During the attack, Kong realized that their plan had completely failed.
Moreover, the attack just now resulted in numerous deaths and injuries among the navy personnel.
Even Sengoku, Garp, and the others sustained some injuries while shielding other Marines from the blast.
He also lost an arm.
At this point, the plan to defeat the two great pirate crews and capture the two Emperor of the Sea has completely failed.
Their attempt to subdue the pirates failed, and now they will face the furious retaliation of two pirate crews.
Faced with the retaliation of the two Emperor of the Sea, even with their overwhelming military advantage, they ultimately suffered more defeats than victories.
At this moment, Kong with regret, regretting that he hadn't listened to Sengoku's advice.
The Sengoku period was right; one could not be too cautious when facing two Emperor of the Sea. It was my recklessness that led to this.
It was his own recklessness that ruined the Navy.
However, as the Fleet Admiral, he had an obligation to bring the future of the Navy back with him.
Therefore, he decided that even if it meant sacrificing himself, he absolutely had to stop Zesi and Whitebeard so that the Marines could return to Marine Headquarters safely.
"All Marines, listen up! Now, I am relaying the last order from Fleet Admiral Kong: Retreat! Return to Marine Headquarters! Return to Marine Headquarters intact!" Sengoku shouted.
Seeing Kong's expression, Sengoku immediately understood that Kong had made up his mind, and his decision was very firm.
He also understood that this was the best course of action at present.
" Kuzan, immediately lead the navy back to Marine Headquarters!" Sengoku shouted at Kuzan, who was standing outside the gate.
As Marine Admiral, he could not leave the Fleet Admiral to die alone, so he ordered Kuzan outside, to lead the army in a retreat.
Upon hearing Sengoku's words, the naval soldiers surrounding the island all froze, looking completely bewildered.
They didn't understand what was going on.
They arrived with great fanfare, determined to take down the two Emperor of the Sea in one fell swoop.
But the offensive has barely begun, why the retreat?
What was the meaning of Fleet Admiral Kong's final order?
But Kuzan changed drastically upon hearing this.
"Oh dear, this is really troublesome!"
"Order the entire army to retreat!" Kuzan said.
"You think you can just walk away after scheming against us? Fleet Admiral, aren't you underestimating us?" Zesi said calmly.
"Kurarara, daring to scheme against me, Whitebeard, even the Marines should be prepared to face my Whitebeard," Whitebeard said with a cold laugh.
"Whatever tricks you have up your sleeve, I'll take them on!" Kong said with a sneer.
" Fleet Admiral, perhaps you haven't yet grasped the true meaning of the title ' Emperor of the Sea.' You've provoked two Emperor of the Sea Emperor of the Sea, Emperor of the Sea less. It seems we need to make you understand the weight of those four words."
Wherever Zesi went, as he spoke, he spread Zesi hands out, his five fingers forming claws.
His hands were covered in jet-black Armament Haki, and at the same time, the power of vibration continuously gathered in his hands and claws.
Zesi is currently in the Devil Fruit Awakening. If it weren't for the protection of his powerful Armament Haki, even Zesi might not be able to withstand such a shock.
"Not good!" Sengoku and Garp's expressions changed upon seeing Zesi's actions, and they were about to step forward to stop him.
"Don't forget, I'm still here!" the Whitebeard said coldly.
At the same time, fists were thrown out one after another.
Air Cannon shot out from under his fist.
The terrifying Air Cannon also sealed off Sengoku Garp, and the others.
"I am the Azure Emperor! If you want to freeze my seas, wait until Kuzan becomes a true Admiral and develops the Ice-Ice Fruit to its Awakening state!" Zesi shouted.
At the same time, his five fingers, like hooks, plunged fiercely into the space and tore it apart.
The space was stretched like that, leaving long traces of martial arts. "The ice... the ice blocks are shattering!" "What is this?" "The sea is raging!"
"My God, this is the power of the Azure Emperor! The Azure Emperor has stirred up the entire ocean!" "This is terrifying! Is this the power of the Azure Emperor?" "We're about to collide!"
In that instant, the entire sea erupted in turmoil.
On the sea surface frozen by the Kuzan ice, the ice blocks cracked one by one.
The seawater churned, and the waterways crisscrossed with extremely fast-moving currents.
The entire ocean became a death trap, whipping up broken ice, and engulfing naval soldiers and high-speed Marine warship- Benz ships.
Many of the naval soldiers standing on the ice were swept directly into the sea and carried away by the rapidly flowing water.
Another group was relatively lucky; they had some huge chunks of ice standing on their feet.
But their luck didn't last long.
The waterways crisscrossed, and they were horrified to discover that the waterway beneath their feet was rapidly intersecting with others, about to collide. In just a short time, the navy suffered heavy casualties. "Is this the power of the Azure Emperor?"
"I'd heard of it before, but seeing it with my own eyes is absolutely terrifying!" "This power to stir up the ocean is truly terrifying!" "We were just about to fight a monster like that?" The Whitebeard Pirates stared in disbelief. "Did Azure Emperor make this?" The Azure Emperor Pirates were also speechless.
Seeing this situation, no one could suppress their shock!
"That's right, this is what makes Zesi truly terrifying. On the high seas, he's a one-man army. Tsunamis, earthquakes, and the power to stir up the ocean—our captain, Azure Emperor, is the true Emperor of the Sea, a ruler of the ocean, because the sea is his domain," Buggy said with a smug smile.
