章節 71: Big News

Water 7
The legendary Rocketman, a modified sea train known for its rampaging speed, sat quietly on the tracks. The creaking doors opened, and a steady stream of people began stepping off, their faces filled with disbelief and confusion.
"Wait… where are we?" Luffy's crewmates murmured, glancing around at the familiar but unexpected surroundings.
"The brickmaking warehouse behind the garbage plant?" Sanji blurted out, his eyes widening. "How are we here? We were just in Enies Lobby! How can we come here in instant"
Still reeling from their narrow escape, Luffy, Robin, and the others were piecing together how they had suddenly returned to Water Seven.
The last thing they remembered was Shisui and Itachi ushering them onto the train, urging them to retreat with the arrival of the another Marine Admiral. Though tempted to stay and fight, they knew they couldn't be of any help and then entered the train but the next moment they appeared here.
They was feeling a lot of emotions.
Robin who had been ready to surrender. Yet, to her amazement, Shisui had single-handedly held back Aokiji, then Kitaro fighting both Kizaru and Aokiji, giving her and her friends the opportunity to leave unharmed.
Now, standing back on familiar ground, the Straw Hats felt a sense of safety wash over them. It wasn't an illusion—they had truly returned.
Kitaro stepped forward, glancing at the crew with a hint of reproach. "I told you to leave earlier. Instead, you insisted on staying and making things more complicated."
He shrugged, then continued. "But the mission's done. You're safe here, so do as you wish. As long as you stay on this island, I'll ensure no harm comes to you. Step outside of it, though, and you're on your own."
Luffy and his crew, with a newfound respect and relief, turned to thank Kitaro profusely.
"Thank you! We owe you a lot for saving Robin," Luffy said, voice filled with sincerity.
Kitaro replied, "No need to thank me. It's just my job. If you want to be grateful, thank Mayor Iceburg for arranging this. Now, we need to report back. Take care." With a nod to Shisui and Itachi, Kitaro vanished in a flash.
Robin came to shisui with a grateful look "thank you for saving us"
Shisui had a gentle smile "It's ok, it's my job."
Robin returned to her crew while itachi had a teasing smile "Brother shisui, I don't think anyone will refuse her to join our family. you can go for it."
"You are too young to even think about these thing." After saying this, Shisui left Itachi alone.

Soon, Kitaro arrived at Iceburg's room in the hotel. The headquarters of the Galley-La Company had taken a hit, and Iceburg was currently staying at the same hotel as Kitaro and his team.
"Mr. Kitaro?" Iceburg looked up, visibly shocked to see them back so soon. "Didn't you head to Enies Lobby? How did you return so quickly?"
"Nico Robin and Franky are safe, and we've brought back the Straw Hat Crew unharmed."Kitaro replied
Iceburg's eyebrows shot up. "That quickly?"
Kitaro nodded. "Feel free to verify."
"No need," Iceburg replied, clearly impressed. "I trust you, Mr. Kitaro. Let's discuss the next steps soon, but for now, please take a well-deserved rest."
After Kitaro left Iceburg's room, he was met by a flurry of movement as Boa Hancock appeared, her face alight with relief.
"Kitaro!" she cried, throwing her arms around him.
Hancock clung to him, looking up with a rare, vulnerable expression. "You're back. I was so worried."
Kitaro's stern look softened. "You know what I'm capable of. I told you, no one can stop me if I decide to leave."
"But… I can't help worrying," she said, her voice laced with concern.
Kitaro looked at Hancock and his gaze with filled with love.
Hancock wasn't the idiot when she was near Kitaro instead she found her true self when near him making their relationship perfect.
With a gentle smile, Kitaro pulled her close. "I'll be around for a while now. Let's make the most of it."
Hancock's eyes lit up, and she grinned. "Then you're all mine!" she declared, and he couldn't help but chuckle, her enthusiasm contagious.

Meanwhile, at the World Economy Newspaper headquarters, the sound of a phone ringing shattered the silence in the president's office.
Brrrring! Brrrring!
Morgans, the news-hungry president, snatched the receiver. "What's the scoop?"
"President! Big news! Absolutely huge!" An eager reporter stationed at Enies Lobby spoke hurriedly, his voice barely containing his excitement.
Morgans leaned forward, his eyes glinting. "Out with it! What's this 'big news'?"
"It's… Enies Lobby, sir. It was completely destroyed!"
The words hung in the air, and Morgans' mouth fell open. "What?! Enies Lobby, destroyed? By whom?"
"Uchiha Security Company!"
Morgans' eyes widened in disbelief. "The Uchiha Security Company? I knew they'd make headlines one day, but this…"
The reporter continued, "Only three of them came, but they didn't just defeat the 10,000 guards at Enies Lobby—they also took down every member of CP9."
Morgans felt his excitement grow. "Wait… that's not all, is it?"
The reporter's voice dropped to a whisper. "That's right. Then, a Buster Call was issued. The Marines deployed ten warships and five Vice Admirals. But those ships… every single one fell into Uchiha's hands."
"A failed Buster Call?!" Morgans was nearly shaking with excitement. This was unprecedented.
"But there's more, sir. Admiral Aokiji himself arrived, and he fought against Uchiha Kitaro. Kitaro managed to hold his own."
Morgans' jaw dropped. "You're telling me… the president of a security company fought on par with an Admiral?"
"That's not even the end of it. Kizaru showed up as well!"
"Two Admirals… surely the Uchihas couldn't withstand that."
"That's what everyone thought… but no, the Admirals couldn't catch anyone. In the end, those Uchiha had retreated safely."
Morgans almost dropped the phone. "Unbelievable! Please tell me you have photos?"
"Yes, sir. I risked everything to get them. They're already on their way to you."
Morgans grinned, his mind already racing with headlines. "Fantastic work. This is going to change everything."
As he hung up, Morgans leaned back, practically trembling with excitement. The world was about to learn the name Uchiha. And he knew this story would send shockwaves through every corner of the seas.
