Holy Land, Mariejois!

"SAKAZUKI IS A USELESS PIECE OF TRASH." Saint Topman Warcury roared, his temper flaring as he slammed the Navy’s battle report down on the table.

"AND WHO AUTHORIZED THE PUBLICATION OF THIS PHOTOGRAPH??"

More than the Navy’s immense losses, what truly infuriated Warcury was the wanted poster that had now spread across the entire sea.

It was the latest wanted poster for Straw Hat Monkey D. Luffy.

On it, the image of Nika Luffy, his face covered by his hand, was laughing with unrestrained joy.

The Emperor, "STRAW HAT" MONKEY D. LUFFY!

WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE! BOUNTY: 3,553,000,000 BERI!

This was Luffy’s new bounty and his new title.

With the confirmed deaths of the two Emperors, Kaido of the Beasts and Big Mom, Straw Hat Luffy—by virtue of the terrifying combat power he had displayed at the Summit War and especially in this most recent, epic-scale conflict, and his status as the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates—he had naturally become a new Emperor.

And the final vacant Emperor seat had also been filled...

The Emperor, "Blackbeard" Marshall D. Teach.

Taking advantage of the chaos, he had defeated Ochoku, a former member of the Rocks Pirates and a legendary pirate in his own right, seizing the former base of the Rocks Pirates—the island known as the ’Pirate Paradise’, Hachinosu, and its surrounding territories.

Thus, he claimed the final vacant Emperor position.

Bounty: 3,000,000,000 Beri.

<><><><><><><><>

Now, the new generation of Four Emperors who reigned over the New World had been established.

Their bounties, Ranked from highest to lowest bounty:

The Emperor, SKY SOVEREIGN ROWEN.

The Undisputed Strongest Emperor. The Strongest Pirate of this era. The Mastermind behind the World’s Chaos.

WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE! BOUNTY: 6,058,000,000 BERI!

After achieving the unprecedented feat of annihilating all three of the Navy’s active-duty Admirals in a single generation and killing two Emperors—achieving such a glorious battle record, Rowen’s bounty was also updated.

It had surpassed six billion Beri.

While the increase from his previous 5,564,800,000 Beri was not massive in terms of percentage, it was a landmark.

The bounty of 5,564,800,000 Beri had belonged to the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. It was the highest bounty a pirate had ever received.

Rowen’s bounty had now surpassed the Pirate King’s, and he had done so without even conquering the Grand Line. He had received the highest bounty in history.

In the 5 billion Beri tier, besides the Pirate King Roger, there was also the late former Emperor, the legendary pirate Whitebeard’s 5,046,000,000 Beri bounty.

Rowen’s bounty had now completely shattered that ceiling, crossing the threshold into the six-billion-Beri range. This represented the World Government’s belief that Sky Sovereign Rowen had completely surpassed the Pirate King Roger, becoming a pirate of another tier.

A pirate who had surpassed the Pirate King.

THE STRONGEST PIRATE. The title was now undisputed.

<><><><><><><><>

After him was the Emperor, "Red-Haired" Shanks, with a bounty of 4,048,900,000 Beri.

Originally, Shanks, as the youngest Emperor and the last of the old generation, had the lowest bounty among Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom.

But now, with their successive deaths, Shanks’s bounty had risen to second among the Four Emperors.

After him was the new Emperor, "Straw Hat" Monkey D. Luffy, with a bounty of 3,553,000,000 Beri!

And at the bottom of the list was Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach.

Though he had defeated Ochoku and seized Hachinosu, because he lacked the vast territories of the Whitebeard Pirates and had failed to obtain the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, his bounty was the lowest of the four at 3,000,000,000 Beri.

The new generation of Four Emperors was now fully confirmed.

Sky Sovereign! Red-Hair! Straw Hat! Blackbeard!

And the Sky Sovereign Grand Fleet’s pirate alliance had unprecedentedly become a ’One Crew, Two Emperors’ force.

Though nominally an alliance, like the Big Mom and Beasts Pirates’ alliance, the entire world knew that Sky Sovereign Rowen and Straw Hat were, for all intents and purposes, part of the same crew.

Calling it an alliance was just to separate the Sky Sovereign Grand Fleet, to better develop the pirate crews under Sky Sovereign Rowen’s banner.

"The Navy is indeed useless. But Sky Sovereign’s combat strength... was truly unexpected. It has completely surpassed our imagination," Saint Shepherd Ju Peter commented, a hint of cold sweat also on his forehead.

This level of power... was terrifying.

It reminded them of a past nightmare.

"Joy Boy..." Saint Marcus Mars murmured, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, his eyes utterly grim, uttering the name.

"BUT STRAW HAT IS NIKA! HOW DID SKY SOVEREIGN ROWEN GET THIS STRONG??? HE’S JUST AN INSECT!" Saint Jaygarcia Saturn snarled, leaning on his cane, his eyes utterly grim.

Saturn, who viewed all non-Celestial Dragons as insects, could not tolerate the existence of someone like Sky Sovereign Rowen on these seas.

"Losing three Admirals, the Navy’s morale has hit rock bottom. And combatants of the Admiral level cannot be immediately replaced," Ju Peter’s face was grim.

Admirals weren’t common cabbages.

In any era, they were absolute peak combatants.

The recent World Military Draft only found two Admiral-level fighters, Ryokugyu and Fujitora, to fill the Navy’s gap.

But to immediately replenish again was impossible.

As for Admiral Candidates?? Their strength was too weak, they were not qualified to become Admirals.

"The situation is no longer something the Navy can handle. To think he would push things this far... BASTARD! SKY SOVEREIGN!" Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro’s forehead was beaded with veins, his sword clanging against the floor.

"HMPH!!!"

Their destination: The Empty Throne.
