410 Schadenfreude
The latest website: The Four Emperors of the New World, Kaido, the beast known as the strongest creature in the sea, land and air, has been demolished.
How the news was leaked is nowhere to be seen.
In less than half a day, the whole world learned of this shocking news through the media coverage.
"Hey, something big happened!!!"
In a certain pub, a man with a drunk face looked at the newspaper in his hand in shock.
His voice was so loud that he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"No matter how big it is, it won't come to you. As for the yelling?"
The people in the tavern looked at the man holding the newspaper with disgust.
But the man just kept scanning the contents of the newspaper without saying a word.
A person who was closer to him looked curiously and suddenly widened his eyes.
"This this……"
As if seeing something incredible, the man stammered and couldn't say a word.
Looking at the man's strange reaction, everyone in the bar realized that something big might really have happened.
"Hey, what's in the newspaper?"
A drinker asked loudly at the man with the newspaper.
However.
The man holding the newspaper did not answer, but kept scanning the contents of the newspaper, just like checking money.
And the stuttering guy next to him couldn't say a word.
A sturdy, bald man who smelled of alcohol could not stand it, got up and strode over, raised his hand and grabbed the newspaper.
"I want to see, what is the big deal that makes you two eggs scared like this."
The bald man spoke harshly and glanced down at the newspaper.
"hiss--"
After reading the headlines of the newspapers,
The bald man gasped for a moment, his huge eyes almost popped out of his sockets, and he lost his voice:
"The Four Emperors and Hundred Beasts Kaido's territory was demolished...and tens of thousands of his subordinates died..."
"what?!"
Hearing this explosive news, many drinkers who had been drinking from last night to the present suddenly felt that they had sobered up more than half of their alcohol.
Everyone looked at the bald man holding the newspaper in shock.
The sound in the tavern gradually disappeared, and it was as quiet as a needle falling.
After a while.
In the quiet and silent tavern, a weak voice sounded.
"That's the Four Emperor Pirates. Have all the fighting power under their command been killed? Otherwise, how could the site be demolished?"
"By the way... why do I feel like I've seen similar headlines some time ago?"
"I also have this feeling!"
"That's right, it's..."
The people who were talking about each other suddenly glanced at each other, and they could see the shocking color in each other's eyes.
"Hey, the person who demolished Kaido's site, shouldn't it be Baka D. Maud?!!"
Everyone who realized something looked at the bald man with a questioning look.
The bald man just said that the Four Emperor Kaido's site was demolished, but didn't say who did it.
It's just that everyone vaguely guessed who the person who did such a big thing was.
In their opinion, on the entire sea, only the man named Baka D. Maud can frequently do this kind of big thing that always shakes the world.
Facing the gazes of everyone, the bald man nodded with difficulty.
The pub was quiet again.
At this moment, in the heads of everyone present, the name Bacardi D. Maud was all over the place.
Too outrageous and too exaggerated.
This man who has only appeared in recent years has turned the whole sea upside down.
Similar scenes are being played out all over the world.
People saw Baka D. Maud's name in the headlines again, and once again Baka D. Maud's feat.
In the pirate circle, no one will pity the losers.
They will only toast the winner.
It doesn't matter who the winner is, and it doesn't matter who the loser is.
They only admire the strong.
For ordinary people, the name Bakar D. Maud has become a symbol of ominous and disaster.
The countless people who are concerned about the stability of the world are all worried.
In their view, the Maud Pirates are an existence that will cause a violent impact on the world at any time, which makes them deeply disturbed.
.....
New World, Naval Headquarters.
Under the strong promotion of Akainu, the naval headquarters originally located in Marin Vando was officially relocated to the new world on the other side of the Red Earth Continent.
Guarding this place shows Akainu's ambition.
Somewhere in the new naval headquarters is a quiet cemetery.
This cemetery was relocated from Marin Vando.
The cemetery was neatly and orderly filled with tombstones engraved with names.
In the ground beneath the tombstone, there was not a single coffin.
Strictly speaking, a tomb like this cannot even be called a tomb.
This is also impossible.
In order to maintain stability, the Navy sacrifices countless victims every year.
If it is a normal tomb, I am afraid that only one naval headquarters will not be able to accommodate so many coffins.
The sea breeze was gentle, and white seagulls were circling and chirping over the cemetery.
Inside the cemetery.
Karp sat cross-legged in front of one of the tombstones.
Below the tombstone, there is a folded newspaper.
The sea breeze blew and lifted a corner of the newspaper, revealing Maud's name.
"..."
Garp stared silently at the name on the tombstone.
There was no expression on the tough face engraved by the sea breeze and the fire of war.
If others were on the side, they would definitely not be able to see what Karp was thinking at the moment, and what kind of mood he should be in.
Kaka-
In the quiet cemetery, the crisp sound of clogs stepping on the slate, and the rain-like slap of the cane hitting the slate suddenly sounded.
In the entire navy headquarters, not many people wear clogs.
Fujitora is the only one who wears clogs and carries a cane.
Fujitora crossed the tombstones and came behind Garp.
He looked down, his invisible eyes, as if he could see the names on the tombstone.
His eyes moved slightly, and he seemed to be able to see the newspaper under the tombstone, and the name on the newspaper that made him feel complicated.
Finally, he looked at Garp, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the tombstone.
With others on the side, he certainly couldn't see what Karp was thinking.
However, Fujitora, who is proficient in seeing and hearing, can see Garp's emotional color.
It was the color of anger hidden in repression.
"I'm going to be busy next time, uh... a rare holiday, it looks like it's going to go to waste."
Fujitora suddenly sighed in a low voice.
I don't know if I'm telling myself, or if I'm telling Garp in front of him.
Garp's body moved slightly, that's all.
Fujitora looked at his back and said calmly: "The rivalry between pirates is a good thing and a rare opportunity for our navy."
"..."
When Karp heard the words, he just raised his head slightly and did not speak.
Fujitora paused and continued: "The news that the Mord Pirates attacked Onishima Island and caused huge losses to the Beast Pirates has been confirmed, and Sakaski is discussing the feasibility of sending troops to attack Kaido. sex."
in this incident.
The Hundred Beasts Pirates have lost tens of thousands of troops, and even their bases have completely disappeared.
This level of loss can be said to have brought Kaido's hard-working forces back to the pre-liberation period.
Therefore, Akainu, who has always advocated attacking, did not want to miss such an opportunity.
"In Sakaski's style, the negotiation is just a cutscene."
Garp got up slowly, his empty sleeves fluttering in the sea breeze, looking rather dazzling.
"Are you leading the team this time?"
He straightened up and turned to look at Fujitora.
Fujitora shook his head and said, "This old man has other important things to do. If there is no accident, the 'Green Bull' should lead the team."
"yes……"
Garp pondered, and looked down at the name on the tombstone again.
After the battle of advancing the city.
This naval hero, who has always been out of character, seems to be still in depression, without the carelessness of the past.
after all--
in the battle to advance the city.
He lost two close friends.
........
New world, Wano country.
In a spacious and bright banquet hall, there is a long table.
On the long table, delicacies are dazzling.
Charlotte Lingling sat on the main seat, ignoring the presence of meat dishes, reached out and picked up desserts and kept stuffing them into her mouth.
"Ma, Mamama... It's a big shame this time, Kaido."
Charlotte Lingling, with her mouth full of jam and cream, glanced at the newspaper on the table out of the corner of her eye.
The entire Oni Island was directly robbed by the Morde Pirates, and tens of thousands of subordinates, including Jhin, were also killed.
Such a scandal, anyone would try to cover up the news.
Kaido is no exception.
However, that group of damned reporters can really get into any crack, and they got first-hand information under Kaido's news blockade.
After the headlines came out, Kaido was furious.
But what made Kaido even more angry was the bad news from Dressrosa.
The elite team sent to Dressrosa was also killed by Maud.
You know, that team should have brought back Dressrosa's SAD liquid, the key material for mass production of ancient devil fruits.
As long as there is SAD stock solution, mass production of ancient devil fruits can be officially started.
This also means that his Hundred Beast Pirates will be able to create a powerful army in a short period of time.
result.
Such a good thing was once again destroyed by Maud.
The bad news followed, Kaido was so angry that he vomited blood, and he wished to destroy everything around him before he could breathe.
In fact, Kaido did the same.
In order to vent his anger, he transformed into a giant dragon and destroyed several hills and villages in Wano Kingdom.
In the face of Kaido's anger, the residents of Wano can only bear everything shivering.
Charlotte Lingling, who was temporarily staying in Wano Country as an ally and a guest, laughed at Kaido without the slightest psychological burden.
Perros Pero, who was sitting not far from Charlotte Lingling, seemed to be hesitant to speak.
There were so many delicacies on the long table, but Kaido served them.
While eating the delicacies specially prepared by Kaido, he was still gloating over Kaido's misfortune.
A bit bad.
Perospero thought to himself.
After thinking about it, he didn't dare to give a loud reminder.
On the contrary, there was one more important matter that he had to bring up no matter what.
After waiting patiently for Charlotte Lingling to sweep away the desserts on the long table, Perospero finally had a chance to speak.
"Mom, should we go back?"
He looked up at Charlotte Lingling, who didn't care about her appearance at all.
"Um?"
Hearing Perospero's words, Charlotte Lingling looked over and wondered, "Didn't we just arrive in Wano Country? Why are we in a hurry to go back?"
"Uh……"
Perospero was dumbfounded for a moment.
We can’t say that we are worried that after Maud leaves Wano, he will go to Wangu and continue to demolish our home?
If he really wanted to say that, Perospero felt that he would be spared thirty years of his life by his mother on the spot.
Just imagining that scene made Perospero shiver with chills.
Just when he turned his head quickly, preparing to answer.
An aura mixed with monstrous anger spread into the banquet hall from a distance, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
They don't have to go to the scene in person, they also know who the owner of this aura is.
"Ma, Mamama... That guy Kaido is probably the first time he's so angry, right?"
Charlotte Lingling looked at the wall of the banquet hall, as if her eyes could pass through the wall and land on Kaido, whose face was twisted with anger.
Her tone was still full of schadenfreude.
on a wasteland.
Kaido, who changed back into a human form, was leaning on a mace in one hand, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be materialized.
In front of him was a group of members of the Beast Pirates who couldn't hide their fear.
Of all the people present, Quinn was calmer.
"Is Wano country big?"
Kaido looked at his subordinates coldly, his voice seemed to be squeezed from between his teeth, full of anger.
"Why can't I find anyone?"
"..."
Facing Kaido's questioning, even Quinn didn't dare to let go of a fart.
In the past, to find Yamato, it was easy to find it with just a little mobilization.
After all, there were tens of thousands of people.
But now that there are less than a thousand members of the pirate group, it is easier said than done to find someone who is deliberately hidden in a country?
The truth is this truth.
Quinn didn't dare to explain.
It's like opening a wound.
Kaido looked coldly at everyone who bowed their heads and said nothing.
After a moment.
He spoke again.
"Go and call Caesar."
Having suffered a tragic loss, he has run out of patience.
He had to see Caesar create the first ancient artificial devil fruit in a very short period of time.
Quinn sees Kaido's thoughts.
As a scientific researcher, he is very clear that this urgent mentality does not apply to scientific research.
But the situation is like this, the current Beast Pirates really need a large wave of fresh blood called ancient devil fruit.
"Is there any way to speed up the progress..."
Quinn was actually very impatient.
suddenly.
A figure flashed across Quinn's mind—
Germa, Vinsmoke Gage!
Quinn doesn't need Germa's technology. What he needs is Germa's genetic technology and artificial soldiers that can be mass-produced.
These things are exactly what the Beast Pirates urgently need right now, and they are also the key to a quick recovery.
A fierce light flashed across Quinn's eyes.
They can't wait, and they don't have the capital to wait.
In order to quickly restore the combat power, even the entire Vinsmoke family would be sacrificed.
