"No! That's Magellan's Venom-Venom Fruit!" Sengoku couldn't help but exclaim, his face becoming extremely ugly.
It was an incredibly powerful fruit; even a weak person who touched its user would die instantly.
Although it had terrible side effects, those toxins were nothing to a monster like Kaido.
Now, for Kaido to gain the power of the Venom-Venom Fruit... his strength had undoubtedly increased to another terrifying level.
"This is bad..." Sengoku's heart sank.
"Worororo, good!" Kaido couldn't help but laugh out loud, reveling in his new fruit ability.
He already felt the infinitely superimposed and terrifying power.
He was simply mesmerized.
"Now, I alone have the confidence to deal with this Seraphim Overlord!" he roared with a cruel smile on his ferocious face.
Countless people watching this scene felt a sense of utter despair.
The strongest weapon in the Marines' arsenal was the Overlord.
Now, Kaido's had the strength to surpass it.
What could the Marines possibly do to resist?
Next to him, Big Mom, who was just as powerful, was watching and waiting.
"It's over... it's all over," the people of the world murmured, their faces slumped, feeling as if all their strength had been emptied in an instant.
The sea breeze blew and Sengoku felt a sudden chill.
"Could it be that we can't win this time?" his eyes were filled with confusion.
Suddenly, a flash of sword light flickered in front of him.
"Buddha Shock!"
Sengoku was startled and instantly transformed into a golden Buddha, throwing a powerful punch at the figure who had just appeared in front of him.
The two retreated together.
"Shanks!" Sengoku gritted his teeth with hatred in his eyes.
He didn't expect Shanks to have snuck here without a sound.
"Good chance!"
Behind Shanks, Zoro, Robin, and the others ran quickly, obviously trying to rescue the prisoners.
"Don't even think about it!" Sengoku shot forward, but Shanks grinned and quickly blocked his attack.
Although Sengoku had taken a Monster Cell, his potential was limited by his age and the improvement was not as great as the others.
As a result, Shanks was only at a slight disadvantage.
"Sengoku, I didn't expect that you, as the Fleet Admiral, don't even have a second Devil Fruit ability," Shanks said with a smile.
Sengoku snorted coldly and ignored him, desperately trying to stop Zoro and the others.
Seeing them get close, he slammed his giant Buddha hand down on the execution platform.
The terrifying shockwave instantly destroyed it, and everyone was sent tumbling down.
However, as he fell, Shanks twisted in the air and sent a slash of sword energy came flying.
It directly struck the Sea Prism Stone shackles on Ace's hands.
"Fire Fist!"
Ace instantly turned into a ball of flames, the explosion sweeping away the surrounding rubble and blocking Sengoku's shockwave.
After landing, he looked around anxiously.
"Luffy! Vista!"
"I'm here!" Vista spoke with difficulty.
They rushed to his side immediately.
"What's wrong with Luffy?" Ace asked.
Shanks's face was ugly as he gritted his teeth.
"Sengoku has him."
Everyone looked over and saw the giant golden Buddha holding Luffy in his massive hands.
"Not bad! You actually saved two people right in front of my eyes!" Sengoku's face was livid.
"I really underestimated you!"
Seeing that Ace and Vista were rescued, the people of the world grew even more disappointed.
The enemy was already strong enough and now two more powerful fighters had rejoined their ranks.
"Worororo, How nice!"
"Mamamama! Sengoku, to have people saved from right under your nose... you're really in decline," Kaido and Big Mom taunted Sengoku, their faces showing endless ridicule.
Countless Marine soldiers looked on, their faces extremely pale.
"Just drop dead and die you bloody pirates!" Akainu was still roaring, desperately fighting.
"Pops, what should we do now? Ace and Vista have been successfully rescued. Should we retreat?" Marco asked, appearing next to Whitebeard.
Whitebeard glanced at Shanks in the distance and shook his head.
"Keep fighting. The Red-Haired brat won't leave until Straw Hat is rescued. And knowing Ace, he'll never leave his brother behind. Let's work together and save the Straw Hat boy."
"Okay! Brothers, keep going!" Marco, having already used an injury-for-injury style of play to get rid of Smoker, led the pirates in another charge toward the Marine headquarters.
The war was still going on, and more and more Marine soldiers fell in pools of blood.
"Well, Kaido, you deal with the Overlord," Big Mom commanded.
"I will lead the attack into the headquarters!"
"Good!" Kaido's fighting spirit was raging.
He transformed into a magma-poisonous azure dragon.
"Meteor Volcano!"
Based on the body of the dragon, with the Strength" Fruit as a boost and the Magma Fruit dealing the damage, terrifying poisonous magma bombs rained down on the Seraphim Overlord, a sizzling corrosion sound filling the air.
The next moment, the Overlord, unable to resist this terrifying attack, was sent flying backward.
"Overlord!"
Sengoku's expression changed dramatically.
The war was still raging, but he was realizing that this was the beginning of the Marines' nightmare.
Kaido's endless rain of magma and poison fell from the sky and any Marine soldiers who were touched by it fell to the ground, crying out in agony.
Even those who were stronger were left rolling on the ground, poisoned in a single moment.
Of course, countless pirates were also caught in the indiscriminate attack.
"Not good! All Marines, get out of that area!" Sengoku commanded.
"Mamamama... Are you still worried about that?" Big Mom said with a smirk.
With the help of her Rumble-Rumble Fruit, she amplified her voice and activated the ability of her Soul-Soul Fruit.
"Marines! Life or Death?!"
"Not good!" Sengoku's expression changed drastically in an instant.
This was Big Mom's most terrifying move; as long as someone felt fear in her presence, she could steal their very lifespan.
"Everyone, be strong! Do not fear her!" he hastily ordered.
However, many of the Marine soldiers were too slow to react.
Thump... Thump...
The sound of bodies falling to the ground echoed across the plaza.
Numerous soldiers, with expressions of indescribable fear on their faces, simply collapsed, their life force gone.
"BIG MOM!" Sengoku's eyes were tearing with rage.
In that single moment, hundreds of his men had died.
"Mamamama... their souls are really delicious," Big Mom said with a mocking cruel smile on her face.
Sengoku was about to make a move, but suddenly, a massive crashing sound was heard.
He looked up with a face full of anger and saw the Seraphim Overlord lying on the ground, with numerous cracks on its body, seemingly without the energy to regenerate.
'Oh no, it must have consumed too much energy fighting Kaido', the Five Elders thought, their faces turning ugly.
Kaido, with his four fruit abilities, was simply too strong.
The constant damage and the frequent use of the Sun Fruit's power had greatly reduced the Overlord's operational time.
Seeing this, a look of utter despair appeared on the faces of the countless Marine soldiers.
"Well... it seems the Marines' greatest reliance is gone," Big Mom grinned.
Kaido, Bullet, and Redfield all couldn't help but show ferocious smiles.
"Today, the Marines will surely become history!" Kaido's eyes were full of enthusiasm.
Sengoku and the Five Elders' hearts sank to the bottom.
The five Admirals all had complex expressions.
"Those fuckers!" Akainu gritted his teeth, his eyes full of unspeakable resentment.
Countless people around the world saw this scene and sighed.
The worst situation had finally appeared.
The Marines had no power left to resist.
"Is the world going to change after all?"
"From now on, is there no justice to protect us?"
Countless people felt sad and shook their heads bitterly.
At this time, they no longer had the slightest expectation in their hearts.
The gap between the two sides was simply too great.
On the battlefield, several damaged Seraphim approached Sengoku and the Five Elders.
A voice came from one of them—it was Leon.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, release Luffy quickly and retreat through the anywhere door immediately."
Sengoku, the Five Elders, and the others all trembled.
They didn't know what Leon was planning, but as things stood, they knew he wanted them to retain their last bit of strength and live to fight another day.
"Let's go," one of the Five Elders sighed.
"...Strawhat, you can go," Sengoku said after a long silence, finally letting him go.
He shook his head bitterly and gave the order to the countless Marines.
"All Marine forces... we... are retreating!!"
He almost yelled the last word, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug deeply into his palms, his body trembling uncontrollably.
As soon as the words came out, the fighting on the huge plaza instantly stopped.
The Marine soldiers looked on, flustered and dazed, their faces a mixture of sadness and unwillingness.
"W-what?!" Akainu was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief. But he immediately began roaring.
"I refuse! We can keep going!"
"This is an order!" Sengoku growled. "Everyone, immediately retreat through the doors!"
Kizaru sighed slightly and glanced at Aokiji.
"...Let's go."
Seeing this scene, people all over the world fell silent, feeling an extremely heavy weight in their hearts.
Countless people couldn't help but shed tears.
It was the end of an era.
"Worororo! Marines! Your time is over! The future is our era!" Kaido threw his head back and laughed.
"Go!"
The Marine soldiers, all looking pale like lost dogs, quickly began to escape through the anywhere doors.
"Kill them! Don't let a single Marine go!" Kaido laughed cruelly and ordered.
Immediately, countless pirates cheered, their morale soaring as they grabbed their weapons and desperately hunted down the remnants of the Marine army.
"My sons, since our target has been rescued, there is no need to act again," Whitebeard commanded.
"The war is over."
Unlike Kaido and Big Mom, the Whitebeard and Red Hair Pirates brought their own troops to a halt.
"Kill! Destroy the Marines! From now on, there will be no more Marines!"
"Make them leave all their Seraphim behind!"
Countless vicious pirates showed endless greed and cruelty as they desperately chased down the now-unwilling-to-fight Marines.
