Sengoku surveyed the entire situation, taking in everything happening across the battlefield.
His mind raced as he continuously considered strategies to deal with the pirates.
Through the Transponder Snail in his hand, he contacted Marine commanders in each area and made timely strategic adjustments.
His prompt strategic adjustments had reduced many casualties on the Marine side.
"Overall, our side holds a slight advantage."
"During the previous Encircling Wall operation, Sakazuki and the Pacifistas wiped out nearly twenty thousand of the pirates' main force."
