章節 72: The World Reaction

World Economy Newspaper President's Office
The photos sent to Morgans captured the ferocity of the battle: Kitaro fighting Aokiji in a flamy battle, Kizaru with a blood on his arm, and the ravaged Enies Lobby left in ruins. Buildings were leveled, the Bridge of Hesitation shattered, Marine battleships broken, and even the monumental Gate of Justice struck down by a powerful lightning bolt.
The images of Shisui amazing battle with Aokiji, thunder vs ice, and Itachi confronting Vice Admirals spoke of an unimaginable resistance against Marine forces. Each shot brought Morgans to the edge of his seat.
This was the sensational news he'd been waiting for.
"Everyone, stop what you're doing!" Morgans yelled, clutching a photograph of Kitaro's Susanoo as if it were treasure. "I want the entire newspaper dedicated to this! Only us would get this news."
The newsroom exploded into a frenzy of activity. Within hours, the presses were rolling, printing copies as fast as they could.

All Across the World
The world was abuzz with Morgans' latest newspaper: the total annihilation of Enies Lobby by the mysterious Uchiha family. Morgans' newspaper, sold out as soon as it hit the stands, and people clamored to get a glimpse of the sensational photos and dramatic headlines.
"Read all about it! Marine's Buster Call obliterated! Admirals left injured! It's all because of the Uchiha." newspaper vendors shouted.
The people were stunned as they read the headlines.
"Did they destroy Enies Lobby?"
"They had beaten more than 10000 guards?"
"The Buster Call was wiped out?"
"Admiral Aokiji was injured! Admiral Kizaru was even about to lose his arm!"
Even those who initially dismissed it as fiction were quickly silenced by the shocking photos. Enies Lobby's ruins, battered Marine battleships, and pictures of the wounded Admirals were unmistakably authentic.
"What...what kind of power could do this?" gasped one reader.
"An entire Buster Call gone, with its Vice Admirals defeated?"
"And the Admirals couldn't even catch anyone from the Uchiha family?"
"It says they have the strongest power, the Thunder Fruit," another said, awestruck. "And the Admirals couldn't even hit this thunder fruit user!"
"Marine really launched a Buster Call, and it was completely wiped out?" one person murmured in shock as he couldn't believe the news.
As people read on, they learned that Uchiha Kitaro, a relatively unknown figure, wielded a godlike strange power and had fought not one but two Marine Admirals. "He's even dating the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock!" they marveled.
One sighed in admiration. "He's got power and the world's most beautiful woman... how lucky can that man be?"
"What kind of family is this Uchiha?" people whispered. The thought of such strength made many tremble.
"Imagine what happens if there are even more of them," someone muttered, a chill running down their spine. The three Uchiha who had emerged so far were already overwhelming. What if this mysterious family still had stronger members?
"The world is about to change…"

Marineford
The tension in the room was palpable. Sengoku slammed his fist onto the table, glaring at the newspaper. "Damn that Morgans! And these photos! Spreading Marine's disgrace to the world!"
The goat beside him tore a strip of newspaper from his hand and began munching on it, seemingly unfazed by Sengoku's fury.
"And you two!" Sengoku barked, turning to Kizaru and Aokiji, who stood before him with somber expressions. "Two Admirals were humiliated by a kid! The Marines look like a joke now!"
"This is a huge stain on Marine's reputation! How are the affiliated countries supposed to maintain confidence in our power now?! How many pirates will start thinking Marine is weak?!"
Kizaru rubbed the back of his neck, a pained expression on his face. "You know, Sengoku-san, these young folks these days... they're like monsters. Truly scary."
His usual not caring attitude was a little gone, replaced by genuine apprehension. The grip of Kitaro's Susanoo had been more than just painful—it had been humbling. He was surprised by the young man who wielded unparalleled swordsmanship, speed, and power at such a young age.
Aokiji, too, had a rare look of determination in his eyes. "Mr.Sengoku, I apologize. This was my mistake, and I'll take full responsibility for capturing him."
Sengoku sighed heavily, glancing at the photos again. thinking about the Uchiha family who had revealed themselves to the world, "why did they wait until now?"
A loud, hearty laugh erupted, filling the tense silence in the Sengoku's office.
"Hahahaha! Who would've thought a young brat could be so powerful!" Garp chuckled, lounging on a sofa with a donut in hand.
Sengoku glared at him. "Is this funny to you, Garp?! The news stating that two Admirals were defeated, Enies Lobby reduced to rubble! This isn't a joke! Do you realize what this means?! The world now has a new force growing, maybe will be on par with the Four Emperors in the future!"
Unfazed, Garp shrugged, biting into his donut. "Relax, Sengoku. They're a security company, not pirates. We shouldn't be that worried."
"Security company?!" Sengoku growled. "They dared to challenge the World Government! This Uchiha Security Company is nothing more than a lawless group of criminals! And they must be stopped!"

New World - Whole Cake Island
In a dim room at the heart of Big Mom's territory, her daughter, Charlotte Pudding, approached the massive figure lying on the bed.
"Mom! Big news! Something huge happened!" she announced, holding a newspaper.
Big Mom's scarlet eyes gleamed. "What's the excitement, Pudding?"
"Enies Lobby… it was destroyed," Pudding reported, her voice brimming with intrigue.
Big Mom scoffed. "Enies Lobby? That's nothing. I could send one of my sons to do that." But then she paused, her interest piqued as Pudding continued.
"It wasn't just Enies Lobby, Mom. Marine launched a Buster Call—yet it failed. Admiral Aokiji and Kizaru both showed up...and were defeated."
Big Mom sat up suddenly. "Is that true?" she demanded, eyes narrowing as she took the newspaper from Pudding. Her face turned serious as she scanned the pages, noting the pictures of Uchiha Kitaro and the mysterious Thunder Fruit user, Uchiha shisui.
"This Uchiha family… they're not like anything I've seen before." She licked her lips, her interest growing. "A new power want to rival the Four Emperors…"
She cackled, imagining the possibilities. "Uchiha Security Company… The three Uchiha... I want them." Her eyes sparkled with a hunger that promised a fierce pursuit.

New World - Wano Country, Onigashima
On the island fortress of Kaido of the Beasts, the world's Strongest Creature, the news was met with joy.
"Aokiji and Kizaru got beat up?" Kaido roared, throwing back a massive bowl of sake. "Hah! It's about time those Marines took a beating!"
Nearby, his subordinates reacted in their own ways.
"Marine Admirals taken down… That's insane!" Queen, the Plague, muttered, wide-eyed. "Those Admirals are supposed to be among the strongest fighters. They're monsters!"
"Bah! What's so special about the Admirals?" growled Jack, the Drought. "We'd kill them if they crossed us!"
Queen shook his head. "You brute! You think it's that easy?"
In the corner, King, the Conflagration, his eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "Those three Uchiha has such a remarkable and unique swordsmanship."
Queen stared at him. "Why are you focusing on that?!"
Kaido waved his hand dismissively. "Just another power, nothing more. The world is full of strong forces. This Uchiha clan is nothing we haven't seen before. If they want a place here, let them try to take it."

Red Hair Pirates
Laughter filled the Red Hair Pirates' ship as Shanks read the headlines, unable to contain his amusement.
"Hahahaha! The Admirals really took a hit this time! Serves them right!" Shanks slapped his knee, the rest of his crew laughing along.
Benn Beckman, though, was pensive as he skimmed through the article. "This Uchiha Security Company… they came out of nowhere, yet their strength is undeniable. From what we know, they seem connected to that Hancock, the Pirate Empress."
Shanks patted Benn Beckman on the shoulder casually. "What does it matter? This world is like a pool of stagnant water. More variables will just make things more interesting, right?"
Benn Beckman shook his head, slightly exasperated. His captain had always been this carefree, while he was the one considering the possibility of future conflicts.
"Alright, everyone! Get ready to set sail! With so much happening in the world, we can't just sit around!"
