At Sabaody Archipelago...

The enormous screen still lingered on the moment when the Marineford War began.

On a high vantage point, the Supernovas were scattered around, watching intently.

Seeing Hawk-Eye Mihawk's comments about Zoro in the chatroom, Killer, one of the Supernovas and a sword-wielding warrior, spoke up grimly: "For a swordsman to receive such approval from Hawk-Eye..."

Beside him, Eustass Kid sneered. "What are you thinking about?! He’s just the world’s strongest swordsman! Sooner or later, we’ll knock him off his throne! Let you take a seat as the new World’s Strongest Swordsman!!"

"..."

Killer didn’t respond.

He knew his captain couldn’t tolerate anyone above him and didn’t feel like wasting breath arguing with him.

"The Straw Hat brat sure has some damn good luck, huh? To get someone like Zoro so easily..." Trafalgar Law said casually, leaning back against a large rock with his legs crossed.

On the left, Scratchmen Apoo burst into laughter. "Ahahaha! Who would’ve thought that the second strongest member of the Straw Hat crew was tricked and coerced onto the ship by Luffy himself!"

"Enough talk, look—they're going to fight again!" Urouge interrupted.

On the screen...

[Luffy charged into battle against Colonel Morgan.]

[Though Morgan was physically strong, his combat skills paled in comparison to Luffy’s. In no time, Luffy knocked Morgan to the ground!]

[Grabbing Morgan by the collar, Luffy scolded him angrily: "You Marines like you are ruining Coby’s dreams!!"]

[Just as Luffy was about to deliver another punch, Axe-Hand Morgan’s subordinate, Helmeppo, pointed a gun at Coby’s head, threatening Luffy!]

["If you don’t want him to die, don’t move!!" Helmeppo shouted loudly.]

[Luffy let go of Morgan and turned to face Helmeppo.]

["Gomu Gomu no Pistol!!—"]

[Luffy launched his attack, stretching his arm toward Helmeppo at lightning speed.]

[But just as he struck, Morgan—who had been released—stood behind Luffy like a massive door, raising his axe high...]

Gol D. Roger: "This kid... can he be this careless in battle?"

Rocks D. Xebec: "Throwing yourself into danger for the sake of saving a useless piece of trash? What an idiot!"

Charlotte Katakuri: "He clearly has the strength to control the situation but ends up being manipulated by others. He won’t amount to much."

Shiki: "A wannabe Marine recruit and a temporary ally who just joined... How does he survive Morgan’s axe?"

["Luffy, watch out behind you!" Seeing Morgan raise his axe, Coby screamed frantically.]

[However, without even turning his head, Luffy calmly called out: "Zoro."]

[Whoosh!!—]

[A flash of cold light cut through the air.]

[Morgan’s blood sprayed everywhere as he collapsed with a thunderous thud!]

[A figure appeared where Morgan fell, holding two swords in his hands and biting down on a third.]

[Roronoa Zoro, the three-sword style swordsman!!—]

[Zoro glanced back slightly, speaking indifferently: "Piece of cake… Captain!"]

Monkey D. Luffy: "That’s so cool, Zoro!!"

Even Luffy himself was utterly engrossed, shouting excitedly as if binge-watching a drama series.

Roronoa Zoro: "Oi, you idiot Luffy, how can you praise your own teammate so openly in public..."

Trafalgar Law: "Zoro-san, that strike was indeed impressive! But what’s truly remarkable is how quickly Straw Hat trusted you after recruiting you. Just like that, he entrusted his back to you without hesitation!"

Gol D. Roger: "Wow!! This trust reminds me so much of the bond I shared with Rayleigh back then!!"

Silvers Rayleigh: "Yes, Roger. Those were the days... How nostalgic."

Gol D. Roger: "Huh? Rayleigh, you’re here too? Why haven’t I heard you speak until now?"

Silvers Rayleigh: "Shakky forbade me from talking… If I do, she won’t give me money for booze."

Gol D. Roger: "Pfft!! Haha! So you really did end up chasing Shakky, huh!"

Shiki: "The right-hand man of the Pirate King reduced to a henpecked husband! Are you trying to make me laugh myself to death, Rayleigh? Jahahahaha!!"

Shakky: "Oh please, Rayleigh was joking. He’s actually just woken up from a drunken stupor, spouting nonsense all over the place—it’s exhausting enough as it is!!"

Silvers Rayleigh: "Hahaha!!"

Rocks D. Xebec: "Damn it! Shiki, Whitebeard, Kaido, Big Mom, Oden—you bastards, take a good look at this! Look how their crew treats their captain! And compare that to yourselves! Either stabbing each other in the back or running away during crucial moments—you’re nothing but trash!!"

Shiki: "Rocks, how dare you compare yourself to Straw Hat? Can you even match the level of trust he shows to his crew? CAN YOU?!"

Edward Newgate: "Trust goes both ways! Rocks, don’t sit there pretending to lecture us when you know exactly what kind of person you are!"

Kaido: "Damn it, I didn’t run away! I simply wasn’t informed about your plan to raid God Valley! By the time I found out, you were already dead!!"

Charlotte Linlin: "I may have gone along with it, but I’m not your mother! If you wanted to commit suicide, why should I follow you to my doom?"

Borsalino: "My oh my~ Watching these pirate legends tear each other apart is quite terrifying, isn’t it? Wooo~"

Yellow Monkey, ever the troublemaker, enjoyed fanning the flames of chaos.

Sure enough, under his provocation, the chatroom exploded into heated arguments...

Just then, the large white-framed screen slowly dimmed...

And next to it, the red-framed screen began to glow brightly...
