The appearance of the Blackbeard Pirates caused the atmosphere on the battlefield to change once again.
The crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates cast gazes filled with hatred and disgust at Blackbeard, the traitor.
Sengoku and the others stared at Avalo Pizarro and the others, who were wearing black and white striped prison uniforms.
As if recognizing something, Sengoku and a few rational Marine admirals all widened their eyes.
"...Teach!"
"...Shiliew!"
Almost at the same time, Whitebeard and Sengoku shouted the names of Blackbeard and Shiliew of the Rain.
The faces of the two legendary figures both showed expressions of gritting their teeth.
Whitebeard even gave up on the idea of sinking Marineford on the spot. He raised his fist, which was several times larger than an ordinary person's head, covered it with a global transparent white light wave, and shattered the atmosphere in front of him.
A terrifying airwave immediately roared towards the Blackbeard Pirates like a hurricane.
Facing the airwave formed by this shockwave, Blackbeard, who didn't even have time to greet Whitebeard, awkwardly dodged with his crew members.
Blackbeard, who was ultimately blown away by the airwave, had just gotten up when he found Whitebeard appearing in front of him.
Next was the equally classic scene of Whitebeard showing Blackbeard who was boss while on the brink of death.
The Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, which could destroy everything, was swallowed by Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit before it could shatter the atmosphere.
However, the conceited and rash Blackbeard was taught a harsh lesson by Whitebeard using his rich combat experience.
After being thrown into the air by Whitebeard, and then slashed by the caught Murakumogiri, leaving a large sword wound on his body, Blackbeard's hands, which could absorb and seal fruit abilities, were sealed by Whitebeard, and his neck was even grabbed by Whitebeard's hand.
When the familiar transparent white light wave appeared, Blackbeard's face was filled with horror.
Immediately after, a terrifying airwave spread out from Whitebeard and Blackbeard's bodies, blasting a circle of depression into the ground.
Just as Whitebeard, who had made Blackbeard's eyes roll back and spit blood with a single blow, was about to raise his fist to righteously kill his kin.
Bang—Pfft!
A gunshot exploded, and the bullet fired from Van Augur's sniper rifle became the last straw that broke the camel's back for Whitebeard.
"Go to hell, you bastard..."
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
Blackbeard, recovering from the double pain, pulled out the pistol at his waist and continuously pulled the trigger at Whitebeard.
At the same time, the other crew members of the Blackbeard Pirates also approached one after another, holding their weapons and guns, constantly attacking the immobilized Whitebeard.
Not until Blackbeard's pistol ran out of ammo did they stop their attacks.
However, Whitebeard, who had been turned into a hornet's nest from the front, still hadn't breathed his last. His whole body emitted red steam similar to Luffy's Second Gear.
It was just that he no longer had the ability to attack.
Whitebeard, with only his last breath left, took a deep look at Blackbeard on the ground.
At this moment, in Blackbeard's wicked smile, he saw the reflection of the brat who had knelt before him decades ago, begging to join the Whitebeard Pirates.
His answer back then was a simple "I know, get on board!"
Unknowingly, decades had passed.
His sons had also gone from brats back then to powerhouses who could hold their own in the New World.
And he had gone from a brat running around for his hometown to a remnant of the old era.
So... has the voyage been this long?
In decades of sailing, he had gone from being alone to having a big family.
His dream had been realized in these decades.
Thinking of this, the corners of Whitebeard's mouth lifted slightly.
Immediately after, he thought of the last meeting and drinking session with Roger under the cherry blossom trees.
In that conversation about "D," the figures of Ace and Luffy flashed through Whitebeard's mind one after another, and finally, the bastard son Teach in front of him.
"The man Roger is waiting for... is not Teach, at least not you..."
Whitebeard spoke slowly, uttering a sentence that left Blackbeard stunned in place.
Then Whitebeard looked at him no more, his gaze falling on Sengoku.
Just like in the original story, after finishing the inheritance of will, words that made Sengoku's face change in shock began to spill from Whitebeard's mouth: "...Sengoku, the Marines and Mary Geoise are afraid of the huge war that will one day engulf the entire world..."
"Although I have no interest, when that treasure is found by someone, the world... will surely be turned upside down!"
"Someone will find that treasure, and that day will come..."
His tone paused slightly, and Whitebeard used his last bit of strength to take a deep breath and loudly shouted the key to starting the chaotic new era:
"THE ONE PIECE... IS REAL!"
With this one sentence, transmitted through the megaphone Den Den Mushi to the whole world.
The entire great sea fell into silence.
"Zehahaha..."
"...Truly amazing last words!"
The same sentence came from the mouths of Blackbeard and Karl.
After speaking, Karl looked at Nami, who had just come in from outside not long ago, and grinned, "Nami, announce to the outside world that we are returning to the New World tomorrow."
"...Okay, I understand!"
Looking at the excited Karl, Nami nodded quickly.
After Whitebeard brought down the curtain on the old era by dying standing up.
The Marines then went all out to pursue the Whitebeard Pirates.
Blackbeard took this opportunity to steal Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability.
Before the highest-ranking Marine officers could react, Blackbeard walked out from the black cloth, becoming the absolute protagonist of Marineford with the unprecedented status of a user of two Devil Fruits.
After preparing to destroy the entire Marineford and announcing the arrival of his era.
The two legends, Sengoku and Garp, once again taught him a lesson with their ultimate strength of mind, technique, and body.
Finally, the late Red Hair Pirates helped the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates.
Otherwise, Blackbeard, who had just taken the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, might have been beaten up by the furious Sengoku and Garp together.
Under Shanks's words of "give me face," this Summit War, which affected the whole world, announced the end of the old era, and started the chaotic new era, finally came to an end.
The victor of this war, however, was not the Marines.
Because at the last moment, Whitebeard's world-shaking last words destroyed the true purpose of executing Ace. Not only did it fail to strike a blow to the Great Pirate Era, but this World's Strongest Man used his life to completely ignite this era.
The Whitebeard Pirates were not the victors either.
They lost their pillar, Pops, and a large number of brothers and sisters led by Ace.
When they returned to the New World, even greater difficulties awaited them.
The biggest winners of this war were only two!
One was Karl, who took advantage of the Marines' inability to provide support to take the hearts of all the major criminals in the Infinite Hell.
The other was Blackbeard, who recruited a group of heinous villains, took the dream-worthy Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and became the unprecedented user of two Devil Fruits.
