At that moment, Ye Yu lay on his boat and unleashed his Conqueror's Haki at full force. Though his little boat was small, it surged forward with tremendous power under the enhancement of his Haki. As it sped across the sea, enormous waves rose layer upon layer behind its stern!
Ye Yu did not know that, as he chased after the Marine warship, his deeds on Robina Island had already been published!
Not long after Ye Yu left, a newspaperman with enormous bird wings on Robina Island was speaking with the head of the World Economy News Paper.
"President Morgans, I'm currently on Robina Island, and I've uncovered major news." Beech, a carrier pigeon Devil Fruit user, said excitedly.
At that moment, Morgans, the president of the World Economy News Paper, was drinking coffee in his company. Even after hearing Beech's report, he remained calm.
He took a sip of hot coffee from the corner of his mouth.
"Beech, how many times have I told you? Stay calm when something happens. Tell me about it. Stop beating around the bush and keep it simple."
"Reporting to President Morgans, the Blackbeard Pirates were completely wiped out on Robina Island by an unknown youngster!" 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. If something could make their president lose his composure, it was undoubtedly another earth-shattering scoop!
"What did you say? That Blackbeard who defeated Fire Fist Ace, the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division Commander?!" Morgans looked utterly shocked.
Perhaps not many people on these seas knew about Blackbeard yet.
But who was he? He specialized in intelligence!
His subordinates had tracked Blackbeard when he defeated Ace!
Morgans knew Blackbeard's strength very well! He was unquestionably at Shichibukai level, and among the stronger ones at that!
And he had been defeated by a young man? Along with the entire Blackbeard Pirates?!
Beech looked smug on the other end. "Hahaha! President Morgans, you were just telling me to stay calm. Why do I feel like you're even less calm than I am?"
Morgans was in no mood to joke. He asked sternly, "Beech, you bastard, tell me right now. Was it the Blackbeard who defeated Ace?"
Noticing the president's seriousness, Beech no longer dared to joke around. "Reporting to 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 immediately send people to assist with the local investigation!"
After a night of investigation and accounts from 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 Whitebeard Pirates' Zero Division Commander!
This news 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 brat. The reporter told me that a child under ten had 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 shocked again. Ten years ago, Ye Yu could not have been more than ten years old?!
Conqueror's Haki comparable to Whitebeard, the world's strongest man?!
Good heavens, there was too much information for them to process!
On the seas of the New World, a news gull flew over the ocean, dropping newspapers for its regular subscribers. In just one day, the news had been distributed across the world in newspaper form.
In the New World, at Marine Headquarters, Sengoku received the newspaper immediately and instantly became deeply troubled.
Garp, standing nearby, noticed that Sengoku's expression was unusual. He walked over to Sengoku's desk and opened the newspaper Sengoku had just been reading.
The page showed a blurry long-distance photograph of Ye Yu taken by local island residents. He looked very young, while Blackbeard Teach lay nearby, covered in blood!
"Hahaha! Blackbeard got what he deserved! A despicable bastard like him should die!" Garp showed no restraint even in front of Sengoku.
Garp had always held a grudge against that bastard Blackbeard Teach for capturing his adopted grandson and handing him over to the Marines!
If he had not been wearing the Marine uniform that represented justice, 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 have been the Whitebeard Pirates' mysterious Zero Division Commander!"
He had long heard of the Whitebeard Pirates' Zero Division Commander, and had even heard Whitebeard mention him personally. But that Zero Division Commander had never shown himself. At such a critical time, someone had appeared and wiped out the Blackbeard Pirates. Now, this news seemed highly credible!
"To kill Teach, who had just become a Shichibukai, this young man's strength is obvious! He may even possess Admiral-level power!" Sengoku said gravely.
Sengoku had already been under immense pressure facing the powerful enemy Whitebeard. Yet now, another Zero Division Commander had emerged, lowering the chances of victory for the Marines under Sengoku's command by another measure!
Sengoku massaged his temples, his face filled with worry. "I truly don't understand what young people these days are thinking. Such promising talent, yet instead of becoming a Marine, he goes and becomes a pirate!"
Hearing this, Garp could not help thinking of his two grandsons. His heart ached, and he left the Fleet Admiral's office with a dark expression.
"Garp, you bastard, remember your position! You are a Marine! The Marines cannot afford any more trouble now!" Sengoku roared at Garp.
Garp stopped, then clenched his fists. "I know! If it weren't for this Marine uniform, I would have leveled Impel Down long ago!"
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.
"Zero Division Commander... It seems a small meeting is necessary. The Whitebeard Pirates are even stronger than we imagined!"
