Chapter 185 Contents of the New Era Newspaper

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Ace, Luffy, your favorite grandpa is back!"

The elated Garp immediately opened the door of the tavern and opened his arms, waiting for a hug from his grandson.

But the next moment...

"The great devil Garp is back!"

"Luffy run!"

The two brats jumped off the bar, turned around and ran towards the back of the bar.

"Ace, Luffy, that's the kitchen over there!"

Maginot stretched out his hand, but it was obviously in vain for the two agile imps.

Seeing that his enthusiasm was in vain, Garp retracted his hand in embarrassment and picked his nose: "It seems that the education of love is not enough."

Maginot leaned forward slightly: "Did Mr. Karp come back from vacation to see his grandson again?"

Many villagers in the tavern stood up and greeted Garp. Only one person shrank his head, trying to hide his presence.

"What are you hiding from? Can you hide it?"

An old man used a cane to knock out the man who had previously said he wanted to be Ace's father.

At this time, he stopped drinking and drank juice instead. He shrank his head and felt aggrieved: "I have been beaten three times! I have stopped drinking, why don't you let me go?"

He raised his head slightly, looked at Garp and then quickly retracted.

"Snapped."

Garp put a hand on his shoulder: "What's wrong? Is this a crime?"

The man hesitated and did not dare to speak clearly.

The villagers who were drinking immediately spoke for him.

"This bastard wanted to be Ace's father not long ago, but Ace hit his head with two wine bottles. Later that night he was beaten three more times, and now he doesn't even dare to drink."

"Hahahaha...I heard that every time I was beaten, I screamed for mercy."

"Mr. Karp is back from vacation. Maybe he will be beaten today."

…

Garp, who understood, smiled and reached out to pat the middle-aged man: "Do you want to be my son?"

The man raised his head slightly and smiled dryly: "Don't dare, Mr. Karp, I'm just drunk and what I said is all nonsense."

After glaring at him, Garp snorted and walked out.

He still had to give his two grandsons a good education. Besides, this guy had obviously been taught a lesson by Lu Jiu's new man, so there was no need for him to do anything anymore.

Under Garp's perception, he quickly found the two imps, twisted them up, and brought them back to the courtyard of his residence one by one.

Carrying out the lounge chair from the house, Garp put the two brats down with a kind face: "So your dream is to become a general?"

Ace and Luffy looked at each other.

"We want to become generals like Black Hand! To protect the people and be respected by everyone!"

"And me! I also want to protect everyone. I'm very powerful. My fists are as good as bullets!"

Black wrist?

Garp looked confused, why does this title sound so similar to that old guy Zefa’s nickname?

"Who is Black Wrist? How do you know him?"

Ace put his hands on his hips: "Black Wrist is the hero of the people. He protects kind people and is a great general who brings all pirates to justice!"

? ? ?

Garp was stunned. Why didn't he know that Zefa, who had been in the youth training for many years, had a reputation that could spread to the East China Sea?

At this time, little Luffy on the side snapped out a newspaper.

"True justice is to follow the basic moral bottom line of human beings. The definition of good and evil should be determined by morality, not by superiors."

The little Luffy's voice hadn't changed yet, so these remarks sounded awkward when he said them in his childish voice.

Garp picked up the newspaper and looked up three big characters [New Era].

There is a line below the title: [The awakening of youth means the awakening of the times]

This section stunned Garp.

The awakening of youth? The awakening of the times?

This is not the World Economic News, not a newspaper created by Morgans.

So where did this thing come from the East China Sea? How did it appear in Luffy's hands?

Karp was about to ask his grandson, but the next moment he was attracted by the headline on the first page of the newspaper.

[Using the Four Emperors as bait to lure pirates to kill each other]

The Four Emperors...

Soon, Karp was attracted by the title and began to read the text below it.

In one photo, the New World challenged Whitebeard, BiGMOM and Kaido's pirates, with broken ships and corpses after the failure.

What follows is the reason why the name of the Four Emperors was thrown out, as well as the analysis and conclusion.

It was informed in detail that those who attack civilians and ordinary people on the island will not be able to obtain the title of Yonko.

The purpose of throwing out the names of the four emperors and leaving one behind is to make the pirates compete with each other.

Attacking civilians and ordinary islands has no meaning, and the strength cannot be proven. The navy and the world government will not easily let the bait thrown out be eaten, and the pirates in the new world will not recognize such a pirate emperor.

The second half of the article clearly points out the two ways to become the fourth pirate emperor.

The first is to challenge the three confirmed Yonko, namely Whitebeard, BiGMOM, and Kaido.

Not only did they mention their names, the newspaper also clearly analyzed the power of the three Yonko.

Whitebeard's three-color Haki and Shock Fruit, and BiGMOM's Haki and Soul Fruit, are specially marked to win only if there is no fear of them in the heart, otherwise the soul will be taken away.

Finally, there is Immortal Kaido, a being who cannot be killed or even hurt.

Any injuries will be recovered in the next moment. Even if the head is cut off, sunk to the bottom of the sea, or burned by fire, it cannot be killed and will recover soon.

Garp frowned and continued reading.

After introducing the three fourth queens, the newspaper proposed a second way to become a four emperor.

That is to complete the purpose of dropping bait to the World Government, eliminate a large number of pirates, fight among the same kind, and prove that they have the ability to become the Four Emperors.

Slaughtering towns can only prove their ferocity. Pirates who attack ordinary people cannot prove their strength. The World Government will not let the so-called name of the Four Emperors become a joke.

If a pirate group without strength is destroyed on the second day after becoming emperor, then the name of the so-called emperor will become a joke.

Once the name becomes a joke, neither Whitebeard nor BiGMOM nor Kaido will admit the sweetness of this bait.

The description method in the newspaper is very precise and easy to understand. The number of words takes up a large part of the chapter, and it is not as simple as a summary.

Garp frowned.

He knew very well that as long as he had a little brain, he could understand that what this newspaper said was true.

The true purpose of the Navy is clearly written on this, and the pirates who slaughtered the towns want to increase the reward to obtain the name of the Four Emperors. The Navy and the World Government will indeed not go as they wish.

The reason was also explained clearly.

In this way, this newspaper allowed the Yonko to achieve the purpose of being bait.

But... at the same time, the contents of this newspaper also clearly revealed the intention to protect ordinary people.

It makes some sense.

Karp turned over the newspaper, and there were several headlines on the second page: [Collision with BiGMOM, only Vice Admiral Sakaski survives]

The first half of the content describes in detail the recent negotiations between Vice Admiral Sakaski and BiGMOM in the waters of the world, with sharp words and a tenacious attitude that showed no sign of submission.

But soon, the second half slapped me in the face so quickly.

The strong image in the first half is directly transformed into a stupid image in the second half.

All the sailors on the entire warship were killed, and only Lieutenant General Sakaski escaped alone, using a phone bug to call for support along the way.

In the end, after being knocked away by BiGMOM with a knife, he let it go.

At the end of this page, it was mentioned that Sakaski is special, because he is a rare natural disaster type devil fruit user, and his lava ability is very strong.

As an alternate general or even the unofficial future general with the highest combat power in the navy, BiGMOM did not want to start a real war with the navy, so naturally it would not really kill the lieutenant general.

But throughout the incident, the newspaper felt that the dead sailors needed someone to pay attention to.

[We are not from the natural system, nor are we vice-admirals, nor will we be future admirals. 】

[We are just ordinary people among all living beings. Maybe one day we will become a navy because we want to protect our hometown. 】

[So those ordinary sailors who died, maybe we should think about it, these meaningless deaths because of the commander's recklessness may also be our future. 】

The contents of one page were quickly read by Garp, and his brows were furrowed.

New Era……

The content about the Yonko allowed the navy to achieve its goal to a certain extent, but soon the content about Sakaski pulled down Sakaski's pants.

The title really goes to the point. It doesn’t explicitly criticize, but it points out that only Sakaski survives.

The word "survive" is really cleverly used...

Garp didn't quite agree with this guy who always insisted on absolute justice.

But on the other hand, the sacrifice of ordinary navy was a normal thing in the eyes of Malinfando.

This world is a world of the strong. Compared to the powerful Haki users and the countless ability users in the Grand Line, ordinary sailors are too fragile.

Even the overlord's Haki can't withstand the impact, and the aftermath of the battle can destroy the warship.

Under such circumstances, too many grassroots members of the Navy die every day.

But this newspaper, for the first time, told all ordinary people this bloody reality from another side.

He told them not to focus on the strong, because most of the people in this world are ordinary people at the bottom. Instead of caring about the life and death of the strong, it is better to see what happens to the ordinary navy who follows the strong.

The descriptions on both pages are vivid, the words are able to evoke emotions and the sentences are true.

But the more this happened, the more uneasy Garp became.

Soon, there was a page in the last corner of the newspaper, which recorded an inexplicable story.

A child of ordinary birth, after witnessing the port being plundered by pirates, joined the country's bodyguards, trained hard every day, and was eventually known as a black-armed general.

The story's growth from weak to powerful is not long, and a large part of it is used to describe what the general named Black Wrist said.

"It's taken over..."

Garp muttered.

He understood why he was fascinated by it, because the entire chapter was written from the perspective of ordinary people, and the hardships of training were described in one stroke. It was as if he was becoming stronger through training.

After a long time, Karp put down the newspaper.

Who made this thing?

Beside, two brats were whispering to each other.

"What happened to the big devil?"

"Is it possible that he was frightened by the name of the Black Arm General?"

"What are you thinking? Let's take this opportunity to run."

As soon as Ace finished speaking, the two looked at each other and raised their legs to run away.

As a result, they were grabbed by the back of their necks just as they started.

"Tell me, where did you get this newspaper?"

The two people who were caught waved their arms wildly to try to break free, but it was useless under Garp's restraint.

After struggling in vain for a while, Ace could only reply dejectedly: "A bird delivered it last night, and I spent 100 Baileys."

Luffy on the side hurriedly said: "There are 50 Baileys in it, which is the pocket money given to me by Aunt Bellemere!"

News bird?

Garp put the two people down. He didn't have time to deal with these two unruly grandsons at this moment.

As soon as the two kids were put down, they ran away. After running for a while, Luffy turned back, carefully looked at his grandfather, took the newspaper on the ground and ran at a faster speed.

In the courtyard, Garp took out the Den Den Mushi connected to the Admiral's office at the Navy Headquarters.

"Bulu Bulu... Bulu Bulu..."

The Den Den Mushi rang for a long time without being connected. Garp hung up and thought for a while.

If it was a newspaper delivered by the Newsbird, since the Kingdom of Goa in the East China Sea received it, then it is obvious that the entire sea must have traces of this newspaper.

It reported the plot of using the Four Emperors as bait, and also recorded in detail the abilities of the three Four Emperors, as well as Sakaski's black material.

In this case, it is estimated that Sengoku will definitely receive the news, and there is no need to tell him.

Thinking of this, Garp threw the Den Den Mushi into the corner of the house.

Fortunately, he didn't answer it. With such a big thing happening, if he had answered it just now, he would definitely ask me to cancel my vacation, which would be a loss.

Well. Go find the two grandsons and strengthen them.

To become a general, you need hard training.

...

At the same time, in the Admiral's office of Marinford.

The Den Den Mushi in front of Sengoku was ringing, but he was still on the phone with the other party.

"So far, we only know that the newspapers are delivered by owls, and the price is the same as the World Economic News, one hundred Baileys per copy."

A low voice came from the Den Den Mushi: "The World Government has launched an investigation. Although the other party's report on the Four Emperors has put the plan back on track, the words in it are also very biased."

Sengoku's face was serious: "That's right. The report on Sakaski will also cause the public to misunderstand the navy."

The Den Den Mushi imitated the Saint Satan and said: "Find out the person behind the New Era News. They need to be regulated by the World Government like the World Economic News."

...

After talking with Mary Joa, Sengoku sighed and sat down.

He felt that the past few years as a marshal were the most tiring years for him. He was always worried about the future of the navy.

And the bastard who called just now should be basking in the sun in the East China Sea now.

Frowning, Sengoku stood up and called back directly. The Den Den Mushi requested to be connected.

But after waiting for a long time, no one answered.

"Old bastard!"

After cursing, Zhan Guo gave up helplessly.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Kuzan, who sent Sakaski back to the headquarters for treatment, was called over by Zhan Guo at this moment.

"Marshal Zhan Guo."

Zhan Guo pointed at the newspaper on the table: "You should have read it, right? Since last night, there have been owls delivering this newspaper all over the sea."

Kuzan scratched his head, his eyes seemed to have just woken up: "One hundred Baileys per copy, I bought one too. Yawn..."

A yawn came out, making Zhan Guo feel his head buzzing.

Since last night, he has not fallen asleep since he got the news of this newspaper. He has been busy with inquiries from above and investigations from below.

As a result, this...

This future admiral of the navy, who basically rests after returning to the headquarters except for hammering warships every day, has not woken up yet.

"Bang."

The table was slapped, and Zhan Guo stared with a pair of red eyes: "You and Kevin rescued Sakaski, so I need to know if there were other people present at the time."

After the Great Pirate Era began, Kuzan, who had already gotten used to the state of the marshal, didn't care at all. He spread his hands and replied: "The waves formed by BiGMOM's sword swing could form a tsunami. I rushed there alone, and Kevin also kept the warship far away and went there by moon steps."

"In that situation, everyone's attention was on BiGMOM, and we didn't pay attention to whether there were other people. So..."

Hearing this, Zhan Guo sighed and waved his hand to let Kuzan, who didn't know anything, leave.

Facing a being like BiGMOM, it is common sense that even three monster vice admirals from the youth training camp dare not be careless.

But this newspaper...

Black Arm General?

Zeffa?

Although the background is different, the other party's attitude and position can also reveal something.

But none of this is important. What is important is the channel of owl delivering newspapers, which is also what the World Government cares about.

Morgans' World Economic News, Newsbird can issue bounties from the Navy, which in some form means it is cooperating with the Navy and the World Government, or in other words, it is controlling them.

Although the bird was also not very honest, it also knew the power of the World Government and the Navy and would not cross the line.

As for the New Era Newspaper, they did not know which organization distributed the newspaper, nor did they know what the other party would say in the newspaper next time.

"Huh..."

After exhaling, Zhan Guo sat back and was slightly absent-minded. At this time, Kuzan had left the office.

The bait of the Four Emperors was cast. After reading the content of the New Era Newspaper, the number of pirates attacking the town should decrease. After the pirates eliminated each other, the sea could be balanced again.

However... the feeling of undercurrent was becoming more and more obvious.

"Boom boom boom."

...
