Just like in the original story, when Luffy hit Saint Charlos, news of the event spread worldwide within a few days.
Sabaody Archipelago is one of the largest archipelagos in the world. It is located at the last stop of the first half of the Grand Line and is the only way to the New World. This strategic position has earned it the nickname "the centre of the world."
A commotion in the "centre of the world" quickly gains significant exposure.
That's why rebellious individuals who have opened the chosen channel often fight in the Sabaody Archipelago every year. It's a world-class stage where defeating someone with a higher bounty or popularity can quickly boost your own fame.
If a major event happens here, even the World Government and Marine, who have ruled the world for 800 years, cannot cover it up.
The archipelago is full of various factions, and twenty-nine small islands are known as illegal areas where villains operate. Any force capable of supporting spies places them in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Therefore, when the Celestial Dragons, the nominal lords of the Sabaody Archipelago enjoying all privileges, were killed, the major forces that received the news—some of which hated the Celestial Dragons or the World Government and Marine—spread the word in the dark world.
Morgans immediately mobilized his reporters in Sabaody Archipelago to collect information on why the Celestial Dragons were killed and who did it.
Learning that Kahn had been bidding against the Celestial Dragons, who broke the rules and sent guards to arrest Kahn but were killed by him, Morgans, in the form of an albatross, let out an excited birdsong.
What excited him even more was that Kahn didn't flee after killing the Celestial Dragons. Instead, he stayed in Sabaody Archipelago and had a great battle with Sengoku, one of the highest combat powers of Naval Headquarters and the best candidate for the next Marine Fleet Admiral, and Kizaru, one of the three Marine monsters.
In this top-level battle, the background of the "Cross Family" was finally exposed.
It turned out that Cross Kahn didn't form a large ship group but only took his maid group to sea because his maid group was not simple.
In addition to Nico Robin, the "Demon Child" who first followed Cross Kahn, there was also a maid who was the legendary Logia Rumble Rumble Fruit user.
Phantom Beast Azure Dragon vs The Great Buddha; Logia Rumble Fruit vs. Logia Light Fruit.
This was a super duel with top strength and top fruits.
Especially in this battle, natural disasters such as floods, meteorite showers, and tornadoes of three attributes also appeared.
In the end, one of the seventy-nine small islands of the Sabaody Archipelago sank directly.
The Celestial Dragons were killed, Cross Kahn fought Marine Admirals, the legendary Logia Rumble Fruit appeared, and an island was destroyed by a cataclysm.
Each of these news pieces could be a headline for the next day.
If Morgans wanted to make a lot of money, he could report one article a day and earn a fortune.
But Morgans didn't do that.
Compared to small earnings, Morgans wanted to cause a worldwide sensation, letting people see the biggest world-class news since the start of the Great Pirate Era as quickly as possible.
So, Morgans discarded all the next day's news materials and published all the collected quality news in the next day's Newspaper.
When the news birds flew around the world with freshly printed newspapers, the entire Grand Line and the four seas were in an uproar.
"Hey, am I seeing things? Does the newspaper say that a Celestial Dragon was killed?"
"Are you kidding? Who in the world would dare attack a Celestial Dragon? This must be fake news!"
"Wait a minute... This doesn't seem like fake news, but it is a headline from a newspaper with photos."
"Oh my God! A Celestial Dragon was really killed, and the killer is the 'Walking Disaster' Cross Kahn, who became famous twice in the first half of the year."
"Finally, someone dares to attack those pigs! He is indeed the strongest supernova in history!"
"It's unbelievable... so 'gods' can die too?"
"From now on, 'Walking Disaster' Cross Kahn is my idol, my hero!"
"Killing a Celestial Dragon, fighting Marine Admirals in Sabaody Archipelago, sinking an island?"
"The Great Buddha vs Azure Dragon, Logia Light Fruit vs. Logia Rumble Fruit?"
"It's actually the Rumble Fruit? That Logia, which hasn't been seen for many years and was considered a legend, has reappeared in this era?!"
"And the current Logia Rumble Fruit user is Cross Kahn's maid and a peerless beauty at that. Isn't this kid too blessed?!"
"He was born with the same natural destroyer physique as BIG-MOM. At the age of ten, he became a Zoan Dragon Fruit, Phantom Beast, Azure Dragon user. Even his maid is known as the strongest Rumble Fruit user in Logia. She is also a peerless beauty... Cross Kahn, isn't he really the son of the world?"
Today's Newspaper featured nothing but news about the Sabaody Archipelago incident.
First, the death of the world's nobles ignited the emotions of people worldwide, and the more they read, the more shocking the news content became.
Morgans also posted many photos secretly taken by his men.
The headlines featured three mangled bodies captured on camera before the reporter fled, along with a photo of Kahn levitating on the stage.
The second edition showed photos of the great flood and meteor shower, as well as the earthquake that spread throughout the Sabaody Archipelago, causing many ordinary people to fall to the ground.
Finally, as Kahn left, lightning appeared out of thin air, forming a peerless beauty in a black and white maid outfit and the disappearing island, captured in a photo of a huge lake.
After reading today's newspaper, I realized that the entire world was buzzing.
Ordinary people discussed the death of the Celestial Dragons, with many applauding and cheering.
Strong individuals were amazed and focused on the later news.
Especially in the New World, various forces felt a sense of unease.
Kahn escaped from Sengoku Admiral, who opposed Whitebeard in the previous era, and beside him was a Logia Rumble Fruit user comparable to the three Marine monsters.
Such strength and such a combination...
Except for the three overlords, no one could stop the rise of the "Cross Family."
Could the future New World be ruled by four sea emperors?
And if I remember correctly, besides "Demon Child" Nico Robin, Kahn has several maids.
Logia Thunder Fruit user is just one of them.
Could each of the personal maids be extraordinary?
At this moment, all forces dared not underestimate the "Cross Family" any longer.
They thought the former West Blue's largest gangster family was strong from the outside but weak on the inside, supported by Kahn alone.
Unexpectedly, Kahn already had a helper, a legendary Logia Rumble Fruit user.
If the rest of the maids are not simple...
Then the "Cross Family" already has the strongest team.
They just need to start expanding to quickly become one of the major forces in the New World.
Thinking of this, the various forces with good intelligence capabilities immediately dispatched their subordinates to investigate the personal maids around Kahn.
At the same time, Naval Headquarters, the biggest winner in the killing of the Celestial Dragons, issued two new bounty orders. Morgans, who got the bounty orders first, immediately published them in the Newspaper the next day.
["Walking Calamity" Cross Kahn, Zoan Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Phantom Beast, Dragon Form user, bounty: 1.555 billion berries, regardless of life or death.]
["Maid of Thunder" Boa Hancock, Logia Rumble Fruit user, bounty: 592 million berries, regardless of life or death.]
The photo on Kahn's bounty order remained unchanged, and his image from last year is still showing.
Hancock's photo showed her in a black and white maid outfit, surrounded by blue and white arcs, with a beautiful face and dark blue eyes full of arrogance and disdain.
With such an expression and imposing manner, Hancock was more suitable for the title "Queen of Thunder."
But Hancock was just a maid.
Neither Marine nor Morgans, who knew Hancock for the first time, could think of a better title, so they gave her the simple and popular title "Maid of Thunder."
