Half a day had passed, and the war on Dragon Island still raged.
The Overlord Dragon Pirates fought fiercely, but their disadvantage in numbers kept pushing them back.
One member after another fell.
The Silver Axe Pirates seemed endless. Every time one went down, another took his place.
After fighting without respite, many of the Overlord Dragon Pirates had exhausted themselves and were surrounded and killed by the Silver Axe Pirates.
The Overlord Dragon Pirates had numbered more than thirty Dragon People warriors, but they had lost nearly half of them in just half a day.
The losses were devastating.
Over a decade ago, during their time with the Rocks Pirates, the Dragon People had fought countless battles without losing a single member.
Of course, that was partly because they had stuck together.
Even after the Overlord Dragon Pirates were founded, through nearly two years of bloody fighting, not one of the Dragon People had died.
They had never imagined losses like these.
The Overlord Dragon Pirates had also lost nearly half their total fighting force, leaving them with just over two thousand people.
The Silver Axe Pirates, meanwhile, had suffered only about as many losses as the Overlord Dragon Pirates.
They had plenty of Cannon Fodder among their ranks, but their clear advantage had kept their losses down.
As time wore on, the survivors neared their limits, almost completely spent.
Surrounded on all sides by Silver Axe's pirates, they could see no hope.
They still believed in their captain, in Zack the Overlord Dragon.
But Zack could not defeat Silver Axe in such a short time.
It was impossible.
By then, they might all be dead.
The officers sent by the Big Mom Pirates and the Demon King Pirates were not trying too hard to kill the Overlord Dragon
