Afterwards, in the New World, in the Chaotic Seas: Ed Warhead.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared, plunging the world into darkness. An endless flood overturned the entire sky, shaking the earth!

Thousands of meters in the air, the dark lightning layer parted, and one after another, enormous islands, as if they came from the heavens, fell down. Terrifying winds and waves swept around, and the entire space crackled like thunder.

The visual subversion is simply miraculous.

As the rain fell, massive pirate fleets swept across the seas, creating endless waves.

Thousands of enormous ships were filled with pirates. At a glance, one could see that on the helm of each ship stood one of the strongest, with the lowest level being hundreds of millions.

The sea parted, the wind howled, and beneath the endless thunder, a pirate crew rose and fell on the vast ocean; each person standing aboard was capable of overturning the sea.

"Hehehehe Roger."

A kingly Haki, reigning supreme above all, a domineering man descended and stood atop everyone's heads.

"Shiki."

As it rose into the air, a similarly majestic and domineering voice, powerful and awe-inspiring, resonated throughout the land.

The two collided with a terrifying roar!

"Click-clack"

The world fell silent, then a dark red bolt of lightning suddenly flashed, illuminating the entire dim world.

The world was turned upside down; a barrier split open, and looking up, the entire sky was torn apart.

Moving mountains and filling seas, the enormous radiation spreads for thousands of miles, like mountains pressing down on the entire ocean.

Two invincible, arrogant wills stirred up disaster, and the center of the world seemed to revolve around them.

A massive storm, obscuring the clouds, swept in.

Millions of meters away, warships, flying the naval banner of justice, moved slowly. Suddenly, the sky darkened, lightning flashed, and a violent storm raged.

An irresistible will weighed heavily on everyone's shoulders.

"Roger and Shiki have clashed."

On the lead warship, Sengoku, wearing a navy overcoat, felt the earth shaking and those two familiar wills, his expression solemn.

"To be able to sense Ed Warhead from this far away, Roger and Shiki are truly remarkable, haha."

In contrast to the solemnity of the Sengoku, Garp was laughing heartily.

Standing to the side, Ye Chen looked up at the two-thirds of the sky below, where streaks of dark red lightning were falling. He couldn't help but clench his fists. With just his willpower, he could cause a catastrophic change in the qi, which could then radiate for tens of millions of meters. This was the mark of a top-tier expert.

I'm far from good enough.

"Damn Gol D. Roger, Golden Lion, I will personally send them to prison!"

Sakazuki, standing next to Ye Chen, had a gloomy face and gritted his teeth. Even though he knew he was no match for them, he believed that one day he would send these heinous criminals to prison.

The fact that Ye Chen and Sakazuki are here means that Borsalino and Kuzan are with Zephyr to stop the Whitebeard Pirates.

To be honest, Ye Chen admired Sakazuki very much, because in the Navy, whoever was the most righteous and upright was none other than Sakazuki. In fact, Sakazuki was the true Navy man.

When Ye Chen was watching the anime, he really hated Sakazuki. But after coming to this world and witnessing its distortion and morbidity, Ye Chen sincerely admired Sakazuki.

Borsalino is shrewd and self-protective; Kuzan is lazy and only cares about the justice in front of him; only Sakazuki is the purest, though he is very extreme, but in this twisted world, he seems so ordinary.

Among all the navy personnel, Ye Chen looked down on Garp the most.

That's right. Besides strength, in Ye Chen's eyes, Garp was the most disgusting person. Although he wasn't qualified to comment, that was Ye Chen's opinion.

As a user of Conqueror's Haki, regardless of the reason he stays in the Navy, the justice he upholds is determined by his mood and entirely by his whims.

Furthermore, it is even more unfortunate for him to be Garp's friend and family member.

As a friend, if Zephyr were to be murdered later, wouldn't Garp, with his strength and status, have done something? Yet, he stood by and watched, choosing to turn a blind eye for the sake of so-called justice and the stability of the Navy.

There may have been feelings of guilt, but it cannot be denied that it was unfortunate for Zephyr.

As family members, the son neglected his upbringing for many years and failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father; the grandson is even more tragic, perhaps he supported him behind the scenes and solved many problems, but it still cannot make up for his incompetence as a grandfather.

He even went so far as to raise his rival's child, completely unaware that when Roger ushered in the Pirate Era, countless people lost their lives and families in the ensuing catastrophe.

This is no more than a human tragedy.

You raised him with the affection you forged through battle, treating Ace like your own grandson. Yet, during the Summit War, you turned a blind eye once again, watching helplessly as your grandson died before your very eyes.

Perhaps there are many reasons, but that doesn't change the fact that Garp sacrificed his family for the sake of so-called justice.

It seems noble and righteous, even to the point of sacrificing family ties; but if a person can't even protect their own family, what right do they have to protect others?

If given a choice, Ye Chen believed that no one would want to be a family member who is so noble and capable of sacrificing their own family for the greater good.

Humans are inherently selfish; fairness is a joke.

Justice? What is justice in this world? Might makes right. Garp knows all too well how much darkness the World Government has, yet he is willing to be driven by it!

Everyone sees things differently, and no one can judge another, including Ye Chen.

Moreover, Ye Chen doesn't even have the qualifications right now, but that's just how his senses are.

In this world, everyone is guilty; the difference lies in the degree of guilt.

If there is anyone in the world who is utterly wicked, it is Roger.

Roger seemed to have ushered in a new era, but few knew how many corpses were buried, how much blood was shed, and how many families were torn apart because of it.

Many, numerous, countless.

When he watched anime back then, he only saw the positive and exciting parts, but now, Ye Chen can only sneer.

In this dog-eat-dog world, everything is abnormal, and everyone is guilty, including Ye Chen, who is also a heinous criminal.

In this world, there is no right or wrong, because it is inherently distorted. And no one has the right to condemn the right or wrong of others, because those who do have the right are those with the strongest fists.

And these fist-sized creatures were surrounded by piles of white bones.

Ye Chen had long understood what kind of world this was, so he knew exactly what he needed: power.

Only by acquiring power can he possess other things.

To put it bluntly, everyone looks out for themselves.

Therefore, no one dares to claim that they are kind and righteous, because the ability to think implies the presence of emotions, and the presence of emotions implies the presence of selfishness.

This is what they call intelligent beings, what they call humanity, this is what they call reality!
