In the Great Pirate Era, countless powers rose, and the balance of power kept shifting as the story progressed.
First generation: Logia users were invincible. The only way to win was to find their weakness through sheer ingenuity!
Second generation: Haki burst onto the scene. Martial artists and swordsmen could also become the World's Strongest!
Third generation: Devil Fruit Awakening turned the battlefield upside down. Mastering both Haki and Devil Fruits became the winning formula!
Fourth generation: Conqueror's Haki coating shook the world. Haki alone stood above everything!
Fifth generation: The script had already been written. The Age of the Gods had arrived, and only godly Devil Fruits could claim to be the ultimate power in the world!
…
As the saying goes, each generation has its own gods. Those who fail to keep up with the times will eventually be left behind.

“System! Add points!!”
