On the vast, boundless sea.
An enormous fleet sped across the water. Every warship was immense, far beyond anything the World Government's Marine warships could compare to.
The largest flagship measured 220 meters long and occupied the center of the fleet. Its black gun barrels gleamed coldly beneath the blazing sun, as though they could blast any enemy blocking its path to pieces.

"Dressrosa? How do they have such gigantic warships and such an enormous fleet? I don't think even the World Government's Marines have anything that outrageous!"
"They
