018: Due to the Arrival of One Person, the First Half of the Grand Line Miraculously Attracted the Attention of the World!
...
"Are you kidding me?!"
"The Marines have just issued a reward order, and he actually entered the Grand Line alone in full view!"
"What does it mean?"
"Are you saying that you don't take the Marines and World Government seriously?!"
With Bai Ye appearing on the Grand Line, some forces in the first half of the Grand Line received news one after another.
The immediate reaction was almost that he was going crazy, restlessly pacing in place.
You could see the shock behind this news.
After all, who would have thought of a being who would kill Celestial Dragons in the North Blue?
Faced with a reward of 1 billion Berry issued almost immediately by the Marine government, not only did they not try their best to stay away from the sphere of influence of the Marines and World Government, but now...
The other party was alone... and had taken the initiative to step into the Grand Line!
This is simply an act of paying no heed to the Marine power that firmly controls the first half of the Grand Line—there is no difference!
Provocative? No, it should be seen as actively declaring war!
Then next, countless people were shocked.
How will the Marines react?
And once this idea appears, it will crawl like ants all over the hearts of everyone who pays attention to the news, unable to stop.
Not just the first half of the Grand Line...
There is a special message channel in the New World to receive the latest news.
The reaction of many forces is exactly the same!
New World.
Beasts Pirates' HQ.
Under a dark sky.
"Captain Kaido!"
"Another big thing has happened in the first half of the Grand Line!"
With horns adorned on his head, a Gifters pirate rushes into the cave with a Den Den Mushi.
"New news?"
"Gap~"
The strong smell of alcohol hit his face.
Then, it was a tall figure with muscles all over his body twisted like steel bars, and a huge figure with soaring horns on both sides of his head opened his eyes.
It is none other than Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, known as a sea emperor in the New World!
"I haven't said it before, I am not interested in any plans like the Marines."
"No, no, Captain Kaido!"
The Gifters pirate quickly shook his head.
With a shocked face, he said:
"It was the guy who dared to kill Celestial Dragons before. After being offered a bounty by the Marines, the other party took the initiative to enter the Grand Line!"
"What's so special about this kind of thing... huh?"
Kaido suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the frightened subordinate in front of him and muttered:
"Interesting... Killing those Celestial Dragons who are easy to cause big troubles, what is that guy thinking? Taking the initiative to go to the first half of the Grand Line controlled by the Marines?"
Kaido suddenly raised his head and laughed:
"Whoa! This is an interesting guy; pay more attention."
"Yes, Captain Kaido!"
"It's really interesting... A guy I've never heard of has such confidence... I'm really curious about how things will develop next. Is this guy a monster hidden among the people?"
As one of the Four Emperors, Kaido was aware there were many powerful yet unknown individuals in this world.
But there were also those who bluffed.
Which category did this guy belong to?
Thinking this, Kaido shook his head.
"Forget it, let's see the result first... If he really is a monster hidden among the people, I wonder if he can give old me a death wish. It's really getting boring!"
Kaido picked up the wine jar and poured it down his throat.
Meanwhile, as Kaido took an interest here,
Similar scenes were frantically unfolding all over the world.
The Big Mom Pirates.
The Whitebeard Pirates.
Even... the Revolutionary Army and others.
They couldn't help but pay attention to the first half of the Grand Line. Just what did Bai Ye want to do?
Certainly, others thought Bai Ye was a mere lunatic.
Take the Big Mom Pirates, for example.
They believed that the strength of the Marine meant that the guy who killed Celestial Dragons would inevitably face the wrath of the World Government and the Marine Government.
That's why, instead of being apprehended, he chose to pursue a glorious demise.
Why else would he head straight for the Grand Line?
Regardless of the current outcome,
There were still those on the Grand Line whose immense greed caused them to fixate on Bai Ye's bounty.
Or those who guessed Bai Ye's purpose.
At this moment, it was undeniable.
Today, the first half of the Grand Line, due to the arrival of one man,
Miraculously drew the attention of the entire world!
Simultaneously, Bai Ye placed his left hand on the purple hilt of Ryūjin Jakka.
Not far off at sea, within sight,
Behind the pirate ship whose greed for Bai Ye's 1 billion Berry bounty couldn't be contained, were the warships bearing the Marine government's emblem!
"The speed of the Marines... is really fast," Bai Ye mused, his exceptional eyesight recognizing the Marine general at a glance, a chill emanating from his indifferent eyes.
"There's no need for me to take the initiative to search. They have delivered themselves to my doorstep."
