…
Any of these news would be the absolute front page headlines in normal times, and people would not get tired of talking about them for a year.
But this time, they all came out at once, which was simply too much to keep up with!
However, as the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway.
These news spread by newspapers seem to be just stating what happened yesterday, but in fact they are not so objective.
In this newspaper, most people think that the most explosive news is undoubtedly the death of Whitebeard.
Known as the strongest man in the world, he was once a legend with Roger, the Pirate King, and he has continued to this day, becoming one of the four pirate emperors of the New World.
This dazzling experience is incomparable to anyone, not even Sengoku, the admiral of the navy.
But for people with real power, or people with some strength and status, the most noteworthy thing about what happened yesterday was not the death of Whitebeard.
Because the death of Whitebeard and the fragmentation of the Whitebeard Pirates were actually destined in the eyes of many people, unless Whitebeard did not go to Marinford.
Moreover, no matter how dazzling and awe-inspiring he was during his lifetime.
But dead is dead, and the former glory and reputation will gradually be forgotten with death, and the impact will become smaller and smaller.
So strictly speaking, the death of Whitebeard will affect the changes in the territories of the other four emperors in the New World and the fate of the remaining members of the Whitebeard Pirates, but it will have little impact on other people and will have limited impact on the future.
What really attracts attention is actually a piece of news that was put at the end of the newspaper, a piece of news that omitted many processes... the rebellion of 'Baolang'!
The newspaper only summarized this matter in a few sentences without any specific explanation. This is probably the intention of the World Government, which does not want some things to be widely spread.
But in the dark world, what happened in Marinford yesterday is by no means a secret.
The rebellion of 'Baolang' is not as simple as what the newspaper said...
The successful rescue of Sachi is inevitably related to 'Baolang'. If 'Baolang' had not suddenly appeared, the 'Whitebeard Pirates' would have been wiped out!
And the words about true 'justice' that 'Baolang' said after announcing his withdrawal from the Navy, as well as the creation of the 'Sky Punishment Organization', are not mentioned at all in the newspaper.
The newspaper also did not mention that under the command of 'Baolang', there are already three top strong men who can temporarily rival the admirals, and a former 'Seven Warlords of the Sea', not to mention the news that he fought against the two admirals 'Aokiji' and 'Kizaru' alone in the end, and seriously injured one of them.
These are all things that most people cannot know.
But since what happened in Marinford yesterday was broadcast live to dozens of nearby islands, the World Government could not completely suppress the news after all, nor could it prevent the news from spreading everywhere in the dark world.
Many people even compared 'Baolang' and his group with the other 'Four Emperors' pirate groups in the New World, but were surprised to find that the top combat power of 'Baolang' and his group was actually not inferior to those three 'Four Emperors' pirate groups. If 'Baolang' had not stated his future intentions, many people would probably regard him as the new 'Four Emperors'.
The New World, one of the temporary bases of the 'Red Hair Pirates'.
After reading the most comprehensive intelligence obtained from the dark world, ‘Red-haired’ Shanks exclaimed, “I never expected that it would end up like this…”
“Yeah, who would have thought that the Navy’s most promising supernova, ‘Violent Wolf’, who was regarded as a seed for admiral or even marshal, would actually betray the Navy.” Ben Beckman said while wiping his gun.
“‘Heavenly Punishment Organization’? It seems that there will be another force that can control the situation on the sea in the future. However, with ‘Violent Wolf’s’ temperament, it is unlikely that he will participate in the competition for the new world… But according to his style of doing things, it is definitely not us who should have a headache.” ‘Red-haired’ said with a smile.
"The New World has indeed become too chaotic in recent years. If the 'Sky Punishment Organization' formed by 'Bad Wolf' can scare some people, it might not be a bad thing," Beckman said.
"Indeed." The red-haired man agreed, but at the same time he sighed, "It's just that Whitebeard is still dead after all. Marco alone may not be able to control the situation..."
The 'redhead' said, and touched the three scars on the corners of his eyes.
"Boss, you mean, that Teach?" Beckman guessed what the 'red hair' was referring to.
As the number one confidant of 'Red Hair' and the vice-captain of the 'Red Hair Pirates', Beckman basically knows everything about the past of 'Red Hair', and naturally also knows the origin of these three scars.
"Tiqi is just one of the reasons, but it may not be the whole reason." The 'red-haired' shook his head, "I have a hunch that this matter will develop further."
"Follow-up development?" Beckman frowned, "Is there an unknown driving force behind this matter?"
"It's just a feeling, I'm not sure."
"Assuming that there is such a person, he should show up soon, because now is the best time..." Beckman analyzed.
"Well, let's wait and see what happens. You can tell the people below not to plan for the Whitebeard Pirates' territory for the time being, and wait for a few days before talking about it." said the 'red hair'.
Beckman nodded.
