In other parts of the East Blue, news about the Straw Hats was spreading while more and more Navy ships headed toward the kingdoms that had been established over the last two years and had now classified themselves as part of the World Government.

While everyone had their own comments, in Syrup, Queen Kaya carefully read the headlines in the newspaper.

"I hope you're okay… Usopp," she murmured, seeing the photo of her husband among Luffy's crew.

In Cocoyasi, the minister was also preparing to head to Mary Geoise to represent the country on behalf of Nami and Nojiko. He glanced at the newspaper with concern, silently vowing to kill Luffy if anything happened to the two sisters.

In Shimotsuki Village, Kuina's father was reading the newspaper alongside his students, who were crowded around him with a copy of the paper.

"Master! How will Zoro and Kuina face another war?"

"This seems incredible. How strong are they now, I wonder?"

"..."

While the students chatted about the news, Koushirou, the master and Kuina's father, kept a serene expression, contemplating how they would overcome the next challenge, which could be even worse than Marineford. After all, he didn't need to worry too much. It had been over a year and three months since the war of the best took place. If Kuina had improved so much by Marineford after just six months sailing with her crew before that war, how could he even imagine what she had become now?

In Loguetown, the new mayor also anticipated seeing great achievements from Monkey D. Luffy, while making comments that only he fully understood. In a year, Loguetown had become a maritime power. Despite the rise of other kingdoms like Syrup and Cocoyasi, trade continued to thrive. As the closest island to Reverse Mountain, it attracted people from all the Blues. Moreover, Luffy's old friend had greatly improved the city's infrastructure, even creating a parallel army to the Navy. Since the Navy couldn't be removed from Loguetown entirely, this new force was established to serve the city's interests rather than blindly following the World Government's orders.

As East Blue's inhabitants discussed the upcoming war, some people in Paradise were also carefully watching the news, including, without a doubt, King Cobra.

"I want to see my grandson!" he exclaimed in the middle of the throne room, while everyone tried to calm him down.

"My king… we cannot leave the country. We're already skipping the world summit. Lord Luffy requested that we stay in the kingdom," Pell, his chief guard, tried to reason with him.

"But I must go to the New World! Don't you understand? He's the future king of Alabasta! King Sinbad! He sounds incredible!" Cobra began speaking with the pride and joy of knowing his lineage would continue, and that the throne would one day pass to his grandson—at least, he hoped so.

He hadn't seen any pictures of him this year, despite asking Vivi repeatedly. Due to a lack of communication, only Pell could describe the boy to the king after returning from training with Luffy in Skypiea, alongside Baroque Works and members of various other kingdoms.

This was the first time Cobra saw his grandson in the newspaper, among an article describing all of Luffy's children. He desperately wanted to see his grandson as soon as possible but understood he would have to wait until, as Luffy said, a base was established in the New World.

People in Paradise were also discussing the war. While Luffy's territories cheered for him, other islands feared how the conflict might affect them.

Kings from all Blues continued departing their kingdoms and being escorted to Mary Geoise. The New World wasn't much different. Like Alabasta, Dressrosa and Prodence also refused the World Government's summons and had ceased communication, even as the Government and Navy attempted to reach them.

Meanwhile, Blackbeard was reading the newspaper, a sinister grin forming on his face on his island. He began summoning his entire crew and contacting those battling the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Meanwhile, Ace received a call from Sabo that same day, saying he was leaving Dressrosa and sharing how his meeting with Luffy and Lucy had gone over the past month.

"You received a fruit from him, that's certainly good!" Ace was happy that Sabo had also gained a mythical beast.

"Yes... now I'm heading somewhere else while they've set off for the war," Sabo commented.

"Yes... I wish I could be with them; after all, I have some acquaintances in Wano..." Ace murmured, but he couldn't abandon his responsibilities here, being attacked by the Blackbeard Pirates all the time.

"I understand that you can't abandon this territory, and Luffy knows that too. Don't worry; Luffy will appear in the newspaper as someone victorious," Sabo said confidently.

"I think you're right..." Ace said finally as they continued talking about other things.

Meanwhile, in Wano, the newspaper had finally arrived in Onigashima. Kaido's men quickly approached, entering the main hall that morning, bringing the newspaper in their hands as they showed it to their leader, who was drinking beside Big Mom. She, in turn, was eating sweets, constantly served by her toy soldiers.

"Lord Kaido!!!" they announced their presence with an urgent tone.

"What is it?" Kaido asked grumpily, having just woken up and being interrupted as he tried to cure his hangover by drinking more.

Meanwhile, his crew was by his side, watching calmly. Big Mom's crew was on the other side, equally attentive.

"The Straw Hats... They're going to attack us soon! They announced it in the newspaper!" said the man from the Beast Pirates, handing over the newspaper.

Kaido stopped drinking immediately, and even Big Mom halted her meal, surprised. "Let me see that," Kaido ordered quickly.

The man placed the newspaper in front of him and ran off, unable to withstand the oppressive atmosphere with two Yonko.

"So the brat is finally coming? I thought he wouldn't come anymore! I'll capture Yamato and his granddaughter as soon as he shows up!" Kaido declared, laughing with a mix of fury and satisfaction.

"Mamamama! Your soul will be mine!" Big Mom stated with a sinister tone, while everyone around seemed confident now, with the two Yonko united against the crew.

King, Jack, and Queen stood motionless beside Kaido, analyzing the situation. It was then that Ulti, near anger, commented, "I hope Page One is still alive. Otherwise, I'll blow the head off that raptor brother!" she exclaimed with hatred.

Ulti was clearly worried about her brother, who had been in the hands of enemy pirates for over a year, wondering how much he had been tortured, not imagining that now, Page-One worked for Luffy as a dinosaur captain.

"Finally, we're going to fight... I was getting bored," said Smoothie, looking at Katakuri.

"Yes, the time has come. We'll finally get our revenge, right, Cracker?" Katakuri commented.

Cracker nodded slightly. He seemed nervous; he knew well the capabilities of that crew and knew more than his siblings what the Straw Hats could do. Despite having so many powerful people in that room, he still had doubts. After so much time, things might have become much more difficult to handle.

While everyone looked at the newspaper, Kaido gave his orders to some men. "Very well. Let's prepare Wano for war. I want all ships stationed at every edge of the country to intercept the Straw Hats. I also want the productivity of all factories increased in the coming weeks! I don't care how many die in the process. And summon Orochi to come here; it's time to deal with him!"

His men moved quickly to carry out the orders.

Beside Kaido, in addition to the Three Disasters and the Tobiroppo, thousands of Beast Pirates soldiers were already prepared. A number of them were Smile Users, further increasing the army's strength, having the most powerful army among the Yonko. From the Worst Generation, there were X Drake, Scratchmen Apoo, and Basil Hawkins, who had ended up joining in the past year since they entered the New World.

On Big Mom's side stood the Charlotte Family, Homies, and all her captains, many of whom were renowned names from the New World. Among them were Sanji and his family, Germa 66, who had settled in her territory after being defeated by the Straw Hats and escaping with Cracker. From the Worst Generation, she only had Capone Bege, married to Lola's sister. Her supporting force was significantly inferior to Kaido's. Even her strongest, Katakuri, could only be compared to Jack the Drought among Kaido's Disasters.

Nevertheless, Big Mom was someone not to be underestimated, as her strength was only slightly below Kaido's.

Thus, a large-scale operation began in Wano, affecting not just the local sea but also the entire country. The pressure on its people and inhabitants increased more than ever.

Out at sea, Kid was sailing on his ship, glaring at the newspaper with rage. His face, full of scars, and his missing arm bore the marks of the battles he had fought over the past year.

He was frustrated. Despite having achieved a bounty of over 1,000,000 berries, everything he did to match the Straw Hats still seemed insufficient. Looking at the newspaper only fueled his frustration further.

"What are we going to do, Captain?" Killer asked, his expression serious.

"We're going to Wano," Kid replied, determined to prove his position in the New World.

Elsewhere, another towering man was also staring at the newspaper, crushing it in anger.

"He doesn't come looking for me! And now he's going to fight Kaido? So be it! I'll find him there too!" he declared firmly, pushing his small ship toward Wano. Even if he had to fight Kaido and Monkey D. Luffy himself.

Near Elbaf, Shanks was stationed on an island after a banquet, reading the news with a cautious look.

"So, this war is finally going to start."

"Look, Captain! Luffy has 13 giants under his command!" one of his crewmates exclaimed, surprised. "I knew he had two, after securing them for his Paradise campaign… but it seems he's gathered 11 more giants. That's truly impressive."

Shanks gave a faint smile.

"I wonder what will happen from now on."

Lucky Roux, one of his crewmates, grabbed the newspaper while munching on some meat. He flipped through it calmly, scanning for more news until he suddenly froze.

"Something wrong, Roux?" Benn Beckman asked, noticing his unusual behavior.

"Shanks… Uta is in the newspaper," Roux said hesitantly.

"What?" Shanks' tone changed instantly. "What's in the newspaper?"

"Uta… She's in the newspaper," Roux repeated.

The crew fell silent. Uta had never been part of the Straw Hat crew, so Shanks was unaware that she had left the Island of Music. He had not been in contact with the man who frequently asked about her over the past few years.

She hadn't participated in the War of Marineford, and her pregnancy had kept her out of the headlines. However, now, with her child, something new had made the front pages thanks to Luffy's exposure.

Shanks snatched the newspaper from Roux like lightning, reading it rapidly.

"What is this?!"

"She had a child with Luffy… And he's already born," Roux replied amid the silence.

The initial quiet turned into collective shock. Shanks stood frozen for a moment, utterly stunned, before his eyes widened.

"What?!" He immediately pulled the newspaper closer, scanning it frantically to see if there had been a mistake. The entire crew gathered around him, watching what he was analyzing. In the newspaper, there was a photo of Uta holding a baby beside Luffy.

No one knew she had been with Luffy, let alone that she was pregnant with his child.

"How did this happen? How could he do this? That bastard touched my daughter!" Shanks roared, his face contorted with fury as red Haki began emanating from his body. He glanced at the newspaper once again, a third time.

The entire crew remained silent until, in the distance, a furious scream echoed from the island they were on. Red lightning shot into the sky, turning it dark, reflecting Shanks' overwhelming rage and shock.
