One Piece - Heaven Defying Comprehension!

"The Entei Pirate Fleet has become a crucial factor in solidifying their position as the strongest pirate crew of this era!" Brannew declared.

"Each of their commanders possesses immense power capable of altering the balance of the seas.

The pinnacle of combat power on the ocean!"

Brannew placed two new bounty posters on the table, and the Marine Headquarters officers exchanged serious glances.

"First up! He was an unknown figure in the pirate world until the Flame Emperor Massacre,

During the Flame Emperor Incident, he fought Admiral Aokiji to a standstill!

Though his movements are subtle, his powerful Observation Haki allows him to briefly 'see' the future.

A monster capable of summoning meteorites and can cleave mountains with his devil fruit!

His strength rivals the highest echelons of the World Government's forces, comparable to the Admirals of Marine Headquarters!

He possesses Gravity Devil Fruit ability, and now serves as the captain of the Entei Pirates' Second Division.

'Dark Ranger' Issho!

Bounty: 1.8 billion Beli!"

Brannew's voice boomed as he pointed to Issho's bounty poster, drawing shocked expressions from the Marine officers.

Issho's terrifying combat strength was enough to match Admiral Aokiji in an all-out battle, without a clear victor.

This 'Dark Ranger' Issho—a previously unknown figure—had emerged from nowhere during the Flame Emperor Incident and fought Aokiji to a standstill.

That blind man, with his seemingly unremarkable appearance, had developed Ultimate Observation Haki, allowing him to briefly glimpse into the future like the Four Emperors' Red-Haired Shanks!

Issho's Devil Fruit powers, Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and swordsmanship placed him at the very peak of this ocean!

He possessed the strength to clash head-on with the Four Emperors, making him one of the three Admiral-level forces under Flame Emperor's command!

'Dark Ranger' Issho was given a staggering bounty of 1.8 billion Beli, surpassing even that of 'Phoenix' Marco, the Whitebeard Pirates' first division commander and second-in-command among the Four Emperors' crew.

He rivaled the bounties of the top lieutenants of the Yonko, including Kaido's right-hand man 'Fire Disaster' King, the leader of the Beasts Pirates' All-Stars, and Charlotte Katakuri, the First Commander of the BIG-MOM Pirates.

Issho's title of 'Dark Ranger' came from the name he gave himself when he first appeared at the Sabaody Archipelago.

'Darkness' symbolized his defection to the 'evil' side under Flame Emperor's command, while it also referred to his blindness, as his eyes could see no light.

As captain of the Entei Pirates' Second Division, the 'Dark Ranger' Issho now carried a bounty of 1.8 billion Beli!

"The next one is the final confirmed leader of the Entei Pirates' fleet!"

Brannew's voice faltered slightly, and he swallowed nervously as sweat trickled down his forehead.

The Marine officers watched the final bounty poster with tense expressions, cold sweat forming on their brows as well.

Even the Admirals looked at the bounty with grim faces.

"And the last one! The former vice-captain of the Roger Pirates! The right hand of Pirate King Gol D. Roger,

A legendary pirate who bears the will of a king and whose Conqueror's Haki can shake the very seas!

During the Flame Emperor Incident, his terrifying Conqueror's Haki reemerged, shaking the heavens once more!

He is one of the three confirmed top combat forces under Flame Emperor's command!

Captain of the Entei Pirates' Zero Division—'Dark King' Silver Rayleigh!!!

Bounty: 3 billion Beli!!!"

Brannew, with cold sweat on his forehead, pointed to Rayleigh's new bounty poster and shouted.

The Marine Headquarters generals, faces similarly drenched in sweat, stared at the legendary pirate known throughout the seas of the previous era as "Pluton."

This was the man who could fight head-to-head with their current Fleet Admiral Sengoku, a wielder of Conqueror's Haki and the powers of the Human-Human Fruit: Model Great Buddha—granting him the wisdom, strength, and spirit of the Buddha. Sengoku of the Buddha was a terrifying opponent, one of the strongest in existence.

At his peak, no one ever doubted that 'Dark King' Rayleigh could stand equal to the Four Emperors who now rule the New World like monarchs.

Yet, despite Rayleigh's immense power and legendary reputation, his bounty couldn't surpass that of the current Four Emperors. The bounties of the Four Emperors represent not just their individual combat strength but also the vast territories and legions of pirates they command. They rule like emperors over enormous stretches of the sea, with entire pirate fleets at their disposal, which is why their bounties are so extraordinarily high.

However, Rayleigh's experience of reaching Raftel—the final island—and his decision to join Flame Emperor's forces drastically increased the Entei Pirates' chances of obtaining the legendary treasure, One Piece. In addition, Rayleigh holds the ability to rally former members of the Roger Pirates, further amplifying his influence.

Thus, the Marine set a staggering bounty of 3 billion Beli on this legendary pirate, who had returned from retirement to once again shake the world.

As Brannew continued his report, the Marine generals glanced at the bounty list for the officers of the Entei Pirate Fleet. The sight of it made their foreheads grow colder with sweat.

The strength they were witnessing was overwhelming.

When comparing the combat power of the Four Emperors' lieutenants, the Entei Pirates boasted some of the strongest fighters the seas had ever seen with extraordinary power.

But even more fearsome were the three fighters in the Entei Pirates' fleet who had reached the peak of combat power—Admiral-level and beyond!

This pirate group was designed to surpass even the Four Emperors and had the strength to take on the entirety of Marine Headquarters in open battle.

During the Flame Emperor Incident, Marine Headquarters had suffered an unprecedented defeat, thanks to this terrifying pirate crew. The Entei Pirates were shaping up to be the strongest pirate group in the world!

Though these officers were famed across the seas, their combined power alone had not brought about the Marine's defeat. What caused the Navy's unparalleled defeat, and forced the World Government to cancel the Buster Call, was something far greater.

Brannew, trembling and struggling to contain his fear, pressed the final bounty poster onto the board.

Here's a revised version that tightens the language and adds a bit more drama:

"At last! The mastermind behind it all—the one who commands these legendary officers! He's the reason 'Flame' was added to the bounty of the infamous Entei pirate. The man who makes the impossible... possible!"

At that moment, all the senior Marine officers trembled as well, staring at the poster with wide eyes and expressions of suppressed terror.

In Brannew's trembling voice, he introduced the man on the poster, the source of their fear:

"The mastermind behind the Alabasta Incident, the Enies Lobby Incident, and the Flame Emperor Incident! The enemy of justice!

The cursed bloodline of the Pirate King himself,

The root cause of the chaos engulfing the seas today!

The one who wields the ultimate Devil Fruit power, commanding all the abilities of every fruit!

The 'Emperor of Fire' who controls flame puppets and an endless army of charred skeletons, capable of wielding fire hotter than 10,000 degrees—fire that can evaporate the ocean!

His mastery over the Mera-Mera Fruit has developed the most terrifying power in history! Stronger than any before him!

A man whose Conqueror Haki exceeds that of the Four Emperors! A man who commands the most powerful pirate crew in the world!

The strongest man in the world! The man whose flames could burn the world to ashes!

The man who commands the Entei Pirate Fleet and stands at the very pinnacle of this era!

The man who can transform ordinary girls into some of the world's top fighters—now we know!

The user of the Mera-Mera Fruit! The Admiral of the Entei Pirate Fleet!

Flame Emperor! Portgas D. Ace!

Dead or alive!

Bounty: 5 billion 55 million Beli!!!"

Brannew's voice quivered as he gathered his courage and pointed to Ace's bounty poster, his voice trembling as he made the announcement.

The titles of "Strongest Man in the World" and "Most Powerful Conqueror Haki User" now had a new owner.

From this moment forward, the man who commanded the highest bounty in the world, surpassing even the Four Emperors, was none other than Flame Emperor, Portgas D. Ace!
