The war was over. Seventy thousand people participated, and 99.8% perished. Less than a hundred survived.
This was destined to be a major event that would shake the entire world.
And indeed, after the news spread, the whole world was shocked and thrown into a frenzy.
Such news was simply too astonishing. It was utterly astounding, horrifying, unbelievable, and shockingly hard to believe.
"This...how is this possible? The news is fake, right?!"
Many people didn't believe it.
How could such a thing happen? Those were the three strongest pirate crews in the New World, plus almost half of the Marines, totaling around 70,000 people on both sides.
For such a force to be reduced to less than 100 survivors in a single war was simply too outrageous, utterly impossible!
"Fake, it must be fake!"
"I don't believe such a thing would happen. Those are the Whitebeard Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, and the Big Mom Pirates! Plus the Marines! Even if they fought to the death, they couldn't possibly fight until there were less than 100 people left."
"Exactly! No one's stupid. How could a war reach such an extent?"
"This is obviously fake news. Anyone who believes this kind of news must be a fool."
"Debunked, debunked, this news is fake!"
Disbelief,
Disbelief,
Disbelief.
Too many people expressed disbelief in this news, thinking it was just a joke.
However, as more and more news reports emerged, each one claiming it to be true, people's hearts began to waver.
They started to actively seek out the truth of the matter.
Then, they were horrified, shocked, and dumbfounded.
And when the Marine wanted posters came out, people finally knew that this was real.
It was actually all true!
The three strongest pirate crews in the New World, along with the powerful Marines, were ambushed by the Ninja Pirate Crew in a war, with over 99.8% of them killed!
And the one who orchestrated all of this was a woman from the Ninja Pirate Crew, a woman named Konan, who called herself God's Guardian Angel.
This woman, having just appeared on the sea, gained a bounty of 5.8 billion Berries from this single war!
Fallen Angel Konan, a member of the Ninja Pirate Crew, position unknown, bounty: 5.8 Billion Berries!
This bounty was even higher than that of Roger, the Pirate King.
Pirate King Roger's bounty was only 5,564,800,000 Berries, while Fallen Angel Konan's bounty was 5.8 Billion!
She had just debuted and directly landed at the top of the bounty list!
Except for that God whose bounty was actively revoked by the World Government and the Marines, Konan's bounty was now the highest.
"Th-th-this!"
"I can't believe it's actually true!"
"So many people died in one battle. The three major pirate crews were almost wiped out, and the Marines almost suffered a devastating blow."
"The Ninja Pirate Crew is truly terrifying, to be able to do such a thing..."
"Fallen Angel Konan, what kind of person is she to be able to do something so terrifying?"
"Now, the entire landscape of the New World is going to change. With the three most powerful pirate crews annihilated, the territories they previously occupied will definitely be divided up."
"Not just the New World, but the Four Blues as well. The Four Blues were almost completely occupied by the Marines before, but now, the pirates in the Four Blues are bound to counterattack, and the world will fall into chaos."
"I don't know if this is good or bad... It should be a bad thing, right? After all, this way, peace is even further away from us."
People were talking about it everywhere. This news had brought too great a shock, shaking the entire world.
And just as people thought, the near annihilation of the three major pirate crews plunged the New World into chaotic warfare.
Countless pirate crews that had been suppressed by the three major crews before, entered their territories, starting to divide up the spoils.
And in this process, there were bound to be huge conflicts of interest. Once there were conflicts, war was inevitable.
And it wasn't just the New World, but the Four Blues as well.
Previously, the Marines had been stationed in the Four Blues, purging the major pirates and gradually bringing peace and relative tranquility to the seas.
But this incident dealt a near-devastating blow to the Marine forces in the Four Blues.
Having lost the strong suppression of the Marines, the pirates in the Four Blues began to counterattack, throwing the Four Blues back into chaos.
In this chaos, an organization called the Revolutionary Army rapidly rose to prominence, conquering countries and occupying cities one after another.
In just one month, the Revolutionary Army had over 100,000 members and occupied the entire East Blue.
On the other side, the Ninja Pirate Crew was also rapidly expanding, quickly conquering territories in the New World.
Because of their reputation from that battle, and the arrival of the Outstanding Youths from the Sage Shinobi Nation, the Ninja Pirate Crew was unstoppable in the New World, eternally invincible, much like the Roger Pirates a few years ago.
This made countless people exclaim, was a second Pirate King about to appear on this sea?!
Of course, some people were dissatisfied and actively challenged the Ninja Pirate Crew.
The outcome could be predicted without saying.
Although some pirate crews wanted to unite and besiege the Ninja Pirate Crew together, the Ninja Pirate Crew was not like the Roger Pirates of the past. The Roger Pirates had followed an elite route, without many subordinates.
The Ninja Pirate Crew, on the other hand, was practically following the path of another World Government.
They frantically recruited members, frantically occupied territories, forming a vast area of influence, and even established their own nation within this area:
The Sage Shinobi Nation.
This stunned everyone; they never expected them to do this.
Such actions completely enraged the World Government. Because this was dividing, splitting the territory of the World Government.
But they didn't act immediately, instead forcibly enduring it.
Because they were apprehensive.
Before they figured out the specific relationship between God and the Ninja Pirate Crew, they didn't dare to attack the Ninja Pirate Crew.
And the World Government's reaction further enhanced the Ninja Pirate Crew's reputation. Every day, numerous pirates came to join them, and every day, the Ninja Pirate Crew's territory expanded.
Of course, not every pirate who came to join was elite. There were also many who wanted to take advantage of the Ninja Pirate Crew's power to act tyrannically.
Almost all of these people were dealt with after their behavior was discovered.
However, the Ninja Pirate Crew, with its slogan of "The establishment of the Sage Shinobi Nation is to break this decaying world and rebuild a beautiful and peaceful world," also attracted many outstanding pirates to join.
Two more months passed, and the world became even more chaotic, but this chaos was gradually subsiding.
The World Government, the Sage Shinobi Nation, the Revolutionary Army. These were the three new major powers in the world.
The World Government was undoubtedly the most powerful, but it had lost its absolute dominance.
The Sage Shinobi Nation was currently more focused on pirates, seemingly wanting to restrain the other pirates in the New World, just as the World Government restrained other countries in the world.
The Revolutionary Army, after conquering the East Blue, fell silent. It seemed to be planning its next move.
