Most of the pirates looked at Vermillion and his team with smiles. Only one Pirate looked at them with a horrified face, especially when looking at Vermillion. Cold sweat immediately poured down his face.
His body was trembling, and his face looked completely frightened, a stark contrast to his comrades who wanted to challenge that person.
"C-Captain..." The Pirate stared at his Captain groggily, almost crying.
"D-don't provoke them... let's... let's go to another place."
"What's wrong, Sith? Are you afraid of them?"
"Haha, Sith, come on, don't be such a coward."
Seeing Sith's frightened face, his comrades immediately burst into laughter.
"Sith, as a pirate, you don't need to fear anyone. Even if we run into Marines, we must fight back!"
The 3.5 meters tall, burly Captain said. In front of him, Borsalino was much smaller. Therefore he was very confident.
"Captain, h-here, please read this newspaper." Sith wanted to cry.
"Okay?"
The Captain immediately took the newspaper with the bounty sheets handed over by his men. When he saw the bounty list, his eyes immediately widened.
"Captain Drake, sixty million Belly?!"
"Emiya, fifty million Belly?!"
"Nani!"
The big Captain was immediately frightened; even swallowing his saliva was very difficult. After reading the Bounty, he immediately glanced at Drake and Emiya in a cold sweat.
Turning the sheet once more, there were clearly visible photos of a young man and an old man. This news was even scarier than the two Bounties he had seen before!
The newspaper's title is; [Vice Admiral Garp is defeated by a rookie Pirate!]
If you just read the title, people won't really care and think it's a lie. But the photo clearly illustrates Garp's defeat! Garp, who was vomiting blood, stared at the young man who was fighting him.
***
At Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral Sengoku's office.
*Boom!*
Sengoku slapped his desk hard after reading the newspaper featuring Garp's defeat!
"Damn Morgans, how did he get these pictures and news?" Sengoku, who wants to hoard this big news, can no longer do it because the News Coo has spread it all over the world!
"Didn't I say before? Morgans must be stopped." Sakazuki said in a fierce tone.
"Morgans has released a lot of unkind news about our Navy. If need be, we can throw him into Impel Down."
"Morgans' influence in the underworld is too great. If we attack him unexpectedly, then our Marines will also suffer heavy losses." Sengoku shook his head.
"About the news..." Sengoku looked at the newspaper on the table. "As long as Garp and Kizaru catch Drake's Pirates, this news won't be a problem."
"Just now, I received the news. It seems that Vermillion is anchored in Loguetown along with his partners, and the masked man is also there."
"Oh? Has Kizaru met Garp?" Akainu said, straightening his hat.
"Yes, I just called Garp. Kizaru has been following him since he arrived on his ship. Besides, Kizaru has been investigated, it is unlikely that he is part of Drake's Pirates."
Taking the newspaper, Sengoku continued. "Now Garp's ship is almost at Loguetown. I have ordered Garp and Kizaru to hunt down Vermillion and his group."
"Once they are caught, the negative impact of this news will immediately subside."
"Good news. Since Kizaru isn't a member of the pirates, then with Vice Admiral Garp's and his combined strength, it shouldn't be a problem to catch Drake's Pirates." Sakazuki nodded.

"Hey~ There's a pirate that looks like me?" Kizaru looked at Garp in surprise. "So are you guys starting to doubt me?"
"Please understand the situation Kizaru, hahaha!" Garp patted Kizaru apologetically.
"When we land in Loguetown, you will see for yourself, and we need to catch them."
"Since you said so, I became very interested." Kizaru rubbed his chin with a strange smile.
"People like them should be sent to Impel Down."
"Besides, I don't want my rare vacation to be ruined because someone looks exactly like me." Kizaru frowned.
