However, what Carl didn't know was that the World Government fleet coming from behind to support them had been intercepted by the hundred thousand Fishman troops and couldn't come here to support them at all.
Moreover, thousands of meters above the World Government warships, those seemingly alluring white clouds were not naturally formed white clouds, but white clouds created by Koya, an Executive Officer of the Limitless Pirates, using her own abilities.
"Everyone, hurry up and arrange all the bombs properly!"
Above the white clouds, Koya was directing numerous Pirates to pile cannonballs, each with a diameter of two meters, onto the white clouds.
These white clouds were in the shape of a grid, with each grid square being ten meters by ten meters, so there was a similar cannonball almost every ten meters.
These cannonballs were densely placed on the grid's intersecting lines. At a glance, tens of thousands of meters in every direction were filled with heart-stopping cannonballs. If they were all detonated at once, even an island could be sunk.
Not to mention, these two-meter diameter cannonballs were Limitless Pirates' specially made timed bombs, and each one was several times more powerful than the cannonballs being used in the artillery battle below!
"Koya-sama, all the cannonballs have been placed, and Princess Rhea has already signaled that there are no top combat forces guarding the World Government warships in the rear. We can deploy them!"
Koya's subordinate came to report.
"Very good, everyone retreat immediately! Don't stand on the grid!"
Hearing her subordinate's words, Koya immediately ordered.
Hearing Koya's words, all those Pirates quickly ran back to the white cloud ship behind Koya.
Immediately, Koya began to adjust the position of the white cloud grid, so that these grids could vertically align with the World Government warships below.
"World Government trash, come and taste the cannonball baptism this girl has prepared for you!"
After calibrating the position, Koya revealed a devilish sweet smile, and then with a wave of her hand, the original grid-shaped white clouds all dissipated.
And all the cannonballs that were originally placed on the grid-shaped transport fell down at the same time. At the same time, Koya also flew down with those cannonballs.
As the densely packed cannonballs fell, no one on the World Government side noticed anything unusual.
After all, all the top combat forces on the World Government side were no longer guarding the warships in the rear. Almost all of the Vice Admiral and Rear Admiral level members had been dispatched to block the Pirates' insane attack.
Those left behind were mostly gunners operating the warship's cannons. Almost no one possessed the future-seeing Kenbunshoku Haki, and no one would look up at the sky and space out without looking at the battlefield.
"Not good, it's an air raid, everyone be careful!"
It wasn't until the numerous cannonballs fell to less than a hundred meters above the warships, causing huge airflow fluctuations and many shadows to cover the warships, that the people on those warships realized the fall of the numerous cannonballs.
However, by this time, it was already too late. At a distance of tens of meters, the cannonballs had already fallen onto the warships in less than three seconds.
"Detonate them!"
Koya, who had flown down with the cannonballs, directly pressed the red button on the remote control in her hand at the moment the cannonballs were about to fall into the Sea.
"Boom boom!!!!"
In an instant, all the falling cannonballs detonated at the same time. The violent explosion directly swept through eighty percent of all the World Government warships present.
That unprecedented explosion spread out like a giant Volcanic Eruption in an instant.
Under the violent explosion, any warship covered by the explosion was almost instantly blown to pieces.
Blazing flames instantly swept across, burning all the warships and forming a raging fire on the Sea.
"It's so beautiful!"
Koya looked down from high in the sky and saw a giant mushroom-shaped cloud of fire form in an instant. The magnificent scene was simply unforgettable for her.
"Help!!!"
"Run, jump off the ship, get into the Sea!"
"How can there be such terrifying bombs!"
"Someone is in the sky, she's the one who dropped the bombs!"
"..."
Under that violent explosion, almost all the warships and personnel covered by it were instantly killed. Only the warships and personnel on the edges were able to survive.
But as the fire spread, the warships and personnel on the edges also suffered.
"How is that possible!"
The terrifying power of this explosion attracted the attention of everyone who was fighting.
"Hiss!!!!"
When they saw the power of that terrifying explosion, everyone instantly took a deep breath. An explosion of this magnitude, even for them, the top combat forces, if they were at the center of the explosion, even if they didn't die, they would be severely injured.
What's more, such a large-scale explosion almost destroyed ninety percent of the World Government's warships.
Such a huge loss made the hearts of those who were still alive on the World Government side feel cold.
Needless to say, seeing this scene, they knew that they had lost!
They had not yet collapsed in terms of top combat forces, but in the confrontation of the lower and middle forces, they had undoubtedly lost!
"How could this happen?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was originally guarding the rear, received news that the support fleet had suffered heavy losses from the Fishman troops, and she immediately led several warships to support them. However, she didn't expect that as soon as she arrived at the World Government support fleet, the fleet she had originally guarded immediately suffered a devastating blow.
"Everyone, sail at full speed immediately! All personnel above the rank of Colonel who have not eaten a Devil Fruit, get into the Sea and protect the warships!"
After a moment of daze, Vice Admiral Tsuru immediately ordered loudly, making all the Marines and World Government members who were in shock recover from their shock.
The defeat of the World Government was already a foregone conclusion. What needed to be done was to minimize losses, rescue those who had fallen into the Sea, and pick up the top combat forces and core forces who were still fighting the Pirates. They could not let them be surrounded by the Pirates because they had no ships to leave!
"Everyone retreat immediately!"
After Sengoku recovered from the huge explosion, he also immediately ordered everyone to retreat loudly.
Now, it was useless for them, the top combat forces, to continue fighting. They had already lost!
Hearing Sengoku's order, almost everyone on the World Government side began to retreat, no longer engaging with the Pirates.
"gura rara rara, you want to fight when you want, and leave when you want? Do you really think we're that easy to deal with?"
"All Flying Pirates, kill them! Annihilate these Marines!"
"Ugogogogo, Lava Puppy, you want to leave? Have you asked my Dragon Breath?"
"Mama Mama, Yellow-skinned Monkey, give me your soul!"
"gura rara rara, Sengoku, don't be in such a hurry to leave, the old man hasn't had enough fun yet!"
"..."
The World Government side wanted to retreat, but the Pirates didn't want them to retreat.
With such a great advantage on their side, how could they let the other side retreat easily? Even if they were to retreat, they had to bite them, bite them hard, and bite them until they were afraid. Otherwise, they would come back to attack them Pirates next time!
Only by beating them until they were afraid and crippled would they be unable to launch another major war in a short period of time.
Even those great Pirates had brought out all their combat power, unlike before when they were only thinking about holding back their opponents.
Especially Whitebeard and Golden Lion, both of them directly activated their Devil Fruit Awakening power. This time, they wanted to show off their strength properly. They even wanted to kill a top combat force to establish their dominance, so that Nox wouldn't take all the glory.
"Hahahaha, no need to guard the ship, I'm joining too!"
Rhea and Hermes, who were originally stationed on the Steel Battleship and the Hades, also joined the battlefield, and the war of top combat forces instantly escalated and expanded.
The World Government's top combat forces who originally wanted to retreat found that it seemed, perhaps, it wasn't that easy for them to retreat at all.
