Chapter 62: Morgans = Noble Person!
Soon, the entire world caught wind of the clash between the Dragon Hunter Pirates and Morgans.
"Oh my god, these Dragon Hunter Pirates are savage!"
"That new pirate crew's fearless! They even roasted Morgans' news birds!"
"Yup. They've poked the beast. Their golden days are over."
"Rember that one pirate crew that ca out hot, made a big scene—then vanished after pissing off Morgans? Never even made it to the New World."
Talk of the incident swept across the seas like wildfire.

Aboard the Dragon Hunter Pirates' Ship
"Ding! Congratulations to the host. You've been recognized by the Quark Pirates and gained 100 reputation points."
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for being—"
As the system notifications rang out, a sly smile crept across Ryuunosuke's face.
Yeah... taking down those news birds wasn't just because he thought they were snooping.
It was all about the reputation points.
Morgans was the top dog when it ca to spreading news across the seas. Even the World Governnt and Navy couldn't claim they were better. When global news needed delivering, people counted on Morgans.
Hell, that's why his news birds could fly right over the Red Line and not get blasted by the Governnt.
"Heh heh heh..."
"If things keep going like this, I'll be able to set everything up soon," Ryuunosuke muttered, eyes gleaming with excitent.
There were so plays he had to prepare ahead of ti. This sea... it was way more twisted than what the average person saw on the surface.
If he wanted a ton of reputation points, hiding in the shadows and grinding slowly wasn't an option.
But going public had its own price: danger. Real, deadly danger.

"Captain, what are you laughing at?"
Najenda approached with a plate full of fruit, watching Ryuunosuke sit on the deck and chuckle to himself.
Lately, he'd been acting a bit off.
He'd just sit there, alone, laughing.
It wasn't too serious at first... but now, it was happening more and more often.
"I dunno," Kuina chid in, glancing at Ryuunosuke. "But he looks really happy."
"Maybe he rembered sothing funny?"
There was a certain mystery to Ryuunosuke that kept everyone guessing.
Kuina often found herself feeling like her brain couldn't keep up with his logic. Just being around him made her question her own intelligence.

"Alright everyone, dinner ti!"
Susanoo popped out wearing an apron, holding a big spoon like a staff.
"Sweet!"
"Captain, ti to eat!"
"I'm starving—did we get a lot of at tonight?"
"I want booze!"
The whole crew gathered like nothing was wrong and prepared to dig in.
Tonight's special? A bird feast.
They'd roasted all the news birds that had gathered the past few days. Especially today—dozens were taken down in one go.
These birds had been specially trained to fly long distances. So, yeah, maybe not the most tender at... but flavor-wise?
Ace was hooked from the first ti he tried roasted bird. After that, it beca a full-blown addiction.
And honestly, at this point, offending Morgans was way lower on Ace's list of concerns than satisfying his stomach.
---
"Hey bro... did we really offend Morgans?"
"They say he can call on the World Governnt's special forces."
"What if they co after us?"
Ace said all this while chewing through a bird leg, not stopping for a second.
"Whitebeard ntioned Morgans before... and he looked serious."
"If even Dad finds him troubleso, the guy's gotta be legit."
"But I don't think it's worth stressing over."
Ryuunosuke smiled as he replied, "Besides, Morgans is a noble person!"
Far away on News Island, Morgans sneezed violently.
Soone was clearly talking about him... and calling him a noble person?
Yeah, he wasn't buying it.

Later That Night
"Bro... I don't get you sotis."
Ace leaned back after dinner, full and thoughtful.
"You're out here making enemies left and right. That's not good for the Dragon Hunter Pirates, is it?"
"You're smart—way too smart to do sothing that dumb."
"So what's the real deal? You hiding sothing from ?"
"Secrets?" Ryuunosuke raised a brow. "Yeah. Plenty."
"But I'm not telling you."
"As for why I do what I do... there's a lot behind it, stuff your dumbass wouldn't understand."
He said it casually, but with enough sharpness to leave Ace speechless.
Truth was, whether it was fighting or arguing, Ace had never won against Ryuunosuke.
And if Ryuunosuke hadn't advised him to rethink how he developed his Fla-Fla Fruit... Ace would've still been plateaued.
Now, he was growing stronger by the day.
So yeah, when Ryuunosuke called him a "dumb brother," Ace couldn't even argue.
---
"Alright, that's it—fight !"
Ace stood up, blue-white flas igniting between his palms.
"Damn, you went with the blue-white flas? Stylish!"
Ryuunosuke grinned. "Good. I've been aning to test myself too."
He drew A-no-Habakiri, and the sword humd in the air.
Even before he moved, the pressure from the sword made the space around it feel... cut.
"Holy crap... bro, you powered up again?! When the hell did that happen?!"
"Are you on so kind of secret training diet or what?!"
Ace was stunned. He originally wanted a spar, but after feeling the sheer cutting force in the air, he backed off.
"Yeeeah... I think I'll go beat up Hawkins instead."
He still had his pride, but even he knew when a fight was a lost cause.
---
"You should probably eat one of these," Ryuunosuke said, tossing Ace a pill.
"Also, since you're an elent-type user, I've got sothing new I wanna try."
"I picked it up from Chrollo. Pay attention."
As he spoke, Armant Haki coated his body, slowly darkening.
But then, sothing new happened—telekinetic energy began to swirl around him, wrapping him in a strange aura.
Ace's expression shifted instantly.
No more jokes. No more snark.
He was all serious now.
