Explosive Headline: Uchiha Kei's Susanoo Appears, One Sword Decides Victory
Jack the Drought, one of the Three Disasters of the Beasts Pirates, suffers a crushing defeat and goes missing; the new generation of the Uchiha overturns the battle for Coral Port!
The subtitle that followed was straightforward and explosive: Uchiha Kei Susanoo in the world, one sword decides the outcome, Jack the Drought's fate is unknown.
As the first rays of dawn pierce the horizon, News Coo take flight, carrying newspapers in their beaks to every corner of the Four Blues, spreading this momentous news to every sea and every island.
On the deck of a merchant ship on the Grand Line, a group of pirates huddled together, scrambling to read the newspaper.
A series of gasps of surprise rang out; no one wanted to believe their eyes.
How could Jack the Drought who roams the New World, be defeated by a group of greenhorn teenagers?
Someone pointed to the words "Susanoo" on the signboard, instantly realizing what was happening, and whispered a reminder to those around them: This is Uchiha Kei's signature ability. During the Summit War, it was he who personally killed Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Onigumo!
Pirate ships in the New World gradually received the newspapers, and the previous commotion faded away, leaving only a deathly silence.
All the captains clutched their newspapers, their faces grave, remaining silent for a long time.
Most of them, even if they exhausted their entire lives' cultivation, might not be able to withstand a Isshiki from Jack.
But now, this high-ranking Beasts Pirates has been easily defeated by the new generation of the Uchiha.
What's even more chilling is that Uchiha Kei wasn't even considered a top-tier fighter in the clan; Uchiha Natsu, who truly revolutionized the Marineford War, is still in hiding and has never appeared in the world.
The crowd belatedly realized a cruel truth: the Uchiha were never a leisurely clan that stayed in the West Blue and engaged in petty squabbles; they were truly stepping onto the battlefield of the New World, preparing to disrupt the order of this sea.
Throughout the entire ocean, news travels fastest on Onigashima.
The Beasts Pirates ' intelligence network spans every corner of the New World, but this time, Morgans ' News Coo beat them to the punch by the pirate intelligence ship.
When the newspaper was handed to Kaido, the magnificent Skull Hall was instantly engulfed by a furious roar.
The entire hall trembled violently, dust fell from the beams and pillars, and the oppressive aura was so terrifying that no one present dared to look up.
Why did Jack show up in Coral Port without permission?!
Kaido gripped the newspaper tightly, his knuckles turning white, and glared angrily at King in the shadows. "I clearly ordered him to hold Wano Country and await further orders!"
Jin Jing stood silently in the shadows of the hall.
Jack's unauthorized departure from the defense zone and his unauthorized actions were commonplace. In the past, at most, they would cause trouble and were harmless. But this time, he recklessly ventured into unfamiliar waters and ran into the most dangerous opponent.
Further words are pointless; the outcome is already predetermined.
"Should we immediately mobilize manpower to carry out retaliatory purges against the Uchiha?" Jin asked in a deep voice.
Kaido remained silent for a long time, his overwhelming anger slowly subsiding and finally being suppressed deep within his heart.
He slumped back onto the massive throne, grabbed a wine jar beside him, and gulped down a large mouthful of strong liquor before speaking in a chillingly somber tone.
"First, thoroughly investigate the entire incident."
"I need all the information on that Uchiha new generation squad. Who is leading them? How many are there? What is their combat strength? Find out all their hidden trump cards and backup forces."
He paused, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes, and added a shushing order for the entire room to fall silent.
"Until we have gathered sufficient intelligence, everyone must remain still and no one is allowed to provoke the Uchiha Clan."
This restrained command is far more suffocating than a furious order to conquer.
Jin bowed slightly to accept the order, and as he turned to leave the hall, he knew perfectly well what was going on.
The reason why the enraged and warlike Kaido could forcibly suppress his vengeful rage and choose to endure and observe was due to only one person from beginning to end.
Uchiha Natsu.
The boy who cleaved Marineford in two during the Marineford Summit War and rewrote the course of the battle has been silent for over a year, his whereabouts shrouded in mystery, his true nature unknown.
On this vast, ever-fighting sea, the most terrifying enemies are never the ones in the open, but rather the unknown ones lurking in the shadows.
The Sweet City always maintains a sweet, soft, and dreamy appearance.
Layers of cotton candy clouds float in the air, and the air is filled with the aroma of cream and honey all year round, creating a soft and gentle landscape throughout the city.
But the intelligence room, buried deep beneath the castle, presents a completely different picture.
There was not a trace of sweetness here. Countless encrypted radio transmitters hummed incessantly day and night. Piles of Four Blues charts weighed down thick stacks of classified files. The cold, hard smell of ink and paper filled the entire room, creating a tense and solemn atmosphere of espionage.
Charlotte Linlin sat upright in her own giant chair, her enormous body filling the chair completely.
She gripped the front page of the newly delivered World News between her fingertips. Her eyes, which usually only restrained their rage when they saw the most exquisite sweets, were now fixed intently on the headline, unblinking.
Jack has gone missing.
Those four simple words made the air in the entire intelligence room seem to freeze.
Katakuri stood quietly beside her, his thick scarf obscuring most of his face, revealing no emotion whatsoever. Only the knuckles of his fingers, gripping the trident, were pale and bluish, and his fingertips were clenched tighter than usual.
He handed the newspaper to him personally.
Before delivering it to his mother, he had already mentally rehearsed more than a dozen possible outcomes, including the worst and most outrageous possibilities.
But the result written in black and white in the newspaper was still the one he least wanted to see— Uchiha Kei activated his Semi-Complete Susanoo Jack the Drought in two with a single sword strike.
"This Uchiha Kei..."
Linlin suddenly raised her hand and slammed the thick newspaper heavily on the table. The crisp sound of the impact made the enamel teacup on the table bounce violently, and the tea rippled outwards.
She looked up at Katakuri, her crimson pupils devoid of their usual hysterical mania, replaced by an extremely rare emotion.
It is fear. A real, heavy fear.
She was not absent from the Summit War; she had met Uchiha Kei at that time.
But the brilliance of that battle was so intense that the eyes of the entire world were fixed on Uchiha Natsu.
A monster that appears out of nowhere and overturns the course of the war is enough to overshadow everyone else's brilliance.
The Uchiha members following behind him were, in the eyes of the entire ocean, nothing more than insignificant supporting characters.
What resounded Four Blues at that time was Natsu's enormous bounty of 15 billion, and his unparalleled, heaven-defying combat power.
Who would pay special attention to the silent, composed middle-aged man beside him?
Yet this former "supporting character" single-handedly cleaved the Beasts Pirates' Three Disasters off the battlefield and disappeared with a single sword strike.
