Supernova Bonney adjusted her filter and exclaimed, "Quick, start a live stream! Title it 'New Navy Plants Its Flag!"
Zephyr stopped before the giant crater in the center of the island, his combat boots crushing charred skull flags.
As he slowly knelt on one knee, his knee struck the ground with a clang.
When the New Navy flag was plunged into the scorched earth, an explosion suddenly erupted in the distance. The flag's insertion had detonated residual explosives underground, and the towering flames perfectly formed a tragic backdrop.
"In the name of light, dispel all!"
Zephyr's roar shook the live streaming phones. He suddenly grabbed a handful of scorched earth mixed with blood, letting it sift through his fingers.
"From today onwards, this land, soaked with blood... will be taken over by the New Navy!"
"It's blowing up! It's blowing up!" The pirate live streaming the battle watched the number of viewers surge wildly. "We've hit number three on TikTok's trending list!"
He even started an impromptu rap: "Yo ~ Look at that purple-haired old soldier, planting his flag like a nail in the ruins ~"
Zephyr suddenly turned to face the numerous cameras, and a projection Den Den Mushi popped out of his arm.
A beam of light formed the New Navy's declaration in the air: "Article One: Do not harm civilians; Article Two: Blood debts must be paid in blood..."
Every time a law appeared, a pirate would exclaim.
Most dramatically, when the declaration projected to the seventh article, a sudden downpour descended from the sky.
Zephyr stood amidst the lightning, letting the rain wash away the bloodstains, and solemnly completed the last sentence: "This will be the starting point of a New Justice!"
This video was later edited into a viral hit with over 500 million likes... Then Yamato, carrying her Kanabo, ran towards Uta.
"Uta!" She screeched to a halt in front of the Red-Haired Singer, her icy blue hair flying in the airflow. "We've come to save you! No one will ever abandon you in the darkness again!"
Uta was curled up beside a broken pillar, her starlit eyes rippling with confusion.
She gently tugged at her damaged singer's skirt and tilted her head, examining the girl with two horns on her forehead: "Um... while I'm very grateful, may I ask who you are?"
She suddenly clapped her hands as if realizing something, "Ah! Could it be a fan from my concert?"
"Eh? Well..."
Yamato immediately became flustered, not even bothering to pick up her Kanabo that had clanged onto her foot. "Yes, yes, yes! I'm a super fan! I listen to every song you've released twenty times a day!"
Blushing, she made up a song title while counting on her fingers, "Especially that one... uh... 'Creamy Strawberry Versus Onion Rings'!"
"That's the Onion Rings anniversary commercial song!" Uta couldn't help but burst out laughing, the tear mole at the corner of her eye also twitching.
Just as she was about to speak, her gaze was suddenly drawn to a scene in the distance: a giant, mountain-like figure was swinging his Kanabo, smashing the last Marine warship into a meteor in the sky.
"Is that...?" Uta's voice trembled slightly. Kaido stood amidst his lava-like Haoshoku, his sake gourd gurgling as he drank, and his azure dragon scales gleamed with terrifying cold light under the Moonlight.
Yamato laughed, scratching the back of her head: "That stinky old man?"
She suddenly lowered her voice and leaned in, "Actually, he's my... our Captain... Four Emperors Kaido! Even though he has a terrible temper and always commits domestic violence, he worked really hard to save you just now!"
Uta's cherry-red mouth formed an 'O' shape, and sheet music fluttered from her trembling fingers: "Kaido of the Beasts?! The one who single-handedly challenged Marineford...?"
