New week, Lets Push!!
<><><><><><><><>
During the Summit War, Rowen had used Whitebeard's Pirate Faction 'Fortune' to elevate his Conqueror's Haki to a level surpassing the Emperors and even the Pirate King.
But his physique and stamina had always been his limiting factors.
Now, after successively obtaining the powers of the Mythical Zoan Nika Fruit and the Azure Dragon Fruit, and the physical energy of the two beings with arguably the most terrifying physiques on the sea, Big Mom and Kaido—Rowen had finally shored up his last weakness.
His physique had shattered the Emperor limit, reaching a new level.
A powerful physique that surpassed all the powerhouses of this era, and even those of Roger's and Rocks's eras...
Only by gathering so many Awakened, powerful Devil Fruit abilities, and the special constitutions and physical energy of Kaido and Big Mom, had he reached this step.
Rowen was filled with emotion at this moment.
It was no wonder that in the world of One Piece, the known limit of combat power had always been the "Peak Emperor" level—and even then, they couldn't contend with two or more Admiral-level fighters.
After reaching the Emperor level, improving either physique or Haki became exponentially more difficult.
Rowen, by gathering the 'Fortune' of three Emperors and the Traits of numerous powerhouses, had finally broken through the limits of both Haki and physique simultaneously.
The difficulty of this feat was absurd.
But finally, he had reached this point.
<><><><><><><><>
Rowen looked towards his comrades, who had already secured all the captives.
Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp.
Nami, Vivi, Robin, Hancock, Perona.
Chopper, Franky, Brook.
And Jinbe, Ace, Marco, the commanders of the Sky Sovereign Grand Fleet.
All eyes were fixed on Rowen.
"THE WAR IS OVER! PREPARE THE FEAST!" Rowen declared, laughing heartily.
"YOSHAAA!" Luffy, who had already eaten a pirate lunchbox and recovered his mobility, grinned widely.
Everyone raised their hands and let out a massive cheer.
For pirates, after a great victory, only a grand banquet could truly release the full joy of their triumph.
"Birdcage—dispel."
Rowen deactivated the String-String Fruit's ability.
With the dispersal of the Birdcage, it also signified the official end of this epic war.
<><><><><><><><>
"If you want to report this big news, go ahead. We're old friends, after all, Morgans," Rowen said with a smile, looking at an albatross hovering in the distance.
At that moment, aboard his ship, one of the kings of the Underworld, the president of the World Economic News Paper—Big News Morgans, was completely and utterly dumbfounded.
His most precious camera had slipped from his grasp, clattering onto the deck.
"Gulp!"
Morgans swallowed hard, then began to furiously scribble in his notebook with his pen, his hands shaking with excitement.
He was recording the SUPER, SUPER, SUPER big news story that was destined to change the entire world.
Morgans used the word "Super" three times to describe the sheer, earth-shattering weight of this news.
The Sky Sovereign Grand Fleet and Straw Hat Pirates' alliance VERSUS the combined forces of three Marine Admirals, a massive force of over fifty warships, AND the Emperor Kaido of the Beasts and the Emperor Big Mom.
Victor: The Sky Sovereign Grand Fleet And Straw Hat Pirates Alliance!
Confirmed Dead: The Emperor, Big Mom. The Emperor, Kaido Of The Beasts.
Confirmed Dead: Marine Admiral Ryokugyu.
Confirmed Captured: Marine Admiral Kizaru, Marine Admiral Fujitora.
The Navy's Three Admirals: Annihilated.
The Super Buster Call Fleet Of Over Fifty Warships: Completely Wiped Out.
The Core Commanders Of The Big Mom And Beasts Pirates: Almost All Captured.
And, That Special Form...
A photograph of Straw Hat Monkey D. Luffy, his entire body turned a brilliant white, one hand grabbing Marine Admiral Kizaru while the other landed a heavy blow on Marine Admiral Fujitora, a picture that perfectly captured his terrifying new power, would soon spread across the entire world.
And this... was with Rowen's tacit permission.
It was time for Nika to officially take the center stage of the world.
And this also meant that the final countdown to the decisive battle with the true king of the World Government, Imu, had officially begun.
<><><><><><><><>
FWOOSH!
Several Navy warships cut through the mist, arriving at the sea region.
A sea region that was now shattered and broken, completely devoid of any signs of life.
"F-Fleet Admiral! All the warships have varying degrees of damage! It's from seismic forces... it's Sky Sovereign Rowen's Tremor-Tremor Fruit!" a Rear Admiral reported to Akainu, his forehead drenched in cold sweat.
"DO I NEED YOU TO TELL ME?? A Vast Expanse Of The New World Was Engulfed By That Tremor!" Akainu roared lowly, his expression incredibly grim, veins bulging on his forehead.
Everything had been going so smoothly.
Even with Kaido's appearance, they had the overwhelming power of the Seraphim and three Admirals. Their forces had been more than sufficient.
According to the plan, Kizaru and the others would have soon captured Big Mom!
But then, the unexpected had happened...
All Transponder Snail signals from Kizaru's fleet were cut off. Completely jammed.
Their Marine HQ had completely lost contact with them!
And there was only one man who could do such a thing.
THE EMPEROR, SKY SOVEREIGN ROWEN.
HE HAD APPEARED.
But this was also within the Navy's worst-case scenario.
Akainu immediately led all the forces Marine HQ could mobilize, plus Garp and Sengoku, all combat strength, towards this sea region.
Because of their preparations, the time needed to reach this area was very short.
<><><><><><><><>
But then, the entire sea region began to turn upside down.
The entire ocean was rocked by terrifying sea quakes. It was the power of Sky Sovereign's Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
The Seaquake and giant waves greatly restricted their travel. To arrive at the fastest speed, Akainu made a decisive decision, taking only a few warships, concentrating all the main combatants here, and rushing over at full speed.
But Sky Sovereign's Tremor-Tremor Fruit had exceeded all their predictions. In his hands, it was even more powerful than it had been in Whitebeard's.
Even straits were torn apart by this horrifying tremor, becoming new special sea trenches, forming new special sea areas in the New World.
And by the time they managed to arrive here, the battle was already over.
What was worse, all that remained here were the wreckage of their Marine warships, and the ships of the Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates...
There was not a single person in sight.
<><><><><><><><>
"Hey, hey... are you serious?"
Sengoku, whose hair was now completely gray, said in disbelief.
Of course, this wasn't a case of his hair turning white overnight. Sengoku was now 78 years old—this was his natural hair color.
During his time as Fleet Admiral, that head of black hair was due to frequent dyeing to maintain his image. As the supreme commander of the Navy, he had to appear energetic before all the Marines and civilians.
But after retiring from the Fleet Admiral position, Sengoku no longer had this need and reverted to his original hair color.
At this moment, Sengoku wasn't eating rice crackers, looking at this sea region, his gaze incredibly grave.
"Are we... too late? How could it have ended so quickly?" Garp was also shaken.
Those fifty warships had carried more than half of the Navy's elite forces, as well as their three Admirals.
If they were all annihilated...
<><><><><><><><>
"FLEET ADMIRAL! THERE'S... NEWS!"
"WHAT??"
Akainu looked at an officer holding a still-warm newspaper, obviously just printed. Veins bulged on his forehead as he snatched it.
His eyes scanned the headlines, and they instantly turned bloodshot. A cold sweat drenched his entire body.
SLIP!
This extremely iron-blooded new Fleet Admiral of the Navy, whose hands could wield the most powerful magma fists, suddenly went limp.
The newspaper fell to the deck.
Garp, Sengoku, and the others quickly picked up the newspaper. As they read, they all fell silent.
HOW... COULD THIS BE!
<><><><><><><><>
"Boss, looks like it's over," Lucky Roux said, holding a newspaper, handing it to Shanks.
At this moment, the Red Hair Pirates were still on their way to that sea region.
"Phew... I never thought... it would end like this," Shanks said, looking at the report in his hand, slowly exhaling a puff of air.
"Unbelievable... Facing three Marine Admirals, and Kaido and Big Mom, he actually achieved a complete victory," Beckman exhaled a puff of smoke. His eyes were filled with shock.
This was two Emperors, plus more than half of Marine HQ's forces. The combined combat strength was even more outrageous than the entirety of Marine HQ.
At least, their Red Hair Pirates were no match for any single one of these factions.
And Sky Sovereign Rowen... had annihilated all of them.
"BECK... IT'S TIME TO ACT," Shanks said, looking at the newspaper.
He wasn't looking at the report about Sky Sovereign, but at the report about Luffy.
An astonishing crimson-black light flashed in his eyes.
"LET'S GO AND CLAIM IT! ONE PIECE!"
The time... had finally come.
On the report, was an image of Nika Luffy, covering his face and laughing.
The headline read:
A NEW EMPEROR!
THE EMPEROR, "STRAW HAT" MONKEY D. LUFFY!
