"Ah? Why's that?"
The young sailor asked, instinctively puzzled.
The middle-aged sailor's face showed a look of reminiscence, recalling:
"That's because those guys, although they're top pirates in their hometowns, once they reach the Grand Line after countless hardships, all the newcomers start on the same line. Here, they're all 'newbies', and any place could become their grave."
The young sailor pondered, looking up and asking,
"Then paradise…?"
The middle-aged sailor pointed to his missing arm, smiling,
"As the name suggests, although it's a graveyard, for true strongmen, the more chaotic a place is, the more it becomes a paradise for the strong. As for the weak… well, like me."
The young sailor clicked his tongue, noticing the newspaper nearby, his eyes lit up:
"Alright, then that guy from the North Blue, now with a 1 billion Belly bounty, is he considered strong in the Grand Line?"
The middle-aged sailor hesitated for a moment.
"That kind of thing… uhm?"
Suddenly, the middle-aged sailor froze.
His eyes fixed on the distant sea.
"What's happening over there?"
The young sailor looked puzzled, following the middle-aged sailor's gaze.
The next second, upon seeing what was happening on the distant sea, the young sailor's pupils widened, his mouth unconsciously opening.
"Th-that? Over there…!"
The sea, gradually attracting the shocked gazes of many at the port, under the blue sky, was the direction where the large pirate ship carrying hundreds of pirates had just left.
However, the scene of the pirate ship sailing away didn't happen.
What appeared before everyone was the large pirate ship, capable of carrying hundreds of pirates, had just sailed a short distance.
"Boom-!" A sound like an explosion.
The ship suddenly disintegrated on the sea, no, it was more like it had been attacked by a colossal Sea King!
The entire ship turned into scattered debris!
"Co-cough, cough."
"Dam-damn it! That damned old man, I'll haunt him even in death!"
"Aaah! The ship I built by slaughtering several towns!"
From the sea, the curses of the pirates on that ship echoed.
The middle-aged and young sailors at the port, closest to the scene, finally reacted.
That large pirate ship, reduced to wreckage… hadn't encountered a Sea King?!
Or some strange current. The reason it had become like that… The two exchanged glances.
They could clearly see the disbelief in each other's eyes.
It was because of a "person"!
But, what kind of person?
Could destroy a large pirate ship capable of carrying hundreds of pirates in an instant!
At this moment, as the shattered large pirate ship became debris scattered on the sea, gradually, a small ship emerged from the wreckage.
Compared to the large pirate ship that could hold hundreds of pirates, the ship was incredibly small.
The image of a small leaf on a vast ocean was perfectly fitting.
But the arrival of this small ship, from the words of the pirates from the shattered large pirate ship, made almost everyone at the port hold their breath.
Especially, when the man on board gradually came into view, a pristine white shirt… a katana with an 'East-Law Spark Purple' hilt, an antique appearance… a strong, elderly physique seemingly untouched by time…
These characteristics…
"Gul…"
At this port on an island near the North Blue, in the first half of the Grand Line, someone involuntarily swallowed.
"No-no mistake, it's the guy from the World Economic News, the one who dared to kill a Celestial Dragon in the North Blue! Now officially wanted by the Navy with a 1 billion Belly bounty!"
"Ho-how?!"
"This can't be a lie?! That 'madman' killed a Celestial Dragon, instead of staying in the North Blue, he actually, actually came to the Grand Line!"
"My god, am I dreaming?!"
"Killed a Celestial Dragon… and dares to come to the Grand Line?!"
"Doesn't he know that the Grand Line is completely controlled by the Navy?!"
The people at the port felt a tremor in their hearts, their nerves jumping violently.
Thanks to Ignis Glow's help in informing the world, this island naturally saw the news of Ignis Glow's reckless actions.
For such a 'madman', some pirates were shocked, thinking that at Ignis Glow's age, he must be crazy for fame to dare to attack a World Noble Celestial Dragon.
But now, regardless of their previous thoughts, witnessing Ignis Glow's arrival in the Grand Line, almost everyone felt like they could barely breathe!
Without any action, without any approach, but… looking at the elderly man on the ship, the overwhelming sense of pressure emanating from the sea!
Reached its peak in everyone's hearts!
Then… when some people reacted, their first thought, was to get far away from this island port!
Of course, some people, remembering the Navy's announcement of Ignis Glow's terrifying 1 billion Belly bounty just minutes ago, driven by immense greed, had the thought, of immediately notifying the local Navy branch!!!
The one who dared to kill a Celestial Dragon in the North Blue, was no longer in the North Blue, but dared to enter the 'Grand Line' alone!
The Grand Line's First Half Miraculously Attracts Worldwide Attention Due to One Man's Arrival!
…
"Wh-what are you kidding?!"
"The Navy just issued a bounty, and he's entering the Grand Line in broad daylight!"
"What does this mean?"
