Chapter 160 Fake News from the World Government
Chapter 160 Fake News from the World Government
the next day.
One major news story after another spread throughout the world.
The World Government issued a statement announcing that the Luo Ji Pirates had destroyed Ryukyu Island, killing all life on the island.
The eight naval forces of the Mulberry Kingdom were completely wiped out, and even the eight treasure naval forces of the Flower Kingdom were all killed.
The capital of Sang was also destroyed by the Luo Ji Pirates.
The World Government and the Navy Headquarters call on all member states to cooperate sincerely and jointly defeat this new Fifth Emperor, who is even more brutal than the Four Emperors and the Revolutionary Army!
When the King of the Flower Kingdom and Dragon of the Revolutionary Army saw this latest news, their eyes widened in surprise.
Even the Eight Treasures Navy, which escaped from Liuluo Island, was completely wiped out?!
Didn't they agree on terms with Luo Ji?
Why did those naval units still die?
The King of the Flower Kingdom is currently unable to contact several key members of the Eight Treasures Navy, and Dragon has also lost contact with the Great Bear.
What exactly happened on Liuluo Island?
Could it really be as the World Government has stated, that the Luo Ji Pirates suddenly destroyed Ryukyu Island and all life there?
The official news from the world government immediately caused an uproar throughout the world.
Yesterday, the Luo Ji World Group was still live-streaming, holding high the banner of liberation. How did they suddenly become evil pirates who kill and destroy islands?
Everyone is wondering what really happened after yesterday's live stream.
It's definitely not that simple.

On a small island in the West Sea.
Journalist Pulitzer, who had spent a whole day escaping in the deep sea, shakily landed on the island. To this day, he still hasn't dared to send the footage and photos he took to his editor, Morgans.
He is afraid!
He was really scared this time!
He feared that if he sent these messages to Morgans, the World Government would hunt him down and kill him.
After all, this was footage of the World Government destroying an island, a colossal scandal.
But if he didn't report these news stories, he would be going against his original intentions and principles, and his conscience would be tormented.
Between life and conscience and principles, what should he choose?
He saw today's news and heard everyone's heated discussion while he was eating at a tavern on the island.
"Was it the Luo Ji Pirates who destroyed Ryukyu Island and killed those Happo Navy soldiers?"
Pulitzer stared incredulously at this official "fake news," touching his conscience and the wads of pesos in his pocket, a fire burning within him.
Captain Luo Ji has been a close friend of mine and has given me money; how can I let him suffer such a great injustice?
However, once he hands over the truth and the photos to Morgans, he will be hunted down by the World Government for the rest of his life and will be unable to continue his journalistic career.
Pulitzer pondered for a long time, and finally his eyes hardened. He decided to send the intelligence to Morgans under a different identity.
He even gave himself a new nickname: "Lightning-Fast Photographer"!
From now on, any dangerous or sensitive intelligence will be sent to Morgans using this pseudonym.
He wants conscience, professional ethics, and principles, and he also wants money!
Having figured everything out, Pulitzer decisively switched to a new Den Den Mushi and even disguised himself before sending all this dangerous intelligence to Morgans.
Morgans was also shocked when he received these news reports and photos.
He was well aware of the dangers involved, but who was he?
He's destined to be the king of news!
A mere danger is nothing to worry about!
He made up his mind to work overtime immediately to release the latest news.
He wanted to slap the World Government and the Navy Headquarters hard.
It looks like he'll be moving the news agency headquarters a few more times.

On another part of the West Sea.
Luo Ji and Xia Li fled for a whole night before leaving the sea. They released the Ark Proverb and the others, and flew into the sky towards the Calm Belt.
"Captain Luo Ji, is that aura the World King you spoke of?"
On the deck of Ark Proverb, everyone was still somewhat shaken, because that final aura was dozens of times more terrifying than the four magic circles.
“That’s right! This is one of the original twenty kings who has lived for eight or nine hundred years, and he once led nineteen kings to ‘defeat’ the Great Kingdom and the Sun God Nika, the ability user Joy Boy, a thousand-year-old monster!”
"The Celestial Dragon God, the King of the World: Nenaro Im-sei!"
Luo Ji spoke with a very serious expression. He was indeed shocked by Im's aura. As expected of a true old monster who controlled the Five Elders.
The name Narona is written as 【ネロナ】, which is a split of the character '神' (god), so this guy really does have '神' (god) as his surname.
I wonder if Im has any offspring, or if there will be a Celestial Dragon family with the surname 'God' Narona.
"He's lived for eight or nine hundred years?!?"
Huang Mu shouted, looking somewhat panicked. It seemed that by following this captain, he had provoked a great terror.
"Nika is the sun god? His name is Joy Boy? He was defeated?"
Bonnie's eyes were filled with disbelief as she turned to look at Big Bear, wanting to hear his denial.
How could their idol be defeated!
"Has Nika been defeated?"
Big Bear was also a little lost in thought. In the legends of their Bakania tribe, Nika was a liberating warrior who brought joy, the freest warrior.
“Joey Boy, isn’t that the name that left an apology in the Poneglyphs on Fishman Island?”
Nicole Robin quietly interjected, which disappointed Bonnie even more. They'd already written an apology; they were definitely defeated.
She was a little frustrated that her idol was a loser.
"The ancestor of Big Bear may have been the first Nika or one of the Nika ability users, and he is not the same person as Joy Boy."
There should be several users of the Sun God Nika's abilities, and one Sun God Nika also appeared among the giants.
Joy Boy was the last sun god Nika to successfully awaken his abilities.
Eight hundred years have passed since then, and the sun god Nika has never appeared.
The World Government has also been searching for the Nika Fruit, or eliminating any Nika users who haven't awakened their powers.
Luo Ji explained that the Great Bear's ancestor, Nika, was definitely more ancient than Joy Boy, after all, he was a primitive man with the same appearance as the Shandians.
Joy Boy, on the other hand, is a small giant with a straw hat, similar in appearance to Roger and Luffy, who appears in the memories of the robot Emmett.
His large straw hat is still kept by Im in the collection room between the flowers in Pangaea.
"The King of the World and the Five Elders are so terrifying, can we really change this world?"
Yi Xiao's mood turned heavy again. Five Elders alone could defeat them, let alone an even more terrifying thousand-year-old monster.
"Rest assured, Nika, the sun god, and Poseidon, the sea god, will both grow up in this era."
We and the revolutionary army are also developing rapidly; hope will always remain!
"Don't underestimate ourselves, we are strong too! We can change everything!"
Luo Ji smiled and said confidently, "Actually, the Five Elders are not as scary as you might imagine."
I reckon Big Bear could fight the Five Elders for days.
As for Im, although he is also very strong, he is not so strong as to be unbeatable!
Even a 'god' who was frightened by the Conqueror's Haki left behind by Joy Boy still has flaws.
As long as Luo Ji can grow to the level of Joy Boy, or even surpass Joy Boy.
Then anything is possible.
Even if Im lives for a thousand years, he will be dethroned and become a stepping stone for the new ruler.
