"KRRAK! BOOM!"

Violent black and purple lightning surged wildly through the atmosphere above the Sabaody Archipelago. The sky itself seemed divided into three opposing forces, each representing the chaotic clash of wills.

At the center of the storm stood Saint Warcury in his colossal boar-like form with four imposing tusks, enveloped in crackling black-purple lightning. But his power, though immense, was being overwhelmed—caught in the vice grip of two even more terrifying forces of black and purple lightning.

The raw power of Saint Warcury's Conqueror's Haki, potent enough to distort reality, was overwhelmed by the combined force of two superior Conqueror's Haki users. As shock and fury contorted Saint Warcury's face, his Haki's roar was slowly suffocated, torn apart in the atmosphere, until it was completely extinguished.

"Red Hair!" Saint Warcury growled through gritted teeth, his eyes fixed on a distant ship approaching the battlefield, a ship marked by a red flag. Only one man could challenge him so completely with his Conqueror's Haki.

But now, to Saint Warcury's misfortune, there was another: Portgas D. Ace, a man whose Conqueror's Haki rivaled the very best of the current era.

Watching helplessly as his Conqueror's Haki was jointly strangled by the combined force of Shanks and Ace, Saint Warcury could do nothing. His own power, formidable as it was, paled in comparison. Alone, he could barely withstand a direct clash of wills, and now, under the relentless pressure of these two, his Conqueror Haki was utterly overpowered, destroyed without resistance.

Yet the terrifying display of Conqueror Haki didn't stop there. The sky above the Sabaody Archipelago trembled as the combined roar of two titanic Conqueror's Haki users echoed through the heavens. 

"BOOM!"

Two men who stood at the peak of this era unleashed their Conqueror's Haki in full force. Red-Hair Shanks and the Emperor of Flames, Portgas D. Ace, allowed their energies to intertwine, their sheer willpower shaking the foundations of the island.

"BUZZ! BOOM!!!"

The overwhelming momentum of their Conqueror Haki collided violently above Sabaody, wreaking havoc on the reality around them. The sky itself cracked under the force of their wills, as black and purple lightning danced through the chaos, reflecting the clash of their will.

Under the gravitational force of Issho's power, the abilities of the numerous devil fruit users and cannonballs suspended in midair exploded in a massive wave of destruction. The ensuing air blast swept across the entire sky, engulfing the battlefield.

The roots of the towering Yarkman mangroves, which held the Sabaody Archipelago together, snapped one after the other. Buildings that had stood for generations were torn apart by the unleashed roar of dual Conqueror's Haki, crumbling into nothingness amid the cascading waves of devastation.

Along the coastline, more than 150 Marine warships—crafted by the shipwrights of the Seven Waters, indestructible that even allowed the Marines to conquer the Calm Belt—began to fall apart. These colossal vessels, symbols of the cutting-edge shipbuilding prowess of the world, shattered like fragile glass in the face of this unparalleled power.

"Buzz! Bang! Bang! Bang!" 

Countless Marine soldiers aboard the ships collapsed, overwhelmed by the sheer pressure. Even the elite officers, renowned Vice Admirals of the Naval Headquarters, felt the crushing weight of the combined Conqueror Haki.

Under the unrelenting force of Shanks' and Ace's combined Conqueror's Haki, many of these Vice Admirals, despite their strength and experience, crumbled. The weaker ones were knocked unconscious instantly, while even the strongest among them—those selected for the Buster Call—fell to their knees, drenched in sweat, utterly unable to move.

These were the two men who stood at the summit of this age, two of the greatest wielders of Conqueror's Haki the world had ever known—Red-Hair Shanks and Flame Emperor Ace. Together, their willpower roared across the battlefield, shaking the world itself.

"'Die!' a shrill voice screamed as Saint Mars, in his Yokai Beast form, shot toward the sky, targeting Raki, who had transformed into a vermilion bird.

But amid the chaotic barrage of black and purple lightning, and the relentless clash of Conqueror's Haki surrounding them, Saint Mars faltered. The instant the dual Conqueror's Haki struck him, his flight faltered, and he plummeted to the ground, powerless against its overwhelming force.

Elsewhere on the battlefield, Saint Nusjuro—a creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a skeletal horse—sought to press his advantage against Crocodile and Enel. But the relentless roar of the intertwined Conqueror's Haki halted his advance. His skeletal hooves stuttered and stopped as he gazed skyward, watching the black-purple lightning surging toward him.

Even someone as fearsome as Saint Nusjuro found himself unable to move in the face of this overwhelming power. His agility, so terrifyingly effective against his foes, was rendered useless in the wake of Shanks and Ace's unstoppable combined Conqueror Haki.

"Damn it!"

In front of Ace, the two Five Elders, Saint Saturn—who is in his Human-Yokai beast form—and Saint Ju Peter—now a sandworm—faced Ace's overwhelming Conqueror's Haki. 

Countless black and purple bolts of lightning shot through the monstrous forms of the Gyūki and Sandworm, immobilizing them entirely.

"The sheer power of this Conqueror Haki... even my long-dormant warrior spirit is stirring."

Eyes sharp as an eagle's, Hawkeye gazed at the turbulent storm of black and purple lightning raging across the battlefield, his own heart racing.

Two Conqueror's Haki clashed—the mightiest man on these seas, the Flame, and the Red-haired emperor, their combined force unleashed in a roar. Even he couldn't escape its influence.

Thud.

"Damn it!"

Doflamingo, having barely evaded Hawkeye's sword, dropped to one knee. Sweat dripped down his face as his breath came in ragged gasps. 

Behind his bloodshot sunglasses, his eyes burned with fury and frustration. But beneath it all, there was fear—a deep, unshakable fear.

Ace's Conqueror's Haki had already left a scar on his soul, casting a shadow over him.

Now, as this man's Conway Haki surged with even more power, Doflamingo found himself utterly defenseless.

The kingly will within him—his own Conqueror's Haki—was cowering, shrinking in the face of Ace's overwhelming presence.

His Conqueror Haki had been completely dominated by Ace!

He cast a greater shadow on Doflamingo's heart than even Kaido, one of the Four Emperors.

"His Conqueror Haki..." Hancock murmured, her hand pressed against her chest as she gazed toward Ace's distant figure, her eyes misty.

"I want to be near him. I want to be close to that man." 

Her heart pounded wildly, her red lips quivering as she bit down gently, lost in confusion and longing.

---

"Shanks?"

From afar, Rayleigh watched the Red Force cutting through the weakened Marine fleet, heading toward shore. A small smile crept across his face.

"I didn't expect him to join this farce."

"The Four Emperors... Red-haired Shanks," Nami whispered, her tense expression softening slightly as she watched the ship approaching the shore.

Ace had spoken of these Four Emperors before. He'd prepared them for this moment long before the public execution at Sabaody Archipelago.

Ace's brother, Monkey D. Luffy, the one destined to become the Pirate King, had always wanted to meet this man.

Red-haired Shanks, once an apprentice of the Roger Pirates, had a close bond with Rayleigh.

Ace had analyzed him before the battle, concluding, "For now, he is not an enemy."

And before the execution at Sabaody, Ace had said one thing to them:

"If Red-haired Shanks arrives, this war is nearing its end."

Just as Ace had predicted, everything was unfolding according to his plan.

Nami and the women at Raki's back fell silent as they watched the battlefield as Ace and Shanks had unleashed their Conqueror's Haki, shaking the entire arena. Their eyes glittered in admiration.

The World Government, the Navy Headquarters, the Four Emperors—everything in this grand public execution, initiated by their captain Portgas D. Ace was unfolding as he had envisioned!

Ace was in total control!

As expected of their captain!

Their gazes locked onto him—the man releasing earth-shaking Conqueror Haki, joining forces with the red-haired emperor, freezing the battlefield in place.

Even the Five Elders were powerless against the onslaught, as Ace skillfully controlled his Conqueror Haki to protect those dearest to him.

Smiles bloomed across the lips of the women of the Entei Pirate crew.

Even in front of the whole world, Ace had launched this unprecedented execution, challenging the Navy Headquarters, the World Government, and the Four Emperors. The entire sea trembled under the Emperor of Flames, Ace.

And yet, he was still so gentle with them.

For a man like this, they would stand by his side, even if he became the enemy of the entire world.

Their eyes sparkled as they watched him, their faith unwavering.

——

"Red Hair! Do you intend to disrupt the balance of the sea as well?!"

Saint Saturn twisted his neck, struggling against the countless bolts of black and purple lightning, his eyes fixed on the Red Force docking in the distance.

Two men—both titans of this era and this sea—Red-haired Shanks and Flame Emperor Ace, had combined their Conqueror Haki into a devastating roar. 

With such a force unleashed, even the Five Elders, trapped at the very center of this clash, were rendered immobile.

However, unleashing Conqueror's Haki demands a toll on the wielder's spirit.

Conqueror Haki is not limitless.

Even in this era, how long can two men—Shanks and Ace—sustain control over their enemies by relying solely on the roar of their Conqueror's Haki?

Shanks must be using this chance to halt the battle and force negotiations, right?

But at this point, we, the Five Elders, cannot afford to accept any negotiation!

There are far too many threats to our rule on this island.

Once the Buster Call is initiated, the location marked by its signal must be utterly obliterated.

This is the embodiment of the World Government's absolute justice!

There will be no compromise. 

"Tell me, are you so afraid of the coming of a new era?"

'Tap! Tap! Tap!' 

Shanks, the Red-haired Emperor, stepped onto the battlefield, and with each step, terrifying black-purple lightning crackled from his body. 

The officers of the Red Hair Pirates followed closely behind him:

Vice Captain Ben Beckman

Sniper Yasopp

Chef Lucky Roo

Ship's Doctor Hongo

Navigator Bonk Punch

Senior Officers: Limejuice, Bonk Punk, Monster, Building Snake and Gab!

The full leadership of the notorious Red Hair Pirates had arrived!

"The senior officers of the Red Hair Pirates—every one of them renowned in the New World all come…" 

Chaton, barely maintaining his composure amidst the clash of Conqueror's Haki, glanced at the Red Hair Pirates, beads of cold sweat rolling down his forehead.

Another Emperor had entered the battlefield.

The Red Hair Pirates, famed for their balance and unrivaled strength, known as the "Iron Wall Pirates," were fully assembled.

"Shriek!"

A screech echoed through the battlefield as Raki, in her transformed Suzaku form, sped with impossible swiftness, landing behind Ace.

'Bang! Boom!'

A burst of lightning followed, as Nami appeared at Ace's right, her clima-tact spinning gracefully, a confident smile lighting her face.

To Ace's left stood Kaya, her angelic face shining with unmatched valor.

Behind Nami and Kaya were Nojiko, Vivi, Robin, Raki, Tashigi, Conis, Perona, and Merry, each standing proudly.

In their eyes, the deep blackness of Armament Haki flickered, their gazes unwavering as they stood behind Ace, ready to face the Red Hair Pirates.

All members of the Entei Pirates were assembled!

---

'Whoosh!'

From the sky, Admiral-level fighter Issho gently descended, his abilities lifting him from the air as he landed to Ace's right. Though blind, his Observation Haki emanated power, impossible for even the Five Elders to ignore.

Issho, Captain of the Second Division of the Entei Pirates, wielder of Gravity Devil Fruit abilities and master of observation haki, stood firm.

"This war… I, too, will fight."

——

'Zzt! Zzt! Zzt!'

Rayleigh's figure, cloaked in Conqueror's Haki, strode forward to join the ranks of the Entei Pirates. His eyes glowed with black-purple light as he surveyed the battlefield.

'Dark King' Silver Rayleigh!

All members of the Entei Pirate Fleet had assembled, except for the giant cadre members, Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Oni Brogy.

——

"This is unbelievable! The sheer power of the Entei Pirates' officers alone could overwhelm the Red Hair Pirates! They're terrifying... the Entei Pirates," Chaton muttered, his face ashen.

His gaze grew complex as he observed, still standing on the edge of the Entei Pirates' ranks, grappling with her own thoughts.

Why... why did she go there, Gion?

Chaton's eyes were filled with torment.

——

"Perona."

At the rear of the Entei Pirates, standing tall and proud, was Perona.

Moria's demonic eyes glistened with moisture as he looked at his daughter, recognized and accepted by Ace, now a full member of the Entei Pirates.

As expected of her, my daughter.

I must grow stronger too.

Moria glanced over at Issho's position, pondering.

Captain of the Second Division of the Entei Pirates?

Then I will aim for the captain of the Third Division!

Beside him, Bartholomew Kuma also felt the weight of Moria's emotions. No one could see the gentleness in Kuma's eyes beneath his sunglasses, but he, too, was brimming with hope.

With Ace's help, we will meet again soon, won't we, Bonney?

——

"I've always wanted to meet you, Portgas D. Ace."

Shanks, his Conqueror's Haki crackling, gazed at the Entei Pirates and their captain. The corners of his mouth lifted in a faint smile.

"And I've also always wanted to meet you, Red-Hair Shanks."

Ace responded, the same, curling the edges of his mouth.

The Red Hair Pirates. The Entei Pirates.

Two overlord-level forces of the sea, meeting for the first time on the shores of the Sabaody Archipelago!
