Chapter 249 - News 03!

[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]

Third Person POV

New World, Second Half of Grandline.

...

...

As news spread across the four corners of the world, the New World was no exception. This sea was the territory where the worst pirates lived, and the news of a newcomer fighting against vice-admirals, without even arriving in these waters, was quite alarming to all the major forces and even independent pirates.

In Dressrosa, the chaos was even greater. After all, the pirates of the Donquixote group soon discovered the state of their captain, imprisoned in Marineford, lying in a bed in a coma, with even incurable injuries.

The family was gathered in the castle except for a few members, while they fiercely discussed with one another.

"How can they do this to Doflamingo?" questioned Pica, one of the family members angrily as his voice was thin.

"What are we going to do now? The Navy doesn't want to take him out of there, for some reason." Trebol spoke with snot coming out of his nose.

"We should keep calm. Everything will be alright, no matter what happens," Diamante spoke with firmness in his voice.

"Even so, how are we going to run the country without Joker? What if the rebels rebel?" Dellinger asked worriedly.

"Let's try to keep any chaos at bay. After all, most of the country is loyal to the King of Dressrosa. That hasn't changed. Let's just hope he gets well and we can take revenge on that group of pirates who did such a thing." Diamante spoke again, maintaining his calm.

"Do you really think we can fight against a group that did this to Doflamingo?" Senor Pink spoke.

"No matter what happens. We will take our revenge," Pica exclaimed.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, in the coliseum, two women were meeting, while commenting on the events with each other.

"Is it true that Doflamingo is seriously injured and even at risk of dying while in a coma?" Rebecca, dressed as a gladiator, asked surprised to the newspaper as her gaze returned to her aunt.

"I don't have much information about it, besides what some family members commented while I was leaving. And there's nothing in the newspapers that proves his current state. However, he really suffered a defeat. First, he was captured and then humiliated in a way I never imagined could happen." Violet spoke looking at the newspapers searching for any other information.

"Are we finally going to get rid of him?" Rebecca asked with hope.

"I don't know, but he certainly never suffered so much in his life. A small satisfaction after everything he did to us. I'm so happy about this," Violet admitted, after all, she always wanted to end Joker, and seeing him being destroyed was one of the best things that happened in all 6 years.

She picked up the newspaper and saw the photo of the pirate responsible for this, wanting to meet him, after all, not everyone could fight against Doflamingo, but this man, this newcomer at sea, had gone against all common expectations.

Meanwhile, the underworld was in chaos. Without their boss, behind the command, the Donquixote family was still trying to maintain control over all places, trying to fulfill all the agreements of selling weapons, drugs, and human trafficking, having a lot of difficulty in keeping everything under control.

On another island, where there had not been any incident of two admirals fighting, Caesar Clown was doing some tests with his assistant trying to create Smiles.

This project was born with Doflamingo in an agreement with Kaido, one of the Yonkou, Caesar Clown had stolen this project from an experiment conducted 2 years ago, he still remembers the incident very well.

He was at a testing site with Vegapunk, who was attempting to create a specific thing at this location, an artificial Devil Fruit, but not just any fruit, this one was crafted using Kaido's genes after collecting them during one of his captures, thereby trying to create a dragon with this artificial Devil Fruit.

After years of research, the fruit was finally constructed, and both Vegapunk and his second-in-command, Caesar Clown, were looking at the small pink fruit emerging from the oven, appearing in front of them with the metallic sound of doors opening.

"Finally," Vegapunk sighed, "after years of being funded by the government to create this fruit, we have finally completed our work." He commented as he approached the fruit. "But it was supposed to be blue, why pink?" He couldn't help asking with disappointment.

Caesar Clown watched with jealousy, after all, it wasn't he who made it, but rather his rival in the field of science, yet he kept calm and waited for Vegapunk to finish analyzing all aspects of the fruit.

"This," the big-headed man began, analyzing the data and conducting tests with the scanning machine. "The fruit is a failure," he finally admitted, with a tone of frustration. "After all the resources and my time that had been dedicated on this island to create this fruit, in the end, it was a failure..." He murmured.

"Ha, ha, ha, you're not as smart as you hoped," Caesar Clown exclaimed, laughing slowly, while he, not caring about his assistant, already familiar with her personality, continued looking disappointedly at the pink fruit.

"It seems you're not so smart after all, aren't you? It's a failure. You made a failure," Caesar Clown began to mock.

"The government won't like to hear this," Vegapunk said in the end, and looked at Caesar Clown. "Since the fruit is good for nothing, throw it away. I'll talk to the Five Elders now." he simply said and turned away.

Caesar Clown was thrilled by this, as he picked up the fruit and placed it in a box, proudly labeling it "Vegapunk's Failure." He wouldn't throw it away but would keep it in his room as a trophy. "He failed, but I will make a better one," he commented as he began to walk with the fruit.

He secretly took all the research data, ready to try to prove that he would make better artificial fruits!

"I have the data, it's better to throw this away, otherwise it will bring me bad luck!" Caesar Clown commented, changing his mind about keeping the fruit, then went to the garbage dump.

He arrived at the site and simply threw the fruit there, saying: "Goodbye, Vegapunk's failure. You finally showed me that he makes mistakes," he said, excitedly. "Now I need to look for more of his mistakes," he said, with a personality that insists on not wanting to lose to his rival.

Sometime later, with Caesar insisting on searching, he had a falling out with Vegapunk and activated a poisonous gas across the entire island, making it uninhabited in the current time.

Now Caesar Clown was pondering what to do next, especially since he had heard about Doflamingo's situation and was hoping he would recover soon, because without Joker's protection, his life wouldn't be easy.

Meanwhile, in Onigashima, Kaido was preparing his army to head to Paradise, as he had to rescue his daughter, his subordinate, and capture a bunch of mystical beasts for that crew, which he wanted more than anything. Now, even Smile was not comparable to those monsters he saw in the newspapers. He was about to try to tame them with all his strength.

He had returned, after King convinced him to come back. After all, he took the wrong path and spent a month wandering the New World, unable to return, even entering some of the Blues, while King went after him.

"Now," he was already preparing a large army, "men, be prepared for a war that will happen in Paradise against that pirate band. Soon, they will feel the strength of the Beast Pirates," he spoke, as the crowd began to shout: "Let's face them! Let's finish them! How dare they attack the Beast Pirates?" They screamed. This was the speech from the day before.

Now, the image of Luffy and his daughter emblazoned in the newspapers caught his attention that morning, making him look at it incredulously. In a way, not that he was afraid of the Straw Hats or anything, but he was certainly quite impressed with the current strength of the crew.

"These kids are getting stronger and stronger. I'm proud of you, Yamato. It looks like you've finally taken after your father," he began to cry as he saw in the newspaper the photo of his daughter with a bounty of 600,000,000, while she was fighting against 2 vice-admirals. This was an impressive feat for him, hoping that she would take over Wano one day.

"Let's head to Paradise. Let's take this crew for ourselves," he spoke, as the 2 Disasters and the Tobiroppo were gathered in front of him, some curious, others angry about Luffy's deeds, after all, the crew had achieved many bounties above 100,000,000 berries, without even setting foot in the New World.

However, King's phone started ringing at that moment. He saw that it was Vergo calling, a vice-admiral who worked for Donquixote Doflamingo as a navy spy.

He thought for a moment before answering, but eventually accepted, going to a corner. He listened to everything, frowning even more. Then, he returned to Kaido.

"Boss Kaido!," he spoke, drawing Kaido's attention still crying over the newspaper.

"Hm?, what is it, King?" He turned to his disaster.

"Urgent news, Boss Kaido," he spoke. "There will be a war between the Whitebeards and the Navy next week." Kaido immediately looked at King, stunned.

"A war?" he asked. "A war against the Navy. The old man is going to do that?"

"Yes," King responded, already envisioning the inevitable outcome. "It seems the Navy has his second-in-command in their hands and intend to carry out a public execution, according to Vergo."

"I see... that old man will surely not let this happen..." Kaido spoke, stopping his tears, now he was in a dilemma, whether to face the Straw Hats or take advantage of the chaos in the new world with the departure and possible death of Whitebeard...

"It seems we have no choice," Kaido spoke. "Change of plan!" he shouted, as an even more serious situation had arisen.

"Wait a minute, brother," Ulti asked angrily, even speaking to Kaido in such a manner.

Kaido didn't mind and simply answered her: "Don't worry, we'll do that later. For now, there's a chance for us to grab more territories for ourselves. And we'll also attack Whitebeard," he declared, as everyone present felt except for Ulti who was still dissatisfied.
