Chapter 796 The World is Shocked! (Part 2) (5400 words)
[West Sea, edge of the Calm Belt——]
[The Kingdom of Flowers, Purple Mountain, and the Imperial Palace]
"It's so noisy."
Hancock put his stamp on the alliance agreement, threw the snake seal away, and turned away, ignoring the flashing cameras and the crowd.
Sanda took the snake seal and put it away, smiled apologetically to Ayu, and quickly followed his sister.
The Pirate Queen's attitude of doing whatever she wants has obviously annoyed many people - it's too disrespectful! Especially the King of the Dragon Palace and the Lord of the Flower Country who are allied with her!
However, since it was Boa Hancock, I had no choice but to forgive her...
After all, she is so beautiful...
Listening to the praises that gave people goosebumps, Neptune and the eldest prince behind him couldn't help but smile bitterly. Judging from the expressions of Lynch and Nico Robin when they mentioned the empress, it was completely unexpected that the empress had such a bad personality! - How did the two of them tolerate her?
A smile flashed across Ah Yu's eyes. She handed the flower seal to Lily, the regent, and thought: How do you know how good-tempered Hancock is in front of Brother Lin Qi and Sister Robin?
"Your Majesty, this is today's World Economic News." Lily put away the seal and quietly handed a newspaper to Ayu.
"Sister, please give some respect to the Kingdom of Flowers."
Sanda chased to the outside of the palace, only to see the empress standing alone, leaning against the railing and gazing at the scenery of the mountains. The sea breeze blew slowly, ruffling her long, smooth black hair and red dress. She looked so beautiful that she had a sense of nobility that was isolated from the world, as if she would be blown away by the wind at any time and would not stay in the world for long. Even though she was her biological sister who had lived with her for more than 20 years, Sanda would still be surprised by her sister's charm.
Hancock said: "The relationship was severed hundreds of years ago, why should we give face to each other?"
Sanda took out the snake seal and shook it, then said with a smile, "From now on, aren't we connected again?"
Hancock remained noncommittal. "The position of Snake Queen belongs to the strongest. It is uncertain whether the Snake Queen will be willing to maintain this alliance in the future."
"Sister, the child of you and Lin Qi must be the most powerful." Sanda said jokingly, "It must be Snake Princess!"
As Sanda expected, her sister turned her head away, her ears reddened. But she quickly turned back and glared at Sanda, "What if it's a son?"
Oh, Sanda said happily: "Then become the next Pirate King like Master Tulip's son?"
Hancock's extremely high chest rose and fell violently, but she refused to be teased by her sister. She frowned and scolded, "Shut up."
Sundar made a zipper-mouthed motion.
But she quickly pulled them apart and whispered, "Don't we have a princess? The daughter she gives birth to can also be a snake princess..." Her sister glared at her again, and Sanda closed her mouth again.
"What are you talking about? You look so happy."
A-Yu came over with a smile. "Are you bothered by the reporters?" She waved the newspaper in her hand at Hancock. "But they also brought some good things."
Hancock brushed her hair and took the newspaper. What she saw was a huge front-page photo and bold headlines.
Sanda leaned over to look and exclaimed, "Lynch and Luffy killed two of the Four Emperors in one go?"
Ah Yu smiled and said, "I'm not surprised they can do it. With Brother Lin Qi's strength, even if he calls Kaido over, the result will be the same. Not to mention the help of the Whitebeard Pirates! - What's more rare than killing two of the Four Emperors is that these two Four Emperors actually got together on the same day, and they happened to be caught by Brother Lin Qi and his men. This is too coincidental! Or should we say that Brother Lin Qi and his men are really lucky? Haha..."
"Two left," Hancock said.
"Huh?" Sanda and Ayu looked at her in confusion.
"The same goes for the remaining two Yonko."
"Aren't Shanks, Lynch-brother and Luffy good friends?" Ayu and Sanda were both shocked. Sister, why are you so cruel?
Hancock rolled his eyes and carefully opened the fresh newspaper in his hand. His slender jade-like fingers brushed across the slightly blurred Lin Qi in the photo. He was on the messy coast in the morning light, and he bent his bow and shot the old lady flying to the sea with an arrow to blow up her head... It was the archery of the Nine Snakes! Hancock didn't show it on his face, but he was very happy in his heart. I taught him... So, I should also have a share of the credit for killing this fat woman! Humph.
Suddenly, Hancock frowned.
Sanda and Ayu, who were exchanging eye contact and secretly laughing at Hancock's fluttering beauty, could not help but look in awe and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Hancock hesitated and said, "How about we terminate the contract first? Otherwise, the news of the alliance might take over the headlines of Lynch and the others..."
The two girls quickly advised: "That's totally unnecessary!"
…
It is not known whether Hancock's worries will come true. After all, it takes time to produce new news, typeset and print newspapers, and publish them around the world.
At the headquarters of the World Economic News, the birdman Morganse was drinking tea and laughing strangely, "Let the big news of 'The Fall of the Two Emperors' continue for a day or two! After all, I've known Lingling for so long, I have to give her a grand funeral! Ha ha ha..."
As for Blackbeard? He was a new emperor who died only half a year after his rise. How unfamiliar! The big news of two sea emperors being killed together continued to stir up waves around the world.
Wave Messenger and Devil's Son join the Straw Hats? The conflict between Big Mom and Blackbeard Pirates is questionable, and they are suspected to have joined forces long ago! The Straw Hats and Whitebeards cooperate, the four groups fight, and the two emperors die in the New World! The five billion pirates want a newcomer of five hundred million to become the Pirate King?
Waves of heated discussions emerged one after another, in the four oceans of the southeast, northwest, countless islands, and in countries, cities, streets, and crowds as numerous as the stars. In the past few days, I don't know how many people in countless taverns were arguing over similar topics, and I don't know how many pirates were so excited when reading the news in the newspaper, or were so scared that they never dared to go to the Grand Line again.
Some people even dug up an old story from a year ago, where Whitebeard took in the son of Pirate King Roger in order to train him to become the next Pirate King!
What about Lynch? Is Straw Hat Boy Luffy also the son of one of Lynch's friends?
The person who raised this point was hit by a bench on the spot, because the other party thought that he compared Lynch to Whitebeard, which was an offense to the strongest man in the world!
Then this drunk guy was kicked away by someone else. Whitebeard himself was dead. Where did this little devil raised by Whitebeard come from? What is he yelling about? From now on, this is the era of the eight-armed devil!
The wind is rising and the clouds are surging, and the sea is no longer calm.
Many guys, both openly and covertly, have smelled something unusual. How could this happen? How could Lin Qi be like this? He is the world's top bounty pirate, but instead of setting up camp and expanding his territory, he actually went to a new pirate's ship - and disappeared for a year, and as soon as he entered the new world, he directly killed two of the Four Emperors of the Sea! It's accelerating...
Many people may not know Luffy, let alone have dealt with Lynch, but they have a strange feeling that a monster like Lynch who can kill marshals, admirals, and four emperors in a blink of an eye is fueling the flames... The next pirate group to arrive at Raftel after Roger, the Pirate King, seems to be accelerating! After all, let's be honest, a guy like Lynch has already made his move, who can stop him? Even if everyone rushes to stop him, what about the "Devil's Son" next to him?
Apart from the two of them, the newspaper clearly states that Blackbeard Teach was defeated by the Straw Hat Boy and his brother Ace, and was killed by the Straw Hat Boy himself! What did the Straw Hat Pirates do in the year since they disappeared after the Battle of Marineford? It seems that there is an answer... This fucking beast Lynch took a year off to improve the strength of the Straw Hat Pirates, commonly known as cheating!
"Lingling is actually dead..."
"Auntie is dead, and the territory she has taken over in the past few years..."
"In just one year, the 'Supernova' has grown into a being that can rival the 'Four Emperors'?"
"I no longer understand this sea..."
"Alas! The eight-armed devil trained me personally for a year! Why can't I encounter such a good thing???"
"With the eight-armed demon in charge, if it were me, I could kill Blackbeard too!"
"No, you might not be able to do it..."
Countless newspapers fell like snowflakes and landed on a floating bubble. They were lifted higher and higher, and finally the bubble burst with a "pop". The newspapers also fluttered down and were caught by a hairy hand.
"Hey, there's a free newspaper? I'm lucky today!"
Rayleigh walked by with a smile, holding a bottle of wine in one hand and flipping through a newspaper with the other. When he saw the front-page news, he paused with the bottle mouth at his lips, "Charlotte Lingling, you are the same, eliminated by the times..."
Back at the Knock-Off Bar, Xia Qi was wiping the bar, glancing at the newspaper under the bottle, and said with a smile, "Why are you suddenly so emotional?"
"Lingling is an old 'friend' from the old days after all!" Rayleigh drank. "Every time I see news like this, I can clearly feel that this is no longer the era for old guys like us."
Xia Qi asked curiously, "After you were defeated by Lin Qi, you should have understood this clearly, right?"
Rayleigh looked at her speechlessly and said, "Thank you for your comfort."
"You're welcome." Xia Qi mixed a glass of wine and pushed it over. "It's your turn."
Xia Qi lit a cigarette, extinguished the match, and said with a smile: "There are no powerful supernovas in Shampoo this year! It is totally incomparable to last year's 'grand occasion'..."
As he said this, he pushed several other newspapers in front of Rayleigh. Rayleigh picked up the wine glass and laughed, "This is the normal level of a 'supernova', haha."
The headline of the news reads "Captain Kidd who entered the New World finally appeared and led the pirate group to challenge the Four Emperors Red Hair Shanks..."
…
[New World, a certain island——]
"Damn redhead!!!"
Kidd was wrapped in bandages all over his body, like a huge human cross. He gritted his teeth and said, "What are the Four Emperors? One day, I will settle this account with interest..."
The crew member next to him whispered: "Captain, you also have red hair..."
"Captain! There's a new newspaper!" A pirate hurried over from the seaside and handed the latest newspaper to Kidd - uh, he spread out the newspaper and held it in front of Kidd's face, who was unable to move. "There's big news!"
The fall of two emperors!
The shocking front page smashed into Kidd's pupils, making him dizzy.
What the hell? I was almost killed by Red Hair, one of the Four Emperors, and how come the Straw Hats killed two of the Four Emperors? Two? ? ?
"Don't shake your hands, I can't see clearly!" Kidd's eyes were bloodshot, and he read carefully with bated breath. Only then did he realize that it was not the Straw Hat who killed the two Four Emperors alone, but Lynch who killed Big Mom alone, and the Straw Hat and his brother teamed up to kill Blackbeard... But this still made Kidd more and more surprised. Kidd, who had personally experienced the meaning of the Four Emperors, knew very well that if the strength had not really reached that level, let alone two people joining forces, even if twenty people joined forces, they would still be sent to eat! Before, their entire group challenged Red-Haired Shanks, just like going to send food...
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Kidd still felt a little scared when he recalled the scene at that time.
On that island, Red-Haired Shanks walked towards them alone with a sword. In just a moment, all of them were lying on the ground with white eyes and unconscious.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It was Kidd who, with the powerful physique of the ancient species of the Fish-Fish Fruit, was able to hold on for a while longer. The last scene he saw was Shanks standing there, with the blade in his hand dragging a dark aura like flowing water... It was simply the realm of another world!
Kidd recognized this move! This was the move used by Lynch and the admirals in the Battle of Marineford a year ago.
Kidd never expected that there would be such a huge difference between experiencing it through a screen and experiencing it in person.
In just a moment, they were all defeated.
If Red Hair hadn't meant to kill them, they wouldn't have had a chance to leave the island alive! It was because Kidd had experienced this pain that he understood the power of the Four Emperors, and was able to realize the qualitative change in the Straw Hat kid's strength from the words in the newspaper.
A year ago, we were all supernovas in Shampoo, how come we were suddenly so far apart?
Kidd frowned, feeling furious.
…
At this moment, there was another person who was looking at the same newspaper and feeling equally angry.
"I'm so mad! I'm so mad!!!"
Cavendish threw the newspaper onto the deck. "Obviously, the biggest news is that we defeated the Three Calamities of the Beasts Pirates! Damn Straw Hats! Damn Lynch! Damn Ace! Damn, damn, damn, damn! Now the eyes of the whole world are on you, and not on this prince!!!"
Marian held up a drawing board to depict the strange and unpredictable weather in the new world. Here the sky was clear, but ahead there was a rainstorm and thunder, which was very artistic. As she painted, she said casually, "There's nothing I can do. They are just the Three Calamities under the Four Emperors. They can't be compared with the Four Emperors themselves."
Amorine and her mother Annie quickly covered her mouth, "Stop provoking him!"
"Humph!" Cavendish went back to the cabin angrily.
“…” Marianne’s mouth was covered, she blinked and pointed forward with the paintbrush.
"What's going on?" Amorin looked over there, and saw something huge flying across the sky above the storm in the distance ahead... Is it a flying island?! ...
〖The warm breeze is blowing, and the garden is like a holiday——〗
He grabbed the newspaper with one hand, flipped through it casually, and grinned, "It seems like the sea is very lively!"
Swish! The knife flashed and the newspaper was shredded into several pieces. The photo where Lin Qi shot the old lady's head with an arrow was cut off...
~~~~~~~~~~~ 〖Temporarily return to the day when the "Battle of the End" ended〗
[In the sky not far away…]
Teng-teng-teng, the sound of the plane roaring past was the sound of the buffalo, the former user of the Don Quixote family's Spin-Teng Fruit, using its head as a propeller to spin and create the noise, crossing the sky...
On his back were the sisters Sando and Monet, who were still in shock, and Senior, who was looking back at the end of his sight with a cold sweat on his face. The Sphinx Island where two of the Four Emperors fell was only a small black dot on the sea... Compared with the scale of this war, the battle in which Dover died more than ten years ago seemed calm and silent.
The level difference is too great.
Sugar and Monet had the same idea. Seeing Lynch beating the invincible old lady like a balloon, sending her flying all over the island, and finally shooting her head with an arrow... the two sisters were so scared that they patted the buffalo's back and asked him to retreat first. God knows if a monster like Lynch noticed them hiding in the sky in the distance, watching and waiting for an opportunity to strike...
Waiting for the right opportunity?
Hehe...Sugar smiled bitterly. What can he do? Even approaching that kind of battlefield requires great courage! Monet said unwillingly: "But, what about the young master's revenge? After waiting for more than ten years, I finally got their trace..."
"Sugar, with the power of your Childlike Fun Fruit, if you encounter him, no matter how powerful he is, he will be affected, right?" Buffalo shouted from below, depressed, "It's all the fault of Baby5, he actually betrayed us in the first place! Now he has even joined Luo's pirate group and become the 'Weapon Queen' and gave himself a weird name..."
"Idiot!" said Sugar, "The power of the devil fruit is not invincible. Lynch's domineering power is so strong that I'm afraid my power can't even touch him..."
Senior took a deep breath and said, "But he can't use his Haki to protect his body all the time."
"That's right! As long as we do it quietly while he doesn't know about your abilities, Sugar..." Buffalo said excitedly, "Tang Sugar, you look like a child, and he will definitely be fooled!"
Sandang's face turned pale and he cursed, "Asshole! It's not like you guys are going to take risks, right? You make it sound so simple!"
Monet said helplessly: "We have to give it a try... Sister, just think of it as for the young master."
"Then how can we get close to them?" Sugar rolled her eyes, bit her finger and looked back. The sea was vast and the Sphinx Island was no longer visible. "It's definitely too late to turn back now..."
Monet thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember what the demon yelled?"
"Wano Country?"
"That's the Whitebeard Pirates'--wait!"
"They are brothers with the Straw Hat brothers! And..." Sugar and the others looked at each other, "There are only two of the Four Emperors left, and the Straw Hat brothers will find them sooner or later. And Kaido is said to be in Wano Country, so he is obviously closer... It just so happens that he is in line with the next plan of the Straw Hat brothers..."
"So, let's go to Wano Country?" Senior asked in the wind.
Sugar rolled her eyes and said, "It's just a matter of luck! Maybe the Straw Hat guys are going to look for Red Hair who's farther away first..."
"Then let's take a chance!" Monet sighed, "Let everything be left to fate?"
The buffalo lamented, "Our luck never seems to be very good..."
“Shut up!!”
The Buffalo plane made a turn in the sky and flew away...
…
〖Wano Country, Oni Island——〗
Kaido flipped through the newspaper as if he were holding a photo, his face expressionless.
The invisible domineering color surged, and the walls, houses, and floors were shaking continuously... No pirate from the Beasts Pirates dared to approach Kaido who was in a bad mood.
Suddenly, Kaido said coldly: "If you want to see it so much, then get down here quickly."
On the beam, there was a man in a kimono and wearing a ghost mask. Upon hearing what was said, he grabbed the mace hanging from his waist and jumped down.
"Since you're a pirate, just reach out and grab what you want." Kaido threw the newspaper behind him and grabbed his mace, "I'm just in the mood for a fight! Stupid son, let's see if you can survive today!"
"I'm not a pirate yet!"
The man in the ghost mask swung his stick, and the end of the stick was filled with dark arrogance like a ribbon. "But I heard that something great happened in the newspaper... I really want to read about it!"
"Thunderous Bagua!!"
The domineering colors in the battle soared into the sky, almost causing half of the island to sway slightly...
~~~~~~~~~~~ 〖The Grand Line, the first half——〗
[Kraikana Island, Kingdom of Sikaial]
Rose was surprised and asked, "World Conference? Isn't it held next year?"
