After the Whitebeard Pirates and the Dark Night Pirates went to war, the New World, which had enjoyed a brief period of calm, was once again thrown into turmoil.
The Red Hair Pirates also began their external expansion.
Having fought the Beasts Pirates for so long previously, this time they simply swapped opponents.
Faced with the Red Hair Pirates invading her territory, that old hag Big Mom almost wanted to cry.
Could the two of you stop bullying people like this?
Would it ever end?!
On the other side, the Beasts Pirates were not having a very comfortable time either. Although no pirates of the same caliber came to steal their territory, their stronghold, Wano Country, had been somewhat chaotic lately.
For some reason, groups of samurai constantly emerged recently to resist them.
Though they suppressed them easily, it happened far too many times, and Kaido had no spare time lately.
That battle-maniac Bullet had come to challenge him again.
As a fellow battle-maniac, Kaido was naturally more than happy to figure out who was stronger with him.
Just like that, these overlords of the New World once again churned the New World into a mess.
This chaotic situation lasted for two years, and these two years came to be known as the Year of Chaos!
It was precisely after these two years that the landscape of the New World finally took shape.
Five great pirate crews stood out, dominating the New World, and were collectively referred to as the Five Emperors!
