Dressrosa Royal Palace, Front Plaza.
After Sephiroth used Conqueror's Haki to knock out those pirates, the rest became much easier to handle.
He directly opened a Spatial Gate, allowing the Kingdom Army from the West Coast to return to the palace plaza and take all the unconscious pirates into custody.
"Sephiroth, truly, thank you so much!...
Thank you for saving my daughter and saving the entire country as well..."
King Riku quickly walked up to the silver-haired youth and gave him a deep bow, his voice filled with sincerity.
Sephiroth glanced at the Kingdom Army soldiers around him, who had all bowed along with the king, and the corner of his eye twitched slightly.
Damn it! Anyone who didn't know better would think you were mourning my death!
Though he was cursing madly in his heart, he looked again at Scarlett, who had been stuck to his side the whole time.
In the end, he could only helplessly offer some polite words.
"King Riku, there's no need for this!
Eliminating pirates and protecting justice are the duties of us Marines."
After the Kingdom Army had imprisoned all hundred-plus pirates in the royal prison, the battles on the South Coast and East Coast also came to an end.
On the South Coast, Zephyr had charged at the forefront and wreaked havoc, knocking out one foe with every punch. Only the two captains leading them could take a few more blows before being brought down. Tokikake, the other Marines, and the Kingdom Army were responsible for support and did not choose to clash head-on.
The two sides had deployed 250 versus over 1,000 troops, yet after the battle, their side had only lost twenty-two men, with thirty-one wounded or crippled.
Over a hundred pirates had died, while all the rest were captured.
