One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

Golden Lion might still have some reservations about Whitebeard and Big Mom himself (after all, he also knows that he has not yet fully recovered to his peak).

But they showed no restraint towards their vassals.

He wielded the islands like a moving natural disaster, attacking the ports, warehouses, and fleets of these forces.

The Float-Float Fruit grants him unparalleled freedom of movement, rendering conventional defenses by the Navy and pirates utterly ineffective. He doesn't seek long-term dominance.

They pursued only the ultimate destruction and slaughter, deeply instilling fear into the hearts of their enemies.

His hatred for the navy reached its peak.

If it weren't for the Navy, Garp, and Sengoku, he wouldn't have been arrested and imprisoned, suffering the pain of confinement.

In the end, he had no choice but to reconcile with that kid Roy.

Therefore, the naval bases in the New World, especially large branches such as G-1 and G-2, became his primary targets.

He "lifted" several naval warships from the sea, floated them into the air, and then crashed them into the base;

The supply convoy was either completely looted or destroyed.

The patrol fleet was frequently annihilated by attacks that came from the sky...

The Golden Lion appeared and disappeared unpredictably, using air superiority to relentlessly attack the navy.

This put the New World's navy in an extremely passive position, suffering heavy losses and low morale.

In just two months, the Golden Lion single-handedly turned the first half of the New World upside down.

His infamous reputation once again resounded throughout the seas, even more terrifying than before his arrest.

Many pirates turn pale at the mere mention of "Golden Lion," and some weaker forces have even voluntarily withdrawn from the relevant waters.

The Navy's situation in the New World was once precarious, with several branches facing imminent danger.

The supply lines are on the verge of collapse, and there seems to be a trend of them being completely driven out of the new world.

Faced with such a critical situation, the Navy Headquarters had no choice but to once again resort to its "stabilizing force".

Naval hero Monkey D. Garp has been ordered to rush to the aid of the New World!

Garp, aboard the dog-headed warship, arrived at the G-1 branch, where the situation was most critical, at top speed.

His arrival greatly boosted the morale of the naval forces at the front lines.

Although the Golden Lion is arrogant, he is still very wary of his old rival, Garp.

The two had clashed many times over the years and knew each other inside and out.

Garp's terrifying physical skills, which ignore Devil Fruit abilities, his Armament Haki, and his rich combat experience...

It is one of the nemesis of ability users like Golden Lion.

After taking office, Garp did not rush to find the Golden Lion for a decisive battle. Instead, he first stabilized the defense of the G-1 and G-2 branches and reorganized the supply and patrol system.

He was stationed at the central command, and with his powerful Observation Haki and battlefield intuition, he repeatedly predicted the Golden Lion's attack routes.

By setting ambushes or providing timely support, they thwarted several important sabotage operations by the Golden Lion.

Although the two did not engage in a death match, Garp's forceful intervention...

It effectively curbed the Golden Lion's rampant destruction and re-stabilized the Navy's front lines in the New World.

Golden Lion realized that with that old guy Garp around, it would be much less likely that he could easily crush the Navy as before.

While he was not afraid of Garp, he had to admit that he couldn't do anything to this "mad dog," and that going toe-to-toe with Garp was not a wise move.

Moreover, he has largely achieved his main objectives—to regroup, demonstrate military strength, and recruit subordinates.

Therefore, the Golden Lion's mode of action began to change.

He no longer frequently attacked heavily guarded naval bases.

He then focused on integrating the pirate forces that had been subdued by his military might, and recruiting newcomers who had come seeking his services.

He rebuilt the "Flying Pirates" headquarters around several islands that he had modified with his abilities and that could float and move, creating a formidable force.

The new world order was shaped by the powerful return and frenzied revenge of the Golden Lion.

It became more complex and fraught with danger. A hegemon of an old era...

The dramatic announcement of their return has undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of this newly begun "Great Pirate Era".

And one of the reasons for all of this was Roy, the young man who released him from Impel Down.

He is currently on Beehive Island, calmly observing the vast ocean that has become even more magnificent because of him.

The New World is in turmoil due to the chaos caused by Shiki the Golden Lion and the rise of new forces such as Roy and Kaido.

The aftershocks of this upheaval inevitably impacted the core of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.

The atmosphere in the Admiral's office in Marineford was heavier than ever before.

Even the steel-boned air marshal, the supreme commander of the navy known for his fortitude and toughness, could not hide his fatigue and heaviness on his face at this moment.

A thick report lay spread out before him, detailing a series of major setbacks and blows the navy had suffered in recent months:

The worst prison break in Impel Down's history (the Golden Lion and the Red Earl escape), Enies Lobby's reputation is shattered.

The "Great Pirate Era" frenzy sparked by Roger's execution, and the devastating losses and out-of-control situation in the New World caused by Shiki's return...

Each one of these incidents is a stain and crisis worthy of being recorded in naval history.

As a naval admiral, he bears an unshirkable leadership responsibility.

The immense pressure comes from all sides:

The Five Elders' stern rebuke and questioning, and the growing discontent within the Navy (especially regarding the high command's ineffective response and the impending implementation of a certain policy).

And then there are the seemingly endless requests for help and emergency letters from all over the world...

Finally, in another emergency communication with the Five Elders,

After enduring an hour of stern questioning, Steelbone made its decision.

After a few days,

A high-level naval meeting was held at headquarters.

Attendees included newly appointed Admirals "Akainu" Sakazuki, "Kizaru" Borsalino, and "Aokiji" Kuzan; Admiral candidates Gion (Momosuke) and Kake (Chaton); Chief of Staff Vice Admiral Tsuru; Science Unit Director Vegapunk (Communications Advisor); and several senior vice admirals.

Steelbone sat empty-handed in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over the assembled generals. He spoke slowly, his voice hoarse.

"Gentlemen, you are all aware of the Navy's recent predicament. As the Marshal, I cannot shirk my responsibility."

The conference room was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

"therefore,"

Steelbone Kong took a deep breath, his tone resolute.

"I have submitted my resignation to the World Government, resigning from my position as Admiral of the Navy."

The World Government has appointed the former Admiral, "The Strategist" Sengoku, as the new Fleet Admiral, effective immediately.

Despite prior rumors, when Cyborg Kong personally announced it,

A subtle commotion still stirred in the conference room. An era had ended.

The era of the Steel-Boned Air Marshal came to an end, accompanied by a series of enormous failures and challenges.

Kong looked at Sengoku beside him, whose face was solemn, and nodded.

Sengoku stood up, saluted Steel Bone Sky, and then turned to the crowd.
