At Sea, I Start by Sizing Up the Four Sea Emperors

In the world of One Piece, there is a small inn run by a meticulous young man.

He cares neither for fame nor fortune, and every morning at eight sharp, he tells stories at the inn.

One day, Ning Xiu publicly critiqued Kid, the foremost of the Supernovas, saying Kid was all show and didn't deserve to be called the best of them.

Kid came in a fury, but left in disgrace. No one knew what had happened to him. All they knew was that he left with one arm missing.

After that, Ning Xiu openly critiqued the Four Emperors, enraging Big Mom and Kaido. They both came after him, and everyone thought Ning Xiu was doomed with two Four Emperors attacking him.

But one was injured, and the other fled.

Yet Ning Xiu didn't stop there. He went on to criticize the World Government, and when he spoke of the blank century of history, the World Government panicked... The Five Elders even activated a teleportation array to kill him.

Instead, Imu was left stunned. With just one sword strike, Ning Xiu killed all five Elders.

Imu: Who are you?

Ning Xiu: I'm just a storyteller.
