As seagulls carrying newspapers flew out, news of Luo Chen's bravery in storming Marine Headquarters, offending the Celestial Dragons, and rescuing Catherine spread throughout the world.
"This is... Hahaha, you actually dare to trespass on headquarters, you've got some nerve, Luo Chen the Blasphemer."
Inside the Dressrosa Palace, Shichibukai Doflamingo, holding a glass of juice in his left hand and a newspaper in his right, glanced at it and said with a sinister smile.
"Is this today's newspaper? All this commotion at Marine Headquarters? Utterly boring."
Inside a quiet, deserted castle, Dracule Mihawk sat on his throne, picked up the newspaper that the newsbird had just delivered, glanced at it briefly, and tossed it onto the table, saying...
For him, powerful swordsmen were what he cared about. Although the news that Luo Chen had caused a ruckus at headquarters was quite sensational, it did not arouse his desire.
"Here, this is the money for the newspaper. Give me the newspaper..."
On a pirate ship powered by two serpentine Sea Kings, a voluptuous woman dressed in wild attire tossed a silver coin into the coin box and reached out to the newspaper seagull for a newspaper.
quack...
It picked up a newspaper, placed it in her hand, and then flew away to find its next customer.
"Huh... what's this?! Lady Snake Princess!! Lady Snake Princess..."
The woman hurriedly ran with the newspaper to inform the ship's captain, Boya Hancock.
"What's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss? Is there something important you need to see your sister about?"
Just then, the cabin door opened, and a tall, burly woman walked out and asked her a question.
"Yes, Lady Sonia. The newspaper seagull just delivered a newspaper with very important news, and I want to tell Snake Princess about it."
The female soldier picked up the newspaper and answered.
"Important news, right? Let me see it..."
Sonia grabbed the newspaper, glanced at it, her mouth agape, her eyes glazed over, then shook her head, clutched it tightly, and rushed into the cabin to tell her sister.
"Sister, sister, something terrible has happened..."
Sonia rushed into a dreamlike room filled with a faint fragrance and called out to the hazy figure sitting cross-legged on the bed.
"What's wrong, Sonia? Is there something you need to talk to me about that you're shouting about?"
Just then, a seductive and melodious voice came from inside the bed.
Then a hand reached out from the bed and pulled back the curtain, revealing a flawless, beautiful face, whose beautiful eyes gazed at her.
"Yes, my apologies. Sister, please look, this is a newly printed newspaper..."
Sonia lowered her head, handed the newspaper to Hancock, and said apologetically.
"Is this today's newspaper? What news could be causing you such a commotion? Let me see..."
Hancock took the newspaper from her sister, glanced at it, and then her expression changed drastically. Her brows furrowed, and she exclaimed in surprise.
" Blasphemer? Who dares to be so audacious as to anger the Celestial Dragons? To rescue his comrades, and even escape from Garp and Akainu... Interesting. I'm starting to take a liking to him. Luo Chen, is it?!"
Sonia, if you have any news about him in the future, bring it to me and let me know, okay?
After reading the newspaper, Hancock relaxed her brow and became very interested in Luo Chen, so she asked her sister to keep an eye out for any news about him.
"Okay, sister, I'll keep an eye out."
Sonia saw her sister's behavior and, although she didn't know what had happened, she could only obediently follow her sister's instructions.
"Captain, this is today's newspaper. Something very important happened at headquarters yesterday!"
"What's going on? Let me see. Hahaha, interesting. That kid named Luo Chen has really stirred up some big trouble..."
However, it poses no threat to our plans whatsoever, so we can ignore it.
The newly Shichibukai, Blackbeard, took the newspaper handed to him by his companion, glanced at it, and then burst into laughter.
"Captain Marco..."
On the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick, a soldier jogged over with a newspaper to report to First Division Commander Marco.
"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"
Marco jumped down from the railing, looked at him, and asked.
"Please take a look..." the soldier said, handing him the newspaper.
"So nervous, just to show me this newspaper?"
"You can decide after you've seen it..."
"... Huh!! Even headquarters gets a huge mess from pirates? It seems the Navy is getting more and more decadent."
Marco exclaimed in surprise after taking a closer look.
"Yes, I saw this news and wanted to ask you whether we should tell Pops about it?"
The soldier nodded and tentatively asked.
"No need. Leave this to me. Pops hasn't had much rest lately because he's been worrying about Ace, so there's no need to bother him with this."
After reading through all the contents, Marco closed the newspaper and shook his head in disapproval.
"Alright then, I won't disturb Pops's rest any longer."
Upon hearing Marco's words, the man's face darkened. Knowing he couldn't disturb his Pops's rest any longer, he turned and left.
"Mommy, Mommy, is the cake ready yet? I really want to taste it soon!"
On a Whole Cake Island filled with fairy tales and dreams, Four Emperors Big Mom, lying on her bed and drooling as she eagerly awaited the delicious food, asked her subordinates below.
"It's not ready yet, please wait a little longer,"
One of the chefs below waved his hand and replied somewhat helplessly.
"Is it ready yet? I really want to eat that delicious food soon, you guys feel the same way, right?!"
Hearing that it wasn't ready yet, the Big Mom, bored, recalled the sweet and delicious food she had once eaten and asked her servants sitting below.
"Slurp! Yes, that kind of cake that releases an incredibly sweet flavor the moment it's tasted is definitely something to look forward to..."
When Big Mom asked him that question, the pirates below covered their faces with their hands and said with a wistful expression.
"Right, that's what you all think too. Then keep savoring this delicious taste in my belly..."
After the Big Mom finished speaking, she stood up, looked at them, and said in a chilling tone.
"Ugh... no, Big Mom, please stop! Please stop!"
Her subordinates, upon hearing this, sensed something was wrong and quickly tried to escape, but the Big Mom grabbed them by the hands, holding them tightly in her palms. They cried and begged for mercy, but to no avail.
At this moment, she had lost her mind. Her subconscious activated its power, and dark hands reached out to grab them. She held wisps of soul clouds in her hands, then turned them into longevity snacks and swallowed them.
The pirates, however, lost all life force the moment their souls were extracted, collapsing to the ground without moving.
"Honestly, they just ate their comrades again. Never mind, I'd better not tell Mom about the latest news from the Navy."
Sitting to the side, Pudding, somewhat unable to accept this, said helplessly, and hid the newspaper she had prepared to show her.
" Kaido, Kaido... Oh, so you're here... You're drunk again, aren't you? This is the newspaper that was just delivered, would you like to take a look?"
On Skull Island, an orc subordinate unfolded a newspaper and presented it to the drunken Kaido, asking him a question.
Is there something important?
Kaido asked his subordinates with his eyes half-open.
"Yes, it's said that a pirate named Luo Chen caused a huge disturbance at headquarters, not only rescuing his own crewmates but also offending the Celestial Dragons ' dignity. The government has put a high bounty on his head."
His subordinates carefully explained it to him.
"What did you say? A pirate caused a huge disturbance at Marine Headquarters? What were those Marines doing?"
Upon hearing this news, the drunken Kaido instantly sobered up and stared wide-eyed at his subordinates.
"It's said that the guy Luo Chen is very powerful; he actually managed to escape from Garp and Akainu. You shouldn't underestimate him."
His subordinates were talking, but they didn't notice that their boss had already stood up completely, picked up his Wolf Fang, stretched his limbs, and glanced at him.
"What did you just say? You told me not to underestimate that guy, right?"
"Yes, I believe that since he was able to escape from Garp and Admiral Akainu, his strength must not be underestimated, so you should not look down on him."
The subordinate didn't notice Kaido's sudden change in tone and answered without any reaction.
"Tch, you're telling me not to underestimate him?"
Before Kaido could finish speaking, he swung his Wolf Fang and slammed it down heavily on one of his subordinates.
Thump...
"... Who does he think he is, daring to make me wary of him?"
After Kaido finished his swing, he roared loudly.
