MTLNOVEL Chapter 26: Fifth Emperors
It has now been twenty-four hours since Gojo and Kaido started their confrontation. With each passing hour, their battle becomes more and more intense.
"Boom!" "Clash!"
The fierce clash between Kaido and Gojo is like the whistle of a rocket, the explosion of gunpowder, and the bursting of a firework. The sky is struck by thunder crackling, extending black lightning blades, surrounded by red. Waves of Haki burst irregularly.
The entire region is filled with explosions and flames at extreme temperatures. Craters of various sizes have shaped the sloping area.
The spectators struggle to keep their eyes open. Just the shockwave and the clash of Haki in the distance have stunned many of them, causing their skin to prickle like pins and needles.
Nothing can resist the clash of two conqueror Haki users. The intense pressure and aura keep everyone at bay.

Twelve hours have passed.
"Hahaha... Wonderful! I would have loved to kill you now, Kaido... But you really are a monster," Gojo laughs heartily, thoroughly enjoying this battle.
But every battle has an end. And at this moment, the fight is starting to lose intensity. Fatigue is setting in on both sides.
Nevertheless, Kaido stands tall with his kanabo in hand. Despite his mortal wounds, he stands proud, back straight.
There is a wide smile on his face that has not faded since the beginning, revealing his enjoyment of the fight.
On Gojo's side, the wounds inflicted by Kaido are not insignificant. Despite his infinity barrier, he receives a lot of damage. His white hair has turned red, soaked in blood.
*Cough... Cough... The sea has given birth to another monster," Kaido coughs and continues, "Why not end this fight?"
Gojo, understanding Kaido's intention to finish it, nods. "It was a very beautiful battle... Kaido!!!" he says, preparing for the final round.
"Let's end our battle here," roars Kaido, rushing towards Gojo.
--
The silence that had settled in the battle between Kaido and Gojo is suddenly shattered, stunning the spectators from afar. After the fight resumed, the infinity barrier disperses.
"What just happened... Why did the pressure become so strong?" asks a Marine officer, terrified.
"I see... The battle is about to end! But what power... I must inform Sengoku-san," murmurs Kizaru.
This fight, which had lost intensity, resumes with even more violent crashes, showing their desire to emerge victorious.
All the people present are fascinated by this spectacle. Among the weaker-minded, there is only fear on their faces.
Sea creatures flee, waves rise, thunder roars everywhere. This land that was once the island of death begins to disappear.
This battle will forever be etched in the memory of those present. Thus, twelve more hours have passed. The world has witnessed a confrontation of unprecedented scale, which will forever mark the history of piracy.
In the days that follow, the newspapers only talk about this event, relaying Gojo's exploits against Kaido around the globe. A new era is dawning, where new names will be inscribed in legend.

The next day,
As the News Coo delivers the newspaper, the seas remain silent in the face of the latest news. Especially the headline "The fifth emperor!"
The front page shows an image of a battle between Kaido and Gojo. The strongest creature and the most hated man of dragons faced off!
The result of the battle:
- Duration of the fight: two days and two nights
- Equality between Emperor Kaido of the Hundred Beasts and Gojo of the Eternal Eyes
- Faced with his incredible display of power, the World Government and the Marines have no choice but to name the most hated man of the celestial dragons as the Fifth Emperor
- The balance of power has just been broken...
The news has spread far and wide!
An old retired pirate reads the news enthusiastically while smoking a cigarette. "Now that another monster has joined the pirates, I wonder what the World Government will do... Well, there will be turmoil everywhere in the world."
"Incredible!!! A new emperor... There will surely be wars for the distribution of territories. But does that mean nothing has changed?" some wonder.
The news spreads like wildfire. It has spread everywhere. It has shaken all the powers of the Grand Line.
Following this news, the world was on edge. A new era was coming. Times are changing. Everyone wondered if the Marines would ever manage to dethrone these monsters?
The balance of the sea is about to be broken. A slight nudge could lead to something uncontrollable.
Before the Marines could react, a reaction came from the World Government like that of a panicked child in a dark alley.
Before they could contact the Morgans, the news had spread. What is done cannot be undone.
The world now knows, the man who climbed to Mary Geoise for his own pleasure, going as far as killing three of the celestial dragons, has just been named Emperor of the Seas!
