The Shocking News

"We need to find the road poneglyps." Mark said seriously while looking at the people sitting around the table.

"Where is this road poneglyph, your talking about?" Capone Bege asked curiously while looking at Mark.

"Kaido and Big Mom have one each, so I suggest we attack the Big Mom pirates first and then make a copy of their road poneglyph." Mark said confidently with a smile on his face.

"Attacking Big Mom Pirates, how bold!" Issho said relaxed while drinking some wine.

"We need to build our army up first, before attacking the emperors." Satyr jr said seriously while scratching his forehead in stress.

"Alright, we will use the meeting between Blackbeard and Whitebeard to temper ourselves," Mark said with a laugh, he was considering killing off Blackbeard the next time they met, just to get rid of future troubles.

"The poneglyphs can't be deciphered." Alice suddenly interrupted as she commented seriously while looking at Mark's eyes.

"I already know of someone who can read these poneglyphs, so this isn't an issue," Mark answered calmy while glancing at Alice's serious face.

Mark suddenly thought of Nico Robin, he already knew that she was capable of reading these poneglyphs but if he really did kidnap Nico Robin the Strawhats would obviously come after him as if he was the greatest enemy in the storyline. The will of "D" Mark began to slowly feel irritated when he thought of the letter "D"

But what was up with Alice anyways these days. She seems quite anxious for some reason. Mark silently thought.

Ring.. ring...

Mark took the transporter snail as he accepted the call without saying anything.

"Is this Mark...?" A sorrowful voice came out from the transporter snail.

"Yes?" Mark answered slowly, but he was still curious about hearing this sorrowful voice.

"The old man is dead." The sorrowful voice continued in a griefing manner.

"What!!?" Mark was shocked as he jumped out of his chair. Whitebeard seemed fine when he met him the last time.

The rest of the Z pirates were shocked when they saw Mark jump out of his chair.

"Was he attacked?" Mark quickly asked in a concerned voice. Mark thought he had time enough to visit him one last time to say goodbye but then he received this unexpected news!

"No. He died because his heart couldn't take the internal damages anymore. " the voice continued.

"Marco..." Mark said slowly as he tried to think of something comfortable to say in this situation but he couldn't think of anything as he found himself completely at lost.

"..." Marco didn't answer Mark as he slowly hanged up the transporter snail.

Mark slumbered back into his seat with an uncomfortable look on his face.

"He really died..." Mark took a deep breath as he closed his eyes for a second.

This piece of news traveled the whole world and everyone was shocked.

-----------------------

An unknown island in the New World.

"Zehaha, pops died???" Blackbeard laughed out maniacally when he heard the news. His plans were to attack Whitebeard in his dying moments and then get the tremor-tremor fruit. Unfortunately, Whitebeard had already died.

"Wihahaha, do we change our plans, captain?" Jesus Burgess asked with a smile on his face.

"Yes! We going to exterminate the Z pirates, and then I will become the new fourth emperor of the sea!" Blackbeard said with a vicious smile on his face while clenching both his hands.

Van Auger was cleaning his sniper while looking at the laughing Blackbeard.

"We've lost two people at Marinford, isn't it about time we found some replacements?" Shiro of the rain asked expressionlessly.

"Yes, your right. That should be our main focus for the time being." Blackbeard answered after calming himself down. Whitebeard dying both shocked and made him happy at the same time.

------------------

On a sky island in the New World.

"That Whitebeard died!!!? Who am I going to fight now!!" Kaido's angry voice resounded throughout the entire sky island.

"Please calm down Kaido-sama! There is still Red-Haired Shanks." A beast pirate tried to calm down Kaido but suddenly he found himself falling down from the sky island.

"Arrgh.." a scream could be heard as the Beast pirate screamed while falling down from the sky island.

"Shanks! You better be able to kill me this time around." Kaido screamed angrily, he was extremely mad right now. He felt like Whitebeard was the only person in this world who had the capabilities to actually kill him, and now that he is dead, he didn't know of any other ways to kill himself.

-------------------

The new Marineford in the New World.

"Whitebeard, died?" Sengoku asked again as if he really wanted to confirm the news.

"Yes, fleet admiral!" A marine reported again.

"I think it's time for me to step down from my position and finally retire. But who is going to become the new fleet admiral?" Sengoku said stressfully while fighting with his own thoughts as he didn't want to progress the fact that his old enemy died.

"I think Aokiji would be the best candidate," Garp said as he suggested Aokiji for the fleet admiral position. Garp also felt a little uncomfortable after knowing Whitebeard died, but then again they were old foes after all, so they basically knew each other very well.

"Sakazuki won't allow that. Troublesome, truly troublesome." Fleet admiral Sengoku said while shaking his head in a stressful manner.

"This issue will probably end with Aokiji and Sakazuki fighting each other for the fleet admiral position," Garp said as he sipped his tea.

-------------------

On the sea in the New World.

"Whitebeard is dead?" A tall man with fiery red hair could be seen sitting on a barrel and reading a newspaper. This man was the captain of the kid pirates.

Eustass Captain Kid, the rookie worth 350 million berries after arriving in the New World he immediately slaughtered an entire island filled with the long arms tribe members which gave the world government no other choice than to raise his bounty.

"A new emperor will be born soon." Killer the first mate of the kid pirates said slowly as he was standing behind Eustass Kid.

"Blackbeard and the rookie emperor will be fighting for the emperor's title soon, the seas will be shaken by their battle Hahaha." Eustass Kid began to burst out laughing.

Killer didn't say anything as he was looking at the laughing Kid silently.

An unknown Island in the New World.

A bar in a bustling city

"Whitebeard is dead!" A man with dreadlocks screamed towards his comrades there were sitting before him as he reported the news.

"What!? Are you serious?" His friend responded in a terrified voice.

"A war is on it's way!" The third comrade said slowly as he thought about Blackbeard and Mark Z. Matheus.

"Whitebeard is dead? Even, after all, we went through to save him?" Trafalgar Law could be seen sitting at the bar while listening to the news, he was shocked when he heard the bombshell news.

He then thought about Mark and what they had to go through to save Whitebeard at the Marineford war.

He also thought about Marks promise to him to help him kill Doflamingo, was he really going to keep his promise at that time or was he just interested in his devil fruit powers.

Trafalgar Law didn't really trust Mark after finding out that he had the ability to take someone else's devil fruit and especially his devil fruit which was too powerful.

"No! I have to follow my original plan! Which is to become a seven warlord first." Trafalgar Law thought silently while clenching his hands.

It didn't matter if he pissed off an upcoming emperor or not! What matters was to get his revenge on Doflamingo.

Trafalgar Law turned towards the pirates talking in the inn as he used his "room" ability and cut their heads off and put them into a bag which he was planning on giving to the world government for the process of becoming the new warlord of the seas.
