The next day,

"Wahhhhhhh!" Kaido of the Beast Pirates was drunk, and the said drunk was crying. "Jack! Ugh Jack! How come you got beaten!" He wailed, his teardrops drenching the ground below.

In front of him, were his three All-Stars and the remaining members of the Tobiroppo. All of them had serious expressions on their face, and all of them were pissed.

But that wasn't all, they were on an elevated platform, a few floors high. A bit further almost all of the members of the Beast Pirates had gathered. The army of Beast pirates looked at their leader with fear and anticipation.

"Wahhhhh! Jack!" Kaido cried, taking a swig from his jug of ale, "I thought you were strong! And yet, you were beaten by some kids in the first half of the Grand Line?! Poor Jack! But it's your own fault for being so weak! Wahhhh!"

The others didn't say anything as Kaido drank his booze, they just watched, but suddenly Kaido's eyes turned sharp. And he started to laugh.

"Worororororo! The Marines have Jack right?" Kaido asked to particularly no one, as a grin spread on his face. "Then we will declare a war against them! Worororo!"

"It seems that's what the Marines want." King, for the first time, spoke. The large man with flames on his back looked at the newspaper one last time, before it burned into ash.

"Let them set the date! We will come there on their own terms and destroy them!" Kaido said, holding his spiked metal club in the air.

Loud cheers came from almost all of the members of the beast pirate.

"Worororo! We're going to take all of those pampered noble-born rulers and drag them off their ivory thrones down to the battlefield with us!" Kaido said, with a massive smile on his face. His body shaking with excitement, there was no more boredom for him. "That's what I call equality and freedom! A world where war decides a man's true worth!"

The Beast Pirates roared again with cheers. There was a war brewing on the horizon. Things would get complicated from now on. But the bloodthirsty pirates there were thrilled with the prospect for battle.

While this was happening, no one noticed King moving away from his spot. On his hand was a transponder snail. If there was a war, he needed to prepare.

A few moments later, Queen also excused himself going towards his lab. He had things to prepare as well.

.

Donquixote Doflamingo looked serious as he read the newspaper. He had a frown on his face before he ripped the newspaper with his strings. This was bad.

Even before the newspaper was released, he knew what had happened. Vergo had called in the night before telling about what happened at the G-3 base. And about Jack getting captured.

He thought that the newspaper would keep this stuff under wraps. But it seemed the Marines had gotten bolder.

A part of the ripped-off newspaper layed on the floor. And it had a few lines.

[Jack the Drought, one of the Commanders of the Beast Pirates, got captured by the Marines. Vice Admiral Sinbad and 'Fallen Hero' Luffy temporarily allied themselves to save the people of Nanimonai Island (G3 base).

It then showed the picture of Luffy and Sinbad standing side by side, all bloodied against Jack.]

"It seems there's a war brewing," Doflamingo said, looking up. Before a smile dawned his face. "Fufufufu! Now which side to choose!"

.

"Gurarararara….. Ace's brother did something amazing again. Gurarararara…" Said a very large pirate taking a swig from his jug, before running his hand over his white beard.

By his side a certain pineapple head grinned, "That he did, yoi! He said, "He's certainly the grandkid of Garp."

"Gurararara!"

.

A certain red-haired pirate smiled upon seeing the news. "Bring in the booze! This calls for a party!"

"Yeah!"

"For Luffy!"

"For Usopp!"

"Let's party!"

.

"Mamma Mamma! The sea is about to get wild!" The only female Yonko said, "Prepare my children, we will grab the world when we get the chance! Ma ma ma ma ma ma!"

.

"Zehahahaha… the world will burn. And a new age will rise, the old will fall, and the young will ascend. And I will be at the top!"

.

Around the world, similar reactions were happening. The newspaper revealed two important things. Firstly it solidified Luffy's position as being a hero and secondly, it showed that marines weren't afraid of any Yonko.

The newspaper was an unofficial declaration of war. The people were excited, some were wary, and others were scared. But everyone had hope.

Hope for a better future. 'Straw Hat' Luffy and Vice Admiral Sinbad had gotten much fame in the short news. And people were already looking up to them as heroes.

The newspaper also revealed key players and what they did. Of course, it went into detail on how the Marines beat the Beast Pirates.

But people were more interested in other things. Amongst them, there were pictures of Pirate Hunter Zoro and Black Leg Sanji beating down a former Supernova. Hatchan of the sea cutting down the Caribou Pirates. Other members of the Straw Hats helping the civilians and helping them get to safety.

There was even a picture of Gin and Kuina helping people in the first evacuation ship. In the picture, if one looked closely, they would also see a mink and the body of a snake.

But among them, two of the Straw Hat pirates had gained quite the fame. A certain pink-haired pirate, along with a long-nosed sniper.

'Hero of the Navy Port,' Coby. There was a picture of him helping the people, in the background a certain female marine was also shown cooperating.

'The Gunner,' Usopp. There were two pictures of him, one where he took out a group of pirates with his dual revolvers. Another one is where he is helping the civilians and carrying them out of the rubble.

The Straw Hats Pirates might have not gotten a new bounty. But their fame spread across the sea. And everyone was looking forward to them for what they might do in the future.
