Countless monsters tore into one another.
Meanwhile, most of the Marines' high-end combatants stood in front of the Execution Platform, holding back the onslaught of powerful enemies.
Cyrik had not left the Execution Platform. With a casual slash or two, he drove back any pirates who tried to rush up.
He held his position.

Strangely enough, for the Marines, this war had turned into a battle to protect a pirate.
