The outcome of this war had already been decided.
It could not even be called a war, only a massacre. Against a monster like Bullet, the so-called Pirate Allied Forces could not even fight back.
Bullet stood aboard a battered pirate ship, his arms folded as he quietly watched the battle nearby.
"Blood Axe" Cresswell, however, was under immense pressure.
He had never expected the enemies they faced to be so terrifying.
Naturally, he had noticed the terrifying commotion when Bullet struck.
That utterly unexpected outcome had sent panic surging through him.
His mind was not even on the battle anymore. Instead, he was thinking about how to escape from such a monster.
But there was nowhere to go.
Where could he possibly flee on this vast sea?
Esdeath was faster than him, and the ice beneath them was growing ever thicker.
Although he could easily break it, Esdeath would not give him the chance.
In a battle between powerful fighters, distraction was the most dangerous mistake.
Esdeath easily seized the opening Cresswell exposed, swiftly taking control of the battle and gaining a clear upper hand.
Bullet was still watching from the sidelines.
Cresswell felt as though a thorn were digging into his back. He could see no hope whatsoever.
Pirates fell one after another beneath the Ice Knights' charge, including famous pirates with bounties exceeding one hundred million Beli.
Large numbers of crew members died in battle. The weak could hardly survive.
They did not dare resist at all. Under Bullet's terrifying intimidation, they had lost even the will to fight back.
After all, the core of these Pirate Allied Forces consisted of three Great Pirates, and two of them had been dispatched with ease.
Knowing they had already lost, there was no point in continuing to resist.
