However, this time, after Sengoku quickly stood up, he flew back towards the Marine side.
"Everyone, retreat!"
Sengoku said loudly.
He had just noticed the situation on the battlefield; the Marine were being beaten back step by step by the Pirates, and their numbers had been drastically reduced by more than half.
If they continued fighting, all the Marine he had brought would die on this island.
As an Admiral, this was something he absolutely would not allow.
"Quick, quick retreat!!"
Hearing Sengoku give the order, the surviving Marine all began to retreat.
"Sengoku, it won't be that easy if you want to leave!"
As soon as Sengoku withdrew from the battlefield, Nox rushed over; he didn't want a free opponent like Sengoku to just run away like that.
"Limitless Busoshoku Weaving Sky-Rending Sword Drawing Technique!!!"
A thousand-meter-long slash tore through the sky, instantly flying towards the three warships docked at the port.
The enormous warships were so tiny in front of Nox's slash.
If there were no accidents, those three warships would instantly turn into sawdust and sink to the bottom of the sea under such a slash.
Seeing this, Sengoku naturally wouldn't just watch his warships be destroyed; he flashed and rushed in front of the massive slash.
"Buddha Palm Push!!"
As Sengoku unleashed a palm strike, a Divine Palm, like the invincible Tathagata pushing horizontally, collided with the slash.
"Crackle!!!"
However, Sengoku reacted too late; the sky-spanning slash forcefully split the Divine Palm in half, and then struck Sengoku's Buddha Palm.
"Disperse for me!!!"
Sengoku's palm exerted force again, eliminating the weakened slash.
With Sengoku's retreat order, and with many Marine willing to sacrifice themselves to delay the Pirates, the three warships successfully left the port and escaped.
However, even with the Marine from the three warships combined, there were now less than four hundred people; they were almost completely wiped out here.
"Calling Headquarters, calling Headquarters, I am a Captain under Admiral Sengoku."
"We have been attacked by the Limitless Pirates; Admiral Sengoku is currently fighting Nox, the Captain of the Limitless Pirates."
"Our other Marine have been defeated and have withdrawn from the battlefield, but Admiral Sengoku has still not been able to withdraw from the battlefield and is still fighting Nox on Sony Island."
"Requesting support from Headquarters!!"
After withdrawing from the battlefield, some Marine contacted Marine Headquarters via den den mushi.
"I didn't expect Nox to have grown to such an extent; he's only 19 years old now, yet even Sengoku can't shake him off or defeat him!"
"Then in a dozen years, won't he be another Rocks?"
After receiving the report on Sengoku's situation, Kong couldn't help but exclaim.
It was like Nox was easily defeated by him in his hands, but after a few years, he had actually completely caught up to him.
He knew Sengoku's strength; Sengoku was currently not weaker than him in the slightest.
In other words, even if he faced Nox again, he wouldn't gain any advantage.
"That guy Garp went after Roger."
"Let Zephyr go and reinforce Sengoku; it would be even better if we could capture Nox."
Kong said helplessly.
The New World was currently in chaos, and it was difficult for the Marine to target the Rocks remnants alone.
Otherwise, if those Rocks remnants united to deal with the Marine, the Marine would be in trouble.
"Is this the Captain's power? It's truly terrifying!"
After defeating his opponent, Bullet looked at the intense battle fluctuations in the distance and was extremely shocked.
He had grown a lot and become much stronger over the years, and after eating the Mythical Zoan Vajra Titan Fruit, his heart had inflated quite a bit.
But seeing such a scene, a battle between top powerhouses where even the aftermath of the fight could crush him to death.
The slight inflation in his heart was instantly suppressed until nothing remained.
He was still far from reaching the level of those top powerhouses!
"Let's go, back to the ship, and leave here!"
After defeating the Marine, Kano said loudly.
They couldn't possibly help in the battle between Nox and the Admiral.
Leaving here and not becoming a burden to Nox was their best option.
After all, who knew if that Admiral might suddenly unleash a shockwave towards them!
The escaping Marine didn't leave completely but watched Sony Island from afar on the Sea.
After all, Sengoku was a Devil Fruit user; without a ship, he couldn't leave Sony Island, so they needed to provide a way back for Sengoku.
Kano and the others received Nox's order and didn't continue pursuing the remaining Marine.
After all, Nox wasn't sure he could stop Sengoku from attacking Kano and the others.
Without any worries, the great battle between Sengoku and Nox continued on Sony Island.
As a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user, Sengoku was powerful in all aspects, whether it was body art, strength, defense, technique, or Haki; it could be said he had no weaknesses.
And Nox was the same; his Busoshoku, Kenbunshoku Haki, and Haoshoku Haki had all reached advanced levels.
And he had also learned advanced applications of Haki, such as Ryuo for internal destruction with Busoshoku, Mind Reading with Kenbunshoku Haki, and Busoshoku Weaving with Busoshoku.
Coupled with a physique and recovery power not weaker than Sengoku's, and the Grand Swordmaster realm with three types of Sword Intent.
Currently, Nox's combat power had also reached top-tier level, not weaker than Sengoku in the slightest.
He even used the pressure brought by Sengoku to continuously refine the three types of Sword Intent, wanting to merge his three types of Sword Intent into one, transforming them into a more powerful Sword Intent.
He had once cultivated three types of Sword Intent precisely because he wanted to fuse the three types of Sword Intent into one furnace, transforming them into a more powerful Sword Intent.
However, this path was too difficult, and even now, Nox still had no clue.
"They've been fighting for four days, and there's still no winner; that Admiral is a bit too tenacious."
Karoo clicked his tongue.
It was the first time he had seen someone who could last this long under Nox's sword.
Even against an Admiral, he was very confident that Nox was stronger.
"It's hard to say; at the Captain's level, sometimes a winner can't be decided even after ten days and ten nights."
Kano said.
He had participated in the Rocks Pirates' war against the Marine in the New World back then, and his experience was much broader than Karoo's.
The strength gap between many powerhouses isn't very large, and often it takes a long time to determine the winner.
"Sengoku, we'll fight again next time!!"
After Nox forced Sengoku back with a sword strike, he retreated rapidly, using Moonwalk to leave Sony Island and fly towards his Pirate ship.
Sengoku had no intention of pursuing Nox; after all, he didn't dare to leave the island and fight Nox on the Sea.
The tragic case of Army General Tyrannosaurus Kawehe's death back then was still vivid in his memory.
"Captain!!"
"Senior Brother!!"
"Boss!!".
When Nox returned to the Pirate ship, the many Pirates cheered loudly with excitement.
During this five-day battle, almost all of Nox's subordinates came.
Many people saw Nox fighting at full power for the first time; the aftermath of the battle, which seemed to shake the heavens and split the earth, made the vast majority of them prostrate themselves in admiration!
"Hahaha, an Admiral is nothing special; lads, set sail, let's go back!"
After returning to the ship, Nox laughed heartily.
"An Admiral is nothing special!!!"
As Nox's words fell, the many Pirates cheered loudly again.
"It's a shame, the Marine reinforcements are here."
Nox said helplessly.
Just four days was far from Nox's limit; he naturally wanted to continue fighting Sengoku.
After all, there weren't many opportunities to fight against an Admiral like this.
But unfortunately, his Kenbunshoku Haki detected a powerful person arriving on the Sea; it was an Admiral.
He wouldn't be like Golden Lion, who had a ship's rudder stuck in his head, desperately wanting to fight one against two and fight to the death without retreating.
"Zephyr, thank you for coming to reinforce me."
Seeing Zephyr arrive, Sengoku said.
"That Nox, he's actually that strong? Even you are so seriously injured."
Looking at the dense, deep sword wounds on Sengoku's body, Zephyr frowned.
"Very strong, and very crazy, comparable to that guy Garp's madness."
Sengoku said solemnly.
Nox's fighting style made him couldn't help but think of that guy Garp.
That guy also fought as crazily as Nox; in other people's words, he was like a mad dog.
He would bite you no matter what, and it wouldn't be a loss even if you bit him back.
"Let's go; that guy's Kenbunshoku Haki sensed you coming, so he deliberately avoided you and is already far away now."
Sengoku said.
After returning to Venus Island, Nox stood on the high platform, looking down at the tens of thousands of subordinates below.
This was where most of his subordinates, aside from those in Wano Country, were gathered.
Although there were tens of thousands, a very large number, except for a few individuals, the others were cannon fodder level, not even considered elites.
When most of the Pirates below looked at Nox on the high platform, their eyes were filled with fervent admiration.
"Lads, most of our Limitless Pirates are here now."
"Therefore, I announce that the Limitless Pirates will now be divided into ranks; the higher the rank, the naturally better the treatment you will receive!"
"Under me, the Limitless Pirates will be divided into four ranks, from lowest to highest: Squad Leader, Battalion Leader, Executive Officer, and Core Executive Officer."
"For Squad Leaders, the pirate group will take out one million Berries from the treasury each month as a contribution to the Squad Leaders."
"And so on, Battalion Leaders will receive two million Berries per month, Executive Officers four million Berries per month, and Core Executive Officers eight million Berries per month!"
"Furthermore, only by becoming a Leader or Executive Officer will you have subordinates and command the Pirates under me!"
"Now, tell me, do you want to become Leaders and Executive Officers of the Limitless Pirates?"
Nox announced loudly.
As the pirate group developed, it was now necessary to establish some ranks, otherwise the pirate group would be very chaotic.
