(News Coo) - Soaring Hoof Hero

**WORLD NEWS NETWORK**
The visual Den Den Mushi awake. A woman stood on the projected visualization, dressed in a suit and was being broadcasted all around the World. The Den Den Mushi tech had evolved over the years and now news was being projected a whole new way. In a way to control propaganda and keep the focus where it needed to be.

She was a news reporter, different from any of peers before him. He didn't focus on newspapers and hardstone writing, she was all about the vocal widespread and image to be able to hear this news and feel the meaning behind the articles.

"Acts of Heroism are never to go unseen in the event that is now being referred to as the "**Noble Dragon Incident**"." The woman finally began to speak, hands together as she pointed her finger towards the snail that projected her . "The Marines have protected the most noble of our people, the Celestial Dragons on an island that was haunted by the mythical creatures known as Dragons."

She took a brief pause and stared right into the eyes of the snail, "I'm Retroper Wens reporting on today's news. After vacating on a remote island, while under the protection guard of the Marines led by Rear Admiral, Logan," She held up an image of Logan to the snail's eyes. "Two criminals to the World Government decided to barge in on the fun spent by our Celestial Dragon." Placing the image of Logan down, she held her hand up and this time two images were being shown. One of a person with their face hidden by a mask and the other of a young man with black hair.

"We learned that this island was home to a mythical dragon, which was being hunted by these two suspects here. One, Ashura a known criminal and the other a masked assailant. The Marines believe the two criminals to be working together. Rear Admiral Logan and Ensign Fritz fought against the duo in an extremely heated battle in an attempt to protect the Nobles of our World as well as the Dragon they came in search for. A situation arose where Logan was forced to toss himself to the defense of the Celestial Dragons, leaving the actual dragon wide open for Ashura to strike down and kill."

"Logan had to protect his men, the Celestial Dragons, and the creature all at the same time, he did what he could to prioritize the lives of the nobles."

Wens shook her head in disappointment and lowered her gaze, giving off a sad tone. "But alas! Admiral Kanto arrived on the scene to lend aid to our hero, Logan and together they pushed Ashura and his partner away. But not before the masked person would unleash a giant ball of darkness onto the island. Had Kanto not been on the scene to deal with the attack, that may have been the end for our Marines."

"Once everything calmed down, Logan did did his search of the island he discovered something even better. The egg of the fallen dragon resting in a sacred cave. Returning the egg to the World Government, Logan is now being praised by his peers for his exemplary performance, but this unnamed island remains shrouded in the darkness of the criminals. "

## Marines

**Logan**: For fighting off against the criminals, recovering the dragon's egg, and protecting the World Nobles and his allies, Logan had received a myriad of different accolades and ribbons; **Justice Power Medal**, **Treasure Discovery Medal**, **Gold Knight Medal**, **Celestial Protection Ribbon** Former Rear Admiral "Dragon Tooth" Logan is now being hailed as Vice Admiral Logan the Hero, by the Government and World Nobles who keep us afloat.

**Fritz**: While aiding Logan and his comrades to keep the World Nobles safe, Fritz has been awarded **Justice Power Medal** and has been promoted to the rank of **Commander**.

**Kanto**: At the beckoning call of the nobles, Admiral Kanto arrived on the scene. This shift in power gave aid to Logan and his men and forced the duo to retreat. Protecting the nobles from the powers of evil, Kanto was able to retrieve the dragon's corpse by force. There isn't a ribbon or medal that Kanto doesn't have, but that doesn't stop him from standing on the front lines fighting as a Marine.

## Bounties

**Unknown**: It was impossible for our soldiers to make out the face of the masked assailant, but we have the best sketch drawn the we could find. They were last seen wearing a mask and cloak, and officials tell us they sounded like a woman. They are able to manipulate the darkness, so if anyone has seen this masked person, the World Government is offering 100,000,000 for the death or capture of who we are now calling the "**Dark Queen**".

**Ashura**: A well known criminal in his own right, causing trouble for the World Government and Marines ever since he traveled in the South Blue, Ashura has become another headline of our story. He played a tremendous role in the events that unfolded and could be seen as its orchestrator. The Avatar has fallen and there have been strict rules applied for the capture of the criminal in the form of *Only Alive*. Justice will be the only judge for his fate, he's being referred to now by the Marines and World Government as the **Dragon Slayer** and is now worth 359,000,000.

## Other News

"In other news," Daniel said, pointing to the Den Den Mushi again and smiling, "It is learned that the World Government is now reopening an investigation regarding the incident of Tália."

He folded his arms across his chest, "Whatever happened on that island years ago, seem to slowly be resurfacing an-"

A cutaway.

"Marine Captain Tanaka D. Shiro-"

Another cutaway.

"The Everything Pirates, led by Fleet Admiral Henry Avery. The base on Widow's Peak, once a beacon that called all to it for protection and retribution against the wicked has been utterly destroyed. Without this base, pirates will now be able to run rampant within the the earliest parts of the Grand Line-"
