Under the guidance of news seagulls, newspapers flew to all parts of the world like snowflakes.
The New World, on an island.
"Boss, boss!"
A pirate, clutching a newspaper, rushed over, panting, and said, "This newspaper, this newspaper..."
"Don't be in such a hurry, we can talk about it slowly."
At this moment, in this small area, several people were gathered, some standing and some sitting.
A fat man wearing sunglasses took a big bite of a piece of meat, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.
A man with dreadlocks is maintaining his musket.
A man with a hooked nose, a cigarette holder between his fingers, stood next to a red-haired man.
The red-haired man poured a glass of rum with one hand and handed it to the man holding the newspaper.
"Don't rush, speak slowly."
The voice was very soft, but it had a calming effect, putting the panicked person to a standstill.
He thanked him, took the glass of wine, downed it in a few gulps, caught his breath, handed over the newspaper, and said, "Boss! Redfield is dead! Killed by a navy man!"
"Redfield?"
The hook-nosed man was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. "You mean that Lone Red? Dead? Wasn't that 'senior' already imprisoned in Impel Down? Was he executed?"
"That uncle..."
The red-haired man was also a little stunned, then shook his head and smiled, reaching out to take the newspaper, saying, "What is the navy up to now? They've already gained a great reputation, do they still want to execute the older generation to boost their prestige?"
No sooner had he said that than he saw the cover of the newspaper. In just one glance, the red-haired man's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously touched his chest.
At the same time, the hook-nosed man standing next to him looked down and saw the image in the newspaper, exclaiming in surprise, "It's that man..."
"Naval Heroes Slay the Lone Red!"
This is the banner with the title.
The photo is the one of Kuro sheathing his sword and Redfield falling down.
"It's him..."
The red-haired man rubbed his chest, revealing his bare chest through his open-necked shirt, where a large scar was visible.
"Every time I think about it, my chest still aches. Has that Marine, Lucilfer Kuro, started to show his fangs?" Shanks shook his head and handed the newspaper to Beckman next to him.
Beckman took it, glanced at it carefully, and said, "It should be Teach. No, after Blackbeard caused a ruckus in Impel Down, the Red Earl escaped from prison, but for some reason, this man discovered him. He has the power to deal with Redfield. This news is true."
"world..."
Redhead raised his head, looked up at the sky, and sighed, "I wonder how far it will surge."
...
Also in the New World, on an island.
Rumble!
The island was inexplicably shaking, and buildings were cracking one by one.
"The admiral has started again."
"This ability is really powerful!"
Inside the tavern, a group of pirates stared at the wooden wine cups that had spilled wine due to the vibrations, some with admiration and others with fear.
"I say, is the Admiral in a good mood today?"
"It doesn't seem so. It seems that the shaking started because of a certain newspaper."
Inside the tallest building on the island, Teach glared fiercely at a newspaper placed in front of him, then suddenly punched the air.
Rumble!
The vibration started again.
“Hahaha, Captain, that man killed Redfield! I remember you invited him, didn’t you?” Zishas Barshas raised his arms, struck a bodybuilding pose, and laughed heartily.
“You should call me Admiral, you idiot.” On the other side, Shiryu, wearing the Impel Down uniform except with a skull design on his hat, wiped his sword and casually remarked.
Then, he looked at the newspaper on the table and said, "Redfield? What a pity, I never had the chance to kill him in prison."
The man who threw the punch was rugged in appearance, with thick body hair and a very burly build. He was Marshall D. Teach, but compared to a year ago, his stubble had grown into four braids, and he was wearing a captain's hat.
"Thief, hahaha!"
Teach opened his mouth, now showing his teeth, and laughed heartily: "I received a lot of 'care' from him back then. Thinking about it now, those countless cuts still hurt. But, I finally got what I wanted!"
He looked at the person in the photo and continued laughing, "Hahaha, you're starting to make your move too, huh? Let's have a competition to see who can stand in the highest position first!"
...
A new world, a world of nations.
"Mom, Mom, big news! Redfield has been killed by a Navy soldier!"
In a nearly dark palace, a long-legged man swallowed hard and tremblingly handed forward a newspaper.
Ahead, an enormous face suddenly appeared from the darkness, making the long-legged man appear extremely small.
"Ryder...field?"
The sound came out somewhat slowly, as if in recollection.
"Ma ma ma ma ma!"
The voice laughed: "That old geezer, is he finally dead?"
...
New World, Demon Island.
"Rua!!!"
The roar was deafening, silencing the pirates on Onigashima.
That roar came from the strongest person in the world today, the so-called strongest creature in the 'sea, land and air', the King of Wano Country, the 'Beast' Kaido!
Every time he lets out that roar, someone is bound to be in trouble.
"That brat! That brat!!!"
Inside a huge cave, Kaido clenched his fists, veins bulging on his body, and roared wildly. The sound waves caused the cave to tremble violently, terrifying all the pirates inside.
Besides a cross-shaped scar on his waist and abdomen, he had two longer scars on his chest. One was a vertical line that ran from his chest to his abdomen, and the other was a slightly diagonal one, shorter than the first. They were intertwined, and with his roar, the scars turned faintly red.
On the rock face, a newspaper was nailed with a dagger, bearing the photograph of Kuro killing Redfield.
"Boring, so incredibly boring!!!"
Kaido kicked away the gourd beside his feet. The gourd flew out and hit a pirate hard in the face. The force of the blow caused the gourd to embed itself deeply into the pirate's face, sending him flying.
"Isn't there anyone who can kill me?!"
The voice continued to roar across Oni Island.
...
Marineford.
"Oh, this is really..."
The general's office.
Kizaru stared in surprise at the newspaper laid out in front of him. "How terrifying..."
He looked up at the navy officer who had reported the incident and asked, "Where's Kuro?"
"Report!"
The navy officer straightened up and honestly replied, "Commodore Kuro has already returned to the West Blue."
