Chapter 36
Fifth Gear!!! This is my peak!

The world's audience, upon witnessing this scene, was filled with anger and disgust!!

Fate World

Gilgamesh, his beautiful face contorted in fury, was disturbed during such an exhilarating battle, a feeling akin to having delicious food tainted by rat droppings.

Fairy Tail World

"To interfere with such a duel! It makes my blood boil…" Erza couldn't help but speak out.

The Rising of the Shield Hero World

"This is what happens when you aren't cautious enough," said Naofumi Iwatani.

"Iron Block? That's a Marine technique! Why would the Marines be helping Kaido!!"

"Plus, the Straw Hat Kid was fighting to save that country, so why would the Marines turn around and help Kaido?!"

"Yeah! Did they make some kind of deal with the Marines?!"

These were the thoughts of the common people of the Pirate World who didn't know about the CP0, a sentiment shared by many!

The moment the incident happened, the Marines' reputation began to plummet rapidly! A chorus of condemnation rose.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford

"That's the CP0!!" Sengoku's face was equally dark. As for the battle between Kaido and Luffy, he definitely hoped Luffy would win!

After all, as the grandson of Garp, and fighting to liberate Wano Country, it was logical and natural to hope for Luffy's victory.

"Damn it! Why would that CP agency do this in the future?!"

Sengoku didn't believe that there was no reason for that agency to risk their lives to stop Luffy…!

"In the end, we lost…!"

"If he had just unleashed the final blow, the Great Ape King Spear, maybe there would have been a chance!"

"It's impossible. Kaido already endured that attack. Doing it again would be pointless!"

"If that CP0 hadn't interfered, we wouldn't have suffered this regret!"

"We were so close to witnessing the birth of the world's youngest Emperor! But it was just short…!"

This clash between the new era and the old era ultimately ended in defeat, a defeat to the Emperor!

The Straw Hat Pirates

"How…!?"

"Luffy is dead!"

The crew couldn't believe what they saw, but the truth was there, Luffy had lost. No amount of disbelief could change the reality!

"It's okay, Luffy. This is the future, we can still continue to get stronger!" Nami managed a faint smile, trying to comfort Luffy.

"There will be many strong enemies to face in the future. We have to get stronger!!" Zoro's face was grim. If he couldn't even protect his captain, what kind of world's greatest swordsman was he?!

"Our journey has just begun. We won't stop here." Luffy was determined, vowing silently that he would get stronger, otherwise he wouldn't be able to become Pirate King.

East Blue, Foosha Village

The wails of the Dadan family echoed through the air!

"Waaah…aaah!!"

"Luffy is dead… aaah!!"

"Even Luffy died… waaah… I should have stopped him from going to sea!"

"Luffy gave it his all. Damn that CP0. If it wasn't for them, Luffy wouldn't have…!"

"Enough! Both of you, shut up..." Dadan's eyes were red, pounding her fist on the table.

"Luffy is someone who has repeatedly created miracles! How could it end like this!!"

The Red Hair Pirates

"He's done his best… all we can do is pray!"

"Create a miracle once again!! Like the last few times, rise again!"

Seeing the little chubby Lacri constantly shouting words of encouragement!

Shanks could only pray silently. And that CP0, hopefully, I won't run into them… or else…!

Unlike the side shrouded in gloom, the Beast Pirates were jubilant.

"Kaido-sama won!!"

"How could a mere Straw Hat be Kaido-sama's opponent!"

"Kaido-sama is the strongest!!"

The jubilant pirates didn't notice that their Kaido-sama was staring darkly!

This wasn't the victory he desired!

Twenty years ago, it was like this with Oden. And in the future, will it be the same with the Straw Hat…?!

Having such a thrilling battle interrupted was nothing short of humiliation!!

…Please give flowers…and collect

【Kaido glared fiercely at the white figure, his anger burning, his club, the Muramasa, clenched tightly in his hand!】

【"You should know the consequences!"】

【The veins on his hands protruded, the black lightning-wrapped Muramasa swung down with a thunderous force!】

【"BOOM—"】

【A massive roar shook the entire Onigashima, ending the life of the interloper!】

"Finally, that CP0 is dead…"

"Just looking at it was annoying… pointless!"

"It's like Kaido wouldn't have won without the interference…!"

The audience outside the video cheered, all of them finding fault with the meddling Marine!

【Transforming back into a giant dragon, Kaido descended to the lower levels of Onigashima, proclaiming his victory in this battle!】

【The camera shifted back to the top of the battlefield, the scene now eerily quiet, the only sound the wind whistling!】

【The camera zoomed in on Luffy's fingers, which suddenly twitched!】

【A massive elephant appeared on the screen!】

"So big!!!"

"That's really an elephant!"

"Dragging an entire island?!"

"It's just outrageous!!"

【"After 800 years, that voice is right there"!】

【"It's Joy Boy, he… is back!! "】

Onigashima

The Three Disasters cried out in unison!!

"Joy Boy!!"

"How could it be that little brat?!"

"It should be Kaido-sama!"

The Holy Land, Mariejois

"As expected, it finally appeared!"

"Is there no way to stop it…?!"

The Five Elders gasped in unison. The fruit they had been searching for and avoiding all this time!

【The camera focused on Luffy, who was silently smiling.】

【The booming sound of his heartbeat echoed across Onigashima!】

【His heavily wounded body began to emit steam, his form slowly melting!】

【A strange sense of excitement surged through him, his body contorting in the air, enveloped in white steam!】

【"Looks like I can keep fighting, and this heart beat is strangely interesting"】

【"This is my peak! And also my…"】

【"Gear Fifth!!…"】
