"Look, isn't that the flag of the Hydra Pirates? I never expected them to come here too."
"Who cares about the Hydra Pirates? Look over there—that's the Hellhound Pirates! Their captain, Mad Dog Hagen, is a Supernova with a bounty of 210 million Berries."
"Who cares about some Supernova? Don't you see Trafalgar Law of the Heart Pirates over there, and Eustass Kid of the Kid Pirates over there? Several of the 'Worst Generation' have come too!"
"Forget those rookie pirates. Quite a few pirate crews from the New World have gathered around here as well, all to witness this great battle up close."
For the ordinary people of the Sabaody Archipelago, this place, which was about to become a battlefield, was naturally extremely dangerous. They wished they had two extra legs so they could flee faster.
Yet compared to those who fled, quite a few pirate ships began gathering and remaining around the Sabaody Archipelago.
Over the past hundred years, the pirates, Marines, and World Government had fought countless battles across the sea, both large and small.
Among them, there had only been a few battles that were truly grand and astonishing in scale.
After the battle at God Valley, those who had survived it had all become legendary figures on the sea. Every one of them was undoubtedly a great power who had made a name for themselves.
However, the battle at God Valley had taken place too long ago. Most of the older generation who knew about it had already died, so not many people knew the details.
After Pirate King Roger died, the Great Pirate Era began. In the twenty years that followed, the most astonishing battle in scale was undoubtedly the "Paramount War."
Whitebeard's death in the Paramount War announced the end of an era.
