Chapter 39: Sensational World

#The Emergence of a New Power

"Big news, big news! The Ocean Disaster Gangplank has powerfully defeated the 'Fleet Admiral' Sengoku, and no one can stop him across the sea!"

"Big news, big news! After just three months at sea, Gangplank has defeated an 'Fleet Admiral,' and his future is limitless. He is destined to seize the throne of the Pirate King!"

"Big news, big news! First, he seized the gold in the sky, and now he's defeated the 'Fleet Admiral' Sengoku. The Ocean Disaster Gangplank has become one of the Five Emperors of the Sea. Who else in the world can stop him?"

"Big news, big news..."

Across the sea, countless newsprints scattered like snowflakes, spreading the sensational headlines far and wide.

The news of Gangplank, a pirate who had been at sea for only three months, defeating an alternate Admiral, caused a worldwide uproar. Morgans, the news tycoon, thrived on sensational stories, caring only about attracting attention.

# The Five Elders' Response

In the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, the Five Elders were livid. The newsprint from Morgans lay crumpled on their desk.

"Trash, all rubbish!" the blond Five Elders fumed, throwing the paper aside. "Send someone to warn that old bird Morgans. If he spreads news detrimental to the world again, then kill him!"

"It is necessary to warn Morgans," the bearded Five Elders said gravely, "but the main issue now is dealing with Gangplank. We must solve this problem quickly!"

"No one expected a pirate from West Blue to grow to such a point so quickly. He must be eradicated immediately. The balance of the world must not be shaken!"

The Five Elders knew that looting a sum of heavenly gold was one thing, but a pirate with the strength to defeat an alternate Admiral was an unprecedented threat. Gangplank's notoriety and growing power posed a severe challenge to their rule.

# A Strategic Decision

"Gangplank is not easy to eradicate now," the curly-haired Five Elders said thoughtfully. "Even if we dispatch an Admiral, we might not be able to defeat him. We should consider recruiting him as a Shichibukai (The Shichibukai were a powerful group of pirates who worked for the World Government to stop other pirates in exchange for total freedom on the seas). These pirates made up one of the Three Great Powers in the One Piece world who maintained the balance of power."

"Recruit him to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?" another Elder questioned.

"Yes," the curly-haired Elder affirmed. "If he becomes a Shichibukai, all his current fame will become a supreme glory that embellishes the authority of the World Government."

Despite the mixed reputation of the Shichibukai as government lackeys, their official status lent them an aura of power and legitimacy.

"We already have a full roster of Shichibukai," the blond Elder pointed out. "How do we fit him in?"

"If necessary, we can have eight Shichibukai," the curly-haired Elder replied calmly. "Or we can remove a weaker Shichibukai to make space."

"No," the bearded Elder interjected. "After Doflamingo became a Shichibukai by plundering the heavenly gold, we can't repeat that mistake."

"Recruit Gangplank instead," the curly-haired Elder concluded. "He will be more beneficial as an ally than an enemy."

# Final Decision

The debate continued until the slightly bald Five Elders spoke up with a stern expression, "Wouldn't robbing the Heavenly Gold become a shortcut to becoming a Shichibukai? If this continues, how many troops will we have to send to maintain the collection of gold in the sky? The world will be in chaos!"

The bald Five Elders, embracing the First Generation Kitetsu, made the final decision with a solemn tone, "Mobilize Marine Admiral, dispatch CP0. At any cost, kill Gangplank completely before he enters the New World! Only with the blood of Gangplank can the scum of the sea understand that the majesty of the World Government must not be challenged! God's order is absolute!"

After the bald Five Elders finished speaking, the other Five Elders nodded in agreement after a moment of silence.

Soon, the latest bounty orders for Gangplank, Gragas, and the Blood Harbor Ghost Pyke were released. Inside Navy Headquarters, Admiral Aokiji, who was urgently transferred, yawned and quietly left Marine ford on his bicycle. For the World Government, Gangplank must be killed quickly.

# The World's Reaction

Meanwhile, Big Mom, holding Gangplank's latest bounty order with a bounty of up to 850 million berries, smiled gleefully, "Well, well, well, did you repel the Sengoku of Marine candidate Admiral Momonga? I really like him more and more."

"Baron Tamago, go and send him the invitation to the tea party in person. He can choose my daughter, and I will give him the position of a general! Two of his cadres can also marry my daughters. If he becomes my family, I might become the Pirate King soon!"

Big Mom's excitement was palpable as she sent Baron Tamago to recruit Gangplank. As for whether Gangplank would reject her marriage proposal, Big Mom never considered it. The invitation to the tea party was an iron law that countless pirates on the sea could not offend. She was confident that the Ocean Disaster Gangplank would not be an exception.
