Asdrerd News:

[The World Government has announced that Asdrerd of the Shichibukai is eligible to rule on an area of his choise. He will also be able to participate in various Levely, as an independent kingdom. He will not be under the government but his equal.

They have not released any other information. Will he have noble blood flowing through his veins? Did the dream of the Naked Angel move the World Government?

We don't know anything, but one thing is certain... The Naked Angel will create a nation for all the children of the world!]

This news caused many people to argue across the Sea:

---

[BALTIGO]

"Oooh, it looks like Asdrerd has successfully infiltrated!" Dragon exclaimed after reading the news. Now he could have received a lot of news from Levely.

[In an unknown ship]

"Gurararara!"

An enormous man, taller than twice as tall as an ordinary human, was laughing as he read the newspaper.

He had a decidedly elongated face, with wrinkles around his eyes and two characteristic white crescent-shaped mustaches facing upwards. He was very muscular and had numerous scars on his chest. He wore a black bandanna on his head and a white captain's jacket on his shoulders.

He was the crew captain, Edward Newgate or better known as Whitebeard.

"Father, has something nice happened?"

Hearing his captain laugh, a very tall man with a massive build, even slightly disproportionate, asked curiously.

He had a wide mouth with some missing teeth, a large nose with a pronounced hump and a hairy body. His black hair was long and curly.

This man was Marshall D. Teach.

"I read about a very interesting child." Whitebeard said before throwing the newspaper at Teach.

Reading the article, the man understood why his captain was in a good mood. Asdrerd was doing everything to protect the children. Even though he was still young, he was doing everything to protect "his family" as Whitebeard.

Teach did not know Asdrerd very well, he only knew that Asdrerd had entered the Shichibukai for the sake of the children enslaved by the World Nobles.

He just wanted to look for news on the Devil Fruit he had been looking for all these years.

"Father, has this child digested a Devil Fruit?"

Whitebeard stopped drinking and said, "From what I understand, he has a power that can see the future."

"Oh, quite useful. He may know the location of the One Piece."

"Gurararara! Roger was not so stupid; he had considered this possibility before he died." Whitebeard knew his old rival well.

However, Teach was interested in the young man's power. Asdrerd could tell him where to find the fruit he was looking for.

"Father, could I go find him? With him, it will be possible to find a cure for you!"

Obviously, it was just an excuse to go to Asdrerd.

"Go ahead, if you can, bring it here. I would like to talk to him."

Receiving permission from his captain, Teach smiled.

[Somewhere else]

Other people read the news, such as Dofliamingo and Crocodile. Both were dissatisfied for some reason.

Hancock was surprised although not like the Five Elders, they were the most surprised. They never expected such a thing.

Many noble families also began preparing weddings to bond with the Naked Angel.

---

No one spoke of the second news.

Everyone said the same phrase, "I didn't know anyone on that island. I don't know what happened, but I am sorry. "

Journalists were unable to find any acquaintances of the missing persons.

News of the Color Criminal:

[ The Color Criminal made an appearance in Water 7 wreaking havoc. Fortunately, the Naked Angel was present; he protected the city and chased away this criminal.

At the bottom of the article, a photo of Asdrerd protecting a child with his body. The World Government has formed a team specialized in the capture of the Color Criminal, whose identity is still unknown to the world.

His aim appears to be to destroy the World Government. His current Bounty is 700 million. For any information, the government is willing to pay.]

Even this news made a lot of talk about itself.

People were scared, mainly because practically nothing was known about this criminal. He could have been anyone and this had caused a lot of fear.

Those who knew Asdrerd's identity were calm and knew that the Color Criminal would never hurt innocent people.

[WATER 7]

It was night and Asdrerd had just arrived. He had decided to rest and talk to Mysha tomorrow.

As soon as he got off the ship, he saw a woman he knew well, Kalifa.

"Hi King Asdrerd, we have been informed of your arrival. Your partner Mysha is already at the meeting place, please follow me."

Kalifa led Asdrerd to Blueno's bar.

Once inside he saw Kaku, Lucci, Blueno, and Mysha already seated.

Without saying anything, he sat down in one of the two free chairs.

In order not to appear weak, he began to speak.

"The government asked me to become your boss for a few years. Before I start, I would like to know if anyone has something against it."

Mysha wanted to know how Asdrerd got the title of King, but she knew that this was not the ideal time. She could always ask for it privately once the meeting was over.

"I want to participate too!" Number 6 mentally said to Asdrerd.

Nobody said anything. Asdrerd was satisfied; it meant that his authority had already been approved.

"I want to participate too!!!"

Asdrerd continued to ignore the voice.

"Come on, I've always been good and silent! I am also a member of the crew! Come on! Come on! Come on!"

Hearing Number 6 complaining, Asdrerd decided to accept his request, no one would have heard.

Asdrerd took the piece of paper and placed it on his head.

Everyone looked oddly.

"What is that sheet?" Blueno asked. He was suspicious that it could be a way to record the conversation, which they couldn't afford.

Mysha was embarrassed by the thing, but she couldn't allow the CP9 to see Asdrerd as crazy.

"It's nothing; Number 6 is our companion..."

CP9 members looked towards Asdrerd's head.

"What's wrong? It's like Hattori for Lucci. He is my best friend."

Asdrerd pointed to the white pigeon who was drinking a glass of alcohol over Lucci's shoulder.

Obviously, Asdrerd did not consider Number 6 a friend.

"Asdrerd!! Thanks for the nice words! T.T I feel like crying. Ah but not because I am moved eh! I cry for too much laughing! I, the great Number 6, friend of a human... Hahahahahahahaha!"

The pigeon made a verse as if to answer Number 6.

"Ohh? It seems to be true; Hattori is talking to that piece of paper." Lucci confirmed to his companions.

While the two were talking, nobody said anything. Nobody in the room understood the speech.

Asdrerd could hear Number 6, but he could not understand the pigeon.

After the two stopped, Asdrerd began explaining why he was put in charge of CP9.
