Battle of Edd War

The Battle in Edd War was a clash within the seas known as Edd War between the Roger Pirates and the Golden Lion Pirates twenty-three years before the current time, and one year before Gol D. Roger was executed by the Marines.

Roger and his crew went against the Shiki's armada, with Shiki offering Roger to join forces, as Roger found an Ancient Weapon via reading the Poneglyphs, and with their partnership, they could rule the entire world. Roger refused, due to his lack of interest in world domination. As the two crews clashed, it seemed inevitable that the Roger Pirates would lose due to Shiki's heavy fleet, but as fate would have it, a storm suddenly hit the seas that the two were fighting in, and half of the Golden Pirates' fleet were sunk. Shiki himself got a steering wheel stuck deep in his head from Roger, with no chance of removing it without killing Shiki. Despite this, the Pirate King has earned the Flying Pirate's respect.

On the sidelines, Fleet Admiral Kong has received a report about this battle, and sent Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp to handle it, though they did not make it in time, as the battle already ended by the storm.
