Chapter 133: The Battle for Marshalship!
The white-bearded, weathered old face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.
That kid Ace, he even has such a romantic escapade.
I really underestimated that kid!
This is interesting.
In the plaza of Ryugu Palace, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates celebrated for Chenye in their own unique way.
Chen Ye, all by himself, trampled two sea emperors underfoot.
But they didn't know.
Just as everyone was celebrating wildly, the news that Chen Ye had single-handedly intimidated two of the Four Emperors was sweeping across every corner of the sea at an astonishing speed.
. . . . .
quack--
Countless news birds, carrying satchels, took off from the headquarters of the World Economic News Agency.
They are a black tide, surging towards the whole world.
A bustling city.
A remote, isolated island.
A naval fortress.
A paradise for pirates.
Newspapers fell from the sky.
Countless people looked up and caught the piece of paper from the center of the world.
next second.
The whole world has been put on silent.
On the street, a woman who had just finished shopping stared at the front page of the newspaper, and her basket fell to the ground with a "thud".
Apples rolled all over the ground.
She didn't move, but covered her mouth tightly with her hand, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
In the tavern, a bounty hunter, boasting about his adventures, suddenly stood up.
The wine glass on the table overturned, and rum soaked through the newspaper.
He doesn't care.
He stared intently at the headline, his mouth agape, a "hoarse" sound escaping his throat, as if an invisible hand were gripping his neck.
On a pirate ship, the captain snatched the newspaper.
He saw the contents clearly.
The maniacal laughter on his face froze.
Then it slowly turned into fear.
He trembled as he crumpled the newspaper into a ball, then unfolded it abruptly, then crumpled it again, then unfolded it again.
Finally, he collapsed to the ground.
"It's fake... This must be fake... How could it be..."
The front page of the newspaper featured two photographs.
One of them is an aerial view of Totland, the world's largest city.
The fairytale-like Cake Island has two enormous, indescribably deep pits at its center.
Smooth as a mirror, and bottomless.
The unreal sense of destruction sent chills down the spines of everyone who saw it.
Another photo is even more breathtaking.
Above the giant crater, a young figure floated.
He had his back to the camera, dressed in simple black trousers and a shirt, with lingering golden light spots around him, drifting like rain.
He was just one person.
But his record is even more terrifying than the two devastating craters combined.
Below the photo is a headline that is equally shocking.
An era has ended! Time-Space King Chen Ye single-handedly defeats the Twin Emperors Alliance!
A single line of text.
The Four Emperors.
An emperor who reigned over the sea for decades.
Kaido, the strongest creature on land, sea, and air.
Charlotte Linlin, a born destroyer.
When they join forces, they are a force that even world governments would tremble with.
Now, the newspapers declare it with an unquestionable tone.
They lost.
Defeated by one person.
silence.
Silence as death.
then.
It was a global uproar, a tsunami-like uproar.
. . .
Naval Headquarters, Marineford.
The air in the marshal's office was so oppressive it felt like you could wring water out of it.
"puff!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku the Buddha spat out a mouthful of senbei crumbs, scattering them all over the huge strategic nautical chart.
His usually dignified face was now twisted in a comical way.
His glasses were askew, and his goatee was covered in food scraps.
He was completely shocked.
But it didn't last long, and after the initial shock, things calmed down.
It's as if the outcome was already known during the Warring States period!
What a terrifying guy! Even Kaido and Charlotte Linlin couldn't handle him?
Who in this world can deal with that guy?!
Chen Ye's strength!
This goes beyond the usual understanding of strength during the Warring States period.
This is not human.
Unlike his outburst, the man on the sofa remained quiet.
Marine hero, Monkey D. Garp.
He didn't eat the rice crackers, nor did he laugh.
He didn't say a word from the moment he received the newspaper.
Those eyes, which were always so cynical, were now unfathomable.
Shock, solemnity, and a hint of bewilderment he himself was unaware of swirled in his eyes.
He looked at Chen Ye's back in the newspaper.
This era...
It's really out of control.
. . . . .
The Holy Land, Mary Geoise.
Pangu City, a place of power struggles.
The atmosphere here is a hundred times more somber than in Marineford; the air feels like lead.
The five highest-ranking officials of the world government, the Five Elders, sat in silence.
On the table between them, there was also a newspaper.
"You bastard!!!"
"Kaido and Linlin, those two useless trash! Even working together, they were beaten like this! Truly useless!"
"The problem isn't how useless they are, it's that brat named Chen Ye... his growth rate is completely beyond our control!"
"During the Marineford War, even with Nika and me working together, we couldn't stop him. Now, I have a feeling we don't even need Nika; we couldn't stop that kid on his own."
There was a hint of coldness in the voice of the five blond elders.
"If we let him grow up like this, the threat he poses will be immeasurable!"
The Five Elders, who had been silent all along and had map-like scars on their foreheads, slowly spoke, their voices hoarse and cold.
"This person... is getting more and more terrifying!"
His gaze swept over the other four, his cloudy eyes flashing with undisguised murderous intent.
"We can't wait any longer! We must eliminate him before he completely shakes the foundations of this world!"
"But how can we erase it?"
Even the five of us plus Steel Bone Sky couldn't stop him!
The room fell silent again.
long time.
A resolute glint flashed in Venus's eyes.
"Once that person awakens, report this matter to him! Then, launch a complete siege and annihilation operation against this person!"
He paused, then spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Just like back then... when we dealt with Rocks!"
"Lox".
Hearing this name
The other four members of the Five Elders simultaneously displayed fear and ruthlessness.
Those are them, the names that the entire world government least wants to mention.
. . .
Somewhere, at the headquarters of the revolutionary army.
The wind howled.
Monkey D. Dragon stood on the edge of the cliff, his trench coat fluttering in the wind.
His face showed shock, but even more so, unprecedented solemnity, and a... barely perceptible smile.
. . .
In the plaza of the Dragon Palace, the festivities were drawing to a close.
Marco, holding a piece of intelligence, strode over to Chenye and Whitebeard.
His expression was serious.
"Chen Ye, Dad."
He lowered his voice.
"There's been a big commotion on the navy's side."
"Oh?"
Chen Ye raised an eyebrow.
The world's upheaval will always have a chain reaction.
Marco said in a deep voice, "After we rescued Ace, Fleet Admiral Sengoku announced his resignation to take responsibility."
He then recommended Aokiji Kuzan to the World Government as the next admiral, but the World Government strongly recommended Akainu Sakazuki!
"A huge division arose within the navy over the position of marshal."
What's strange is that Aokiji Kuzan has always been the type of person in the Navy who has no desire for status, but this time he is not giving up an inch on the position of Fleet Admiral!
Therefore, in order to vie for the position of the next Fleet Admiral, Akainu Sakazuki and Aokiji Kuzan agreed to a life-or-death duel in seven days at Punk Hazard in the New World!
The winner will become the new Admiral of the Navy!
This news caused the white-bearded man, who was drinking heartily next to him, to pause for a moment.
The power struggle within the navy was conducted in this very way.
Upon hearing this news, Chen Ye showed an expression of interest.
Akainu... Aokiji... Punk Hazard...
A spectacular show you can't miss.
He turned his head, looked at the white-bearded man beside him, and said with a playful smile:
"Dad, we're just killing time anyway, how about we... go see a good show?"
"Um?"
The white-bearded man looked at him.
Chen Ye's smile became even more playful. He lowered his voice, a sly glint in his eyes.
He added slowly.
"By the way... I should also finish up the remaining resolution I'm missing!"
