World Government in Shock as Dirty Secrets are Exposed!

Everyone around the world was a witness to the battle for Dressrosa. Everyone heard the secrets of the World Government aired in every village, town and city. How long has this been going on? Why do they that already run everything, feel the need to suppress and enslave us? These are the questions that I know we all hope to be answered.

For some of us the World Government has been around for a very long time, looking at history it was formed just over 700 years by 20 kingdoms coming together. What secrets do they hold?

A marine and his soldiers have done a lot for us the people of this world only to be suppressed and pushed into the corner each time. Now war looms based on the action of freeing a kingdom from a tyrant. What next? Will the World Government kill us all for learning about their secrets?

A battle for power is happening in this world, and the ones that will suffer it are you, me and all the people in this world. We need more Marines like Rear Admiral Atlant, whose sense of justice is to protect and serve.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku Resigns

A news report from one of our sources at the Marine HQ at Marineford has confirmed that Fleet Admiral Sengoku has resigned due to health issues. In a matter of days, the Fleet Admirals physique deteriorated and his usual black hair turned white. This decision was also based on the huge wave of resignation the Marine Corp faced in the last months ranging from Admiral to Seamen soldiers.

From our investigations, we can conclude that the wave of resignations was also a scheme of the World Government in using the current marines as a foundation for their new force. The names of the high ranking officers have not yet been determined but we can confirm that the new force will be called: Celestial Navy.

Have they given up, will the new force be taking over? No!

Our information indicated that some high ranking officers led by the War Hero Monkey D. Garp will be staying behind at the Marine HQ to organise a resistance force. Some changes have also been planned in the structure of the Marines which have not yet been disclosed at this point.

World Government War Declaration - 3 Nobles Disagree!

Shortly after the World Government hijacked the News Coo transmission of the Dressrosa battle. We received letters from 3 Nobles who disagreed with the message of the World Government.

The King of Arabasta indicated that this is not a unified position of the World Government but an abuse of power. Secondly, he could not contain the disgust he had for his fellow nobles who treated human life as a game.

The re-crowned King of Dressrosa gave his thanks to the Marines for ending the pain of his Island. He indicated that the World Government had failed him, not just him millions of people around the world. Since a battle is coming, the army of Dressrosa will be there to fight with the Marines as a sign of their appreciation.

The Donquixote Family has been a pest at the West Blue for many years. They funded the Mafia and were the Cartels involved in the spread of the Devil Fruit power. The King from Kano also gave his indication to join the fight for Marine Corp due to the arms deal being terminated and the return of his soldiers from Dressrosa.

A sleepy village that resembles a typical rural community, with rustic wooden houses, docks, and a few windmills, located to the east of the Goa Kingdom capital. At a bar in the centre of the village with a huge white nameplate and blue words "Partys Bar", a few people were having a drink.

"Another drink, please! Garp must have it tough these days," The old Mayor said as he read the reports in the newspaper. He was Mayor Woop Slap, the current Mayor of Foosha village. He had a cleft chin, wore oval glasses, and had a greyish-white thick moustache and a goatee. He was wearing simple clothes and a hat. Next to his empty beer glass was a walking cane.

"Ok, the usual right?" a young woman with brown eyes and dark green shoulder-length hair said with a smile. She wore a white blouse with no sleeves and underneath it a pink-striped shirt.

"Yes, Makino! Have you heard from Luffy? That kid! I hope he is not up to no good" The Mayor said as he sipped his cold beer.
