[Amidst Luffy's impassioned speech and Momonosuke's commanding presence,]
[Thousands within the quarry ignited a fierce determination to confront Kaido and Orochi!]
[With less than five days before the impending crusade, preparations were underway throughout the quarry.]
[Having clashed with Queen's forces previously, many within the quarry had fallen victim to Queen's virus.]
[Though Queen had eluded capture, those remaining were subdued by Tama's Devil Fruit power.]
[Yet, the threat of the virus persisted, its danger unabated!]
[Thankfully, Chopper, as a skilled doctor, tirelessly experimented with remedies.]
[Eventually, Luffy and the majority infected were cured, even as Kaido's men, now under control, apprehended the fleeing Queen.]
[This led them to mistakenly believe that rebellion in the quarry had been quelled, setting the stage for what came next…]
[Much of the marketplace now fell under Luffy's domain, providing sanctuary for all to recuperate before the impending showdown.]
[Simultaneously, under Queen's guidance, Big Mom was transported to Kaido's stronghold.]
[Despite being bound by Seastone chains, her formidable presence, upon regaining her memories, remained undiminished!]
[A single glance from her instilled fear in countless underlings of Kaido.]
[At that moment, Kaido emerged, his expression darkening upon sighting Big Mom.]
["Charlotte Linlin," he uttered coldly, "I warned you, stepping foot in Wano would invite dire consequences."]
["Are you deaf to my warnings?"]
[Big Mom's expression soured at his words.]
["Kaido, it's time to settle this. Are you prepared to let me go unscathed?"]
[Kaido smirked icily. "If you're not afraid, let's see who stands stronger between us!"]
[Without hesitation, Kaido released the restraints binding Big Mom.]
[In an instant, both titans rose to their full stature, emanating a terrifying aura as they squared off!]
[This prompted Kaido's minions to instinctively retreat, fearing the ensuing clash might engulf them all.]
[For this was a battle between emperors, a spectacle that left countless spectators on the edge of their seats!]
They never anticipated witnessing such an electrifying spectacle during the live broadcast featuring Luffy.
To see the Yonko clash against each other was truly unexpected!
You see, among the most formidable individuals across the entire sea, aside from the admirals of the Navy Headquarters, stand the Yonko!
Each of the four emperors possesses enough might to be hailed as the paramount powerhouse of the sea.
Though they hold equal status in the minds of many, the true pecking order remains a mystery!
After all, they've never engaged in a collective showdown, and even if they had, no one was privy to it.
Now, the live broadcast in the sky has opened up to the entire world, granting everyone a front-row seat to the confrontation between Big Mom and Kaido.
One of them is renowned as a Natural Disaster!
An entity even acclaimed as the strongest creature in the world!
What kind of awe-inspiring spectacle will unfold in their clash?
Not to mention the myriad spectators, brimming with anticipation and excitement, eagerly awaiting the outcome, including the numerous titans of the sea.
Whitebeard, Garp, Shanks, and Dragon also cast their gaze skyward.
They too ponder who holds the upper hand in this clash between Kaido and Big Mom.
The Whitebeard Pirates!
Among them, the crew and officers of the Whitebeard Pirates wore varied expressions as they gazed at the heavens.
There was astonishment, anticipation, curiosity, and awe...
Even though they sailed under Whitebeard's banner, who himself was one of the Four Emperors, they remained uncertain of the pecking order among the Four Emperors!
But now, there was something for everyone to behold...
Seated upon the grandest chair amidst the ship, Whitebeard observed the sky with a smile on his face...
"Kaido and Charlotte Linlin?"
"The two used to relish their clashes decades ago, but after all this time, it remains a mystery who stands as the stronger and who the weaker!"
"This is truly a question that weighs heavily on everyone's minds..."
For Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido, a special bond lingered in his heart.
Long ago, they sailed under the same flag, belonging to the notorious Rocks Pirates.
In essence, they were comrades.
Yet, despite sharing the seas as Emperors now, Whitebeard felt no kinship with Big Mom or Kaido.
The ethos aboard his own ship differed vastly from what he had hoped for.
While they may be considered friends, their paths seldom crossed since they ascended to the status of Emperors.
In Whitebeard's recollection, Big Mom and Kaido had their disagreements in their youth.
Now, he couldn't discern who stood stronger or weaker.
With a contemplative gaze, he cast his eyes towards the sky...
