In this battle, where the numbers were completely disproportionate, the Navy held an absolute advantage in both manpower and combat strength.
But Mod's presence rendered the Navy's numerical advantage meaningless.
With strength that surpassed everyone present, Mod fought Fujitora and Kizaru, two Admirals of Navy Headquarters, alone, while still having enough power to turn his blade on the other elite Marines.
In a short time, more than three thousand elite Marines had already died beneath his blade.
At this rate, as long as the two thousand pirates on the battlefield could withstand the Navy's numerical assault under Aokiji and Ace's leadership...
As time passed, the Navy's numerical advantage would sooner or later vanish completely.

The hundred Pacifistas, possessing outstanding individual strength and near-immortality, forcibly shattered the
