One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

"This... is."

Shiki acknowledged this, explaining, "Don't worry, I've moved your island, along with its surviving inhabitants, to a location near a floating island. No one in the ocean can find the island's location except for you and me."

"I believe you."

"Heh~ Hahaha!"

Shiki's joyful laughter came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

This lion is the kind of great pirate who makes no attempt to hide his ambition or his emotions, and he has the matching spirit.

In this respect.

Many of the top-tier fighters in One Piece share similar traits.

"Shiki".

Kahn seized the opportunity and brought up the topic, "I'm going to launch an initial operation against Wano Country. This operation will be quite bloody; you can think of it as me venting my anger."

"Wano Country?"

Shiki, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, pondered for a moment before speaking: "Your island wasn't ordered or acted upon by Roger, but it's likely closely related to the Roger Pirates. Roger was a very powerful pirate, with considerable ability and strength, but unfortunately, he was on the opposite side of us."

"Wano Country, go ahead and cause trouble. I have no feelings for that place. It's just a bunch of stupid samurai who cling to their so-called Bushido, worshipping their monarch, and believing that the Shogun has the highest status and noble bloodline..."

"Don't even mention you, I wanted to wipe out this group of people back then, which is part of the reason why I went to sea."

"..."

hang up the phone.

Kahn took care of Shiki.

This great pirate has made his goal clear: to surpass Rocks.

Kahn could sense that Shiki's aura was growing stronger and stronger, and his strength was also steadily improving. In the future, there was a high probability that he would reach the minimum standard of the King level.

In the Navy, there is a minimum standard of strength that has remained unchanged for decades. On the high seas, an admiral can be considered a top-tier pirate and a top-tier powerhouse.

Zephyr, Garp, and Sengoku definitely exceed this standard by a considerable margin.

In One Piece, there is an unspoken standard for top-tier fighters: they need to earn their fame through sheer strength.

This minimum standard should be almost identical to that of the Navy.

And the King level.

Kahn used Rocks' strength in God Valley as a reference to create a reasonable power level, with the minimum standard for King-level being a top-tier powerhouse who can crush opponents in a one-on-one fight.

Someone of Rocks' level could easily overwhelm even Garp, who was at the God Valley stage and whose strength surpassed that of a Marine Admiral.

It's a monster among monsters.

Currently, the only person on the high seas who can overwhelmingly defeat a top-tier standard fighter is 'Red Earl' Ryder,' who crushed, severely injured, and killed Silver Axe, a candidate admiral. However, Ryder had no intention of killing Silver Axe and spared him, as Silver Axe was even stronger than the minimum standard for a Marine admiral.

Red Earl Red's strength has reached the minimum level of King-level set by Cain, and he is most likely not at Rocks' level. At most, he is one of the few pirates on the sea who is closest to Rocks.

Back in God Valley, Shiki and Newgate had already subtly surpassed ordinary top-tier fighters. With moderate to severe injuries, they could have easily defeated Jabba, and with similarly severe injuries, they could have single-handedly killed Rayleigh.

In the fierce battle, the two of them, despite being severely injured, were even able to kill Zephyr and Sengoku.

Generally speaking, the fighting won't escalate to that level, as it's easy for the enemy to gain an advantage. Unless it's the God Valley War, the fighting usually goes on for a while, ends in a draw, and then both sides retreat.

This leads to a situation where top-tier powerhouses, whose standards are not too far apart, often end up fighting to a draw.

At this stage, Kahn's normal strength is close to that of a Navy Admiral, as Zephyr described.

The bare minimum standard.

As long as his opponent doesn't reach the level of overwhelmingly powerful top-tier fighters, he can fight for a very long time.

It's a roughly 50/50 situation.

Each side has its own advantages in this process.

This may explain why Crocodile's performance fluctuated after he regained his strength in the future Marineford War.

Based on Crocodile.

This sand crocodile had been in decline for a long time, but its strength still far exceeded the minimum standard for a vice admiral, yet it had not reached the minimum standard for a general, but the gap was not too large.

At that time, Newgate was no longer at his peak, and Garp did not make a move against Crocodile.

This makes Crocodile accessible to anyone.

It's a 50/50 situation.

Kahn wasn't very clear about his own strength, but thanks to Zephyr, who told him the minimum standard of strength for a Marine Admiral and explained the levels of top-tier fighters and the grandeur of the sea.

Generally speaking, as long as the top-tier pirates don't go crazy, the Navy adopts a policy of not provoking them.

Otherwise, we'll fight to the death.

Sengoku and Garp attacked a top-tier pirate, and both of them were seriously injured. If it were Sengoku alone, there was a possibility of defeat. Even if they won, the injuries would be at least severe.

It's not worth it for Navy Headquarters.

If it weren't for Wald's recklessness, the Marine Headquarters wouldn't have bothered with it. After all, the World Government only pays them a few hundred dollars a month; why would they risk their lives like that?!

Kahn was glad he had connected with Zephyr, and that his sincerity had been reciprocated, which had enlightened Zephyr and solved many problems that he had been struggling with.

Looking back on my memories.

Garp and Sengoku teamed up a total of three times.

All three times were one-on-one.

A formidable pirate that's difficult to deal with.

The first time was with Wald. The Navy's high-ranking officials, who were supposed to uphold justice, couldn't stand it anymore and collaborated with the World Government, resorting to underhanded tactics.

The second one is Shiki. This madman Shiki has even attacked their headquarters. We have no choice but to fight him to the death. We must take down this great pirate. Even Garp might lose in a one-on-one fight.

That time, about 80% of the rookie naval monsters went up to give them a righteous beating.

The third was Barrett. Barrett went mad and destroyed countries everywhere. The Marine Headquarters had to take down this madman, so they sent Garp and Sengoku over.

It wasn't that the Navy Headquarters didn't want to send another person, but rather that Zephyr, who had lost his family at that time, had already begun to decline. At most, he would contribute his share when Shiki attacked the headquarters.

In fact.

The Navy Headquarters is very lenient towards great pirates who have reached the top level of strength.

Adopt a strategy of not provoking others.

It can only be said that the Navy Headquarters has its own advantages and reasons for existing for so long, and the minimum standard of strength for Navy Admirals that it has set is quite reasonable.

As long as the minimum standard for the top-level powerhouses is defined.

The classification of the danger level of top-level experts.

The division of strength.

It's very easy to get out.

As for characters who are significantly weaker than the absolute minimum standard of top-tier powerhouses.

Pirates use bounties.

Naval positions.

The world government uses the power of Tao.

……

Every world has its own system of classification standards, and each system has its own basis for existence.

Kahn originally believed that strength should be categorized by Dao power.

Too unclear.

But Zephyr's words made him realize that the World Government used power levels to classify mid-level combatants who did not reach the level of great pirates.

Classified by pirates.

The strongest group of pirates under the standard of top-tier powerhouses are the Great Pirates, equivalent to the Seven Warlords of the Sea in later generations.

It is predicted that two years after the Marineford War, Rob Lucci will have reached the level of a great pirate, with strength comparable to that of a typical top-tier fighter, but not enough to win in a direct confrontation.

He used his position to suppress Akainu, who had become the Fleet Admiral of the Navy.

The top-tier pirates are linked to the highest combat power of the Marine Headquarters.

Based on this analysis, it's clear that Kahn has always had a deep understanding of his own normal strength level. Without burning his blood, he couldn't defeat Roger at his full strength, but he could hold his own against Rayleigh and achieve a stalemate in a short period of time.

Fight to the death.

Rayleigh has a better chance of winning.

He is roughly at the level of a powerful pirate, close to the minimum standard of a Marine Admiral, but not quite reaching the minimum standard of a top-tier powerhouse.

After so many years of development, Kahn can proudly say that five members of his core team are stronger than the absolute minimum standard for a great pirate.

Chapter 195: Assessment of the Members' Strength (Part 2)

The team led by Kahn and the team led by Wald had a meeting scheduled for about twenty days.

The situation at sea can be described as the calm before the storm.

Taking advantage of this free time, Kahn analyzed all aspects, formulated his own power levels, and assessed and analyzed the strength of various powerful figures, including enemies, friends, and partners.

There's no harm in analyzing things in advance.

The most important thing is to analyze the current strength of the members of the Asura Conquest Division.

There are nine members in total.

I tested it last time, and I got a beating from the members.

Kahn himself has definitely reached the level of a great pirate he defines, exceeding the minimum standard for that great pirate.

But these five people have reached the level of great pirates.

He is not included.

The ranks of great pirates vary in strength, much like the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who are also great pirates, but there are differences in their strength. The weakest can't even defeat the Three Disasters, while the top-ranked captains of the Whitebeard Pirates are strong enough to approach the level of the Four Emperors.
