Sea Circle Calendar, Year 1523
This was a year the sea would remember. On December 12, 1523, the One Piece left behind by the previous King of the Pirates, Gol D. Roger, was found! In other words, a new King of the Pirates had been born! That man's name was Marshall D. Teach!
On the 19th of the same month, the great pirate Golden Lion Slash Shiki publicly revealed the truth of the Void Century that the World Government had deliberately concealed! And that day was today!
Crescent Moon Island was exceptionally lively today. Every Sea Emperor of the Pirate Alliance had gathered here, and the so-called Worst Generation, the so-called Supernovas, and the infamous great pirates of the seas had all arrived as though by prior arrangement! It was no exaggeration to say that if you threw ten stones and hit ten pirates, seven would have bounties in the tens of millions, two would have bounties exceeding a hundred million, and one would have a bounty close to five hundred million!
The other guests were naturally magnates of gray-market businesses, partners with commercial ties to the Pirate Alliance, and a huge group of reporters led by the underground king, the "News King" Morgans! It was no exaggeration to say that Crescent Moon Island had gathered eighty percent of this world's criminal forces!
Yet these magnates, normally so unruly and arrogant, were unusually docile today!
After all, no one wanted to experience the Pirate Alliance's tenderness...
But today's main character had clearly yet to appear!
The reporters who came here intended to report on the truth of the world Golden Lion Slash was about to reveal! As for the gray-market magnates, they wanted to obtain information from the Pirate Alliance so they could make sensible arrangements for their future businesses
