Silence.

Centered around Banana Island, the world fell into utter stillness.

High above, at an altitude of ten thousand meters, the members of the Revolutionary Army trembled as they witnessed this scene, an overwhelming terror gripping their hearts.

"SHANKSS!" Luffy stared blankly as Shanks was sent flying by Caesar's headbutt, skidding across the ice all the way toward Buggy's position.

Along the way, countless icebergs and waves were shattered, along with some unlucky pirate ships.

Ten miles?

Twenty miles?

Luffy didn't know—he couldn't tell how far Shanks had flown.

"A god," Dragon murmured after a long silence, uttering those two words.

Yes.

This was nothing short of a god from myth and legend.

That Golden Wings, that monstrous physique, that seething Blood!

Kid and Law, their eyes once filled with hatred, now fell into silence, watching everything unfold with indifference.

A bone-chilling sensation gradually seeped into their hearts.

Could they truly achieve vengeance against such a terrifying man?

"Luffy, I think... perhaps you shouldn't seek revenge against him. Cherishing what you have now is the right choice," Sabo finally spoke, his lips trembling as he voiced the words he had long contemplated.

Beside him, Ivankov nodded repeatedly, his enormous eyes brimming with terror.

Of the Four Emperors of the New World...

Buggy the clown had been scared off by Caesar.

Blackbeard and Shanks had been sent flying also by Caesar.

How could the pirates of the New World possibly compete?

*****

On the deck of the Red Force, Beckman's cigarette slipped from his lips, landing on his shoe.

The embers ignited the leather, flames licking upward.

Yet Beckman remained oblivious.

What... just happened?

Am I seeing things?

Where are the other forces I anticipated—the Marines, the Revolutionary Army?

I haven't even join the battle and it's already over?

Shanks, you're defeated way too fast!

King stood dumbfounded, the flames that burned at the back of his head extinguished.

Lucky Roux stood frozen, although his hands continuously chewing out the enormous chicken drumsticks in his hand.

Among them all, only Queen remained carefree.

Seizing the opportunity while everyone else was stunned, he hauled over a fine liquor from the Red Force, plopping down happily on the deck.

Munching on a drumsticks and sipping fine wine, he was practically in heaven.

"ROAR!!"

Across the world, only Caesar's endless, furious roar continued to reverberate.

As if declaring to all that Caesar was the strongest creature in this world!

"Mamamama, Caesar-oniisama, you are simply amazing."

Linlin, her face beaming with joy, snapped out of her shock and began walking toward Caesar.

"Don't go near him! Linlin!" Kaido suddenly roared.

Linlin was taken aback and was about to ask why when she saw Caesar, who had been roaring towards the sky, slowly turn his eyes toward her.

Those crimson eyes held not a trace of emotion and paired with his radiant golden body, he truly resembled a god from legend.

"Caesar, you..."

Linlin felt as if she were being stared down by a prehistoric beast, her scalp tingling with fear.

"Mama, run! His soul is terrifying!"

The three floating soul constructs above Linlin's head—Prometheus, Hera, and Napoleon—all wore expressions of terror.

They were creations of Linlin's Soul-Soul Fruit, fragments of her own soul given form as three elemental forces.

As long as an enemy's soul level didn't surpass Linlin's, they would never feel fear.

And on these seas, how many could boast a soul stronger than Linlin, the wielder of the Soul-Soul Fruit itself?

Yet now, Prometheus and the other two soul constructs felt an instinctive dread toward Caesar.

It was as if, should Caesar strike, he could utterly annihilate all three of them.

BOOM!

Caesar's eyes were devoid of emotion.

The moment Linlin disturbed him, his gaze locked onto her.

His dazzling golden form tore through space, golden spikes sprouting from his fists as he launched a punch toward the stunned Linlin!

"Vajrapani! Thunder Bagua!"

A kanabo crackling with dozens of black-and-red lightning streaks swung in at the last moment, smashing through the air and colliding with Caesar's fist!

BOOM!!

The world seemed to split apart.

The thick clouds above were shredded into crisscrossing fissures.

The ground shattered, and the ice within a thousand meters collapsed, revealing the seawater beneath.

"LINLIN SNAP OUT OF IT!!"

Kaido bellowed, his arms bulging with terrifying muscle as he roared and exerted his strength.

His club slid up Caesar's arm and smashed directly into Caesar's face!

CRACK!

Black-and-red Conqueror's Haki lightning erupted as Kaido's strike sent Caesar flying like a meteor, crashing hundreds of meters away onto the ice!

Linlin snapped out of her daze, and Prometheus instantly expanded into a massive flaming cloud, lifting her into the air.

As she ascended, Linlin grabbed Redfield and Gin, who were about to sink into the icy water, and tossed them onto Prometheus.

BOOM!

In the distance, the ice exploded in a massive eruption as a blur of golden light shot back like lightning!

"Wake the hell up, Caesar!"

Kaido roared as he charged forward, swinging his pitch-black kanabo.

Linlin quickly rose into the sky and shouted at the still-stunned pirates below, "You idiots! What are you standing around for? Get out of here now!"

Only then did the onlookers on the ice snap out of it, remembering the fate of Gecko Moria.

Who would have thought that a former Shichibukai would be caught in the crossfire just for spectating?

Now, no one even knew where he'd been flung.

"Everyone! Stay calm and follow us to Whole Cake Island for some rest. There's plenty of fine wine, delicious food, beautiful women, and entertainment facilities waiting. Don't worry, Caesar-sama will regain consciousness soon."

The Gifters were guiding the pirates along the way.

Crocodile hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to head to Whole Cake Island to check the situation.

If Caesar were to wake up, the balance of power in the New World would truly undergo an earth-shaking transformation!

At that moment, the voluptuous and scantily clad Aramaki finally arrived late to the party.

Wooden tentacles sprouted from Aramaki's body, stretching dozens of meters before anchoring into the ice and pulling her forward at lightning speed.

Her figure twisted and slid effortlessly across the smooth ice, moving with incredible velocity.

Soon, thanks to her exceptional Observation Haki, Aramaki detected the battle raging near Banana Island.

The combatants ahead made her doubt her own eyes.

"Kaido is fighting... that golden bird-headed freak? That size... could it be Caesar? What's going on? Are the brothers clashing again?"

Aramaki was baffled, but then she recalled the Marine's rumors about the Barbossa brothers.

Over thirty years ago, the two had fought due to discord, resulting in Caesar falling into a slumber for nearly three decades.

Thinking of this, a smug smile curled on Aramaki's alluring face.

"Hmph! Two brawny, brainless brutes. I hope history repeats itself—let that damned Caesar sleep for another thirty years!"
