Chapter 869 Big News That Shocked the World
Time passed with the crackling sound of rain. In the blink of an eye, the seven-day rainstorm ended, the sky cleared up after the rain, and the sun returned to the sky above Alabasta.
At this time, Kira had already left Alabasta with everyone and set out for Sky Island.
The purpose of this trip is to collect all the gold on the Sky Island.
Next they were going to space, and the wizards who had no knowledge of navigation technology would definitely not choose to use the Baroque Works' sailboat . So Kira took advantage of the time in Albana to transform the Hope, turning it into a huge mobile fortress that could accommodate everyone.
Originally, Kira planned to split into two teams, but was unanimously rejected by everyone.
"I say, is it really okay for you to go along too? It's 10,000 meters up there, the air is very thin!"
Kira pointed at Levi who was sitting opposite him, looked at Gajeel and said, "What Levi needs most right now should be to find a place to recuperate, right?"
Leibi smiled shyly, "It's okay, isn't Wendy here? Besides, I think it will be safer to be with everyone! You can't just leave me in a place like Alabasta, right?"
“That makes sense…”
Under Levi's strong request, Kira had no choice but to agree to take everyone along. Fortunately, the modified Hope had a larger capacity and more rooms, and in order to make it easier to care for them, Kira also changed the original two-person bedroom into a four-person bedroom, so even if the total number of people now reached twenty, it would be more than enough.
Soon, Kira followed the recording pointer he bought from Alabasta and led everyone to Gaya Island.
Returning from the yellow-sand Alabasta to the Grand Line where the sea and sky meet, the wizards felt extremely relaxed physically and mentally, as if they had received some kind of sacred baptism.
The magnificent sea, the sunny sky, the salty and humid sea breeze, and the irritable fish and birds make the leisurely sea voyage more interesting.
Suddenly, a news bird flew over the sea.
The Newsbird is the most powerful messenger in the Grand Line and even in the four seas. Its main duty every day is to deliver letters. Except for the doldrums, they can be seen basically everywhere.
There are many news agencies in the entire ocean, but Kira only knows one, the World Economic News Agency. Its president is Morgans, the user of the Albatross form of the Bird-Bird Fruit, one of the emperors of the underworld. He appeared as Charlotte Linlin's guest in the Bankoku arc. Basically all the newspapers mentioned in the plot of "One Piece" are also published by this company.
The newsbird of each newspaper is dressed differently. The bird has pure white feathers, a hat that looks like an officer's hat, and a backpack hanging around its neck. The backpack contains the hats it is going to sell today and the money it receives from selling newspapers.
"Hello, give me a newspaper!" Kira waved to the news bird from a distance, called it over, and took out 50 Baileys and threw them into the 'coin slot' of the package.
There was a very human look in the eyes of this news bird. Its eyes flashed wildly, and its long neck looked left and right, looking at the Hope curiously, as if it was surprised by Kira's iron box that could fly in the sky.
However, when it saw Kira was about to throw down Bailey and take a newspaper, it suddenly made a move, flapped its right wing and slapped Kira's hand, and at the same time took out a wooden sign from its backpack, on which were written a few big words: Today's newspaper price has increased! 1,000 Baileys per copy!
"Hiss... the price actually doubled so much?!"
Kira gasped, 1,000 Baileys, how many Choppers can that buy?!
"Hey! What's going on?! Isn't a newspaper usually only 50 Baileys, or at most 100 Baileys? Why is it so expensive today?!"
However, the news bird would not answer Kira's words. It just gave Kira a look that said, "It's up to you to buy it or not. Today's news is extremely explosive. If you don't read it, it's your loss! !"
"You deserve a beating, don't you?!" Kira clenched his fists and prepared to hit the bird, but the news bird showed no fear and even whistled mockingly.
"So cool??"
Kira was stunned. "Could it be that today's news is really explosive? What could it be? ...Oh, I know! It must be that my movements in Alabasta these days have been recorded! So it seems that my plan has achieved the first step, congratulations!"
Thinking of this, Kira felt relieved and immediately retracted his fist in joy, but still warned: "If I find that it is not worth the price, I will not buy your newspapers in the future!!"
After a short while, the money and goods were settled.
Kira threw 1,000 Baileys directly in with one hand, and at the same time took the latest newspaper handed to him by the other party and began to read it with great interest.
However, as Kira turned his eyes to the newspaper and took a look at the news headlines published on it, the smiling face that lasted less than three seconds suddenly froze, because only a small section less than one-tenth of the page mentioned himself, and the headlines like "The Rain God Comes to Alabasta" were not even bolded or enlarged.
The big news that caused the price of this issue to double and took up almost the entire newspaper was...
"The Four Emperors have fallen?! 'Big Mom' Charlotte Linlin was defeated!!!"
《A woman with both beauty and strength, Irene Belserion!!!》
《Resurrection from the dead?? An incredible person reappears in the world!!》
《The arrival of a new era?! Someone who calls himself a wizard!!》
《……》
“What?!?”
The moment Kira saw these titles, his pupils shrank, his heart was shaken, and when he read on, he blurted out "what the hell".
"What's wrong, Kira?"
Everyone noticed Kira's movement and rushed over. They saw him with his head almost completely buried in the newspaper in his hand, shouting "Awesome", "Oh my God", and "What the hell" continuously.
After an unknown amount of time, Kira threw the newspaper to the ground and said angrily, "Damn it! I was a step too slow! I stole all the limelight!!"
The wizards looked at each other and blinked in confusion, not knowing what had happened. Finally, Habbit stepped forward, picked up the newspaper, and brought it back to show everyone.
The newspaper was slowly spread out on the ground. The first thing everyone saw was not the big, bold, and shocking words, but a photo that was captured somehow.
The location in the picture is a town that has been destroyed beyond recognition and is almost in ruins;
The protagonist of the picture is a woman with a face that is both cool and charming, and a body that is sexy to the extreme. She has long crimson hair, wears a black sexy magic robe, and holds an exquisite deer antler magic wand. She combines the graceful and noble temperament of a queen with shockingly powerful strength.
The magicians recognized her identity at a glance, and their eyes lit up immediately: "Is it Irene-san?! She's in the newspaper??!"
Opposite Irene was also a woman. She was about 880cm tall, with long pink curly hair, thick lipstick and light purple eyeshadow, a pirate hat on her head, and a loose pink dress. She was fat and bloated, with excess fat all over her body, a hideous face, and eyes full of astonishment and disbelief.
The wizards didn't know this person, but through the description in the newspaper, they soon found out her identity - one of the overlords of the New World, 'Big Mom' Charlotte Linlin! !
"Irene defeated the 'Four Emperors'?"
"Come to think of it, when they were communicating some time ago, she did say that she was in the New World, and that she was in Big Mom's territory... But how did they start fighting?"
There was more than one picture in the newspaper. In addition to Irene and the aunt, there were other people from both sides.
On Erin's side, everyone recognized the Moon Dragon Selene, Neinhart of the Twelve Shields, Brandish, and Demaria. Surprisingly, the three Mira siblings were also with them;
On Big Mom's side were her children, led by the 'Four Dessert Generals' who were famous in the New World. In addition, there were the eldest son 'Minister of Candy' Charlotte Perospero, the third son 'Minister of Beans' Charlotte Daifuku, the fourth son 'Minister of Baking' Charlotte Owen, and a dozen famous pirates. However, at the moment these people were not in good condition. They were all injured or lying on the ground. Basically, they were in a state of 'group annihilation'.
The most important thing is that the ones who wiped out Big Mom and her group were a group of people who were enough to shake the entire ocean, shock the world government, and make everyone who saw the news suspect that there was something wrong with their eyes. They were a group of pirates who were well-known to everyone decades ago, but have long been dead now. Not to mention the legendary pirates like Captain John, the key lies in the other two people -
Rox D. Gibeck!!!
as well as……
'One Piece' Gol D. Roger!!!
