(News Coo) - Idiots and Blasphemy go hand in hand

Disgrace and blasphemy have befallen on Black Drum Island!!!

You might be asking for what stupid reasons that is the case, and you are right to deem it stupid. When informed about the emotional story behind the creation of Black Drum... those who call themselves the King Pirates revealed their true allegiance and inquired a whole rebellion upon it!!!

They dared mock its importance and what its products mean to the rest of South Blue, saying that the only "Dragon" that has to be looked up to is their so called Captain, Daruma!!

Did they not know of how many children get blessed with Black Drum's toys?! How many people's jobs are made easier with products brimming in quality?!

OF COURSE THEY DID!!!

To acquire the Black Drum's goods, the King Pirates tricked the kingdom's honorable knights and made use of the Royal Family as hostages, citing them to be the actual blasphemers, including their young heir! But alas, the world of course knows that not to be true, no no no, we have already been shown how much idiotic and whimsical this group truly is!

Do not be swayed by their words, their lies, their selfishness!!! What people would ever attack, ramsack, and even murder defenseless hostages?! People that have done nothing but bid their good wills!!!

These idiots have even tried to say this attack had been planned through the infiltration of one of theirs, but even the humblest of guards have disproved such claims!!

## Marine Report

**One of our prestigious Marines and a member of the Jiang Clan!! Indeed, we have willing heroes hailing from territories allied under our Government's banner as well!**

**Holding the rank of Commander and known for not failing his given tasks, Min stood undeterred and fought the King Pirates and their Mercenaries before further damage was exerted over Black Drum. They resorted to their dirty tactics, sheer numbers, and the heroism of our Marines, yet had to retreat before Sir Min finished their top brass off!!**

**Many have started to call him "Waning Moon", the jaded beauty of the sky, thus, Min has been awarded the "Justice Step" and "National Defense Service" Medals out of sheer appreciation and effort!!!**

## Bounty Update

**Instigating all of this mess, bringing in his evil fiends and spitting on the dignity of our bespected seniors, "Evil Dragon" Daruma or "Makairyu" has put the largest target on himself!!! He wishes to be called a Dragon and so he was granted the aforementioned name to represent his hypocritical blasphemy, coined by those of his homeland who disown him!! Daruma was given a bounty of 65,000,000 for daring spread word against those we respect, destroying the production of Black Drum, and murdering King Vladimir III in cold blood!**

**Known as "Soundless", this woman Valade Sylvia laid low in Black Drum for a long while, feigning good will to help the kingdom, yet selling them on the smallest of whims to the King Pirates!! Having joined the crew, trafficking Wapometal for her own benefit, and even stealing some of the kingdom's most priced treasures, Sylvia was appointed a bounty of 40,000,000 and must be hunted down like the scammer she is!!**

**Whatever her methods, "Gale Shield" Cleopatra showed her alignment for both citizens and Marines alike, even expressing her distate for our heroes' justice and dirtying their name, earning herself a bounty of 25,000,000!! Not only did she lead part of the rebellion and disrespect the esteemed Queen Olga, this girl has thrown a tantrum in her declaration of support and protection over the blasphemous Daruma, vowing to aid him no matter what, thus getting called his very shield and being just that!!! While badmouthing our good Marines, she proved herself to have stolen info which they declared they shall get back!**

**Very much a bastard child of some Ninja conglomerate, Nisuke of the Loud Whispers is a brute as much as he yells, appointed 25,000,000 for his head!! Do not let his looks deceive you, his yells are often profanities, derrogating anybody that crosses his way, even his own partners in crime. He has utilised such a tactic to psychologically attack the "Blackened Eight", were it not for his and his group's dirty tricks, the admirable Knights would have never fallen!!**

**The man already known as "Gryphon" got his bounty increased to 85,400,000 after aiding the rebellion taking place at Black Drum!! Not only did he and his partner sell themselves to help the King Pirates, they went further to disgrace the royal family and stole many of their belongings. What could we expect from a mercenary taking advantage of our marines being busy with the rescuing of citizens!!**

**The one under Zarren, now referred to as "Dark Wing", Rey was seen attacking the kingdom's soldiers and badmouthing nearly as many people as Nisuke. Though, more than often he included Zarren's name in his declarations as if spreading religious word, shamelessly showcasing his fanboyance!! He has earned himself a bounty increase to 50,000,000 and was also seen in conspiracy with the aforementioned Valade Sylvia!**

## Respects

**Our respects are very much paid to the Black Drum Kingdom as a whole and to its Royal Family, whose patriarch, King Vladimir III, got assassinated while a hostage.**

**Please support the Black Drum Kingdom and its people.**
