Chapter 558 Big News
...
A few days later.
Marijoa returned to peace, but the once magnificent buildings have now become a dilapidated wasteland.
"Kacha!"
A flag representing the world government floated down from the sky and landed on a beam that had been burned into charcoal on the ground. After a while, the flag was pierced by the unburned charcoal, then completely ignited, and finally turned into ashes and drifted away with the wind.
Pangu City.
In the dark conference room, five old men sat together with grim expressions.
"Your Excellency the Five Elders! The clan leaders of the Celestial Dragons wish to see you."
A servant came in to report.
"Tell them that we don't have time to listen to their complaints right now, so go back and stay put! We'll notify them to come over when we're done with the business."
The bearded Five Elders said in a deep voice.
Even he, who usually had the best temper, sounded very impatient at this moment.
"Douglas Barrett is not from the "D" clan, so why... would he choose to be the enemy of God!"
The blond Five Elders stroked his chin and muttered to himself.
"Humph! As a crew member of Pirate King Roger, it's normal to be affected by the Will of D! But, this damn guy has caused us a lot of trouble this time!!"
The bald Five Elders drew out a half-broken samurai sword and said with a ferocious expression.
"Master Five Elders, this is a report about this incident, please review it!"
The Den Den Mushi on the table spoke, and then a bigger Den Den Mushi next to it began to spit out a newspaper.
"boom!"
Satan Saint picked up the newspaper that was sent to him by the fax machine on the table, which was intended to "reasonably explain" the incident to the world. After just one look, he could not help but slammed the table in anger and cursed.
"What the hell is going on with this photo! Who took it?"
"I should have said it long ago! We need to minimize the impact of this incident! What are you doing? Are you advertising for the vicious criminals?"
In the photo, Barrett is holding his head high and smiling triumphantly, while the background is the holy land of Marijoa which has become a ruin.
"I'm so sorry! Master Five Elders, all the Den Den Mushi at the scene were stunned by the Conqueror's Haki, and this is the only photo that can be seen clearly..."
Den Den Mushi was startled and explained hastily.
"Idiot! Then enlarge the photo and only capture Barrett's head. Don't allow the image of Mary Joa behind him to appear! You can't even do this! You are a bunch of rubbish!"
Saint Satan shouted loudly.
Although he was annoyed by seeing Barrett's smug smile, he had no choice but to put up with it for now.
"I'm sorry! I'll contact the printing factory right away to reprint it!"

Night Never Falls Island
Inside a Gothic castle.
"Oh no! Something terrible has happened, Lord Moria!"
A zombie bear teddy bear spoke in human language and stumbled toward the room on the top floor.
Hearing the noise, a large group of black bats hanging upside down on the ceiling opened their scarlet eyes.
"Squeak!"
A black bat landed in front of the teddy bear, then began to swell and grow, eventually turning into a little giant more than 7 meters tall.
"whats the matter?"
Moriah asked, looking down.
"Lord Moria! Look at this!"
Moriah reached out and took the newspaper from its hand, and then his charming triangular eyes gradually widened.
"Damn it! What the hell is this bastard doing? Why is he acting on his own?!"
“Sizzle!!”
Despite the curses, Moriah pushed open the window and jumped out with the newspaper.
Under the night sky, a huge "bat" flew towards the distance.

grand line
Bird's Nest Island
"What's with this cover-up report? How dare this crappy newspaper under the CP department arbitrarily tamper with the truth!"
"The World Government is truly shameful. Young Master Gel always reminds me that I must pay attention to authenticity and rigor when reporting news, so that everyone in the world can see the truth. I, Morgans, have no choice but to do this! The World Economic News Agency must make the truth of this major event public!"
Morgause said indignantly.
"Don't make trouble for now! Let's wait for everyone to come back and discuss it before deciding what to do."
Ginny, holding a baby girl in her arms, stretched out her hand and tapped Morgans on the back of the head.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
The baby girl also kept grabbing the bird feathers!
"Hey, hey, hey, let go of Bonnie!"
Morganse cried out in pain.

Revolutionary Army Headquarters
Dorag was sweating as he read the newspaper.
The worst thing happened.
...
A country in a certain sea in the world.
"Extra number! Extra number!"
"Big event! Big event!"
"The world's most vicious pirates attacked the holy land of Marijoa and were arrested by the two heroes of the navy!!!"
Early in the morning, the newspaper vendor hawked his newspapers along the street.
"Gudong! What? Pirates attacked the holy land of Marijoa? Is that true?"
A man in pajamas who was brushing his teeth at his doorstep was so shocked that he swallowed his mouthwash when he heard it. He raised his toothbrush and shouted loudly with foam flying at the mouth.
"Quick, quick, quick! Give me a newspaper!"
"Good good!"
The newspaper boy said as he handed the newspaper to the man.
"80 Baileys! Thank you!"
"Isn't the newspaper 50 Baileys a copy? Why has the price increased?!"
The man asked, frowning as he read the newspaper.
"Hello sir, there is big news in today's newspaper! All the copies were snapped up early in the morning. It is really hard to get one. I paid a high price to get a few dozen copies from my colleagues, so the selling price will naturally be higher."
The newspaper boy explained with a smile.
"what!"
When the man opened the front page of the newspaper and saw that the title was exactly as the newspaper boy shouted, his eyes widened.
"Hey, hey, hey, sir, you can't watch it until you pay!"
The man simply slapped away the newspaper vendor's hand as he was trying to snatch the newspaper.
"How could I be short of your little money? Your wallet is on the table. Go get it yourself. Don't disturb me while I'm reading the newspaper!"
"What? Douglas Barrett? Wasn't this guy imprisoned in Impelton several years ago? How could he attack Marijoa, the holy land where the Celestial Dragons live? This is really big news!!"
The man couldn't help but shout.
The residents around who heard it also greeted the newspaper boy curiously.
"Give me one too!"
"I want it too! I want it too!"
Soon it was surrounded by people.
"..."
"Okay, okay, come one by one!"
The newspaper boy said happily.
Everyone took the newspaper and couldn't wait to read it.
In addition to Barrett's handsome photo, the newspaper also wrote:
Former One Piece crew member Douglas Barrett escaped from Impelton and attacked the holy land of Marijoa on the Red Earth Continent, slaughtering tens of thousands of slaves and guards. He also caused a distinguished world noble, the Celestial Dragon Saint, to suffer minor injuries in the attack. His crime is truly heinous!
Fortunately, the navy hero Garp and the navy admiral Sengoku arrived in time. The two teamed up to defeat him and sent him back to the underwater prison Impelton! Barrett was sentenced to life imprisonment! He will spend the rest of his life in prison.
After this incident, Barrett was upgraded from "Devil's Descendant" to "Devil Barrett"! And in view of the severity of the truth behind this incident, the World Government also gave Barrett a new title - "The World's Most Evil Pirate!"
It is also worth mentioning that Director Pelton was dismissed from his post due to dereliction of duty, and Deputy Director Magellan took over as director.
