Fleet Admiral Kong held the top position in the Marines during the Edd War, the legendary clash between Gol D. Roger and Shiki that took place 25 years before the main story. He was present when reports came in about the battle itself, watching the situation unfold from afar. When Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp decided to head out to confront them personally, Kong tried to stop him mid-conversation, insisting they weren't finished talking—though Garp went anyway, apparently unconcerned with Kong's protests.
