The battle ended after half a day.
In the end, there was no clear victor.
Both sides broke off after suffering more than a thousand casualties each.
At sea, Byrnndi World actually had the advantage over Sengoku.
If Sengoku failed to react in time, a handful of pebbles tossed by Byrnndi World could devastate the Marine fleet.
The casualties were not especially high. In fact, losses on this scale were normal, though the fighting had still been brutal.
Among Pirates and Marine Elites who wielded Haki, injuries were far more common than deaths.
And boarding actions were usually a last resort after the ammunition ran out.
Even when Pirate ships or Navy Warships were destroyed, the people aboard rarely lost their lives. What Pirate or Marine who sailed the seas was not an excellent swimmer?
In the New World, battles that killed thousands or even tens of thousands were the exception.
Those happened when there was an overwhelming difference in strength, and they were fought on land.
Even when the Marines suffered tens of thousands of casualties, those losses accumulated over months of continuous warfare.
Otherwise, how long could even a force as large as the Flying Pirates last?
After half a day of battle and cannon fire filling the sky, both sides had all but exhausted their ammunition.
Even Sengoku had no desire to continue. He planned to head to a nearby Marine Base for supplies, then keep wearing down the World Pirates.
This stretch of sea would be his battlefield against Byrnndi World.
Of course, there was another major reason: he could barely contain the World Pirates.
World had none of Newgate's concerns when using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. He did not have to worry about hurting his own men.
Even in a head-on fight, Sengoku could do nothing
