Morgans was a man of action, and a very swift one at that.
On that day, news birds were delivering newspapers all over the world.
The Genbu Navy crushed the East Sea Navy?
The East Sea Navy massacred the villagers of Liulu Island and framed the Genbu Navy?
The Genbu Navy would publicly reveal the truth in three days, execute the culprits, and salvage their reputation?
Genbu Navy Marshal Benedict, possessor of all three Haki types, with astonishing physical combat skills, his Devil Fruit ability still unknown…
Various pieces of news, with the appearance of each newspaper, provided enough sensational topics to grab attention.
Thus, major powers once again turned their focus to the Genbu Navy, and to Benedict.
Whole Cake Island.
The territory of Big Mom.
Charlotte Perospero entered holding a newspaper. Seeing Big Mom eating cake and in a good mood, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "Mama, there's a piece of news here that you'll surely be very interested in."
"Big Brother, what kind of news could make Mama happy?" Charlotte Daifuku asked curiously upon hearing this.
"It's about the East Sea Navy and the Genbu Navy," Charlotte Perospero handed a newspaper to Charlotte Daifuku and said.
Upon hearing this, Charlotte Daifuku's interest was immediately piqued.
He had heard about the Genbu Navy before.
As pirates, they naturally paid special attention to this newly emerged Genbu Navy.
After all, pirates and the navy were opposing forces, and knowing more about them was beneficial rather than harmful.
Big Mom also showed interest upon hearing this and said, "Tell me about it."
Charlotte Perospero happily recounted all the information in the newspaper.
After hearing it, Big Mom burst into laughter.
"Dogs fighting dogs, all with bloody mouths!"
"The massacre of lowly people on Liulu Island was merely some dirty tactic by the World Government."
"No need to bother!"
Big Mom's words were filled with disdain.
The East Sea Navy was too weak in front of the Big Mom Pirates.
Being able to step on the East Sea Navy meant that the Genbu Navy only qualified to enter the Grand Line and establish a foothold.
But even so, they were still weak in front of the Big Mom Pirates.
"Mama, the Genbu Navy is not an ordinary navy."
"The current Marshal of the Genbu Navy, Benedict, possesses Admiral-level strength."
"Furthermore, he has two subordinates with Admiral-level combat power, namely Kenjiro, known as 'Hokuto,' and Wang Zhi, formerly of the Roger Pirates."
"Among those with Vice Admiral-level strength are Silver Axe, formerly of the Roger Pirates, Sakata Gintoki, who calls himself 'Sword Saint,' and the leader of the Soldier King Pirates, Yeluzhiji, who surrendered to the Genbu Navy after being captured."
"Even more shocking is that the soldiers of the Genbu Navy are all proficient in the Six Powers of the Navy."
"With such combat power, the Genbu Navy is no longer something ordinary forces can contend with."
"Even with this lineup, I suspect the Genbu Navy already possesses the combat power to contend with the Four Emperors and Marine Headquarters."
Charlotte Katakuri, as Big Mom's strongest son, the Minister of Flour and leader of the Sweet Commanders, a user of the special Paramecia-type Mochi Mochi no Mi, held an absolute position second only to Big Mom within the Big Mom Pirates.
The information revealed by him at this moment shocked those present who still harbored disdain for the Genbu Navy.
"Second Brother, you're not joking, are you?" Charlotte Oven asked incredulously.
"Possessing three Admirals, three Vice Admirals, and with subordinates proficient in the Six Powers of the Navy, how can the Genbu Navy be so terrifying?" Charlotte Daifuku also said in disbelief.
"Speaking of which, weren't most of the members of the Roger Pirates, apart from Mama, Whitebeard, and Kaido, either dead or captured? Why did Wang Zhi and Silver Fox appear and even become part of the Genbu Navy?" Charlotte Opera asked, confused.
"So, is this Genbu Navy a navy, or pirates?"
…
Some noisy voices echoed in the vast room.
Big Mom's mood also became slightly agitated. She crushed the cake in her hand forcefully and said with dissatisfaction, "Be quiet!"
Instantly, the room fell silent.
"Katakuri, keep an eye on the Genbu Navy. I want more information about them," Big Mom said sternly, looking at Katakuri.
Katakuri quickly responded, "Yes, Mama!"
Whitebeard Pirates.
Marco the Phoenix handed the newspaper to Whitebeard and said, "Old Man, this Genbu Navy is quite interesting. To salvage their tarnished reputation, they attacked an East Sea Navy base, captured people from the World Government, and will publicly execute them at the Genbu Navy base in two days, exposing the World Government's ugly face."
Whitebeard took the newspaper, looked at it carefully, took a sip of sake, and let out a "Gurararara," saying dismissively, "Kids, is the feast wine ready?"
"Wow!"
A cheer erupted from the Whitebeard Pirates, filled with anticipation for the upcoming feast.
As for the Genbu Navy's affairs, while shocking, it didn't affect them, so they didn't need to worry about it.
East Sea, hidden above the sparse population and clouds, on a floating island.
"Jie hahaha."
"The East Sea Navy is too weak, to be so easily stepped on by an unknown force."
Shiki the Golden Lion, floating in mid-air, held a newspaper and laughed excitedly.
Below, Indigo, Shiki's副官 and also a ship doctor, chuckled upon hearing Shiki's words and said, "Admiral, since the East Sea is so weak, why don't we start our conquest from here, dominate the East Sea, and then conquer other seas?"
Shiki pondered for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha, not a bad idea."
"In that case, let's start by dominating the East Sea."
"The Genbu Navy, let's destroy them and consider it the beginning of our Flying Pirates' reappearance and legend-creation."
Indigo pondered slightly and said, "Admiral, destroying the Genbu Navy is a must, but our research has reached a critical stage, so we still need to wait patiently for a while."
"How long?" Shiki asked heroically.
"One month. In one more month, I guarantee you'll be satisfied," Indigo said with confidence.
"Alright, then in one month, we'll destroy the Genbu Navy and sweep across the East Sea," Shiki declared with great swagger and dominance, waving his hand.
Alone, he had stormed Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, throwing it into chaos, fighting fiercely with Garp and Sengoku, and collapsing half of Marineford.
Although he was eventually exhausted and imprisoned in Level Six of Impel Down, he still broke out of the prison renowned for its impenetrable defenses with his formidable strength.
All of this was because he refused to believe that someone as powerful as Roger, whom he considered his lifelong rival and friend, could have been captured by the Marines so quietly.
He did what he wanted to do, which was to verify the truth of this matter, and at the same time, he hoped to rescue Roger from Marine Headquarters.
But unfortunately, when he caused chaos at Marine Headquarters, Roger had already been secretly transferred and imprisoned in Loguetown in the East Sea.
And by the time he broke out of Impel Down, Roger had already been executed.
However, Roger's dying words excited Shiki greatly.
The current chaotic and rampaging seas were simply magnificent.
At this point, he somewhat understood what Roger had been trying to do.
Therefore, Shiki couldn't stand to be left out.
The might of the Flying Pirates was such that they could suppress Roger's Pirate Crew.
How could they be content to hide in a corner?
