Four sections on the report, each one capable of dominating the front page for several days on its own.
Yet today, they were all squeezed onto a single report.
One could imagine what kind of exaggerated repercussions today's report would trigger across the seas.
First Section–
[Ryokugyu] Aramaki, the new Marine Admiral who had served for only a year, was killed by the [Strongest Rookie in History], Uchiha Jin!
Second Section-
For the first time in 800 years, a World Noble, a Celestial Dragon, has been killed. [Pirate Empress] Boa Hancock is officially removed from the [Seven Warlords of the Sea]!
Third Section–
Blackbeard Pirates' Second Ship Captain, Shiryu of the Rain, takes away Ryokugyu's body. The Uchiha Pirates are suspected to have reached an unknown agreement with the Blackbeard Pirates.
Fourth Section-
The Fuwa Fuwa no Mi, once owned by the legendary pirate, [Golden Lion] Shiki, changes hands. Does [Paper Angel] Konan show potential on par with [Big Mom] Charlotte Linlin?
Four sections, each a bombshell news story enough to change the world's trajectory.
A Marine Admiral and a Celestial Dragon killed.
Two Emperor-level pirate crews hooking up for some reason.
A top-tier Paramecia-type Devil Fruit gains a new owner.
Each one more outrageous than the last.
And the main character, naturally, is Jin.
Because although the content of these four reports differs, each one is intricately connected to him.
The fact that he killed Aramaki goes without saying.
Hancock, who killed a Celestial Dragon and lost her Warlord title, and the little girl who ate the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi, are already members of his pirate crew.
And the fact that Shiryu could take Aramaki's body was certainly with his consent.
Although most people haven't seen Jin with their own eyes, and don't know what kind of person he really is, they are sure he wouldn't just give such a gift to the Blackbeard Pirates crew for nothing.
On one side, the most arrogant rookie pirate crew in history, daring to kill Admirals and Celestial Dragons-
On the other, an organization that secretly plotted the Summit War, became the biggest beneficiary of that war two years ago, and could be called a weakened version of the Rocks Pirates, hunting for abilities.
What are these two groups of madmen planning?
For a time, people all over the world felt as if they were experiencing again the sense of impending doom just before the Summit War two years ago.
Back then, they felt a despair as if the world was about to end.
And now, that fear has returned.
…
Compared to the four weighty reports above that attracted the attention of 99.9% of the world's population-
the report about the Straw Hat Pirates' [Cat Burglar] Nami defecting to the Uchiha Pirates, placed by Morgans in a corner and seeming the most insignificant, caused no waves at all.
After all, compared to the previous four reports, this matter was too trivial.
Previously, when she was in the Straw Hat Pirates, Nami, as a non-combatant, had low visibility.
If it was Zoro defecting, that might have caused some ripples.
However, it did attract the attention of a specific group of people.
This group was the Straw Hat Pirates themselves, and people related to or associated with them.
Grand Line, Paradise, Alabasta.
"This, this can't be… How could Nami-san possibly…"
Nefertari Vivi stammered, her words faltering as she read the report about Nami's defection in the corner of the newspaper.
Sabaody Archipelago, no, Sabaody Peninsula.
Grove 13.
At Shakky's Rip-Off Bar.
Raleigh read the newspaper, his face deep and somber.
After a long time, he silently put away the newspaper, looked up, and asked Shakky:
"Do you think Hancock was forced or…"
Shakky slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, squinting slightly.
"Before this report, I could have sworn she was forced. Now… it's hard to say."
As the former former Empress of Amazon Lily, she had even predicted that once Hancock saw the report about Luffy punching Charlos, she would definitely develop favorable feelings towards him.
She knew Hancock too well.
But precisely because of this understanding that Shakky could also concluded that Hancock's mindset must have undergone a earth-shaking change now.
Purupuru purupuru~
Just then, the Den Den Mushi behind Shakky rang.
Turning around to pick up the receiver, the Den Den Mushi emitted the voice of an old woman.
The caller was the former former former Empress of Amazon Lily, Gloriosa, usually called [Elder Nyon].
"I see."
After listening for a while, Shakky nodded and hung up.
Then she turned to Rayleigh and said:
"Amazon Lily has decided to relocate the entire tribe to Totto Land in the New World."
Because Hancock had lost her title, and with the seastone battleships developed by Vegapunk, the situation of the Island of Women had become very dangerous, forcing the entire tribe to migrate.
Hearing this, Rayleigh's eyes widened in shock again.
"Is the next target Linlin?!"
Shakky took the last drag of her cigarette and exhaled the secondhand smoke, making Rayleigh instinctively frown.
"You old retired bones better not do anything reckless. I've never seen a pirate so reckless."
As someone from the same era as Garp and Roger, Shakky had never seen a pirate like Jin.
Even that Rocks D. Xebec wasn't as crazy and reckless as Jin.
Even Rocks would more or less consider the consequences before deciding whether to act or not.
But Jin really had no such concerns.
He truly acted on impulse, killed on a whim!
It was completely unpredictable what he would do next.
If Jin knew Shakky's impression of him, he would definitely say, 'Damn, you read me like a book.'
'Anyway, I'm just here to have fun.'
'To put it bluntly, I'm just here for a good time, then leave.'
'So why worry so much?'
'The most important thing when traveling is to have fun, right?'
Raleigh didn't answer.
He just silently picked up his sword and walked out of the bar.
It wasn't that he was going to seek revenge on Jin.
He just had to go to Rusukaina Island.
Originally, the plan was to wait until the agreed-upon date for the Straw Hat Pirates a few months later and have the Kuja Pirates take Luffy back to Sabaody.
But now that their entire country was moving to the New World, of course they couldn't take care of Luffy anymore, so Raleigh had to go pick him up.
"Don't tell Monkey Boy," Shakky called out to Rayleigh's back.
If Luffy found out about Nami, anyone could guess what would happen.
…
And at the Revolutionary Army's headquarters, Baltigo.
Robin once again became the only one among the Straw Hat Pirates who saw the report.
Because Mihawk and Ivankov, who were responsible for training Zoro and Sanji respectively, both silently chose to hide the matter after seeing the report.
Their thinking was the same as Shakky's.
If they found out about this now, they would definitely go after Jin without regard for the consequences.
Would someone who kills Admirals and Celestial Dragons without hesitation show them any mercy?
In this situation, Robin became the only one in the Straw Hat crew who knew.
After all, now that she was operating with the Revolutionary Army, she needed to keep in touch with outside news constantly.
"Robin-nee, N-Nami must have been forced…"
Koala swallowed hard, forcing a smile uglier than crying, trying to comfort Robin.
Like Mihawk and Ivankov, Koala was also afraid that Robin might do something rash, like going after Jin!
"Don't worry, Koala, I believe in Nami…"
Robin smiled.
However, her trembling hands betrayed her.
She was definitely not as calm as she appeared on the surface.
"I, Is that so? Th, that's good then, heh, hehe~"
Koala forced a laugh.
But Robin's next words made Koala's smile disappear instantly.
"Next, we're going to investigate Gild Tesoro, right? Is Uchiha Jin still on that ship?"
Koala's already round eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
'N-No!'
'Y, You're not really thinking of going to find him, are you?'
…
Noon.
The scorching sunlight poured down on the giant ship, Gran Tesoro.
Originally, it's the world's largest and most luxurious entertainment city, but now, it was empty, like a dead city.
The reason for this miserable state was simple–
Because the madman, Uchiha Jin, hadn't left yet.
Slash!
On one side of the street, Rin narrowly avoided Kaku's Rankyaku at almost point-blank range.
Swinging her Chakra Scalpel, she charged forward, slashing a cut over half a meter long on her opponent's body.
"Oho ho! Finally took one down! It's been almost half a month! Not easy!"
Gyuki, as if watching a comedy show, clapped its hands excitedly.
"Tortured for half a month, even an Admiral would be about done for by now, I think."
Kurenai commented.
That's right, half a month had already passed since the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi incident.
During this period, the CP0 Agents had been serving as practice sandbags for the three girls, Konan, Rin, and Kurenai.
After a full two weeks without food or water, no matter how big the gap in strength was, Lucci and the others couldn't hold on anymore.
Moreover, by the third day, Jin, having exhausted his last drop on Hancock and Nami, had returned to Gran Tesoro from Sunny.
For the first time, he was fulfilling his duties as a Jonin Instructor.
He watched the three lolis fight while providing real-time guidance on the spot.
With a demon like Jin watching from the sidelines, the mental pressure on Lucci and his team was even more exaggerated than the physical pressure.
It was like having your homeroom teacher standing right next to you during an exam, staring down at you intently… but amplified to the extreme.
And after every few hours of fighting, Jin would let the three lolis come back to eat, then use Amaterasu's black flames to imprison the CP0 agents.
Once the lolis were full and rested, he'd dispel the Amaterasu, and they'd continue fighting.
It can be said that he was really using them like livestock.
Frankly, it was a miracle that after half a month, Lucci and the others hadn't had a complete mental breakdown yet.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Continuous explosions sounded from high above again.
Lucci, whose body still had a human contour but was covered in yellow skin with black spots, fell from the sky, crashing hard onto the ground.
The black clouds coiling around his body also dissipated.
Clearly, it was his Awakened Form.
However, Jin couldn't understand why a normal Zoan Awakening would have the same flame clouds as the Nika Fruit.
He understood even less why Gear Fifth Luffy, who could overpower Kaido, would be fighting evenly with Lucci, a former subordinate he had defeated, half a month later.
'Damn, is this the pirate version of Ash Ketchum?'
'Fighting Arceus in one region, then losing to a new trainer's Snivy in the next.'
'Could the true ability of the Nika Fruit be to force a stalemate with any opponent?'
'Becoming stronger against the strong and weaker against the weak?'
