When they saw the calm, indifferent profile of the black-haired young man in the newspaper's headline, and the terrifying sum beneath it that would leave anyone breathless...
"Th-three billion Beli?!"
"He single-handedly finished off Whitebeard in the Paramount War?!"
"He's actually come to Fish-Man Island?!"
The two exchanged a glance, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.
"Pekoms! Now! Report to Mama with the Den Den Mushi!"
Baron Tamago made the decision immediately. He knew perfectly well that this information was worth far more than a mere shipload of sweets!
A new emperor who rivaled the Four Emperors, and was perhaps even more dangerous, had actually appeared on their Pirate Crew's territory without a sound!
This was absolutely not a good sign!
After reporting this astonishing information to Big Mom, Baron Tamago and Pekoms still decided to meet the legendary man in person.

The two stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move a muscle. Cold sweat had long since soaked their backs.
