Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

He enjoys the "thrill" of his newspaper igniting the world.

This is a thrill that only journalists can experience.

He felt a sense of joy whenever he thought about how the entire ocean was shaken and awe-inspired because of his report.

Nothing can replace this joy!

"But President, we haven't communicated with the World Government or the Navy yet."

A staff member cautioned Moore, "If we were to disclose these two matters rashly, I'm afraid..."

"Let them die!"

Morgons is unusually assertive; perhaps he's been blinded by the big news?

He grinned, revealing his feathered arms: "They can't suppress something this important!"

"Not to mention the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the death of Crocodile Crocodile was witnessed by many."

“The World Government can’t keep it a secret any longer. Even if we don’t report it, the news will definitely spread through various channels.”

Do you want our business to be stolen by others?

The World Economic News has a cooperative relationship with the World Government, but they are not in a superior-subordinate relationship.

World governments can interfere in certain aspects of the World Economic News Agency's publication and dissemination of newspapers and periodicals.

This is because Morgons did not want to completely offend the World Government.

However, the decision to publish the newspaper always rested with Mooreguns…

The World Government could no longer hide the defeat of the two Shichibukai.

Various forces are intertwined across the ocean.

What channels are missing?

Even without the World Economic News, this news would have spread across the ocean through various channels.

If the news couldn't be suppressed, he would publish the newspaper without actually angering the world government...

"Wait a minute, President, don't make a decision so quickly..."

"Huh? What are you talking about, you idiot? We're not allowed to report this kind of news. Are you planning to let those damn competitors steal our business?"

"No...no, President, that's not what I meant!"

The subordinate who had just spoken quickly offered an explanation.

His excitement was even greater than that of Morgons.

Taking a deep breath, he shouted, "Our colleagues stationed in Alabasta have sent us new information, and this time it's even more explosive!"

"The black-haired swordsman encountered former Marine Admiral 'Black Arm' Zeff, and the two fought in Alabasta."

"In the end... even Zephyr couldn't defeat the black-haired swordsman; their battle was evenly matched!"

"What did you say!?"

Upon hearing this, Morgons' eyes narrowed to pinpoints, and his voice rose an octave.

His face showed a series of expressions, including surprise, shock, and disbelief.

Finally, it turned into utter excitement: "Quick! Give me the documents!!"

"Wow! This is amazing!"

Looking at the intelligence file and the detailed descriptions, Morgons couldn't help but gasp.

Judging from some details in the photographs, he could tell how terrible and dangerous that battle was...

Morgons laughed again: "This is the real big news! Hahaha, the title of the most ferocious rookie is truly well-deserved for the black-haired swordsman!"

"Everyone, stop working and prepare yourselves mentally. We'll distribute the newspapers once the new reward notice is issued!"

"Hehehe, the World Government and Navy probably don't know that we have this intelligence, do they?"

"Everyone in this world has the right to know what happens at sea, and we... are the eyes and ears of everyone at sea!"

……

Marineford, Naval Headquarters.

In a meeting room.

Two rows of people sat on either side, their faces grave.

The atmosphere in the room was heavy and oppressive, clearly indicating that the reason for this meeting was known...

"I will chair this meeting as well..."

Naval Headquarters Major Blanche stood on the conference platform.

His deep voice echoed in the silent, oppressive meeting room: "I won't waste any more time on nonsense. The reasons for convening this meeting are already laid out on your desks."

"I suppose you've all seen the documents by now?"

After a brief opening, Brannew continued:

"On Kureha Island, one of the participants in the Loguetown incident, 'Fire Fist' Ace, whose initial bounty was 77 million Berries, clashed with 'Tyrannosaurus' Hanafuda, captain of the Tyrannosaurus Rex merchant ship F, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

"This battle ended with Fire Fist Ace emerging victorious!"

"This is an unimaginable thing. A newcomer who has only recently embarked on the Grand Line has made such a huge improvement in strength in such a short period of time."

"This is the most powerful demonstration of the opponent's terrifying potential and strength."

"Seventy-seven million Berries is not enough to describe the ferocity of the other side!"

With a 'snap' sound.

Brannew slammed a brand-new wanted poster onto the whiteboard behind him.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Therefore, in the high-level meeting just now, the generals who participated have already drawn up a new bounty for this newcomer!"

"Captain of Spade F, Portgas D. Ace, who ate the Logia-type Mera Mera no Mi (Flame-Flame Fruit), is a master of Conqueror's Haki and has a basic grasp of Armament Haki."

"Defeated one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, 'Tyrannosaurus' Hanafuda, in the battle of Kureshivi Island!"

"Although the information indicates that 'Tyrannosaurus' Hanafuda was defeated due to carelessness, it is enough to show that 'Fire Fist' Ace is a man of extraordinary strength!"

"His bounty has been increased from 77 million Berries to 250 million Berries!"

"In addition to 'Fire Fist' Ace, there are other figures above Spade Box F who should not be overlooked."

"They demonstrated considerable strength in this incident, and we need to determine the specific reward amount..."

"..."

Afterwards, the issue of serotonin in the meeting room was discussed.

The final reward was set for the other two...

"Now that the matter of Spade International has been resolved."

After finishing processing Spade Merchant F, Brannew paused for a moment.

His voice then turned serious, carrying a distinct air of solemnity and gravity: "Now... let's discuss another person..."

Another person...

Everyone present knew who they were referring to.

No one spoke in the meeting room, and their faces all became serious and solemn.

The atmosphere in the room became even more oppressive...

"The black-haired swordsman, with a bounty of 130 million Berries, is the instigator of the Loguetown incident."

Brannew's voice was solemn: "Rear Admiral Dalitz, who had made outstanding contributions to the Navy and was about to retire, died at the hands of the black-haired swordsman."

"The black-haired swordsman's ferocity is unprecedented in that area of ​​the East China Sea!"

"His first bounty exceeded 100 million, and he's rumored to be the 'most ferocious newcomer' on the high seas; his threat needs no further explanation..."

"But their viciousness doesn't stop there!"

"After the Loguetown incident, they embarked on the Grand Line. I thought they would disappear and keep a low profile."

"But everyone underestimated this person, underestimated his viciousness!"

"After embarking on the Grand Line, their goal was clearly to head to Alabasta, setting their sights on Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

Brannew glanced at everyone present.

His voice lowered: "It's no coincidence that they went after Crocodile!"

"According to the experts, no matter which route the black-haired swordsman took, it would be impossible for him to reach Alabasta in such a short time!"

"Unless this is a premeditated attack!"

"Whether it was seeking revenge or trying to gain fame by stepping on the Seven Warlords of the Sea, as you all know, Crocodile was defeated and killed by his opponent!"

"This battle revealed the enemy's ferocity without reservation!"

"The last and most serious thing..."

At this point, Brannew paused again, as if he were choosing his words carefully or digesting this astonishing news.

The meeting room was completely silent.

They clearly knew what Brannew was going to say next.

That would be enough to shake the Navy.

“Instructor Zephyr, who happened to be on a mission in the waters near St. Ting Island, received a message from Marshal Sengoku.”

"To eliminate this threat, and to avenge Major General Dalitz who died in the line of duty..."

Two seconds later, Brannew spoke again.

Even though he had seen this news more than once, he was still shocked: "Instructor Zephyr has approached the black-haired swordsman and engaged in a battle with him!"

"This battle..."

"No result has been determined!"

"Even Instructor Zefa couldn't do anything about them; they got away!"

Who is Ze Fa?

Everyone present knew this.

Former Navy Admiral!

Many of those present had grown up under Zephyr's tutelage...

The title of "former general" alone speaks volumes about Zephyr's terrifying strength.

In the end, Zephyr fought the black-haired swordsman to a draw, and Zephyr was able to escape...

What this means is clear to many people!

"I don't need to elaborate on Instructor Zefa's abilities; you all know them."

Brannew took a deep breath: "The Black-Haired Swordsman Rocks, the instigator of the Loguetown incident, the one who killed Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and fought Zeff without being at a disadvantage!"

"According to Instructor Zefa's information."

"The opponent's abilities include launching energy attacks comparable to cannonballs, possessing superhuman regenerative abilities, being a user of Conqueror's Haki, being proficient in both types of Haki, excelling in close combat, and also being a swordsman..."

"Through assessment of the opponent's strength, potential, and the degree of threat they pose to the world government and navy..."

"At a recent high-level meeting, after discussions among the members, the bounty was originally set at 880 million Berries..."

880 million peles is very high.

But for someone who could fight Zephyr to a draw, it's not an exaggeration...

"880 million peles?"

"Is the reward that high?"

Upon hearing the figure of 880 million peles, everyone present gasped.

It jumped from 130 million Berries to 880 million Berries in an instant.

This is only the second time they've put a reward on your head!
