Two Wars!
The Summit War: Marineford's Deadliest Gamble
To completely annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates in Marineford, the Marine government has pulled out all its resources.
In the U-shaped port, fortified with countless artillery, nearly 100,000 elite Marines stand ready. Dozens of Vice Admirals are prepared for battle, led by Marine legends such as the "Resourceful General" Sengoku, the legendary hero Garp, and the "Great Staff Officer" Tsuru. The Admirals—Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu—stand at the helm, their presence alone enough to make even the bravest tremble.
These are figures of legend, names whispered in awe and fear throughout the world. Now, they stand revealed for all to see, their might displayed to the world without reservation.
Yet, amidst this terrifying display, something even more unsettling captures the world's attention—an army of indistinguishable figures with cold, lifeless eyes and PX-series numbers engraved on their bodies.
They look eerily similar to the Shichibukai in their youth.
A New Weapon Emerges
"Seven Shichibukai? No…"
The figures' cold and unfeeling demeanor is nothing like the living legends they resemble. They are something else entirely.
Confusion spreads like wildfire across the world.
On Amazon Lily, Elder Nyon's face pales as she watches the live broadcast of the Summit War.
"Snake Princess… what are those things?!" she exclaims, her voice trembling with disbelief.
She glances back to confirm that Boa Hancock is still present, safe and accounted for. A moment of relief passes, but the unease quickly returns.
"What are those things that look so much like the Shichibukai in their youth?"
Hancock's brow furrows as her gaze locks onto the 'Seraphim' displayed in the broadcast. Her expression darkens, but she remains silent, processing the implications.
Meanwhile, in the New World, within the Kingdom of Dressrosa, panic breaks out among the Donquixote Pirates.
"D-Doffy… those things… could it be?!"
Doflamingo, seated on his throne, lets out a low chuckle.
"Fufufu… I didn't expect the World Government to actually succeed in their experiments."
"What?! The World Government?!" Torrebol gasps, his voice tinged with disbelief.
Doflamingo nods, his grin widening.
"Yes. They're powerful clones meant to replace the Shichibukai—a new generation of pacifista known as the Seraphim. I had heard they were still in the experimental stage, but to think the World Government would unleash such terrifying weapons so soon…"
He leans forward, his smile turning menacing.
"It seems the World Government is determined to wipe out every threat on the Grand Line."
"Hiss!" Torrebol inhales sharply, his unease growing.
The Calm Before Two Storms
As the Summit War shakes the world, another storm brews elsewhere.
On a distant sea, Bai Ye watches the live broadcast of Marineford with an impassive expression.
"Seraphim… So the World Government's research has finally borne fruit," he mutters. "No wonder they had the confidence to disband the Shichibukai."
His hand rests on the dark purple hilt of Ryūjin Jakka.
But Bai Ye's focus isn't on the Summit War. Instead, his attention is drawn to the seemingly tranquil sea ahead.
Through his sharp Reiatsu perception, he senses the chaos lurking beyond—countless flames of hostility dancing in the darkness, waiting to erupt.
His true enemy isn't at Marineford.
It's the World Government itself, the monstrous entity that has ruled for 800 years, now preparing to reveal its full might.
Bai Ye's eyes remain calm, his resolve unshaken.
"The enemies that should come will always come," he says softly.
If the outside world knew the lineup Bai Ye had assembled, one that rivaled—no, perhaps even surpassed—the forces gathered at Marineford, they would be in utter disbelief.
And yet, even as he faces this overwhelming force, Bai Ye shows no sign of retreat.
The Approach of Two Titans
In the distance, Bai Ye senses two overwhelming presences. One approaches rapidly, while the other remains distant, observing.
"Kaido," he mutters, recognizing the aura of the Four Emperors approaching from the sky.
Kaido's recent rampage through the first half of the Grand Line had puzzled Bai Ye. Why would a pirate of his stature abandon the opportunity to claim Whitebeard's territory during such a critical time?
Now it's clear.
Kaido's movements weren't random—they were a response to Bai Ye's actions.
Even so, Bai Ye's expression remains indifferent.
Before him lies the carefully orchestrated plan of the World Government. Behind him, Kaido barrels toward the battlefield.
But Bai Ye's resolve doesn't waver.
No matter who stands in his way, he will not abandon his mission to exact vengeance and overthrow the World Government.
The Final Destination
Ahead lies the sea leading directly to the Sabaody Archipelago and the World Government's stronghold.
Alone, without fear or hesitation, Bai Ye presses forward.
He doesn't need to wait for them to come to him.
He will bring the fight to them.
And together with the World Government, Bai Ye will ensure its downfall, burying its legacy forever.
Marineford and Beyond
Back at Naval Headquarters, the forces of Marineford brace for the Summit War, while elsewhere, Bai Ye prepares for his own unprecedented confrontation.
Two battles—both destined to reshape the world—are about to erupt.
The era is on the verge of a transformation, and no one can predict what will remain once the dust settles.
