Chapter's Events:
—————————
{Sabaody Archipelago}
"What happened to the picture!!?"
"Show us Marineford!!"
After the last broadcast screen disappeared, the viewers felt extremely frustrated.
"It seems like they're having trouble with the broadcast den den mushis over there… there's nothing we can do…!!" One Marine explained to the angry crowd.
"Is it true that the marines and Whitebeard are fighting it out!?"
"Did Whitebeard sell out his comrades!?"
"Show us something!!!"
"This is crap… Marines…"
The voices of the dissatisfied people in the crowd rose.
But the Marines here couldn't do anything to appease them.
[That's right, Headquarters…!! There's no hope of restoring the picture…]
"What's happening to the world!!?"
"Is that the end of the show…?"
Among the spectators, this time the spotlight fell on one of the Supernovas, Eustass Kidd.
"We finally got back to the ship to see this 'war', and they've got den den mushi trouble!?"
"That's obviously a lie."
At this moment, the captain of this pirate crew spoke up.
"Eh? Really!?"
"You guys are idiots… They're not showing it because there's something going on they don't want us to see… Not the world or us pirates…!!" One of the Supernovas, Scratchmen Apoo, explained.
…
"…"
Seeing the dark broadcast screens, X Drake turned away and left.
…
"Whitebeard sold out his comrades!?"
"That's ridiculous!!"
"He's a living legend because he doesn't do crap like that!!!" Capone Bege scoffed at what he just heard.
…
"Let's go…"
Urouge turned away after seeing this farce and ordered his followers to leave.
…
"The probability that Whitebeard Pirates survive…"
Elsewhere, Basil Hawkins calculated the survival rate of Whitebeard Pirates using his magical cards.
…
"Captain Bonney…!!"
At this moment, Bonney's crew felt worried about her as she was crying for an unknown reason.
"Shut up!! Leave me alone!!" she said.
…
"Set sail, Bepo!!"
Meanwhile, the Heart Pirates arrived at their submarine where Trafalgar Law calmly ordered.
"Aye Aye, Captain! Let's go, Jean Bart!!"

South Blue, on an island not far from the renowned Karate Island known for its art store.
A man with red hair looked at his little son, who was crawling happily around the house; his son was just one year old.
"What's wrong, dear? Why did you suddenly stop narrating the events?"
His wife spoke from the kitchen as the husband fell silent abruptly.
"He appeared again in the manga..."
The husband said with a complex expression, glancing between the manga page and his son who was happily playing, unaware of his surroundings.
The little boy with short, spiky red hair was playing with a robot toy, he resembling a one-year-old version of Eustass Kidd.
"Who is...!?" The worried voice of the wife came.
She left everything in her hands and went back to where her husband was sitting, took another manga volume, and quickly flipped through it.
The previous scenes reflected in her eyes, including the reappearance of the Supernovas again in Sabaody Archipelago.
"It's Kidd..."
"It seems like he survived the clash with the Admiral and the Pacifistas safely..."
The wife felt some relief seeing Eustass Kidd well again after the Sabaody arc.
Both the husband and wife looked at their son, whose name was also Kidd... considering that his father's nickname was Eustass, this meant that the child's full name was Eustass Kidd.
A member of the Supernovas, and potentially the most sinister and violent one in the future!
Since his first appearance, they already knew that their child had a frightening counterpart in the future.
"Will this child grow up to become what he is destined to be?" The husband said with a look of frustration; he didn't want his son to become a pirate.
…
Grand Line, Jaya Island:
"Here you are again, Apoo!"
Inside the renowned art store on Jaya Island in the Grand Line, a long-arm tribe member was enjoying reading the Summit War volume with his son.
His son was Apoo, seven years old.
Stars shone in Apoo's eyes as he saw his amazing counterpart again in the manga after a long absence.
"Hmm, what a wise Scratchmen Apoo, just as expected from my son~" Pride gleamed on Apoo's father's face at this moment.
"He can know that the Marines are lying about the broadcast interruption because they don't want the world to see what they'll do next..."
"This is wonderful; no doubt your counterpart will become a great pirate in the New World, my son!"
"Really, Oyaji? Apapappapa~" Little Apoo was overjoyed; nothing was more enjoyable than his father's praise, the feeling of accomplishment due to his future counterpart was incomparable.
"That's right, my boy! Be like your counterpart and let us rule this sea someday!" Ignoring the strange looks from people inside the art store, Apoo's father continued to motivate his son.
…
North Blue, on Minion Island.
Once again in the bar belonging to the Barrels pirates, Diez Barrels was drinking sake and enjoying the thrilling events of the Summit War.
The punches of Whitebeard that could destroy the sky and earth gave this war an apocalyptic feel. However, seeing huge magma fists descending from the sky added an even more apocalyptic touch, causing Barrels' throat to dry up, making him drink more sake.
But at that moment, when the Supernovas began to reappear, his eyes lit up with clarity, the same for his crew of pirates and scallywags.
The moment X Drake reappeared, cheers and whistles resonated in the bar.
"Oh~ our hero is back again~"
"Our Dory doesn't seem pleased either because of the broadcast interruption, Shahaha!"
"It's impossible for him to be pleased! If I were him, I'd turn into a dinosaur form and snack on the crowd to vent my anger and frustration! Hahaha!"
"Madman! You're insane! Luckily, you're not a Supernova, although I'll do the same thing, Hahaha!"
Dory, or X Drake in the future, looked at his silent counterpart in the manga, smiling internally.
'He survived Admiral Kizaru's attack, that's good.'
"Of course, he'll be fine. The Admiral doesn't kill even his enemies, let alone his allies~"
Seeing the smile on little Dory or X Drake's face, Barrels understood what his son was thinking. His words seemed strange but had a profound impact on little Dory.
"What do you mean by allies?" he asked.
"Hehe~ Perhaps you'll know in the future... Let's leave that for now; the Summit War is still ongoing, my son," Barrels said with a mysterious smile.
