--Special report from the New World front lines--
Shocking news! Yesterday, a battle of titans worthy of going down in history erupted on Oss Island in the New World!
According to an eyewitness-a News Coo who wished to remain anonymous-Marine Headquarters' Commodore "Heavenquake" Gern single-handedly faced the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division Commander,
"Samurai" Kozuki Oden, whose bounty stood at a staggering 1.87 billion Beli, and defeated him head-on!!
--The tide turns! The Marines' greatest fighting forces assemble!--
Just as the entire Whitebeard Pirates crew landed, intending to rescue Oden,
Fleet Admiral Kong, Headquarters Admiral "Sengoku the Buddha," and Vice Admiral Sakazuki arrived on the battlefield!
The three joined forces to severely wound the "World's Strongest Man"! The Whitebeard Pirates were forced to retreat!
This battle marks the rise of a new generation of Marine commanders!
And for the first time, the Marines' combined might shattered Whitebeard's "legend of invincibility"!
Countless islands within G-3's waters raised Marine flags, hailing the battle as "a milestone for justice."
Rumor has it: G-3's waters have been rated the safest seas, causing property prices in island cities to climb steadily!
