61 Live broadcast

Holy Land, Mariejois, Pangea.

In the conference room.

The Five Elders gather.

At this moment, several of them appeared solemn as they listened to the Cipher Pol member, who knelt on one knee before them, reporting the situation.

"Saint Charles is missing? And it's been a week? What is your Cipher Pol doing?" one of the Elders questioned.

"Could he have ventured into an unknown sea area?" another speculated.

"It could very well be the case. It's improbable for some sightless individual to attack his vessel, wouldn't you agree?" a third Elder added.

"Impossible! The Baboon Demon confirmed finding nothing, not even a trace of Charlos. It's as if he vanished into thin air," another chimed in.

"The crucial point is that, in the first half of the cruise, even in the presence of pirates, the five Cipher Pols should have the upper hand. With so many bodyguards aboard, any skirmish with a significant pirate group would not go unnoticed," remarked one of the Elders.

At this juncture, the Five Elders expressed a touch of concern. While they may not be invested in Saint Charlos's fate, the broader impact on the Celestial Dragons had to be taken into consideration.

"Leave it be. Cipher Pol needs to monitor this closely and report any developments," declared Saint Nashoulang, waving a dismissive hand at the Cipher Pol agent.

Following a brief pause, the Cipher Pol representative spoke, "There seems to be some activity stirring in the underground world recently. Stussy received a joint invitation for a live broadcast from Morgans. Details were undisclosed, suggesting significant news."

"By the heavens!" exclaimed Saint Wo Qiuli, his expression grave. "That troublesome bird should have been dealt with sooner! Always stirring up commotion. It's unsettling."

Saint Satan nodded in agreement, "Morgans indeed poses a challenge! In the future, record the fruit's abilities when procured, else it may fall into the wrong hands, hindering governmental stability."

Maz Sheng pondered briefly before adding, "Saint Charlos has handed over '650' for investigation. Baboon Demon, oversee the underground world matter closely. Report any irregularities promptly."

"Understood!"

Meanwhile, in the Grand Line, on an uninhabited island in the Calm Belt.

Blackbeard raised the Seven-Star Sword, exuding Conqueror's Haki intertwined with a crimson glow and threads; a striking display.

A myriad of scarlet raindrops cascaded from the sky into the Calm Belt's sea, imbuing the heads of ten large sea creatures lurking there.

Following this ethereal encounter, Blackbeard felt an unprecedented connection with the thousands of large Sea Kings, which elicited a joyous laugh.

"Ha ha ha ha, it's time, kiddos! Robin, let's kick off the plan. Contact Morgans for the live broadcast."

"Understood."

Robin employed her Flower-Flower Fruit abilities, activating ten enormous live phone bugs while connecting with Morgans.

In a split second, Morgans answered the call, eagerness evident in his voice, "Nico Robin, it's you! I've contacted the underground world kings for the joint live broadcast you proposed. You assured me of groundbreaking news, Robin, don't falter now!"

"Hehehe~" Robin laughed softly, "We're all set for the news you desire. However, I am not the one you're meeting."

"Uh? Nico Robin, if you're playing games, don't be surprised if I report this to the World Government!"

Before Morgans could press further, a sinister laughter echoed through the phone, sending a chill down his spine.

"Zehahahaha! Morgans, if you dare threaten us, beware I'll raze your World News office! Don't assume you can elude me up in the sky."

Morgans, taken aback, swiftly recognized the voice and, unperturbed by the threat, inquired, "Are you... Blackbeard- Marshall D. Teach?"

"Indeed," responded Blackbeard solemnly. "So you've teamed up with Nico Robin for the negotiation? Intriguing!"

Eyes gleaming with curiosity, Morgans flapped his wings excitedly. "As the leader of Whitebeard's Zero Division, you wish to reveal to me the secrets behind the Celestial Dragons' live broadcast? Fascinating! Fascinating! Quack quack—"

"Commence the live broadcast" Blackbeard ordered, a mischievous grin on his face. "You'll find out shortly."

With that, he abruptly ended the call.

"Whitebeard? Blackbeard? D? Celestial Dragons? I have a feeling this live broadcast is about to ignite—it's going to spark!!" Morgans exclaimed, snapping his fingers eagerly.

In an instant, the six glass screens in front of him lit up, revealing the anxious faces of the six other underground world kings.

Yumit: "Morgans, it's been a while. Where's the big news?"

Piecro: "Don't play tricks, or I'll have your bird's head!"

Stussy: "Curious about the big news, Morgans. Why the extravagant joint live broadcast?"

Du Fisher: "Have faith in Morgans."

Gilbertson: "Morgans and I go way back. I trust this bird wouldn't pull off a massive joint live broadcast over something trivial. Let's hear it."

Morgans smiled as he listened to the remarks. What he initially believed was Nico Robin's revelation had taken a thrilling turn with Blackbeard's involvement, piquing his excitement.

"We might be in for quite the ride. Hold tight, everyone!" Morgans declared, sparking solemn expressions among the underground world kings.

As the joint live broadcast signal circulated, the territorial waters of Totto Land, Wano Kuni, Shanks, and Whitebeard intertwined. Screens across the globe suddenly switched, showcasing a desert island at first.

In the midst of a stone forest, figures stood, sat, and relaxed. An enigmatic log loomed in the background, yet its nature remained undisclosed.

The camera eventually zoomed in on a man dressed in distinctive black attire, donning a black sword, cowboy hat, captain's cloak, trousers, and boots. This figure remained obscure to most, but to pirates, Marines, and leaders affiliated with the World Government, he was a notorious figure—the supernova pirate, Blackbeard- Marshall D. Teach, re-emerging after a two-month disappearance.

"Zehahahaha!"

Blackbeard opened with his signature laugh, bowing slightly to the camera and smiling,

"Everyone, thank you.

You all must be very confused as to why I appear in your shots.

But we will find out soon.

Until then, I want you to remember today.

Because, starting from today, the times will go crazy!"

Just as Blackbeard's joint live broadcast had just begun, people from all over the world looked shocked.

Red-haired Shanks leads the sea.

Beckman: "Don't sleep, Shanks, something big has happened! Watch the live broadcast."

Shanks: "Stop making trouble with Beckman Live? Wait, this guy is Teach?!"

Wanokuni, ghost island.

Jin: "Boss, something urgent happened, Tian came to watch the live broadcast."

Kaido: "Live broadcast? From the underground world? What are these underground rats doing... You want me to see this guy? Who is he? Laozi has no impression!"

Quinn raised his forehead and said, "Boss, that guy is the captain of the Zero Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Blackbeard-Marshall D Teach who has been in the limelight recently."

Totto Land sea area, all nations.

Katakuri: "Mom, the joint live broadcast of the underground world has begun."

Charlotte Linlin: "What a hassle! Let me go and watch Stussy's so-called good show."

At the same time, on the other end.

Boom, boom, boom!

The CP0 ape demon who had just walked out of Pangu City, after receiving the intelligence information from the phone bug, immediately rushed back to the door of the conference room with a changed expression and knocked on the door eagerly:

"Master Five Elders, I have something urgent to report!"

"Enter!"

After hearing the sound coming from inside, the monkey demon immediately walked in, knelt down on one knee and quickly put aside the information he had obtained.

The Five Elders' expressions darkened again, but no one said anything. They immediately connected the signal and started the live broadcast.

The same scene also appeared in the Naval Headquarters Marineford conference room.

Marshal Marine, Marine's three major forces, and eight of Marine's veteran Vice Admirals are now gathered together.

The fact that these Marine elites who should have been scattered around the world can appear in the Naval Headquarters conference room so quickly at this time is enough to explain the problem.

They are all waiting for an opportunity and the order from the Five Elders above.

But they didn't expect that they would receive the noise from the underground world first.

"Blackbeard? It's him again!

This guy disappeared and made big news when he appeared?"

Sengoku gritted his teeth.

Marine and others looked at the screen in silence.

After Blackbeard finished speaking, he paused for a few seconds and spoke again:

"Next, I'm going to play a game with Marine and the World Government.

This game is called hide and seek.

I am now on an uninhabited island above the sea, and then you, Marine and World Government, need to find me.

You only have three days.

If you don't find me, then..."

Having said this, Blackbeard grinned, the camera zoomed up, and then

Everyone in the world saw a cross wooden stake more than ten meters high behind him.

At this time, there was a man wearing a space suit tied to the wooden stake, his face covered with blood.

When they saw this man and what he was wearing, the expressions of everyone watching the live broadcast changed.

Hey, stop joking, could that be a Celestial Dragon?

Tsk!!!

Before they could react, Blackbeard had already drawn out the Seven-Star Sword from his waist and waved ten purple-colored sword energy into the sky, directly cutting off the left arm of Saint Qian'erros.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The next second, Charros, who was originally a little weak, let out a shrill scream.

Seeing this scene, the whole world seems to have fallen into a strange dead silence at this moment!

Anyone with a bit of vision has already recognized that the guy tied to the stake by Blackbeard is a Celestial Dragon.

This outfit is only worn by Celestial Dragons in the world!

But at this time, the Celestial Dragon they saw was not only beaten with blood on his face but also had his right arm cut off by Blackbeard!

What does this guy want to do?

Is he crazy?

The world seems to be speechless at this moment.

"Thief hahahaha."

At this moment, Blackbeard's devilish laughter spread from the phone bug to the world, reaching the ears of everyone watching the live broadcast, and at the same time, his extremely arrogant voice sounded.

"Marine, World Government! If you dare to cut off the signal, my next target will be the head of Saint Charles! Five Elders, are you watching? You don't want the Celestial Dragons to be publicly executed by me, do you? Then come find me! As long as you find me, I will be happy."

Boom!

After Blackbeard finished speaking, the furious voices of the Five Elders were heard throughout the Holy Land.

"Blackbeard! This lowly pirate, how dare he do this?"

"Damn damn damn!"

"He's crazy, this guy is completely crazy!"

"He's a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, right? How dare he?"

"Isn't this guy afraid of us seeking revenge on the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"The CP agency will be dispatched immediately!"

It is different from the rage situation of the Five Elders in the Holy Land.

At this time, the room fell silent in the Naval Headquarters conference room.

After a while, Garp's inappropriate laughter suddenly rang out.

"Pfft hahahaha, this Blackbeard is really clever, isn't he? What a pity, Whitebeard, they are going to be in trouble now."

"Bastard Garp, is this the time to joke?"

Sengoku immediately scolded.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the phone started ringing.

Sengoku connected directly, and the angry roars of the Five Elders were immediately heard on the other side of the phone.

After being yelled at and scolded for a while, Sengoku hung up the phone expressionlessly, then looked at the crowd and said, "Alright, bring your own live phone bugs and get ready to go! This Blackbeard really caused a stir this time. I just don't know what that guy Whitebeard thinks."

Everyone obeyed the order, and the other eight veteran Vice Admirals left immediately.

There were only six people left in the conference room: Marshal Sengoku, Three Admirals, Garp, and Vice Admiral Crane.

"It's Blackbeard, it's so scary!" Kizaru stopped cutting his nails and looked at Blackbeard on the screen with a serious expression.

"Pirates, you truly deserve punishment!" Akainu exhaled slowly.

Aokiji scratched his head. "What does this guy want to achieve? He asked us to find him. Could he be seeking death? Even as the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, this is too reckless."

Vice Admiral Crane stared at the live broadcast screen carefully. After Aokiji finished speaking, she directly asserted, "This man is skilled at finding places, Sengoku, instruct the team to focus on the Calm Belt."

"Calm Belt?!" Sengoku was momentarily astonished, then looked at the screen carefully, and smiled. "As expected of you, Crane. It appears we will soon apprehend this man."

Vice Admiral Crane's expression remained serious and she shook her head slowly. "Simple is best. I have a bad feeling about this, Sengoku."

Sengoku, Garp, and others looked at Vice Admiral Crane in surprise.

They found it normal for Vice Admiral Crane to pinpoint the approximate range so quickly. After all, she is Marine's strategist!

At this moment, Blackbeard's arrogant voice sounded again.

"You must be confused. Why would I, as the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Zero Division, do such a thing? Of course, it's because I have left the Whitebeard Pirates and claimed a position amongst the Four Emperors. How can the mere title of captain of Whitebeard's Zero Squad suffice for my ambitions? After this incident, it will be time for our Blackbeard Pirates to fully step onto the world stage."
