"Any further conflict will only increase casualties on both sides!!!" Shanks continued to speak loudly, but this time he drew his sword and pointed it at Sengoku.
"But if anyone still wants to go, bring it on!!"
"We'll be your opponents!!!" In the picture, the Red Hair Pirates appeared together, ready to plunge into battle at any moment.
"…!!" Seeing this, the Marine soldiers swallowed nervously.
"How about it, Teach…!! No… Blackbeard!" Shanks glared at Teach with dark eyes as if he wanted to tear him apart alive.
"Zehahaha… I'll stop for now…!! I got what I came here for. It's still a little early to be fighting you guys!!!" Teach turned to leave and signaled to his crew."Zehahaha… Let's go, men!!"
Seeing this, Sengoku's expression darkened, not wanting to see these villains leave the war alive.
…
Shanks looked at the bodies of Ace and Whitebeard with regret before saying.
"Everyone… Right now, help me save some face."
"Whitebeard, Ace… We'll take care of their burials."
"This battle was broadcasted to the entire world!! I won't allow anyone to desecrate their memories!!" Shanks seemed determined in this matter.
Which angered the Marine soldiers.
"What!!? Taking their heads will show the Marines' victory!"
"No matter!!"
Vice Admiral Doberman was interrupted by Sengoku.
"Fleet Admiral!?"

"Since it's you, Red Hair… I'll take responsibility for it," said Sengoku.
"Thanks," Shanks thanked him before heading towards the bodies.
Sengoku nodded and looked around.
"Quickly, attend to the wounded!!"
"THE WAR IS OVER!!!" He then announced loudly.
[Thus ended the greatest battle since the opening of the Great Pirate Age. The battle of Marineford was carved deeply into history.]

"It's over…"
"Yes, it's over, and the one who ended it is your counterpart."
"Is that great?"
"Certainly, it's great."
"But why don't I feel that way, Captain Roger?"
"What do you want to feel?"
Roger smiled, asking.
"I don't feel that my counterpart did something as great as they say in the forum and as ordinary readers here say," Shanks said sadly.
"I feel he should have saved them." He then added.
"Well, maybe if he had arrived earlier, it would have been a different story, but surely this war wouldn't have ended, and maybe many more would have died before it was over."
"You have to look at things from a slightly different perspective…"
"Newgate himself didn't unleash his true powers, because if he did, he would have taken millions to the grave… He's a good man."
Roger smiled as he remembered his clashes with Newgate before he became the Pirate King; every encounter almost ended in a bitter battle.
"As for Ace, his death was bitter and hard to accept for everyone. I left my wife crying at home, as you know… But well, that's what had to happen, and everyone has to accept it."
"What happened has happened. Your counterpart's arrival on the battlefield was all it took to end this war… You should be proud of that and strive to be like your counterpart in the future."
After saying that, Roger looked from Shanks to Buggy before laughing.
"Wahahaha!! And you, Buggy, who would have thought you'd become so funny in the future."
Hearing that, Roger's crew burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha!"
"Jahahaha!"
"Gahahaha!"
"Buggy is our legend! Wahahaha!"
…
At this point, ordinary people began to leave the art store in Batterila and return to their lives after spending almost half the day in the art store.
"Help me save some face!"
"Who still wants to fight? I'll fight you!"
"Hahaha! Teach ran with his tail between his legs."
"Even Sengoku respects Shanks a lot! What does he mean by saying if it's you, Red Hair, I'll take responsibility!? I smell something fishy!"
"Never mind that, man! When's the next volume? I want to know Luffy's condition! I can't wait to find out what happens next… This war will have very profound effects."
On their way out, readers who had already closed their volumes were discussing the final scenes of the war, which were still fresh in their minds.
…
Ohara:
The same scene in Batterila was repeated in Ohara. Most readers left the art store excited, but a few remained behind.
"I didn't expect this to be the end…" Clover sighed, commenting.
"Yohohoho! Me too, the Red Hair Pirates are terrifying… Are Luffy and we supposed to overcome this man and his crew to get the One Piece in the future?"
Brook laughed, asking.
"Who said that? Maybe Shanks and his crew have a deeper role than just obtaining the One Piece."
Clover replied calmly.
"What do you mean? Could there be something more important than the One Piece in this world?"
Hearing that, Saul and the others wondered.
"We recently discovered that we live on mountain peaks… The real world is submerged in the depths of the sea."
Clover said nonchalantly, then added.
"Do you think the desired end of this world's story is as simple as obtaining the One Piece? The One Piece is the real world."
The eyes of the people who heard that widened, except for Vegapunk, who remained very calm.
…
"Is the saga of the Summit War over with this?"
On Sphinx Island, Whitebeard asked quietly.
"No, there is still one final arc, a concluding one for the saga," Rob said, smiling.
Just like in Batterila and Ohara, everyone was leaving the art store and returning to their normal lives after enjoying the greatest arc they had ever seen, as most of them said.
"As expected… there is still more." Whitebeard smiled.
Seeing this smile, Rob also smiled, as did the Whitebeard Pirates.
"That boy, Red Hair, he did a lot. He's a good character, isn't he?"
Hearing his father's words, Marco smiled and nodded, "That's right, our counterparts must be very grateful to him… For saving them and retrieving the bodies of the father and Ace is a favor that cannot be repaid."
"That's right… The Whitebeard who died would be very relieved if he knew what happened."
"Now… shall we go?"
Whitebeard finally stood up from his seat, stirring awe in the hearts of his sons.
If the old Whitebeard had died standing in the manga, the young Whitebeard was still standing tall and more vibrant than ever.
Had this place not been the respected art store, it would have been destroyed under the crushing aura of this man.
Hearing their father's order, the Whitebeard Pirates and the affiliated crews responded enthusiastically… "Yes, Oyaji!"
The scenes of their counterparts in the manga reflected in their eyes, some were dead like Little Oars Jr., and others were crying and defeated like Marco, Vista, and Jozu.
Others were bitter, not knowing the meaning of life anymore, like Squardo.
But they all shared a common feeling… Endless hatred towards two individuals who also existed in this world.
"Teach… Akainu… Are you ready to face my wrath?"
Whitebeard opened his eyes, sending an imperceptible shiver in his sons' hearts.
Seeing this, Rob smiled, "I think if they want to survive this, they must leave this world, right?"
"Considering the number of strong people who will chase them."

BlackStar_BH:
Here is the conclusion of the greatest arc in the history. I hope I was able to present it in a good way that deserves praise and stands on the same level as this great arc... I'll see you in the next and final arc of the Summit War saga.
The upcoming chapters, some may consider as filler, but they are not. Everyone knows that Rob is the king of art in the Pirate World, so his exhibitions will not be limited to One Piece alone. But don't worry, they won't be long chapters, just enjoy breaking the routine before diving into the main course! Best regards.
