The Vibrating Grand Line Alone Can Rival Any Four Emperors Pirate Group In The New World!

And the first to receive the news was also the first to show an unbelievable reaction.

Naturally:

Various towns, islands, kingdoms, pirate forces, etc., located in the first half of the Grand Line.

Faced with the shock of this "big earthquake" news, everyone reacted with disbelief.

The first reaction was, "Impossible!"

The news of Marine Admiral's previous dispatch had already caused a sensation across the entire Grand Line.

On an island near Marineford, someone saw the Buster Call warships that symbolize "elimination of evil."

And, the two Marine Admirals aboard them!

A terrifying lineup of this size was enough to make any power on the sea change their expressions. Even the Four Emperors would take it seriously!

Not to mention, Marine was not facing countless enemies this time.

Nor was it the Four Emperors pirate groups, with their vast number of forces entrenched in the New World.

This was just the first half of the Grand Line, with only one man!

That's all!

Now, the entire sea was going crazy with rumors that Marine had failed again?!

How could they believe this?

After all, when the two Admirals were dispatched, despite the world's attention, no one thought Marine would fail.

Even the reason why all the Marine branches in the first half of the Grand Line entered a state of combat readiness was to prepare Naval Headquarters for the real threat from the New World: the Whitebeard Pirates!

But regardless of what countless people in the first half of the Grand Line thought, when powerful forces secretly dispatched their men to the sea area where Bai Ye fought Akainu and Kizaru, they saw the recorded images sent back with their own eyes.

In the images that made people tremble uncontrollably, all forces fell silent.

There was no other reason.

Within the recorded images, the sea—no, that could no longer be called a sea area—as far as the eye could see, the blue sky revealed a barren land.

Hundreds of miles of sea area had completely disappeared!

The only visible scene was the dry seabed, cracked and endless.

If it hadn't been clearly marked on nautical charts as a sea area, and witnessed firsthand, no one would have believed it.

A battle had evaporated the entire sea area in just one day!

...

North Blue.

As the news spread.

At the G-64 branch:

"C-Colonel Kerry!"

"There's news about Bai Ye… no, about that gentleman!"

A young Marine quickly ran to the port.

The dark-skinned new Colonel Kerry heard the words and took the newspaper cautiously.

"What's the news?" Kerry asked.

He subconsciously turned to look at the newspaper in his hands.

But he didn't dare to read it.

Afraid of seeing the worst possible news.

Ever since Bai Ye left the G-64 branch, the Marines there had been paying close attention to him. The old colonel had worked hard for their branch.

At first, when they heard that the old colonel actually had the ability to destroy a Marine fleet, they were shocked but relieved, knowing his true strength.

But the good news didn't last long.

When they heard two Marine Admirals were dispatched, the entire G-64 branch couldn't help but tremble. Their hearts beat violently.

As Marines, they knew the strength of Admirals, hailed as the highest combat power. They were monsters standing atop the sea.

So, the G-64 branch was filled with tension until this moment.

Now the news had arrived, but Kerry didn't dare look.

The nearby Marines gritted their teeth in frustration:

"Damn it! Those bastards from the other North Blue branches and the newly appointed Rear Admiral! We reported everything to the highest branch in North Blue, but they ignored us for so long! They're clearly trying to hide the truth about what happened!"

"That's right!"

"If Colonel Bai Ye hadn't blocked the passage from North Blue to the Grand Line before he left, we'd have gone straight to Naval Headquarters to report! Even if Mr. Bai Ye's guilt couldn't be mitigated, they'd have known the truth!"

The Marines continued to vent their frustrations.

Kerry interrupted in a deep voice:

"Enough. Don't bring up the old colonel's name anymore. If someone is stalling, it means that certain people know the truth and are trying to hide it. Don't create more trouble for the colonel."

"Yes, Colonel Kerry!"

The Marines nodded and fell silent.

Finally, Kerry opened the newspaper. His heart raced uncontrollably, just like the nearby Marines watching him.

The news came into view.

The G-64 branch, where Bai Ye had once served, and even Marine recruits from nearby towns who grew up under his care, collectively froze in place.

Their eyes widened as they stared at the news in disbelief.

Someone swallowed hard and asked:

"Colonel Kerry… is this real?!"

"So, Bai Ye… no, that lord, was this powerful all along? I used to bother him while he was fishing. Now I realize he could have ended my life at any moment!"

"Marine Admiral… failed?!"

At that moment, Kerry's heart pounded wildly, and his face reflected his disbelief.

Suddenly, a Marine came running:

"Colonel Kerry! Someone is outside, asking to see you!"

The sudden interruption startled everyone in the G-64 branch.

After realizing it was a 'companion,' one Marine grumbled:

"You idiot! Don't scare us like that!"

"One more scare like this, and I'll be heading straight to heaven!"

"S-sorry!" the young Marine stammered, rubbing his head awkwardly.

Kerry asked, "Who's outside?"

Vigilance filled his eyes. His instincts told him it might be someone targeting old Colonel Bai Ye.

The young Marine quickly nodded and said, "It's someone claiming to be Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army!"

The name dropped like a bomb.

Everyone in the G-64 branch froze.

"The Revolutionary Army…?"

"And… Dragon? The most wanted criminal and leader of the Revolutionary Army?!"

What could he possibly want here?

...

At the same time, as the news spread like a major earthquake, it rapidly shook the world.

In less than a day, Bai Ye's fame reached terrifying levels across the first half of the Grand Line and beyond!

Starting with his act of killing the Celestial Dragons in North Blue, to closing the North Blue route to the Grand Line, cutting through the Red Line to halt pirates, destroying a Vice Admiral-led pacifist fleet, and evaporating an entire sea area in his battle with Marine Admirals.

Each of these feats was uncovered one by one, shaking the world.

People had once thought Bai Ye was simply a lunatic, declaring war against the World Government and Marine. They believed he would soon be suppressed by Marine's absolute combat power.

But now, as all these shocking events converged on one person, all they could feel was fear… trembling fear.

And without a doubt, that one man, who came from North Blue alone, possessed combat power on par with the Four Emperors of the New World!
