Although Yami left quietly after instakilling Kaido with overwhelming force, he left a shock that the world would never forget for the rest of their lives.
Morgans did not turn off the live stream immediately. He actively flew down towards the sea, using the last Video Transponder Snail to film the super-giant whirlpool that seemed to pierce through the planet, with darkness so deep the bottom couldn't be seen. This allowed the whole world to feel up close just how much mighty power Yami's Ultimate Art: Great Cataclysm possessed.
While filming, Morgans provided his analysis: by visual estimation, it would take at least several days for this super-giant whirlpool to be filled by seawater.
This shows just how massive the whirlpool was.
This data once again plunged the world into silence.
What was even more shocking was that Morgans flew down for a long time but couldn't find a single corpse.
One must know that, excluding the over one hundred thousand clone soldiers and cyborgs, there were over ten thousand pirates on that large island.
Yet, those ten thousand-plus people, including the six super powerhouses comprising the Three Admirals and the three Emperors of the Sea, had all vanished without a trace.
If all six of them had died, then this sea would truly fall into a chaotic mess.
Even if they were lucky enough not to die, they would surely end up like Monkey D. Garp—missing limbs or left with permanent hidden injuries, leading to a severe decline in strength.
But regardless of whether they died or not, the Great Pirate Era was entering a new chapter.
The old era belonging to Whitebeard had become a thing of the past.
Starting tomorrow—no, starting now—this sea would enter the era named after Yami.
Unlike the one who finds Laugh Tale, a new generation Pirate King who defeated everyone with sheer strength was born at this moment.
It is believed that in the coming period, when people talk about Yami, they will mention the words "Emperor of the Sea" less and less, and instead use the title "Pirate King" to address him.
The very next day, official sources endorsed Yami's status.
While the Navy dispatched a large number of marines and the World Government sent numerous agents to rescue the Three Admirals, they also released Yami's new wanted poster.
The bounty was so high that it shocked the past and dazzled the present, existing in a league absolutely of its own.
[Black Hole Yami, Multi-Fruit Ability User, Bounty: 10,460,000,000 Berries. Dead or Alive.]
Yes, it wasn't just a bit more than Whitebeard's 5.046 billion, nor just a bit more than Gol D. Roger's 5.5648 billion. It was directly 5 billion Berries higher than Whitebeard and about 4.5 billion higher than Roger.
This amount made this wanted poster the first in eight hundred years to break into the eleven-digit range.
Yet, such an exaggerated bounty was not questioned by anyone; on the contrary, people felt it was very reasonable.
If Yami had only defeated or killed Whitebeard, or wiped out the Whitebeard Pirates alone, his bounty wouldn't possibly surpass Roger's; at most, it would be slightly higher than Whitebeard's.
But the key was that Yami not only killed Whitebeard but also simultaneously defeated the remaining three Emperors of the Sea and the Three Admirals.
Finally, his casual instakill of Kaido made it obvious even to children that Yami had evolved into a creature of another dimension.
In this world, perhaps no one is his opponent anymore.
Or perhaps, the only enemy worthy of Yami now is the one everyone fears... Time!
After the World Government and the Navy released the new wanted poster, they prepared themselves to go to war with Yami at any moment.
Simultaneously, over the next two days, wanted posters for the other members of the Black Hole Pirates were released successively.
To be precise, the wanted posters for the Carina trio.
Hancock, already at the level of an Emperor of the Sea, saw her bounty skyrocket to 3.5 billion Berries.
Carina and Nami saw theirs skyrocket to 2.3 billion Berries.
Aside from the three women, the one whose bounty increased the most was Robin, rising from a few hundred million to 1.5 billion.
Although the four Road Poneglyphs disappeared along with the large island, and despite the World Government and Navy's full efforts to salvage them yielding nothing, leading to severe suspicions that Yami had moved them away long ago.
Regardless of the case, they were certain that Yami definitely possessed rubbings of the four Road Poneglyphs.
He held the key to Laugh Tale in his hands.
If Yami's strength weren't so terrifying, the Five Elders would have wished to deploy the God's Knights and other top combat forces to besiege the Black Hole Pirates immediately.
But having witnessed Yami kill Whitebeard and wipe out the other Emperors and Admirals, the Five Elders were now afraid that Yami would appear in Mariejois and use that Ultimate Art on the Holy Land.
Compared to Yami finding Laugh Tale, they were now more afraid of starting a war with him.
What made them sigh in relief was that Yami made no moves afterward.
Of course, they did not drop their guard and constantly probed Doflamingo, willing to sacrifice a large amount of benefits in exchange for maintaining the current balance.
Doflamingo's reply made the Five Elders heave a heavy sigh of relief.
Yami had no interest in ruling the world, so he was willing to maintain the current balance.
Whether Yami truly had no interest or was lying, as long as he didn't start a war now, it was fine.
To cope with a potential surprise attack from Yami, the World Government would definitely support the Navy heavily in the future, starting a World Military Draft, urging Vegapunk to speed up the repair of the Mother Flame, and creating Seraphim capable of rivaling the Warlords of the Sea.
Yami indeed had no interest in ruling the world for the time being.
Compared to ruling the world, Yami was more interested in the System, which had loaded to eighty-five percent and would fully awaken with the remaining fifteen percent.
If the System fully awakened, it would unlock new functions, making Yami even stronger. If he gained mighty power capable of dimensional strikes like Kaguya Otsutsuki from the Naruto world, then ruling this world would be something Yami could do on a whim.
Before the System fully awakened, Yami decided to seize the final Devil Fruit while waiting.
That Devil Fruit was one of the top-tier abilities among the Paramecia class... the Paramecia Munch-Munch Fruit (Baku Baku no Mi).
In fact, Yami wasn't interested in the Paramecia Munch-Munch Fruit itself because he had the Logia Dark-Dark Fruit (Yami Yami no Mi), so he didn't need to eat people to obtain their abilities.
However, after developing the Black Hole move and perfecting it so that even Whitebeard would be instakilled by hundred-fold compression and crushing upon entering it, and realizing he could devour Devil Fruit abilities inside the black hole, the Paramecia Munch-Munch Fruit became very important to Yami.
As long as he obtained this Devil Fruit, Yami could immediately awaken it, making the Black Hole's devouring characteristic even more unsolvable.
With the enhancement of the Paramecia Munch-Munch Fruit's characteristics, Yami's Black Hole devouring might not only be able to devour other people's Devil Fruits but perhaps even devour more things.
