Chapter 125 World Shock [Part 2]
Sabaody Archipelago, somewhere near a wharf in the Lawless Zone.
A Pirate Ship was docked at the shore, with several Coating artisans busily working around it. Clearly, this was a Pirates Crew about to venture into the New World.
Not far from the Ship on the shore, a group of people were gathered, taking turns reading two newly purchased newspapers.
They were none other than the Nagreli Pirates, who had just arrived at Shambles after months of sailing.
"Captain, I really didn't expect that Nicholas guy to be so young yet so terrifyingly strong."
A tall, thin man with a Mohican hairstyle, after reading the report in his hand, passed it to his partner beside him, and couldn't help but sigh:
"I'm not much older than him, but he's already a Powerful Figure standing at the top of the Sea, while I'm still a nobody. The gap is just too big!"
"Yeah!"
Several people standing beside him deeply agreed. "With this kind of Strength, I'm afraid there aren't many people in the whole world who can compare!"
Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, Kaido.
Although they hadn't yet entered the latter half of the Grand Line, the New World, they were not unfamiliar with these names at all.
Those were terrifying existences truly standing at the pinnacle of this Sea. Those who could be compared to them, besides a few other Powerful Figures, were only the Fleet Admiral and Admiral of the Marines, and other such countable figures.
And now, such famous Powerful Figures were unable to gain an advantage in the fight against that Nicholas.
Even, if reinforcements hadn't arrived in time, Big Mom would have very likely been directly beheaded by Nicholas!
"Everyone, don't forget our Target is the Roger Pirates! Aren't we sailing out to Sea precisely to challenge them?"
The Captain, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke in a deep voice. A strange light flickered in his eyes, and the hand holding the newspaper trembled slightly. Clearly, his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
Even without witnessing the battle on Cake Island firsthand, the reports and photos in the newspaper were enough to imagine how intense the battle had been.
Although they had set sail from East Blue and advanced triumphantly all the way to Sabaody Archipelago, were they really a match for those Monsters?
Just Nicholas, Charlotte Linlin, and Kaido were already somewhat despair-inducing. Then, how terrifying would Roger's Strength be, who was faintly above them?
"Hahahaha, right, our Target is the Roger Pirates!"
"That's right, Captain possesses the legendary Conqueror's Haki."
"When we enter the New World, we will definitely let the Banner of our Nagreli Pirates fly above Islands everywhere in the New World!"
Listening to his Crew member's words, Nagreli gazed distantly at the Sky, and after a moment of silence, suddenly chuckled:
"The New World, huh? It's becoming more and more anticipated."
...
New World, on the Moby Dick of the Whitebeard Pirates.
A Crew member stood at the Ship's Railing, waving to a News Delivery Bird passing by.
Soon, a News Delivery Bird flapping its Wing landed on the Ship's Railing, took out a newspaper from the pocket on its chest with its beak, and the Pirate also took the newspaper with one hand and took out Beli from his pocket with the other to hand to the News Delivery Bird.
As for freeloading, if it were anything else, they would just directly rob it. However, News Delivery Birds were often in groups. If you dared not to pay, the Pirate Crew's Banner and Ship would be blacklisted by the entire News Delivery Bird group.
Afterwards, no News Delivery Bird would be willing to deliver the latest News to this Pirate Crew.
After the News Delivery Bird left, the Pirate opened the newspaper in his hand, and instantly cold sweat poured down his forehead.
"Captain... This is bad!"
He picked up the newspaper and rushed to find Whitebeard.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what's wrong?"
Looking at the flustered Crew member, Whitebeard asked while raising a Wine Jar and drinking Fine Wine.
The Pirate said breathlessly, "Big News, Big News! And it's Big News related to Big Mom, Nicholas, and Kaido!"
"Oh? Let me see."
Hearing this, Whitebeard couldn't help but perk up. He took the newspaper from his subordinate's hand, roughly scanned the headline report, and then laughed loudly.
"Gurarara, I didn't expect Lightning Kid to cause such a Big News so quickly."
After the other Crew members read the report, many of them were stunned for a full dozen seconds before they reacted. Some opened their mouths in disbelief and said with difficulty: "No way? That guy can actually fight against the combined forces of Kaido and Big Mom single-handedly?"
Many of these Crew members had participated in the battle against Totto Land, so they naturally knew Big Mom's Strength. After all, if Whitebeard hadn't completely suppressed Big Mom at the time, they would have definitely suffered heavy losses in the battle against Totto Land.
"Captain, that guy said he wants the Islands in our Territory. Is he trying to start a war with us?"
Some Crew members couldn't help but ask. This kind of behavior of demanding sheltered Islands was undoubtedly a kind of provocation.
After all, since the other party had chosen to Surrender to Whitebeard and paid tribute every year, the Whitebeard Pirates should provide them with protection.
"Gurarara, since that brat wants it, just give it to him. For those Islands, it's just a matter of changing the Banner."
Whitebeard said indifferently. For Whitebeard, Force was not what he pursued. In his opinion, fighting to the death for Force on the Sea was not as enjoyable as taking in sons everywhere.
"Hee hee hee, Whitebeard is in trouble this time."
On the Oro Jackson, Jabba looked at the newspaper and couldn't help but laugh. Obviously, he was happy to see his old rival possibly suffer a setback.
"I really didn't expect that brat's growth Speed to be so fast. It hasn't been long, and he's already so strong. And he obviously still has room to grow. Seeing this brat, I feel like I'm getting old."
Rayleigh leaned against the Ship's Railing, drinking Wine from a Wine Bottle, looking at the Sea in the distance with a face full of emotion.
"Rayleigh! Rayleigh!"
Just as Rayleigh was lamenting to the Sea, Roger's shout suddenly came from the Ship Cabin.
"Those two guys are at it again, come and take a look."
Along with Roger's shout, the faint sound of an Infant's crying came from the Ship Cabin.
"Coming, coming."
Rayleigh responded and walked helplessly towards the Ship Cabin.
A deserted Island in the New World.
Below this Island, there was a huge Space. Various instruments were placed in the Space. A woman with short golden hair, wearing a Leopard coat, was constantly operating something in front of a Laboratory table.
At this moment, a Monster with an Orangutan's Body, Tiger's limbs, Eagle's Wing on its back, and a Crocodile's Head, looking like a creature stitched together from various creatures, walked into the Laboratory with a newspaper in its mouth.
"Heh heh, Kaido and those guys? One day I will create a Work that will shock everyone!"
Just as the whole world was in an uproar because of the battle on Cake Island.
The Sea King Authority Ship, which had been sailing through the waves for several days, finally entered the Sea Area where Totto Land and Whitebeard's Force intersected.
Along the way, they also encountered some Pirates Crew, but those Pirates turned around and fled as soon as they saw the Sea King Authority Ship from afar.
As the saying goes, a person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Many times, a big Fist is the truth.
