At that moment, over ten thousand Marines and the Red Hair Pirates' last three thousand troops came under attack.
Even Roy had made his move.
A sword slash that pierced the sky killed nearly two thousand Marine soldiers.
An irregular slash that had not appeared in a long time likewise killed two thousand Marine soldiers and pirates serving under the Red Hair Pirates.
Even Admiral Sakazuki's desperate resistance proved futile.
