Chapter 316 The Gears of Destiny
Chapter 316 The Gears of Destiny
Rayleigh put away his sword and poured a bowl of sake into the waters of Wano. He didn't care about the hideous wound on his left shoulder. All he cared about was revenge for Oden.
However, the only thing this sea doesn't care about is Oden's hatred.
The battle that lasted for more than two days finally came to an end with Kaido's death.
The bloodthirsty jackals on the sea rushed towards the former territory of the Beast Pirates like crazy, trying to bite off as big a piece of fresh meat as possible from the fallen giant beast. The flames of war instantly spread on the island that was once protected by the Beast Pirates.
Informants from major organizations immediately reported the war situation in Wano, trying to ensure that the forces behind it would get more benefits.
Newspaper reporters who keep up with current events also send back real-time reports with text and pictures as soon as possible. In order to report the war situation in Wano as soon as possible, several war reporters died in the aftermath of successive wars.
Not long after, the "World Economic News" adopted a rare "double headline" model. Not surprisingly, the war in Wano made headlines. Kaido and Whitebeard's duel, Rayleigh slaying the dragon, the collision of the famous sword Griffin and the supreme mace, Feng Ziyu's "soul-breaking" sword, and even Mihawk, Jhin, and Quinn, their photos They were put up one by one.
The reports below are full of legendary words. Although it is news, it has the flavor of a novel, which is indeed fascinating. If there is any shortcoming, it is that the situation in Wano has been ignored "as usual". This country that should have been the focus once again "evaded" Morgans' reports due to its closed geographical environment.
As for whether the World Government and the Five Old Stars "contributed" behind the scenes, it is unknown...
On the other side, there is the so-called "G5 Base Defense War." It tells the story of Big Mom colluding with Wang Zhi and trying to raid the G5 branch of the Navy in the New World, but was heroically repelled by the Navy officers. Compared with the "truthful" reports on the Wano battlefield, the following reports have a lot of "beautification" of the navy, focusing on how embarrassed the two four emperors were, but only announced in small print at the end of the newspaper that I Lieutenant General Da's death.
Not surprisingly, the World Government covered up part of the truth about this matter.
Suddenly, the new world shook.
One of the "Four Emperors" fell and two were seriously injured. No matter how special the situation is, no matter whether the opponents they face are powerful pirates of the same level and the most violent organization under the World Government, they have clearly conveyed this signal to the outside world - since the formation of the "Four Emperors" , it became loose for the first time.
The "protagonists" in the report, except for the dead Kaido and others, have already started their own "new lives".
On the Mobydick, the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates "gathered together", and even many affiliated pirate groups gathered around the Mobydick.
They are currently staying near a remote island on the edge of the Whitebeard Pirates' territory.
"Dad, read the newspaper!"
Marco rushed into the cabin of the Moby-Dick with the latest newspaper.
The Yonko also needs to read newspapers. For example, the Whitebeard Pirates have a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with the Newsbirds flying in this area. The Newsbirds will always stop on the mast of the Moby Dick to wait for Mal. Ke Fei comes up to buy a newspaper.
But this time, Marco flew to another part of the Whitebeard Pirates' territory to buy newspapers.
The news bird is a strange creature that has given rise to countless speculations and daydreams. One of the widely circulated opinions is that these birds were specially bred by Morgans. In addition to delivering newspapers, they can also collect intelligence. It is also said that reporters from the World Economic News and even Morgans himself would disguise themselves as news birds and swagger around the sea.
The authenticity of most of the rumors is very questionable, but for the sake of caution, the actions of the Whitebeard Pirates still avoid all news birds. This kind of thing is "the first time in history" for them. The dignified Whitebeard Pirates, when had they ever suffered such injustice?
Many recent rumors and reports are very unfavorable to Whitebeard.
The world is such a big place, and of course it’s not just the Morgans who make news. There are many "tabloids" in the New World that have spread a lot of strange news.
Whitebeard was seriously injured in his attack on Kaido and died soon. There are endless talk about Whitebeard being old and unable to fight anymore. Sure enough, what Kaido said is not completely unreasonable. Most people only care about the results, and the means are not important. They automatically ignored the huge damage caused by Whitebeard to Kaido, and the reputation of "Dragon-Slaying" was concentrated on Rayleigh alone.
Many pirate groups even took this opportunity to attack Whitebeard's territory. Several pirate groups had previously attacked the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, and were undoubtedly beaten violently by Marco and Jozi, and they all sank to the bottom of the sea. At this time, the Whitebeard Pirates must not be soft-hearted and must use thunderous means to dispel their covetousness.
Otherwise, this big family will be in danger.
But there was nothing I could do, dad was seriously injured. As the ship's doctor, Marco knew very well that his father's body could not support any battle, at least in the short term, and even the side effects of using the Shock Fruit could cause great harm to him.
Although in terms of age, Whitebeard is not too old. But the problem is that the damage caused to oneself by years of bloody battles and the Shock Fruit has been accumulating, and it only takes an "opportunity" for it to all explode.
There is no doubt that this battle with Kaido is the "perfect" time for Whitebeard's injury to "explode".
The injuries accumulated from years of fighting and Devil Fruit abilities are too difficult to deal with, even with Marco's medical skills and Devil Fruit abilities.
This made Marco feel very bad.
He originally didn't plan to let his father read the latest newspaper, but Whitebeard couldn't bear the loneliness. For pirates, reading newspapers may be one of the few "entertainment" methods besides fighting and holding banquets. Now that Whitebeard was seriously injured, it was naturally impossible to drink or fight, so he wanted to read the newspaper more than ever.
"Marco, I'm not dead yet! What does it have to do with reading the newspaper?!"
Whitebeard, who was recovering from his injuries, was lying on a huge specially-made hospital bed with infusion tubes inserted all over his body. But in terms of momentum, he seemed not to be affected by the horrific injuries at all, and he still looked domineering.
Therefore, Marco had to buy a newspaper and give it to Whitebeard.
After reading the newspaper, White Beard's brows wrinkled slightly, then relaxed.
Whitebeard knew that Rayleigh killed Kaido. He was watching on the Moby-Dick at that time. He was a little "regretful" about Rayleigh killing Kaido. Unexpectedly, in the end, it was the members of the Roger Pirates who helped Kozuki Oden take revenge.
Another piece of news surprised him.
Unexpectedly, Auntie, that crazy woman, was seriously injured. He didn't believe in the raid on the G5 base or anything like that. This crazy woman obviously wanted to rush to Wano Country to support Kaido, but unexpectedly she was stopped by the navy on the way.
"Marco..." Whitebeard put the newspaper aside, "You have to practice harder!"
"Okay, Dad!"
"My body knows best. I will always die. From now on, the Whitebeard Pirates will always be entrusted to you. If you want to lead your family to live freely on the sea, strength is the only guarantee! "
Kaido's death and his and Big Mom's injuries gave Whitebeard a "crisis" mood.
He suddenly realized that he too was going to die. Children must take the key to the future into their own hands.
This battle not only completely changed the fate of the Beasts Pirates, but also completely changed the future of the Whitebeard Pirates...
