Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 152 The New Four Emperors? The Turbulent Sea

"And apart from themselves, there is no one else on this vast sea who can stand shoulder to shoulder with them."

"Without a doubt, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard, Kaido of the Beasts, Big Mom, and Suzuki the Traveler are like the new generation of sea emperors, unparalleled and the strongest rulers capable of dominating the New World!"

……

The New World, the Whitebeard Pirates' ship—the Moby Dick.

"Gurrah... This little traveler has done something truly remarkable!" Edward Newgate the Whitebeard laughed heartily.

Marco, the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, leaned over to look at the newspaper, his face immediately showing shock, and he exclaimed:

Impel Down has been emptied?!

"How is that possible? Even the Golden Lion, who is on par with you, Father,..."

On the Moby Dick, several squad leaders quickly surrounded them.

"This...this...are travelers really that crazy?!" Fourth Division Captain Sachi's eyes widened.

"He's got quite a bloodthirsty streak. I heard he's a swordsman too." Fifth Division Captain Vista looked at the photo of Suzuki holding a sword in the newspaper with a fighting spirit on his face.

"That's really terrifying, but how did he do it? Impel Down's forces aren't weak either." Third Division Captain Diamond Jozu looked puzzled.

"Hey, don't push, Dad! Let us see too..."

Besides the squad leaders, many other crew members on Whitebeard's ship were also full of curiosity and gathered around.

The white-bearded man smiled and casually tossed the newspaper to his curious sons.

"They actually slaughtered all the prisoners in Impel Down! A bounty of 2.5 billion Berries, that's terrifying, Traveler..."

"Yes, I didn't expect that such a terrifying newcomer would appear on the sea only a few years after the Pirate King died."

"Has he never been to the New World before?"

"Yes, you see it in the newspaper. It seems the traveler is preparing to form a pirate crew and then come to the New World."

"Wait... this is... one of the Four Emperors?"

"Old Man, Kaido, Big Mom, and this traveler—is this newspaper just making things up?"

The crew of the Whitebeard Pirates were immediately displeased.

"How can you put Dad in the same category as those three? Dad is the strongest in the world, the strongest!"

"The World News is getting more and more ridiculous. Those three are the Three Emperors, but Old Man should be the only Pirate King."

"Exactly! What kind of traveler Kaido is he? How can he compare to Old Man Teach? Don't you think so?"

A member of the Whitebeard Pirates' second division tilted his head and spoke to his teammate.

"Thief, hahaha, yeah, yeah..."

Marshall D. Teach, with his black beard, nodded with a good-natured smile, then looked down at the newspaper in his hand, his face full of gloom.

For some reason, he always felt empty inside.

……

The New World, Wano Country, Onigashima.

The headquarters lobby of the Beasts Pirates.

"Heh, this kid's not bad. Why didn't I think of killing everyone in Impel Down back then?" Kaido slammed his fist on the armrest of his chair, looking regretful.

"This traveler... his bounty has skyrocketed to 2.5 billion Berries, and he's even preparing to form a pirate crew. If he really comes to the New World, we're probably going to face another formidable opponent, Mr. Kaido."

Standing to the side, King the Wildfire looked at the newspaper report with a serious expression.

"Jin, you're going too far. A bounty doesn't mean anything." Kaido scoffed, taking a swig of his drink before glancing at the newspaper. "What good is a brat's bounty...?"

"Huh?? The Four Emperors???"

The armrest of the seat was suddenly crushed.

Kaido stood up, exuding an incredibly terrifying aura, his expression ferocious, his teeth clenched:

"What kind of bullshit Four Emperors are you talking about? I want the Pirate King!"

"World Government... Navy... Morgans... What the hell are these bastards spouting? Damn it, a bunch of damn scum!"

……

A new world, a vast ocean of nations.

"The Four Emperors? Mommy, now we can eat even more desserts, Mommy, Mommy..."

Charlotte Linlin, whose figure had become completely bloated, looked at the newspaper in her hand and laughed, preparing to hold another tea party.

……

The island of Vermeeryu floats thousands of meters above the East China Sea.

"Lord Shiki, look! Besides you, someone else has escaped from the city!" Indigo, the doctor of the Flying Pirates, exclaimed in shock, holding Suzuki's bounty poster.

"Hehehehe... Is that so? Let me see."

Shiki, the golden lion with a ship's wheel stuck in his head, arrogantly accepted the newspaper.

Just when Indigo thought his captain would show surprise or anger.

"Huh? Where did this rooster come from?" the golden lion said abruptly, pointing at the mirror.

"..." Indigo froze for a moment, then shouted, "That's yourself, Captain!"

"Huh? Is that me? Hehehehehe..." Shiki the Golden Lion looked surprised, then laughed and continued reading the newspaper in his hand.

However, as they watched, the expression on the face of this great pirate, who had once stood shoulder to shoulder with Whitebeard and Roger, gradually turned ugly.

Shiki the Golden Lion pointed at the newspaper and angrily shouted:

"Four Emperors? What a load of rubbish!"

"I'm not dead yet! Newgate is one thing, but when did the ocean become a place for these kids to play house and rule? It's ridiculous!"

"The Navy... the World Government..." With that, Golden Lion snorted coldly, "Hmph, once the beast is fully bred, I'll show you what a real pirate is!"

The golden lion looked at the ferocious beast on the island, its gaze filled with icy killing intent.

……

On a small island in the East China Sea.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Suzuki to become one of the Four Emperors now. It seems that Mihawk is also about to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Time really flies."

Red-haired Shanks looked at the newspaper in his hand and laughed loudly, then downed the wine in his bowl in one gulp.

"Yeah, one of the Four Emperors, one of the greatest swordsmen, Shanks, right now you're the worst off."

Red-Haired Pirates' vice-captain Ben Beckman glanced at his captain and said with narrowed eyes.

"Hahaha, that's right, the captain is really useless..."

"Our incompetent captain, hahaha..."

The other members of the Red-Haired Pirates, who were drinking and eating meat nearby, also began to mock Shanks.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Shanks laughed heartily, seemingly unconcerned, and then stood up.

He drew his griffin from his waist, pointed it to the distant sky, and confidently addressed his crew, speaking with great passion:

"In that case, it's time for us to head to the Grand Line, my friends! Let's become the fifth Emperor of the Seas!"

"Okay!" "No problem." "Of course!"

……

East China Sea, Windmill Village, Banquet Bar.

"Luffy~ you're always reading pirate newspapers, Garp will beat you up again when he gets back..." The tavern owner, Makino, looked helplessly at a little boy sitting on a stool in front of the bar.

"Don't worry, no way. Grandpa seems to be very busy lately," Monkey D. Luffy replied casually, then looked at the newspaper in his hand.

"Wow, the Four Emperors are so cool... Traveler is really amazing!"

Looking at Suzuki's handsome photo, young Luffy's eyes sparkled with longing and envy.

……

East Sea, Frostmoon Village.

Shimotsuki Kendo Dojo.

"Teacher, teacher, I heard that the traveler once studied swordsmanship at our dojo?"

"Yes, not only him, Hawkeye Mihawk has been here too."

"Wow--"

Shimotsuki Koshiro chuckled as he answered the curious students, then glanced at the newspaper and couldn't help but sigh:

"I never imagined that Suzuki would reach this level in just a few short years. It's truly remarkable!"

"Damn it, no way! I need to train twice as hard!" Seeing the satisfaction in his teacher's eyes, the competitive young Zoro turned to a spirited young swordswoman and shouted:

"Hey, Kuina, come quick! I want to have my 329th duel with you!"

……

Revolutionary Army Headquarters, Baltigue.

Inside the dimly lit underground hall.

"Hip hop~"

"Robin-chan... your Suzuki brother has escaped~"

"I told you, the traveler is really amazing. See, now you won't be nagging me about going to Impel Down anymore, right?"

Revolutionary Army cadre and Queen of the Kamabakka Kingdom—Embrio Ivankov, the Queen of the Okama Kingdom—dances to Robin's side.

"Really? Suzuki-nii escaped from Impel Down?" Robin exclaimed excitedly, rushing over to pick up the newspaper and start reading.

"Waaaaah... It's true, that's so great..."

Robin, now a beautiful young woman with a curvaceous figure, looked at Suzuki's photo in the newspaper and wept tears of joy.

……

The New World, the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

Doflamingo looked at the bounty poster with shock on his face, and then his heart was filled with jealousy and disgust.

He couldn't accept that they were both rookies who debuted together in Loguetown, but now he didn't even have a fraction of Suzuki's level.

Amidst a sea of ​​yellow sand, Crocodile, having learned of Suzuki's deeds and the amount of his bounty, gazed at the capital of the Alabasta Kingdom with a cigar in his mouth and an uncertain expression.

Meanwhile, countless pirates also saw the newspaper, including some powerful and formidable pirates.

"How terrifying, Traveler! He even swept through Impel Down!"

"A bounty of 2.5 billion Berries? Good heavens, this...this..."

"Four Emperors? How can there be so many terrifying pirates?"

"Kill! Kill them, and we'll be the Four Emperors!"

"What kind of bullshit Four Emperors are they? I don't recognize them at all!"

"Damn it, a brat like the Traveler can rule the seas? It should be me! Men, set sail!"

"Kill! Charge!"

"..."

The sea gradually became more turbulent.

……

In a hotel in Water Seven, the first half of the Grand Line.

Suzuki looked at the World News newspaper in his hand, speechless.

Forming a pirate crew? Becoming one of the Four Emperors? Unstoppable?

"Heh, Morgans really knows how to make things up..."

Suzuki smiled and shook his head.

After sorting through his loot from the trip to Impel Down, he sat cross-legged on the bed with a calm expression, quietly waiting for the moment of his return.
