Kapitel 53: The World Trembled
Above Sabaody Archipelago, news birds gracefully soared through the open sky, their wings carrying the latest tidings for the island's eager residents. A cascade of newspapers, akin to a gentle snowfall, fluttered down, each sheet promising a glimpse into recent events. Yet, this day's newspapers bore an unusual air.
A colossal sheet caught the attention of the islanders, its front page dominated by a striking black and white image that spanned the entire paper. The focal point of the image? Whitebeard, a legendary figure in the world of pirates! The subsequent content unfolded a tale that left Sabaody Archipelago in suspense.
"What's this all about?" The islanders exchanged suspicious glances, flipping through the pages with anticipation. A hush fell as their eyes absorbed the startling revelation.
The headline declared: "The Summit War of Marineford is over!"
Whitebeard, one of the fearsome Four Emperors, had single-handedly triumphed over a colossal force of a hundred thousand Marines, rescuing the captive Ace and emerging victorious in the fierce battle. The islanders were taken aback, disbelief etched on their faces.
"This can't be real..."
The skepticism echoed through the crowd as trembling hands continued to unfold the newspaper. While the details of the Marineford clash were scant, the truth remained clear—Whitebeard was alive, and his pirate fleets suffered minimal losses.
"Marine Headquarters destroyed! Whitebeard sank the entire island!"
The words hung in the air, sinking into the consciousness of the onlookers. Shock and horror gripped their hearts, and a chorus of disbelieving shouts erupted.
"Marines lost?"
"How is this possible? Didn't Fleet Admiral Sengoku summon a hundred thousand elite marines?"
"That man is more terrifying than the Pirate King himself. Is the world on the brink of destruction?"
Fear and panic rippled through the crowd. Despite Whitebeard's benevolent reputation in providing shelter to many, the World Government and the Marine had painted him as a villain. Now, with his unexpected triumph, the world seemed to crumble in the eyes of the ignorant and fearful.
Amidst the chaos, the ordinary people succumbed to fear and despair, their panic palpable. Markets became a frenzied scene of rushed escape, as if the mere thought of Whitebeard's arrival propelled them into a frenzy.
As the news rippled beyond Sabaody Archipelago, it engulfed the world in a whirlwind of shock and awe. The image of Whitebeard on the front page became a symbol of upheaval, spreading fear and uncertainty to every corner of the globe.
In the span of a few days, the news transcended borders, reaching every nook and cranny of the world. The sheer magnitude of the revelation shook the very foundations of society.
The world trembled.
Before the Summit War of Marineford, confidence in the Marines was unwavering. The belief that they would triumph over Whitebeard and restore peace reigned supreme. However, the tables turned with the news of the Marines' defeat, extinguishing hope like a sudden downpour of cold water.
Panic swept through the masses, screams of despair reverberating as if the world teetered on the brink of its end.
Yet, amidst the chaos, some voices rose with excitement.
"The Marines were defeated! Whitebeard is too strong!"
"Incredibly strong! I must set sail for the sea, witness his power in the New World!"
As the news spread like wildfire, the world grappled with the aftermath of the Summit War, its very fabric shaken by the unexpected turn of events.
Amidst the deafening roars of excitement, a sea of people surged towards the shore. It was a day like no other, a brief window of time when thousands flocked to the coast with a singular purpose in mind - to set sail for the elusive New World and catch a glimpse of the legendary Whitebeard.
The fervor wasn't confined to a single region. Far away in the calm waters of the East Blue, a pirate ship cut through the serene sea. The tranquility shattered as boisterous laughter echoed through the air, carried by the wind.
"Whitebeard emerged victorious! He took down 100,000 Marines and claimed victory!" exclaimed a man dancing with unbridled excitement. This jubilant figure was none other than Ferguso, the spirited captain of the Ferguso Pirates, a twenty-year-old sensation in the East Blue.
Despite his youth, Ferguso had carved a name for himself with a bounty of 15 million Berry, a force to be reckoned with in the otherwise feeble East Blue. However, he had yet to venture into the Grand Line for various reasons, until fate intervened on this momentous day.
"I've decided! I'm setting sail to the New World, joining the Whitebeard Pirates!" Ferguso declared with exuberance, the prospect of joining the crew of the man who single-handedly defeated the formidable Marine Headquarters fueling his resolve.
As Ferguso reveled in his decision, a crew member, more cautious, voiced concerns. "Whitebeard's crew is formidable. Even if we reach the Grand Line, there's no guarantee he'll accept us."
Undeterred, Ferguso, with a nonchalant chuckle, replied, "If he denies us, I'll follow him tirelessly until he accepts. One day, I'll sail with him in the seas of the New World!"
Little did Ferguso know, his ambitions were shared by countless dreamers from every corner of the world—West Blue, South Blue, North Blue, and even those who had traversed the treacherous waters of the first half of the Grand Line. News of Whitebeard's triumph had ignited a collective yearning.
Their singular purpose resonated—join the Whitebeard Pirates, sail alongside the mightiest man in the world. The name "Whitebeard" had become a fatherly figure to Ferguso, but he was just one among the multitude whose dreams set sail towards the New World. The horizon was ablaze with infinite possibilities for those who dared to dream.
