Chapter 162 Another Big News Story! What's the Truth?
Another new day.
People around the world are still hotly debating the major news of the Luo Ji Pirates destroying Ryukyu Island and the naval forces of the two major allied nations.
The new newspapers today took them by surprise.
"Ryukuro Island was actually destroyed by those monsters!!"
"That strange bird is fighting the Luo Ji Pirates!"
What are those magic circles?
"The dark magic circle in the sky feels so evil and terrifying; it can actually unleash so many giant black arrows!"
"Who are those monsters?!"
"That bald man in a suit who transformed into human form and flew through the air seems somewhat familiar."
···
Everyone was startled by the pictures in the newspapers.
This magic circle possesses power comparable to ancient weapons, capable of destroying an island.
Morgans' news this time did not directly state that these monsters were the Five Elders, leaving the World Government an open question.
But then he released a photo of Worchley in human form, walking on the moon.
This is how the clues are directed towards the Five Elders.
This has sparked more controversy and discussion.
When it comes to generating buzz, selling newspapers, and selling intelligence, Morgans is as steady as a rock, handling it with ease.
He wants to sell these photos, news articles, and various speculations and conspiracy theories in newspapers for another ten days or so, and make a big profit.
After all, he was risking being relentlessly hunted down by the World Government and the Five Elders.
How could I not make more money and increase my popularity and fame to justify this risk?
···
Baltico, the white-soil island of the Grand Line.
Although Dragon had learned from Kuma that the Five Elders and the World King behind the scenes were personally dispatched to deal with the Luo Ji World Group.
But he never expected that this world king, to whom he had no information whatsoever, would be so terrifying.
This monster actually destroyed an island and annihilated countless lives by using a teleportation magic circle.
Such terrifying abilities and power sent chills down the spine of even the revolutionary leader, Dragon.
Moreover, the King of this world also controls the Five Elders, five Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit users who possess all three types of Haki.
The World Government and the Celestial Dragons have a terrifyingly deep foundation.
No wonder even that arrogant Luo Ji fled in terror the moment he saw the King of the World.
Such terrifying enemies, along with the military forces of the Navy and the CP organization.
Can the Revolutionary Army really overthrow the Celestial Dragons' rule?
To be honest, Dorag broke out in a cold sweat when he saw these news photos.
I still know too little about the Celestial Dragons' background.
Fortunately, it was Luo Ji who exposed these hidden old monsters this time.
If the Five Elders were to launch a surprise attack on the Revolutionary Army, the Revolutionary Army would probably have no chance of escaping.
The king of the Flower Kingdom fell completely silent after seeing the news in the newspaper.
If Luo Ji World Group wiped out those Eight Treasures Navy units, he would have another target to hate.
But now that the World Government and the Five Elders have wiped out his navy, he doesn't even have the courage to harbor resentment.
Fortunately, his old rival, the Kingdom of Mulberry, was in an even worse state, which gave the King of the Kingdom of Flowers a sense of comfort amidst his despair, in addition to his heartache.
At least he still has a few Eight Treasures Navy units left, and the Mulberry Kingdom waiting to be harvested.
Once they conquer the Mulberry Kingdom, he must quickly rebuild the Eight Treasures Navy to maintain the Flower Kingdom's dominant position in the Western Sea.
···
The news today has caused a global sensation.
But the major powers remained silent.
Because from the slightest clues, they had already guessed that these monsters were the Five Elders.
These major powers are wary and fearful of the hidden strength of the world government.
Even the Four Emperors' pirate crews felt immense pressure after seeing this news.
Big Mom Charlotte Linlin sped back to Whole Cake Island, causing the entire Big Mom Pirates to keep a low profile.
She hadn't expected the Five Elders and the monster that hadn't appeared to be so powerful, and she had already made up her mind to form an alliance with Kaido of the Beasts.
Otherwise, a single Yonko pirate crew would be no match for the Five Elders and that unknown monster.
After seeing these news reports, Kaido of the Beasts and King the Wildfire were extremely worried and decisively advised Kaido to leave the West Blue.
The Five Elders are also pursuing Luo Ji. It's impossible for the two of them to snatch Luo Ji from the Five Elders' hands.
Even Kaido, who fears nothing, hesitated for a moment.
He had thought that the guy from the Knights of God was already very strong, but he didn't expect that the Five Elders were all powerful members of the Mythical Beast type.
But the thought that the Hades warship was still in Luo Ji's hands made him extremely irritable.
“Mr. Kaido, Wano Country will become very dangerous without our protection.”
King Flame had completely given up on pursuing Luo Ji. If they encountered the Five Elders, they would be in trouble.
"Luo Ji, that brat, is being hunted down by the Five Elders this time. I wonder how long he'll have to hide, and where he's gone."
This constant chasing isn't a sustainable solution.
King the Wildfire continued to persuade Kaido, saying that even the Five Elders couldn't defeat the Luo Ji Pirates, let alone the two of them.
Moreover, Luo Ji has revealed another trump card this time: this scroll fruit user can actually store so much seawater.
This is a nightmare for Devil Fruit users.
One wrong move and you could be ambushed by Luo Ji.
"You're right, maybe that coward Luo Ji will have to hide for a while!"
Kaido of the Beasts paused for a moment, a rare occurrence. After Luo Ji killed two of the God Knights, he disappeared for a month or two, hiding away.
This time, being hunted down by the Five Elders and an unknown powerful figure, he will probably have to hide for several months before daring to show his face again after the danger has passed.
In that case, even if they continue chasing, they probably won't find anyone.
In the end, Kaido and King had no choice but to abandon their pursuit of the Luo Ji Pirates and return to their base on Onigashima in the New World.
···
The Red-Haired Pirates, who had also arrived in the West Blue, were also taken aback by the news.
They were shocked by the hidden depths and power within the World Government.
"They destroyed another island..."
Shanks gently put down the newspaper, his eyes somewhat vacant, and murmured weakly.
"The Luo Ji Pirates are probably terrified this time and will likely hide for a long time."
Ben Beckman took a deep drag on his cigarette, his eyes looking somewhat serious.
Compared to the rapid rise of the Luo Ji Pirates, the World Government, with its eight hundred years of history, is even more terrifying.
These five monsters and the unknown entities alone are enough to make even the Four Emperors' pirate crews retreat in fear.
"With the World Government revealing such terrifying power, who would dare to attack the Celestial Dragons now in exchange for the Pluton blueprints in Luo Ji's possession?"
Yasopp felt that Luo Ji's bounty plan had completely failed, and all forces would only think about directly robbing Luo Ji instead of attacking the Celestial Dragons.
After the World Government demonstrated its absolute power, Luo Ji has now shot himself in the foot, digging himself into a crisis instead.
Who told this little guy to be so arrogant? After obtaining the Hades blueprints, instead of secretly developing them, he exposed them, attracting the covetous eyes of all the tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves.
They were lucky to escape being personally hunted by the Five Elders.
