The froth of wine was no match for the waves.
Once they had finished replenishing their supplies.
They simply went their separate ways.
The guards of the Prodence Kingdom hid behind the fortress and peeked out, only emerging after the last ship had left.
"The pirates are gone!"
"Thank goodness, we're still alive!"
"I saw that supergiant fall with my own eyes. It was like an earthquake, one huge boom!"
People ran around spreading the word, carrying news of yesterday's battle throughout the kingdom.
When people on the opposite side from the port heard about it, they thought it was a made-up story.
"It did rain yesterday, and a very big person appeared in the sky."
"But what does that have to do with pirates? Humans can't possibly have that kind of power."
However.
As the pirates departed.
People arrived at the royal capital's port one after another, and only when they saw the port submerged beneath the sea did they learn the truth.
Fresh news spread throughout the world.
They could not believe a battle that had made the biggest headlines had happened right beside them.
"Great pirate World Destroyer Byrnndi World killed in battle!"
"The Dragon Emperor Pirates officially join the ranks of the great pirates. Tyrant Shane hailed as the strongest rookie beneath the legends!"
"Vice Captain Kaido of the Beasts! Bounty exceeds 670 million Beli. Has attacked the King of War and poses an immense threat!"
For the powerful figures of the sea, victory and defeat were commonplace. Only life and death were different.
Opponents like Chameleon, Waldo, and Black Tanuki, whose battles had ended in death.
That meant a hard battle had been fought.
The victor would also undoubtedly take all the loser's standing.
After defeating Chinjao and Waldo in succession.
