The Reporter

One moment it's warm spring, the next it's cold winter—the leap is so drastic it makes one wonder...

This must not have been formed naturally; rather, it must have been created by God to create such a bizarre yet balanced scene.

In stark contrast to Kuta and his group was Bada's group, who entered Winter Island without their previous caution.

Instead, they became more energetic and excited.

They gave the impression not of entering a desolate winter, but rather of entering a hopeful spring.

The light in their eyes was different now.

Sensing the change in Bada and his group, Kuta and the others didn't ask anything. Instead, they tightened their coats and followed Bada, trudging through the thick snow, quickly heading deeper into the Winter Island.

On this silent Winter Island, where everything was still, only the sound of their footsteps filled the air, giving them a sense of adventure.

As the group ventured deeper and climbed over a small hill, a breathtaking view suddenly opened up before them.

Looking at the empty plain before them, everyone's gaze turned to Bada.

A red light flashed in Kuta's eyes, but he detected no aura.

He turned to stare at Bada and laughed, "Bada, you didn't bring us here to have a banquet and eat snow mountain hotpot, did you?"

"Huh! They even have something like snow mountain hot pot?"

Ahua was taken aback for a moment, then pushed up his glasses and exclaimed excitedly, "How come I didn't think of that! Endless snow is the best refrigerator and water!"

"Eating hot pot in the snow would be amazing!"

"Oh..."

A-Luo had his left hand in his pocket and his right hand smoothing his hair; the wind was a bit strong, messing up his punk hairstyle.

"No Bada you guys are looking for so much food!"

"So you're here for a snow mountain banquet!"

"Ha ha ha ha..."

"That's a great idea!"

A-Tao took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it, took a deep drag, and looked at the two excited people.

"What an idiot."

Anyone with eyes could see that Kuta was joking, only these two guys took it seriously.

He then turned his head to one side, looking at the plain before him with a puzzled expression.

This place doesn't look like a place where people could hide at all!

He remembered that Kuta had sent Bada to meet the remaining people of the Bass Kingdom!

"Big brother, just come along."

Bada ignored Ahua and his companion, who were excited about eating snow mountain hotpot, and instead walked to a protruding rock and stopped.

"Is the boss really going to take them in?"

One of the underlings looked at Bada and couldn't help but step forward.

Bu said loudly.

Although Kuta and his group did not show any malice, they even allowed them to take so much food and money.

But they're Pirates!

Moreover, he's Sea with a bounty exceeding 500 million.

By the time they reach their destination and show true hostility, it will be too late.

Not only will they suffer, but those who are hiding will also be discovered by other Pirates on the island, captured, and sold into slavery.

This is the last thing they want to see.

This is also why they have always hidden their identities.

Because of the fall of the Bass Kingdom, all the villagers here became targets for Human Traffickers.

To date, more than 90% of the villagers have been captured and enslaved.

"It's okay, I believe in them."

"Boss..."

Seeing that his younger brother was about to say something, Bada quickly reached out and interrupted him.

"Alright, if you don't believe them, don't you believe me?"

He didn't believe in Kuta's crew without reason; rather, based on the news and their behavior when they met, he could deduce that Kuta was indeed different from ordinary Pirates.

Moreover, he possesses an ability that no one else knows about.

That was his Observation Haki, which he Awakening at a very young age. His Observation Haki allows him to see through a person's true thoughts.

So when Kuta said they were "partners of Justice," he believed it.

Since Bass was removed from the World Government, leading to the destruction of his nation.

He encountered countless individuals who spoke of Justice but were utterly wicked at heart. These individuals captured countless people from the Bass Kingdom, causing countless families to be torn apart, lives lost, and wives and children separated.

This also made Bada and his gang no longer believe in Justice.

This is why they were so angry when they heard what Kuta said.

Because they were once such people who believed in Justice!

When truly Justice people arrive, they are not convinced, but instead loudly question them.

It's just that I've been hurt too deeply, so I no longer easily trust anyone.

They weren't slaves like Crazy Bull, so they didn't become Pirates; they were just Bounty Hunter.

This also shows that they still have their hearts set on the good.

Hearing his boss's words, the underling didn't ask any further questions.

He slowly retreated into the crowd, watching Kuta and his group warily.

Although you trust your boss, you still need to be vigilant.

Chapter 10 Reporter

Kuta ignored the underling and turned to look behind him.

"What's wrong?"

Kuina's gaze had been fixed on Kuta, and noticing his Kuta.

"It's nothing, just a few flies and a reporter."

"Reporter?"

Kuina knew what the little flies were; they were definitely some Pirates.

But she didn't know that about the reporter.

"Um!"

Kuta Guotou, looked at Kuina, and smiled, paying little attention to the people behind him.

The reporter sensed it at the dock; after all, he was the only one who hadn't been stunned by his Conqueror's Haki.

"Every year, Supernovas Pirates emerge along the Grand Line, and behind every one of these Pirates is a reporter."

"Only these journalists can spread news about these Supernovas across the Sea at the fastest speed."

"It's fair to say that every year's Supernovas is a war among journalists."

"Whichever Supernovas they're following generates the most buzz, then the reporter following them will naturally be the most watched and anticipated."

Is that so?

Kuina nodded, then her eyes lit up as she looked at Kuta and asked, "So, does that mean we're Supernovas too?"

"Us?"

"If we're talking about newcomers, then yes, but if we're talking about fame, then I guess not!"

Kuta stroked his chin and thought for a moment, "We should be considered, um..."

"I don't know how to describe it."

"If you want to know, just ask that reporter later."

"Oh..."

"Let's go see how the people of the Bass Kingdom are hiding! My Observation Haki can't detect a single trace."

As they spoke, their gazes all turned to Bada.

Behind Kuta and the others, behind a snow-capped mountain.

Wearing a bright red coat and sporting a pink rooster-like hairstyle, "Firebird Vance," a reporter from the World Economy News Paper, leaned excitedly against a snowdrift.

He discovered Kuta when Kuta and his men entered the port.

When he saw Kuta in person, he almost jumped up with excitement.

It's good that Supernovas emerge every year, but not every reporter is lucky enough to encounter one on the first island.

Especially the "Silver Hair -haired Kuta" whom their president now calls a new generation legend.

Their president has issued an order: whoever can be the first to discover news about Kuta will be promoted and receive a raise.

This is no wonder he...

I'm so excited.

When he saw Kuta use his Conqueror's Haki to knock everyone on the dock unconscious, he felt like he had been chosen by Goddess of Luck.

As expected of the man the president specifically designated to keep a close eye on, he was given such a big news story right from the start.

Judging from Kuta's movements, it's clearly not over yet.

He's a reporter for the World Economy News Paper, so of course he knows about the Bass Kingdom.

Although the World Government forbids extensive reporting, he can report on Kuta, and thus, on the Bass Kingdom!

This is another Big News Morgans.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud at the thought.

Hehehe!

Realizing that Kuta was still ahead, he quickly covered his mouth and chuckled to himself.

Thinking of Kuta, he quickly raised his binoculars and Camera, lay down on the snow slope, and started snapping photos of Kuta and his group.

"Well!"

Just then, he froze, because in his camera lens, Kuta was staring directly in his direction.

A cold glint flashed in those Azure Eyes, causing him to catch his breath.

If he hadn't known that Kuta and his crew weren't indiscriminate Pirates, he would have turned and run away.

This is the second reason he's excited.

Although there are Supernovas every year, there aren't many journalists who dare to photograph Supernovas.

If you're caught taking photos without permission, and you happen to run into one of the Supernovas, the more easygoing ones will be fine.

If you encounter a vicious Supernovas, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

Whether they survive or not depends entirely on the other person's mood.

Every year, a few unlucky journalists die, directly or indirectly, at the hands of Supernovas.

Journalism is a high-risk profession!

But he was lucky enough to encounter Pirates was a rare breed among Pirates, one whose goal was adventure.

Pirates like that is unlikely to be in any danger.

Of course, we shouldn't provoke them either.
