If there were a cure for regret in this world, then Kizaru and Sengoku would definitely need one the most right now.
Not only had Kizaru failed to save Enies Lobby, the Marines' symbol of pride and fortress, but he had also become a Revolutionary Army prisoner. If jokes in this world had ranks, then the two of them would undoubtedly be the highest-ranked joke right now!
Not only had Zephyr defected and taken a great deal of Marine secrets with him, but he had also gotten Borsalino captured.
Clearly, before the final battle, Kizaru did not have the slightest chance of escaping from Leo and the others' hands.
What made things even more unbearable was that the decisive battle was about to begin, yet they had suddenly lost one of their three Admirals. It was simply too depressing, too damaging to morale, too devastating to the army's spirit.
If ordinary soldiers saw this broadcast and this scene, their morale would probably plummet.
Fortunately, Sengoku had already grown accustomed to Leo's tactics. Before the two sides fought, Leo would definitely first rally his people, then employ strategies to shake the enemy's morale.
So after gathering the Marine elites at Marineford, he immediately cut off every external source of information in Marineford.
They were not allowed to read the news or watch broadcasts. All intelligence had to be reviewed by the staff headquarters before it could be released to these lower-ranking officers.
And sure enough, this news blackout, which kept them ignorant of the outside world, worked extremely well. Outside, everything had already become a complete mess, with every World Government member nation being defeated one by one by the Revolutionary Army, yet the Marines inside Marineford were still chatting and laughing, utterly unaware of what was happening in the outside
