At the same time, there was another reason for doing this. He does not want to offend either Kaido or Whitebeard too much. His goal of big news had already been achieved, so there was no need to publish the final conclusion.
Compared to the Marines and pirates, he would rather offend the Marines or the World Government.
They have a process for doing things. Some news may dig into their past, but as long as the public reaction is strong enough, he is safe.
But pirates are different. If he really angered them, they don’t follow any rules. Public opinion doesn’t restrict them, and they would truly risk everything to strike back at him.
Some people hate Kaido and Whitebeard to the point of wishing they would disappear from the world while others are their fervent fans. If he were to publish the conclusion, he might be blocked the next day.
An open-ended conclusion is different. Letting those two groups argue with each other is enough. To get enough information, people have to buy his newspaper’s next issue, indirectly boosting its sales.
After roughly finalizing the layout of the newspaper, Morgans relaxed slightly.
“I’m going to rest for a while. Inform me of any news by this time tomorrow.”
With that, he entered the rest area of the newspaper office. Since they often changed the layout in the middle of the night, all branches of the World Economy News Paper had such a rest area. Staying up late or all night was routine for them.
A few hours later, News Coo took off from various locations with the newspapers, and the news about the huge decisive battle finally had a conclusion.
“Things are about to change…”
In the Human Auctioning House at Sabaody Archipelago, a person wearing a Bomb Collar looked at the newspaper in his hand and heaved a sigh. It was placed here by a guard, and he casually took it to have a look.
The photo in the newspaper was taken by Morgans when the sky had collapsed, and the falling clouds seemed to form a ladder to heaven for the new era powerhouses.
“Roger, is this the era you wanted to see…”
This special “slave” was none other than Rayleigh. Unlike others who were being auctioned here because they were kidnapped, he was different. He sold himself here just because he needed some pocket money.
The consumption level at Sabaody Archipelago was not low. After retiring, since he hadn’t accumulated much treasure, and relying solely on wages from coating wasn’t enough, every once in a while, he would sell himself here and then rob the people who bought him.
He knew the strength of young Kaido and Whitebeard, so he found it hard to believe that Kaido could fight at Whitebeard’s level.
“Hey! Who let you touch my stuff!”
At this moment, the guard who had left returned. Seeing Rayleigh take his newspaper, he looked displeased and was about to whip him.
But in the next moment, his eyes rolled back and he fainted, then Rayleigh took off the collar from his neck and put it on his neck.
“Sorry, but I’ve changed my mind about being sold.”
…….
Amazon Lily.
Thanks to their relationship with the Beasts Pirates, News Coo now makes a special trip here, significantly easing the flow of information for Amazon Lily with the outside world.
“Elder Nyo, look, Mr. Kaido actually defeated that Whitebeard. How about we just move the Kuja over there? Such powerful pirates can better protect us.”
Although the plan to move the Kuja had been temporarily suspended, Hancock had not given up on this idea. For instance, she again brought it up now.
Of course, Gloriosa strongly opposed it. The current situation was the best for the Kuja. Marines wouldn’t attack them, and the pirates of the first half were not their match. She naturally didn’t want to rashly change the status quo.
“Hancock, the newspaper only mentions a big battle, not the outcome, and the World Government is…”
However, amidst her lecture, Hancock’s expression became increasingly impatient, and in the end, she grabbed Gloriosa by the collar and threw her out.

West Blue, a slightly overweight figure tightly gripped the newspaper in hand, and finally tore it apart in anger.
“Kaido… Kaido… You, just wait. I will use the strongest zombies to kill you!”
This was Moria, who had already accepted Shichibukai’s invitation but was still looking for the corpses in West Blue. Seeing that Kaido was increasingly getting powerful, he was feeling incredibly conflicted, and now he encountered a new problem.
To create zombies, he needed corpses. The stronger the corpses and shadows, the stronger the zombies he could create. However, powerful corpses mostly appeared on battlefields, and most of these corpses were incomplete.
To have these corpses become effective, he needed an outstanding surgeon who could completely restore these corpses. For this reason, he began to search for the best suitable subordinates.

East Blue, Gray Terminal. Sabo and Ace picked up a newspaper used by the town residents to wrap food.
“Beasts Pirate’s Kaido and Whitebeard Pirates’ Edward Newgate battled for five days and five nights, destroying an island and triggering tsunamis affecting several nearby islands…”
This time, Morgans didn’t even use exaggerated embellishments. The real effect of the battle between Kaido and Whitebeard was shocking enough, and fabricating things would instead have the opposite effect.
“Ace, is this the enemy we’ll face in the future?”
“What’s there to fear? Sooner or later, we’ll be stronger than them, whether it’s Whitebeard Pirates or the Beasts Pirates, we’ll definitely defeat them!”
After the two of them encouraged each other, they continued working hard to gather enough money for their pirate ship.

New World, on the Moby Dick ship. Although Morgans didn’t give an exact statement, the report didn’t satisfy many people, and after a cursory glance, they angrily threw the newspaper away.
“Teach! Stop looking at that trash. We’re almost there; this time, we must show them the might of the Whitebeard Pirates!”
“Oh, coming right away.”
The seemingly honest-looking man put down the newspaper in his hand, but the plan in his heart had slightly changed.
“Pops… You’re getting old, huh?”
“Teach!”
“Coming, coming!”

On the Beasts Pirates’ main ship, something strange was also happening. Although they hadn’t returned to Onigashima yet, their celebration had already begun early.
Yamato came to Kaido with a jug of strong liquor and, like everyone else, raised a toast to Kaido.
“Father, you were amazing.”
“Worororo, of course. Yamato, you must continue to work hard. This is your goal, and for this goal, when we return, practice even harder, okay?!”
Upon hearing this, Yamato almost slipped, then she thought for a moment and directly picked up the nearby jar of alcohol.
Kaido’s current state was completely different from where she hoped he would rest for ten days or half a month. Since that was the case, she could only settle for the second best, hoping Kaido would drink more and be drunk for half a month.
