A large headline on the newspaper prominently featured Ace's bounty poster, taking up the biggest portion of the page.
"The Marines officially announced today that the century's most evil pirate, Whitebeard's division commander Portgas D. Ace, has been captured. The trial result: guilty of heinous crimes, he has been imprisoned in Impel Down, awaiting final execution!"
The newspaper headlines also contained numerous descriptive articles, all singing praises for the Marines, exaggerating the "evil deeds" once committed by the Whitebeard Pirates, and explicitly portraying Ace as a heinous pirate who was utterly depraved.
But such articles could only deceive the uninformed masses of the world.
Those who truly knew the inside story, such as Ye Jia, didn't believe a single punctuation mark.
"There's no need to talk about Ace's character. To even drag Whitebeard into this, they deserve to die."
Ye Jia snorted coldly.
Who was Whitebeard?
The super pirate hailed as the "Strongest Man in the World," who once contended with the Pirate King Gol D. Roger!
Would such a figure really engage in arson, murder, and pillage for such petty reasons?
Only fools would believe such talk.
"As soon as the news of Ace's capture spreads, 547 worlds will fall into turmoil. The days ahead won't be peaceful..."
Ye Jia, being familiar with One Piece, knew this very well.
Ace's capture, and its widespread announcement by the Marines, was the fuse for the Summit War.
This major event, which ignited the entire pirate world, had far-reaching consequences and greatly propelled the development of the entire future plot.
Especially the death of the super pirate Whitebeard, and the dramatic appearance of Blackbeard, who seized Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit... Of course, the most regrettable thing was Ace's tragic death protecting Luffy.
"How can I call myself a part of the Pirate King's world now? If I don't participate in this Summit War, how can I justify it?"
A smirk played on Ye Jia's lips.
Ace had been captured, and the Pirate King's grandest Summit War was about to unfold. He himself was now considered a significant fighting force. If he didn't go to watch the excitement and make an appearance, wouldn't that be too much of a pity?
"If I remember correctly, after Ace's capture, to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates, the Marines quickly convened the Warlords of the Sea, making it imperative for them to participate in this war."
"Since the Warlords of the Sea are all coming, I'll definitely be there!"
"That guy... was incredibly arrogant during the Summit War. He especially loved watching the show, wild and overbearing. I've long found that guy annoying... Perfect, since he dared to attack me this time, I'll go take him down first!"
Zzzzt zzzzt zzzzt—
Bluish-purple electric light crackled in Ye Jia's palm, illuminating his face.
"After recent training, I feel immense progress. I wonder what level my current strength has reached. It's time I found someone to properly test it on!"
To become strong as soon as possible, Ye Jia had to become even more formidable before the incident of killing the Celestial Dragon came to light.
Otherwise, how would he deal with the Admirals' attacks then?
He had to remember that he was different from Luffy... Luffy merely beat up the Celestial Dragon; he didn't kill him. But he had utterly annihilated the Celestial Dragon, leaving no trace!
Just based on this, Ye Jia might not only face Kizaru, but quite possibly Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru combined!
"Captain! Two pirate ships spotted ahead!"
Suddenly, Karlz shouted loudly.
"Two pirate ships?"
Ye Jia heard this, then quickly looked in the direction Karlz was pointing.
He saw, at the horizon where the sky met the sea, two dark figures confronting each other. He could barely make out that they were two ships, very large ships, but their specific forms were completely indistinct.
"Karlz, do these two ships have pirate flags? Describe them to me." Ye Jia said.
"Yes, they're both pirates!"
Karlz said while looking through the sniper rifle's scope, "One of the pirate flags only has a single skull, and around the skull, there are nine snakeheads coiling around it!"
The Nine Snake Pirates?!
As soon as Ye Jia heard Karlz's description, he immediately thought of the most beautiful woman in One Piece—Empress Boa Hancock!
Back then, Ye Jia was also quite fond of the Empress. He thought, 'It's clearly a manga, how can there be such a perfect face and figure?' It perfectly matched his Eastern aesthetic, a truly captivating dream lover.
He never expected to encounter her here!
"According to the current timeline, Luffy is still on his way to fight Gekko Moriah. He hasn't even set foot on the Sabaody Archipelago, let alone been sent flying to Amazon Lily by Bartholomew Kuma."
A smirk played on Ye Jia's lips. "Since that's the case, I won't be polite!"
"Karlz, what about the other ship?"
"The other ship's pirate flag... has three skulls on it!" Karlz said.
"Three skulls? Any other distinguishing features?"
"Yes! This pirate ship is different from the others. Like a raft, it's bound together with three gigantic wooden stakes!"
It's him!
Upon hearing Karlz's report, a sharp gleam flashed in Ye Jia's eyes. He immediately thought of a notorious villain, the most detestable antagonist in the world of One Piece—Blackbeard!
"Blackbeard meeting the Empress? This never happened in One Piece! And with the current strength of the Blackbeard Pirates, who even defeated Ace, the Empress definitely wouldn't be their match, would she?"
"Let's go take a look and see what's really going on!"
...
"Where's your Captain Blackbeard? Tell him to come out and face me. This matter needs to be accounted for, doesn't it?"
On the bow of the Nine Snake pirate ship, a gracefully slender figure leaned against a pink snake. Her red and white cheongsam split open, revealing her fair, slender legs.
Raven-black hair cascaded like a waterfall, and a serious expression was on her exquisitely beautiful face.
This was Empress Boa Hancock, a peerless beauty who could topple nations and cities, captivating countless people!
However, it was clear that she was not in a good mood today.
Her territory had suddenly been attacked, reduced to nothing, and countless people tragically massacred... The Empress had directly led a large force to confront the perpetrators, and on the way, she had run into the primary culprit of this attack—the Blackbeard Pirates.
