The prisoners who could be locked away in Impel Down's Fifth Floor prison were hardly ordinary people.
The zombies created from their corpses and shadows displayed astonishing combat prowess the moment they appeared.
That had indeed been beyond Sengoku's expectations.
Although Maud had violated their agreement and brought the Zombie Army out ahead of schedule, given the current situation, deploying the Zombie Army was not inappropriate.
Sengoku silently let the matter go.
At this moment,
Akainu was stationed beneath the execution platform.
In front of the execution platform, Garp's presence had become the greatest obstacle to Marco's rescue of Ace.
Even Marco, the second-in-command of the Whitebeard Pirates and a powerhouse in his own right, was helpless against the legendary Marine Hero.
Above the plaza, Fujitora had suppressed part of Golden Lion's strength, while Kizaru, relying on the properties of the Glint-Glint Fruit, faced Golden Lion's Flying Fleet from high in the air with the imposing presence of one man holding a pass against ten thousand.
To increase Kizaru's margin for error, before Maud brought out the Zombie Army ahead of time, Sengoku had dispatched several hundred Marine elite officers skilled in Geppo into the sky to help Kizaru relieve the pressure.
This timely order had indeed produced results.
At least, they would not have to withstand pressure from Golden Lion's Flying Fleet in the short term.
However, the diversion of forces, combined with the Whitebeard Pirates' frontal assault, had made the Rampage Beast Legion that had invaded the center of the plaza the Marines' greatest headache.
Before they could eliminate the Rampage Beast Legion rampaging through the battlefield, the Marines sent to resist the Whitebeard Pirates' assault...
In a sense, they were suicide squads sacrificing themselves to buy time for those behind them.
This was also an unavoidable trade-off
