The Five Elders! The Holy Knights! Rono

"As expected of legendary Great Pirates. They're monsters!"

"This is terrifying! If I'd known it would be like this, I wouldn't have come."

As they spoke, Issho and Aramaki, two powerful fighters from World Government Affiliated Nations, made their moves!

The powers of the Press-Press Fruit and the Woods-Woods Fruit surged forth in succession!

Meteorites fell from the sky!

Vegetation burst through the earth!

In an instant, the two men's powers claimed both the skies above Marineford and the ground below!

Overhead, enormous meteorites came hurtling down, wreathed in scorching flames!

Below, eerie plants spread at breakneck speed, ready to drain anyone's Stamina!

Their attacks blotted out the sky and covered the ground!

Marineford was swallowed in an instant, without a single gap left open!

Even the powerful fighters on the scene were taken aback by Issho's and Aramaki's abilities!

"The Admiral Level fighters from the Affiliated Nations are far stronger than they were 36 years ago!"

"True... but our forces are much stronger than they were at the Battle of God Valley 36 years ago!"

Gaban and Bullet, two legendary pirates who had fought in the Battle of God Valley, smiled and charged Issho and Aramaki!

Swish, swish, swish!

Gaban drew two sharp battle-axes. Unleashing the might of an Emperor-Admiral Level fighter, he sent terrifying arcs of force slashing into the sky!

Crash! Crash!

Several enormous meteorites were sliced apart with ease, and a spectacular rain of stone fell over Marineford!

"They're just plants. Watch this!"

Hum~

Bullet grinned wickedly. A wave of devil-blue energy spread outward—his unique Conqueror's Haki!

In an instant, the Stamina-draining vegetation, dense as a forest, wilted beneath it!

The next moment, Gaban and Bullet clashed with the two Admiral Level fighters, Issho and Aramaki!

"Hahaha! It's been too long since a fight like this!"
