Karp made a full meal using local ingredients in the kitchen.
When Steel Bone Kong, who was thousands of miles away, heard this news, his heart was also shattered, and he couldn't help but eat six more bowls of rice for his midnight snack.
The news quickly spread throughout the Navy Headquarters, and the entire Marinefandos, after a brief moment of shock and loss of consciousness, instantly fell into ebullient cheers.
The Golden Lion broke into the headquarters single-handedly and successfully escaped from prison. He has always been one of the shames of the Navy.
And this battle in Nuo Xia undoubtedly washed away this shame, inspired the entire headquarters, and even boosted the morale of the soldiers!
Of course, it was not only morale that skyrocketed, but also Nosha's popularity among all sailors.
Since Nuo Xia was transferred to Xihai for a year, many recruits who had just arrived at the headquarters were not very familiar with Nuo Xia.
But with such an exposure, coupled with the crazy Amway of many seniors and colleagues who had met Nuo Xia, these recruits quickly became Nuo Xia's loyal fans on the spot.
Needless to say, the young sailor sisters, after seeing Nuo Xia's photo, all of them became starry-eyed, and many of them even had already figured out the name of the future child with Nuo Xia...
And at the same time.
The World Economic News Agency, through some unknown means, also obtained detailed inside information that day.
Under the order of the president, Morgans, the editorial office immediately worked overtime and published a large front-page report to publish the news.
The headline that was originally prepared, "Defeat the Shichibukai Alen, everyone marches into the new world! Super star Shanks makes a grand appearance!" was ruthlessly thrown into an inconspicuous corner.
When dawn rises.
Countless news birds carried fresh newspapers, spread their wings and flew out, sending this shocking news to every corner of the sea...

Grand Line, G-6 Branch.
It was dusk, and behind the base fortress, smoke curled up from the family living area.
"It's a bit too exaggerated, hey hey hey..."
Xi Liu squatted on the toilet, holding a newspaper in one hand and a cigar in the other. Although his butt was not constipated, his face looked the same as one with constipation. "The previous wins were easy to say, but this time..."
He took a strong drag on the cigarette, not knowing what to say.
Damn, that’s a golden lion!
According to legend, the pirates who are as famous as Roger the Pirate King and Whitebeard Newgate are definitely great figures, but he was defeated by Nosha just like that?
That guy obviously only graduated a little over a year ago, right?
In comparison, he is still just a naval captain, and the strongest pirate he has ever defeated only has a bounty of 70 to 80 million...
The gap is getting bigger and bigger. Shiliu sighed sadly. If this continues, no matter how hard he tries to catch up, he won't be able to see the rear taillights of this bastard...
"Hiryu!"
Dong-dong-dong, there was a violent knock on the door, followed by the girl’s unkind question:
"Aren't you out yet? Five minutes ago I told you that the meal was ready for you to prepare. Why are you still squatting in the toilet now? Are you secretly smoking again!"
"immediately!"
Shiliu panicked immediately, put out the cigar immediately, flushed it into the toilet, sprayed some perfume everywhere, and then opened the door with the newspaper.
Outside the door, a young medical lady wearing an apron, arms folded, looked at him up and down with suspicion.
"Well, when I saw the news about my friend in the newspaper, I read it for a while..."
Xi Liu swallowed and said with a smile, "Really, I really don't smoke. If you don't believe me, come in and smell it yourself..."
"Who wants to smell that!"
The girl glared at him and said angrily, "Don't do this again next time. Come and have dinner. Your favorite medium-rare steak is ready for dinner, and it's almost cold."
"Okay!"
Shirium smiled broadly, and immediately hugged the girl's slim waist. Amidst the latter's scolding push, she strode towards the restaurant. However, just after taking a few steps, there was a thud, as if something fell to the ground.
The two of them subconsciously looked down at the same time, and were both stunned.
It was an exquisite silver lighter...
————————
New World, Cake Island.
After several months of reconstruction, the Cake Castle, which was originally destroyed into ruins, finally has some appearance again.
It's just that the various treasures originally stored inside, as well as BIGMOM's favorite paintings, jewelry, and collectibles... can never be returned.
On the large sofa, there was a mountain of various sweets and snacks, and a fat mountain of meat was engrossed in eating.
At the same time, there is a team of chefs consisting of hundreds of people, constantly delivering freshly baked desserts...
In the corridor, two figures looked at this scene from a distance, with worried expressions on their faces.
"Can't you go and persuade mother, Katakuri! She can only listen to your advice now!"
The eldest son, Perospero, lowered his voice and complained to his younger brother:
"It's been half a year! In the past six months, my mother's bulimia has hardly stopped, her waking hours have become less and less, and her weight has more than doubled..."
"If this continues, what will the future of all nations be like? Don't you care at all about the consequences?"
"...There's nothing I can do."
Katakuri sighed, looked at the squirming mass of flesh, and said quietly, "Brother, you are also a married person. About the relationship between men and women...you know more than I should, right?"
"You also know the crux of my mother's problem. If I don't solve it from the source, no matter how much I try to persuade her, what's the use?"
The source? Perospero was speechless.
Of course he understood what the "source" meant. Ever since the incident on the wedding day, his mother's mental state had become somewhat unstable.
Sometimes she gnashes her teeth with hatred for that guy, and sometimes she can be seen in the bedroom, holding the guy's photo with a face full of obsession, and letting out a crazy laugh that makes people's scalp numb...
All the children did not dare to mention that man's name in front of BIGMOM.
"There is only one way to catch that Nuo Xia again."
Perospero stamped his foot and said bitterly, "I don't believe that guy won't come to the new world. When the time comes, I will take Smoothie, Cracker, and Snag Owen, and they will all be dispatched. I must let him
That guy has to suffer a lot..."
"..." Katakuri turned his head and glanced at his brother with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?"
"You haven't read this morning's newspaper, have you, brother?"
Katakuri sighed, took out a newspaper from his arms and handed it over, "After reading this, I wonder if you still have the confidence..."
What's the meaning?
Perospero strangely took the newspaper and after reading the headlines for a few times, his chin suddenly became long and his eyes almost popped out.
"Eh eh eh eh?"
He couldn't help but exclaimed, "No way! Such a thing could happen? That Nuo Xia, can't even the Golden Lion be his opponent???"
"Can you keep your voice down..."
Before Katakuri could finish speaking, a sudden gust of wind flashed by. Perospero was stunned, and before he could even turn his head, his body was lifted up from the ground.
"Hey, Perospero..."
A ferocious face like a demon appeared in front of him, and the eldest son trembled, listening to the low and sinister voice in front of his eyes, "Did you just...mention...the news about that guy?"
————-
The great route.
A remote sea area filled with mist.
Five huge pirate ships were cut into several pieces by unknown slashes, and fell to pieces floating on the sea. The pirates struggled hard, and the sounds of wailing and screaming could be heard everywhere.
"Is this the great swordsman?"
"Who slashed the sword energy?"
"Where are the boats? Why are there none left?"
…
On the damaged bow deck.
A man with short hair and a gorilla-like look, shiveringly took off the captain's hat on his head and crawled towards the cabin with difficulty.
However, at this moment.
"Where are you going...?"
A low and calm voice sounded at this time.
The gorilla man's pupils shrank, and he turned his head tremblingly, as if looking at a demon, and looked up at the figure approaching step by step.
It was a young man wearing a burgundy patterned shirt, with a beard, a black top hat, and holding a broad cross sword in his hand.
The most eye-catching thing is his sharp yellow eyes like eagles. Just looking at each other unintentionally can make people feel palpitations and feel an invisible sense of oppression.
"The great...great swordsman, the eagle...the eagle-eyed Mihawk!"
The gorilla man gritted his teeth and said angrily:
"It's been half a year since I, 'Giant Ape' Kondo Ichiro, came to the Grand Line and earned a bounty of 80 million beli along the way. But I ask myself, I have never offended you in the past six months, so why do you want to kill me!"
This is a question that he hasn't thought about until now.
Apparently ten minutes ago, he was happily eating hot pot and singing songs with his subordinates. In the sea mist, he saw a fool rowing a boat hard with a sword. He was laughing, making up songs, clapping his hands and making fun of him.
But in the blink of an eye, when he was drunk, six pirate ships under his banner were suddenly cut into two halves at the same time.
The next moment, before he sobered up, he was horrified to discover——
Mihawk, the eagle-eyed man who has become famous in the past few months, has already boarded his ship and looked at him with a look like a dead man.
This doesn't make sense?
The mohawk man, who was in a half-drunk state, was so confused that for a moment he couldn't connect the great swordsman in front of him with the rowing figure before.
"..."
Looking at Ichiro Kondo lying on the ground with a face full of grief and anger, Mihawk was silent for a while, and then spoke softly after a while:
"You don't need to know, just be a fool and go on the road with peace of mind."
The next moment.
The black knife waved, a cloud of blood mist spread out, and the body on the ground was broken into two pieces.
After sheathing the knife, Mihawk noticed a brand new newspaper on the inside of the corpse's coat. He bent down and picked it up, glanced at the pirates struggling and screaming in the sea around him, and shook his head slightly.
He had no intention of going on a killing spree, so he turned around and jumped off the bow of the ship, floating back into his coffin-like boat.
The boat sailed away into the wind, with ghosts and wolves howling behind it.
Without looking back, Hawkeye gracefully crossed his legs and unfolded the newspaper.
"Um?"
After just a few cursory glances, he was stunned and froze on the spot.
"Even that golden lion..."
After a long time, Hawkeye came back to his senses. Looking at the familiar face on the front page photo, he couldn't help but murmur with a wry smile:
"As expected of Lord Nuo Xia, it seems that the strength you showed in the last competition with me is just the tip of the iceberg..."
Fortunately, he once naively thought that at least at the end of the battle, Nuo Xia took a serious attitude and went all out, allowing himself to understand the gap between the two.
Now it seems that you are clearly just playing house and playing games with your children, right?
Simply ashamed.
"It has become more distant..."
Suddenly, a drizzle of rain began to fall in the sky. The eagle's eyes looked up at the sky, as if he wanted to see Malinvando under the red earth continent through the thick dark clouds.
Can I really catch up with that man?
For a moment, his eyes were a little dazed, and various complex emotions such as loss, envy, despair, etc. flashed through his mind.
But in the end.
These distracting thoughts disappeared, and his eyes became as sharp and firm as an eagle's again.
"There will come a day..."
Hawkeye gently rubbed the hilt of Hei Daoye's sword and murmured in a voice that only he could hear clearly.
"I will definitely win the title of the world's greatest swordsman, Mr. Noxia..."
"When we meet again next time, I won't lose again!"
Rumble!
The rain fell harder, and there began to be thunder and lightning in the sky.
Driven by the waves, the boat drifted farther and farther into the mist...
——————
Chambord Islands.
Along the port of a certain illegal area, people were coming and going, and it was quite lively.
"It was clearly agreed upon that one hundred thousand beli, how come it became one hundred and fifty thousand?"
The fat man and Jesus Bu were haggling with the old coater man over the price, and they couldn't stop arguing.
Shanks squatted on the stone and put down the newspaper in his hand, his expression even more painful than when he saw Bucky become the Pirate King...
——————
Holy Land, Marie Joa.
In the top-floor office of the World Government, the warm afternoon sun shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, five elderly people with different figures and appearances were standing or standing, looking at the documents in hand with different expressions.
They are the elite leaders among the Celestial Dragons and the rulers responsible for government affairs in the world government——
Five old stars.
The silent atmosphere lasted for a while.
"Have you read the battle report just sent from the Navy Headquarters?"
The old man wearing a kimono and holding a demon sword in his arms was the first to speak quietly, breaking the silence.
"Um."
Wearing a flat hat and a fluffy white beard, Wu Laoxing put down the documents in his hand and said leisurely, "Guarded the Impel City, defeated the Golden Lion... saved a catastrophe, what an amazing young man..."
"Indeed, a remarkable achievement."
"Especially when I'm just twenty years old..."
"...This kind of talent is really rare, let alone in the history of the elite camp, even if we look at the entire Haiyuan calendar."
Several other Five Old Stars also nodded, feeling the same way.
In their hearts, they have reached a consensus on their evaluation of Nuo Xia. If they summarize it, it is probably that this boy has an unlimited future and at least has the status of a marshal...
"When the general seat becomes vacant in the future, perhaps this child can be given priority."
Kimono Wu Laoxing stood up and came to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the magnificent holy land below with deep eyes:
"I have a hunch that this young man may not only become a pillar leader of the navy in the future, but this terrible era of great pirates will also end in his hands..."
