The Fall of the Overlords, the Birth of New Emperors
Two days later, the battle in the New World, which had lasted for several days, finally came to an end.
Big Mom was the first to finish the battle, with her "Emperor's Sword - Shattering Blade!"
Big Mom swung the Napoleon sword with great force, its blade wreathed in blazing golden flames and terrifying Haki.
Ochoku, panting heavily, raised his sword to defend himself. He was already exhausted; the days of fighting and intense clashes had taken a heavy toll on his body.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from his ear. The sound was so loud that it could almost pierce his eardrums and cause substantial damage to objects. The ground around him visibly cracked and fissures appeared.
The strange sound also carried a powerful soul impact. Ochoku, being so close, was stunned by the sound. If he were in his prime, he would never have been affected by such a sound.
However, there are no "what ifs." After so many days of fighting, he was exhausted both physically and mentally. Moreover, the later the battle went, the more obvious Big Mom's advantage became, and the greater the pressure on him became.
The sky was somewhat gloomy, a storm was raging, and every now and then, a terrifying flash of lightning would streak across the sky.
Big Mom can infuse objects with souls, making them obey her commands. Using this property of the Soul-Soul Fruit, Big Mom gained the ability to manipulate the weather and natural phenomena.
This battlefield was directly turned into Big Mom's home turf.
Ochoku froze, and Big Mom seized the opportunity, delivering a terrifying blow that struck Ochoku, leaving a gash on his body.
Blood splattered, and with terrifying force, Ochoku's body flew backward, traveling thousands of meters before crashing into a small mountain, causing a chunk of the mountain to be missing and rocks to continue falling.
Ochoku's sword flew out of his hand, soaring through the air for hundreds of meters, spinning continuously, before its tip pointed downwards and plunged deep into the ground.
The removal of his sword seems to symbolize the end of an era for a powerful pirate.
Many people had a premonition: witnessing this scene, did they even lack the strength to hold a weapon?
The live stream showed Big Mom flying over to Ochoku was already lying on the ground, seemingly unable to move. Big Mom stood atop Zeus the Thundercloud, her enormous, giant-like body looking down at him as if he were a loser.
"Well, Mom." Big Mom jumped off Zeus the Thundercloud, causing the ground to tremble. She smiled, wore thick lipstick and light purple eyeshadow, and was dressed in a pink dress. She looked at Ochoku, her high heels clicking as she slowly approached Ochoku.
The outcome was decided; Ochoku had been defeated. At this time, Big Mom's body was somewhat bloated, but her former beauty was still evident.
Napoleon transformed back into his bicorn hat, which landed on Big Mom's head, while Zeus the Thundercloud, and Prometheus, the fireball, flanked Big Mom on either side.
"Ochoku, do you have any regrets?" Big Mom asked with a smile, seemingly intending to see Ochoku off. They were somewhat familiar with each other, having once been on the same ship. However, that ship was a pirate crew where crew members could kill each other, which meant that their relationship was not good.
After the fall of the Rocks Dynasty, they each established their own pirate crews, and at that time, they were rivals and enemies.
"Cough, cough cough!" Upon hearing Big Mom's words, Ochoku coughed up blood repeatedly and slightly raised his head.
"You won," Ochoku said softly. He didn't even have the strength to move. That knife had cut deep into his flesh, shattering all the bones in his chest. The fact that he wasn't dead was a testament to his strong physique.
With a smile on his face and his eyes slightly closed, he seemed to be recalling his life, a life spent traversing the seas. He was truly old, and blood kept flowing out, soaking his clothes.
Bigmom didn't speak, standing there quietly, seemingly giving Ochoku time.
Ochoku felt his life slipping away, and he knew he wouldn't last much longer. He didn't want to die like this; for a ruler like him, it was torture and a disgrace.
"Let's get started," Ochoku said, looking up at Big Mom.
"Hmm." Big Mom nodded. To die in battle, at the hands of the enemy, was the best way to end Ochoku's life.
The fall of the overlord left many viewers somewhat silent. This was the first sea overlord to die in the battle for supremacy. The terrifying war and overwhelming power made people feel the cruelty of the struggle for supremacy.
"Zeus, Prometheus," Big Mom said, raising her hands. The two strongest Homie, understanding Big Mom's intentions perfectly, flew to her hands, one on each side, and were caught by her.
With a powerful clench of her fist, Big Mom's muscles bulged, and lightning and flames clung to her fist. She was about to end Ochoku's life with one final blow.
"Thunderflame Critical Strike!"
Powerful fists, imbued with the force of lightning and fire, intertwined as both fists slammed downwards towards Ochoku, who lay sprawled on the ground.
Boom!
Big Mom delivered a powerful blow, giving Ochoku his final respect.
Ochoku's body suddenly sank into the ground, causing the surrounding rocks to bulge and sending debris flying.
With this move, Ochoku was completely rendered lifeless, and the once-powerful overlord ultimately perished in battle.
Kaido was the one who ended the battle later, about half a day later.
A diagonal scar appeared on Kaido's abdomen. A day ago, Silver Axe unleashed his strongest axe blow, breaking through Kaido's defenses and leaving an indelible scar. Even with Kaido's terrifying regenerative abilities, it could not be fully healed.
This is also Kaido's first scar, and the only scar he has had since his debut.
Silver Axe wasn't particularly tall, but he possessed superhuman strength. Wielding a giant axe that was even taller than himself, his battle with Kaido was like fighting a giant; the two were simply not in the same league in terms of size.
The armor on Silver Axe's body was shattered, pieces falling off to reveal part of Silver Axe's body.
Blood flowed from the cracks in the armor of the Silver Axe.
The shield he was holding in his right hand had been shattered by Kaido, with half of it broken off.
"Silver Axe, fall to the ground!" Kaido roared. He had already received news that Big Mom had killed Ochoku, and he couldn't afford to fall too far behind.
"Thunder Bagua!" With lightning and Conqueror's Haki intertwined at incredible speed, a powerful strike was swung directly at the Silver Axe.
After many days of fighting, Silver Axe's ability to hold on until now demonstrates his exceptional physique, even surpassing that of Ochoku Zhi, Great Swordmaster.
However, compared to Kaido, he is still far inferior. Kaido himself is a monster, born with a powerful physique and possesses great strength at a young age.
When Kaido joined the Rocks Pirates, although he was only an apprentice crew member, he had already gained the recognition of the other officers for his strength.
After obtaining the Mythical Zoan Fish- Fish-Fish Fruit, Devil Fruit Azure Dragon Form, it became even more powerful.
Kaido possesses extraordinary stamina, endurance, resilience, and regenerative abilities. In his human-beast form, Kaido's strength, agility, speed, and other attributes are enhanced.
This is something the Silver Axe cannot compare to.
However, Kaido's attack was unavoidable due to its incredible speed.
Silver Axe was very familiar with this move, and despite his declining physical condition, he still had to take the hit.
"Berserk Axe - Silver Axe!" Silver Axe said in a deep voice, abandoning the shield he was holding in his right arm. He had long since given up on defense and was now attacking with all his might.
He wielded a giant axe in both hands, his arm muscles bulging, his somewhat obese body containing astonishingly terrifying power.
Unleashing tremendous power, Silver Axe's muscles were tearing, causing immense pain. His body could no longer withstand the strain and he was unable to attack with full force.
But Silver Axe held on.
He swung the giant axe with great force, its blade gleaming with a sharp silver light—a slashing strike, a common stance for the Silver Axe during attacks.
That's how he got the nickname "Silver Axe." His real name is no longer known; Silver Axe is simply his name.
The violent collision sent Silver Axe's legs sinking into the ground. The overwhelming force, the ferocious blow, and the terrifying power caused an earthquake-like tremor, with the surrounding rocks rapidly bulging.
After a three-breath standoff, Kaido gritted his teeth and a smile appeared on his face.
Silver Axe's arms trembled, and his body trembled as well. He dared not relax, for the slightest relaxation would mean utter destruction.
However, his body was about to break down. After such a long and intense battle, the pain emanated from him and spread throughout his body.
Kaido, recognizing Silver Axe's condition, maintained his stance of suppressing Silver Axe and opened his mouth, "Bolo Breath!"
A scorching Dragon Breath shot out from Kaido's mouth, heading straight for the Silver Axe.
Although its power is not as great as the fully transformed beast form, it is still sufficient.
Silver Axe was unable to dodge and took the brunt of Kaido's Bolo Breath, which caused some damage to his body and made him vulnerable in the collision.
Silver Axe was defeated, falling in the collision, his body sent flying. Kaido's blow was diagonally upward.
Silver Axe's body flew into the air, Kaido, seizing the opportunity, leaped above Silver Axe.
"The Three Worlds Descend - Naraku!"
Kaido spun his spiked club, Conqueror's Haki coating, and attacked downwards. The blow struck Silver Axe directly, who was unable to dodge and was slammed to the ground. The overflowing black and red Inazuma continued to spread and float in the air.
The terrifying power of this move caused an impact like an earthquake, directly cracking the ground within a radius of tens of meters and turning it into countless pieces of rubble.
Even through the images, one can feel the terrifying power and destructive force of this move.
What about the Silver Axe that directly faced this blow?
Half of his body was embedded in the rubble, motionless. The armor on his chest was completely shattered, and his chest was dented by Kaido's spiked club.
Silver Axe had already lost consciousness. His body could not withstand such a powerful blow, and he was on the verge of death, only breathing faintly. Only a few people could tell that Silver Axe was still alive.
Kaido watched Silver Axe's figure, raised his spiked club, and delivered the final blow, ending Silver Axe's life.
The death of Silver Axe brought him the greatest benefit. Compared to the Beasts Pirates Whitebeard Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates and the Flying Pirates lacked some foundation.
They need a chaotic sea; the chaos of fighting for territory will attract the attention of other Great Pirate, giving them enough time to develop peacefully for several years.
The battle for supremacy that captivated the world has finally come to an end.
As most people predicted, the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates emerged victorious, and Big Mom and the Beasts officially became the new Sea Emperor, bringing the total number of Sea Emperor to four.
However, the deaths of these two maritime overlords also signify the demise of two dominant pirate crews.
The turmoil of the battle for supremacy is far from over. The two fallen sea overlords left behind vast territories, which are coveted by many forces.
Aside from the territories already annexed by the Big Mom Pirates Beasts Pirates, the remaining territory consists only of the remnants of the Ochoku Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates. However, lacking top-tier powerhouses, it is essentially unclaimed land in the eyes of other forces.
Some forces have even set their sights on the remnants of the two dominant pirate crews. Among these remnants, some plan to become independent, while others have begun to contact top-tier forces or are waiting for the right offer, preparing to seek protection from their next patron.
The remaining territory is vast and interconnected, located near the center of the New World, and possesses immense value.
It is conceivable that the struggle for territory would turn this vast area into a chaotic arena of conflict and war among various factions.
Furthermore, friction has already begun, with many pirate crews getting involved and planting their flags on these islands.
"Hehehehe!" Golden Lion Shiki laughed loudly as he watched the deaths of his two former companions, but tears welled up in his eyes.
But soon, silence fell over them.
Holding the bottle, he poured the liquor into his mouth and drank it in large gulps.
Times are changing; Ochoku and Silver Axe have both been rendered obsolete by the times.
Back then, Rocks was the same. Even a man with such terrifying strength couldn't escape the passage of time. His strength declined slightly, and he was eventually defeated by Roger and Garp working together.
When will it be his turn? Thinking of this, the Golden Lion clenched his fist and crushed the empty wine bottle.
He harbors ambitions to dominate the world; how could he possibly accept things going down this path?
Thinking of Redfield, who had just been released from prison, he used to look down on Redfield's ideas, but now he understood them a little.
He needs to be prepared.
The Whitebeard Pirates are heading towards the Marine G1 Branch on the Moby Dick. Hii, who escaped from Impel Down, has returned to the Whitebeard Pirates and, possessing the ability to fly, flew directly to the New World.
Seeing those familiar, but mostly unfamiliar, faces, Hiyori rejoined Whitebeard's ranks.
Whitebeard watched the video, looking at his two fallen old rivals, without saying a word, quietly drinking his sake.
What if he collapses one day? What will happen to his children?
Although he's still at his peak right now, what about the future? He's seen a lot.
"Pops," Marco called out, looking at Whitebeard, thinking he was feeling Whitebeard.
"Gurarara! I am Whitebeard!" Whitebeard stood up, laughing loudly, facing the sea.
