After Golden Lion died completely, the island beneath their feet seemed to lose the force holding it aloft. With a hum, it began falling downward.
Everyone on the island had still been shocked by the destruction of the other island when they suddenly felt the ground vanish beneath them. As though gravity had disappeared, everyone fell together.
With a thunderous crash, the island slammed down where it had been, sending violent waves surging in every direction.
Fortunately, it had not risen very high, only a dozen or so meters. The people on the island could barely withstand the impact.
Some people would certainly be injured, but nothing too serious.
More people on the island had been killed or wounded by the feral beasts. During this incident, many civilians had died at their hands.
It was not because the Marines had been incompetent. Golden Lion's attack had come too suddenly; the island had descended from the sky, leaving the Marines no time to react.
Yun Ye had only found this place by following Golden Lion's trail and combining it with his own deductions.
Otherwise, by the time Marine reinforcements arrived, Golden Lion would have slaughtered all of Loguetown.
"The island has come down? Has Golden Lion been defeated?" When Smoker saw the floating island begin to fall, he immediately guessed the reason while fighting the feral beasts.
When a Devil Fruit user fell unconscious or died, their Devil Fruit Ability ceased to function.
That meant Vice Admiral Nightblade had won!
Smoker quietly let out a breath of relief.
"Golden Lion has already been defeated by Vice Admiral Nightblade. Once we take care of these feral beasts, this incident will be over!" Hina also reacted quickly and shouted at the surrounding Marines, boosting their morale.
"Hurrah!"
"Vice Admiral Nightblade is too strong!"
