Going for Shochu, Choosing Fruits

The contents of the newspaper continued to ferment across the seas.

After Kaido saw the paper, he tore it to shreds.

Kaido tossed the shredded newspaper aside.

"Big Mom, it seems that lately, you haven't made improving your own strength your top priority. You keep talking about Totto Land, but that's nothing more than a fool's dream. Improving your own strength is the best way!"

Kaido muttered to himself earnestly.

But Big Mom did not hear him.

Because she and the others were recuperating in Brûlée's Mirror World.

For Big Mom, it was an excellent place.

At the same time, Kaido also remembered Zero's name.

One of the Four Emperors, Shanks.

He had also seen the newspaper.

"BIGMOM was actually defeated. Looks like the seas are about to fall into complete chaos."

Shanks sighed and put the newspaper away.

Standing on the ship, he gazed across the sea, seemingly lost in thought.

Ever since Roya defeated BIGMOM, the people of the seas had quietly begun addressing Roya as one of the Four Emperors.

Some even called him a man capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with Whitebeard.

Roya did not care about such utterly useless titles at all.

He merely took Ace to an island where he could train.

Then he put away Noah's Ark and dispelled the illusion.

Meanwhile, Roya and the others had returned to Marineford.

As soon as Roya and Kizaru returned to Marineford, they immediately went to Sengoku's office.

Sengoku had received the news long ago and knew that this Buster Call had been a resounding success.

There simply had not been any spoils of war.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?!"

With his hands clasped together, Sengoku looked at Kizaru and Roya.

Kizaru shrugged and looked at Roya beside him, feeling rather depressed.
