One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

After reading it, Morgans was completely devastated.

He slumped in the chair, his wings drooping, his mouth wide open enough to fit an apple.

"The Five Elders... you chopped off their heads..."

"Just report the facts; there's no need to embellish them."

Roy picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"The facts themselves are explosive enough."

Morgans looked at Roy with the eyes of someone looking at a madman, then suddenly jumped up from his chair, grabbed the video Den Den Mushi, and rushed outside.

"Just wait! In three days! The whole world will know what happened!"

He rushed to the door, then slammed on the brakes, turned around, and shouted:

"I'm deciding the headline for this news story! You're not allowed to change it!"

Roy waved his hand.

Three days later, the newsbird scattered the newspaper all over the world.

The front-page headline consisted of only one line of bold, black text, occupying a third of the entire page:

"Marineford has fallen! One of the Five Elders, Satan, has perished! Marine Headquarters is now in ruins!"

Below is a densely packed, detailed report and dozens of accompanying photos.

Each picture is accompanied by a detailed text description:

A distant view of the Marine Headquarters building riddled with holes; a freeze-frame of Sengoku, transformed into a giant Buddha, being struck head-on by Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit; Marco being punched off the execution platform by Garp.

The three admirals surrounded Whitebeard, and Straw Hat Luffy, carrying Ace, fell from the execution platform.

An overhead shot showing the shockwave from Barrett and Cap's exchange of fire overturning the ice surface within a radius of several hundred meters.

And the central image that took up half the page—the moment Roy beheaded Satan.

Although the image was somewhat blurry due to the distance, the figure's sword-wielding posture and the flying head were still clearly visible.

The image of Satan's headless body crashing to the ground was enough to shock the world.

Donghai, Windmill Village.

The tavern was packed with people.

Some people held their wine glasses but forgot to drink, while others opened their mouths but couldn't make a sound.

In the corner, the bandit Dadan covered his face with his hands, his shoulders shaking violently.

She was crying, but no sound came out.

The news mentioned Ace and Luffy—one is the son of the Pirate King, and the other is the son of Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and they are both children she watched grow up.

"Those two brats..." Dadan squeezed out a few words through his fingers, his voice so hoarse that they were barely audible.

Rouge and Maginot were also in the crowd.

Rouge looked at the photo of Ace chained to the execution platform in the newspaper, her eyes reddened but she didn't cry.

She knew her son was still alive, and that was enough.

The Grand Line, Alabasta Palace.

Weiwei stood on the balcony, covering her mouth with both hands.

The pictures in the newspapers were shocking—Marine Fondo was reduced to ruins, and corpses littered the ice.

In those blurry distant views, she saw that familiar figure.

Luffy.

They were also in that war.

"Princess Vivi, what's wrong?" a servant asked from behind.

Vivi took a deep breath and put down the newspaper: "It's nothing, I'm just... a little worried about my friend."

Twin Point.

Crocus sat under the lighthouse, holding a newspaper in his hands, and read it for a long time.

Uncle Hua peeked over from the side, glanced at the headline, and fell silent.

"Roger's son is still alive."

Crocus's voice was hoarse and deep.

"That Newgate guy... he really went down in a heroic way."

He closed the newspaper, looked at the distant sea, and the lighthouse light reflected in his murky eyes.

A new world, on a winter island.

The Red-Haired Pirates' fleet was anchored in the snowstorm.

Shanks stood at the bow of the ship, holding the newspaper that had just been delivered.

He stared at the picture of Roy beheading Satan, then at the accompanying image of Whitebeard fighting the three generals alone, and remained silent for a long time.

"Beckman".

"Um?"

"Whitebeard is gone."

"I know."

"Ace is alive, and Luffy is alive too. This is the best outcome."

Beckman took a drag of his cigarette.

"It's much better than we expected."

"That Roy guy, he's got everyone wrapped around his little finger."

Shanks didn't reply, but simply folded the newspaper and stuffed it into his pocket.

While ordinary people and nobles around the world did not know who the Five Elders were, countless people were thrown into panic upon seeing the fall of the Marine Headquarters.

However, many ambitious individuals have also begun preparing to go to sea.

Mary Geoise, Between Powers.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

The four elders sat around a round table, with the newspaper that made their blood pressure spike spread out in front of them.

Piet Saint's face was so dark it seemed to drip water. He slammed the newspaper down on the table, his blond hair and beard trembling.

"Morgans! How dare he—"

"There's no point in pursuing Morgans now."

Mars adjusted his glasses.

"Newspapers have been spread all over the world, and everyone knows that Saint Satan is dead and that the Naval Headquarters has been reduced to ruins."

Our top priority now is to restore our credibility.

"How can I win him back?"

Sacred Vociul sneered.

"Killed Whitebeard?"

The Navy did it—but nobody cares!

Everyone's talking about Roy beheading Satan!

Nasujiro remained silent, his fingers unconsciously stroking the hilt of the Onikiri sword at his waist.

He knew what Satan's death meant—for eight hundred years, none of the Five Elders had ever died in battle.

They are the highest symbols of power in the world government, and an immortal legend.

But now that legend has been shattered by Roy's single strike.

The whole world has seen it; the Five Elders can also die and have their heads chopped off.

This psychological impact is more deadly than any physical attack.

While the World Government was discussing how to deal with the situation, Roy was adding fuel to the fire of the raging sea.

Beehive Island, Central Conference Room.

Roy sat in the main seat, with a Den Den Mushi (sound-activated electric scooter) in front of him.

Tezzolo was adjusting the equipment nearby to ensure that the live broadcast signal could cover all the islands that could receive the signal.

"Ready?" Tesoro gave a thumbs up.

Roy nodded and pressed the button on the Den Den Mushi.

In that instant, every screen in the world that could receive the live broadcast signal lit up simultaneously.

The giant screens of the Sabaody Archipelago, the broadcast towers of Water 7, the plaza screens of Alabasta, and the tiny Den Den Mushi on countless pirate ships—all were forcibly connected to the same screen.

In the scene, Roy is sitting on a simple wooden chair, while Black Knife Autumn Water leans against the armrest, looking as calm as if they are having a chat over tea.

Good afternoon, everyone in the world.

His voice traveled across the world via radio waves, reaching the ears of everyone listening.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Roy, and I am the captain of Beehive Island."

You've probably already seen what happened in Marineford three days ago in the newspapers.

Roy adjusted his posture slightly and continued in that eerily calm tone,

"I want to formally announce to the world."

As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the whole world seemed to freeze for a moment.

In the power chambers of Mary Geoise, the four Elders stood up simultaneously.

In the conference room at Marine Headquarters, Sengoku's fist shattered the table, and Akainu's eyes burned with rage.
