The New Four Emperors
Only a handful of beings paid attention to Kaido's last titanic roar, the echo of his defeat resonating on the island like a funeral lament.
The incandescent magma, witness to the fall of two titans, had engulfed Big Mom, the Queen of Totto Land, along with Kaido himself, the "Strongest Creature."
Inuarashi, the mink leader, with a voice filled with emotion, conveyed the news to every corner of Onigashima. The era of terror had ended. Luffy, the young Straw Hat pirate, had achieved the impossible: overthrowing the invincible emperor. After twenty years of suffering, revenge was sweet and freedom, a long-awaited reality.
Momonosuke, the rightful heir of the Kozuki Shogunate, emerged from the shadows, transformed into an adult man. With his sword held high, he addressed his people, his voice resonating with strength and determination. "The tyrannical regime of Orochi and the threat of Kaido have been eradicated!" he proclaimed. "On my journey, I found powerful and passionate friends. Together, the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai alliance conquered Onigashima."
With a voice trembling with emotion, Momonosuke uttered his final words. "My name, given to me by my father, means 'insurmountable,'" he said. "I swear to live up to that name and restore the barren lands of this country that were once a paradise. But I need your strength! I have transcended twenty years to save this land. From this moment on, Wano will be guided by me, Kozuki Momonosuke!"
Momonosuke's words ignited a flame of hope in the hearts of his people. Tears of joy mixed with those of pain for the lost years. Wano had risen from the ashes, ready to build a prosperous future under the leadership of its young Shogun.
Amidst the celebration, the Red Scabbards, the loyal samurais of Oden, could not hold back their tears. The joy of victory was mixed with nostalgia for their lost lord. In Momonosuke's eyes, they saw the reflection of their former leader, a promise of a better future for Wano.
The victory in Onigashima not only signified the liberation of Wano but also the beginning of a new era.

Amidst the euphoria reigning in Wano, a giant silently watched from the depths of the sea. Zunesha, the colossal elephant-island, had witnessed the epic battle and the fall of Kaido, the emperor who had oppressed the country for years. But despite the general joy, a question tormented the mind of the ancient giant:
Kaido's last words, uttered in his agony, had resonated strongly with Zunesha. "Go to West Blue... and let him save us," the ex-emperor had murmured.
Doubt gnawed at Zunesha. Was Kaido referring to the return of his former captain? Could it be possible for the ninja god to resurrect? It made no sense, but Kaido's words deeply unsettled him.
Zunesha debated whether to share his concern with Momonosuke, the new Shogun of Wano. If what Kaido said was true, the reappearance of Hashirama could bring significant changes, both for Wano and the rest of the world. However, Zunesha didn't know if it was right to interfere with the country's destiny.
Sighing deeply, Zunesha decided to stay in the coastal waters of Wano for now. He would watch closely what happened in the seas, waiting for the truth to reveal itself.

Amidst the celebration of victory in Wano, Nico Robin, the archaeologist of the Straw Hat Pirates, couldn't help but feel a twinge of unease. Despite the general joy, her analytical mind couldn't set aside Kaido's last words.
Robin had been one of the few people who heard the defeated Emperor's last cry. His words, though incoherent, had awakened a key question in her: To whom was Kaido referring when he mentioned "go to West Blue and let him save us"?
Her memory took her to the historical records of Ohara, her birthplace, where it was mentioned that Kaido had had a captain. A man from Wano, the former ruler of the country, whose history had been silenced by the World Government. The information was vague but sufficient.
Could it be that this mysterious captain was still alive, hidden in the West Blue? And if Kaido was calling him to return and reclaim Wano's throne? The idea was fascinating but also disturbing.
Robin dismissed the thought for a moment. There wasn't enough evidence to support it, and the priority was to celebrate Wano's victory and liberation. However, the seed of doubt had been planted.
"Hopefully, I can find some information about this man in Wano!" she murmured to herself.

In the turbulent waters of the Grand Line, the news of the defeat of two sea titans, Kaido and Big Mom, echoed like thunder.
The shockwave of astonishment shook the foundations of every island, carrying with it a whirlwind of reactions. In the most remote corners, pirates from all backgrounds gathered in smoky taverns, exchanging stories with wide eyes and whispering voices. The era of the Four Emperors, a time of relative peace imposed by the terror of these colossi, seemed to be coming to an end.
At the center of this historical earthquake were the ones responsible for the feat: Monkey D. Luffy, captain of the Straw Hats, Eustass "Captain" Kid, leading his eponymous crew, and Trafalgar Law, leader of the Heart Pirates.
Their names, once whispered with respect and fear, were now spoken with admiration and reverence. They were the new heroes, the young captains who had challenged the Yonko and proved their worth to the world. Their fame soared like a comet, eclipsing the brightest stars in the pirate firmament.
The fall of Kaido and Big Mom had left a power vacuum that many longed to fill. Ambition, like an inextinguishable fire, burned in the hearts of pirates from all generations.
New names, once hidden in the shadows, emerged with force, ready to claim their own piece of the New World. Among them, some sought revenge for the atrocities committed by the fallen Yonko, others craved power and glory, while others simply desired the freedom to sail without restrictions.
The sea, once plunged into tense calm, now stood on the brink of an explosion of violence and unrestrained ambition.
In the imposing towers of Mary Geoise, the seat of the World Government, the news of the Yonko's fall had unleashed a storm of worry and fear.
The Marines, the armed force of this government, prepared to intervene, aware that the impending instability could threaten the world order so arduously built. However, the magnitude of the changes taking place was so great that even they, the most powerful military force in the world, felt powerless to control it all.
Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, a new era began to take shape. The Four Emperors, once an untouchable figure, were reduced to just two:
Shanks, the Red-Haired, a veteran and respected figure by all.
Marshall D. Teach, known as Blackbeard, a ruthless and ambitious pirate seeking the legendary One Piece.
However, two new names joined this list of titans:
Monkey D. Luffy, the young captain of the Straw Hats, whose determination and indomitable spirit had inspired thousands.
And Buggy, the unpredictable clown, whose presence in this pantheon of power was as unexpected as it was baffling.
