At the harbor, Admiral Sengoku, transformed into a golden Buddha, was engaged in a fierce battle with Dark King Rayleigh.
The harbor the Marines had just finished building had already been reduced to ruins by the two men's clash. None of the buildings by the docks remained intact.
Not far from Sengoku and Rayleigh's battlefield, Marine officers were also locked in brutal combat with Roger's Crewmates.
To avoid affecting their subordinates and companions, neither Sengoku nor Rayleigh had fully unleashed their strength in the center of the battlefield.
Sengoku and Rayleigh devoted most of their attention to keeping watch over the battlefield. Their exchanges were more show than substance.

Although Admiral Sengoku could not see the Moby Dick atop the tsunami, his Observation Haki had already sensed a powerful presence rapidly approaching atop the waves.
Sengoku had also encountered Whitebeard before. Back when the Rocks Pirates dominated the seas, Sengoku had fought Whitebeard, who had been a member of Rocks' crew at the time.

"Evade the tsunami!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Sengoku had no mind to continue fighting Roger's Crewmates. Avoiding the tsunami and preserving the Marines' active forces was the top priority.
Those gathered on Water Seven were all Marine elites—the
