The sun had barely risen over the New World when the first whispers of Ryokugyu's defeat began to circulate. The Marine battleship had barely cleared the horizon before the news was broadcasted across the world, sending shockwaves through the seas.
**On the Marine Headquarters**, Admiral Sakazuki paced restlessly in his office, his face a mask of fury. The defeat of Admiral Ryokugyu was not just a blow to Marine prestige; it was a direct challenge to the World Government's authority. He slammed his fist on his desk, sending papers scattering. "How did this happen? Ryokugyu was one of our strongest!"
In the central communication room, Fleet Admiral Kong was already on the line with the other Admirals. His expression was grim as he addressed them, "We have confirmed that Ryokugyu was defeated by Aniki, the Lunarian who has been causing turmoil. The reports indicate that he not only defeated Ryokugyu but did so with relative ease."
Admiral Aokiji, known for his calm demeanor, spoke up, "This Lunarian Fang is proving to be a serious threat. If they can defeat an Admiral so effortlessly, we need to reassess our strategy."

**In the pirate-infested waters**, the news spread like wildfire among the various pirate crews. The infamous pirate, Edward "Whitebeard" Newgate, sat on the deck of his ship, his massive frame looming over his crew. The ship's communication device crackled as the news reached them.
Whitebeard's expression remained unreadable as he absorbed the information. "Aniki, huh? This Lunarian is making waves. It seems we have a new player on the board." He turned to his crew, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Keep an eye on this one. He might become a valuable ally or a dangerous enemy."
Nearby, the crew of the Red-Haired Pirates, led by Shanks, watched the news unfold with a mixture of curiosity and concern. Shanks leaned back, his red hair fluttering in the wind as he addressed his crew. "Looks like the Lunarian Fang is making a name for themselves. We should see what their next move is."

**In the underground world**, the defeat of Ryokugyu was met with a mix of awe and fear. The infamous underground broker, Donquixote Doflamingo, lounged in his palace, a sinister grin spreading across his face as he watched the broadcast. "A Lunarian taking down an Admiral. This is interesting. I wonder what other secrets this Aniki holds."
Doflamingo’s subordinate, Diamante, approached him cautiously. "What should we do, Lord Doflamingo?"
Doflamingo’s eyes gleamed with malevolent interest. "Keep an eye on him. If this Lunarian proves useful, we might have a new player to work with—or a new threat to eliminate."

**Meanwhile, in a secluded corner of the world**, the Revolutionary Army was also taking notice. Dragon, the enigmatic leader of the Revolutionary Army, was in his hidden base, surrounded by his trusted advisors. The broadcast had just ended, and a tense silence filled the room.
"Aniki," Dragon mused, his voice contemplative. "A Lunarian who can defeat an Admiral. This could be an opportunity for us. We need to understand his goals and see if there’s a way to align our interests."
One of his commanders, Sabo, spoke up, "If he’s powerful enough to challenge the World Government, he could be a valuable ally—or a formidable enemy. We should proceed with caution."

**Back on the Lunarian Fang**, the crew was abuzz with excitement and curiosity. The defeat of an Admiral had been a major accomplishment, and it was clear that the news had reached far beyond the New World.
Raizo, still adjusting to his new role as the second mate, approached Aniki with a thoughtful expression. "Captain, it seems the entire world is talking about your victory. This could be both an opportunity and a risk."
Aniki nodded, his expression contemplative. "Indeed. Our actions have drawn attention from all corners of the world. We must be prepared for the consequences, whatever they may be."
Zane, ever the pragmatic one, added, "The attention we’re getting means more challenges are on the horizon. We need to be ready for anything. But this is also a chance to solidify our place in the world."

**As the day wore on**, the Lunarian Fang sailed smoothly through the New World, the crew’s morale high after their recent victory. Aniki stood at the bow, his gaze fixed on the horizon. The defeat of Ryokugyu had been a significant milestone, but Aniki knew that it was only the beginning.
Zane approached, handing Aniki a report. "Captain, there’s been a lot of interest in us. We’ve received messages from various factions—both allies and potential threats."
Aniki took the report, scanning the contents with a thoughtful expression. "It seems our victory has put us on the map. We’ll need to navigate these new alliances and rivalries carefully."
Raizo joined them, a determined look on his face. "No matter what comes our way, we’re stronger than ever. We’ve proven ourselves, and we’ll continue to do so."
Aniki’s eyes shone with resolve. "Our journey is far from over. The world is watching, and we must remain vigilant. We have the strength to face whatever challenges come our way, and together, we will reshape the world."
With that, the Lunarian Fang continued its voyage, sailing into the unknown, ready to face the trials and opportunities that awaited them.
