As the terrifying Houka departed, the entire Marineford battlefield finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Whitebeard and Luffy, having rescued Fire Fist Ace, hurriedly left with Ace.
Akainu Sakazuki, who had gotten back to his feet, wore a grim expression as he could only watch the Whitebeard Pirates withdraw.
Kong, Sengoku the Buddha, and Tsuru hurriedly organized the remaining Marine officers to rescue the wounded.
This war had ended somewhat absurdly.
Who the hell knew that the Five Elders, the Holy Knights, and that never-before-seen King of the World would die so quickly?
Kozuki Houka's strength had already far exceeded the imagination of every high-ranking Marine officer.
Honestly, the number of Marines and pirates who had died at Kozuki Houka's hands might have exceeded those killed in the fighting between the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates.
All one could say was that life was unpredictable.
Their enemy had become a new boss, and they were helpless about it too.
They did not even have the right or strength to seek revenge!
Dracule Mihawk, who had wanted to leave, was stopped by Shiryu of the Rain and a group of powerful Impel Down Blood Servants.
Gecko Moria had already been beaten to the ground and directly taken prisoner.
"Want to fight?"
Shiryu of the Rain flashed a vicious grin as he challenged the world's greatest swordsman.
"Let's go to that deserted island nearby!"
Dracule Mihawk did not refuse Shiryu of the Rain's challenge. He did not want to remain at Marineford and be watched by the Marines.
He would first defeat these people, then see whether the new World Government would retain the Shichibukai system.
If not, then he would continue being a pirate.
Doflamingo had originally wanted to flee as well. He had even considered going to the Holy Land
