"Ah!".
A sad and desperate scream went through the sky, like it wanted to tear it open.
"You bastards! You damn guys!".
Along with the angry shout, the Celestial Dragons, who were usually high above and thought they were great, were now in big trouble. Their faces looked twisted, and their eyes were wide open, showing lots of fear and anger.
"I'm gonna fight you!".
Someone shouted this first, and it was like lighting a fuse, setting off all the other Celestial Dragons.
They all raised their old, rusty gold guns and started shooting like crazy at the enemies coming like a flood.
"Kill!!!".
The loud battle cries went on and on, but they didn't seem strong enough.
Because they were fighting not only well-trained Marines with good equipment, but also strong and determined Revolutionary Army soldiers and cold, tough Pacifistas.
Even though the Celestial Dragons fought hard, the bullets they shot either missed or were easily dodged or blocked by the enemies, so they couldn't really hurt them.
But this useless fighting didn't make the Celestial Dragons give up. Instead, it made them feel even more desperate and unwilling to lose.
They kept pulling the triggers like mad, until there were no more bullets in the guns.
But even then, things didn't change at all…
Slowly…
A feeling of deep despair spread among the Celestial Dragons, and it quickly reached the entire battlefield of Mary Geoise.
They used to be proud, but now they were like lost dogs, running around, but they couldn't escape death.
At the same time, CP0, the World Government's best secret agent group, was also badly hurt in this big fight.
Since the Marines and Revolutionary Army had so many people and were much stronger, the CP0 members fell one by one. The agents, who used to scare everyone, were now badly hurt, with only a few left.
Even the God's Knights, who were known as one of the World Government's strongest fighting forces, couldn't escape.
Except for the new leader, 'Stinky Ox,' who was barely holding on because of his own strong power, many members had already died.
And the ones who were still alive were all hurt and weak, and it was clear they couldn't keep going for much longer.
Right now, the entire battlefield of Mary Geoise was a mess, with bodies everywhere and blood flowing like a river.
The World Government's side was losing badly. Only Imu, the Five Elders, and Kong and Shamrock were still strong and able to fight off the strong attacks from all sides.
…
Against the strong Marines and brave Revolutionary Army soldiers, the Celestial Dragons, who used to think they were unbeatable, had no way to fight back.
After a big, tough fight, the war at the bottom was coming to an end.
Right now, the Marines' and Revolutionary Army's medical teams were all working hard. Every nurse and doctor was doing their best.
They were racing against time to save the lives of their friends who had fought alongside them.
Looking at the Dream Study Group, except for Kuina, Yamato, Hog, Robin, Nojiko, and Reiju, who were still fighting hard against the God's Knights, the other members had all joined the busy medical teams without hesitation.
Especially Daisy, who had the power of the Dissecting Fruit, became a focus on the battlefield because of her amazing medical skills and many different kinds of powerful medicines.
She and Nami, Anya, Lia, and Sugar, who also had kind hearts, were going back and forth between all the smoky areas of the Mary Geoise battlefield.
They worked hard, and again and again, they saved the lives of the injured Marines and Revolutionary Army soldiers from death.
Even Kuma and Bonney were helping with the rescue efforts.
...
Ryuen stood quietly above the sky, like he was above all the noise and chaos of the world.
His eyes were cold like stars as he looked down at the smoky battlefield below.
Both sides were fighting hard, risking their lives, and every drop of blood showed their strong belief in the future.
The Marines and Revolutionary Army were fighting so hard because they all had the same goal: to make the sea peaceful and safe in the future.
Right now, it was becoming clear who was winning.
Except for the strong fighters at the top, who still hadn't decided who would win, the fight at the bottom was coming to an end.
But both the Marines and Revolutionary Army had suffered very bad losses in this battle.
Many lives were lost in the fighting, and the wounded were crying everywhere. The entire battlefield was like hell on earth.
But that's how cruel war is, and no one can easily escape it.
For the Marines and Revolutionary Army, these sacrifices might be hard things they had to go through to grow.
After all, if you look back at history, every government was built on the bodies of many who died fighting, after many bloody and terrible wars.
This government that will replace the Celestial Dragons' World Government is no different!
————
After who knows how long, all the members of the God's Knights except the leader had been killed!
And all of CP0 had been killed too.
Right now,
Looking around, you couldn't see a single regular Celestial Dragon on the entire battlefield of Mary Geoise.
They had all become victims of this cruel war.
The noisy, chaotic battlefield slowly became quiet, but that didn't mean the war was over.
Because even though the fight at the bottom between the Marines, Revolutionary Army, and World Government had ended,
the fight between the top fighters, which would really decide who won the war, still hadn't finished.
Loud explosions kept coming from far away, and every big bang sounded like it would tear the sky open.
At the same time, huge waves of strong energy were crashing all around, leaving a mess everywhere.
These sounds and sights definitely showed that the top fighters were still fighting hard.
Everyone knew that this exciting war would only really end when one of them fell!
