The man holding the newspaper did not answer, but kept scanning the contents of the newspaper, just like checking money. He had to read it several times to confirm whether it was true or false.
And the stammering guy next to him was too stunned to say a word.
A bald man with a strong build and smell of alcohol couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and strode over, raising his hand to grab the newspaper.
"I want to see what's the big deal that makes you two so scared."
The bald man spoke harshly and glanced down at the newspaper.
"hiss-"
After seeing the headlines of the newspaper, the bald man suddenly took a breath, his huge eyes nearly popped out of his sockets, and he lost his voice:
"The territory of the Four Emperors and Hundred Beasts Kaido was demolished... and tens of thousands of his subordinates died..."
"What?!"
After hearing this explosive news, many of the drinkers who had been drinking since last night suddenly felt as if they were more than half sober.
Everyone looked at the bald man holding the newspaper in shock.
The sounds in the tavern gradually disappeared, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After a while.
In the quiet tavern, a weak voice sounded.
"That's the Yonko Pirates. With all the combat power under their command, have they all been killed? Otherwise, how could the territory be demolished?"
"Speaking of which... why do I feel like I've seen similar headlines some time ago?"
"I also have this feeling!"
"By the way, that's it..."
The people who were talking about each other suddenly looked at each other, and they could see the horror and shock in each other's eyes.
"Hey, the person who demolished Kaido's territory couldn't be Baijia D. Mod, right?!!"
Everyone who realized what was happening looked at the bald man with questioning eyes.
Just now the bald man only said that Yonko Kaido's territory had been demolished, but he did not say who did it.
It's just that everyone vaguely guessed who the person who did such a big thing was.
In their opinion, in the entire sea, only the man named Baijia D. Maude could frequently do such great things that always shocked the world.
Facing everyone's gaze, the bald man nodded with difficulty.
The tavern became quiet again.
At this moment, the name Baijia D. Mode was all in the minds of everyone present.
It's too outrageous and exaggerated.
This man who only appeared in recent years has turned the entire sea upside down.
Similar scenes are happening all over the world.
People once again saw Baijia D. Mode's name on the newspaper headlines, and once again saw Baijia D. Mode's another feat.
In the pirate circle, no one will pity losers.
They will only cheer for 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 Baijia D. Mode has become a symbol of ominousness and disaster.
Countless people who care about the stability of the world are worried.
In their view, the Mord Pirates are an existence that could cause a violent impact on the world at any time, which makes them deeply uneasy.
... ..
New World, Navy Headquarters.
Under Akainu's strong push, the naval headquarters originally located in Marineland was officially relocated to the new world on the other side of the Red Continent.
Guarding this place shows Akainu's ambition.
Somewhere in the new navy headquarters is a quiet cemetery.
This cemetery was moved from Malinvando.
The cemetery is neatly filled with tombstones with names engraved on them.
There was not a single coffin in the ground beneath the tombstone.
Strictly speaking, a tomb like this cannot even be called a tomb.
There is nothing we can do about it.
In order to maintain stability, the Navy makes countless sacrifices every year.
If it were a normal tomb, one naval headquarters alone might not be able to accommodate so many coffins.
The sea breeze blew slowly, and white seagulls circled and sang over the cemetery.
Inside the cemetery.
Garp sat cross-legged in front of one of the tombstones.
Under the tombstone, there was a folded newspaper.
The sea breeze blew up 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 that had been engraved by the sea breeze and the flames of war.
If others were standing to one side, they would definitely not be able to tell what Garp was thinking at the moment and what kind of mood he must be in.
Kaka—
In the quiet cemetery, the crisp sound of clogs stepping on the stone slabs and the rain-like tapping sound of canes on the stone slabs suddenly sounded.
In the entire navy headquarters, there are not many people wearing clogs.
Fujitora was the only one who wore clogs and carried a cane.
Fujitora crossed the tombstones and came to behind Garp.
He looked down, and with his blind eyes, he seemed to be able to see the names on the tombstones.
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.
Others would definitely not be able to tell what Garp was thinking.
However, Fujitora, who is proficient in seeing and seeing colors, can see the color of Garp's emotions.
It was a color of depression and anger hidden within it.
"I'm going to be very busy next. Well...it seems like this rare vacation is going to be wasted."
Fujitora suddenly sighed in a low voice.
I don’t know if I’m talking to myself or to Garp in front of me.
Garp's body moved slightly, but that was all.
Fujitora looked at his back and said calmly: "The hostile fighting between pirates is a good thing and a rare opportunity for our navy."
“…”
When Garp heard this, he just raised his head slightly and said nothing.
Fujitora paused and continued: "The news that the Mord Pirates attacked Onigashima and caused huge losses to the Beast Pirates has been confirmed. Sakaski is discussing the feasibility of sending troops to attack Kaido. sex."
in this incident.
The Beast Pirates lost tens of thousands of troops, and even their territory and strongholds completely disappeared.
This level of loss can be said to have allowed the forces that Kaido worked so hard to manage return to before liberation.
Therefore, Akainu, who has always advocated offense, did not want to miss such an opportunity.
"In Sakaski's style, the negotiation was just a formality."
Garp stood up slowly, his empty sleeves fluttering in the sea breeze, looking quite dazzling.
"Are you leading this operation?"
He straightened up and turned to look at Fujitora.
Fujitora shook his head and said, "I have other important things to attend to. If nothing else goes wrong, the 'Green Bull' should lead this expedition against Kaido."
"Yeah… "
Garp groaned and looked down at the name on the tombstone again.
After the battle in Impel Down City.
This naval hero, who has always had an out-of-the-box personality, seems to be still in depression, without the carelessness of the past.
after all-
During the battle in Impel Down.
He lost two close friends.
... ... ..
The new world, the country of Wano.
In a spacious and bright banquet hall, there is a long table.
On the long table, there is a dazzling array of delicacies.
Charlotte Lingling sat at the main seat, ignoring the presence of meat and vegetables, reaching out to scoop up desserts and stuffing them into her mouth.
"M-mmmmm... I'm so embarrassed this time, Kaido."
Charlotte Lingling's mouth was full of jam and cream, and she glanced at the newspaper on the table out of the corner of her eye.
The entire Ghost Island was directly robbed by the Mod Pirates, and tens of thousands of their subordinates, including Jhin, were killed.
Anyone would find a way to cover up such a scandal.
Kaido is naturally no exception.
However, those damn reporters were able to slip into any crack, and they got the 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 coming from Dressrosa.
The elite team sent to Dressrosa was actually destroyed by Mod.
You know, that team was supposed to bring back SAD liquid, the key material used by Dressrosa to mass-produce ancient devil fruits.
As long as the SAD original solution is available, mass production of ancient devil fruits can be officially started.
This also means that his Beast Pirates will be able to create a comprehensively powerful force in a short period of time.
result.
Such a good thing was ruined by Mod again.
Bad news came one after another, and Kaido was so angry that he vomited blood and wanted to destroy everything around him before he could breathe out.
In fact, Kaido did the same.
In order to vent his anger, he transformed into a dragon and destroyed several mountains and villages in Wano Country.
Facing Kaido's vented anger, the residents of Wano could only endure everything while trembling.
Charlotte Lingling, who was temporarily staying in Wano Country as an ally and guest, laughed at Kaido without any psychological burden.
Perospero, who was sitting not far from Charlotte Lingling, seemed hesitant to speak.
The dazzling array of delicacies on the long table were served by Kaido.
