The Victor of the Summit War!

"Everyone, escort Mr. Rayleigh away from here to find the Captain and Lucky Roux."

Ben Beckman's crimson eyes stared calmly at Kizaru as he gave orders to his companions.

"Leave this to me."

Upon hearing the First Mate's order, the crew members of the Red-Haired Pirates, despite their reluctance, chose to evacuate.

"What an arrogant statement, Ben Beckman."

Kizaru clasped his hands together and pulled them outwards, condensing the [Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi] into his palms.

"You mean you can stop me all by yourself?"

Kizaru gripped the [Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi] with both hands and effortlessly slashed forward.

A figure suddenly rushed out from beside Ben Beckman.

Rayleigh, wielding the naval sword he had just picked up from the battlefield, blocked Kizaru's [Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi].

Clang--

A crisp sound, like metal clashing, carried far and wide.

Pluton Rayleigh's saber steadily blocked Kizaru's lightsaber.

"Pluton Rayleigh..."

Kizaru ignored the First Mate of the Red-Haired Pirates beside him, and instead frowned as he looked at the Old Era pirates in front of him.

"Is it your turn? That's quite unexpected~"

Kizaru had assumed that Rayleigh would obediently follow Ben Beckman's instructions and evacuate the Marine Branch base with the main force of the Red-Haired Pirates.

But he didn't expect that Pluton Rayleigh would actually take on the task of "covering the rear".

Are there such selfless individuals among pirates?

"The New World now belongs to them."

Rayleigh parried the attack with his Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi, a few beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead, but he still wore a smile.

The "they" he was referring to were, of course, the members of the Red-Haired Pirates.

"I don't want to see a bunch of kids sacrifice themselves for an old man like me."

"Their era has only just begun."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Red-Haired Pirates immediately turned their heads.

"Mr. Rayleigh ..."

"Senior Rayleigh!"

"Squeak--"

Many members were emotional, and the sounds of monkeys could be heard mixed in.

Clearly, the monkey from the Red-Haired Pirates, "Mengshida," understood Rayleigh's meaning and was so moved that it squeaked and cried out.

"This is really interesting~"

Kizaru wielded the [Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi] in his hand, slashing continuously at Pluton Rayleigh in front of him, the golden light sword unleashing dazzling streaks of sword light in mid-air.

"When did this sea usher in the 'era of pirates'?"

Rayleigh broke out in a cold sweat, but he still swung his saber as hard as he could, trying to block Kizaru's attack.

His physical condition was not at its peak, and the injuries to his arms had not improved.

At this point, trying to fight Kizaru using Swordsmanship would be incredibly difficult for Rayleigh.

Even so.

Rayleigh gritted his teeth and continued to swing his sword, parry, swing again, and parry again.

He focused all his energy on defensive sword techniques, not seeking to defeat, but only to delay.

"You brats from the Red-Haired Pirates! Run!"

Ding ding ding--

The saber and lightsaber clashed repeatedly, producing a continuous, crisp clanging sound.

At that moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out amidst the clash of swords.

Bang!

"Bullet Penetration!"

Ben Beckman gripped his flintlock pistol, aimed it at Kizaru, and pulled the trigger.

Bullets imbued with Armament Haki immediately shot towards Kizaru, disrupting his current offensive rhythm.

Kizaru clearly sensed that the Armament Haki bullet was aimed precisely at his forehead.

He immediately transformed into a flash of light, dodging the deadly Armament Haki bullet.

This was also due to the attack from that Armament Haki bullet.

Kizaru had to temporarily leave Rayleigh's side, inadvertently giving this Old Pirate of the Old Era some breathing room.

"Huff... huff..."

Rayleigh held a military knife in his hand, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his heavy breathing like that of an old ox.

Kizaru just now showed no mercy or leniency; he genuinely intended to capture this Old Pirate of the Old Era on the spot!

Facing a Kizaru is completely serious.

Rayleigh had only managed to buy himself a little time before he felt his energy draining away like water being released from a dam.

But what made Rayleigh very happy was...

The Red-Haired Pirates didn't linger on the battlefield; instead, they turned and left without hesitation.

Captain Shanks and top officer Lucky Roux temporarily withdrew from the battle.

Yasopp led the remaining crew toward the edge of Island 66.

Ben Beckman was in charge of covering the rear.

At this very moment.

Yasopp, leading the rest of the Red-Haired Pirates, has escaped the Marine Branch base.

Ben Beckman was also gradually retreating.

However, Ben Beckman's movement speed was very slow, and he had already put a considerable distance between himself and the main force of the Red-Haired Pirates.

In comparison.

Ben Beckman was much closer to Rayleigh than he was to his fellow crew members.

"Are the Red-Haired Pirates planning to run away? Of course they are!"

Hidden in a corner of the Marine Branch base, the Big News Bird Morgans, holding Live Broadcast Den Den Mushi broadcast camera away from the battle between Buddha Form and Red Dragon, focusing instead on the Red-Haired Pirates were making a great evacuation.

"The fourth Pirate Emperor of the New World, Shanks, and his Red-Haired Pirates!"

"Although the Red-Haired Pirates carved out a large territory in the New World despite being fought by terrifying monsters like Whitebeard, Beasts, and Big Mom."

"But this is the Sabaody Archipelago, Red-Haired Pirates are facing the true kings of the sea!"

"Marine Headquarters!"

"And there's also... the Red Dragon Emperor!"

Morgans pointed the live stream camera at the Red-Haired Pirates, filming and commentating simultaneously, his style perfectly reflecting his identity as a "journalist".

"The moment the Red Dragon Emperor appeared, he announced the arrival of the Summit War!"

"He first killed Lucky Roux—one of the three top officers of the Red-Haired Pirates."

"Even the famous Pirate Emperor, Red-Haired Shanks, is no match for the Red Dragon Emperor!"

"The Red-Haired Pirates are now down to just Ben Beckman and Yasopp, two of their top officers."

"Is the Red-Haired Pirates just reached the top of the New World this year, going to be completely wiped out today?"

Morgans's commentary was incredibly exaggerated.

But it is precisely this exaggerated rhetoric that leaves a deep impression on the viewers of this live broadcast.

All the viewers watching Morgans' live commentary had only two concepts on their minds.

The Red-Haired Pirates are destroyed!

The Red Dragon Emperor ascends to the top!

As for Pluton Silvers Rayleigh, who should have been the absolute protagonist of this execution, he was subconsciously overlooked by the audience.

The Red-Haired Pirates fought their way out, and were on the verge of escaping the area of Island 66.

The figures that had stood like statues in the Sky Garden finally moved at this moment.

"Hehehe--"

The Golden Lion II descended from the Sky Garden with an arrogant, maniacal laugh.

He drew the famous Famous Sword [Sakazuki] hanging from his waist, its sharp tip pointing directly at the sea near the Sabaody Archipelago below.

The endless seawater in the ocean immediately floated upwards under the power of the [Float-Float Fruit].

The endless seawater transformed into a colossal wave hundreds of meters high, resembling a super tsunami from mythology capable of destroying the world.

The enormous shadow cast by the tsunami covered Island 66 obscured everyone on it.

The shock of the fleeing pirates and the pursuing marines was palpable.

Even Morgans, who was broadcasting live, was completely speechless after witnessing this scene.

Is Golden Lion II going to destroy the entire Sabaody Archipelago?!

Under Rhein's manipulation of the [Float-Float Fruit].

A colossal tsunami, carrying a destructive and violent force, crashed down on the Red-Haired Pirates located on the edge of Island 66, its terrifying power seemingly threatening to sink the entire Sabaody Archipelago into the sea.

Yasopp and the rest of the Red-Haired Pirates were completely blank-minded; with their abilities and methods, they had absolutely no way to stop a tsunami of this magnitude.

How could we fall here?

Yasopp regained his senses in time. He gritted his teeth, raised his sniper rifle, and instantly aimed at the Golden Lion II in the sky.

"Once the Devil Fruit User is dealt with, the tsunami will be averted!"

Bang!

Yasopp the trigger instantly, and the bullet, also imbued with Armament Haki, shot directly at Golden Lion II in the sky.

Golden Lion II glanced indifferently at Yasopp, merely waving the [Sakazuki] in his hand.

A golden Flying Slash descended from the sky, cleaving through the bullet wrapped in Armament Haki with unstoppable force, and continued its attack on the main force of the Red-Haired Pirates below.

Ben Beckman, who was helping Rayleigh out of a predicament, foresaw the possible consequences of this Flying Slash and turned around without hesitation, aiming at the huge sword energy in the sky and pulling the trigger.

Bang!

Another bullet, imbued with Armament Haki, flew through the air.

But Ben Beckman's Haki presence is clearly far more powerful than Yasopp's.

His "Bullet Penetration" attack directly shattered the Flying Slash that was descending from the sky.

But that's all he did.

Rumble--

A cataclysmic tsunami descended upon Island 66, instantly submerging the entire island with endless seawater. The powerful impact completely destroyed the Marine Branch base on the island.

Golden flashes continued to flicker, and dark bat shadows fluttered their wings.

Those fighting inside the Marine Branch base used every means at their disposal to escape the island, which was being submerged by the sea, as quickly as possible.

However, some Devil Fruit User were unable to escape in time.

For example, Marine Headquarters Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Sengoku is currently fighting against Storm!

When Golden Lion II unleashed a massive tsunami.

Sengoku continued his fight against the Red Dragon.

Wait until the seawater completely submerges it.

Sengoku was about to use [Geppo] to fly out of Island 66.

But Storm directly stopped the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters.

Before the Sengoku could even struggle...

A second figure leaped down from the Sky Garden.

Whitebeard the Second. raised his right hand and summoned thousands of bolts of lightning from the void.

"Thousand Lightning!"

A continuous bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking directly into the tsunami below.

What was originally just a simple "physical attack" at the sea level.

Now, Whitebeard the Second.'s [Rumble-Rumble Fruit] has directly transformed it into a "magical attack" imbued with lightning!

The instant Whitebeard the Second.'s "Thousand Lightning" struck, the violent lightning was directly channeled into the seawater. The silvery-white currents surged wildly through the water, indiscriminately attacking everyone who was being submerged.

The Sengoku was held back by the Red Dragon.

As Devil Fruit User of the [Great Buddha Fruit], he has no resistance to seawater.

At this moment, violent lightning was introduced into the seawater.

Sengoku felt completely paralyzed and unable to move.

A Fleet Admiral, in the end, only ended up with his eyes rolled back and him losing consciousness.

[Moonlight Trophy: Marine Headquarters Fleet Admiral Sengoku]

[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★★★]

A magnificent Eight-Star Big Trophy appeared out of thin air.

However, a large number of low-star Big Trophy then appeared.

The "Thunder Tsunami" offensive launched by Golden Lion II. and Whitebeard the Second. in perfect coordination was not only aimed at Devil Fruit User.

The remaining Devil Fruit User were also paralyzed by the lightning and unable to move until they were submerged by the sea.

Countless Big Trophy leaped out of the void, dazzling the eye for a moment.

The Eight-Star Big Trophy represented by [Fleet Admiral · Sengoku] is just the most conspicuous one among them.

Storm merely glanced at it before spotting another six-star Big Trophy leaping out of the void.

[Diamond Trophy: Big News - Morgans]

[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★]

'Big News Bird? When did this silly bird appear in Sabaody Archipelago?'

A few questions flashed through Storm's mind, but he quickly dismissed them.

He temporarily put away these countless [Big Trophy].

Tsunamis come quickly and go quickly.

As soon as Whitebeard the Second.'s "Thousand Lightning" ended.

Golden Lion II then manipulated a tsunami to escape from the Sabaody Archipelago.

What came into Storm's view was a devastated Island 66.

A "thunderous tsunami" almost completely wiped out the battlefield.

The last Den Live Broadcast Den Den Mushi, still diligently working, transmitted the live broadcast across the entire ocean, but it too soon lost consciousness.

The last scene that viewers can see in the ocean is--

Red Dragon stood alone on the Sabaody Archipelago, with the life or death of the Fleet Admiral lying at his feet, and further away, figures convulsing and unable to rise again.

From this last image of the live broadcast.

The key information that viewers can glean from the ocean is--

The Summit War is over!

The Pirate Emperor and the Fleet Admiral have died one after another!

The final victor of this war was--

The fifth Pirate Emperor of the New World!

Red Dragon Emperor!

First update.

There will be more tonight.
