Three days passed in the blink of an eye, but a series of explosive headlines shook the world like bombs.
The "Impenetrable Fortress," the world's greatest underwater prison, Impel Down, which had never been successfully breached, was invaded by the Fallen Angel Pirates.
Tens of thousands of prisoners, thousands of guards, and even nearby Marines were reportedly slaughtered without mercy.
The news sent shockwaves across the world, igniting a frenzy of discussion.
"Wait, is this real?"
"The mastermind behind Hell Trading Company is actually Fallen Angel El?"
"Unbelievable! They killed all the prisoners and stole their souls?"
"This is terrifying! The Soul-Soul Fruit… And to think they possess 15 Devil Fruit abilities! It's horrifying!"
"Tens of thousands of prisoners, nearly 10,000 guards, and Marines—all slaughtered? It's insane!"
"They've already killed and kidnapped Celestial Dragons, attacked Marine fortresses, and now they've destroyed one of the World Government's Three Great Institutions. They're trampling on the Government's pride."
"To dare challenge the World Government again and again… Truly the most dangerous criminal in history!"
No one could have imagined that the Fallen Angel Pirates, already infamous for attacking two large Marine fortresses, killing and kidnapping Celestial Dragons, and even beheading a Marine Admiral, could escalate their crimes further.
Even after the World Government declared that all kidnapped Celestial Dragons had been rescued, issued massive bounties for the Fallen Angel Pirates, and began a systematic purge of Hell Trading Company associates, the pirates refused to lay low.
Instead, they carried out an even more audacious act.
The attack on Impel Down, the world's most secure and infamous prison, left people across the seas stunned.
When the World Government revealed that the Fallen Angel Pirates had slaughtered the prisoners to harvest their souls for creating Homies, many were left shivering in fear.
"This is terrifying! Their leader can create an army of living beings using stolen souls. Who can stop them now?"
"If they really killed everyone in Impel Down, their power might now be completely unrivaled."
"It's as if they're preparing for a full-scale war against the entire world!"
For countless people across the seas, the name 'Fallen Angel El' now evoked a mix of terror, awe, and disbelief.
…
Meanwhile, in the New World, on a certain sea…
A pirate ship flying the flag of the Roger Pirates sailed calmly through the waters.
"What an outrageous guy…"
"He's caused another massive uproar."
"Lunarian, Three-Eye Tribe, Fish-men, Mink Tribe, Longleg Tribe, Longarm Tribe, Giants, Ancient Giants…"
"Tsk, tsk, it's like his crew covers every special race!"
"Fallen Angel El really is a terrifying monster."
"But the World Government and the Navy won't let this slide."
The crew of the Roger Pirates gathered, poring over newspapers and bounty posters freshly delivered by the News Coo.
"In just a few days? The Fallen Angel Pirates caused all this chaos?"
Roger, the future Pirate King himself, grinned widely as he leaned back.
"Heh, no doubt about it. The Grand Line's balance is about to get 'very' interesting!"
"According to the World Government, the Fallen Angel Pirates stole the souls of prisoners and Marines to create 'Homies' using the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit…"
Silvers Rayleigh, the crew's first mate, examined the article carefully, nodding in agreement.
"With such a powerful force at their disposal, they definitely won't stay quiet. And the revelation that the Hell Trading Company is their front… their financial resources must be staggering. This is a group with long-laid plans and boundless ambition."
Rayleigh's expression turned serious.
"They're bound to become the Navy's greatest headache in centuries."
"I hope they don't become enemies… That would be a real pain," muttered Scopper Gaban, waving a thick stack of bounty posters.
"A seventeen-year-old being named the most dangerous criminal in the world… That's one terrifying monster!"
…
Elsewhere, in the second half of the New World…
On an island controlled by the Rocks Pirates, the crew gathered in their stronghold.
"Hurrah-hurrah-hurrah! These guys never stop causing trouble, huh?"
Sitting boldly in the main seat was Rocks D. Xebec, the notorious captain of the Rocks Pirates. He roared with laughter.
"They raided Impel Down and 'killed every prisoner!' But they didn't take them all or try to recruit them? What a waste! That's just plain stupid!"
He sneered, shaking his head.
"No matter how strong those Homies are, they can't compare to the original souls. That was tens of thousands of potential fighters!"
However, Rocks' eyes glinted with fiery ambition.
"Still, I refuse to believe that Fallen Angel El didn't take a few of the strongest monsters with him from that prison."
A twisted grin spread across Rocks' face as he leaned forward.
"But you know… I've been thinking of something bold."
His voice turned menacingly determined.
"If we can 'team up' with the Fallen Angel Pirates, with our combined strength, we could 'rule the world!'"
Rocks slammed his fist down on the table.
"Send someone to contact the Fallen Angel Pirates. Tell them Rocks D. Xebec wants to meet Fallen Angel El!"
A senior officer of the Rocks Pirates stepped forward with a troubled expression.
"Captain Rocks, as of now, not even the World Government knows where Fallen Angel El is."
"However, we've heard rumors about the Altona Sea. The islands there are said to be secretly controlled by the Hell Trading Company."
The officer continued cautiously.
"When the Navy tried to launch an attack on those islands, the so-called hired guards of the Hell Trading Company, including 'Executioner' Hajrudin and 'Iron Shield' Witt, clashed with them. It's been revealed that these giants are actually members of the Fallen Angel Pirates. The World Government has now issued bounties for them."
"I see. That brat got lucky. His ties to Elbaf landed him a solid number of giant warriors," Rocks said with a raised brow, his tone mixed with envy and calculation.
He glanced at several bounty posters on the table, his expression sharpening.
"'Executioner' Hajrudin, 'Iron Shield' Bask Witt, and 'Colossal Battleship' Sanjuan Wolf... All of these giant warriors are Devil Fruit users? That must be the work of the Fallen Angel Pirates."
Rocks erupted into laughter again.
"Hurrah-hurrah-hurrah! It makes me jealous!"
