The war reached its thirtieth day.
Every day dragged on unbearably slowly. There was nothing but fighting, with little time to rest.
If the World Government's side had not had Cyrik, and the pirates' side had not had Liszt...
Without those two, many pirates would never have held out until now. They might have broken down long ago.
Forces arriving from all across the seas breathed new life into the World Government.
Many powerful fighters, including Issho, the "Blind Swordsman," tied down a great deal of the pirates' formidable combat strength.
By this point in the war, most people were utterly exhausted in both body and mind. Willpower alone kept them going.
They needed rest, but the war had not given them enough time for it.
Their purpose in fighting had shifted from killing their opponents to preserving their own lives.
Precisely because of this, losses among the high-level fighters and Top Combatants had actually been relatively low in recent days.
As the war dragged on, the Sea Emperors and Overlords of the Sea also came to realize this.
Civilian forces from all across the seas were constantly pouring into the Golden Sea.
The longer the war continued, the more people would join the battlefield.
And the pressure and resistance they faced would only grow.
The civilian population was truly full of hidden talents.
There was no telling how many powerful fighters had emerged from the Sky Arena alone.
Only a small fraction had actually become pirates.
After all, being a pirate was hardly an honorable profession.
The war can end now.
Shiki and the others all knew it.
They had no more forces to spare.
Were they supposed to summon all the pirates invading the Four Seas from far away, bringing them into the battlefield to keep the war
