"This is too exciting! Watching this fight makes me want to jump in and battle myself!"
Uchiha Madara left a comment under the video, and many others praised the battle as well.
"This is insane! Did this monster not even make it onto the ranking list? Or has his turn not come yet?"
"Exactly! The author's rankings for the 10th and 9th place last time didn't feel nearly as thrilling as today's live stream!"
"Whitebeard's performance in the Summit War was shocking, but he didn't show overwhelming strength. Honestly, I wasn't that impressed."
"I have no idea how this author ranks characters. Is this really the so-called combat power ceiling?"
Bei Feng felt frustrated reading these comments. He had ranked characters according to the combat ceilings of their respective anime universes.
It wasn't even a strict ranking—just a breakdown of power levels. After all, different anime worlds had vastly different power systems.
Many characters from the One Piece world joined the discussion, including some well-known pirates.
"Kaido! So this is the power of the Four Emperors Kaido? I'm going to pledge allegiance to him. I think he truly is the strongest creature in the world!"
"Exactly! Whitebeard is just a relic of the old era. I doubt he could even defeat this monster Kaido now."
"People grow old—it's inevitable. I've heard plenty of legends about Whitebeard in his prime, though. You guys are underestimating him."
Meanwhile, in a small town near Marineford, Teach was drinking and feasting.
"Fuhahaha… That old Whitebeard! He should've died with Roger long ago! How annoying!"
At this moment, only three crew members he had recruited were by his side. As for the prisoners in Impel Down, he had other plans for them.
Even though the Summit War had been exposed early, bringing the battle forward, it didn't affect his scheme.
"I just hope everything goes smoothly. Once Whitebeard dies, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit will be mine!"
"Father, is Kaido really that strong?"
First Division Commander Marco approached Whitebeard, still in shock from the live battle.
The oppressive aura from that fight wasn't any weaker than that of the three Admirals—perhaps even on par with Fleet Admiral Sengoku!
Whitebeard had stayed awake all night, but thanks to the effects of the Rewind Fruit, he was now in peak condition, as if time had reversed.
His powerful presence carried a newfound arrogance. Clenching and unclenching his fists, he could feel that the strength lost over the years had completely returned.
"Kaido? Back when we were on the Rocks Pirates, he never won against me. Not even once!"
Now that Whitebeard had regained his peak strength, another great upheaval in this era was about to begin!
The Whitebeard Pirates were furious at the online slander.
"You guys, remember the usernames of those who mocked our old man. If you see them, shoot them on sight!"
"They think hiding behind a screen makes them untouchable? I'll hunt them down to the ends of the earth!"
Despite their outrage, many people still doubted Whitebeard's strength after seeing Kaido's fight.
They also started questioning the original ranking.
Was Whitebeard truly the combat ceiling of their world?
Their doubts stemmed from the fact that Whitebeard never sought battles for the sake of conquest.
To him, the most important thing was building a family and protecting his children.
Even at his peak, only Sengoku and Garp had witnessed his true power.
Now, with Ace's rescue at stake, he would have to go all out.
Whitebeard wasn't afraid of death, and he had allowed his crew to undergo the Rewind Fruit's effects solely to save Ace.
Seeing these doubts, Bei Feng immediately posted a message in the live chat, directly addressing the criticisms.
"If anyone doubts the strength of Whitebeard—Edward Newgate—you're welcome to challenge him yourself!"
"As for Kaido, I highly doubt he would dare act recklessly in front of a peak-condition Whitebeard!"
Bei Feng firmly believed that Whitebeard, as the world's strongest man, had far greater strength than what was shown in the anime.
Kaido's fight had already proven that Eiichiro Oda had nerfed many characters to make Luffy shine.
As the statement appeared on the screen, millions of viewers were stunned.
Could it be that even a monster like Kaido wasn't the strongest in his own universe?
Was Whitebeard truly stronger?
But in the Summit War, his strength wasn't that overwhelming...
"Author, you're talking nonsense! Whitebeard is already seventy years old! He's human—how could he withstand Kaido's Thunder Bagua?"
"Hahaha! Whitebeard stronger than Kaido? Don't make me laugh!"
"Sure, he's a legendary pirate, but he's past his prime. He can't compete with the new era's Emperors anymore."
If Bei Feng remembered correctly, Marco had mentioned that Whitebeard had returned to his peak age.
And right now, he was on his way to Marineford to save Ace.
Once he arrived, the anime projection system would likely activate again, allowing a live broadcast of the battle.
This would be a completely different Summit War than before.
The old Summit War marked the end of an era, where legendary pirates fell one after another.
But...
This new Summit War would herald the dawn of a new era!
Bei Feng's interference had completely thrown the original anime plot off course.
At the very least, he had never seen such an intense battle between Kaido and Mihawk before.
With Kaido leaving Wano early, the entire story would change drastically.
"A brand-new Summit War is coming! I'm sure everyone is eager to witness it. Very soon, Whitebeard and his crew will give us an unforgettable spectacle—stay tuned!"
Bei Feng posted this message in the chat. He had no intention of arguing with those questioning the rankings.
Facts speak louder than words!
Everything would be proven in the battle ahead!
"What? When's the next battle? I can't wait!"
"Just watching that monster fight improved my own combat awareness!"
"Good thing I already followed the author's account. I won't miss the next live stream!"
"Hey, can someone ask if they're selling that Ryou-infused blade? If not, I'll take the demon blade Thousand Cuts!"
