Chapter 45: Tremors on the Sea
World Economic News Agency, news king Morgans is sitting in his office.
"Shocking! The Seven Warlords of the Sea intended to seize the country, but were defeated by a newcomer!"
"Boss, do you think this is okay?"
Editor-in-chief Lawrence held a piece of manuscript paper and asked Morgans:
"Okay, write it like this!"
"Print 1000 million copies of this newspaper. No, print 1 million copies!"
"Once it's printed, get it out there!"
Morgause, in bird-man form, smacked his beak and decided to maximize the printing volume.
It was such a sensation that the Seven Warlords of the Sea were trying to seize power in a country.
However, what is even more bizarre and explosive is that the Seven Warlords of the Sea were actually defeated by a newcomer!
Morgans hasn't seen such explosive news for many years. This time it will definitely shock the whole world.
"1 million newspapers, I think we can sell them all."
Morgans could already imagine the newspapers selling out and he would make a fortune again.
"Yes, Boss!"
Editor-in-chief Lawrence responded happily and then left the office.
Ignoring Lawrence who had left, Morgans began to think about the protagonist of this incident.
"The name Luo Wen really looks familiar?"
Morganus stroked his chin and remembered.
Half a month ago, he published the news that Lowen chopped off the main ship of the Click Pirates with one sword, and it was a hot seller in the East China Sea.
He thought Luo Wen was an important figure at the time, but he ignored him because he was in the East China Sea.
Unexpectedly, half a month later, Lowen made big news.
"If I had known earlier, I would have kept an eye on him and gotten first-hand intelligence."
Morganus flapped his wings and said regretfully.
In this incident, he was a beat slow and missed the most exciting scene, which made the news less interesting.
The newspaper would have been more exciting if it had the footage of Crocodile being defeated by Lowen.
"It seems that I have to keep an eye on this rising star and not miss any news about him again."
As Morgans spoke, he marked Lowen's name in red.
Lowen is powerful and a bounty hunter, so he is bound to stir up waves in this ocean.
Just keep an eye on Lowen’s actions.
His newspaper will probably never lack breaking news in the future.
On that day, countless news birds flew out from the World Economic News headquarters and flew to all parts of the world with newspapers.
……
In the first half of the Grand Line, countless pirates looked at the newspapers in their hands and fell into deep thought.
"A newcomer who just entered the Grand Line can defeat Crocodile?"
The young pirate exclaimed loudly, unable to accept the news.
He is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a terrifying and powerful being who overpowers countless pirates. He possesses the strength and status that countless pirates dream of.
Now they have been defeated by an unknown person, which has shattered the dreams of countless pirates. They are no longer as afraid of the Seven Warlords of the Sea as before.
"Could it be that Crocodile is just a name with no real strength?"
The young pirate had never seen Crocodile's strength, so he could only guess.
Perhaps Crocodile is the weakest among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, even his left hand is crippled.
"If Crocodile is just a show-off, then Lowen, who defeated him, should be just like him."
The young pirate muttered to himself, ambition gradually burning in his eyes.
If he could defeat Lowen, would he be able to become famous across the sea and become a big figure like the Seven Warlords of the Sea?
He had to consider whether this was his only chance in this life.
Damn it, do it!
The young pirate made up his mind not to miss this opportunity. He wanted to make a name for himself.
Countless old pirates sneered secretly, ready to laugh at the young pirates' joke.
"Crocodile is not a pushover."
"Loven, who can defeat Crocodile, is definitely a superhuman strong man!"
The old pirates thought of Crocodile's past achievements and awe appeared in their eyes.
He is especially wary of Lowen, a bounty hunter who defeated Crocodile as soon as he debuted.
They have realized that another big man in this ocean is declaring his power, and all challengers will be his stepping stones.
The old pirate looked at the young pirates who were ready to make a move and silently gloated over their misfortune.
As for reminders, that is impossible.
The hardships they endured in the past cannot be avoided by young people.
Let these ignorant young people experience the cruelty of the sea!
In this way, many young pirates, with great ambitions, set out to challenge Lowen.
……
The Grand Line, on an unnamed island.
The Red Hair Pirates and Hawkeye Mihawk sat together, drinking heavily.
Red-haired Shanks was holding a newspaper and reading it seriously.
"Mihawk, a new star has risen in the ocean."
Shanks sighed as he looked at the news in the newspaper.
He defeated Crocodile just after entering the Grand Line. He really showed his potential!
"Perhaps you will be interested in him."
Shanks looked at the giant sword that Lowen was carrying and said to Mihawk
"Oh, is it so?"
Mihawk took the newspaper and glanced at it casually.
What new people can emerge from the sea?
At present, there are only two people who can catch his eye, one is Lowen, who is a swordsman, and the other is Zoro, who has a strong will.
But they had just set out to sea and were still too weak.
It wasn't until he saw Lowen's portrait in the newspaper that Mihawk became serious.
"Can you already deal with Crocodile? You're growing really fast!"
Mihawk looked at the portrait of Lowen and narrowed his eyes.
Now Luo Wen’s strength really aroused his interest.
"Why, have you seen him?"
The red-haired man's face was full of curiosity, as he hadn't seen Mihawk's serious expression in a long time.
"I have seen it before. Half a month ago, I saw the remaining aura under the sword in the East China Sea. It was at the level of a swordsman."
"Since he can defeat Crocodile, he is indeed qualified to fight me."
Mihawk said seriously, stroking the black knife.
The appearance of Luo Wen has already aroused his fighting spirit. He is indeed a rare opponent.
Suddenly, Mihawk looked at Shanks and smiled.
"While this Lowen was destroying the Crick Pirates, the Straw Hat Luffy you were paying attention to was washing dishes!"
“Perhaps, Luo Wen is the protagonist of this era?”
Mihawk said provocatively.
Red Hair bet his left arm on the East China Sea, believing that Luffy is the protagonist of the era.
He, Mihawk, can also take a gamble, and Lowen is the protagonist of the era.
"Hahahaha, let's wait and see!"
Shanks laughed heartily, seemingly not caring about his friend's sarcasm.
But he also began to have doubts in his heart.
Luffy has been out to sea for so long, why is there no news at all?
This Luo Wen suddenly appeared and was unstoppable. He really had the spirit of a protagonist of the times.
Could it be that this is not the era of great pirates that belongs to them, but the era of bounty hunters that belongs to Lowen? !
