#274 - Chapter 274 The Greedy Albatross
While Jin was enjoying his sweet time on the nameless island, the sea remained turbulent.
The movements of various pirate crews caused tremors throughout the sea.
The Big Mom Pirates, Wang Zhi Pirates, Beast Pirates, and other pirate crews, large and small, all began to move.
The events on Sabaody Archipelago were like a bombshell, shattering the peace of the sea.
The result of the battle was shocking—none of the pirates involved survived.
By the time the news spread, it had been several days since the incident, and the pirates received the news through newspapers, which undoubtedly infuriated them.
In Totto Land, Big Mom angrily waved the newspaper in her hand, her rage burning fiercely on her majestic face.
Her crew members dared not approach, only watching their captain vent her anger from afar.
"These damn bastards, they didn't even leave a single survivor!"
She roared, her voice like thunder, shaking the entire Cake Island.
At the same time, on a small island near Cake Island, Kaido of the Beast Pirates was also enraged by the news.
He stood on his towering throne, the wine jar in his hand smashing to the ground.
"To find out about the Sabaody Archipelago incident from a newspaper!"
His eyes flashed fiercely, as if he were about to destroy the world in the next moment.
His subordinates trembled, not daring to step forward.
Wang Zhi of the Wang Zhi Pirates sat on the deck, holding a newspaper in his hand, his face full of sternness.
His subordinates stood aside, discussing in low voices.
"I was wondering why no news was coming back from Sabaody Archipelago, this incident is quite a surprise!"
Wang Zhi's cold voice silenced everyone, his eyes sharp as knives, clearly pondering a plan.
The battle on Sabaody Archipelago was like a heavy punch to these pirate crews, hitting them hard in the face.
Not only was the outcome of the battle tragic, but the delayed information made them feel extremely insulted.
They, who usually relied on intelligence networks to control the situation, were now mocked by a small newspaper.
The pirates began to take action, ships setting sail with a clear goal—to investigate the truth and find the mastermind behind the incident.
The situation at sea suddenly became tense, with every pirate crew preparing for a future war.
The turbulent sea seemed to foreshadow the coming storm, and everyone was waiting for the next upheaval.
Meanwhile, the Sabaody Archipelago incident, coupled with the Buster Call of Ohara, became a hot topic in various taverns, its popularity enduring.
In a bustling tavern on Sabaody Archipelago, dim lights and mixed sounds filled the space.
The tavern was filled with all kinds of pirates, adventurers, and information brokers.
The tavern owner wiped the glasses in his hand, listening to the customers' clamor, a faint smile on his face.
"Have you heard? The battle on Sabaody Archipelago was simply a massacre!"
A scruffy pirate said loudly, the glass in his hand shining in the light.
His voice instantly attracted the attention of those around him, and everyone stopped what they were doing and listened intently.
"Who doesn't know? I heard not a single survivor was left!"
Another pirate interjected, his eyes flashing with a mixture of excitement and fear.
He slapped the table, making a bang.
"And the Buster Call of Ohara, the entire island was razed to the ground, it's terrifying!"
An information broker nearby heard this, leaned over, and said in a low voice:
"Could there be a conspiracy behind these two incidents? Why did such big things suddenly break out at the same time?"
People nodded, and the atmosphere in the tavern became increasingly tense.
Some began to discuss in low voices, speculating about the truth and impact behind the events.
The entire tavern seemed to be shrouded in an invisible force, and everyone's heart was filled with unease and suspicion.
In a corner, a young adventurer clenched the glass in his hand, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.
"These major events couldn't have happened without warning, why are we finding out so late?"
His voice was low, but it aroused everyone's curiosity, this was too strange.
The old sailor next to him sighed and said slowly:
"The world has changed, even old guys like us can't see through it, I just hope we don't get caught up in this storm."
The door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and a gust of cold wind mixed with the smell of the sea blew in.
Everyone's eyes instantly turned to the door, and a person wearing a worn cloak walked in, carrying the fatigue of the journey.
He took off the hood of his cloak, revealing a stern face.
"You're all talking about Sabaody Archipelago and Ohara, right?"
He walked to the bar and said lightly.
The tavern was silent, everyone waiting for him to continue.
"I just came back from there, and I witnessed the power of the Buster Call with my own eyes."
His voice was not loud, but it clearly entered everyone's ears.
People held their breath, their eyes full of surprise and curiosity.
"Ohara was not only destroyed, but many secrets were also covered up."
He continued, a mysterious light flashing in his eyes.
"What were those scholars researching, and why did it bring such a catastrophe?"
The atmosphere in the tavern became increasingly tense, and everyone was hooked by these words, filled with curiosity and fear.
Some began to whisper, while others fell into contemplation.
As the night deepened, the discussions in the tavern became more intense.
The incidents of Sabaody Archipelago and Ohara, like a strong whirlwind, stirred everyone's hearts, making the situation on this sea even more confusing.
......
Marine Headquarters, in the office of the Fleet Admiral, Sengoku was sitting behind his large desk.
The documents on the table were piled high, each related to recent major events.
His brow was furrowed, his eyes fixed on a newspaper in his hand, which printed a report on the Ohara incident.
Sengoku pondered for a moment, finally put down the newspaper, took a deep breath, and looked up at the distance outside the window.
Outside the office window, the sea breeze stirred up layers of white waves, and Marineford was still busy and noisy, but a trace of unease welled up in his heart.
"That Morgans didn't fulfill the promise he made," Sengoku's voice was low, but full of anger.
He clenched his fist, the knuckles cracking slightly, showing his inner anger and helplessness.
Sengoku knew very well that the Navy's intention was to use the Buster Call of Ohara to show the world their absolute force, in order to deter those unscrupulous pirates.
However, some rumors about Ohara were quietly circulating in the world, which greatly undermined his plan.
He stood up, walked to the window of the office, put his hands behind his back, and stared at the distant sea.
The sea breeze blew his military uniform, bringing a trace of coolness, but this coolness could not calm the anxiety in his heart.
"Morgans, you greedy albatross."
Sengoku muttered to himself, his tone full of anger.
He simply didn't believe that Morgans wasn't involved in these matters.
That guy has always been keen on creating sensational news, and this time was no exception.
"Is this operation good or bad for the future of the Navy..."
