The death of "Rampaging Bear" Morant hit the Pirate Allied Forces like a depth charge.
News of renowned powerhouses dying in battle was common enough during a war.
But this was the first time someone as significant as "Rampaging Bear" Morant had fallen.
He might not have been on par with the sea's many greatest monsters.
But in terms of strength, he was an overlord second only to them.
His fearsome reputation had endured from the previous era to the present.
The Rampaging Bear Pirates he led had been like a nail driven into place, holding back the Beasts Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates from expanding into the South.
They had also stood like a wall to the west of the Overlord Dragon Pirates' territory.
They were one of the foremost powers on the sea.
The Beasts Pirates were undoubtedly the happiest of all. Nothing stood in the way of their expansion into the South anymore.
Although they still had to compete with the Whitebeard Pirates, they could at least enlarge their territory.
The death of a monster like him had far-reaching consequences for the entire battlefield.
Two Top Combatants on the World Government's side were now completely freed up.
The God's Knights member from the Adrian Family immediately set his sights on "Demon King" Nash, who was keeping a CP0 powerhouse suppressed.
The other God's Knights candidate came from the Jel Garcia Family and happened to be a younger relative of Saint Saturn. He turned his attention to Kaido instead.
With the first Top Combatant dead, a second would soon follow.
Besides, quite a few powerful fighters were already facing multiple opponents.
The situation seemed to be growing increasingly dangerous for the Pirate Allied Forces.
If they could not break the deadlock, they would be like frogs slowly boiled
