A few days later, about half of the news related to Keles Island was reported in the newspapers.
Only half because... Sengoku and Kaido still seem to be fighting!
New World, in a random sea area.
On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard touched his chin with one hand and held the newspaper in the other. After reading it, he couldn't stop laughing.
"I thought I had witnessed all sorts of scenes in my life, but Keles Island truly surprised me... I regret not joining in the fun," Newgate chuckled.
"Dad, what's so interesting?" Marco leaned forward and asked.
"Keles Island, rumored to be the battleground between the Donquixote Family and the Big Mom Pirates..." Newgate said with a smile. "Turns out, Charlotte Linlin and the little devil Doflamingo duked it out there. They vanished half a day ago, leaving the island to that bastard Sengoku and Kaido. It seem they're still going at it gurarararara..."
"Ah?" Marco was a little confused, and then quickly asked, "Dad, why?"
"Go and read for yourself." Newgate said, throwing the newspaper in his hand towards Marco.
Marko quickly read the newspaper with Jozu and others, and finally everyone was stunned by the bells and whistles of this war.
"So, Charlotte Linlin was actually dealt with by that guy Doflamingo in less than half a day's fight?" Vista said in surprise. "This Doflamingo is quite powerful, huh?"
"He's really powerful. Even though the newspaper says that Charlotte Linlin was too arrogant and contemptuous at first, but in this sea, a person who can severely injure Charlotte Linlin because of her arrogance and contempt is also strong enough." Vista said and the rest nodded in agreement.
"From today onwards, this Don Quixote Doflamingo can also sit at the New World poker table," Joz said with emotion.
"At most, he is a silver medalist, and he can't compare with pops." Marco admired Whitebeard very much, and said it as a matter of course.
But what he said is also true. In this sea, the Whitebeard Pirates are the undisputed rulers and the rest are all silver medalists.
"Okay, okay, enough talk, I'll be leaving for a while." Vista said quickly after returning the newspaper to Marco.
"What are you going to do?" Marco asked curiously.
"I'm going to Cernis Island. I heard that my brother's sword dojo was attacked by a guy named Dracule Mihawk, and my brother was severely injured. I have to go back and see the situation." Vista said very helplessly.
"Dracule Mihawk?" Thatch exclaimed. "That's the guy nicknamed 'Hawkeye', right? He seems to be in the limelight right now, challenging and defeating twenty-four great swordsmen continuously, from the first half of the Grand Line all the way to the New World, and he hasn't suffered a defeat!"
It seems that not only Thatch knows about the rumors concerning Mihawk. No, judging from the surrounding situation, it seems that only Vista, who is also a swordsman, doesn't know about it!
Thatch said with a serious face: "That guy is really powerful. These twenty-four great swordsmen are no joke. They are all formidable fighters, some even capable of starting their own dojos. Despite their strength, sixteen of them perished after being challenged by Mihawk."
A defeat is a defeat, but death is another matter.
It can be seen that Mihawk's challenge is very ruthless.
However, this is generally the case for swordsmen, a duel is often a matter of life and death.
"Yes, incredibly strong. Rumor has it that just meeting his eagle-like gaze can instill immense fear and intimidation, leading one to lose the will to fight. That's why he's dubbed 'Hawk Eyes,'" Thatch said, nodding with a knowing expression.
Vista's expression became more serious, and he asked: "So, why is he doing this? Is he trying to make a name for himself?"
"No..." Thatch shook his head, then continued, "It's probably not exactly that. According to the man himself, he aims to challenge every swordsman he encounters on his journey, aiming to elevate his swordsmanship to the highest level and become the world's number one swordsman!"
"The world's number one swordsman?" Vista murmured softly after hearing the words, and then said: "He really has big ambitions. Just being able to say these words is enough to prove his strength and resolve!"
"Speaking of which, some people have started to call Dracule Mihawk and Don Quixote Doflamingo the twin stars of this era." Thatch added.
The rest of the people were silent for a while when they heard the words, and after thinking for a while, it seemed that there was some truth to the rumors.
Doflamingo and Mihawk can be considered pirates who entered the first half of the Grand Line around the same time. Frankly, they are newcomers who emerged during this period.
But the ones that can really be called dazzling stars are only Doflamingo and Mihawk.
There are also some outstanding ones in the back, such as Gekko Moria, who entered New World not too long ago, rumors has it that he killed a senior cadre of the Silver Ax Pirates, and now Silver Ax said that he would cut off his head.
Although Moria seems formidable, compared to Mihawk and Doflamingo, he still appears inferior.
At this moment, another news bird landed, and Marco looked at this scene, a little strangely and said: "Didn't you come here just now?"
But before he finished speaking a piece of paper fell directly from the News bird.
"Urgent special issue?" Marco jumped up and caught the piece of paper.
Generally speaking, when there is an urgent special issue there is no need to pay for the news.
Taking a look, Marco exclaimed, "Damn it! Total carnage! Is that guy Douglas Bullet crazy?"
"It's him again!?" Jozu also leaned over to take a look.
Douglas Bullet left the Roger Pirates shortly after he learned that Roger was dead, and then went crazy from time to time in the sea.
This guy is an extremely tyrannical person. In just a few years, he has already caused three massacres, and now, it should be the fourth.
Two days ago, Douglas Bullet destroyed a Marine Base in Jadenzburg, New World. Nearly 20,000 Marine soldiers, including the base Vice Admiral Fairman, were slaughtered.
This is another justified defeat of Marines in the New World, and currently, this incident is called the 'Jadenzburg Massacre'.
At some point, Whitebeard also stood behind the crowd, and after he finished reading the urgent special issue, he said in a slightly desolate tone: "That guy... has a lot of power, but he lost his target at sea, thus appearing desolate."
"Father, why is he doing this kind of thing?" Marco turned his head and asked.
"For what?" Newgate was silent for a while, and then said: "Perhaps, it is to find his own direction again and gain an answer through his fights"
But the rest of the people still looked a little confused, not quite understanding what the old man meant.
However, Newgate didn't intend to explain. Instead, he suddenly said: "It seems that the farce on Keles Island should be over. Bullet gave Marines such a big slap in the New World. If Marines don't target him, their prestige will be greatly reduced.
In fact, it is true. It is not that Douglas Bullet did not commit any massacres before, but the previous few times were all non-affiliated countries in the New World.
Therefore, the World Government, at most, gives him a warning, perhaps out of humanitarianism, but they really want the Marines to work hard to apprehend him. However, they have never taken action against him.
But this time, Bullet destroyed a Marine Base from top to bottom, including the Vice Admiral's base chief.
If the Marines don't deal with him severely, where is their prestige as the overlord of the sea?
So Newgate is very sure that in the next step, Sengoku will definitely not continue to fight with Kaido anymore, he will definitely return to Marine Headquarters quickly, and then make a plan to deal with Bullet.
This is also the reason why New World pirates rarely attack Marine and Marine Bases under normal circumstances unless they encounter them at sea.
It's not a question of whether they can fight or not, but if they crushingly defeat the, they will provoke the entire Marines.
On this day, two big news spread throughout the world.
The first major news: the Heavenly Yaksha, Don Quixote Doflamingo, has joined the ranks of New World big players. He has made a serious mark, figuratively speaking, by stepping on Charlotte Linlin's head... Well, perhaps not literally on her head, but at least on her shoulders. After all, those who climb on the shoulders of others rise to the top.
In the News of the World, there was a photo of Doflamingo slashing Charlotte Linlin's shoulder, and Charlotte Linlin's abdominal wound appeared severe.
No matter how this photo was taken, no one dared to question Doflamingo's strength after this photo came out.
The second big news is that Douglas Bullet, the guy who is called the devil's heir, is going to start a big battle with the Marines this time!
Is the New World really the place where all the heroes gather?
When Doflamingo got the news, he just returned to Dressrosa.
And Doflamingo, who faced the Bigmom pirates and returned as a 'winner', seems to have even higher prestige in Dressrosa!
