The World Trembles! Madman Lin Ye

Seven days had shaken the entire sea.

Morgans seized this huge story and dispatched countless News Coos toward Wano Country. Some fearless ones even charged straight into the battlefield, all for firsthand reports.

Countless News Coos died after being caught in the battle's aftermath, yet Morgans did not feel the slightest bit of heartache.

This was a real headline.

Kaido, a tyrant who ruled over one region of the Grand Line, was a major figure with a bounty of 2.39 billion Beli.

Was a battle lasting this long against such a major figure big enough news?

The newspaper sales were enough to answer that.

It had not been too obvious during the first two days, but as reports on the battle continued, newspaper sales skyrocketed.

This was truly a headline capable of shaking the seas.

Then, on the seventh day, a fearless News Coo finally broke in and, relying on the Camera Transponder Snail strapped to its chest, brought back a photograph clearer than all the others.

Getting close enough to take a picture on a battlefield where Conqueror's Haki was clashing, then successfully bringing it back out, was no easy feat.

This photograph was immensely valuable.

At the headquarters of the World Economy News Paper.

Morgans, in his birdman form, stared at the faxed photograph, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

He knew very well that the photograph was genuine.

After all, it had never changed hands from start to finish, so its authenticity was highly reliable.

In the photograph, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky as two figures collided in midair.

One figure held a spiked club, had two horns on his head—one of them broken—and possessed a towering, muscular build. A powerful dragon tail swayed behind him.

Kaido!

Though one of his horns was broken, Morgans still recognized Kaido at once.

But the figure whose fist was striking Kaido's spiked club...

Compared to Kaido, this figure was very short.

Morgans knew Kaido well. With a little estimation, he could determine this figure's approximate height.

Yet the aura emanating from the photograph showed that this person was not weaker than Kaido in the slightest. He even seemed to faintly overpower Kaido.

The photograph did not capture the man's full face, but half of his profile revealed that he was not very old.

Morgans stared wide-eyed, knowing that what came next would absolutely shock the world.

A newcomer.

A powerful newcomer who could match a New World powerhouse like Kaido had appeared just like that.

This was undoubtedly a true headline that would shake the seas.

One could imagine it: another major figure capable of shaking the world had emerged.

But that silhouette looked somewhat familiar.

Morgans used his incredibly nimble wing to stroke his beak, his gaze filled with confusion.

"President, the Moria Pirates!"

A young human woman in uniform beside him offered a reminder. Morgans froze, then his eyes widened again, as though they were about to burst from their sockets.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Like a madman, Morgans rummaged through the pile of documents on the desk before him, throwing them into disorder.

When he had learned of the disappearance on the first day, he had pulled up the intelligence on the Moria Pirates, with their bounties naturally being the main focus.

After all, with so many pirates aboard a single ship, bounty posters would be issued for any pirate with considerable strength.

As for the other cannon-fodder pirates, once their identities were confirmed, one could collect the reward without needing bounty posters at all.

As a pirate crew that had gained immense fame over the past year, the Moria Pirates naturally had quite a few members with bounty posters.

But only two of them were worth noting.

One was the captain, Gecko Moria, with a bounty of 300 million.

The other was a youth—or rather, a child—who had only appeared on Gecko Moria's ship within the past year.

In a single year, his bounty had risen to 87 million. On the Grand Line, or even in the New World, that was not particularly high.

But he looked very young.

In other words, in the eyes of the Marines and Morgans, it meant he had enormous potential to become a great pirate of the seas.

Morgans's wings trembled as he clutched a bounty poster. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly at the person on it.

Madman Lin Ye. Bounty: 87 million Beli. Dead or alive.

The attached picture showed a cold-faced youth holding a blade.

Morgans swallowed and placed the bounty poster beside the photograph he had just received, his eyes shifting back and forth between them.

The next moment, Morgans felt an electric current rise from the feathers on his backside, race through his body, and surge straight to the top of his head.

Every feather on his body stood on end.

It was him! It was definitely him!

Madman Lin Ye!

Morgans stared intently at the bounty poster and the photograph.

They were indeed the same person.

But an 87-million bounty?

In a daze, Morgans felt that the entire world was one enormous amateur farce.

This was too absurd.

A minor pirate with a Marine bounty under 100 million had fought Kaido, whose bounty exceeded 2 billion, for seven days without losing an inch in terms of presence.

What on earth were the Marines doing?

But after privately criticizing the Marines, Morgans also found it strange.

If he was this strong, why had there been no news about him before?

Morgans's eyes were full of incomprehension.

This matter truly went beyond his understanding.

And then there was his age.

This Lin Ye was only a little over ten years old now, at most, wasn't he?

He could not be older than fifteen.

A Monster!

This was a true Monster!

The Monsters from before were not even worthy of being mentioned alongside those words in front of him.

"President!"

The cautious reminder from his alluring secretary jolted Morgans awake.

"Yes, yes, yes! Huge news, huge news!"

Morgans suddenly came to his senses and remembered what he needed to do.

"Quickly, notify every branch to prepare the presses at once. I will write it personally. Today's issue will be a special report."

Morgans suddenly became high-spirited.

He could already imagine the kind of shock his report would bring to the world once it was published.

The thought alone filled Morgans with excitement.

Before long, every newspaper office under the World Economy News Paper across the world put down their work. Today, they had only one task: distribute a special report personally written by their president throughout the entire world.

Countless News Coos, carrying bulging parcels, spread their wings and flew into the sky.

Newspapers rained down upon islands and ships across the seas.

Whether they were island residents or people aboard ships, pirates or Marines, everyone who received a newspaper was left dumbfounded by its contents.

Over the past few days, the battle in Wano Country had nearly spread across the entire sea.

In fact, many people had been waiting for the follow-up reports.

Even ordinary people who had never gone to sea knew about an event of this scale.

The only regret was that no one knew the identity of the powerful figure who had fought Kaido, one of the tyrants of the Grand Line.

As for Gecko Moria, no one was speculating about him anymore.

Because someone had already discovered Thriller Bark fleeing from Wano Country.

And that ship was empty.

Some even guessed that, even after the battle ended, the identity of the other side would never be discovered.

After all, no one dared approach the area now.

Those who were not strong enough would be killed by the battle's aftermath even if they got close.

Yet unexpectedly, there was finally an answer on the seventh day.
