New World—Somewhere on the Seas!

A colossal ship, resembling a great white whale, lay anchored. Its main sail bore a Jolly Roger: a skull with a white, crescent-shaped mustache.

—The Whitebeard Pirates—One of the Four Emperors!

"Pops! Crocodile—that guy got himself killed," Marco, the 1st Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, reported, holding a newspaper and wanted poster before a massive man.

The man, over six meters tall, with a distinctive white crescent mustache, his body adorned with numerous IV drips, yet radiating an incredibly terrifying aura, took a massive swig of alcohol from a giant gourd.

"Pops! Your health! You can't drink anymore!" The medical team nearby instantly panicked.

"GURARARARA! I'm Whitebeard! My body's just fine!" boomed the man—the one hailed as the World's Strongest Man, one of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard, Edward Newgate!

"Crocodile... that sand-blasting brat is dead, you say?" Whitebeard's eyes shifted slightly as he looked at the news Marco held.

That insolent young fool who challenged him—dead in the first half of the Grand Line?

"Killed by that super rookie pirate, 'Sky Sovereign' Rowen. This man also defeated Marine HQ Vice Admiral, Admiral Candidate Pink Rabbit. And even attempted to overthrow the Alabasta Kingdom in collusion with their princess. These new rookies are really something else," Marco commented, his own eyes reflecting shock.

Pink Rabbit's strength was something even 'he' had to treat with caution. Yet she lost to that super rookie? Sky Sovereign Rowen's meteoric rise was far more dramatic than Ace's initial debut.

"Sky Sovereign, eh? GURARARARA! What an arrogant brat!" Whitebeard laughed heartily.

"The bounty the World Government and Marines put on this super rookie... it's outrageous," Marco continued, showing Whitebeard Rowen's wanted poster.

WANTED - DEAD OR ALIVE

Cause of Extreme Malice: Mastermind of the Alabasta Incident!

User of Multiple Devil Fruit Powers: Possesses the Ability to Hunt Devil Fruits.

The Epitome of Viciousness and Violence! Public Enemy of Devil Fruit Users!

'SKY SOVEREIGN' ROWEN

BOUNTY: 1,135,000,000 Beri!

Looking at the poster, even Marco felt a profound shock. His own bounty was "only" 1,374,000,000 Beri. But that was largely due to his position as the 1st Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, reflecting the threat of the entire Whitebeard crew's influence!

This man's bounty... was based solely on his individual threat!

"Able to use multiple Devil Fruit powers, and hunt Devil Fruits too... Pops, what kind of power is that?" Marco asked Whitebeard. As a Devil Fruit user himself, such a description naturally concerned him.

"That power... sounds a bit familiar," Whitebeard's eyes narrowed slightly in thought. "But, no need to worry too much. Even if he can use multiple fruits, more isn't always better,"
