Just like the battle between Ian and the navy in Salamis was reported by an intern reporter Pulitzer, reporters in this world are unstoppable in catching news.
In the previous period of time, when the Navy continued to mobilize elite sailors from various branches around the world, some reporters had already smelled something unusual.
This led to a large number of reporters squatting around the periphery of the Navy headquarters, wanting to find out what was going on.
However, when the truth was unearthed, the reporters were dumbfounded, and then crazily spread the truth they had unearthed all over the world.
The Navy is going to attack the Whitebeard Pirates!
This news, like a super bomb, made the whole world boil. Although in the eyes of the world, there will be a battle between the Navy and the Four Emperors sooner or later, no one thought that this battle would come so soon.
Moreover, the first target chosen by the Navy is White Beard, the most prestigious among the Four Emperors...
As soon as the news reports came out, it can be said that people all over the world were in panic, because no one knew which side would win this battle.
If the navy wins, they will take a big step forward in their mission of "ending the era of great pirates". The power of pirates will be severely damaged, and justice will surely be promoted.
And if the Whitebeard Pirates win, then the Navy will no longer be able to stop the heyday of the Great Pirate Era, and more and more pirates will be ushered in on the Great Route, and Roger's great secret treasure will not be found. will continue forever.
At the same time, the reputation of the navy and the world government will suffer a fatal blow, especially the world government, which has caused many conflicts among the alliance countries because of the matter of Tiantianjin. If it is affected by the defeat, all opposition forces will also follow. If they jump out, their dominance will continue to weaken at that time, until there is a situation where the franchise countries fall apart.
Without these alliance countries, the world government will fall...
Therefore, although the World Government does not interfere with the decision-making of the Marshal of the Warring States Period, it tells him that since he wants to fight, he must win!
At this time, there are thousands of reporters gathered on the island of Chambord, most of them work for News Corporation, and some of them work for various small newspapers, but without exception, they are all working hard Collect every bit of intelligence about this war, write it as news and send it out.
And no matter how unpopular newspapers and magazines are, as long as they have something to do with this war, they can get huge sales.
To put it bluntly, even if a magazine is completely blank, as long as you write a title of [Battle of New Atwall], you can sell tens of thousands of copies...
The navy's fleet is continuously dispatched to the New World, and the reporters guarding here are using all means to count the specific military strength of the navy's dispatch this time.
However, after they finished the statistics, they were horrified to find that the Navy Headquarters was almost out this time.
There are more than 540 warships dispatched, full of nearly 100,000 elite naval soldiers, and among these navies, there are almost no ordinary soldiers, and the lowest ranks are all at the non-commissioned officer level. Calculated in thousands, there are more than a hundred general-level officers.
Not to mention, there are not only more than a dozen well-known vice admirals among them, but even the three most powerful admirals of the navy are also on the scene. The look of winning or losing.
Such a huge naval lineup left the reporters stunned, but then they felt inexplicably excited.
How should I put it, these reporters are basically on the side of the world government and the navy, because the news media are all controlled by the world government, so even the journalists under their command are biased towards the navy and the world government.
However, when they managed to get the general information of the Whitebeard Pirates, they couldn't laugh anymore.
The navy has a huge lineup, but the Whitebeard Pirates are also not weak. Whitebeard Edward Newgate, who is known as the number one of the Four Emperors, is not so famous
The Whitebeard Pirates itself has a force of more than 1,600 people, led by sixteen captains. In addition, a large number of powerful pirates have gathered under the name of Whitebeard. There are forty-three pirate groups, the number of which exceeds 50,000, and the total number of large and small ships under their command is nearly 1,200.
Just seeing this data, the reporters couldn't help gasping, because from the comparison of this data on the bright side, we know that the Whitebeard Pirates are actually almost evenly matched with the Navy...
It's really scary, is this the power of the first person of the Four Emperors!
In the process of continuous excavation and reporting, the reporters also realized a big problem, that is, there was a serious vacancy in the members of the Qibuhai who participated in the war on the navy side.
At present, the only ones who have been recruited to participate in the war are Hawkeye Mihawk, Moonlight Moriah, Pirate Empress Boya Hancock, and... Bartholomew Bear!
Not to mention the first three, the one who surprised the reporters the most was Bartholomew Bear. Everyone knows that he is a former member of the Shichibukai! His place has been replaced by the black dragon Ian.
The new Qi Wuhai did not participate in the battle, but let the original Qi Wuhai who had already abdicated fight, what happened
Just when the reporters were still wondering, it didn't take long for the news of the attack on the City University Prison to advance. After the reporters flocked to the Navy headquarters for interviews, they learned from Lieutenant General Momotu that the attacker It turned out to be the new Qiwuhai Black Dragon Ian!
Not only did he attack Advance City Prison, killing all the prisoners on the fifth and sixth floors, he also escaped with the rest of the prisoners!
When they first heard the news, the reporters had only one feeling, that was deep fear! They finally knew why the black dragon Ian was not drafted to fight, because he had completely turned against the navy!
For this reason, the Navy even released the news of revoking Ian Shichibukai's title, and increased his bounty to an astonishing amount, one billion Baileys!
This is tantamount to the Navy admitting that Ian's threat has reached the same level as Jack the Drought, one of the three disasters of the Beast Pirates... Maybe even more...
Under the frantic inquiry of the reporters, I finally figured out why Ian chose to stand on the opposite side of the Navy.
It's very simple. Ian and the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace, are brothers, and when the Dragon Hunter Pirates were hunted down by the Navy, it was Whitebeard Edward Newgate who forced the navy back. In other words, the Whitebeard Pirates are kind to Ian!
Then, it is logical that Ian chooses to oppose the navy at this time.
And because of Ian, the Qiwuhai recruited by the navy was incomplete this time. The sand crocodile Crocodile and Haixia Jinbe were rescued by Ian from the Prison of Push City, and Doflamingo was dismounted by Ian. , Exposed his criminal facts in front of the world, so that the navy could not have the cheek to pull him back as a combat force.
In this way, even including Ian, it is equivalent to losing the combat power of the four Shichibukai in the navy at once...
Now, although a new Shichibukai, Blackbeard Tiki, has joined the navy, to be honest, many people have never heard of this man named Blackbeard, and they don't know anything about his strength.
Therefore, in many people's minds, Blackbeard Tiki is not actually counted in the Qiwuhai's combat power.
This incident was so troublesome... While the reporters were terrified, they didn't know how to evaluate this incident.
Although at the time when Ian joined Qibuhai, there was already news from a high-level person in the Navy Headquarters (Lieutenant Dog Dog) that it was a wrong decision, and the position of Qibuhai could not restrain Ian, but at that time People never imagined that this day would come so soon.
Everyone faintly sensed that when Ian joined Qiwuhai, it was just a means for him to preserve himself. Now his wings have begun to plump up, and he is ready to leave the nest...
Now, Ian, Crocodile, and Haixia Jinpei, these three Shichibukai have lost their traces after the Jincheng incident, but everyone knows that the navy must guard against one more dragon hunter pirate It's a group, but I don't know how strong the dragon hunter pirate group has grown to now...
Oh, by the way, there is also a hidden big guy who escaped with Ian, Bucky the Clown! When the crew of One Piece reappeared in the eyes of the world, it was no surprise that the world's terrifying memories of Roger, the One Piece, were once again evoked...
As journalists who have obtained first-hand information, they will naturally be worried about the lack of combat power of the navy. However, there is good news, that is, Edward Newgate, the white beard, is seriously injured!
How much did it hurt? Is it still possible to join the war? The reporters don't know these things, but this is really good news.
The only thing that made the reporters curious was how Whitebeard got injured! Although various incidents show that the reason for Whitebeard's injury may be related to the navy's plan, because just after the news of Whitebeard's injury came out, Admiral Akainu had already appeared in the Aitwall sea area of the New World. There was no connection, and the reporters wouldn't believe it.
However, as to how Whitebeard was injured, the Navy Headquarters also hesitated and did not explain in detail, so even if the reporters scratched their heads, they still had no way of knowing.
There is no way, this matter, the World Government has issued a seal order. After all, they used the Blackbeard Pirates. This matter is not very glorious. If it is spread, it may damage the glorious image of the Navy and the World Government. , So for the reporters' questioning, the high-level officials of the Navy and the world government kept silent.
And now, both the navy and the world government have received the news that Blackbeard Titch has quietly disappeared. Regarding this matter, many people have an ominous premonition in their hearts, and feel that something big is about to happen...
The intelligence agency of the world government is already trying to find a way to track down the whereabouts of Blackbeard, but the problem is that the war with Whitebeard has already started, most of their eyes are focused on this matter, and it is difficult to distinguish too much. More energy to pay attention to Blackbeard.
In the midst of all the turmoil, an image finally came from the video screen of Chambord Island, which immediately attracted countless people to gather around to watch.
The live broadcast of this battle has finally been released, which also means that the deployment of the navy has been completed, and the Whitebeard Pirates will soon be attacked...
