what do you mean by this? We are ordered to guard this place, and it is our duty to greet the Lord Marshal in person!"
"Meet?"
Morgans held up a finger and shook it. "No, no, no. Colonel Leo, that's too narrow-minded! Does the Lord Marshal need a welcome? He needs the world's attention! He needs witnesses!"
Morgans spread his arms wide, his expression exaggerated and fanatical. "The Lord Marshal is undertaking a monumental feat that will change the world! He is going to bury an old era with his own hands! What a pity it would be if the whole world couldn't witness such a historic moment!"
Upon hearing this, Colonel Leo's lips twitched slightly. Although Morgans' words made sense, Morgans ' reaction was just too childish, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
After making a big announcement, Morgans coughed twice and walked over to Leo, then said seriously, "Take all the Visual Den Den Mushi from your base and, together with my men, immediately begin preparing for another round of global live broadcasts!"
"This is what you need to do right now!"
