The Battle of Edd War

"Fleet Admiral Kong, Roger and Golden Lion have met in the New World, in the waters of Edvard!" the intelligence officer shouted, rushing over to deliver this major news.

A meeting is in progress in the conference room.

"Look, the opportunity has come." Upon hearing this news, Garp laughed and turned to leave.

"Stop right there, Garp! I haven't finished speaking yet!" Garp shouted, seeing Garp's undisciplined behavior and his attempt to leave.

"You haven't finished speaking, but I've already heard everything." Garp walked to the conference room door, pushed it open, smiled, and then walked out of the conference room.

"Garp, stop right there!"

A hollow sound rang out, but Garp completely ignored it, and with a "bang!" the door slammed shut.

Sora sighed helplessly, but the meeting continued. The atmosphere was somewhat heavy. The entire office was full of people: Sengoku, Tsuru, Zephyr, Kuzan, Borsalino, and other veteran vice Vice Admiral. The office was filled with high-ranking Navy officers. Even Sakazuki, who was still in the New World, had been forcibly recalled.

Both the Roger Pirates and the Flying Pirates posed a significant threat to the Navy and the world.

Even if you know that cooperation between the two parties is impossible, you must eliminate that possibility, even if there is only the slightest chance.

The combined might of the two legendary pirate crews— the Flying Pirates' massive fleet and the Roger Pirates' high-caliber combat power—would have unimaginable consequences if they joined forces.

Sora's face was serious. "Sengoku, this time you're going to the New World. Act according to the circumstances. Although the chances of an alliance are slim, we can't let our guard down."

"If they show any signs of forming a united front, we must stop them."

Kong acted decisively, dispatching Admiral Sengoku, the Navy's top combat force. As for Garp, there's no need to guess; judging from his appearance, he'll go too. Everyone in the upper echelons knows about Garp's obsession with Roger.

"Zephyr, you'll keep an eye on the Whitebeard Pirates to prevent a three-way confrontation. A two-way confrontation would likely lead to conflict, while a three-way confrontation would be more likely to maintain balance. A major battle between the Roger Pirates and the Flying Pirates would be more beneficial to the Navy."

Staff Officer He said that this was the situation she was worried about.

For such an important meeting, Kong summoned Zephyr, who was still training in the Navy Academy. Such a crucial event couldn't afford to waste Zephyr's formidable combat power.

The Whitebeard Pirates are very likely to be involved. That samurai from Wano Country is Whitebeard's younger brother. Although it's unclear why he appeared on Roger's ship, given Whitebeard's personality, the possibility of him taking action is extremely high.

The three are both enemies and friends; it's anyone's guess what will happen next.

"Zephyr, you lead a Buster Call fleet. Make sure Whitebeard doesn't interfere in the battle between the Roger Pirates and the Flying Pirates. If Whitebeard doesn't make a move, then don't start a conflict."

A Buster Call fleet consists of ten warships, five Vice Admiral, ten Rear Admiral, and tens of thousands of elite naval soldiers, enough to easily destroy a small island.

Led by former Marine Admiral Zephyr, even with such a powerful force, Kong warned Zephyr not to act rashly, because they all knew how terrifying Whitebeard was; if Whitebeard were angered, this entire Buster Call force would be easily destroyed.

Walking down the corridor of the Marine Headquarters, Garp strode in the middle, with two adjutants following behind him on either side.

"Vice Admiral Garp, you declined the promotion, didn't you?" Kuzan ran over, stood behind him, and exclaimed, "You're so cool!"

"If you want to be free, you don't need such a high status," Garp laughed, then turned to look at Tsuru, who had followed him and was walking beside him. "Tsuru, after we set sail, could you give me a ride?"

Tsuru refused Garp's request without hesitation, saying, "The order to launch hasn't come down yet, has it? You'll destroy the ship soon, and I don't want you on board."

"Don't say that, Roger is the one who insists I handle this," Garp said, looking at her.

Arriving at the naval port, on a warship, Sengoku shouted as he saw Garp approaching, "Garp, we've taken care of the Golden Lion matter. You should go back now."

Upon seeing Sengoku, Garp laughed heartily and waved his hand, "Don't worry about him, all the credit will be yours."

"That's not what I meant!" Sengoku shouted angrily upon hearing Garp's words.

"Hahahaha!" Garp put his hands on his hips and laughed heartily.

On the warship, three future Vice Admiral— Mole, Yamakaji, Doberman— stood together. Currently, they were still Rear Admiral, and although their strength was overshadowed by the brilliance of the three Supernovas, they were still future high-ranking officers in the navy and had received important training from the navy. This mission was also meant to add a chapter to their resumes.

"Are Admiral Sengoku Vice Admiral Garp going out at the same time?" Doberman chuckled from the side.

"After all, the opponent is Roger, Vice Admiral Garp can't just ignore it," the Mole laughed.

In the New World, in the waters of Edvard, Buggy cried out in terror, clutching his head and shaking it frantically. "Captain Roger! Life is the most important thing!" He had no choice but to surrender to Golden Lion.

"Hey, Buggy, you've become invincible, no matter what," Shanks, wearing Straw Hat, said with a smile, trying to comfort Buggy.

"You have plenty of weaknesses, you idiot," Buggy yelled at Shanks, his face covered in sweat and snot running down his face from fear.

Just then, Buggy noticed the ship's doctor behind him. "By the way, Mr. Crocus, how is the captain's condition?" He then ran up to Crocus, looked at him, and said, "He's not fit to fight yet. As the doctor, you should go and stop him."

"Unfortunately, he's in excellent condition right now." Crocus knew what Buggy was thinking, and laughed, brandishing the spear in his hand.

"That won't do," Buggy ran to Rayleigh. "Mr. Rayleigh!" Buggy shouted, and a hand reached out and grabbed the white ball on Buggy's hat, preventing Buggy from moving forward.

"Give up. We've spent so much time with Roger and still haven't been able to convince him," Gaban said, laughing at Buggy.

"How could this be..." Buggy shouted in despair.

Roger stood at the bow, watching Roger's retreating figure. "Have faith in the Golden Jackson that Tom built. Roger doesn't have much time left."

The sky was overcast and covered with dark clouds.

On the opposite side, a pirate ship had a huge golden lion's head on its bow, and "Golden Lion," "Flying Admiral" Shiki stood on the bow, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, with thick, lion-like golden hair.

"I've said this countless times, Roger. Although we had our share of grudges in our youth, let's forget about him," Shiki laughed, pointing ahead. "With the world-destroying weapon you know of, the forces I've gathered, and the perfect plan I've spent years developing, we can rule this world immediately."

Shiki opened his arms and laughed, his body radiating a powerful aura that seemed to devour everything. "Become my right arm, Roger," he said, extending his hand towards Roger.

"I'm not interested in ruling, Shiki." Shiki Roger, clearly rejecting Shiki's offer. "What's the point of being a pirate if you don't do what you want to do?"

"No matter how much pressure you put on me, Golden Lion, I refuse your proposal." Roger laughed, facing the massive Flying Pirates. The Golden Jackson was surrounded, the sea was surging, and hundreds of pirate ships blocked all of Roger Pirates's escape routes.

Without the slightest fear, Roger's companions all stood behind Roger, showing no fear even when facing tens of thousands of enemies.

"Stop talking, Captain! Do you know the enemy has dozens of ships?" Killer Roger's hand.

"So, your answer is that I should kill you right here, right?" Upon hearing Roger's words, Shiki's face darkened. He had already given Roger a lot of face, yet Roger still refused, even though he had somewhat expected it.

"It means I'll crush you all," Roger laughed, preparing for a desperate battle against the Golden Lion's encirclement. The next moment, the ship's main cannon fired, and the cannonballs shot directly in the direction of the Golden Lion, hitting a pirate ship and firing the first shot of the great battle.

The epic battle between the two legendary pirates began immediately.

The entire New World was watching this battle closely, and the Golden Lion's massive fleet could no longer be concealed.

Regardless of who wins or loses, and whatever the final outcome, it will affect the entire situation in the New World. This is a battle between two of the world's top pirate crews.

However, the Roger Pirates' chances of winning against Golden Lion's massive fleet were pitifully small.

"Roger and Golden Lion are about to go to war." Marine warship observed the battle from several kilometers away. "Let them fight first. We'll make our move after they've both been weakened." Sengoku watched the battle in the distance. The sea was turbulent, and the distance made it difficult to see the battle's progress.

Even from afar, one could sense the two terrifying, opposing wills. Looking up at the celestial barrier in the sky, it was hard to imagine how powerful the two were.

In contrast to the solemnity of the Sengoku, Garp laughed heartily, "As expected of Roger and Shiki, hahaha."

They couldn't get any closer, or they would easily be detected, and then they might face a full-scale attack from Great Pirate crews.

Meanwhile, the Moby Dick was also in this area. Keep in mind that Oden was on Roger Pirates's ship, Pops wouldn't let him go unchecked if he was worried about Oden's safety.

In front of the Moby Dick, a row of warships stood in front of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Gurarara, Zephyr, long time no see!" On the giant ship with a whale's head as its prow, the Pops held a child's knife, his terrifying aura of destruction emanating from him as he laughed heartily.

With a giant-like body, flowing golden hair, and his most iconic crescent-shaped Whitebeard, he stood behind powerful pirates, confidently looking at the opposing navy. Facing tens of thousands of marines, he showed not a trace of fear.

They are, after all, the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Newgate, this is not your territory." Zephyr said resolutely, staring intently at Whitebeard.

Lightning Thunderclap and thunder roared; the dark clouds exploded with a deafening roar, then suddenly became bright, crackling and popping!

Rolling clouds swept in, suffocating people. In the sky, a breathtaking scene unfolded: enormous islands stood tall in the heavens, some partially visible through the clouds, others buried within, as if they might fall at any moment.

Amidst the raging storm, massive pirate crews suppressed this vast sea.

Hundreds of pirate ships were filled with pirates, and on the bow of these ships stood their captains, each a powerful figure in the New World with a bounty of at least one hundred million.

In the center of this massive fleet, with nowhere to retreat, was another ship: the Roger Pirates.

"Hehehe, Roger, die!" Golden Lion Shiki stood in the sky, his powerful and Haki looking down at Roger below.

Facing Shiki, Roger couldn't suppress the burst of another equally powerful aura from his body, Conqueror's Haki coating his longsword.

The clash between the two kings brought the entire sea and the world to a standstill, while flashes of dark red lightning illuminated the gloomy world.

Two invincible wills, looking down upon all things, appeared above them, and a celestial barrier split the sky in two, making them seem like the center of the world.

The great battle has begun: Roger's duel with Golden Lion, and the encirclement and attack of Great Pirate targeting Roger Pirates's elite forces: Gaban, Rayleigh, Oden.

The three's terrifying strength held back most of the high-level combatants in the Flying Pirates.

The Flying Pirates also have two right-hand men, one of whom is Shiki, Paramecia Stream-Stream Devil Fruit User known as Shiki's right hand. Rhine is also called "Uranus." He was a scholar in his youth before going to sea to become a pirate. He has a terrifying ability to control air currents, which he has mastered to an Awakening Rhine. He also possesses swordsmanship at the level of a Swordmaster of a master. He is a great contributor to Shiki's expansion of territory.

While he is slightly weaker than Rayleigh in terms of strength, he far surpasses Pluto Rayleigh in terms of destructive power.

Together with two other powerful executives, they besieged Pluto Rayleigh.

There is also the "Thunder Tyrant" Chronos, known as Shiki's left hand. He is a Zoan Mythical Zoan Human-Human Fruit user in Titan form. He possesses the terrifying ability to control storms and thunder, as well as monstrous vitality and physique. He is a master of individual combat.

He was fighting Roger's right-hand man, Gaban, with two other officers joining him in the Gaban.

It's worth mentioning that both of Shiki's hands are quite young, only in their thirties, and have a lot of room for improvement.

Oden was simultaneously besieged by four members of the Flying Pirates, all of whom were Great Pirate with bounties exceeding 400 million.

Two right-hand men and eight executives—these were Golden Lion Shiki's direct subordinates. The remaining powerful members of affiliated pirate crews were all besieging the other members of Roger Pirates.

It must be said that with the Golden Lion's power at its peak and numerous strong subordinates, it is undoubtedly the World's Strongest.
