One Year

Oboro's reason for targeting Whitebeard Jr.. is simple: although Edward Weevil attacked Shanks' forces and was severely injured by Shanks, he wasn't executed. This was partly due to Whitebeard's influence, and partly due to Shanks' personality.

But don't assume Shanks is kind; he's one of the Yonko... If it were anyone else, like Marshall D. Teach, Shanks would definitely eliminate them completely.

The same applies to the Eustass Kid trio. After leaving Dressrosa, Shanks began accepting challenges from the younger generation. Although Eustass Kid was much stronger than in the original story, he still lost an arm. Faced with such a vast difference in strength, the boost he received from Oboro proved insufficient. Meanwhile, Capone Bege joined the Beasts Pirates, becoming Kaido's henchmen... This time, Bege did not join the Big Mom Pirates.

If we're talking about the luckiest member of the Worst Generation, it has to be Urouge... After killing one of the Sweet Commanders, he was hunted down by the Big Mom Pirates. But because Blackbeard killed Charlotte Pudding, Big Mom had to spare some of her energy to deal with Blackbeard Teach. However, Marshall D. Teach wasn't so easily 'compromised,' and the hordes of monsters he recruited managed to tie down the Yonko's forces for a while... Currently, it seems Big Mom has no way to deal with him.

All of these events occurred after the changes took place in Dressrosa.

Right now, Whitebeard Jr.. is still chasing Marco men.

I'll just stop bothering the Shanks for now.

The Worst Generation's attack on the Yonko has exacerbated the chaos in the New World, causing many established powers entrenched in the New World to stir up trouble.

If we count from the Summit War until now, almost a year has passed. After entering the New World, the Hell Pirates hid in Dressrosa for quite some time, then destroyed Gran Tesoro, and went into hiding again, observing Shanks joining forces with the Five Elders and bringing in Kaido and Big Mom. Then the incident in Dressrosa happened, Doflamingo was taken away, and Oboro hid behind the scenes, plotting everything.

Besides the New World, the Navy is also making quite a stir.

First, Marshal Sengoku has stepped down.

The navy is currently in a state of 'leaderlessness'.

However, judging from the information revealed by some newspapers, the powerful factions within the Navy Headquarters strongly support Aokiji's rise to power, and there has been no 'struggle' as in the original story. After all, Akainu is now dead... The voices within the Navy are roughly divided into two types: one is the radical faction, which consists of Akainu's lineage, and the other is Aokiji's conservative faction. The people in this camp actually support the hero Garp quite a bit. If Garp were willing, he could definitely succeed Sengoku.

Therefore, a large part of the reason why Aokiji was able to gain support is thanks to Garp.

As for why Kizaru didn't participate in the competition, it can only be said that besides his personality, Kizaru is quite intelligent.

Well... just look at the Sengoku.

The World Government's greatest enemy right now is the Hell Pirates led by God Slayer.

Sengoku suffered repeated setbacks at the hands of his enemies and was constantly blamed, which fueled the Celestial Dragons' anger and resentment... Becoming a Fleet Admiral certainly brings power, but if something goes wrong, you'll also be the first to step up.

Kizaru doesn't have the same sense of responsibility as Aokiji.

So... although the Navy has not yet made a statement, the consensus is that it's only a matter of time before Aokiji becomes Fleet Admiral.

It remains to be seen when it will be announced.

Time flies by, and before we know it, a year has passed.

In the New World, Kaido appears to be the most powerful of the three Yonko so far.

After recruiting Bege and X Drake, Kaido took the time to target other members of the Worst Generation, eventually recruiting Scratchmen Apoo, Eustass Kid, and Hawkins... However, the Kid Pirates did not join Kaido. There are reliable sources that the other Worst Generation members have become executives of the Beasts Pirates, but Eustass Kid and Killer are nowhere to be seen.

The Big Mom One Piece also wanted to recruit new-era One Piece as their subordinates, but she was currently overwhelmed with other matters... In fact, she had suffered several humiliating defeats while dealing with Blackbeard Teach, and the Charlotte Family children she sent out had been defeated.

To everyone's surprise, Blackbeard's power had grown to such an extent. The key point was that everyone discovered that the Blackbeard Pirates' officers were extremely powerful, with many Devil Fruit users and a wide variety of individual combat skills. There were rumors that Blackbeard Teach, and others had long been blessed by the God Slayer's divine power and had been secretly colluding with the God Slayer, which was why their abilities had increased so much.

The Yonko, the Hell Pirates, who have always been considered by outsiders, disappeared completely after destroying the Gran Tesoro. Therefore, the Blackbeard Pirates have become the most promising contenders for the Yonko position, since not everyone can challenge the Big Mom Pirates.

The alliance that Shanks once spearheaded is now defunct in name only. Apart from the Red Hair Pirates still searching for clues about the Hell Pirates, Kaido and Big Mom have long since parted ways with them and are now going their separate ways.

The World Government has been able to exhaust the vast resources it provided to the two Yonko in the early stages of the war.

Although Shanks was determined to find the whereabouts of the Hell Pirates, the whole process was frequently interrupted by various unexpected events. First, there was Eustass Kid trio, then Whitebeard Jr.., and then he had to protect Marco.

Things have finally calmed down recently.

It can be said that after the Ding Shang War and a year of chaos... the new pattern has gradually been finalized.

Kaido, Big Mom, Shanks... they are still the Yonko.

Marshall D. Teach's Blackbeard Pirates are the strongest force below the Yonko.

Besides, Whitebeard Jr.. also gained immense fame, with even the World Government extending an invitation to become a Shichibukai, which he declined. Meanwhile, it's rumored that Trafalgar Law from the Worst Generation and Buggy the Buggy, who became a household name due to the live broadcast of the Summit War, have both become candidates for Shichibukai.

In the New World, a place called Silver Island gradually became known to people.

This island is very small. It was renamed after being occupied by a Silver Pirates. No one had ever heard of it before, nor did they remember that such a small place existed in the New World. It was a desolate, forgotten area. Logically speaking, even if some organization used it as a base to develop, it wouldn't attract much attention. However, the boss behind the Silver Pirates seems to be quite powerful, wielding considerable influence in the underground world.

The mysterious boss, using the alias J, has been buying large quantities of human resources at irresistible prices over the past year, making him a major client in the human trafficking industry. He is also hiring professionals at high prices.

The reason it has attracted attention is because this Boss J is too rich... and it seems that those who go to Silver Island can no longer contact the outside world.

We have no idea what happened on the island.

Of course, while the matter of Silver Island attracted some attention, it did not become the focus.

Against this backdrop, the following day, a large ship belonging to the World Government docked at the port of Dressrosa.

Wearing a pink cloak, Doflamingo swaggered down the ship's stairs, returning to his familiar surroundings.

Gazing at the azure sky and the familiar scenery before him, Doflamingo grinned, sniffed the air, and unconsciously let out a laugh, "Fufufufu..."

"I'm back!"
