On the battlefield, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates withdrew one after another while the Marines pursued relentlessly from behind, throwing the area into constant chaos.
Thanks to Enel's attentive protection, the Thunder God Pirates suffered no casualties, though many of them were injured.
Enel's support was one reason, but their own strength was their greatest safeguard for remaining unharmed on this battlefield.
This was the result of Enel's careful selection. Those who were too weak remained aboard the Flying Ship, responsible only for providing fire support during the retreat.
As for Catarina Devon and the others, they had already engaged the Shichibukai after the Thunder God Pirates arrived.
This was likely the wisest choice. Both sides maintained a high degree of tacit understanding; though the battle appeared fierce, there was not the slightest killing intent behind it.
Catarina Devon faced the "Empress," Hancock. Though she had a hobby of hunting beautiful women and collecting their heads, she did not dare entertain any other thoughts when facing Hancock.
Because after she confronted Hancock, Dawn had warned her through the Contract, completely extinguishing her previous little schemes.
Hancock had naturally received the same message. The two of them tacitly went through the motions on the battlefield, then decisively led their subordinates away when Enel announced the retreat.
After witnessing Enel's displayed strength, those who had escaped from Impel Down all chose to join him. Even "Big Eater" Bacchus Choate did the same.
After all, becoming one of the Four Emperors suited their desires perfectly.
The strength of the Thunder God Pirates had been completely revealed in this Summit War!
After the Thunder God Pirates had finished withdrawing, top officers lacking means of escape, such as Moria and Wapol, also began to retreat.
This freed up the Marines' highest combat power. Sengoku
