Not dead, just fainted while standing.
If she calmed down, she would also notice Sage's condition, but in this urgency, she instinctively used the most primitive method.
Lily turned and carried Sage on her back, first flashed to Suleiman, kicked him into the ship, where Marika caught him and tossed him onto the deck. She herself stepped up with Moon Step, quickly moving onto the ship, and shouted:
"Ren! Can you still sail?!"
"Yes!"
Renedia, exhausted from the residual impact of the Haki battle, gritted her teeth and stood up, jumped to the helm at the rear deck, and pressed a button. With the activation of the Power Instrument, the whole ship started to move.
With the Power Instrument, no ability is needed to sail the ship. Although everyone fainted and couldn't fully start the ship, which slowed it down, at least it could move. Next... leave it to the sea.
"No way!"
Acting as a temporary observer, Marika quickly noticed something wrong. The red dots representing Observation flashed in her pupils, and instinctively, she looked forward to the ship.
Whizz!
A row of dense cannonballs flew from the sky.
"Tekkai Spider Web!"
Marika's hair danced swiftly, extending outward and weaving into a dense black web in the air, blocking the incoming cannonballs.
Boom boom boom!
The cannonballs exploded in the air, creating clouds of black smoke and scattering some strands of her hair.
In front of the Death Star, outlines of several ships appeared.
"It's the Navy!"
Renedia covered her eyes with goggles that had a telescopic function and immediately saw the true form of those outlines.
"Four warships! One large battleship, three regular ships! Damn Navy, what are they doing here now!" Renedia shouted.
"Of course, they're here to pick up the pieces."
Lily gently laid Sage down, drew the White Thunder, and stared at the slowly approaching warships.
"Half a day has passed, it's about time they reacted; it's local support... no, not support, they wouldn't dare to confront us; perhaps they saw the battle between Sage and Kaido and thought it was a good opportunity?"
Lily squinted slightly, gripping the White Thunder, "You underestimate me!"
No one to fire the cannonballs, no minions to fight; is that why they think they can attack?
"Ren."
"Hm?"
"Bring the ship closer!" Lily shouted with pride, a fierce gleam in her eyes.
"Power Braking!"
Renedia's little hands dashed out patterns at this moment, fiercely grabbing the helm, "Speed it up!"
The massive Death Star first cut through the waves, speeding forward towards the warships ahead.
Inside the large battleship among the four, a Navy Vice Admiral spoke solemnly to the Radio Snail: "Can't fire all the cannonballs?"
"Y-yes, Vice Admiral, the storm is too severe, the rain covers on the cannons have blown open, many gunpowder are wet."
The voice of a Navy soldier echoed from the Radio Snail.
"Forget it, prepare for boarding combat; we must capture 'Calamity' and his cadres!"
The Vice Admiral hung up the Radio Snail, looked at the rapidly approaching giant Black Ship, and clenched his fist, "This is a rare opportunity; in the name of justice, we must arrest these criminals!"
Just as Lily suspected, these people had arrived long ago.
Not when Sage reached Tias, but even earlier, when Sage departed from Gares, they received the information.
Although Sage isn't yet a [Four Emperor], he is a popular candidate. After defeating Gares, he was targeted by the Navy.
This guy murdered the Heavenly Celestial Dragon and was the instigator of Marineford's destruction, leaving only a foundation submerged in the sea. Although reconstruction of the fortress is underway, the destruction remains.
Especially after aggressively taking Gares, occupying World Desire City, slaughtering many nobles of Gares.
Though it's a non-affiliated nation with no human rights, it's their unwillingness to join the Government, not that the Government doesn't want them.
Moreover, according to insider information, before Sage's conquest, some nobles had already contacted the World Government intending to join them.
So, in the Navy's eyes, those nobles were truly nobles.
But all were killed by Sage.
Such a major criminal on the move, it was bound to attract attention.
But since he was a [Four Emperor] candidate, although no order prohibited direct engagement, it was implicitly understood.
They served as 'monitoring vessels,' specifically supervising Calamity's movements, at least knowing where he intended to go.
However, when Sage arrived in Tias, they hadn't reached yet, only aware of the general activity area, and the local Navy Base was already gone when they arrived; they dared not proceed, forced to watch.
Then Kaido arrived...
They watched Kaido and Sage's fierce battle firsthand, resulting in one being sent flying and the other seriously injured.
Now is the moment!
A chance to apprehend this major criminal!
The invading storm raged even more wildly, raindrops and fierce winds battered the body of the Navy Vice Admiral, soaking his hair and blowing away his righteous cape.
The Death Star drew ever nearer. He pulled out the blade at his waist, lifted it high, and shouted:
"For justice!"
Rumble!
A thunderbolt exploded from the sky, seemingly becoming tangible, its lightning rapidly striking the top of the Navy Vice Admiral's head.
Oh, no, the lightning didn't strike; it was...
Clang!
Swiftly flashing through the air, Lily appeared above the large battleship, following the thunderbolt. The sword in her hand, coiled with Haki, resembled a black thunderbolt as it descended with the thunder from the sky.
