The World Government also knew that such actions would have negative consequences, costing it many allies.
Unfortunately, there were no second chances. The brutality of war exceeded anything they had imagined.
Very few factions managed to emerge unscathed.

Even if they escaped out to sea, the World Government still sent people to secretly hunt them down and seize their assets.
Since it had already acted, it had to stamp them out completely.
Especially those weaker factions that had suffered devastating losses.
Dealing with them was undoubtedly easier for the World Government.
It could also obtain vast amounts of wealth to offset its losses and provide for the future.
