The current situation of this "Summit War" cannot be described as merely "full of twists and turns"; it can only be described as "tumultuous and unpredictable."

When the Whitebeard Pirates were fighting the Marine Headquarters, many people felt that the seas were about to descend into chaos. Now, seeing the few remaining figures on the battlefield through Buggy's Den Den Mushi, many on the seas felt that the end of the world might be coming.

The whole world is watching this war, because its final outcome will directly affect the future course of the ocean.

If Kaido and Big Mom's pirates win, the seas will descend into chaos, and the Beast Pirates and Big Mom Pirates, two of the Four Emperors, will become the only Emperor and the only Yonko on the seas.

If Wood and Whitebeard's neutral chaotic faction wins, the power dynamics on the high seas will be reshuffled, which is the most unpredictable scenario for the future.

If the naval faction wins, then the naval prestige will be propelled to its peak in an instant.

Although Marineford was crippled, they had already defeated three Yonko (Four Emperors) pirate crews in a row, and Fire Fist Ace, who also carried the bloodline of the Pirate King, was successfully executed. That alone was enough for them to be arrogant.

In terms of sheer strength, the Navy and the pirate alliance of Kaido and Big Mom are currently the strongest.

Aokiji and Kizaru were slightly exhausted, but they were still capable of fighting. Garp, Sengoku, and Gion were in good condition. If we take "Four Emperors" and "Marine Admirals" as units of measurement, the Navy side had the fighting strength of about four or five Marine Admirals.

Although there are only two Kaido and Big Mom, the "Sweet Commanders" and the "Three Disasters" can be considered as two Yonko or Admiral-level fighters.

After all, in a three-on-one situation, the "Sweethearts" and the "Three Disasters" should have no major problem stopping Aokiji and Kizaru, who were somewhat exhausted.

In other words, the combat strength of the Navy and the pirates is roughly equal. On the contrary, Wood and his group, as neutral parties, seem to be the weakest.

Wood and Whitebeard are considered to be among the Four Emperors, and even at the top level. However, apart from themselves, they obviously don't have as many followers as the others.

Russ is at the same level as the "Three Disasters" in terms of strength, but Kaido and Big Mom have a total of six such subordinates, while Wood only has one.

However, soon after, Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, and Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress, walked over from a distance after only a moment's hesitation and stood firmly behind Wood and the others.

With the addition of Jinbe and Hancock, the fighting strength of Wood and Whitebeard's side has increased significantly. Considering that Wood and Whitebeard are slightly stronger than Kaido and Big Mom, and with the power of Jinbe and Hancock, their strength is once again on par with the Navy and the pirates, creating a three-way balance of power!

Kaido and Big Mom looked at the Marine camp led by Fleet Admiral Sengoku, and then at the neutral camp with Wood and Whitebeard standing together, and their expressions immediately turned somewhat ugly.

They originally thought that since their two "Four Emperors" pirate crews had joined forces, and the Whitebeard Pirates had been fighting the Marine Headquarters for so long, they should be able to reap the benefits.

But the current situation has caught them somewhat off guard.

On their way here, they heard that Whitebeard had been killed, and that the three admirals, the strongest force in the Marine Headquarters, were also seriously injured and two were slightly injured. The Marine hero Garp was ambushed by Straw Hat Luffy and fell into a "coma".

But what the hell is going on?! Whitebeard, who was supposed to be dead, is still alive and kicking.

Of the three Marine Admirals, Akainu is indeed gone, but Aokiji and Kizaru clearly aren't without the strength to fight. (They had been resting under Sengoku's orders.)

And what about the naval hero Garp? The old guy doesn't look like he's in a deep coma at all! He's clearly still leisurely picking his nose!

The current situation is somewhat strange. Kaido and Big Mom came with great momentum, but once they arrived on the island, they suddenly discovered that there were more giants here than they had imagined. With their combined strength, it seemed that they could not easily handle the whole situation, so they were hesitating whether to make a move.

If they were to take action, they should target the Navy, and also attack Whitebeard and Wood's side.

The Navy is also on high alert. Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Garp, and Gion are alright because they know Wood is one of their own. Apart from worrying that Whitebeard might break free from Wood's control at any time, they are not too concerned about the current situation.

As for Aokiji and Kizaru, although they had learned from Fleet Admiral Sengoku that Wood had secretly reached some kind of agreement with the Navy, they still dared not be completely at ease.

After all, Wood was a pirate. When you try to cooperate with pirates, they have no integrity whatsoever. They might betray you at any time, which is what makes them pirates.

Don't you see the "Seven Warlords of the Sea," who are legal pirates recognized by the World Government? Yet, how many of them actually contributed to the Marineford War?

They're a bunch of traitors. Not only did they not help at all, they also caused a lot of trouble for their navy.

Wood and Whitebeard glanced at Fleet Admiral Sengoku and then at the combination of Kaido and Big Mom, and did not make any rash moves at this moment.

"Wood, how about it? Want to consider cooperating with us?"

Since we're all pirates, it should be quite clear who our enemy is.

If there were no navy on the high seas, it would only be a good thing for us pirates.

Without those navy guys getting in your way, your business and influence could expand even further.

After a long silence, Big Mom and Kaido exchanged a glance and then suddenly looked at Wood and asked.

That's right, their initial goal was indeed to capture Wood as well.

But when they actually arrived at Marineford, they were surprised to find that the situation there was somewhat unexpected.

It's impossible to dominate the entire field. If you join the Navy, you'll inevitably be taken advantage of by Wood and Whitebeard.

If the Navy were to fight Whitebeard and Wood, they would probably be laughing in their sleep.

So after some hesitation, Big Mom and Kaido had no choice but to change their original plan and join forces with Wood and the others to make the Navy disappear from this sea first.

This is a very simple multiple-choice question. There are three forces here, and they all seem to be evenly matched. If two of them fight each other, the remaining force will only benefit.

Everyone here is smart, and everyone wants to be the one who benefits, which is why we've been holding back since the beginning.

However, waiting like this is obviously not an option. Once the World Government's support arrives, it will be these pirates who suffer.

Cooperation with the Navy is completely impossible. Although Kaido has some grudges against Big Mom and Wood, there are only interests between important figures, not permanent enemies.

Whitebeard is still alive, and Wood's neutral forces are far stronger than Big Mom and the others imagined. Since they cannot swallow the other side, they can only choose to cooperate temporarily.

In any case, returning empty-handed is definitely not an option. Wood Arms Company's wealth is gone, but making the navy disappear from the sea and gaining some notoriety is still possible.

"Although your offer is tempting, and I do really hate the navy because they've always been getting in my way of doing business."

But as everyone knows, I'm a businessman who always keeps my word. Since I had a prior agreement with the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I'm siding with the navy this time.

Upon hearing what Wood said, Big Mom and Kaido's expressions instantly turned ugly.

They never expected that they would end up being big fish that walked right into a trap instead of coming to reap the rewards of victory!

If Wood's side, as a neutral party, were to join forces with the Navy, their chances of destroying the Navy Headquarters would be slim, and even their own survival would be uncertain!

"Wood, you should think this through. No matter how close you are to the World Government now, a pirate is a pirate, and the Navy will always be two different people."

If you join forces with them, aren't you worried that after they deal with us, you'll be their next target?

Big Mom's words were quite cunning. After the Marineford War, the Whitebeard Pirates were practically defunct and no longer worthy of the title of "Four Emperors".

If I and Kaido also perish here, then three of the "Four Emperors" will be gone, leaving only the insignificant "Red-Haired Pirates".

If three of the "Four Emperors" were gone, the balance of power on the high seas would be broken. At that point, the World Government, which had become the dominant power, would no longer be able to allow Wood, who possessed both astonishing wealth and immense power, to continue to act arrogantly.

"That's utter nonsense! We in the Navy aren't pirates. Since we've made a promise, we certainly won't kick our allies when they're down."

Upon hearing what Big Mom said, Marshal Sengoku quickly spoke up to defend himself, saying that, to be honest, he couldn't guess what Wood was really thinking.

Twenty years have passed, and Wood is no longer the mere naval lieutenant he once was. He is now a major figure on the high seas whose strength, status, and influence are inferior to those of the "Four Emperors".

Gion has always firmly believed that Wood is on the side of justice, but the Fleet Admiral Sengoku is not a woman in love, so Wood herself does not have any filters or halo.

Simply put, after so many years, the level of trust that Marshal Sengoku has in his mind is far less than it was twenty years ago.

Humans are inherently driven by desires, and these desires are essentially limited to a few things: wealth, status, and women.

Today, Wood owns the global arms business, and his connections and status are among the best in the world. He has everything he needs: wealth, status, and women.

In other words, after so many years, even Fleet Admiral Sengoku himself is unsure whether Wood still has his heart set on the Navy, or whether he still harbors any sense of "justice."

"The Navy will trust us? That's probably the biggest joke I've heard all day."

If you were only referring to Garp, I would believe you. But Sengoku, you're not much different from the others, are you?

"The incident with the giant vortex spider was probably orchestrated by you, my 'strategist,' wasn't it?"

The person who suddenly spoke and laughed loudly was Whitebeard. Because he had been betrayed before, he couldn't help but laugh mockingly when he heard Sengoku's words.

Among the powerful figures here, he is the one with the most indifferent attitude.

Marco had already led the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates away, and since he was already dead, he was happy to see the Navy gone, or Kaido and Big Mom gone.

However, rather than assisting the Navy, Whitebeard would naturally prefer to help Kaido and his side to completely wipe out the Navy.

After all, both he and Ace died at the hands of the Navy. Although Blackbeard Teach was the mastermind, the Navy was also a murderer.

A deafening commotion erupted at Marineford, and a powerful shockwave instantly swept across the entire sea area.

Both the ocean and the sky appeared as if they had been transformed into two giant funnels, with an insurmountable chasm above the sky and huge whirlpools forming on the sea surface.

Even the colossal sea monsters in the deep sea were not spared in that area that day, and were directly torn to pieces.

There were almost no eyewitnesses to that final battle on the high seas. Only Bucky the Clown and his crew, who had just seized a naval warship and left Marineford, witnessed the scene from afar.

According to the great god Baki, the battle that broke out in Marineford that day was almost the largest battle he had ever seen in his life.

Even in the era of One Piece, it's probably only comparable to the time when Roger and Garp teamed up to fight the Rocks Pirates.

Chapter 481 The Most Respected Man in the World

The Rocks Pirates were a large pirate crew from 38 years ago, and their list of members was increasingly outrageous.

Whether it's Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, or Shiki the Golden Lion and John the Captain John who Buggy has been searching for, they were all members of this pirate crew 38 years ago.

In the great battle that broke out at God Valley, Garp and Roger joined forces to dismantle the Rocks Pirates, who were attempting to dominate the world.

Nearly forty years later, this battle at Marineford was no less impressive than it had been back then, and perhaps even more so.

Although Garp, Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom were among those who participated in the battle, their fighting strength at that time was significantly different from that of Garp at the time.

In this chaotic battle, not only did the original Marine Headquarters Marineford completely disappear from the sea, but the entire sea area was also turned into a dead sea.

Even the Red Line continent, which is adjacent to the Navy Headquarters, collapsed for hundreds of kilometers due to this battle.

Afterwards, the battle between the Whitebeard Pirates at Marineford and the Marine Headquarters was called the "Marineford War," and the final battle between the three powerful forces was called the "Final Battle"!

What is the "Final Battle"? It is the final chaotic battle that represents the end of an era and the end of a power. Moreover, those who participate in this battle are either the Four Emperors or the Navy Admirals, and they are fully qualified to represent this era.
