Chapter 233: Retreat
Aside from Garp, the Demon God CP0, and all other admiral-level combatants were completely suppressed by the Dragon Flame Pirates. To say they were being crushed and beaten down wouldn't be an exaggeration.
The admiral-level fighters of the Dragon Flame Pirates were all peak admiral-tier existences, far beyond what someone like Kizaru—who had only just entered the admiral ranks—could compare to.
After Jiang Qize issued his order, the Marines who had still been able to resist were instantly broken apart, chased down and beaten one by one.
As for the vice admirals, there was even less to say. Although the Dragon Flame Pirates were fewer in number than the Marines, once they fought desperately, each of them was capable of severely injuring those vice admirals.
"Sir, if this continues, our losses will become extremely severe."
A phantom appeared beside Lou and spoke urgently.
"Hm?"
Lou stopped and expanded his Observation Haki.
His Observation Haki was also extremely powerful, instantly covering several kilometers. He saw vice admirals gravely wounded one after another, along with a small number of vice admirals and World Government personnel who had been killed, causing his expression to darken.
He also saw that even the admirals were being suppressed. Even the Demon God CP0, whose strength was only slightly below his own, was in a sorry state at this moment.
He hesitated.
The Five Elders had given the order to completely bury the Dragon Flame Pirates here.
But given the current situation, even if they fought for ten days and ten nights, there was no guarantee they could defeat them. On the contrary, it was very possible that they themselves would be buried here by the Dragon Flame Pirates.
"Retreat!"
After thinking it over for a while, he gave the order.
This time, their lack of clear understanding of the Dragon Flame Pirates had led to heavy losses, and he no longer dared to continue the fight.
"Yes!"
The phantom turned into bubbles and vanished.
Immediately afterward, a phantom appeared before all Marine personnel, issuing the order to retreat.
…
Half an hour later.
Aside from some dead Marines and weaker World Government personnel, everyone gathered together.
The woman wearing the angel mask appeared once again.
"Release!"
She issued a command, and the entire Void Battle Realm vanished. Lou then disappeared together with everyone else.
Meanwhile, the members of the Dragon Flame Pirates appeared in front of the No. 1 auction house at the Sabaody Archipelago.
Boom!
The massive bodies of Raptorex and Canglong slammed onto the ground, causing the earth to shake violently.
"Did anyone die?"
Jiang Qize swept his gaze over everyone.
"Captain, Buck is badly injured!"
Aisha said with tears in her eyes.
In her arms lay Buck, his body covered in multiple blade wounds, his entire figure soaked in blood. The most fatal injury was the one to his chest.
"With your medical skills, can you treat him?"
Jiang Qize looked at her and asked in a deep voice.
"Ah… I… I'm a doctor." Aisha paused for a moment, then snapped back to herself.
No one in the Dragon Flame Pirates had been injured before, and there had never been a need for her to treat anyone, to the point that she had almost forgotten she was a crew member.
But no one laughed at her now.
"Captain, I need to return to the ship." Aisha quickly entered work mode and said to him.
"Mm. Wind God, I'll leave it to you." Jiang Qize nodded.
"Hundred Blooming Flowers · Heavenly Vine!"
Robin also stepped in to play her part.
Beneath Buck and Aisha, a vine several meters wide made of arms formed, lifting them up and carrying them toward the back of the Wind God.
Immediately afterward, the Wind God beat its wings fiercely and shot into the sky.
Jiang Qize shifted his gaze to the others and found that, aside from the dinosaurs he had summoned, all of them were injured. Everyone bore numerous wounds, though none were fatal.
Even so, after this battle, they would still need a period of time to recover.
Finally, he turned his gaze toward Crocodile.
