A world that is calm, but definitely not peaceful.

As everyone was getting busy, as always, the World Economic Herald was distributed by albatrosses to buyers around the world...

And then the world was shaken!

Everyone in the world...

None...

exception!

The sudden emergence of a young marine, who bares his fangs at Kaido, the "Four Emperors" who has been unshakeable for decades!

The first to be targeted were the two generations of "Drought" under Kaido's command!

That's what it said in the newspaper...

The marine who was secretly recruited to Marineford by the Navy Headquarters through a global recruitment drive was a young man in his twenties. Coming from the East Blue, he wanted to realize his ambitions and demonstrate the justice in his heart, becoming another figure of faith in the hearts of the Marines after the "Hero" Garp!

He set his sights on the battles that would make him famous, targeting Hanafuzha, the former top member of the Beasts Pirates and now one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, as well as Jack the Drought!

These two notorious pirates, whose fame shook the entire Grand Line, were easily defeated by the Navy Headquarters' secret weapon, Suan, who even killed them on the spot!

no doubt!

This incident was a declaration of war by the Marine Headquarters against the Four Emperors, and it was also a great victory for the Marine Headquarters!

……

Marine Headquarters, Marineford

"..."

Zhan Guo held today's World Economic News in his hand, his expression somber.

"I...we've already contacted Morgans, but he probably knew that deliberately writing such a report would get us looking for him, so he ran away again."

The rear admiral standing in front of the desk spoke cautiously.

Zhan Guo placed the newspaper on the table, his expression showing no sign of easing.

The newspapers were filled with reports about Su An, while the issue that the Navy had requested Morgans to report on—why the "Lizard King" was removed from the list and even deleted—was also reported, but it was placed on the second page.

In other words...

These news reporters have completely distorted the focus of the news in order to sensationalize this matter!

Navy Headquarters Chief of Staff Tsuru picked up the hot tea in front of him and said, "In the past, the removal of a Shichibukai from the ranks would have been big news, but businessmen have their own ways of doing things. Expecting Morgans to report according to our wishes was impossible to achieve, especially since he's making a huge profit from this."

Sengoku clenched his fist, then looked up at the major general in front of him: "There's no need to contact him again. Since that bastard dared to do this, he must have made preparations. There's no need to waste time on this."

The major general immediately saluted.

Sengoku continued, "Notify the marines monitoring the Beasts Pirates and Whitebeard's crew. There can be absolutely no oversight! With Morgans's report inciting them like this, things are bound to get even more serious!"

The major general saluted again, then hurriedly turned around.

Tsuru glanced at Sengoku: "I'm not trying to excuse Morgans. Although he escalated the situation and shifted the conflict a bit, he undoubtedly emphasized Suan's existence. Although that bastard went a little too far, it's obvious that the young soldiers' morale will be greatly boosted when they see Suan's age and the detailed account of Suan in the reports."

"That kid, Peacock, is more attentive to training than before, even though he still talks about things like going to and from get off work."

Sengoku continued reading the newspaper without denying the fact, and right next to the report was a clear photograph of Suan being greeted by lieutenant generals at the port.

And right next to the photo was a title.

[A new hero for the Navy?]

……

Wano Country, Onigashima

The members of the Beasts Pirates all looked at the man sitting on the throne in the enormous palace with grim expressions.

The man held a newspaper in one hand and covered his face with the other, tears clearly visible between his fingers.

Similarly, many people had sadness on their faces, and many more were constantly shedding tears.

Two young people, a man and a woman, stood there with their fists clenched, their faces filled with grief and indignation, tears streaming down their faces.

King, one of the Three Disasters, stood below Kaido's throne. "Brother Kaido, should I go find Doflamingo and ask him why the Marines suddenly appeared at the place where Hanafuda and Jack were trading? After all, besides us, only he knows the location of that place."

"Waaaaah~~~"

A sob escaped Kaido's throat, "Hanafuda, Jack..."

"Hanafzai, what do you mean you want to leave me and become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? What nonsense are you spouting..."

"You are stronger than me, and since you aspire to be the 'strongest,' I naturally must assist you in ascending the throne. Therefore, I must temporarily leave your side to help you acquire more Devil Fruits and recruit more subordinates!"

"Hehehehe, what about Runti and Paget? Did I take care of them?"

"Okay! Thank you for your help!"

……

"Hey, you little fishman brat, what's your name...?"

"Jack!"

"If you have nowhere to go, want to come work for me? I have a place for you here!"

……

As the man known as the Beast murmured the name of his good brother, memories of the two of them surfaced in his mind.

"Why are you two..."

Snapped!

Kaido clenched the newspaper in his hand, then, tears streaming down his face, suddenly roared, "Didn't we agree to ascend the throne together?!"

With a roar, black lightning crackled around him, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be shaken in an instant.

The members of the Beasts Pirates instinctively trembled.

Those who were weaker simply knelt on the ground.

"What's going on here? Wasn't there supposed to be a party today?"

But at that moment, a short man with many followers walked over with a grin.

And upon hearing this sound...

Kaido turned his head to look over.

It only took a moment!

Wow!

The moment Kaido looked over, he transformed into a giant blue dragon and pounced directly at the man.

The man was startled when he saw this!

immediately!

A claw the size of a house pinned the man to the ground!

boom!

A huge crater appeared in the ground in an instant!

And the enormous dragon head, the size of a palace, hung low, tears glistening in its eyes, staring intently at the short, ugly man. "You want to hold a party while my two brothers are dead?"

The person pinned to the ground had a look of panic on their face, and their pants were completely soaked.

Even the people around were so frightened that they fell to the ground!

Just because of what appeared before their eyes!

It is a terrifying entity capable of entangling an entire palace!

The oppressive atmosphere was overwhelming, making everyone feel suffocated!

……

Marineford.

It is located at the base behind the Marineford Naval Headquarters.

Su An was standing in front of a pastry shop.

All eyes were on him.
