159 Do you sin as Superbia Sin? (1/2)
The slow caw of a sea gull broke him out of his reverie as the coo landed on the rail that he had been leaning on. It shot him an enquiring look as it passed a paper over. Grudgingly, Shanks handed over the money that the paper required.
”Oh! The paper's finally here!” Yasopp called out cheerily as he came over to Shank's side. His loud voice quickly grabbed the attention of the rest of the people on board. (Ben and Roux shot over confused looks as Roux ate a chicken wing under Ben's headlock.)
Shanks looked at his crewmate's frowning face before sighing and conceding the puzzle part of the paper over. Most did not know this, but Yasopp was quite addicted to the simple crosswords that appeared in every publication of the article, the funny comics on the side obviously helped.
Yasopp smiled before running off to the side, his position quickly filled by one of the older crewmembers Barnie who came to the side to have a slight smoke.
On the very first page in bold letters was written; ”The Warring Emperors, The Storming World!” an article penned personally by the headline seeking Morgan that spoke of the finally abated conflict between the two newer additions to the world's highest rank.
”The New world faced a tumultuous storm, with the Beast Kaido and the Cotton candy Loving Big Mom as they terraformed the chaotic waters of the New World. Though the two only clashed on the first day of the conflict, the damage that they caused was still catastrophic, causing a bulk of Sea Kings in the area to migrate into the near islands, it was one of the most massive beast migrations from the time of the Flying Fish Wave caused by a clash between the previous Pirate King and the current Strongest Man in the World.
Sources say that the conflict was so far reaching that it even forced the Marines to send in a diplomatic force to mediate the two emperor's affairs. The Hero of the Marines lead a collection of young and upcoming talents right into the centre of the storm to uphold justice and bring a damper on the war. Unfortunately, the pirates had already schemed for such an intrusion and with a stroke of luck managed to force away the marine's forward forces.
Having no choice Garp had to fend off the forces of the two pirates all alone as he made way for the recruits to retreat. In the clash, he caused so much damage to the pirate forces that the two emperors' were unable to show up on the battlefield after the first day of the clash.
On the seventh day of conflict, the Drought Jack alongside a flank of the 'Beast's' massive armada directly attacked Big Mom causing heavy damage to the already wounded empress.
Due to the unforeseen damage, that Jack, King and Queen (Who is rumoured to be equally strong if not more so then his contemporaries) each have had their bounties increased, with King being worth a massive 1,280,900,000 belli! While Jack and Queen each hold a terrifying bounty of 900,000,000 belli.
On the side of Big Mom, Charlotte Katakuri has been assessed to possess a bounty of a shocking 850,000,000 belli.
These pirates are terrifying existences and are not to be trifled with!” Here the article ended, revealing papers that held the new bounties of the four figures alongside terrifying mug shots that caused some of the weaker Red Hair pirates to quail.
