ONE PIECE: THE GREAT VOYAGE

Now, he is a veritable general.

Of course, Issho is not the only one with the upper hand now…

There is another figure, and although his opponent's ability is incredibly troublesome—capable of sapping his strength if he is not careful—he still holds a certain advantage.

As the war grows increasingly intense, the ultimate disruptor, Kaido, storms in!

The entire world turns its attention to this truly cataclysmic conflict.

Every powerful individual, alongside major factions from across the seas, watches in stunned silence as this battle unfolds.

The Caesar Pirates, leading a newly formed fleet of over 20,000 men, face off against the Marine Headquarters, commanded directly by Fleet Admiral Kong. The elite forces of the Marines, numbering in the tens of thousands, are fully mobilized.

How could such a grand spectacle not ignite global curiosity?

At this moment, the highest echelons of the World Government, senior Marine officials stationed at Marineford, and commanders from various branch bases are glued to their Den Den Mushi broadcast screens.

If this were an ordinary mission, they might have ignored it.

But this battle directly impacts their reputation and authority.

More importantly, the enemy is Caesar, the man carrying the highest active bounty in the world!

Ironically, the World Government officials, despite their immense power, find themselves watching Caesar's own broadcast channel—the Middle Kingdom Channel—because it provides better signal quality, more camera angles, and smoother screen transitions.

In a way, this situation is quite embarrassing.

Meanwhile, across the seas, legendary figures are also paying attention.

Gol D. Roger, Edward Newgate (Whitebeard), Shiki the Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin (Big Mom), and Kaido—all emperors or potential emperors of their time—sit within their respective territories, watching a war that rivals even the God Valley Incident in scale and significance.

Strictly speaking, this isn't yet a full-scale world war, but given the sheer number of elite combatants and the forces deployed by both sides, the label "Top War" is well-deserved!

This is no mere clash between pirates and the Navy. This is a war between two organized military factions, fought with strategy, discipline, and overwhelming firepower.

The expressions of these top powerhouses remain unreadable—except for one.

Kaido.

Excitement flares in his eyes as he watches the Den Den Mushi broadcast. His massive hand grips a sake cup, and after taking a deep swig, he suddenly bursts into thunderous laughter.

"BAH HA HA HA! HOW CAN A WAR THIS FUN NOT HAVE ME IN IT?!"

"No! Absolutely not!"

With a drunken grin, Kaido's massive frame rises. In one swift motion, his body begins to shift and expand, his skin turning into shimmering azure scales.

With a powerful roar, he fully transforms into his Azure Dragon form, his monstrous body coiling into the sky.

The sheer pressure of his presence makes those around him tremble in fear.

Seeing this, King (Jhin)—Kaido's trusted right-hand man—immediately reacts.

His expression darkens as he unfurls his massive black wings, his body igniting in flames as he takes off in pursuit.

He knows his captain far too well.

Kaido is impulsive, reckless, and completely uninterested in the political consequences of his actions.

This war is no joke!

The sheer number of top-tier fighters present in this battle is nearly on par with God Valley.

And unlike that chaotic incident—where many participants were simply skirmishing for survival—this time, both factions are fully committed to annihilating each other.

Moreover, this is a war between two different Navy factions.

If a pirate like Kaido recklessly barges in, the battlefield will spiral into complete chaos.

From a tactical standpoint, the Beasts Pirates are still in their expansion phase.

If Kaido gets involved now, he could provoke both factions and risk future retaliation from the entire Marine force.

Realizing this, King accelerates, desperately trying to stop his captain.

But his strength is still not enough.

Kaido is already at the level of a true emperor, and in the end, King fails to hold him back.

Still, he believes that even if Kaido does interfere, things won't go completely out of control.

At the very least, someone needs to remain behind to protect the Beasts Pirates' territory.

With a sigh, King stops in mid-air, watching Kaido disappear into the distance before reluctantly returning.

Meanwhile, back on the battlefield, the war rages on!

Steel Bone Kong, the Fleet Admiral, is proving why he holds his title. His body, honed to perfection, is a fortress of muscle and power. He has mastered the Rokushiki techniques to an extreme level, and his Haki-infused strikes are nothing short of devastating.

Yet, his opponent is none other than Caesar, a man infamous for his overwhelming physical prowess, swordsmanship, and devil fruit mastery.

The battle between them transcends mere brawling—it is a three-dimensional war, fought on land, sea, and air with constant strategic shifts.

Kong is shocked.

Caesar's Armament Haki, once considered a weakness, has now reached the highest level.

And the training method? Brutal.

Much like how Garp shattered mountains with his fists, Caesar used his ability to compress an entire mountain into an indestructible iron mass and repeatedly struck it with his bare hands!

It was a reckless, insane method—but undeniably effective.

KABOOM!

Kong clenches his fists, feeling the impact from their latest clash. His expression darkens.

"Damn it… His Haki is even stronger than what Sengoku and Garp described!"

"Caesar, this time… I'm taking your head!"

Another thunderous collision erupts between them!

Even Fleet Admiral Kong, a man who has battled legends, grits his teeth.

But he cannot afford to lose—he represents the entire Marine Headquarters.

Nearby, another duel unfolds.

Issho (Fujitora) vs. Sengoku.

Years ago, when Issho joined the Central Navy, Sengoku had already tested his strength.

Back then, Issho showed promise but wasn't considered top-tier.

Now, things have changed.

Sengoku, in his Golden Buddha form, hovers in mid-air, watching Issho with a serious expression.

"It seems you've grown, blind tiger…"

The battlefield is engulfed in the glow of Haki-infused slashes and gravity waves as their battle intensifies.

Meanwhile, on another front—

Garp vs. Douglas Bullet.

A battle of pure brute strength.

Though Bullet ranks among the top five combatants present, Garp stands at the pinnacle—second only to Caesar himself.

It's a brutal, relentless slugfest.

Bullet is thrilled.

If this were land, he would have used his Fusion-Fruit abilities to their fullest.

But on the open sea, he is forced into a pure hand-to-hand duel—and he loves it!

Apart from Caesar, Garp is the only man who has ever excited him this much in battle.

Meanwhile, Vice Admiral Tsuru fights Gnali.

Though Gnali holds an advantage, Tsuru's Wash-Wash Fruit ability remains an unpredictable threat, capable of neutralizing even formidable opponents.

Across the battlefield, elite Marine Vice Admirals and Caesar's top commanders clash fiercely.

With each passing hour, the war becomes more gruesome.

A full twenty-four hours have passed.

The top combatants still stand tall, their will unbroken.

Yet, this war is far from over.

And now…

Kaido has arrived.
