"In less than a year, this pirate trio that suddenly appeared on the sea seemed to have materialized out of nowhere, with bounties reaching such terrifying levels.
Moreover, the bounty of the "Eternal Angel" Grimm had reached a staggering 950 million, making him one of the strongest people on the seas. At the same time, the capture requirement changed from "alive capture only" to "alive or dead, not applicable."
Concurrently, a report on the abilities of the trio was delivered to the old general.
Fought with Hundred Beasts Kaido on Byrnblus for more than several days and nights, eventually stopping due to Vice Admiral Garp's intervention. Then, the Frost Witch repelled Vice Admiral Sakazuki and escaped under extremely powerful cannon fire.
Abilities: Unknown
Known Abilities: Physical Regeneration (regardless of the severity of the injury, it can be quickly healed or revived, but there seems to be a limitation)
A greatsword, incredibly sharp, capable of easily piercing Kaido's skin. Visually estimated to be of O-Wazamono (Great Grade) level or higher.
A giant hammer capable of delivering attacks with tens of thousands of force.
Golden Light Wings: Grants flight ability upon activation, and significantly enhances strength and speed.
...
After reading the pile of documents, Sybal sighed. He was about to retire, and unexpectedly, at such a time, a monster like this appeared, and so young.
Bang!
Just as Sybal put down the documents, one of his subordinates, a Navy Lieutenant Commander, rushed in.
Seeing the other party in such a flustered state, Sybal asked with great displeasure: "As a Marine, why are you so flustered? What kind of conduct is this?"
"Y-yes, I'm sorry, Vice Admiral!"
After catching his breath, the Navy Lieutenant Commander transmitted a new document to Sybal: "This is intelligence information sent to all branches by Marine Headquarters as soon as possible!"
"En?"
Sybal's expression tensed. It had been less than two days since Grimm's information and his new wanted poster were issued, how could there be a new one so quickly?
When Sybal opened the file and flipped through it, the contents on the paper made his eye twitch fiercely.
[Hundred Beasts Kaido, escaped during his escort to Impel Down from Headquarters!]
"What's going on? What is that brat Garp doing?"
Sybal thought in confusion. The news of Kaido's capture by Garp hadn't even been three days old before he escaped again?
After finishing the document, Sybal finally understood the entire sequence of events.
Because the Roger Pirates caused trouble in the New World, Garp left Marine Headquarters immediately, neglecting Kong's order to send Kaido to Impel Down.
The escort for Kaido was handled by two newly promoted Vice Admirals, Sakazuki and Kuzan.
As a result, Kaido broke free during the process, transformed into a dragon, and flew away. Before leaving, he unleashed a dragon breath, sinking three warships.
Sybal rubbed his temples and asked the Lieutenant Commander to leave. He then took out a Den Den Mushi to report the situation he had understood to Headquarters.
Before issuing wanted posters and global news bulletins, Marine Headquarters would first inform its own personnel to prepare them, and then announce it to the world.
Of course, if some reporters were informed first, that would be another matter!
Only for matters concerning the Marines and the Government themselves would this method be adopted.
...
In this world of the sea, those incredibly strong individuals are called "Legends." Although this term only became popular after Roger's death, Roger was already nearing his twilight years. Now, more and more people are calling them "Legendary Great Pirates"!
The three major combat powers in the Navy—Iron Fist Garp, Black Arm Zephyr, the Buddha Sengoku—are all known as legends. On the pirate side, only a few living individuals can be called legends: Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and the lone wolf Red, the World Destroyer.
Although it seems like there are more legendary pirates, in reality, the strong pirates are propped up by these few legendary pirates. The Navy, on the other hand, has a perfect organizational structure, and they are united, so they cannot be shaken.
The first half of the Grand Line is almost a nightmare for pirates. Those who can enter the second half are elites, or those with Conqueror's Haki luck.
Below these legends are the Hundred Beasts Kaido, who likes to commit suicide, and Charlotte Linlin, who goes around looking for men to bear children in heat.
However, now, another person has emerged, with news and a wanted poster released to the world today.
The one who fought Hundred Beasts Kaido to a draw.
Eternal Angel Grimm, Bounty: 950,000,000 Beli.
In today's news, the first page is about Grimm's information, his new wanted poster, and the news of his battle with Kaido.
The second page is about Kaido sinking warships during his escort to headquarters and escaping.
Compared to the detailed information about Grimm on the first page, Kaido's incident is much more concise. After all, it's an embarrassing matter for the Navy, so it naturally cannot be written in great detail.
Because the incident occurred on a deserted island, only the Marines and some members of the Beasts Pirates were aware of it. Naturally, the control of information lay with the Marines.
After Kaido escaped, he stumbled his way to the first half of the Grand Line, and his crew had no choice but to go there to pick up their captain.
Kuzan finally understood why Kaido's subordinates weren't panicked when they saw their captain captured. It was simple.
None of us can fly, damn it. It's so frustrating.
Even with Moon Walk, they couldn't possibly catch up to someone flying that fast.
Kaido and Grimm, individuals below the "Legend" tier, have become the focus of attention for everyone in a short period.
One step away from being a legend. The term "below legend" is used to describe those just below the level of Roger and Whitebeard. At this time, the world has bestowed this title upon Grimm.
Below Legend!
This title is somewhat similar to the titles of Luffy and Blackbeard in the "Worst Generation" twenty years later.
Luffy, Kid, Law, and the other eleven Supernovas, along with Blackbeard, are called the Worst Generation. And twenty years ago, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were called "Below Legend."
In other words, in the pirate world, except for the level of Whitebeard and Roger, no one could do anything to them. And today, another person has joined this ranks.
Tirion D. Grimm
Because he fought Hundred Beasts Kaido for five days and five nights and fought to a draw, people are gradually beginning to rank him among the "Below Legend" tier.
However, Grimm felt no joy about this.
Nonsense. Below Legend, in plain terms, is still not a Legend. Still one step away.
There are people above him. What's there to be happy about?
Putting this matter aside for the moment, Grimm recorded the coordinates of Byrnblus Island in the Sea King's map system. The next time he came, he could directly navigate and track it automatically, which was very convenient.
