Emperors' War and the World Military Draft / This Era Was Called Whitebeard

Large-scale wars always mean the defeat and demise of a nation.

And on top of this large-scale war, there are also super-large wars that can affect the world structure.

The most representative example is the Paramount War, which ushered in a new era, a war between the Four Emperors and the Navy.

The outcome of that war, due to the intervention of another Four Emperors Blackbeard Pirates's cunning and ruthless tactics led to Sasuke's victory at a terrible cost, while the Navy suffered a crushing defeat despite having the greatest advantage.

Less than a year had passed since the Paramount War.

Having survived the 'Worst Generation' on the Grand Line, it began to transform into a true Paradise.

The New World, this 'strongest sea,' has become a battleground for countless people vying for supremacy.

At the top of this sea, there are four emperors known as the 'Emperors of the Sea,' who have seized the largest piece of the New World's pie, leaving only the last small portion for others to fight over.

To have secured such a large share of this 'strongest sea' and remain unchallenged to any successor, these four emperors possessed not only unparalleled power but also the most formidable sea empire.

The four strongest Sea Kings each have a large number of subordinate Sea Kings, forming a group capable of shaking the world order.

Therefore, the Navy is always on high alert whenever the Four Emperors make a move.

Less than a year after the Paramount War, another world-shaking war is about to erupt.

No one knows who spread the news on the black market, but Jack, one of the All-Stars Drought the Beasts Pirates and with a bounty of 1 billion Beli, was killed by Whitebeard Pirates, and the uninhabited island of Rosasayara was sunk and erased from the map.

The news caused an uproar as soon as it was released.

The already bustling sea instantly boiled over.

The news had spread New World and even the Grand Line. Attention, which had been focused on the 'King of Knights' who had been very active in the past three months, shifted to Beasts Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates.

Regardless of whether the news is true or not, it has already generated considerable buzz and discussion.

Especially with the 'Big News Morgans' Morgans was making, the news that the Sea King and Whitebeard Pirates were about to go to war was so convincing that its credibility kept increasing.

As time went by, more and more information began to circulate.

As time went by, more and more information began to circulate.

Jack the Drought has indeed disappeared. Rumor has it that his death caused Kaido to shatter a mountain, but whether that's true or not is unknown.

Rumor has it that the subordinate Beasts Pirates Sea Banner F have all begun to assemble.

The same applies to Whitebeard Pirates.

Rumors also circulated on the black market that some arms dealers had sold out of all their weapons.

In a sea area of New World, the enormous whale-shaped ship 'Moby Dick' is anchored on the surface of the ocean.

"Pops, the news is true. Jack really has been missing for a long time. There's a rumor that his Vivre Card has turned to ashes."

On the deck, Marco walked over from a distance, carrying a Den Den Mushi (snail Den Den Mushi), and said in a deep voice to the Whitebeard sitting in a chair, "This is a complete and utter conspiracy, a conspiracy that will be utterly destroyed!"

"Gurararara... What do you think, Marco?" The Whitebeard, his upper body bare and covered in scars, wearing only a cloak behind him, and without the usual IV drips and oxygen tubes, held a huge jug in his hand, drinking without restraint, and asked with a hearty laugh.

"This should be the 'Heavenly Yaksha' Donquixote Doflamingo's hidden frame!" Bie R'erga said, rubbing his chin. "Viola's Vivre Card is completely undamaged, and I haven't forgotten her memories either. She shouldn't have been discovered yet, or perhaps she has been discovered and is being held captive by 'Heavenly Yaksha'."

"According to Viola's description in her notes, without the cultivation plants of the Tontatta Heavenly Yaksha, the production of those 'things' would be greatly reduced, which undoubtedly offended that Kaido..." Marco continued his analysis, "Offending Kaido, and us as well, he only has one path left: death."

"In this situation, if he wants to survive, he can only shift Kaido's hatred onto us." Marco looked at Whitebeard with a serious expression and a heavy gaze, and said, "Pops, could Kaido be here for Mansherry and the others?"

"No, Marco... you've missed something." At this moment, Ace suddenly spoke up from not far away, his left hand still resting on the ship's railing, his expression serious. "'Heavenly Yaksha' Donquixote Doflamingo, he dares not leave Dressrosa... More importantly, he doesn't have the strength to defeat or kill 'Drought' Jack."

"That makes sense..." Marco nodded in agreement, "Perhaps 'Heavenly Yaksha' deceived Kaido, inciting that Kaido who likes to fight alone to use all his strength to take revenge on us and try to take back Mansherry and the others."

"Gurararara... In the past year, many people have wanted my life." Whitebeard looked at the now mature Ace and Marco, as if he could see their future successors, and laughed with satisfaction. An unparalleled domineering aura erupted from him, and his bold and fearless laughter echoed throughout the city, "But no matter who it is, their fate is the same."

"Because... I have Whitebeard!!"

"Oh--"

The deafening roar soared into the sky.

The imposing presence of the Moby Dick, tangibly materialized, gradually made the azure sky heavy, as a dark cloud began to gather.

Every face radiated fearless confidence, their eyes even revealing an eager excitement.

If war breaks out, they will announce it to the world.

Let the world know that their throne as the strongest in the Whitebeard Pirates is no longer crumbling, but truly deserves its title.

Chapter 197 The Emperors' War and World Military Draft

Under Arthur and Doflamingo's plan, Kaido, who was already not very bright, completely walked into their trap. Unlike his usual solo battles, he concentrated all his energy and declared war on Whitebeard Pirates's crew in the name of avenging "Drought" Jack.

Despite the fact that Jack the Drought's death was unrelated to him, the arrogant Whitebeard did not defend himself in the face of Kaido's declaration of war.

The war between the Four Emperors is now a foregone conclusion.

The moment this news broke, the previously bustling New World fell into a deathly silence.

Regardless of whether it was a warring nation or a struggle for territory, the temporary truce between the two sea monsters and all the major and minor powers turned their attention to the Beasts Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates.

It's important to understand that this battle wasn't just some ordinary suicide show by Kaido; it was a genuine large-scale battle.

The war between the four largest factions to rule the New World!!

As a result, the changing winds of the New World have even affected the Grand Line.

Even in remote and isolated areas, one can find this kind of news in newspapers.

It's worth mentioning that, amidst this oppressive atmosphere, a piece of news that would normally cause a global sensation quietly emerged.

The new Fleet Admiral, the one who took that highest position, is Sakazuki, one of the Three Admirals of the Marine Headquarters, codenamed 'Akainu'.

Nearly a year after the Paramount War, as a consequence of the Navy's defeat, former Fleet Admiral Sengoku the Buddha resigned and recommended Admiral Aokiji to the World Government to become the new Fleet Admiral.

At that time, people even thought that the new Fleet Admiral was Admiral Aokiji.

Unexpectedly, the new Fleet Admiral was none other than 'Akainu' Sakazuki.

Once this news spread, the day's attention naturally shifted temporarily from the Emperors' War to Sakazuki.

Only then did the world realize that the new Fleet Admiral had not been appointed because the World Government's highest leader had nominated Admiral Akainu, and the choice between Aokiji and Akainu had been delayed.

Therefore, after a vote, it was decided that 'Aokiji' and 'Akainu' would compete for the position of Fleet Admiral on the deserted island of 'Punk Hazard' in the New World.

The two fought for ten days and ten nights, and in the end, 'Akainu' Sakazuki emerged victorious.

As Sakazuki succeeded to the position of Fleet Admiral, the defeated Admiral Aokiji chose to leave the Marine Headquarters and disappeared without a trace.

Therefore, in addition to the headline announcing the appointment of the new Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, the newspapers also carried news about a 'World Military Draft'.

Those skilled individuals from the common people who are recruited from across the sea, as long as they have a clean record, no blemishes, and great strength, can be granted the qualification to become Marine Admiral through exceptional means.

The spread of this news prompted countless self-proclaimed experts, or even unknown masters, to take action.

As a result, both the New World and the Grand Line became lively.

The New World is focused on the upcoming Emperors' War, while the first half of the Grand Line is dedicated to World Military Draft.

These two events, each of which could shake the world on its own, have come together to form a powerful whole.

For a long time to come, the sea is destined to be very lively and exciting.

As expected...

Three days after news of the World Military Draft spread, news spread throughout the New World of the destruction of a highly prestigious sea lord and the emergence of a powerful figure.

The intentions behind this person's aggressive march towards the first half of the Grand Line are self-evident.

There are countless examples like this.

Similar news would appear every day on the Grand Line and in the New World, and Morgans, the "Big News Morgans," would excitedly collect it and publish it in newspapers to spread it around the world, creating buzz for the "World Military Draft."

At this time, neither the Beasts Pirates nor the Whitebeard Pirates made any move.

Gradually, the world's attention was diverted from the Emperors' War by these hype events.

Only the kingdoms, powerful forces, and the World Government still keep their sights on the Emperors' War.

The World Military Draft frenzy is naturally a source of excitement for World Governments.

Those who are eager to show themselves off are simply people whose information was collected by the Cipher Pol and then handed over to Morgans, the "Big News Morgans," by the World Government to amplify the hype.

In reality, higher-level intelligence agencies have long been collecting information on top-tier powerhouses. The World Government is ostensibly promoting those who aspire to become Admirals, but its true focus is on those unsung, low-profile top-tier powerhouses.

It has to be said that hype, in any world, is one of the easiest ways to attract public attention.

More and more touted powerful figures are emerging, and the front page of the 'World Economy News Paper' newspaper is constantly changing every day.

The 'King of Knights,' who was once the focus of the world's attention, still shines brightly, but has become more low-key.

The bustling sea lasted for nearly two months.

During this period, people all over the world were discussing who in 547 had the best chance of becoming Admiral.

Big News Morgans even created a Morgans to collect public votes and establish a ranking list for the "strongest" individuals.

Just as the topic was getting heated...

A nuclear bomb exploded with a deafening roar.

Like a raging torrent, it instantly crushed the topic of World Military Draft, like the rising Sun, high in the sky, visible to everyone.

The Emperors' War has begun!!

There was a very famous naval battle, known in history as the Battle of Aitwall.

The main protagonists of this naval battle were the two legendary sea monsters, Shiki and Roger.

The result of that battle was that Roger Hellsworth won.

This Emperors' War is known to the world as the Battle of Gos Heights.

Gos Heights is a deserted island in the New World.

A completely deserted island, where it is said that no plant can survive, no matter how tenacious the seed is.

This island was one of the territories ruled by Whitebeard Pirates.

This time, it served as the venue for the Emperors' War!!

Chapter 198 This era is called Whitebeard

The Emperors' War began with the death of 'Drought' Jack.

Kaido's thoughtless mind, coupled with Doflamingo's words that "Whitebeard's strength has returned to its peak," and the stimulation he received Paramount War a year ago, led him to unhesitatingly walk into Arthur and Doflamingo's trap.

They mobilized the full power of the Beasts Pirates to launch a massive war against the Whitebeard Pirates.

Faced with Kaido's declaration of war, Whitebeard naturally agreed.

The war was delayed for two months not only because the scattered naval forces were being gathered together, but also because someone wanted to stop them.

And this peacemaker was none other than Red-Hair, Shanks of the Four Emperors.

Unfortunately, no matter how he tried to persuade him, just like before the Paramount War when he tried to stop Whitebeard from rescuing Ace, he was met with a merciless rejection.

Even out of consideration for Red-Hair's personal connections, the Shanks Whitebeard Pirates' crew members all stopped Whitebeard, and the two almost came to blows again.

If a fight breaks out this time, Shanks will definitely suffer.

Because the person he was facing was a legend who had returned to his peak, a figure from the same era as his captain, Roger, the World's Strongest Man.

Unless he uses the power of 'Conqueror's Domain' from the beginning, no one can withstand the world-destroying power of the strongest Paramecia Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Without the hidden ailments accumulated over decades, Whitebeard's Haki will only grow larger and stronger.

That was a truly despairing 'Monster'!

Because of him, Whitebeard Pirates has always been the strongest of the Four Emperors.

Without him, Whitebeard Pirates would become undeserved; he would be a sea lord on par with the Four Emperors all by himself.

When this person returned to his peak, Whitebeard Pirates, with him around, was no longer the teetering strongest, but the undisputed strongest.
