"The Warlord Crocodile's plot to seize Alabasta has been thwarted, and Marine Captain Smoker..."
As various forces made their way to Hachinosu, news of the Sand Crocodile's capture by the Marines spread throughout the world.
There were two main points in this news: first, the Sand Crocodile's plan to usurp the country, and second, Marine Captain "White Hunter" Smoker, who exposed and defeated the Sand Crocodile.
Smoker, who already had some fame, immediately became widely known and was hailed by the public as a pillar of the Marines' younger generation.
And after this incident, a certain pirate's rapidly increasing bounty also attracted the attention of many forces.
"Straw Hat" Luffy, bounty 100,000,000 Berry!
A rookie pirate who rapidly rises in a short period and whose bounty exceeds 100,000,000 Berry will be given the title of "Supernova."
They are idols worshipped by countless rookie pirates.
Daichi was also given the title of Supernova back then, but compared to his background and other titles, Supernova was insignificant.
Groudon, bar
"So fast!"
Daichi put down Straw Hat's bounty poster.
On the Grand Line's seven routes, except for a few islands where magnetic force accumulates slowly, pirates spend most of their time at sea.
Staying on each island for three days is considered leisurely.
And at the Straw Hat Pirates' speed, they probably head to the next island as soon as the Log Pose is fully charged, making very fast progress.
Yamato came to the bar in high spirits.
"Daichi, I see Hachinosu!"
"Good."
Daichi smiled and nodded.
Hancock often picked fights with Yamato, so he specifically brought Yamato along, and Yamato got along very well with the captains.
She also wanted to come and see Marco's child.
"It's Groudon!"
As Groudon docked, the pirates on Hachinosu were shocked.
A big shot has arrived!
An outdoor seating area outside a certain cafe
Cavendish was drinking coffee with his beloved horse, Farul, his handsome face and elegant demeanor attracting a large crowd of women, all with hearts in their eyes.
The pirates gritted their teeth in jealousy.
"That guy is the problem rookie!"
"Stay away from him!"
"The dozen or so murders that have happened recently at night seem to be his doing!"
For some time now, a "Slasher" has appeared on Hachinosu, only appearing late at night, and many people have been murdered.
Many pirates suspected Cavendish was the killer, as there was a similar rumor about him.
Rommel's Kamaitachi!
But there was no evidence. All the pirates who had seen the Slasher had died.
Cavendish showed a mysterious smile, picked up a rose, and put it to his lips.
"Waaah!"
The ladies screamed and fainted one after another.
"This young master is so popular!!!"
Cavendish excitedly cupped his face.
He loved this feeling!
However, his popularity had been continuously declining recently, and the discussions about him in the newspapers had significantly decreased, replaced by another group of people.
"Clang!"
Cavendish gnashed his teeth, pulled out a dagger, and plunged it into Straw Hat Luffy's wanted poster, his eyes filled with jealousy.
Another Supernova!
Kid from the South Blue, Law, Hawkins, and Drake from the North Blue, all Supernovas with bounties over 100,000,000 Berry, received the same treatment.
There were also Killer, Capone Bege, Zoro, Bonney, and others whose bounties were rising sharply, posing equally significant threats.
In previous years, the number of Supernovas generally did not exceed three, but this year, Supernovas seemed to appear in droves.
The newspapers were full of their news!
"I'm going to kill all these guys!"
Cavendish's face was distorted with jealousy.
It was these damned rookies who stole his popularity, forcing him to come to the chaotic Hachinosu, trying to create some big news.
"Mr. Daichi has arrived!"
Suddenly, the pirates on the street all ran towards the port, even the ladies who were charmed by him abandoned him and ran towards the port.
"What's going on?"
Cavendish was stunned for a moment, then furious.
His remaining popularity was going to be stolen too!
Unforgivable!
"Farul!"
Farul whinnied, showing a handsome smile to Cavendish, his white teeth sparkling.
Get on me!
As Cavendish's horse, Farul also liked to show off.
Cavendish mounted his white horse and immediately galloped towards the port. No matter who it was, he would make them pay the price!
The port was bustling with people
"Daichi-sama!"
"Ahhh, so handsome!"
"Don't talk nonsense, that's Haki!"
The pirates welcomed Daichi, each one cheering excitedly.
Everyone knew that Daichi-sama was both powerful and wealthy, and the Hoenn Community he built was now the most famous place on Hachinosu, even hailed as "Paradise"!
Living there was like living in paradise.
For the pirates of Hachinosu, living in Hoenn Community was one of their dreams, but the housing prices were too high.
And there was a market but no price.
But that was not the Hoenn Community's problem. It was their problem!
They were too poor, they were not worthy!
Not only that.
If one was lucky enough to work in Hoenn Community, even if it was just as a security guard, they would be superior.
Good treatment was one aspect. Hoenn itself represented high-end, on a different level from these low-level pirates.
Every time Hoenn Community recruited, just for registration, pirates would fight to the death, with dozens of people dying.
And the Golden Route was also Daichi-sama's property. Just one trip to the North Blue and one score could make them comfortable for a whole year. The North Blue was several times richer than the New World.
It was said that the North Blue had become Daichi-sama's backyard, and even the World Government and the Marines could not do anything about it.
It could be said that Daichi-sama brought wealth, stability, and hope for a better life to the underworld.
Today, Daichi-sama's influence in the underworld is unmatched, a great figure comparable to the Yonko!
The savior of villains!
"Huh, am I that popular?!"
Daichi was a bit surprised.
He had not been to the New World in a long time, and he did not expect himself to be so popular, even the female pirates had hearts in their eyes and were infatuated with him.
Jiehehehehe~~
He loved this feeling!
The Legion Commanders accompanying Daichi were also shocked by the scene before them, unable to understand why their extremely fierce General was so popular.
You're kidding, right?!
They had personally experienced their own countries being violently invaded by him, and his cold-blooded blade had killed countless people.
How could such a villain be popular!
"The Whitebeard Pirates have arrived!"
Upon learning of Daichi's arrival at the port, the captains rushed to the port to welcome him.
As shareholders of Hoenn Community, even if they only received 30% of the profits, it made them truly feel the taste of wealth.
So much money they could not spend it all!
Just the annual property management fee dividends alone were enough for them to splurge for an entire year, plus additional income like shop rents.
This money came faster than plundering!
Hearing of Daichi's arrival, they naturally paid close attention.
On the outskirts of the crowd, Cavendish looked at Daichi, who was being welcomed by everyone, and he was in a daze.
"This young master has never had such immense popularity!"
Even at the peak of his popularity, he had never been so well-liked. It would be one thing if the other person was more handsome than him.
No, there would never be a man more handsome than him in this world!
Why was the other person more popular than him? Why was not anyone looking at him?!
The scene before him completely defied common sense.
"Move, you're blocking my view!"
Cavendish, both man and horse, was forcibly pushed aside by the pirates behind him, which completely darkened his mood, his handsome face turning half white and half black.
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy!
Waaah, he was dying of jealousy!
