After receiving the news, Sengoku hurriedly ordered everyone stationed at the entrance to the first half of the Grand Line to retreat at once and avoid needless casualties.
After all, even if they rushed over now, it would be too late. By the time they arrived, the battle might already be over.
"If that man were here, perhaps we wouldn't have to do this!"
The first day without Borsalino, I miss him! —Sengoku.
After giving the order, Sengoku did not stop. He called Akainu and Aokiji, who were stationed at another entrance and still waiting for the Whitebeard Pirates to arrive.
"Bilbili! Bilbili!"

"What is it, Fleet Admiral Sengoku?"
"The Whitebeard Pirates have already landed elsewhere. Return immediately. The previous plan is canceled!"
"Fuck!" Akainu cursed outright.

The original plan had been for Aokiji to strike first and restrain the Whitebeard Pirates upon their arrival, then for Akainu to follow up with damage and give them a taste of their strength. Instead, the enemy had turned the tables on them.
"Understood!"
