Chapter 152 Preparation and Response
In the vast and boundless New World seas, this is the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.
At this moment, dozens of ships gathered around an enormous vessel like stars surrounding the moon.
The flag on that large ship bore a strikingly large white beard emblem, marking it as the flagship of the renowned Whitebeard Pirates—the Moby Dick.
The deck of the Moby Dick was now densely packed with people, all of whom were the famous captains and vice-captains under Whitebeard's command.
However, the atmosphere on the ship was heavy, like the oppressive calm before a storm, making it almost impossible to breathe. Marco and the other captains all wore gloomy expressions, their brows furrowed, as if shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds.
The prominent scar on the white-bearded man's face was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's hearts and making the somber atmosphere even more intense.
Silence lingered in the air for a long time. Finally, Whitebeard slowly surveyed the crowd below, his booming voice breaking the deathly silence: "I presume everyone has already seen the latest news in the newspapers!"
His voice was low and hoarse, carrying a hint of unconcealed grief.
"That news is absolutely true. Several of our brothers, those excellent captains, were killed by that bastard Minos!" A flash of anger appeared in Whitebeard's eyes, and his clenched fist trembled slightly.
“Minos not only dared to invade our territory, but also cruelly murdered our brothers. Tell me, can you swallow this insult?” Whitebeard’s eyes gleamed as he swept across everyone’s faces.
After Whitebeard's angry roar subsided, Marco and the others mustered their strength and shouted back, "This cannot be tolerated! Absolutely not!"
"That's right, we absolutely cannot tolerate it!"
"That Minos is utterly wicked, we must avenge him!" The crowd's voices rose and fell, filled with rage.
Whitebeard glanced down again, then swung his arm sharply and shouted, "Yes! We must avenge that bastard Minos! Even if it means fighting to the death, we will never back down!"
He's a despicable and shameless scoundrel; we're sworn enemies, determined to fight to the death!
And so, the Whitebeard Pirates sprang into action, gathering their crew members and preparing with high morale to avenge their fallen captain.
……
Meanwhile, in the mysterious and secluded headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, Long sat quietly in his room, clutching a newspaper tightly in his hand, his face filled with shock.
The newspaper felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he unconsciously gripped it tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
Who could have predicted that in just a few short days, Minos and the mysterious Shadow King would accomplish such a momentous feat?
The dragon had long heard of Minos's power and knew that he was no ordinary being.
But there was almost no information about that Shadow King before this, and it was unexpected that he also possessed such terrifying strength.
The Red-Haired Pirates, on the other hand, are a top-tier royal crew renowned throughout the New World.
Red-Haired Shanks is exceptionally talented. At a young age, he rose to the position of one of the Four Emperors with his outstanding strength and extraordinary spirit, enjoying immense glory in the pirate world and inspiring awe in countless people.
However, this powerful pirate crew was almost completely annihilated by the Shadow King and his Shadow Legion.
This news is truly unbelievable.
Dragon remained silent for a long time, his gaze never leaving the newspaper, and muttered to himself, "Minos, the Shadow King, the World Government... each of you is unfathomable..."
In a house in Fishman Town on Fishman Island in the New World, Jinbe is lying on a chair.
His wounds had not fully healed, and his whole body was tightly wrapped in layers of bandages. From a distance, he looked like a round, chubby rice dumpling.
His uninjured hand was holding a recent newspaper.
Jinbe stared intently at the newspaper, his eyes filled with disbelief. Then, he suddenly shouted, "This is impossible! How could Daddy be no match for that wretched Minos?! This is absolutely impossible!"
His voice, filled with intense anger and resentment, echoed in the small house, sounding particularly mournful.
……
In Dressrosa in the New World, in a magnificent palace, Doflamingo sat on an incomparably splendid chair.
He was also holding a newspaper in his hand. Although there was no obvious change in his expression, the way he stared at the newspaper revealed his inner turmoil.
The newspaper he was gripping so tightly had its edges slightly deformed, a testament to the turmoil in his heart.
His heart was trembling violently. He could almost feel the unstoppable, enormous changes of the times, and a deep sense of fear, emanating from the newspaper.
He seemed to have a premonition that the world was undergoing earth-shattering changes, and that he himself could be mercilessly submerged in this surging tide at any moment.
After a long silence, Doflamingo finally spoke slowly and in a deep voice: "Minos, are you planning to sweep away the old Yonko forces directly? That's terrifying... It seems I have no choice but to find another way out and find a backer to rely on."
"Otherwise, in this cruel new world, I'm afraid there really won't be a place for me."
……
On Amazon Lily in the Calm Belt, inside the Empress's palace, the Empress sat on a magnificent chair, holding a newspaper in her hand.
By this time, she was no longer the arrogant and haughty woman she once was. The contents of the newspaper were like a bombshell, completely shocking her.
The Red-Haired Pirates are a powerful force in the pirate world, yet they were so easily swept aside, and by the Shadow King, who has a deep-seated grudge against them.
This huge disparity deeply affected her seemingly proud but actually fragile heart.
Involuntarily, she recalled Rayleigh, who had gone alone to seek revenge on Minos and the Shadow King.
After a long silence, the Empress finally spoke in a low voice: "Rayleigh, I hope you won't act impulsively and won't go to seek revenge alone! Otherwise, your life will really be in danger."
……
On Kuraigana Island, in a huge and gloomy castle, Shichibukai Hawkeye Mihawk sat in a chair, leisurely sipping red wine. His gaze was fixed on the newspaper in his hands, his face remaining as calm as ever.
After a long while, Hawkeye tilted his head back slightly, downed the glass of red wine in one gulp, and then said calmly, "Red-Haired Shanks, I hope you're alright! Otherwise, there will be one less person to spar with me in the future."
