After hearing what Sengoku said, Garp fell silent.
Yes, it's just as he said...
This sea now belongs to the era of young people like Luffy!
In the blink of an eye, he, Sengoku, Whitebeard, and the others were no longer the young people they once were.
Who would have thought that someone as powerful as Charlotte Linlin could fall?
Their prime has long passed...
Once, these children seemed insignificant in their eyes.
Now, they have reached the point where they can defeat them.
Even if Garp, Sengoku, and the others are the first and second in command of the Navy Headquarters, they can't guarantee they could defeat Big Mom in a one-on-one fight.
The fact that Law and Kidd managed to do it means that if they faced him, they too might lose.
For a moment, Garp looked at the sky, unsure whether to feel sad or relieved.
After all, he was old now.
But with Big Mom's defeat, it also means that there is hope for Luffy's battle!
Now, the only battle left is between him and Kaido!
If he can defeat Kaido, it will prove that there will be no suspense in this battle...
As Sengoku and Garp were deep in their emotions, the three admirals behind them stared at the sky in stunned silence. They were full of disbelief.
After all, they never expected that Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, would be defeated by Law and Kidd.
In other words, has the strength of an admiral been threatened?
Akainu was the most shocked. Did Luffy, who was once like an ant in his eyes, now have the strength to defeat him?
Luffy is stronger than both of them!
Since they can defeat Big Mom, is it possible for them to be defeated by Luffy and the others?
After all, he couldn't guarantee that he could defeat Big Mom himself!
Thinking of this, Akainu took a deep breath!
This is truly a terrifying realization...

Whitebeard Pirates!
"Defeated! Defeated! The first Yonko has been defeated!"
The moment they saw Big Mom fall, all the crew members of the Whitebeard Pirates erupted in excitement.
Led by Ace, Marco, Jozu, and others, they cheered from the massive pirate ship.
From the beginning of the battle until now, they had all been extremely anxious. Luffy and his crew were up against two Yonko!
Never mind the lesser fighters for now—the key issue was the immense sense of oppression brought by the two Yonko.
Even though Ace, as Luffy's brother, hoped that Luffy could win this battle, to be honest... facing two Yonko, he had no confidence at all.
But now, after seeing Big Mom defeated, his previously despondent heart reignited with hope!
Maybe Luffy and the others really do have a great chance of winning this battle!
After all, even those stronger than Big Mom have already fallen!
You must understand, Big Mom, as one of the Four Emperors, is known as a natural disaster, and she is as renowned as Kaido.
Before the battle started, who would have thought that she would be defeated by Kidd and Law?
But now, even she has fallen. Then it is no longer impossible for Luffy to defeat Kaido.
If even Kaido falls, it will indeed be a great victory!
Everyone stared at the sky with burning eyes, unable to suppress the excitement in their hearts.
However, unlike many of the crew members, Whitebeard, sitting at the front, trembled slightly—not from excitement or fear, but from an emotion shared by Garp, Sengoku, and others.
"Charlotte Linlin... lost?"
"It's truly embarrassing. Although I've long known that us old-timers would all fail one day, it's still surprising to see you really defeated..."
Whitebeard looked at Big Mom's falling figure, his feelings extremely complicated.
He had an unusual relationship with Big Mom and Kaido. After all, the three of them were once members of the Rocks Pirates.
Although they eventually parted ways, they had once shared the bonds of being crewmates.
He had a deep understanding of Big Mom and the others' strength.
The existence he once thought was nearly invincible on the seas had now fallen.
It seems this era no longer belongs to people like me.
People like me are remnants of the old era. There is no ship to carry people like me into the new era...
...
The Red-Haired Pirates!
"If I hadn't been drinking, I'd suspect I was dreaming!"
Shanks murmured while gazing at the sky, shock etched across his face. His crew members were just as astonished.
Unlike the Whitebeard Pirates, the Red-Haired Pirates were also struck silent in shock.
Everyone was stunned and speechless. Shanks was the first to break the silence.
"These boys have grown up so fast. In the blink of an eye, they've reached a point where they can defeat a Yonko."
"It seems we can't underestimate them, but... can Luffy really defeat Kaido?"
Despite his words, Shanks showed no trace of joy on his face.
In terms of allegiance, he sided with Luffy and the others.
But he knew well that even though Big Mom was defeated, it took everything Kidd and Law had—they unleashed all their potential and exhausted all their strength...
