Just as Blake fell into a dream, the sea was already in an uproar due to last night's events.
Although the battle in Mary Geoise was too intense, with various Haoshoku sweeping across the battlefield, Morgans couldn't find the best shooting location.
The eventual appearance of Imu and his all-encompassing Haoshoku even prevented him from getting a single decent photograph.
However, through earlier footage and some leaked intelligence from the World Government, Morgans was able to roughly reconstruct the sequence of events.
"Big news! This is truly the biggest news in twenty years!"
In his office, Morgans looked at the intelligence that had been sent back. The hand holding the fax was trembling uncontrollably, veins bulging from excitement.
Slam!
He slammed the fax onto the table, grabbed a pen, and began writing furiously.
As he wrote, he kept muttering, "Big news."
A nearby employee shivered, cautiously saying:
"Mr... Mr. President! Reporting this directly will anger the World Government!"
Morgans didn't even lift his head, continuing to write on the paper:
"Fool! The soul of news is the truth!"
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll send you to interview Kaido!"
The employee was too scared to speak. Morgans murmured in a low voice:
"If news like this needs to be embellished, I might as well go write a food column for Charlotte Linlin!"
Half an hour later, the printing presses of the World Economy News Paper began spewing thick smoke.
Newspaper birds flew like snowflakes to all corners of the world, quickly spreading the news of the attack on Mary Geoise across the sea.
[Earth-shattering Headline! The Sun and the Dragon Descend Simultaneously! Mary Geoise Engulfed in Flames!]
[Shocking! Fishman Fisher Tiger Raids the Holy Land! Ignites the Fire of Liberation!]
[World Government's Nightmare Has Arrived!]
[The Trembling Red Line! The Era of the World Government May Be Coming to an End!]
This guy, who loved a good show and dared to publish anything, even wrote on the newspaper that the World Government was on its last legs.
So, this time, the World Economy News Paper was not advertising for the World Government; instead, it heavily criticized it.
Consequently, today's newspaper was naturally not paid for by the World Government, and its price had doubled compared to before.
However, people are naturally curious.
Moreover, even with the increased price, the newspaper was not a significant expense for those making a living on the sea.
Soon, the whole world learned about the attack on Mary Geoise last night... In the New World, on the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick.
"Pops! Something big has happened! This time, it's truly a monumental event!"
Marco waved a newspaper, running quickly to Whitebeard's side.
Whitebeard was still happily watching his sons on deck, taking the newspaper from him.
"Gurararara... What kind of big event is it? That makes you so excited?"
His gaze fell on the newspaper, his eyes narrowed, and his smile gradually disappeared.
Someone dared to directly attack the World Government's stronghold?
Were they crazy?
As someone who had witnessed the "world" under Rocks' leadership, he knew very well what terrifying power the World Government concealed.
That was a monster that even Rocks couldn't contend with.
The people mentioned in the newspaper, let alone witnessing the "world," couldn't even get past the Gorosei and the God's Knights.
Soon, others gathered around, beginning to comment on the newspaper's content.
"Why isn't there even a close-up photo?"
"Who is Tiger?"
"The Celestial Dragons' expressions must be very interesting!"
"The Revolutionary Army is a pity, but it's always good for the Celestial Dragons to have bad luck."
"The World Government only dares to bully these small fries."
"Exactly! Give them a hundred guts, and they still wouldn't dare to cause trouble for us Whitebeard Pirates!"
Looking at his confident sons in front of him, Whitebeard opened his mouth, but ultimately did not speak the truth.
Knowing too much might not be a good thing; the truth might be too cruel for them.
Marco stood beside Whitebeard:
"Pops, this incident is quite big. Perhaps we shouldn't get close to the Red Line for a while."
Hearing Marco's words, the deep thought in Whitebeard's eyes quickly receded, and he let out a hearty laugh:
"Gurararara... Don't worry about things that don't concern us, Marco."
"You are my sons!"
Hearing Whitebeard's laughter, the many division commanders on the ship agreed:
"Exactly! Pops is the strongest in the world!"
"With Pops here, we have nothing to fear!"
"Awooo!"
Whitebeard ultimately did not put pressure on his sons.
Seeing them happily venturing out on the sea was Whitebeard's greatest wish in life.
"Pops will definitely protect you all!"
Whitebeard secretly made up his mind.
To be honest, Whitebeard's thinking couldn't be called right or wrong.
After all, the World Government's affairs truly had nothing to do with them, and this kind of thing was not something his division commanders could handle.
This world seems to have everyone with cultivation talent, but only a handful can truly reach the peak.
Telling them about the World Government's situation would only make them anxious and serve no practical purpose.
But conversely, without pressure, there is no motivation.
Whitebeard's sons had long lost their desire to become stronger.
Among the crowd, only a fat man in Blake looked at the newspaper casually thrown on the ground, his eyes burning with fire.
"No passage here!"
God Valley, shattered by a single sword, and Rocks' majestic back constantly appeared in his mind.
Teach clenched his fists, staring intently at the ruined Mary Geoise depicted in the newspaper.
While Whitebeard's side was discussing heatedly, the Charlotte Linlin Pirates had already started fighting the fleet led by Akainu.
Charlotte Linlin had no time to pay attention to Mary Geoise.
Wano Country, Onigashima.
King slowly landed, his wings folding, and pushed open the doors of the banquet hall.
As expected, he was the only one in the Beasts Pirates actually working; everyone else was drinking in the banquet hall.
King threw the newspaper onto the table in front of Kaido:
"Mary Geoise was burned."
Kaido struggled to open his blurry eyes, practically leaning on the table to look at the newspaper.
Queen, chewing on mochi nearby, said indifferently:
"Holy Land Mary Geoise?"
"What does that have to do with us? That should be the Marine and the World Government's headache."
"You always like to make a big fuss."
"If you're not drinking, then get out of the way and don't interrupt our banquet."
"What did you say?"
Veins bulged on King's forehead. Just as he was about to have a man-to-man showdown with Queen, a sudden cry came from Kaido at the head of the table:
"Waaah... Damn Tiger! Damn Revolutionary Army!"
"How could you not call me for such an important battle?!"
King felt his anger instantly extinguished. What could he do with such a pirate crew? He was also very helpless.
Kaido vigorously shook his head, as if he had thought of something:
"Oh, right, where's that brat who came to us last time?"
"Is this related to him?"
