Chapter 156: The Allied Forces Collapse
Marine Admiral Puyol 'Evening Elephant' is dead.
Next, it was the turn of Army General "Brown Anaconda".
As a Logia-type Devil Fruit User, "Brown Anaconda" wasn't so easy to deal with.
But under the combined might of Rocks and Donovan, how long could he last?
Ten minutes later, the corpse of Army General "Brown Anaconda" fell.
A golden spear pierced his heart, and liquid gold wrapped around his corpse, seeping into his body, turning him into a golden statue.
In just a short time, three Top Tier Combatants of the Allied Forces had died.
This was not the end.
The CP0 Deputy Director was jointly killed by Rocks and John.
A CP0 Top-tier Powerhouse.
Died under the combined assault of Silver Axe and several Great Pirates.
The chain reaction caused by Rocks' liberation was terrifying.
The Allied Forces suffered increasing losses among their high-end combatants, their numbers dwindling.
More Strongmen from the Rocks Pirates were freed up, wantonly slaughtering the Allied Forces.
The Allied Forces were completely suppressed, their Factions constantly contracting and retreating.
The Allied Forces were preparing to retreat.
If this continued, the Allied Forces would be annihilated.
How could Kong not be anxious?
Evacuating now and gathering their strength would allow them to resist the Rocks Pirates better, and some power could still be preserved.
If they didn't retreat and waited until their main combatants were defeated one by one, it would be too late to make such decisions.
So, Kong issued the order to retreat.
Sengoku disengaged from his battle with Duncan.
Gritting his teeth, he covered the retreat of the other Marines.
Duncan only slightly hindered him before being sent flying hundreds of meters by the Great Buddha Shockwave.
With Sengoku's Potential, he was destined to be one of the core members of the Marines.
Because of this, Duncan didn't want to completely offend the Marines and let Sengoku go.
Although his current identity was that of a Pirate, he was destined to return to the Kingdom and inherit the Throne of Stone Country.
Now that the advantage was with the Rocks Pirates, he showed Sengoku some respect.
Garp gasped for breath, looking at 'Werewolf' Quilo before him, his body trembling and his eyes filled with unwillingness.
But now, he had to retreat, not only to cover the other Allied Forces members; if he continued fighting, his life would be at risk.
Besides the formidable enemy 'Werewolf' Quilo, the Werewolf Pirates' second-in-command, Wolf King Garnet, had arrived after dealing with his own opponent.
This put even greater pressure on Garp.
However, retreating was clearly not that easy.
Quilo and Garnet pursued the advantage, keeping Garp engaged.
If Garp tried to get away.
They would quickly turn their attention to the Allied Forces members.
To cover these members, Garp had no way to break free.
The current situation was simply terrible for the Allied Forces.
As the tide turned, the Rocks Pirates became more frenzied, with victory right before their eyes.
Many members of the Allied Forces were being slaughtered like grass, their numbers constantly decreasing.
How could retreating be so easy?
The war had reached this point, with the Allied Forces completely at a disadvantage.
With this retreat, the morale of the Allied Forces would completely collapse.
The entire Battlefield was an isolated island.
The Allied Forces were completely surrounded by the Rocks Pirates and their massive Pirate Fleet.
Where else could they retreat to?
The so-called cover was actually of little use.
Most of the Allied Forces' Top Tier Combatants and high-end combatants were held up, facing Strongmen.
What could they cover?
The Battlefield was too large, and the areas they could focus on were too small.
All they could do was fight while retreating.
G-5 Fortress, the entire Island, wasn't large, but it was the core of the entire Battlefield now.
The Allied Forces were continuously retreating, converging on G-5 Fortress via ships and warships.
And given the battle situation, it meant that only a small portion of the Allied Forces would ultimately be able to retreat.
During this period, the Allied Forces' losses would only increase.
The Rocks Pirates pursued with all their might.
One Marine warship after another was destroyed, along with the Allied Forces members on board.
Especially the unopposed Pirate Strongmen; for them, destroying a ship was incredibly simple.
In just two hours, the Battlefield continuously shrank, and the Allied Forces members converged on G-5 Fortress.
Their total numbers had already dropped to thirty thousand.
Relying on the Fortress's defenses, the Allied Forces were still holding out.
Those who were still alive were basically the elite.
After all, anyone who could survive a war could be called a veteran.
This war had lasted for three full years, and every single person had undergone trials and tempering.
The Allied Forces members were in a sorry state.
With supplies cut off and out of ammo and supplies, they were prepared to fight to the last moment, holding out until reinforcements arrived.
The entire G-5 Fortress was completely surrounded by the Rocks Pirates.
Time passed second by second, yet it felt so long.
"Prepare to retreat, Captain! The results of the battle are sufficient."
Hades stood beside Rocks, watching the countless Pirates continuously assault G-5 Fortress.
Using this cannon fodder to wear down the Allied Forces' stamina and fighting will.
Rocks had originally planned to completely annihilate the Allied Forces before the Support Unit arrived.
However, that was just a relatively beautiful fantasy.
The Allied Forces' resistance was fierce.
Even when facing the assault of multiple powerful foes, the Strongmen among them still held out stubbornly.
Rocks also realized that he couldn't completely defeat the Allied Forces, so he didn't take further action.
Army General "Brown Anaconda", Marine Admiral Puyol 'Evening Elephant', Fleet Admiral Black, two CP0 Top-tier Powerhouses, and Admiral Candidate De Gea.
From the moment Rocks killed Black until now, in just a few hours, the Allied Forces had already lost over five Top Tier Combatants.
This was undoubtedly a great victory, and it was enough to put an end to this war.
"How much longer until the World Government's reinforcements arrive?"
Rocks asked.
"About half an hour."
Hades made a rough estimate of the distance.
"Then tell everyone to prepare to retreat."
"But leaving just like this won't do. We must clash with them."
Rocks still felt a little unwilling.
"Call all Cadres to gather. During this time, recover stamina as much as possible. Let's see together what kind of reinforcements the World Government has sent."
The news spread quickly.
The Pirates evacuated the Battlefield one after another, running faster than rabbits.
Sailing their pirate ships, they sailed away from this Sea Area.
Especially the Affiliated Pirate Groups; since the war was over, they didn't stay any longer and dispersed.
The rest had nothing to do with them; everything was left for the Rocks Pirates to solve themselves.
