Welcome to Marineford Daily News, your only source of accurate and unbiased truth.
We at Marineford Daily News are deeply saddened to report that one of our finest journalists, Charles 'Chucker' Tarlson, has been brutally murdered, while investigating unfounded rumors that slavery and human trafficking was occurring under the approval of the Marines stationed there.
Such outlandish lies normally would not warrant a second glance by our reporters, but Chucker was convinced that the rumors concealed a much darker secret. And despite being warned by many that this path was dangerous, he pushed on, ready to do his duty as a journalist.
Much to our combined horror, the brave reporter disappeared off the face of the earth before being found resting in pieces three days later. Nailed to his body was a note warning that this was to be the fate of all who dug too deep and too greedily. A stark warning to all of us.
However, as the editors of the Marineford Daily News, we were determined to ensure that his great sacrifice in trying to bring the numerous terrible threats to light was not in vain. Following up on his final reports, we have sought the assistance of the local marines who very eagerly offered to help us in our investigation.
It turned out that he had uncovered that Silvers 'Dark King' Rayleigh, had in fact been living in secret on the Sabaody Archiopelago for the past twenty years. While we believe he has since fled the Archipelago thanks to the noble actions of the Marines and is no longer a threat to its citizens, the former First Mate of the infamous Gold Roger is considered one of the most dangerous people alive and not to be approached under any circumstances by the general public. Chucker's tragic death should serve as a warning to all when dealing with such vicious and bloodthirsty pirates.
