In the deathly silent world, someone let out a sob, like a frog startled awake in a summer pond, followed by countless croaks.

Moments later, the whole world was in an uproar.

"They...they actually killed a Celestial Dragon!?"

"It's all over!!! The sky is falling!!!"

"God, please, let this world continue to be peaceful!"

"I knew it! I knew it!!! The Celestial Dragons aren't gods at all. If I had been braver back then, my sister wouldn't have..."

"Hahaha~ As expected of a member of a Yonko pirate crew, you're really making a name for yourself! Men, today is the day to make a name for yourselves, quickly find out where the Celestial Dragons are!?"

"Um... Boss, should we wait and see? What if Fire Fist Ace dies tomorrow?!"

"Wait a minute, does this mean the Whitebeard Pirates are going to declare war on the World Government!?"

"........."

"........."

As the Celestial Dragon's corpse crashed heavily to the ground, the entire world erupted into chaos, as if a giant rock had been dropped onto a calm lake.

……

……

"Declaration of war?!"

"Gulalalalala~"

"So what if it's a declaration of war!?"

As the live stream, hosted by Ace, slowly came to an end, Whitebeard burst into a hearty and unrestrained laugh.

This was almost the loudest laugh he'd had in a long time!

Suddenly, he waved his hand, his domineering aura soaring to the heavens:

"Children, trust in Ace's wisdom!"

"Let's not go there and cause trouble."

"Everyone, change course! Head for Marineford!!!"

At that moment, Whitebeard's eyes blazed with flames of hatred.

Since the navy is so ruthless and wants to kill him, he naturally won't be polite to them either.

With most of the navy's forces now deployed to the Sky Island, the Navy Headquarters is naturally left without a defensive presence.

This is the perfect opportunity for them to retaliate against the navy!

The deaths of Celestial Dragons, while not altering the world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall structure of the world) or affecting the strength of the World Government and the Navy, served as an appetizer and a fuse, completely shattering the sacred and inviolable barrier of the Celestial Dragons and triggering countless major events that followed.

Therefore, in future records and descriptions by major media outlets, they will all refer to this day as – "the beginning of a new era"!

……

……

of course.

The events in Qinghai and the future will not affect Sky Island at this moment.

With Kizaru's arrival and the objective already achieved, Ace hastily ended this world-shaking live stream.

Despite its somewhat anticlimactic ending, this does not diminish the impact of the live broadcast on the world.

"Is it over?"

A beam of golden light flashed, and Kizaru's figure suddenly appeared directly above the execution platform as if by teleportation.

Looking at the Celestial Dragon's corpse lying on the ground bleeding, his wrinkled face remained calm and expressionless, only his eyes flickered with an inexplicable expression.

Things are getting complicated.

Kizaru shook his head in distress, then turned his gaze to Ace on the ground and the other Straw Hat crew members disguised as Akatsuki.

"Now it seems that only by taking your bodies back can we shut those officials up."

"Is the big one coming!?"

Looking at Kizaru in the sky, Zoro flicked his longsword, wiping away the blood and grime above him, and the corners of his mouth under his mask involuntarily turned up.

Marine Admiral Kizaru Borsalino is a user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, which allows him to transform his body into light. With the help of his fruit's power, he even possesses a speed more terrifying than Enel's.

Long ago, Red had already compiled the intelligence from the Navy into a document and distributed it to the Straw Hat crew.

Apart from Luffy using the documents as a tool for folding paper airplanes, the other people's understanding of the Navy now far exceeds that of ordinary maritime forces.

Therefore, they did not show much shock when they saw Kizaru arrive.

According to Akane's analysis, the Navy is most likely to send... this Admiral Kizaru!

Clang!

Without the slightest hesitation, Zoro immediately assumed the Three-Sword Style stance, his sharp longsword aimed at Kizaru in mid-air.

"Three-Sword Style: Flying Dragon Flame!!!"

bake!!!

Aww~!

A faint dragon's roar suddenly echoed from the void.

The next second, blazing flames swept out in the shape of a giant dragon, roaring as it flew towards Kizaru in the sky.

The fiery dragon was incredibly fast, and almost instantly devoured Kizaru.

But Zoro, who was no longer the same Zoro who would be driven to a dead end by Hawkeye's knife, immediately frowned and looked at the sky on the other side.

"So fast!"

He exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't see him dodge at all!"

The dragon's flames soared into the sky, scattering countless clouds before slowly dissipating and disappearing from sight.

"Yo yo yo~ Before we even met, you launched an attack on me."

"What a terrifying guy!"

Kizaru, suspended high in the sky, uttered a remark that was distinctly his own.

Just then, a dimensional portal suddenly appeared behind Kizaru.

Having entered Flame Knight mode, Sanji traversed the void and instantly appeared behind Kizaru.

"Take this, Navy!"

"Devil's Wind Kick - Beef Shank STRIKE!!!"

boom!!!

The same blazing flames once again enveloped Kizaru's body, turning the entire sky a crimson red.

Such a powerful attack would be difficult for even a pirate with a net worth of hundreds of millions to withstand.

However, the next moment, Sanji's figure suddenly passed through Kizaru's body, as if he had kicked through the air, and continued to charge towards the ground below.

"How is that possible!?"

Sanji's face suddenly showed a look of amazement.

His body, under the force of gravity, slammed into the side of the execution platform, creating a huge, charred crater in the hard ground.

Sanji, having missed his first attack, immediately stood up and jumped out of the pit.

The lips beneath the mask were pursed.

He's not an idiot.

Facing a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, he naturally incorporated a sufficient amount of Armament Haki into his attack just now.

However, the result was the same as when an ordinary person hits a Logia-type Devil Fruit user; the object passed right through Kizaru's body.

This means that...

The opponent had already detected their attack and had prepared to transform into their own elemental form.

"This enemy is no ordinary guy."

tread!

Zoro jumped off the execution platform and came to Sanji's side. The two looked at each other through their masks and nodded in unison.

Immediately, the two figures unleashed a terrifying aura once more, attacking Kizaru from the left and right.

Everyone says that Zoro understands Luffy the most, and Sanji understands Zoro the most.

However, in this world, the appearance of Crimson took away Zoro's position as the hidden first mate, and also relieved him of many responsibilities...

In addition, Zoro and Sanji have been practicing intensely together for quite some time now...

Therefore, their teamwork in battle surpasses that of any other group in the Straw Hat Pirates!

In the sky, facing the attacks of Zoro and Sanji, Kizaru, not in a hurry, did not unleash his full power to defeat the two right away.

Instead, he summoned a Kusanagi sword formed from photons and clashed with the two.

As he continued to shoot down the two men, he clicked his tongue and muttered to himself:

"That's really strange."

"When did two such powerful individuals appear in the Grand Line!?"

"I've never heard of anyone like you in the Navy's intelligence."

"Hey, there are tons of things you haven't heard of!"

Zoro grinned, his longsword flashing without the slightest hesitation.

Even though he could tell that the other party was deliberately toying with them, he still didn't let go of any opportunity to fight against a strong opponent.

at the same time.

The crimson figure on the ground followed Luffy and came to Ace and Issho's side.
