Feeling the eager gazes from all around.

Hancock snorted and plopped down on a beach chair before continuing.

"See? I know what you're thinking. The Shichibukai are no ordinary people. Those who were killed were all weaklings. The rest are not simple beings. I don't believe that every news story is related to that guy."

"If we ever meet again, I will make him pay. Shichibukai are not people he can kill at will."

After saying this, Hancock crossed her arms and destroyed the murder weapon.

"Thank you so much, dear sister!"

Seeing that Hancock had given in, Marigold quickly pulled out Beli and threw it away.

Soon, the News Coo, which was about to leave, saw Beli and transformed into an arrow, circling in the sky and catching Beli. It then tossed down the only newspaper it had left in its arms.

Marigold quickly took the newspaper, and was immediately surrounded by her men.

Even Hancock, standing on a beach chair with a haughty air, couldn't help but glance at it out of the corner of her eye.

However, as other people's gazes swept over her, Hancock quickly straightened her posture and gave a cold snort as a cover.

"Hmph, what's wrong? This Big News Morgans has absolutely nothing to do with that guy."

"That guy has dominated the cover for so many issues; it's time for my beauty to reclaim the front page."

She is a sea empress and one of the Shichibukai.

Every time Hancock sets sail, she becomes the center of attention.

Many people travel thousands of miles just to catch a glimpse of her up close and meet her.

Of course, most people would become petrified because of her mood.

However, it always makes the front page, without a doubt.

Unfortunately, ever since Bai Yu appeared...

Despite being the most beautiful pirate, she repeatedly lost out in the front-page competition.

No matter what she does, the front page still features Bai Yu, the Marine Fourth Admiral.

It's safe to say that if Hancock had the choice, she would definitely kick it over and take back the front page.

"Big sister, something terrible has happened! That guy has killed another Shichibukai!"

Sonia exclaimed in surprise.

"It seems we still need to maintain good relations with the Four Emperors."

Since becoming Shichibukai, Sandersonia has felt her prestige skyrocketing.

Unfortunately, ever since Bai Yu appeared, Crocodile has been marked by tragedy.

This Big News Morgans turned into a nightmare.

The killing of a Shichibukai might still be considered an accident.

But then a series of accidents occurred.

This inevitably leads them to the misconception that they themselves are in a precarious situation.

It was for this reason that Marigold repeatedly urged Hancock to accept Big Mom's invitation to the party.

If an agreement can be reached with the Four Emperors, perhaps it will make Bai Yu wary.

Of course, if you let them think about it more deeply...

Bai Yu even defeated Kaido of the Four Emperors.

This so-called agreement is probably completely useless and nothing more than self-deception.

"Another Shichibukai? Who is it this time? Is it Gecko Moria, Fish-Man Jinbe, Tyrant Kuma, or Dracule Mihawk?"

Hancock's face immediately darkened.

In her eyes, the position of Shichibukai ) brought her more than just the privilege of free navigation.

It also gave her a sense of security in her identity.

At least, having the status of one of the Shichibukai gave Hancock a feeling that she would no longer be a slave to the Celestial Dragons.

This also helped to somewhat alleviate her unease.

Currently, Bai Yu has killed Shichibukai.

This action undoubtedly shook Hancock's sense of security.

"Big Sister, it's not 'them,' it's the Shichibukai newly chosen by the Five Elders, who calls himself Whitebeard Jr.., Edward Weevil."

"Sandersonia said hastily."

"The newspapers say that the mission was originally intended for former Marine Admiral Zephyr, but Whitebeard Jr.. planned to use this opportunity to establish his authority and targeted the trainee recruits. Zephyr's arm was also severed. If the Marine Fourth Admiral hadn't arrived in time to kill Whitebeard Jr.., the trainee recruits would probably have been wiped out."

Sandersonia and the others might be somewhat unfamiliar with Edward Weevil's existence.

However, the information attached to the end of the newspaper still caused a slight change in his expression.

He is suspected to be Whitebeard's son, and is said to possess Whitebeard's strength in his youth, with a bounty of 500 million Beli, etc.

Each word was originally intended to highlight Weevil's prowess.

At this very moment, Bai Yu's strength is on full display.

This is the third Shichibukai to be killed!

If we include Ace, who refused to become Shichibukai and was defeated, we'll also be included.

That was the Shichibukai to be defeated by Bai Yu.

These kinds of terms definitely make up half of the Shichibukai.

"What an arrogant bastard! It seems there are no good people in the Navy. He claims the Shichibukai have absolute autonomy, yet he remains completely unmoved by these repeated killings."

"I have no problem with looking down on others, but if you look down on my Kuja Pirates, I will make sure you regret it."

Hancock's pretty face instantly turned frosty, and she gave a cold snort.

In particular, considering his status Shichibukai, it was a matter of personal security.

This undoubtedly made her a little impatient.

However, these thoughts had barely flashed through his mind when Marigold's voice rang out impatiently.

"Sister, you... you're probably wrong this time. He's probably a good person."

"A good person?" Hancock's face darkened.

" Mari, are you joking? I don't find this joke funny at all."

"How could someone so arrogant be a good person?"

As she spoke, Hancock strode over to Marigold and snatched the newspaper from her.

She raised a beautiful eyebrow and quickly scanned the newspaper.

The next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his eye sockets almost burst.

Even the hands holding the newspaper almost tore it apart from the force.

Looking at the content on the front page.

After examining it again and again, even his breathing became rapid.

Marigold, standing nearby, instantly understood Hancock's change. He gently grasped Hancock's slightly trembling hand and said with a wry smile.

"Big sister, you didn't expect this guy to even beat up Celestial Dragons, did you?"

"Just now, I felt the same way as my older sister, really disliked his arrogance. But now, it seems that his arrogant attitude is actually quite cool."

"He's probably the only Marine capable of taking on Celestial Dragons."

"If I had to say whether there are any good people in the navy, he'd probably be half of one!"
