He admits, "Honestly, I was scared when the war broke out... But now, Whitebeard is dead!!" He says Blackbeard has been born as a great power, and that the new world is ruled by the Four Emperors: Red Hair, Kaido, Big Mam, and the missing Whitebeard seat. With that balance broken, Kid says nobody knows what will happen. He grins and declares, "A new age is dawning!!! The likes of which we've never seen!!!" His crew stands behind him as the war's end becomes a call toward the New World. Page 5: The news is carried to the East Blue, West Blue, South Blue, North Blue, and the Grand Line, spreading as if it had already been written in history. Though the Marines' victory is reported, people seize on Whitebeard's final words instead. Crowds shout, "Whitebeard said it!!!" "One Piece is real!!! Let's go find it!!!!" and "The sea still holds unseen dreams!!!" Newsboys cry "Extra!" while others yell, "Whitebeard is dead!!" The narration says the news was whittled down as it spread until the only word carried throughout the oceans was the Marines' "victory," but Whitebeard's confirmation of One Piece stirs the world more deeply.
