----------

New World, Beehive Island

"Worororo, what a joy," Kaido laughed.

Blood covered his massive body as he sat on a throne made of countless corpses. He raised a wine gourd and drank happily, the red liquid flowing down his chin.

Clear alcohol dripped from the seat along with Kaido's drinking, mixing with the blood and creating a strong smell of wine and death.

"The strength of an Emperor of the Sea is truly terrifying," Morgans said from high above.

The World Economy News Paper president had transformed into his albatross form, flying at a safe distance. His voice carried both fear and excitement.

Kaido slammed his wine gourd down hard. "I thought after reaching this level, no one would dare challenge me anymore! But that treasure makes people's greed stronger than their caution."

He stood up, scattering the pile of corpses that formed his seat. "Instead of going after that guy Alex, they came to bother me instead. It really pisses me off!"

The Beast Pirates immediately moved their ships further from the island. Even the massive battleships retreated. Everyone knew that drunk Kaido was at his most unpredictable.

"Morgans, are you ready?" Kaido called up to the flying news baron.

"Of course! No problem at all," Morgans replied eagerly. "All the newspapers and bounties have been printed. We can send them across the world anytime."

His eyes lit up with excitement. "It's really a big project! It doesn't matter if it causes fear or panic - news should be explosive! This time I'll use information to shake the entire world again!"

Morgans was having the time of his life. One big story after another kept coming, and he could already imagine the waves this news would create worldwide.

"Worororo, no wonder you get along with that guy," Kaido said with a grin.

The next day, news from the World Economy News Paper spread to every corner of the world through newspapers.

[THE GREAT SECRET TREASURE ERA! THE SECRET OF LAUGH TALE! AN UNPRECEDENTED FEAST WILL BE HELD ON WATER STAR ISLAND!]

[KAIDO SPEAKS PERSONALLY - EVERYONE CAN PARTICIPATE! THE TICKET FOR THIS CARNIVAL FEAST IS A MARINE WORTH 100 MILLION BERRIES!]

As soon as the news broke, the entire world exploded in shock!

Just as Morgans expected, the newspaper immediately caused panic everywhere.

While bounties for Marines existed in the dark world, this was the first time they were openly discussed and spread to the general public.

Normal bounties were supposed to be an effective way to stop pirates.

But now, Kaido of the Beasts was bold enough to create this so-called carnival, using Marine heads as admission tickets.

This behavior completely shattered the worldview of ordinary people and filled their hearts with fear.

It was natural for Marines to put bounties on pirates - soldiers versus thieves, with Marines always chasing pirates around the world.

But suddenly the tables had turned. Many common people couldn't accept it. The other side even dared to put bounties on Marines! Didn't this mean Marines could no longer scare pirates? People could see what would happen in the next era when facing crazy pirate riots.

Those who cared about justice naturally worried about the carnival Kaido planned. But many powerful pirates were thrilled.

After all, this was a carnival linked to the great secret treasure. Not just anyone could participate.

Furthermore, they had always been chased by Marines around the world. Now it was their turn to hunt those Marines.

Most importantly, Kaido's statement showed that the Sky Kingdom was clearly supporting this!

On the Red Force

"Big trouble, Shanks," Benn Beckman said seriously, looking at the newspaper in his hands.

With Kaido and Alex's actions, the era had entered a moment of chaos that almost no one could stop.

The new rules would have a huge impact on Marines in the coming time. This wasn't just about the New World - it was dragging down the entire "world," and they certainly couldn't stay out of it.

"Hahaha, it's really rare to see Marine bounty posters," Yasopp said, sitting on the ship's rail. "As expected, Akainu, Kizaru, and those guys have bounty amounts similar to ours."

He looked at the bounty poster in his hand with interest.

"And this time it's obvious that the emperors of the underworld will also get involved," Lucky Roux said. "Captain, what should we do? It seems like this is no longer a situation we can prevent."

Everyone looked at Shanks, waiting for his response.

"Well, since it's a carnival, let's join in," the red-haired emperor said calmly.

"Then should we prepare our admission tickets first?" Lucky Roux asked while eating.

Shanks shook his head, showing a cold expression. "I never said we'd follow Kaido and Alex's rules."

Everyone nodded with understanding looks. They were the Red Hair Pirates - they had inherited Roger's free spirit and could go wherever they wanted.

"Speaking of this event, maybe Luffy and the others will also look for it. It's almost time to meet," Shanks said thoughtfully.

"Yes! I wonder what level my brat has reached," Yasopp said proudly.

"Hahaha, maybe even stronger than his father who abandoned his wife and son. They're now the same Four Emperors as us," Lucky Roux joked.

Hearing his crew's laughter, Shanks's serious face softened a little. He knew this was his crew deliberately trying to lighten the mood. After all, not following the rules meant making trouble for Alex and Kaido.

Just like Captain Roger's approach to dealing with the Rocks Pirates, the world must not be corrupted by Alex and Kaido.

At this moment, Shanks thought about Luffy's current bounty.

A new era had arrived that could bring the world back on track.
