The New World:
The New World was in turmoil. With the former Rocks Pirates asserting their dominance, the balance of power was constantly shifting. Among the most prominent were the Whitebeard Pirates and the Beast Pirates, both formidable crews with ambitions that often clashed.
A new conflict was brewing over control of a strategically important country, rich in resources and with a prime location for establishing a stronghold. The clash between Edward Newgate, known as Whitebeard, and Kaido, the King of Beasts, was inevitable.

The Battle for Drolencia
Drolencia was a nation known for its mineral wealth and strategic location. Both Whitebeard and Kaido sought to bring it under their control. The Beast Pirates, led by Kaido, arrived first, laying siege to the capital. The Whitebeard Pirates soon followed, determined to wrest control from their rivals.
The two pirate crews clashed on the outskirts of the capital, their battle shaking the very foundations of the city. The skies darkened as the forces of two of the most powerful pirates in the New World collided.

Kaido vs. Whitebeard
Kaido, in his dragon form, towered over the battlefield. His scales glinted in the dim light, and his roar echoed through the valley, instilling fear in the hearts of all who heard it.
"Whitebeard!" Kaido bellowed, his voice filled with fury. "This land will be mine!"
Whitebeard stood tall, his massive bisento in hand. He faced Kaido without fear, his presence commanding respect. "Kaido, you'll find no easy victory here. This land belongs to the Whitebeard Pirates!"
The two titans charged at each other, their initial clash creating a shockwave that flattened the surrounding terrain. The force of their blows cracked the ground and sent debris flying in all directions.
Kaido unleashed a torrent of flame from his mouth, scorching the earth and anything in its path. Whitebeard countered with a mighty swing of his bisento, using his Tremor-Tremor Fruit powers to create a massive shockwave that disrupted Kaido's attack and sent the dragon reeling.
Kaido transformed back into his human form, landing heavily on the ground. He charged at Whitebeard, his kanabo raised high. Whitebeard met him head-on, their weapons clashing with a sound like thunder.
The two engaged in a brutal melee, each strike powerful enough to level mountains. Kaido swung his kanabo with incredible force, each blow shattering the ground beneath them. Whitebeard's bisento struck with the power of an earthquake, each hit creating tremors that spread for miles.
"Raimei Hakke!" Kaido roared, swinging his kanabo in a devastating arc. Whitebeard blocked the attack with his bisento, the impact sending shockwaves through the air.
"Gura Gura no Mi: Seaquake!" Whitebeard countered, striking the ground with his bisento. The earth split open, a massive fissure forming and sending tremors through Kaido's forces.
The two continued to exchange blows, their Haki-infused attacks creating bursts of energy that lit up the battlefield. Kaido's immense durability and strength matched against Whitebeard's raw power and experience made for a titanic struggle.

While their captains clashed, the crews of both pirate groups fought on a massive scale. Marco the Phoenix led the Whitebeard Pirates, his flames illuminating the battlefield. He engaged King, the Beast Pirates' strongest All-Star, their aerial battle a spectacle of fire and wings.
"Phoenix Brand!" Marco shouted, unleashing a torrent of blue flames that clashed with King's fiery attacks.
Jozu, the Whitebeard Pirates' diamond-bodied warrior, faced off against Queen, the second strongest All-Star. Their battle was one of brute strength, with Jozu's diamond form withstanding Queen's mechanical enhancements.
"Diamond Jozu, you're tough, but you can't outlast me!" Queen taunted, his mechanical arm transforming into a powerful cannon.
Jozu grinned. "Let's see you break through this!" He charged, his diamond-coated body reflecting the cannon's blast.
The clashes between the officers of each crew were fierce and relentless. Vista, the Whitebeard Pirates' master swordsman, faced off against Jack, the Drought, their swords clashing in a deadly dance.
"You won't get past me, Whitebeard's whelp!" Jack snarled, swinging his massive scythe.
Vista parried with ease, his dual swords flashing. "We'll see about that, Beast!"
The battlefield was a chaotic mix of fire, ice, and steel, with each side giving their all to secure victory.
As the battle raged on, the tides began to turn in favor of the Whitebeard Pirates. Marco's regeneration and aerial superiority began to wear down King. Jozu's diamond form proved too tough for Queen's mechanical assaults. Vista's skill with the blade outmatched Jack's brute force.
Amidst the chaos, Kaido and Whitebeard continued their titanic struggle. Both were showing signs of fatigue, their once unstoppable attacks now slower but no less powerful.
Kaido swung his kanabo with all his might, aiming for Whitebeard's head. "You're finished, old man!"
Whitebeard roared in defiance, his bisento crackling with energy. "I'll show you why they call me the strongest!" He swung his weapon with all his remaining strength, the air around him vibrating with the power of his Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
The two attacks collided, creating an explosion of energy that rocked the entire battlefield. The force of the impact sent both pirates sprawling, but it was clear that Whitebeard's attack had the upper hand.
Kaido staggered to his feet, his dragon scales cracked and his body bruised. He glared at Whitebeard, who stood tall despite his injuries. "Damn you, Whitebeard!"
Realizing that the battle was lost, Kaido growled in frustration. "Beast Pirates, retreat!"

The Beast Pirates began to pull back, their forces in disarray. Whitebeard watched them go, his expression stern. "This isn't over, Kaido. We'll meet again."
As the dust settled, the Whitebeard Pirates regrouped, tending to their wounded and securing the territory. The battle had been fierce, but their victory was clear.
Marco approached Whitebeard, his phoenix flames still flickering. "We did it, Pops. The country is ours."
Whitebeard nodded, his eyes scanning the battlefield. "We won this day, but the New World is full of battles yet to come. We must remain vigilant."

The World's Reaction
News of the battle spread quickly across the New World and beyond. The clash between Whitebeard and Kaido became the stuff of legends, a testament to the sheer power and determination of these two pirate emperors.
At Navy Headquarters, Fleet Admiral Sengoku received the news with a heavy heart. "The New World is becoming more chaotic by the day. We need to strengthen our forces and prepare for the worst."
Vice Admiral Akainu, ever eager for action, gritted his teeth. "We should have intervened. These pirates are getting bolder."
Vice Admiral Aokiji, more contemplative, shook his head. "It's not that simple. A direct confrontation could lead to even greater chaos."
