—Newspapers scattered across the world like snowflakes.
The front-page photo was stark and terrifying: Roy hovering in the sky, punching Kaido into the earth, while facing off against Whitebeard and Shanks alone!
The world was shaken! The New World was in turmoil!
Marines, Pirates, Revolutionaries, the World Government—everyone was stunned!
Onigashima - Beast Pirates' Base
"BOOM—!!!"
The main doors of the great hall were smashed open. King, carrying a blood-soaked Kaido with a broken horn, stumbled in and collapsed in the center of the hall, blood staining the steps!
"LORD KAIDO!!!"
"KING?! WHAT HAPPENED—?!"
Queen and Jack turned pale, rushing forward to support them!
Kaido was a bloody mess. His chest was caved in, his Haki nearly extinguished, his life force flickering like a candle in the wind!
King gritted his teeth, forcing out his last words through sheer will. "Lock down Onigashima... Wano... defenses... full retreat..."
Before he could finish, his eyes rolled back, and he passed out from his injuries!
"KING!!!"
Cold sweat poured down Queen's face as he roared frantically. "QUICK!!! MEDICAL TEAM!!! GET CAESAR HERE TOO!!! HURRY!!!"
Onigashima erupted into chaos. Screams, footsteps, and shouted orders filled the air!
Countless Beast Pirate officers gathered outside the hall, watching Kaido being carried away, their faces ashen!
"Lord Kaido... how could he be hurt like this?!"
"Who did he fight?!"
A freshly delivered copy of the World Economic Journal was thrown to the ground. The bold red headline was blinding: [MARINE ROY BATTLES TWO EMPERORS ALONE]
Silence fell over the Beast Pirates. A chill spread through the crowd—
They suddenly realized that the myth of the "Strongest Creature" might be crumbling.
Totto Land - Whole Cake Island
On her luxurious throne, Charlotte Linlin was acting out of character. She wasn't eating cake, nor was she raging.
She was simply staring intently at the Vivre Card in her hand—Kaido's Vivre Card. The flame was extremely weak, threatening to go out at any moment!
The hall doors were pushed open violently.
"MAMA!!!"
Perospero rushed in, panic on his face, waving the headline newspaper!
"Big news!!! Kaido—he!!!"
Big Mom snatched the paper, her eyes scanning the thunderous headlines: "Kaido... ambushed Zephyr with King?"
"Whitebeard joined the fray, Roy... fought two Emperors alone?!"
"Kaido heavily injured and fled?!!"
Her pupils contracted violently, and she crushed the newspaper in her hand!
After a long silence, she murmured, "Kaido... even you could be beaten like this?"
At this moment, a glint of cunning ambition flashed in Perospero's eyes. He whispered tentatively, "Mama... should we take this chance to mobilize?"
"Swallow up... the Beast Pirates' territory?"
"We've coveted the weapons factories in Wano for a long time—"
"SHUT UP!!!!"
A roar exploded!
Big Mom stood up abruptly, Conqueror's Haki bursting out like a tide!
"BOOM!!!"
The entire cake hall cracked instantly, desserts exploding. Perospero turned pale, falling to his knees and trembling, soaked in cold sweat!
She exhaled coldly, sitting back on her throne, a trace of worry and unease in her eyes. "That Marine brat... Roy..."
"He's no longer just a Marine rookie."
"He is a man who can shake the throne of the Emperors."
"KATAKURI!!!"
A majestic command rang out.
Katakuri flashed forward, kneeling. "Here!"
"Take an elite team immediately to the western border of Wano—"
"Guard the entrance. Stabilize Kaido's territory."
"I don't want to see him lose another soldier or inch of land."
"Yes."
Katakuri was confused, but he didn't dare question her. He accepted the order and retreated quickly.
Once everyone had left, Linlin sat alone on her throne, looking out at the broken sky through the window, whispering, "Kaido... even you were defeated?"
"Is this era... really changing..."
Revolutionary Army HQ - Baltigo
"Kaido... was actually beaten like that?!"
"And by a Marine Vice Admiral?!"
In the Revolutionary Army's war room, the atmosphere was boiling like a volcano.
A group of officers gathered around a round table, the newspaper spread in the center. The huge front-page photo showed Roy hovering in the air, punching Kaido with shocking force. The headline was striking:
[MARINE RISING STAR ROY FIGHTS TWO EMPERORS ALONE! KAIDO HEAVILY INJURED AND FLEES!]
"This is exaggerated, right? Is this a war report or a myth?"
"The New World is going to be in chaos! If an Emperor falls, the entire power map will collapse!"
"Don't forget... Kaido still has the Beast Army on Onigashima. If they fully retreat into defense, normal forces can't break in!"
The officers looked grave, already visualizing a series of potential upheavals in the war situation.
On the other side—
Sabo held the newspaper, staring intently at the photo of the fist breaking the sky, his eyes full of passion and excitement, fists clenching audibly.
"As expected of Big Bro Roy!"
"That is a true hero!!!"
His tone was filled with admiration and excitement.
Koala, seeing this, couldn't help but roll her eyes and facepalm. "...Sabo, calm down, okay? Don't act like a fanboy."
Sabo laughed carelessly, scratching his head with a sunny smile. "But don't you think it's awesome? Big Bro Roy suppressed two Emperors alone!"
Koala sighed. "Don't forget we're the Revolutionary Army... You're the Chief of Staff now, and you're acting like the president of Roy's fan club."
"Our goal is to overthrow the World Government, not to applaud the Marines."
Sabo grinned, but his eyes showed seriousness. "People worthy of respect deserve admiration, even if they are Marines."
These words made Koala pause. Her gaze involuntarily drifted to the corner of the room—
There, Monkey D. Dragon stood silently, staring deeply at the image on the newspaper.
He didn't speak, just quietly gazing at the figure of Roy punching the sky in the photo, his expression deep as the ocean.
No one knew what he was thinking.
Holy Land Mariejois - World Government Power Room
The Five Elders sat at their round table, the atmosphere solidified like iron.
The latest issue of the World Economic Journal was spread in the center. The photo of the "Galaxy Impact" moment was enlarged, black-red lightning falling like a meteor, terrifying to behold.
"Roy... is actually this fierce?"
"That's not just ordinary strength. That's the hard power to directly force back two Emperors."
"Although intel shows Kaido fought a gauntlet against Zephyr, Enel, and Whitebeard before fighting Roy, what about Roy?!!"
"He teleported people from Marineford all the way across the New World!!! The stamina consumption alone is staggering!!!"
"Yet even so, he could still forcefully blast back Kaido, take Whitebeard head-on, and withstand Shanks' slash..."
"The most critical point is, he's still alive!"
"And standing there almost unharmed!!!"
Silence filled the room.
The five old men looked at each other, their faces graver than ever before.
Finally, one of them spoke in a low voice. "The control plan targeting Roy... withdraw it for now."
"In the short term, it's best not to provoke him."
"With his ability... if he really gets angry, he might be harder to control than a pirate."
The other four exchanged glances and nodded slowly.
"..."
"Agreed."
"Hm."
"Let's proceed with that."
The confidential document titled "Risk-Level Individual Handling Suggestions," which was pressed under the newspaper, was gently pulled out and slowly torn to pieces.
