This exclamation quieted the merchant ship's dining hall.
The Pirate King and the Navy Hero were mentioned?
Those were truly great figures, and they hailed from the East Blue.
Even though Roger was a pirate, he became the Pirate King, so he had a great reputation in the East Blue as well.
"What big shot?"
Someone looked curiously at the drunk man, a middle-aged man with a flushed face, who was clutching a newspaper and waving it excitedly.
"Could it be another great pirate from the East Blue?" someone asked curiously.
Even if it was a great pirate, as long as they didn't appear right in front of them, these people wouldn't feel much other than excitement.
"Not a pirate!"
Seemingly enjoying the attention of so many people, the man became even more excited.
He simply stood up and waved the newspaper in his hand.
"The News Birds just delivered it. I bought a copy, and I didn't expect it to be such big news."
He waved the newspaper in his hand.
Robin turned her head curiously, her eyes falling on the rapidly waving paper.
When she saw the large photo on the back of the newspaper clearly, Robin was stunned for a moment.
"It's you!" Robin said in a low voice to Cyrus.
"It's Cyrus, the Pirate Hunter Cyrus from the East Blue!"
Cyrus turned to look at Robin, but before he could speak, the middle-aged man holding the newspaper shouted loudly.
"Pirate Hunter Cyrus? Never heard of him. Did he do something big on the Grand Line?"
Many people were puzzled.
Because they hadn't seemed to hear this name before, had he suddenly become famous?
Many people also felt some regret for not buying a newspaper when the News Birds had stopped at the merchant ship.
Couldn't this guy just say everything at once?
"Eat your food!" Cyrus said softly to Robin.
"The last time you were in the paper, you said your name wasn't on it. This time, it is," Robin whispered to Cyrus.
Over there, many people directly surrounded the drunk middle-aged man, snatched the newspaper from his hand, and someone began to read the report aloud.
"I really underestimated that albatross. His information network is truly impressive."
Hearing the people not far behind him reading the report about him, Cyrus's voice held a note of surprise.
"Albatross?" Robin asked curiously.
"The president of the World Economic Journal, a Zoan-type ability user, Bird-Bird Fruit, Albatross Model," Cyrus explained.
"I don't even know that much about you."
Robin also heard the report about Cyrus from behind and looked surprised.
Capturing pirates in the East Blue, clashing with the Sun Pirates after killing the Fish-man Pirate Arlong, fighting Jinbei, killing a cadre of the Donquixote Family, battling Chinjao, and destroying successive islands in the North Blue.
Of course, the most shocking thing was that he had fought Admiral Aokiji in the West Blue and also fought Admiral Kizaru in the North Blue.
Although the report stated the outcome was unknown, the fact that he could fight two of the Navy's top combatants and come out unscathed was enough to leave people speechless with shock.
The voice reading the report from behind grew softer and softer, eventually falling silent.
Cyrus got up and left the dining hall, and Robin got up and followed him.
"Now that the World Economic Journal's report is out, I'm afraid you won't be able to be like before," Robin said in a low voice on the stern of the merchant ship, where Cyrus was leaning against the railing.
"Mm, but I don't plan to stay in the Four Seas anyway. Once I finish what I need to do, I'll go to the Grand Line. The seas there are more complex, and this ocean is very large," Cyrus said, turning to look at Robin.
"Also, I'll see if I can find a few capable people."
"Capable people?"
Robin was taken aback.
"Like you, with a good head on your shoulders. The association's affairs can be arranged in advance."
"So you plan to delegate the work?"
Robin instantly understood Cyrus's meaning.
After all, building a force from scratch required a lot of work.
It wasn't something that could be created on a whim.
There were all sorts of trivial matters.
"Do you already have someone in mind?"
However, since Cyrus said so, Robin asked.
"Mm, I don't have the mind to think about these things, so the best way is to find people to do the work, and I can just do what I want to do."
Robin suddenly felt that she might become very busy in the future.
After all, she couldn't make demands of Cyrus.
After chatting for a while, the two returned to their cabin on the merchant ship.
News about Cyrus quickly spread throughout the entire merchant ship.
After all, there wasn't much entertainment at sea, especially for the crew.
When this shocking news broke, it immediately became a hot topic of discussion for many.
Of course, there was only one newspaper, so not many people could see it.
When the captain of this merchant ship saw the photo in the newspaper, he was completely stunned.
That familiar face.
Although the background was different, he was quite familiar with that face.
'Cyrus!'
'So it really wasn't just someone with the same name?'
Although he desperately wanted to approach Cyrus, his reason told him that the distance between him and such a major figure was too great.
He even bought the newspaper at a high price to prevent anyone from disturbing Cyrus, and while Robin was out, he delivered it into her hands.
Cyrus could also sense that the previously cheerful captain had become reserved after he appeared.
There was nothing he could do about it.
...
The merchant ship continued its voyage in the East Blue, and thanks to the efforts of the News Birds, this newspaper was scattered across the Four Seas.
The newspaper was also delivered to Paradise and the New World of the Grand Line.
Some were shocked by Cyrus's achievements.
Of course, many remained skeptical.
Many others became interested in Cyrus.
Of course, most of them were Pirates.
After all, the identity that had been spread about Cyrus was that of a Pirate Hunter.
A unique profession on the seas that specifically targeted Pirates.
Naturally, the group that paid the most attention to Cyrus was this very group of Pirate Hunters who made a living by hunting Pirates for bounties.
Never before had such a formidable individual appeared in the ranks of Pirate Hunters.
As for the Navy, the situation was different.
It was one thing for Kizaru to have taken action, as he was sent by Sengoku.
But Aokiji had actually fought this Cyrus in the West Blue?
...
In the Fleet Admiral's office.
Sengoku's eyes were fixed on Aokiji.
The others had the same look, except for Garp, who was picking his nose.
"So, you fought him in the West Blue, which you failed to report before."
Aokiji still had that lazy look, showing no intention of speaking first, so Sengoku questioned him directly.
"Yeah, we ran into each other and had a little spar."
Aokiji nodded.
"And?"
The corner of Sengoku's mouth twitched uncontrollably as he pressed on in a deep voice.
However, he shot a rather unfriendly glance at Garp.
'This guy Garp was unreliable, and the disciple he taught was the same.'
"Nothing else!" Aokiji shook his head directly.
"Yo, Admiral Kuzan, that's not what the newspaper says. You two made quite a scene."
Kizaru, who had returned after finishing his business in the North Blue, spoke up.
"The newspaper wrote about the destruction your battle caused."
