Ye Yu, Captain of Zero Division, Makes a Name for Himself

Ye Yu lay on his boat, unleashing his Conqueror's Haki to its fullest. Though his boat was small, empowered by Conqueror's Haki, it surged forward with tremendous force. As it sped across the sea, massive waves rose layer upon layer behind its stern!

Ye Yu did not know that, while he was chasing the Marine warship, his deeds on Robina Island had already been published!

Not long after Ye Yu left, a newsman with enormous bird wings stood on Robina Island, speaking with the head of the World Economy News Paper.

"President Morgans, I'm currently on Robina Island and have uncovered a major story," Beech, the Pigeon-Pigeon Devil Fruit user, said excitedly.

Morgans, the president of the World Economy News Paper, was drinking coffee in his company headquarters. Even after hearing Beech's report, he remained perfectly calm.

He took a sip of hot coffee from the corner of his mouth.

"Beech, how many times have I told you to stay calm when something happens? Tell me what it is. Stop beating around the bush and keep it simple."

"Reporting, President Morgans! The Blackbeard Pirates on Robina Island were completely wiped out by an unknown young man!" Beech got straight to the point.

"Pfft..." Morgans sprayed out the coffee that had just reached his mouth.

The people around him noticed their president's unusual reaction and all turned to look. For something to make their president lose his composure, it was undoubtedly another earth-shaking story!

"What did you say? Blackbeard—the man who defeated Ace, the Fire Fist and second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates?!" Morgans was utterly stunned.

As for Blackbeard, perhaps not many people across the seas knew of him yet.

But who was Morgans? He specialized in intelligence work!

His subordinates had tracked Blackbeard after he defeated Ace!

Morgans knew Blackbeard's strength very well! He was unquestionably at the level of a Seven Warlord, and one of the stronger ones at that!

And he had been defeated by a young man? Along with his entire Blackbeard Pirates?!

Beech looked rather smug. "Hahaha! President Morgans, weren't you just telling me to stay calm? Why do I feel like you're even less calm than I am?"

Morgans had no mood for jokes. He asked sternly, "Beech, you bastard, tell me right now—is it the Blackbeard who defeated Ace?"

Noticing the president's serious tone, Beech no longer dared to joke around. "Reporting, President Morgans, it was indeed that Blackbeard... Teach!"

After confirming that it was Blackbeard Teach, a glint flashed in Morgans's eyes. "Continue investigating there. I'll send people over immediately to assist with the local investigation!"

After a night of investigation, drawing on the recollections of the locals, a news report about Ye Yu was completed. Its headline was especially eye-catching: Mysterious Young Man Wipes Out Blackbeard Pirates, Suspected to Be Captain of Zero Division of the Whitebeard Pirates!

This report was personally written by Morgans, president of the World Economy News Paper, and sent all over the world early the next morning!

"Ten years ago, I received a report about this kid. At the time, the reporter told me that a child under ten possessed Conqueror's Haki comparable to Whitebeard's!"

"I didn't believe it then... but it seems I was wrong!" Morgans said, the corner of his mouth twitching.

The people around him were stunned once more. Ten years ago, Ye Yu could not have been more than ten years old?!

His Conqueror's Haki was comparable to Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world?!

Good heavens, there was too much to take in. It was beyond the limits of their understanding!

Over the seas of the New World, a news-carrying seagull flew across the ocean, dropping newspapers for its regular subscribers. In just one day, the news was distributed throughout the world in newspaper form.

At Marine Headquarters in the New World, Sengoku received the newspaper immediately. His expression instantly turned grim.

Garp, standing nearby, noticed something was off about Sengoku's expression. He walked over to Sengoku's desk and opened the newspaper Sengoku had just been reading.

There was a blurry long-distance photograph taken by local islanders. Ye Yu looked very young, while Blackbeard Teach lay beside him, covered in blood!

"Hahaha! Blackbeard got what he deserved! A despicable scum like him ought to die!" Garp showed no restraint even in front of Sengoku.

Garp had always held a grudge against that bastard Teach for capturing his adopted grandson and handing him over to the Marines!

If not for the Marine uniform representing justice on his body, Garp swore he would have beaten Blackbeard Teach to death himself!

Looking at his old friend, Sengoku could not lose his temper either. "Enough, Garp. Stop acting like a child. The one who wiped out Blackbeard may be that mysterious captain of Zero Division from the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Sengoku had long heard of the captain of Zero Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, and had even heard Whitebeard mention him personally. Yet that captain had never shown himself. At such a critical moment, someone had appeared and wiped out the Blackbeard Pirates. Looking at it now, this report was highly credible!

"For him to kill Teach, who had just become a Seven Warlord, this young man's strength speaks for itself! He may even possess Admiral-level strength!" Sengoku said gravely.

Facing a formidable enemy like Whitebeard, Sengoku had already been under enormous pressure. Yet now, another captain of Zero Division had appeared, reducing the Marines' odds of victory under Sengoku's command by another measure!

Sengoku rubbed his temples, his face full of worry. "I really don't understand what young people these days are thinking. Such a promising talent, yet instead of becoming a Marine, he chose to become a pirate!"

Those words made Garp think of his two grandsons, and his heart ached as well. With a dark expression, he left the Fleet Admiral's office.

"Garp, you bastard, remember where you stand! You're a Marine! The Marines can't afford any more trouble now!" Sengoku roared after him.

Garp stopped in his tracks, then clenched his fists. "I know! If not for this Marine uniform, I would have already leveled Impel Down!"

After Garp left, Sengoku let out a long breath.

He looked once more at Ye Yu's photograph on the desk, his brows tightly furrowed.

"Captain of Zero Division... it seems a small meeting is necessary. The Whitebeard Pirates are even stronger than we imagined!"
