And the reason why Morgans took up this matter himself is also very simple. Although there are brave men who will come forward when a high reward is offered, making money is risky. Live broadcasting this battle can indeed bring huge profits, and gaining fame in the news world is not impossible.
But it’s too dangerous, and no one dares to do such a terrifying thing. So, in the end, Morgans decided to go do the live broadcast himself.
In the end, Morgans made a mutually beneficial deal with the Beasts Pirates, exchanging some information for a seat as a war correspondent.
Although it seems Morgans is the one in the Underworld who doesn’t make money, in fact, he controls a lot of secret information. For a news agency, timeliness is very important.
Moreover, the World Government will also arrange for him to regularly disclose some information, and this information can even affect the rise and fall of an industry, like the news of the Amber Lead.
“Zeraora, you go alone and bring that guy over. Be careful, don’t let him die.”
The battle will happen soon, and they don’t have time to wait for Morgans. Otherwise, by the time he arrived, even Whitebeard would have reached the meeting place. In an arranged battle, being late is not a good behavior.
“Lord Arceus, don’t you need to call them back?”
The only exception among the Mythical Pokémon, Zeraora wouldn’t publicly address Arceus as ‘My lord’, which is a special status for him and his privilege as the eldest son.
The people he was mentioning were his “brothers and sisters”. They were wandering around the seas and can return to Wano Country.
“No need, they are not needed here. Besides, there is also Queen’s reputation to consider; after all, he is also the ‘Plague Calamity’.”
As one of the All-Stars staying behind, Queen guarding the island is not an issue. Moreover, the sea is not only inhabited by Mythical Pokémon. Although there are not many species now, the number has become increasingly abundant.
“Understood.”
Then Zeraora was the first to leave, flying away towards the direction where Morgans was at the moment. Although after doing some big things, Morgans would take the headquarters of the World Economy News Paper and run away, he would reappear in public after the situation had calmed down.
As Zeraora left first, Kaido also led his people to the destination. The location of their arranged battle was on the edge of the Calm Belt, with some distance from each other’s territory, and the aftermath of the battle also had to be considered.
…
After some time, the disheveled Morgans was brought to the Beasts Pirates’ ship. Even though he is a user of the Albatross Devil Fruit, Morgans couldn’t fly, and since they were in a hurry, they couldn’t afford to travel slowly by ship either, so Morgans was carried over by Zeraora.
Even though the flying speed was within his tolerance, his feathers were blown into a mess. But thanks to Zeraora, Morgans also experienced the feeling of flying.
“Stop!”
When there was still a considerable distance from the destination, Kaido ordered the two ships to stop.
“Boss Kaido, the destination is still far away.”
“I know, but we’re almost there. If we get closer, you won’t be able to withstand the aftermath of the battle.”
On the sea, Whitebeard’s abilities could easily create a tsunami. If they continued to approach, the safety of the ships would become a problem. Tsunami wouldn’t discriminate whose ships they were, so Kaido didn’t intend to let them go any further.
“Mr. Kaido, you don’t need to worry about this. Lord Sacred Beast has already made preparations.”
Saying this, Shayna patted the heads of two Lapras beside her. This was the means to defend their ships against the tsunami.
“Worororo, he’s indeed fully prepared. But this place should be good enough. Shayna, you and Olga stay here. King, you and Zeraora come with me.”
“Yes.”
Soon after, Kaido transformed into an azure dragon and soared into the sky, closely followed by King ascending into the air. On another ship, having received the news, Zeraora also took flight with Morgans. Meanwhile, Yamato stood atop her Genesect, following suit.
Although this Genesect was a mini-version, it served perfectly well as a flying tool.
Meanwhile, the Moby Dick halted in the nearby waters. Compared to Kaido’s ship, it remained even further away.
“Pops, are we stopping here?”
“Going further ahead would be dangerous. Alright, my sons, wait for me here!”
Saying that, Whitebeard leaped off the ship’s side. Unlike Kaido, although the Quake-Quake Fruit bestowed immense destructive power, it didn’t grant any ability to fly. So Whitebeard’s choice was to run, propelling himself towards the target island akin to Geppo.
Though Geppo was a special body technique of the World Government and Marines, it was merely an exploitation of physical limits. For someone at Whitebeard’s level, even without knowing similar techniques, a few observations were enough to achieve the same results through sheer explosive force.
The air almost became Whitebeard’s foothold, while Marco flapped his flaming wings to keep pace with Whitebeard’s pace. As flying Devil Fruit users in the Whitebeard Pirates were rare, apart from him, only Namur jumped into the water and followed along.
Though unable to fly, the Fish-Men’s ability to move underwater is quite useful.
While Whitebeard’s mode of transportation couldn’t sustain prolonged flight, it sufficed for the short journey.
In the end, Kaido, who could fly, arrived at the island first. The island appeared barren, nothing but rocks in sight, perfectly suiting his needs.
“Yamato.”
“Yes?”
“Watch closely. Soon, you’ll understand why I said everything you’ve experienced so far was mere child’s play.”
Saying that, Kaido landed on the island first. Yamato and others remained airborne above the island. Whitebeard didn’t keep them waiting long. A few minutes later, Zeraora and King turned their gaze into the distance one after another. Even Yamato had sensed something.
It was an aura that couldn’t be concealed at all, causing the feathers on Morgans to stand up. Though he couldn’t see anything, fear had already spread to his heart.
His fingers trembled as he excitedly removed the cover from the camera.
“Big News! The world’s top showdown is definitely a rare big news!”
Soon after, a figure appeared in everyone’s sight. Even in his prime, Whitebeard was faster than Marco by a hair’s breadth. The cold gleam on Murakumogiri needed no concealment as it swiftly arrived on the island alongside Whitebeard.
“Kaido, you brat, you’re here early!”
Murakumogiri carved a crescent moon in the sky, heading straight for Kaido’s face. Though Kaido didn’t seem to have any guard, he had long entered his combat state. Amidst his crazy laughter, Hassaikai clashed with Murakumogiri in a fresh round of confrontation.
