76 [76] Shocking The World [1]
[2100 Words]
------------------------------------------
"Tsuru-san!"
Hina shouted when she saw Tsuru standing with Gion and the rest of the Marines, but her hands were still bound so she didn't move from her place.
Several minutes ago, Mekita entered with some guards and escorted them out of the prison along with her subordinates and the Fire Fist Ace, in addition to Crocodile who was still unconscious.
In fact, Hina was puzzled by Crocodile not waking up since he fainted after his clash against Ren, but she soon stopped trying to figure out the reason; she was in a bad situation herself.
"Hina, are you okay?" Tsuru looked at the girl and sighed in relief when she saw she wasn't harmed, then glanced at Tashigi and the other Marines and sighed in relief when she confirmed they weren't seriously injured.
"Fire Fist Ace," she finally looked at the young man with black hair; she was shocked by his current state, a tired body and a severed hand, he must have been treated badly during his imprisonment.
Ace glanced at the Marines who were staring at him, seemingly guessing why Ren had taken him out of his cell; he hadn't even had the chance to bid farewell to Luffy as he was still asleep, no matter how hard he tried to wake him up, thinking about it, Ace sank into despair once again.
Then Tsuru looked at Crocodile, being carried by two guards, unconscious and covered in dirt and dried blood on his clothes, with one of his hands seemingly cut off.
'Does the Black Death have a strange hobby of cutting off his enemies' hands?' Gion thought inwardly as she looked at the scene.
"Where's the money?"
Ren's voice came, catching everyone's attention in the room, then he continued, "I've completed my side of the deal, the Marines and Fire Fist Ace along with the former Warlord, I believe I should get my money now."
"Yes, we've brought it already," Tsuru said, then gestured to one of the female soldiers, who calmly placed four large bags filled with money in front of Ren and stepped back.
Ren looked at Nami, then without speaking, she nodded and opened the bags, counting the money quickly and not forgetting any notes.
"There are 500 million đ here, Captain," she confirmed, then Ren nodded and said, "And now one thing remains, I want to announce the name of my pirate crew!"
.
[The Next Day]
The Grand Line was unusually turbulent, on every island, in every village and kingdom, people were discussing the latest developments in this world.
When the newspaper fell, which everyone thought was a boring newspaper like any other day, they quickly realized how wrong they were when they read the headline!
The headline was long but extremely shocking:
[The Sin Pirates led by the Black Death Ren defeat Warlord Crocodile and Fire Fist Ace!"
{The New Warlord! Captain of the Sin Pirates! The Black Death Ren!"
"!!!!"
"Did I read this correctly? Was Fire Fist Ace captured? Even Warlord Crocodile?"
"They've announced themselves as the Sin Pirates!"
"The Black Death defeated Warlord Crocodile and took his place! He also managed to capture Fire Fist Ace on the same day and handed him over to the Marines! Very powerful!"
A group of pirates in a bar on an unknown island in the Grand Line were discussing the news.
They were shocked by such news and the major events that occurred on the same day, no one expected a rookie pirate crew to achieve such feats!
"The Black Death has the courage and strength to capture Fire Fist Ace, the commander of the 2nd division of the Whitebeard pirates!"
"What do you expect Whitebeard's reaction to be? The Marines took Fire Fist after all!"
"I don't know why but I feel like there's going to be a fierce war in the future! And all because of one man, the Black Death!"
No one dared to treat Ren and the Sin Pirates as rookies anymore; Ren's accomplishments were certainly something a rookie couldn't achieve, especially capturing the Fire Fist known for his strength.
.
The news didn't stop spreading and reached the farthest islands and kingdoms, spreading fear among people because of the emergence of another powerful pirate crew! Many people awaited Whitebeard's reaction to the big news!
"This is unbelievable!"
"Ace couldn't be captured!"
"But the picture shows him kneeling here... and even his hand-"
"Shut up!"
In a bar, a plump woman cried while holding the newspaper, the newspaper showing a picture of Ace after he was defeated by Ren, showing his cutted hand.
"Ace..."
Makino wasn't in the mood to work so she closed the bar and discussed the shocking news about Ace with the mountain bandits.
And after Reading the News, She found herself crying...
.
The Calm Belts in the Grand Line spread over a very large distance, contrary to what appears on the maps.
Only a selected few dared to sail in such dangerous belts, where there are no winds to push ships towards their destination, while ferocious sea kings lurk beneath the sea, ready to pounce on their prey.
And in one place in a specific Calm Belt, a misty outline of a medium-sized island could be seen.
This island wasn't deserted, but the strange thing was that all its inhabitants were women.
The most magnificent building on this island was a luxurious and massive palace, designed to give a sense of sanctity and grandeur to the place.
And inside this palace, there was an old woman holding the newspaper and reading the news anxiously.
"The Sin Pirates...The Black Death, this boy has caused great chaos!" The old woman sighed as she read the details of the incident.
"So he replaced Fire Fist and Crocodile to win the position of Warlord? Was it worth angering Whitebeard..."
"Anyway, I have to inform that brat Hancock about this. Why doesn't She care about reading newspapers?!"
The old woman sighed and disappeared into the palace.
.
Birds flew and newspapers fell from the sky onto people in various islands of the Grand Line and the New World, everyone who opened the newspaper and read the news couldn't help but be shocked.
Some rejoiced, while others laughed at the misfortune of the Whitebeard Pirates, but they all wondered about this mysterious pirate who quickly established his position...
The captain of the Sin Pirates, the Black Death!
"Mom, what are you reading?"
Asked a child in a childish voice, looking at the newspaper in his mother's hand with curiosity.
"They are pirates, my son. There's a new evil pirate out there."
The mother said in a gentle voice with a worried look.
"Really? Will they come for us?" The child seemed afraid and hugged his mother.
The woman smiled to reassure her son and said, "Don't worry, my son, we have the Marines who will defend us. Remember what Marine hero Garp-san says in his biography?"
"Justice will always prevail!"
The child answered softly with bright eyes full of hope.
"Good job, my son~," the woman ruffled her son's head and laughed.
Many such conversations could be seen among the ordinary people, discussing pirates and the repercussions of what happened, but they could do nothing but pin their hopes on the Marines.
.
The New World.
A large pirate ship sailed in the calm sea, the atmosphere on the ship was refreshing and cheerful, some danced and others sang, and there were even those who drank sake without any caution.
Because no one would dare to attack them anyway!
Why? Because they were the Whitebeard Pirates!
In the middle of the ship, there was a giant chair, not empty but occupied by a giant man.
He was an abnormally large man, standing at a height of 666 cm, well-proportioned. He had a long face, wrinkled due to aging with many wrinkles. Around his eyes, and many scars extended along his chest, and he was very muscular, like all his men, he had a Jolly Roger tattoo on his back. In the manga, his eyes are brown.
He wore a black bandana around his head and adorned with the white captain's coat that hung loosely from his broad shoulders and carried his own Jolly Roger emblem.
He was shirtless, wearing loose pants tucked into his large black boots, and a dark pirate scarf around his waist. He used oxygen and was connected to many medical sensors, due to health issues related to his age.
"Gurararararara, Marco, any news about Ace?"
"Not yet, Oyaji..." Marco, the man, answered with a slightly sad tone.
He had tried to contact Ace in the past few days but received no response; he would have been relieved if he had Ace's Viver card with him, but Ace took it with him!
"Sigh... that stubborn kid."
Whitebeard sighed as he stared at the sky, a bad feeling starting to grip him.
'I'm starting to regret letting Ace go...' Marco thought as he saw Oyaji's state, even he was worried about Ace and couldn't shake off this bad feeling in his heart.
Suddenly.
*Pant...Pant...*
"Haaaaah...hoooff..."
"Disaster!"
The celebrations and songs stopped when the pirates saw that one of the brothers was running and panting frantically, holding a newspaper in his hand.
"What's happening? Why are you in such a hurry?" Marco went towards him and looked at the pirate, before he could say anything, Marco grabbed the newspaper and opened it.
"!!!"
His eyes widened suddenly, everyone could see his strange reaction, the feeling of dread increased in Whitebeard's heart...
"What's wrong, Marco?"
Whitebeard's voice came, carrying a touch of doubt and slight hope, hoping there was no news related to his son in the newspaper.
"It's Ace...he fought with that famous pirate recently...the Black Death...and he was handed over to the Marines!"
Marco said in an angry and sorrowful voice, the reactions were a mix of shock, dread, and sorrow, and before anyone could react to the news, Whitebeard rose from his seat.
Medical sensors disconnected from his body, but Whitebeard didn't care, his face darkened indicating his anger.
"!!!"
The clear sky began to change, clouds covered the sky, and thunder began to form.
*Rumble!!!*
*Crackle!!!*
*Crack!!!*
*Crack!!!*
Whitebeard swung his huge hand, and a strange scene occurred as the air began to fracture, a tremor spread across the sea, the sound of thunder and the noise of the water being shaken spread all over the sea.
The King of the Seas was enraged!
Whitebeard's crew was completely terrified of the terrifying rage of Whitebeard; they could only cower as they watched their father's outburst.
"That Brat! He dared to touch my son! It seems that the new generation has begun to forget my name?!!"
*Boom!!*
*Crackle!!!*
*Crack!!!*
The air cracked again as Whitebeard created several more earthquakes with the help of his Devil Fruit.
A massive tsunami formed, threatening to engulf Moby Dick, but Whitebeard quickly shattered those giant waves into insignificant pieces of water!
"Oyaji! Please calm down! Your health is deteriorating--"
Marco tried to calm his father, he had never seen Oyaji so angry before, perhaps seeing Ace cut off and showing expressions of pain triggered his emotions...
*Rumble!!!*
"I'll go to Marineford!! It's better for my son to be safe...or I'll sink that place!!"
*Crackle!!!*
*Crackle!!!*
With Whitebeard's statement, lightning struck the sky above Moby Dick as a sign of the strongest man in the world's anger, the Sea King was furious, and he would ensure to use his aging body to exact revenge on the bastard who harmed his son!
.
In the New World again, and in a secluded state from this world.
Onigashima.
A giant figure could be seen sitting on a massive chair while drinking sake from a giant jug.
He held the small newspaper in his hand and looked at the news about Ace and Ren's battle.
"A pirate appeared out of nowhere and defeated that brat who sneaked into Onigashima that day, Roar!!!"
"A Warlord? Is that why that brat was handed over to the Marines?"
"Wororororororo!!!"
"Have the Fucking Marines gone mad?! Worororo!! Interesting!"
"Men! Prepare for war!"
"Wororororororo!!!"
Kaido's booming and raucous voice resounded throughout Onigashima, sending shivers down the spines of the pirates.
