[Chapter Size: 2100 Words.]
Third Person POV
New World, Second Half of Grandline.
...
...
As Kaido prepared to face Whitebeard, on the other side of the same sea, there was a giant woman devouring her sweets, and as she waited eagerly, a subordinate began reading the newspaper.
"Come on, read. I'm already losing my patience," said Big Mom, dissatisfied, as the man trembled in fear. He picked up the newspaper, shaking, and began to read in front of the entire Charlotte family, gathered around the place.
As he read the news, the family had a varied reaction: some frowned, while others maintained a neutral look; some were restless with what they heard. Since this pirate group was in their sights as soon as they arrived in the New World, and they would have to engage in a battle between them.
Big Mom frowned as soon as the subordinate looked up and was cautiously looking at her. "Are you saying that kid is on this level? What will they think of us, emperors, when a rookie is facing admirals, while we are just taking care of territories?" Big Mom growled, as the man trembled and, before he could react, Big Mom unleashed her anger on the man, devouring his soul without him being able to react. The man fell dead to the ground while no one reacted to this, being a common situation among the family, even her children were not immune to her wrath when she got angry, killing many of them over the years.
"Damn that Kaido, that bastard, he's already given his daughter to this rookie. However, we can still take something for ourselves. In fact, there's someone on that Germa ship that I have been in contact with and intend to have that person," she spoke with a bit of anger.
The atmosphere remained as she returned to eating her sweets to quell her bad mood and her ensuring that she did not go mad.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, on a ship in the middle of the sea, Marco picked up the newspaper that day from a carrier seagull, and as soon as he saw the news, he was entirely shocked by it, staying planted in place while other members of the boat noticed his strange behavior.
"Marco, why are you like this? What's in the newspaper?" the commander of the fifth division, the Floral Swordsman Vista, asked, curious, seeing the reaction of the first division commander.
Marco noticed the commander of the third division, Diamond Jozu, of the sixth division, Blamenco, and of the eighth division, Namur, also approaching, curious to know what was in the newspaper that day, there could be some news of Ace.
Meanwhile, Whitebeard was sitting in his chair in the middle of the deck, looking patiently at the sea, feeling that something bad was happening in his intuition, and his heart seemed to weigh with that feeling, but still unable to guess what it meant, just with a bad feeling and a bitter taste in his mouth.
He looked at Marco with the newspaper, waiting to see if he could find out if the feeling was coming from that newspaper. "Marco, what is it?" He asked calmly.
Marco seemed to come out of his daze looking around and seeing his companions waiting for him to announce what was in the newspaper, but he approached the middle of the ship, ignoring all the other commanders, he took the newspaper going straight to Whitebeard, "father," Marco started, with a voice that did not know how he would continue his sentence. "The news is shocking, something big happened in paradise." he murmured.
"What is it, Marco?" Whitebeard spoke curiously.
"It's about Ace's brother, and he has outdone himself this time. Look for yourself," Marco said, placing the newspaper in front of him and showing it to Whitebeard, who was looking in the distance, making him open his eyes at that.
"Ace's brother did this?" he murmured, he said with a thoughtful expression as he narrowed his eyes while everyone waited to see his next reaction, even not knowing the news that Marco had not yet shown.
As the whole ship was in silence with dozens of eyes looking at the strongest man in the world, his reaction was quite iconic, because he began to laugh the next moment. "Gurararararara!" He began to laugh, and continued laughing even louder, forgetting that bitter feeling from before, and looking at the photo of Straw Hat and his crew.
"There's never been a rookie like him before," Whitebeard had to admit. "It seems like times are about to change soon," he murmured, cracking his characteristic smile, while the others listened, quite confused.
For Newgate, he recognized that he was old and knew that his time would not last much longer. Nor were the other Yonkou so young, with the exception of Shanks, and the emergence of such a powerful crew now, that had not even set foot in the New World, should be the announcement of a New Era.
He had to admit, but he was happy that, at least, this was Ace's brother, someone who could easily create a connection with his crew. Perhaps, after his death, there would still be a strong alliance. Whitebeard always thought about the future of his children like any loving father, and he still sought who would inherit his will after his death, which approached every day.
His body could no longer hold up, he was no longer young. Waiting for a strong ally was the best possible thing, after all, none of his members could come close to his current strength to protect their territories.
"What is it, Marco? Let me see. Is this Ace's brother?" asked one of the commanders who attacked at that moment wanting to see what was so special in the newspaper.
As the newspaper was finally seen by everyone, numerous reactions came from them, "What? He fought against two admirals and destroyed one of the three great government structures?!" Exclaimed one of the commanders.
"An admiral really did this?" questioned another commander. "He never said he was that strong. And to think that he's already at this level in Paradise, and must be coming to the New World right now. I wonder what will happen soon," said another, looking curious as everyone gathered to see.
"Today his bounty is one billion. Have you ever seen a rookie with such a bounty?" said another, exclaiming to his companions. While no one could respond, he continued: "Will they be friends or foes?"
"Don't be silly, he's Ace's brother, of course, he'll be our ally!" said another.
"Look at this Reiju! She has the same fruit as Marco!!!" One exclaimed with one of the posters.
"That should be impossible!" Marco couldn't help but exclaim.
"This crew is filled with powerful Devil Fruits!! What will happen in the future..." Someone murmured.
"The New World is going to change," Whitebeard spoke for the first time after a while, making everyone look at him. "The world is changing. A New Era is coming. Someone so powerful emerging, with a crew also so strong, even having Kaido's daughter as his vice-captain, is really incredible, maybe this is the man you were waiting for, Roger? The man who will challenge the entire world?" Whitebeard said the last part looking up at the sky, thinking about the old rival.
Elsewhere in the New World, Shanks was looking at the newspaper. "He really did it. How did he become so strong?" Meanwhile, the entire crew looked around him, with most having incredulous looks.
Having known about the boy's existence many years ago, they couldn't help but be all amazed by this. In the end, he faced two admirals and still came out alive and escaped. It may not have been a victory, but certainly something extraordinary for a rookie who entered the sea less than a year ago and hadn't even entered the New World to face the real sea of pirates.
"And to think that he's this strong. Can anyone stop him at this pace?" said Lucky Roux, biting into his meat.
"Pretty soon we'll meet them, won't we?" asked Limejuice to Shanks.
"My son is with them. It's a shame he didn't participate in the fight. Still, I'm sure that we'll meet soon," said Yasopp.
While the Red-Haired Pirates crew commented with a Shanks looking dazedly at the newspaper, Benn Beckman approached the pile of bounties of the crew going through one by one until he found a poster that made his cigar fall from his mouth.
"Well, you won't be the only one finding a child here," Benn Beckman started, still with a dazed face, handing the poster to Shanks, making his captain shift his bewildered gaze from Luffy to an even more startled one, even dropping the newspaper. After all, the poster showed a specific member of the Straw Hat crew, one of the newest.
"She... She really is... With Luffy?" Shanks murmured in disbelief, feeling a whirlwind of emotions inside him, while everyone else seemed quite shocked by it as well. After all, they all had shared many years with that little girl more than 10 years ago, and now she was back at sea again, and on a pirate crew that would soon arrive in the New World, which made them quite cautious, not knowing how to react to their encounter. After all, they had practically abandoned her with a broken heart, wondering how that little girl had suffered because of it.
"Shanks, are you okay?" asked Benn Beckman, looking at Shanks.
"I am, it's just that I don't know if I can face her," he spoke with a melancholic tone.
There had been only two times in his life that Shanks had cried: once at the death of his Captain at Loguetown's execution square, and once for leaving his daughter behind. Now, one of those holes left in his story was coming here, and he did not know how to react to interest with the girl. But still, there was a feeling of pride, allowing a smile to appear on his face despite the emotions he felt.
"It seems that Uta has met with Luffy, and Luffy has placed her under his flag, and she looks sad in the poster... She always said she hated pirates above all and hated war, but she's on a pirate ship..." Shanks looked up with some glimmer emerging from his eyes, wondering what will happen when they meet again. And that day was getting sooner, with Luffy becoming so powerful and unstoppable that it wouldn't be long before he reached his level at this pace.
On another island, in a specific desert, people were gathered in a room with several newspapers.
"Did you see the meteor? Everything indicates it was headed for Mary Geoise. That means someone attacked the World Government, but who would do that?" spoke one of the revolutionary agents as they joined looking at the identical newspapers.
There was a situation of urgency happening there. After all, who could send a meteor to the Holy City? And who would have the courage to do that, leaving all the revolutionaries shocked by this!
"Everything indicated that the meteor was heading there, but, somehow, it fell at the foot of the mountain. It means the World Government did something against that attack. The question is: who did it and how did they do it?" they wondered.
"The World Government will not fall so easily," a new voice emerged. Dragon walked through the corridor, in the middle of the crowd, looking at the newspapers while everyone looked at him, again hearing his tone as he continued.
"The government is not so easy to topple. They have hidden forces that we can't even imagine. Don't worry too much about this event until we have any information about it and it's not under our control. Let's continue our work, after all, our goal is to rid the world of the World Government to give freedom to this world," he spoke, going to his room and closing the door as he stayed alone.
Picking up today's newspaper, he glanced over the article about the meteor. After all, that was not what interested him now, but rather, his son.
"You really are getting so strong, Luffy. Maybe it's you who will change the world, and not me," Dragon spoke, as he looked at the photo of his son with a billion-bounty poster, showing that he had grown much stronger in just two or three months since they met in Loguetown.
