Chapter 122

"Pops these individuals are far too strong!"

"A pirate crew capable of opposing Sengoku, Garp, and the three Admirals shouldn't be unknown!"

"Yeah, you should see the rift left by the golden sword at the end of the newspaper; it's frightening just to look at."

As his sons discussed on the sidelines, Whitebeard couldn't help but feel concerned. In Whitebeard's eyes, this sudden appearance of a group of people who had boldly killed Celestial Dragons was very unsual.

Such things hadn't occurred for centuries, not even by the Yonko themselves. Moreover, these newcomers seemed more powerful than the Marines.

The emergence of this mysterious crew left Whitebeard wondering about their intentions, fearing that the seas might plunge into chaos once again. His gaze returned to the newspaper, and the sight of Ryan and the others heading to the Grand Line heightened his concerns.

"Ace, stay safe," he thought. It had been a long time since Ace embarked on his mission to capture Blackbeard, and there had been no news. Whitebeard's unease deepened.

On Whole Cake Island, a woman enjoying a delectable feast suddenly notices the newspaper on the table, especially the images of Ryan. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"Who is this? Those eyes must belong to a new race!" She exclaimed, her enthusiasm growing. "Find him! Find him! I want him to be my 44th husband!" Suddenly, the cake in her mouth lost its flavour. She picked up the newspaper and instructed her sons.

Seeing their mother's reaction, everyone hurriedly agreed, doing their best to calm her down. But when they saw the Ryan group in the newspaper, unable to match the might of the Marine fleet Admiral and the Admirals, they too were astonished. "With our strength, how can they kidnap these monsters?" They exchanged uncertain glances and ultimately decided that Katakuri should make the final call.

In the New World's Wano Country, Kaido roared with laughter. "Worororo! The strength of Sengoku, Garp, and the Admirals don't stand a chance against this new crew. This sea is becoming more and more exciting!" He looked at the newspaper, and his eyes gleamed.

It was their first appearance on the world stage, and they had already made such a terrifying impression. The thought that his sake was more enjoyable than usual crossed his mind.

King, who believed Kaido was the strongest, was equally surprised. Although he held Kaido in high regard, it was evident that these newcomers surpassed him.

"Kaido, please stay calm!" King pleaded. "The most important thing now isn't these individuals; they're too afraid to venture into the New World! If they do, we'll have plenty of opportunities to fight them!"

Kaido downed his sake, acknowledging the truth. He knew that his penchant for seeking danger and excitement stemmed from his formidable strength. However, he realized that fighting Ryan and his crew, given their track record, wasn't a wise move. He pondered their motives for suddenly appearing in the sea.

Meanwhile, on the Grand Line, a flagless vessel hosted a group of individuals enthusiastically reading a newspaper together. One of them remarked, "I must say, intelligence work in this world is quite impressive. Not long after we left Saboady, this detailed newspaper article was published!"

Looking at the newspaper, Tobirama, and the others were filled with admiration. They couldn't help but admire the dedication displayed in this report.

Madara, on the other hand, looked at the praise and the records of his actions in the newspaper and felt a sense of self-satisfaction. Every word seemed like a testament to his accomplishments.

"Hahahaha! I quite like this newspaper!" Madara exclaimed. "I'll make something similar in Konoha when I return! Hey, you can have this!" His plans intrigued everyone, and they thought perhaps they should start their own. With newspaper, it was clear they could shape public opinion effectively.

However, Ryan noticed that there was no bounty order issued for their deeds. He couldn't help but wonder if they were too strong or the bounty would be issued later. As time passed, they drew closer to the Water 7.

Glancing at the Log pose in his hand, Ryan knew they were nearing their destination. Just as they were about to arrive, a news bird appeared in the sky once more. A newspaper and a stack of wanted posters suddenly descended from the sky.

"Eh?!" Ryan exclaimed as he examined the front page of the newspaper. It featured images of the destroyed Enies Lobby and the Straw Hat Crew. It meant that the water 7 arc was already over.

"So soon?" Ryan muttered, disappointed by the timing. Looking at the newspaper's contents, he realized that heading to the Water 7 would be a waste of time. The Straw Hat Crew had undoubtedly left, and they had a new ship. Hashirama and the others also read the news and understood their mission objective's location has changed.

"We can't find the Straw Hat Crew on water 7 now?" Minato questioned.

"No, it seems we've missed them," Ryan responded. Everyone frowned in response, including Ryan. They hadn't expected the Straw Hat Crew to leave the Water 7 so quickly after the Enies Lobby incident.

Fortunately, Ryan was well-versed in One Piece's plot direction, and he knew the Straw Hat Crew would likely head to Moria's territory next, specifically Florian's Triangle.

"Adjust the course!" Ryan commanded. Fortunately, he had bought a log pose in Sabaody Islands that led to Moria's territory too.

The ship swiftly adjusted its course, with Ryan at the helm, steering it straight toward the Florian's Triangle. This time, they had no intention of wasting any more time. Tobirama even unleashed his Water Style: Water wave jutsu, propelling the ship forward at an incredible speed, almost like a big surfboard on the sea.

Meanwhile, as Ryan and his crew set sail for the Florian's Triangle, on Thriller Bark, the Straw Hat Crew was engaged in a battle against Moria's strongest zombie.

Oars the Continent-Puller, Luffy was fervently absorbing the power of shadows, preparing for the impending war. Unbeknownst to them, they had become the target of Ryan and his crew.

As time passed, Moria was eventually defeated by Luffy, and countless shadows were freed. The Straw Hat Crew also gained new allies and a new crew member the musician Brook. Just as everyone celebrated their victory, a large ship slowly approached Florian Triangle.

"It seems we've arrived just in time," Ryan remarked, looking at the Thousand Sunny not far away. His gaze then turned to the ominous Thriller bark. The Straw Hat Crew was on the ship, and their first mission was about to be completed.

Without wasting any time, the group headed towards the central castle. Looking at destruction the battle should already been over. Ryan anticipated the crew to hold a banquet there. As they neared the castle with Hashirama and the others, they spotted a bloodied man outside.

Blood was splattered all over the ground, yet the man still stood there. Despite the gruesome scene, as long as he continued to breathe, everyone assumed the man was alive.

Tsunade, a renowned medical ninja, merely gave him a cursory glance and remarked, "If you don't treat this man, he'll bleed out with the amount of blood he's lost! People in this world are unbelievably resilient. They won't die from this level of bleeding!"

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Ryan and the Sixth Hokage Kakashi exchanged puzzled glances. Such words were typically not spoken by someone who knew they wouldn't die even if they were cut in half.

Observing Zoro, who was seemed to be at the end of his life, Ryan suddenly had a revelation. Perhaps there was no need to kill them. With a swift motion, he appeared in front of Zoro. Although Zoro was still conscious, he realized the newcomers weren't allies but was unable to move.

Helplessly, Zoro watched as Ryan's eye changed into crimson.

"Who are you guys?!"

Just as Ryan withdrew his gaze, a figure descended from the sky. Sanji, who had just regained consciousness, delivered a powerful kick toward Ryan. However, Ryan remained unfazed and kept his distance from Sanji. Another figure swiftly immobilized Sanji by pinching his neck. It was Madara.

Observing Sanji's futile struggles, Ryan wasted no time. He directed his Sharingan onto Sanji, pulling both of them in genjutsu.

Satisfied with his actions, Ryan nodded and said, "Let's go! Take us to the others!"
