…Two Navy Admirals, their fates currently unknown to the outside world!
Each of these pieces of news was enough to send chills down anyone's spine.
Yet, all these events converged upon a single individual!
Thus, on the following day, when people discovered that an entire section of the Grand Line's sea had vanished, the results of the "monster vs. top-tier Navy monster" battle, sent shockwaves across the entire world!
…
The first to receive the news, and the first to react with disbelief, were naturally: The various towns, islands, kingdoms, and pirate forces located in the first half of the Grand Line.
Faced with this earth-shattering revelation, everyone's initial reaction was one of utter disbelief.
The news of the Admirals' deployment had sent shockwaves through the Grand Line.
Islands near Marineford had witnessed firsthand the Buster Call fleet, symbols of the Navy's unwavering commitment to justice, and the two Admirals leading the charge!
This terrifyingly large-scale deployment was enough to frighten any force on the sea, causing even the Yonko to take notice and prepare themselves!
Moreover, the Navy wasn't facing an endless horde of enemies.
Nor were they confronting a Yonko crew with vast influence and power, a force that instilled fear in the hearts of all in the New World.
It was a single man, who had traveled from the North Blue to the first half of the Grand Line.
Alone.
That was all.
Now, rumors were spreading like wildfire that the Navy had been defeated…?!
How could anyone believe it?
When the two Admirals had been deployed, while the world watched with bated breath, no one had anticipated a Navy defeat.
The Grand Line's navy branches had been placed on high alert precisely to prepare for a threat from the New World: The Whitebeard Pirates!
Regardless of the disbelief in the first half of the Grand Line, when various forces secretly dispatched personnel to the area where Ignis Glow had fought Akainu and Kizaru, and witnessed the recorded footage, the horrifying images caused all those who saw it to fall silent.
The reason was simple.
The footage showed… the sea, no, it could no longer be called a sea.
As far as the eye could see, under the blue sky, an area of hundreds of kilometers of sea had completely vanished!
As far as the eye could see, and as far as one could hear, there was only a seemingly endless expanse of cracked, parched seabed!
If it hadn't been clearly marked as a sea on the nautical charts, and if it hadn't been witnessed firsthand, no one would have believed it.
A single battle had, in a mere day, caused an entire sea to evaporate!!!
…
North Blue.
As news spread, G-64 Branch.
"Colonel Cree!"
"We have news about Ignis Glow… no, about that man!"
A young Navy officer rushed to the port.
Colonel Cree, a man with dark skin, took the report.
"What's the situation?"
Cree instinctively reached for the report, but even with it in his hands, he hesitated to look at the news, fearing the worst possible outcome.
Since Ignis Glow's departure from G-64, the branch had been closely monitoring their former, dedicated colonel.
Initially, when they heard that their former colonel had destroyed the Navy's fleet, they breathed a sigh of relief, also shocked by the revelation of his true, immense power.
But this good news was short-lived.
When they heard that two Navy Admirals had been deployed, the G-64 branch felt a collective chill, their hearts pounding.
As Navy personnel, they were well aware of the Admirals' immense power.
To be hailed as the peak of strength, meant they were monsters standing at the apex of the world.
The hearts of everyone in G-64 were in their throats.
Now, with the news arriving, Colonel Cree, the current head of G-64, found himself unable to look at the report.
He was terrified of seeing the news he most dreaded.
At that moment, nearby Navy personnel gathered, their voices filled with anger and resentment.
"Damn it, those bastards at the other North Blue branches, and that newly appointed Rear Admiral! We reported everything to the highest authority in the North Blue."
"But those bastards ignored us! They clearly want to cover up the fact that a Navy member destroyed a town."
"That's right…!"
"If Ignis Glow hadn't blocked the North Blue's route to the Grand Line before he left, we would have gone to Marineford ourselves".
"Even if we couldn't lessen his punishment, we would have made those bastards understand the truth!"
As voices rose, Cree interrupted sternly: "Enough".
Let's not talk about this anymore, and don't mention the former colonel's name.
Someone is deliberately delaying things, which means that person knows full well how rotten things have become.
"Let's not add to his burden!"
"Yes… Colonel Cree!"
The G-64 Navy personnel exchanged glances and nodded.
Then, Cree cautiously unfolded the newspaper.
His heart, along with those of the nearby Navy personnel, pounded in their chests.
Even though it was just a glance away, they only opened the paper when their hearts felt like they were about to leap out of their throats.
