Chapter 10 The incident fermented and became famous throughout the world
Who is the hottest person in the ocean right now?
There is no doubt that it is Francis D. Lane.
The news about him was directly slaughtered, and the newspaper worked overtime to print and sell out of stock, which made the newspaper bosses smile like chrysanthemums.
It is said that because of the significant improvement in performance in the past two days, the president of World Economic News, "Big News" Morgans personally opened a champagne banquet to celebrate.
This birdman has been very drunk these days, and he must say that "Tian Yaksha" and the swordsman Ren are the cutest people in the sea...
No wonder Birdman was happy, newspapers were selling really well during this period.
"Shocked! Doflamingo, the "Ama-Yasha" of the Shichibukai, was killed instantly by the mysterious swordsman with one sword! "
"Who is the strongest in the world? Francis D. Lane challenges Whitebeard!"
"The whole world is in uproar! The great swordsman Ren is arrogant, claims to be the king of the new world, and uses the mouth of Tianyaksha to mock the strong men of the world!"
There are as many headline-grabbing news stories as you can imagine how popular this matter is.
Brother Ming's round of ridicule involves too many people, and they are all big bosses, either admirals or four emperors, generals, disasters, etc., who are not worthy of being on the list.
Some people even jokingly said that if you don't have some weight, you won't even be qualified to be ridiculed by the great swordsman Ren...
In short, it is very topical, and any character involved can keep everyone arguing for a long time.
Sales illustrate the problem.
After this incident was revealed, the news that the Straw Hats destroyed Judiciary Island and defeated Moonlight Moria, which was originally popular, quickly became unpopular.
The worst thing is that Blackbeard, who had only been popular for a few days, unfortunately became the first cannon fodder of this super news bomb.
Various reports about the sudden rise of the new King Shichibukai were instantly muted, and the sales of newspapers with him as the front page were even less than one-tenth of Rennes's.
The reason why there was such a big fuss was not only due to the large number of powerful people affected, but also related to Doflamingo's identity.
He used to be a Celestial Dragon, so he must have attracted the attention of the authorities, that is, the Five Old Stars and the CP department of the world government.
He is one of the great pirates in the Shichibukai, and he is bound to attract the attention of the navy and other pirate forces.
He is Joker, the leader of the Don Quixote family and one of the giants of the underground world. He is involved in various illegal businesses such as drugs, arms, and human trafficking. He has industries all over the world and is watched by the entire underground world.
His factory also produces artificial devil fruits, and secretly colludes with the forces of the Four Emperors and the Beast Pirates.
His arms business has spread all over the world, and he has even been targeted by the revolutionary army...
After analysis, it is not difficult to find that the navy, the four emperors, the revolutionary army, the CP department, the five old stars... Doflamingo is closely watched by almost all the black and white forces in the world. He is really a piece of cake.
In terms of strength, Tianyaksha cannot be said to be top-notch. He is not necessarily stronger than "Drought" Jack or "Thousand Hands" Cracker.
But he is indeed one of the most influential people in the world.
There is no doubt that defeating Tianyaksha can produce world-class influence and popularity.
Coupled with the fact that the group mocked the big guys from all walks of life, it brought topicality.
To put it bluntly, I am now living in the sea. I don’t know who the great swordsman Ren is. I am out of date and cannot keep up with the trend of the times!
So what is the public’s impression of him?
According to an interview with a newspaper, many people think that he can defeat Tianyaksha with one sword and is indeed very strong.
But more than half of the people still agree that the next big news that will shock the world is that the great swordsman Renn will have his head blown off by a certain boss...
This person is too arrogant and dares to make fun of the whole world. He will definitely die soon.
Because of his loud tone, the great swordsman Ren was nicknamed the "King of Guns" among the people - "King of Guns", or King of Guns for short.
Many big guys have not commented on this yet, and the Beast Pirates were the first to respond.
The day after these news were published, a senior member of the Beast Pirates threatened that as soon as their boss Kaido was free, he would rip off Ren's head and use it as a chamber pot.
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Not long after, while walking along the Lovers' Avenue in Dressrosa, Renn was blocked by a group of desperate reporters.
In response to the Beasts Pirates' clamor and threats, in front of all the reporters, he extended his right hand and said something with a smile──
"Kaido, be my son!"
Reporters: "..."
At this time, melon-eating people all over the world had a collective climax.
The spokesperson of the Beast Pirates was so shocked by these words that he became autistic.
In addition, according to rumors, some members of the Whitebeard Pirates were blocked by reporters and said they were very stupid and cursed. I don’t know whether they were scolding Kaido or Ren...
Someone is already opening a business in the underground world.
Bet on how long "King of Guns" Renn can live, who will be the first to be taught how to be a good person, etc.
Among them, the handicap of "Hundred Beasts" Kaido and Renn had the most people betting and was the most lively.
Everyone is looking forward to whether Ren will have his head ripped off by Kaido and used as a chamber pot, or Kaido will be beaten until he calls him daddy...
Of course, Rennes has better odds.
If you bet on him to win, you can get more than three times the reward. This kind of odds of making a big upset proves that everyone is not optimistic about him.
"Hundred Beasts" Kaido has been famous for decades, and he is famous for his punches and kicks.
As for Ren, in addition to defeating Doflamingo, he only relied on a few blows...
Of course, no matter how exaggerated he is, this matter has obviously attracted the attention of many forces.
………
Red Earth Continent, Holy Land Marie Joa.
In the conference room of the world's top leaders, in the "Room of Power", Soviet Chairman Gorbachev, US President Lincoln, British Prime Minister Churchill... ahem, there are five old stars who look like Lincoln, Churchill and others.
Have a meeting.
The Five Old Stars are the top leaders of the world government, and all five of them are male elders.
Their real names are unknown, their experiences are unknown, their strength is unknown... everything is mysterious.
The only thing that is certain is that they are very busy. Every time they appear, they are in meetings, meetings, and meetings...
As expected of a leader, there are always endless meetings.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This time is no exception, they are still having a meeting.
The five old men were either sitting on the sofa or chairs, or standing, each holding a newspaper or information in their hands.
"Francis D. Lane, huh, another member of the D family, and another daring madman!"
The five-year-old star with blond hair, wearing a dark red suit, and who looked like Lincoln held the newspaper and snorted coldly.
The newspaper even implicated them.
Reporter G: About Wulaoxing...
Ming Ge (Ren): What are the five old stars? I've only heard of triangles, pentagrams, and hexagrams... The interview time is limited, so don't ask about little people.
After living for so many years, this is the first time that the highest power in control of the world has been treated like a nobody.
Even after reading the newspaper, they were a little bit dumbfounded.
"He's a pushy kid, but──"
The five-old star wearing a white robe, bald head, and glasses spoke.
He held the supremely sharp sword "The First Generation Ghost" and looked sharply at the huge ravine that stretched several kilometers long in the newspaper picture.
As if through the paper, one could sense the powerful sword intent that cut through mountains and seas, and the bald five-old star said in a somewhat admiring tone:
"Swordsmanship is indeed very powerful, comparable to Mihawk and Red Hair."
Just from the perspective of a swordsman, he expressed his appreciation.
The five-year-old star who looks a lot like Gorbachev has an unpleasant look on his face:
"But he is clearly a arrogant, lawless and troublesome man."
"The navy and the Whitebeard Pirates are about to start a war, and we don't have time to deal with him."
"Don't worry, Dressrosa has not been occupied. Doflamingo is cooperating with him. The two seem to have reached some kind of cooperation. It is very troublesome... but we can let it go for the time being."
"But the bounty should be increased."
"Well, give him a bounty for a big shot!" There are also five old stars who are very worried about Ren's words about being a little person.
"How about 500 million Baileys?"
"Being able to defeat Doflamingo is almost enough."
"agree!"
"agree!"
The five old stars quickly reached a consensus.
A new bounty was posted shortly after.
Name: Francis D. Lane
Age: 25 years old
Identity: Captain of the Lionheart Pirates
Charge: Insulting the top leader of the world government, provoking and slandering many senior naval generals including "Akainu", "Kizaru" and Garp, with arrogant attitude and bad nature...
Bounty: 50,000,0000 Baileys!
Overnight, from 5 million Baileys to 500 million Baileys, it increased 100 times!
Strictly speaking, defeating Tianyaksha will not cause the bounty to skyrocket to such an extent.
Originally, before Straw Hat Luffy defeated Ming Ge, the bounty was as high as 400 million beli. After the defeat, it only increased from 100 million to 500 million, and Renn had almost no bounty basis.
But who asked him to say that Wulaoxing is a nobody...
………
Naval Headquarters, Marineland.
There were more than twenty people sitting in the spacious conference room, with the lowest military rank being Vice Admiral.
Because the war is imminent, many naval officers and elite soldiers have been gathered in Marinefando.
Except for Akainu, who is responsible for guarding Marijoa, basically all the important people are present.
The naval marshal Buddha Zhi Sengoku on the main seat is holding a newspaper in his hand and talking to someone on the phone on the table.
"Doflamingo, can you still arrive at the Holy Land MarieJoa on time to attend the mandatory meeting of the Shichibukai?"
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaation... I will definitely arrive on time without marshal's trouble," he said.
The phone bug's eyes showed the shape of sunglasses, and Brother Ming's laughter was as arrogant and evil as ever.
"About Francis D. Lane..."
"Don't ask me any questions about him." After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone.
"etc……"
Seeing that the phone bug's communication was suddenly interrupted, Buddha's Warring States couldn't help but punched the table, which shook the table several times. He cursed, "Damn it! These scum of the sea really can't hope for anything.
superior!"
Seeing that the marshal was so angry, the lieutenant generals did not dare to answer the question.
"Isn't this an expected situation? Maybe they are colluding."
Next to him, Lieutenant General He, Chief of Staff of the Naval Headquarters, was reading a newspaper with a calm expression.
Except for her, the Navy veteran who was always laughing and joking, drinking tea, reading newspapers, sleeping, and even eating senbei in the conference room was nowhere to be seen.
Warring States rubbed his eyebrows. He was about to scold Garp, but found that he was not there. He thought of the painful interpersonal relationship between Roger, "Fire Fist" Ace and Garp, which made him even more headache.
I feel tired and increasingly unable to do what I do.
It seems that he will not be able to hold the position of marshal of the navy for a few more years.
Warring States looked at the naval generals and asked: "Everyone, what do you think about Francis D. Lane?"
There's a big pirate again, it's really a headache.
"Alala, what an arrogant young man."
General Kuzan leaned back on his chair, yawned, and said lazily, "I heard that he was going to blow Akainu's head off with one punch. I wonder what Sakaski would think after hearing this."
Lieutenant Generals: "..."
They knew that Kuzan and Sakaski would not deal with him, so they deliberately mocked him.
But how dare they accept this?
"Threaten to blow the head off Sakaski's dog, so scary, so scary, this Francis D. Lane."
The one who dared to speak out at this time was naturally a veteran.
Professional veteran actor Porosalino smiled obscenely and said in an exaggerated tone:
"Tsk tsk, with my three-legged cat skills, I can only run away when facing the invincible swordsman Ren, even Kaido the beast can only be treated as a son, and Big Mom is not worthy of carrying shoes... What else can I say?
What?"
Warring States Period: "..."
Lieutenant Generals: "..."
The content in the newspaper was really dumbfounding, and it almost blacklisted all the powerful people who could be ranked in the sea.
Among the navy, only Sengoku and Aokiji escaped.
The four emperors were not left behind.
None of the lieutenants knew how much courage the swordsman Ren had to take to dare to provoke so many people.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "But he is indeed quite powerful."
Lieutenant General He stopped the two veteran actors Aokiji and Kizaru from speaking out of tune, and his expression became serious, "It's not difficult to defeat Doflamingo.
However, for a rebellious pirate like him to have his teeth smashed and swallowed, and even take the initiative to act as a stepping stone for the opponent... Renn must be a first-class strong man."
The first level is the general, the powerful man at the level of the Four Emperors.
"..."
Hearing her words, the dozen or so lieutenant generals present were shocked.
It's not that no one has analyzed Ren's strength. Most people think that he is only very close to the peak master, equivalent to Director Magellan, Katakuri, "Fire Calamity" Jhin and others.
I don't think he really killed Doflamingo instantly and won after a fierce battle.
Lieutenant General Ghost Spider subconsciously retorted:
"Chief of Staff, are you overestimating him? Maybe he just colluded with Doflamingo after defeating him."
Lieutenant General He and Buddha's Warring States shook their heads at the same time.
They knew Tianyaksha's nature very well. If the other party hadn't had overwhelming terrifying strength, that guy would never have been willing to serve as a foil to others due to his arrogance.
This is not a matter of cooperation or not, this is the inner unruliness of the maritime heroes.
After hearing Lieutenant General He's words, Kizaru and Aoki's eyes became more cautious.
Almost as close as ten.
Are there not many pirates who clamor to take off the white-bearded dog's head every year, beat Kaido to pieces, and annihilate all the admirals?
But how many people care about what they say?
Not to mention the popularity, I probably don’t even have the qualifications to report it.
Why is it that only Rennes can cause such a stir?
Because everyone who knows Doflamingo knows that there are many people in the sea who can defeat him, but there are only a few people who can defeat him.
Anyone with a sharp eye can analyze that Renn is most likely a peak warrior with strength comparable to that of a naval admiral.
Only when a strong man of this level is "clawing" and showing his presence, the big guys will look at you sideways, otherwise who will care about you?
"Sister He is right, at least his swordsmanship is better than mine."
Sitting next to Lieutenant General He, a beautiful, tall and long-legged Lieutenant General suddenly interrupted.
She has a beautiful face, fair and delicate skin, and a beauty mark under her sexy red lips. She has the feeling of a classical oriental beauty.
She is the Vice Admiral of the Navy, the "Peach Rabbit" candidate for general, and a rare female great swordsman.
As we all know, there are very few female swordsmen, and even fewer at the top level. This has almost become a deep-rooted impression.
Even people like Koushiro said such stereotyped words to his daughter Koina: "Female swordsmen will never become the best in the world due to physical limitations."
At this time, Lieutenant General Taotu was holding the newspaper and staring intently at the crack in the picture in the newspaper, his eyes full of energy.
Such a powerful slash, no less powerful than Eagle Eye, it made her hands itch...
"Zhu Yuan, your slashing is the strongest."
Before anyone else could say anything, the anxious-looking Lieutenant General "Tea Dolphin", the Navy's No. 1 dog licker, who was also a candidate for general general, started to flatter him.
Unfortunately, his vulgar smile, which was comparable to that of a kizaru, only earned the beauty a blank stare.
"Zhu Yuan, it's time for you to work harder."
Lieutenant General He looked at this outstanding female general and said, "Don't be idle all day long. I will be relieved when you take over the position of the strongest swordsman from Hawkeye."
"Well, Ahe is right, you and Jiaji (tea dolphin) really need to work harder." Buddha of Warring States nodded in agreement.
Peach Rabbit and Tea Dolphin are excellent and very powerful.
But compared to Aokiji, Akainu and Kizaru, they are still not that interesting.
It would be fine if it were another era. In this chaotic "Great Pirate Age", if you want to be a naval admiral, there is no difference at all.
If they don't work harder, they may not be able to be successfully promoted to general in the future.
"Defeat Hawkeye? This is a bit difficult for me." Lieutenant General Peach Rabbit placed his hand on his forehead and sighed, "I am not a monster like Kate."
Kate Reinhardt, also known as Lieutenant General "White Dragon".
Hearing her name, the lieutenant generals all had a look of admiration on their faces.
"Yeah, why haven't I seen the foodie lady recently?"
Kuzan clapped his hands gently, looked around, and said in a frivolous tone, "I also want to invite her to dinner."
"Escorting Fire Fist Ace to Impel Down."
Porusalino crossed his fingers and smiled obscenely, "Kuzan, I advise you to give up on this idea. The Five Old Stars talked about matchmaking, and the Celestial Dragons proposed... They refused without hesitation. Can it be your turn?
?”
"Ah la la, that's not necessarily the case."
Qingzhi didn't seem to hear him at all. He was just joking and continued to joke regardless of the situation.
"Impulse City is a dangerous place. If the foodie girl is in danger, I might rush over and be a hero to save her."
"You can pull him down."
The smile on Mr. Kizaru's face became more and more obscene, "She won't die even if you die."
Bailong is not a peach rabbit or a tea dolphin. Just like Garp said, she can definitely challenge Kaido alone.
"That's right. It's all because the foodie girl is too strong and doesn't give people a chance."
Qingzhi leaned on the back of the chair and put on the blindfold, "It seems that I have no hope. Life without an affair is meaningless. I'd better continue to sleep."
Lieutenant Generals: "..."
Why did the topic get here?
Bang!
The Warring States Marshal was so arrogant that he slapped the table hard, with veins jumping on his forehead: "That's enough for you two! This is the conference room!"
Tired.
Watching two old actors paddling around, eating and waiting to die makes me feel upset.
Although today's meeting was not a formal meeting, it was just to discuss the matter of Doflamingo and Ren, but in a short period of time, the topic had been diverted twice by them.
Why can't they two old fritters learn from Akainu and Bailong?
What's their work attitude? They work hard and don't complain, either while working or on the way to work.
Unlike these two parallel imports, they behave frivolously, speak exaggeratedly, and are either lazy or sleeping.
Don’t think about making progress and don’t do your job properly!
If he continues to work as a naval marshal for another two years, his hair will probably turn gray...
………
The sky is clear and blue.
The wind was calm, and a small boat was drifting on the sea.
On the coffin boat, the world's greatest swordsman, Joracol Mihawk, was carrying the most powerful black sword on his back, holding a newspaper, and his eyes were extremely intimidating like a pair of eagles.
"Francis D. Lane, very good, the day is very close for us to meet."
I thought I would have to wait for a while, but a powerful enemy worthy of all my efforts has appeared.
There were many powerful swordsmen that he was unable to fight due to various reasons.
Yu no Hiryu, Gion, Foil Bista, Pluto Rayleigh... Unfortunately, he is currently unable to fight against these people.
Either it's hard to find, your identity is sensitive, or it's in the wrong place.
But for a swordsman, nothing is more boring than having no opponent.
But at this moment, he felt something in his heart. The man in the newspaper was the one he was looking forward to, and he was more worthy of a fight than Rayleigh the Pluto, Bista the Foil, and the others.
………
Sea of All Nations, Cake Island.
"Humph, this brat! He doesn't know how to live or die!"
Auntie's face became very fierce when she saw Brother Ming's sentence in the newspaper - "Why are you mentioning that old woman? Does she have to carry Ren's shoes?"
old woman?
Even a woman with a little temper can't bear this, even though she is indeed quite old...
But he can’t say it directly!
Moreover, among the four emperors, she was the most hacked, and she could not be said to be the most incompetent.
"Mom, do you need us to deal with him?"
Asked one of the Four Dessert Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates, Senju Cracker.
Please note that there are still four generals at this time, and there is still a guy who made up the number who has not been expelled from the generals...
"No, although this kid loves to show off like that bastard Roger back then, he is also somewhat capable...it's not easy to deal with him."
But the aunt refused. When she was not getting sick, her IQ was still online.
She pondered for a while: "We don't have time to deal with him. Send someone to keep an eye on the movements of the Whitebeard Pirates. No, go in person and remember to stay farther away than the surveillance ships of the Navy..."
Compared to Tenyasha and Ren, the movements of the Whitebeard Pirates are more important.
The former is just fun to watch, while the latter is a major event that can really change the world structure.
As long as Ren didn't really infringe on her interests, she didn't bother to fight against a guy who became a top-notch strongman at a young age.
Many people actually have similar ideas to her.
One is that there is no time, and the other is that it is unnecessary.
This kind of thing is obviously a one-off, precisely because he has blackmailed too many people, so it will not damage anyone's dignity and reputation.
If Lane had only named one or two people, it might have angered the victim.
We are all top experts, what do you mean by specifically targeting me?
………
In a certain sea area, ships are gathering.
At a glance, there are many sails on the sea, and dozens of ships form a super fleet. The scale is daunting.
"Dad, this guy has gone too far."
On the main ship Moby Dick, Captain "Diamond" Jozi of the Third Division tore up the newspaper in his hand, looking indignant.
Forget it if it's black.
He also imitated his father's tone and wanted to accept Kaido as his son...
"Gu la la la la la..."
Whitebeard himself smiled happily, "I think this kid is a talent, but it's a pity that I don't have time to deal with him."
You know your own physical condition best.
Really old.
In a few years, I'm afraid he won't be able to wield the sword anymore. He doesn't miss being the strongest in the world. Compared with this, rescuing Ace is more important.
Although there are many strong men under his command, only Ace can support the future of the entire Whitebeard Pirates.
There is no way, not everyone can maintain a big family and a big business.
It doesn't matter if he dies. Once Ace dies, there will really be no hope for the future of this family.
Looking at Ren's young face in the newspaper, Whitebeard sighed in his heart that he no longer belonged to the new era, and put up the newspaper.
The paper flew around like a dead leaf, fell into the cold sea water, and was instantly submerged by the surging waves.
The times are rushing forward. Who will finally be able to shoulder these 800 years of history and challenge the world?
He knew that the person Roger was waiting for would appear in this era.
However, he can't see the ending...
………
Dressrosa, King's Heights.
Sunflowers are planted in the small central garden, and rows of golden corona-shaped flowers bloom passionately in the sunshine.
Ren was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, drinking a sweet and sour iced lemon juice with a straw in his mouth, quite leisurely.
"Mr. Francis, this is the information you want about the Pirate Empress."
Princess Violet held a stack of information papers and handed it to him.
"Thank you." Ren thanked her politely and reached out to take it.
"Are you interested in the Pirate Empress?" the princess asked pretending to be casual.
"Yeah, I'm very interested."
Ren looked at the violet with a smile, "I want to know the figure, measurements and cup sizes of the most beautiful woman in the world, and be familiar with every inch of her skin..."
'Little color batch!'
Princess Violet forced a smile and said, "Haha, I still need to practice dancing, so I won't disturb your enjoyment."
It was inevitable that she would be targeted and fall into the clutches of the devil, so she quickly found an excuse to escape.
Seeing her running away as if there was a wolf behind her, Ren shook his head.
He had no intention of helping the royal family of Dressrosa, so he stopped harvesting this beautiful wild flower.
He spread out this pile of information on the "Pirate Empress" and combined it with the information he knew, and began to sort out Anna (Medusa)'s detailed files.
He wanted to see what she could do on her own over the years.
