Famous Across the Four Seas!

Big News Morgans's eyes were bloodshot, but he still stared excitedly at the newspaper proof on his desk.

A photo of Fox was printed in the most prominent spot on the page.

Morgans had a feeling that Fox would never stop after killing one Celestial Dragon. He would definitely keep assassinating Celestial Dragons until he achieved his goal.

Leaning back in his chair, Morgans murmured, "Fox, don't let me down. Turn these seas upside down!"

The embers of night had yet to fade completely when a faint, pale light spread across the distant sea.

The news agency's employees worked overtime and finally got today's paper ready.

The News Coos beat their wings and flew to every part of the world, carrying the paper destined to shock it.

They flew across the sky, over oceans and through all kinds of extreme environments, finally delivering the papers to every corner of the world.

The New World, Onigashima.

Kaido stood atop the demon-shaped mountain, drinking sake as he listened to King read today's newspaper.

"Worororo, was this Fox the one who stole Brother Hanafuda's Mythical Zoan...? Worororo, just you wait, Fox! I'll kill you one day!"

Behind him, King's eyes shone as he stared fixedly at Fox's photo in the center of the paper.

He was a survivor of the Lunarians, who had been massacred to the last by the World Government.

That was why he hated the World Government more than anyone and never stopped wanting to kill those damned pigs, yet he lacked the courage to make a move against the Celestial Dragons.

What he hadn't expected was that there was an organization in this world called the Shadow Garden that actually dared to strike at those Celestial Dragons. He couldn't help feeling elated, and he also felt some gratitude toward Fox.

Hearing Kaido's words, King suggested, "Lord Kaido, the Shadow Garden is an organization with considerable fighting strength. Instead of opposing them, why don't we work with them?

"They'll definitely make a move against the World Government in the future. With our help, they might really be able to start a war that sweeps across the whole world!"

The New World, somewhere at sea, aboard the Moby Dick.

The towering giant tipped his head back and drained a gourd of liquor, then threw back his head and laughed, the sound deafening, like the rumble of an earthquake:

"Gurararara, what a fearsome brat! Marco, take a look at today's paper! A Celestial Dragon was actually killed by that guy called Fox!

"Gurararara, the World Government and the Navy are going to lose a lot of face this time!"

Marco picked up a fresh newspaper and studied Fox's photo carefully.

Not long ago, he had vaguely heard Fox's name. The man had slaughtered a thousand people in the East Blue, including the king of an Affiliated Nation.

At the time, he had only thought Fox was a ruthless man and hadn't paid him much mind. After all, numerous Supernovas emerged every year, but after all these years, there were only four Pirate Emperors in the world.

It could be said that most members of the Four Emperors' pirate crews were stronger than the so-called Supernovas.

But now, it seemed that wasn't the case.

His eyes could barely conceal his shock as he murmured, "Saint Rosward actually died..."

By now, he was surrounded by people. After skimming the paper, the others all widened their eyes:

"Heavens, this guy's got some nerve! He actually killed a Celestial Dragon and escaped!"

"Whoa, a bounty of 500 million Beli! That's a lot better than that other Supernova we had our eyes on. I say we get in touch with Fox and bring him into the Whitebeard Pirates too."

"You're getting ahead of yourself. That guy belongs to an organization called the Shadow Garden. Speaking of which, have any of you heard of it?"

As everyone clamored, Blackbeard stood on the deck of the Moby Dick with a newspaper of his own, staring fixedly at Fox's image:

"Has a newcomer already started making waves on these seas? When will it be my turn?"

At that moment, Teach wanted the Dark-Dark Fruit more than ever before!

Totto Land.

Big Mom kept stuffing sweets into her mouth. Chocolate, cakes, cookies, and more disappeared into her gaping maw. The food could have stuffed an ordinary person to death, yet it didn't make Big Mom's belly swell in the slightest.

As she ate, Zeus floated in the air before her, holding a newspaper for her to read.

As Big Mom read the paper, she ate more and more slowly, until she finally stopped eating altogether.

For Big Mom, that was absolutely unbelievable!

"Mama... mama... Katakuri, look at this newspaper!"

Katakuri froze. What news could have gotten Mama so excited?

He picked up the paper and read for a moment. His eyes suddenly contracted, and disbelief filled his face:

"Unbelievable! A Celestial Dragon was actually assassinated!"

"What?!"

His words drew the attention of the rest of the family. Perospero came over to Katakuri's side, read the paper, and cried out in surprise:

"Are today's Supernovas all this terrifying? This guy called Fox actually dared to kill a Celestial Dragon!"

Cracker, the Minister of Biscuits and one of the Three Sweet Commanders, brightened. "Mama, what do you think about having this guy join our family? If he killed a Celestial Dragon and came away unharmed, he must be powerful."

Cracker's suggestion tempted Big Mom, and seeing this, Katakuri hurriedly stopped her:

"No. Fox and the Shadow Garden behind him are under close scrutiny from the World Government right now. If Fox joins us, we'll become a target for everyone too.

"When that happens, even if Mama is strong, we'll suffer heavy losses!"

Only then did Big Mom calm down.

That was right. Having Fox join the family wasn't worth the cost, so she gave up on the idea.

On another island, Red Hair and Dracule Mihawk sat cross-legged on the ground, savoring red wine.

News Coos flew overhead and dropped several newspapers.

Mihawk opened a newspaper and began reading. At last, his hawk-like eyes suddenly contracted, and he passed the paper to Red Hair:

"Shanks, look! One of this generation's Supernovas actually assassinated a Celestial Dragon!"

Red Hair gave it a cursory glance, handed the paper back to Mihawk, then picked up his wine gourd and drank in great gulps.

Seeing his reaction, Mihawk asked curiously, "You already knew about this?"

Red Hair nodded. "Yeah, Mihawk. I just found out not long ago."

"Oh? What do you think? This guy broke your record for the highest bounty in Paradise," Mihawk teased, a rare occurrence for him.

But Red Hair was in no mood to respond. He shook his head.

"Mihawk, tell me, are young people these days all monsters? He's only just begun to make a name for himself, and he's already done something this huge?

"Do you think these seas can stay calm?

"Just two more years... just two more years..."
