The World in Turmoil! The Blackbeard Pirates' Eleventh Crew Member

No one knew which blabbermouth had spread the news, or whether Golden Lion had done it deliberately, but word that Blackbeard had obtained four Poneglyphs, successfully deciphered them, and learned the location of the final island—and that they were now heading there to claim the great treasure, One Piece—swept across the seas like a plague of locusts! Everyone was shocked by it.

"Hey, did you hear? That Sea Emperor, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach, has already found the final island! He's about to obtain One Piece and become the legendary King of the Pirates!"

"What?! After all these years, someone is finally going to obtain the ultimate treasure? Blackbeard really is a terrifying man!"

"Who knows what the final treasure even contains? Sigh, is the Great Pirate Era really going to end like this? Well, that's fine! My little brother can finally come home!"

Some were shocked, some were jealous, and some felt relieved—some even thanked Blackbeard for bringing this chaotic Great Pirate Era to an end!
