Chapter 527: The Roger Pirates' Downfall?
In the shadows, an Albatross in a suit continuously flapped its wings, using the white clouds as cover, holding a camera in its hand and capturing the final scenes.
That's right, it was Morgans.
Although he had received warnings from the World Government and the Faction behind them, was Morgans someone who would stick to the rules?
As a dedicated Reporter, how could he miss such big news?
This time, he personally took action, risking great danger.
Relying on the Albatross's special talent, he found this Battlefield when the great battle had lasted for two days.
Because everyone was seriously engaged in the battle, they didn't notice someone in the shadows.
This was also thanks to Morgans' considerable combat strength, especially his talent in concealing his aura, which is most important for an excellent Reporter.
However, strongmen are very sharp-sighted.
So, during the great battle, he didn't dare to record using a Visual Den Den Mushi at all.
He only dared to take a few photos with his camera at the last moment.
But for Morgans, this was enough; having evidence was everything.
Tomorrow's front page news was secured, but to be safe, he would release this news in a few days.
Of course, he wouldn't release it under the name of the World Economic Journal; these photos and evidence would be leaked unintentionally, having nothing to do with him.
Fortunate that he wasn't discovered and was still alive, Morgans, not daring to linger, was already prepared to be reprimanded by his behind-the-scenes boss and quickly fled the area.
Black Dragon flew all the way back to G-5 Fortress.
Soon, the intelligence was sent back to the World Government, who learned the specific details of this battle.
At the same time, they also learned that Fleet Admiral Kong was not at Headquarters but was engaged in a great battle with "The Lone Red" Redfield, who had invaded a Secret Research Base.
Headquarters was extremely empty, and the only one who could take action was Kong.
Although the World Government had combat strength, those who could be dispatched freely were basically all involved in the war against the Roger Pirates.
Combat strength like the Five Elders would not directly take action.
Although the Research Base was invaded, Vampire Race members were also precious.
However, they believed in Kong's strength.
Moreover, it wasn't enough to warrant the Five Elders personally taking action.
The technology for Life Essence was in the World Government's hands; even if the base was destroyed, it could be rebuilt.
If Vampire Race members died, they could be found again.
Ultimately, they didn't believe that "Steel Bone" Kong would lose to Redfield.
Kong was not only a monster who had experienced countless battles but also a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit User.
And Redfield was not an Ability User.
With everything reaching the peak level, they didn't believe Kong would be defeated.
However, the facts proved they were wrong; they didn't know that the current Redfield had already eaten the Vampire Fruit, which was also a Mythical Zoan.
Even without a Devil Fruit, Redfield still possessed the strength to defeat Kong.
Although Redfield hadn't developed his ability, the fruit's enhancement to his body was undeniable.
The enemy Kong had to face would be terrifying.
"Should we send people back for reinforcements?"
Upon receiving this intelligence, Tsuru looked at the others and asked.
"That's a monster who could defeat the Five Peaks Pirates by himself."
Currently, they couldn't guarantee the survival or downfall of the Roger Pirates, and many combat strengths definitely needed to be left behind to guard the New World.
With the great battle over, Tsuru had lost the power to command the Army and CP0 Agents; only the Marines could be sent back.
Moreover, this was inherently a battle between Pirates and Marines.
"Alright, I'll go back and take a look first.
I probably won't be needed here anymore."
Zephyr said, stepping forward after hearing this.
He could also check on the Cadets at the Elite Training Camp back at Headquarters.
"Then I'll go back too.
It's a good time to rest."
Roger's death made Garp feel very distressed inside; he didn't want to stay any longer and wanted to go back to recuperate for a while.
"I won't be leaving.
It's a good opportunity to give them some training."
The Marines in the New World definitely needed an Admiral to oversee the overall situation.
With two combat strengths leaving, Sengoku would be the one staying behind.
Sengoku had no objections either.
Without definite news of the Roger Pirates' downfall, he was still uneasy.
Zephyr and Garp, along with several other Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals and the wounded, sailed towards Marine Headquarters aboard Marine Warships.
They departed immediately, leaving the adjustment time for during the voyage.
Meanwhile, Sengoku and the others remained at G-5 Fortress.
They needed a few days to wait for Headquarters and other Fortresses to gather military strength and warships and send them to G-5 Fortress.
At the same time, there was also the transportation of supplies.
They needed manpower to search the surrounding sea area and report immediately if any whereabouts of the Roger Pirates members were found.
Large-scale search operations were not so simple to execute directly; they required some preparation time.
Intelligence Officers were also mobilized.
Two days later, news of the Roger Pirates' downfall somehow spread across The Great Sea.
It was said that the Marines and the World Government had dispatched numerous powerful combatants and brought about the Roger Pirates' downfall after they left Fish-Man Island for the New World.
Although there was no evidence, this news still quickly spread throughout the entire Great Sea, causing a huge stir and widespread discussion.
The Roger Pirates were a Legendary Pirate Crew capable of contending with the Flying Pirates; how could they have their downfall just like that, without any news reaching them at all?
Usually, for such great battles, the World Economic Journal would dispatch Reporter Birds for live streaming immediately.
But the World Economic Journal had made no move at all, so this news was likely false.
However, one day later, a few blurry photos suddenly circulated.
Although there were only photos, they could still guess what had happened.
The entire Great Sea was utterly shocked!
The whirlpool that swallowed everything!
The Roger Pirates' downfall!
