Chapter 103 Alvida is arrested! (Please subscribe)
"Naval Headquarters Admiral Flees Upon Hearing the News!"

The New World's Strongest Man?!

Second only to One Piece in bounty: 55 billion Berries! What exactly happened in Whole Cake Island?

Bang! A fist dripping with lava slammed through the table, burning the newspaper with its bright, caring smile to ashes.

Lava rolled around Akainu's body, his angry breathing was like a bellows, and his body was trembling slightly. He growled through clenched teeth, "Fire Tiger Ian! How dare you humiliate me like this?!"

Akainu, a man who dared to fight and kill countless pirates throughout his life, never lost a mission, was an idol to countless marines and a well-known hard-line officer in the Navy.

But one wrong move, and he ended up with a reputation for being a coward who would "run away at the first sign of trouble"?!
What angered Akainu the most was that what the newspaper said... was almost true! Although it wasn't as exaggerated as 'turning his warship around and running away as soon as he saw Ian the Tiger appear in Sabaody Archipelago,' he did not go to the Sabaody Archipelago after hearing that it was a trap.

To put it nicely, it was following the orders of the Marshal and the Five Elders to preserve their own fighting strength; to put it bluntly, it was simply fleeing at the first sign of trouble.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Akainu looked out the window, his extraordinary eyesight easily catching the fear and confusion on the faces of the marines outside. This news had caused Marineford's morale to plummet to a new low, even worse than when Garp and Aokiji were captured!

But he could no longer stand up and inspire the marines. What right did a naval admiral, who feared the enemy's strength and fled at the mere sight of them, have to speak? He himself was the source of the low morale; what right did he have to speak?

This was more painful for Akainu than dying in battle.

"Ian the Fiery Tiger, I will kill you!!"

……

In the Holy Land, Mary Geoise, the Five Elders slammed their fists on the table in a fit of rage, for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

"What did Morgans say?!"

"That bastard said he wanted to guarantee the authenticity of the news, and he had already sent out hundreds of thousands of copies of the newspaper, saying there was no way to take them back."

"It seems he's holding a grudge against us for letting him release the news about the Whole Cake Island incident."

"This unruly fellow must be dealt with. We must control the news and public discourse!"

"The problem now is how to handle the current situation. The morale of the navy has plummeted, rendering them unusable. Borsalino, who is recovering from injuries, has clearly stated that he does not want to accept any more missions to confront Ian the Tiger. And now Sakazuki..."

"This is a trap set by the enemy. Sakazuki should still be able to put up a fight, but the biggest problem is that the Three Emperors Alliance doesn't seem to want an immediate decisive battle. At present, there is no intention or movement to go to Elbaf."

"That Rumble-Rumble Fruit user is also running rampant throughout the Grand Line, attacking six Celestial Dragons and three ships carrying Celestial Gold. If this isn't dealt with quickly, the Celestial Dragons might even be trapped in Mary Geoise and unable to go out. This is utterly disgraceful!"

"We must find a trigger..."

The five elders looked at each other.

Now that things have come to this, let's give it a try. Perhaps there's a chance to get Yanhu Ian to come to us.

……

The New World, on a certain island.

The crisscrossing sword energy had cut the place into countless holes. In the center of the island, Shanks, the red-haired man, sat unceremoniously in front of a huge clod of earth, looking completely satisfied.

“It’s been years, Hawkeye. It seems like we haven’t had a proper sparring match like this since I lost my hand.”

"Hmm, it's not honorable to spar with someone as one-armed as you, so I'm not really interested." Hawkeye, who was also a bit disheveled, said in a flat tone, "I didn't expect your swordsmanship to improve after losing an arm. I should have sparred with you a few more times sooner."

Upon hearing this, the red-haired man's expression gradually turned solemn, and he asked, "Have you decided?"

"what."

"Getting involved now isn't a good choice," Shanks shook his head. "The title of Shichibukai can't bind you. You chose to accept the World Government's summons because of Ian the Tiger, right?"

Hawkeye's expression sharpened: "Just like countless swordsmen challenge me every year, everyone aspires to be the strongest."

From being the 'nemesis of the Seven Warlords' to now being the 'strongest in the world,' only two short years have passed. I was originally waiting for Ian the Flame Tiger to challenge me, but now, I've become the one actively seeking out the challenge."

"It's just newspaper hype that Ian has become the new strongest in the world, but Whitebeard hasn't agreed to it yet." Although Shanks had heard the details of the Whole Cake Island battle and felt that the title might be fitting for Guan Yi, he still advised against it.

"If you get involved now, you will become a huge obstacle for them. The battle then won't be as brief as it was for you and me."

“Only a life-or-death battle can truly be exhilarating,” Hawkeye laughed. Seeing this, Shanks stopped trying to dissuade his sword-obsessed friend, shaking his head and saying, “Whatever, let’s have another match, Hawkeye!”

Hawkeye glanced at Shanks and suddenly said, "I heard that on Whole Cake Island that day, someone who looked exactly like you appeared?"

Redhead paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Where did you get this detailed information? Don't worry about it. I cut off all contact with those things long ago, when I staked my arm on the new era!"

……

"Kurarara... The strongest in the world? That shameless kid who sponges off on someone else's ship?!"

On the Moby Dick, Whitebeard tossed a newspaper to Ace: "Look, Ace, the man you want to chase seems to have gotten even stronger."

“The newspapers always exaggerate.” Marco shrugged. “Dad is still here, we are still here. No one has challenged Dad, so even Ian can’t take away the title of strongest out of thin air.”

In the corner, Teach was writhing alone.

"Damn it, my Dark-Dark Fruit..."

……

Nine Snake Island.

The former Empress, Granny, was stopping the Empress with great concern: "Hancock! Why did you suddenly decide to accept the Navy's call-up! Getting involved in the war between the World Government and the Three Emperors Alliance is not a wise move!"

The empress reached out and rudely shoved the little old lady aside.

"I'll go if I want to, and I won't go if I don't want to. Every decision I make is reasonable, because I am the most beautiful woman in the world!"

She placed one hand on her hip, leaned back in an exaggerated arc, her fair thighs faintly visible beneath her cheongsam, and her eyes flickered slightly.

'The man who dared to wage war against the World Government and kill a Celestial Dragon—perhaps we'll meet him when he's summoned!'

……

Punk Hazard.

Doflamingo has already used the String-String Fruit to ride on the clouds and head towards Marine Headquarters.

"Fufufufu... War is coming. I can feel it, a great war that will determine the future of the world is about to begin. How will it start?"

On one side is the newly crowned world's strongest warrior, Ian, and the alliance of the Three Emperors; on the other side are the Navy Headquarters' top fighting force, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the World Government's hidden forces. Who will be the ultimate winner?

"Is it the one who possesses the national treasure, or the challenger to the established order?! Fufufufufufu..."

……

……

As Enel hunted down the Celestial Dragons, his reputation spread that he could frighten away the Marine Headquarters Admirals without a single battle. The seas were in turmoil, and even the ends of the earth were far from calm.

East China Sea, Xixicono Town.

Alvida, who has completely lost weight, is holding a newspaper, and her expression is meme-worthy.

Old people, subway, mobile phone.

Ever since Guan Yi became the so-called 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' nemesis,' the newspapers she has seen have been increasingly outrageous.

Pirate Emperor? Three Emperors Alliance? Capture Marine Admirals and Marine Heroes?
Now he has become the highest-bounty pirate still alive, and has even earned the title of the world's strongest?!
They... are they the same person?
That face, that smile, it's definitely him!

This is outrageous! That guy's really going to become the Pirate King?! I used to be able to hold my own against him! Me... I smashed the future Pirate King's head with an iron rod?!

Bang—bang—Just as she was lost in thought, strange fighting sounds suddenly rang out outside, accompanied by the familiar screams of her underlings. Alvida's expression changed and she stood up.

boom!
Her office door was also kicked open, and CP9 leader Rob Lucci stood in the doorway.

"Yanhu Ian's henchman and subordinate, Alvida, right? You've been arrested!"
