Chapter 228 - 228 - Ryuen: That’s What the Celestial Dragons Say, What’s It Got to Do with Me... Ethanbaron V. Drum Island, a reporter excitedly sent the interview details to his boss, Morgans. For some reason, he felt like the boss wasn't very happy. Even after receiving such valuable news, Morgans showed no excitement. "Strange, what's up with the boss...?" The reporter hung up the phone, feeling puzzled. ———— New World, Broccoli Island. Even though Morgans had agreed to cooperate with Ryuen, he never expected that Ryuen would have his reporters conduct the interview. This left him feeling a bit frustrated. He had no idea how Ryuen managed to get the Celestial Dragons to answer those kinds of questions, but now that the facts were right in front of him, he had no choice but to accept it. "Somebody, get in here!" Morgans shouted. "Boss!" "Have you decided on the front-page story? Hurry up and tell me what it is!" The head of the newspaper's printing department rushed in. "It's already decided. The content is right here. Print every single word exactly as it is!" Morgans roared. "Yes, sir!" "Boss!" The head of the printing department answered seriously. He grabbed the documents from the table and immediately ran toward the underground printing press. "This time, the World Government will stop at nothing to find me. I have to get out of here..." Morgans started to panic. Just then, a news bird beside him reached out with a wing—almost like a hand—and poked him. "What do you want~~?" Morgans asked impatiently. The news bird kept poking him and pointed toward the window with its other wing. Morgans instantly understood what the bird was trying to say. But then, something clicked in his mind, and he glared at the bird in anger. "You traitor! Even you're turning your back on me? You've been with me the longest!" The news bird looked wronged—it had no choice. The will of the king was not something it could disobey... Morgans ran outside and saw an enormous golden eagle! The news bird communicated with Morgans and told him that the golden eagle was there to help him escape! Morgans felt awful. So he had been under Ryuen's watch this whole time? "Guess I'm officially a wage slave now... I worked so hard to become the boss, and now look at me... Waaaah..." ———— Drum Island. Even though it was already afternoon, Ryuen and his group of five didn't stay on Drum Island any longer. After saying goodbye to Doctorine and Chopper, they left Drum Island immediately, heading back toward Clarkde Island. Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters— Vice Admiral Tsuru had already assigned tasks, and to be extra careful, she even had Akainu return from the New World. For this operation, Garp and Akainu would lead the purge. Along with several Vice Admirals from headquarters, they immediately set off toward the Marine branches that were about to be wiped out. "Sengoku, we've already set up news outlets all over the sea for this." "But we're still Marines, so there are some things we can't publish too bluntly in the newspapers." Vice Admiral Tsuru reported to the Fleet Admiral in his office. "That doesn't matter. The World Government has already made a decision regarding the Dream Exploration Group. Their official status under the World Government has been revoked." "Once tomorrow's papers are published, the World Government will completely cut ties with them and issue a bounty!" Sengoku said in a deep voice. "I still feel like something isn't right... The intelligence team reported that around noon today, Ryuen and several members of the Dream Exploration Group left." Vice Admiral Tsuru frowned. "The matter is already settled. Whatever he's doing won't change anything!" Sengoku said confidently. Even though he sounded certain, Vice Admiral Tsuru couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. It was just her instinct, honed over many years. But they had already done everything they could. Soon, the results would speak for themselves. ~~~~~~~ Night had fallen, and the sky was filled with stars. Ryuen and his group of five finally returned to Clarked Island. After the terrifying experience they had just gone through, Sugar had been clinging tightly to Ryuen the entire way. She only let go once they safely landed on Clarked Island. "You're finally back!" Anya stood on the deck, smiling as she welcomed them. "Anya, I'm starving! What's for dinner tonight?" Daisy ran happily toward Anya. "You'll find out soon! I'll bring it out now." She then turned and went inside, bringing out a feast that had already been prepared. "I'll help too..." Daisy followed her inside. Soon, the table on the deck was filled with delicious dishes, their rich aroma filling the air. There was roasted chicken, grilled skewers, baked fish, fresh vegetable salads, and a colorful fruit platter. A large pot of steaming hot soup sat in the middle, making everyone's mouth water. Ryuen and the others gathered around the table and began to enjoy their feast. ~~~~~~ Broccoli Island. At the World Economic News Agency's printing department, the head of the department had already sent out the materials Morgans provided to printing presses all over. Now, they were working as fast as possible because the newspapers had to be delivered at dawn. This meant the printing had to be finished by midnight. Meanwhile, Morgans was busy directing his people to pack up. He had decided to take Ryuen's advice and escape to the Sky Island! By the time midnight arrived— To ensure the newspapers reached every corner of the sea by morning, flocks of delivery birds were dispatched, starting with those headed to the farthest regions. At the same time, Morgans and his group had nearly finished packing. "There's no choice—we have to run, and we have to do it now! This time, we've really angered all of the Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise... This is terrifying..." Morgans muttered fearfully as he climbed onto a golden eagle. The others didn't hesitate either and quickly scrambled onto the eagle's back. Once everyone was on, the golden eagle spread its wings and took off, soaring toward Sky Island. Over there, thanks to Ryuen and his team, Gan Fall had already prepared housing and an office for Morgans and his people. The next day, before dawn— On every island in the Four Seas and the Grand Line, delivery birds dropped newspapers at every doorstep. Early risers who noticed this unusual event picked up the paper in confusion. "Weird... Today's newspaper is free? I mean, I don't mind saving 50 Berries, but..." The more they read, the more shocked they became. "This is bad!!" "A huge incident! A huge incident!!" At that moment, the entire world was in an uproar. The news was so explosive that it made sense why it was being given out for free! As the sun fully rose— The Five Elders had also gotten hold of the newspaper. They had already dragged Ishii Shirou into the Hall of Authority. When Ishii Shirou finished reading the newspaper they threw at him, his body started trembling uncontrollably. "No, no, no...! I didn't say this! I could never say something like this! This isn't me—" he stammered in terror, trying to explain to the Five Elders. "You bastard!" "The evidence is right in front of you, and you still dare to deny it? Take him away and give him the harshest punishment possible!" Ethanbaron V. Nasujuro roared. "It wasn't me!!" "This isn't real! Elder, this isn't real—" But his desperate pleas were useless. Two armored guards entered, grabbed Ishii Shirou, and swiftly dragged him away. ~~~~~~ Marine Headquarters. Sengoku had already dialed Ryuen's number. "Old man Sengoku, don't pin this on us. The Celestial Dragons said it themselves—our Dream Exploration Team has nothing to do with this." "You think I'm an idiot?" "Yes!" "You brat!" Nami: Hmm~~~ --- You can read 10 Chapters ahead on my pat reon.com/GMadman
