However, what Carlo did not know was that the World Government fleet coming to their aid had already been intercepted by a hundred thousand Fishman troops and could not reach them for support.
Moreover, thousands of meters above the World Government warships, those seemingly alluring white clouds were not naturally formed but were created by Koya, an officer of the Infinite Pirates, using her abilities.
"Everyone, hurry up! Set up all the bombs for me!"
Above the clouds, Koya was directing numerous pirates to stack two-meter diameter cannonballs on the white clouds.
These clouds were arranged in a grid pattern, each square measuring ten meters, so there would be a cannonball in every ten-meter range.
The cannonballs were densely packed along the intersections of the grid, and at a glance, the area within ten thousand meters was filled with these heart-stopping bombs. If they were detonated all at once, even an island could be sunk.
Not to mention, these two-meter diameter cannonballs were specially made timed bombs by the Infinite Pirates, each one significantly more powerful than the shells being used in the ongoing bombardment below! "Lord Koya, all the bombs are set up, and the Red-Eyed Princess has signaled that there are no top-tier combatants guarding the World Government's rear fleet. We can deploy now!"
Koya's assistant reported.
"Very good, everyone retreat! No one is allowed to stand on the grid!"
Upon hearing her assistant's words, Koya immediately ordered.
Hearing Koya's command, the pirates quickly ran back to the cloud ship behind her.
Koya then began to adjust the position of the cloud grid, ensuring that it was perfectly aligned with the World Government warships below.
"Trash of the World Government, come and experience the baptism of bombs I've prepared for you!"
After calibrating the position, Koya revealed a devilish sweet smile, then waved her hand, causing the original grid of clouds to dissipate.
At the same time, all the cannonballs that had been placed on the grid fell simultaneously, and Koya followed them down.
As the numerous cannonballs fell, the World Government had no one to notice the anomaly.
After all, all of the top-tier combatants from the World Government were no longer guarding the rear fleet; those rear admirals and brigadier generals had almost all been dispatched to fend off the pirates' frenzied attacks.
The ones left behind were mostly gunners operating the ship's cannons, and hardly anyone possessed the Observation Haki to foresee the future, nor did anyone look up at the sky in a daze.
"Not good! Air raid! Everyone be careful!"
It wasn't until the numerous cannonballs were less than a hundred meters above the warships, causing massive air turbulence and casting shadows over the ships, that the people on the warships finally realized the falling cannonballs.
However, by that time, it was already too late; in less than three seconds, the cannonballs had already reached the warships.
"Detonate now!"
As Koya fell alongside the cannonballs, she pressed the red button on the remote control just as the bombs were about to hit the sea.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!"
In an instant, all the falling cannonballs detonated simultaneously, and the violent explosion engulfed eighty percent of the World Government warships present.
The unprecedented explosion erupted like a massive volcanic eruption, sweeping across the area in an instant.
Under the intense explosion, any warship caught in the blast was almost instantly shattered, engulfed in raging flames that spread across the sea.
"It's so beautiful!"
Koya looked down from the sky and saw a giant mushroom-shaped cloud of flames forming instantly; the dazzling scene was simply unforgettable.
"Help!!!"
"Run! Jump off the ship! Into the sea!"
"How can there be such terrifying bombs!"
"Someone's up high! It's her bombs!"
"…"
Under the violent explosion, nearly all the warships and personnel engulfed in the blast were killed in an instant, with only those on the edges managing to survive.
But as the fire spread, those edge warships and personnel also suffered.
"How is this possible!"
The terrifying power of the explosion drew the attention of everyone engaged in battle.
"Hiss!!!!"
When they saw the terrifying power of the explosion, everyone gasped in shock. Such a level of explosion would severely injure even their top-tier combatants if they were at the center of the blast.
Moreover, this massive explosion had obliterated ninety percent of the World Government's warships.
Such a tremendous loss left the surviving members of the World Government feeling cold inside.
Needless to say, upon witnessing this scene, they knew they had lost!
While their top-tier combatants had not yet collapsed, they had undoubtedly lost in the battle of lower and mid-tier forces! "How could this happen?"
Originally stationed at the rear, Admiral Crane, upon receiving news that the support fleet had suffered heavy losses from the Fishman troops, immediately led several warships to provide assistance. However, she did not expect that as soon as she arrived at the World Government support fleet, her own fleet would suffer a devastating blow.
"Everyone, immediately set sail at full speed! All officers above the rank of captain who have not consumed a Devil Fruit, jump into the sea and protect the warships!"
After a moment of shock, Admiral Crane quickly issued orders, bringing the stunned Navy and World Government members back to their senses.
The collapse of the World Government was a foregone conclusion; their task now was to minimize losses, rescue those who had fallen into the sea, and retrieve the top-tier and core combatants still engaged in battle with the pirates, ensuring they could escape without being attacked by the pirates! "Everyone, retreat immediately!"
Sengoku, coming back to his senses after the massive explosion, also shouted orders for everyone to retreat.
Continuing the battle was pointless; they had already lost!
Upon hearing Sengoku's command, nearly everyone from the World Government began to retreat, no longer entangled with the pirates.
"Jie hahahaha! Want to fight, fight! Want to leave, leave! Do you really think we are that easy to deal with?"
"Flying Pirates, kill them! Wipe out these Navy scum!"
"Wugogogogogo! Magma puppy, if you want to leave, have you asked my Dragon Breath?"
"Mommy, mommy! Yellow-skinned monkey, hand over your soul!"
"Gulalalalala! Sengoku, don't be in such a hurry to leave! I'm not done playing yet!"
"…"
The World Government wanted to retreat, but the pirates had no intention of letting them go.
With such a significant advantage on their side, how could they allow the enemy to retreat easily? Even if they had to retreat, they would bite them hard, making them feel pain and fear, or else they would continue to attack the pirates next time!
Only by scaring and crippling them could they ensure that the World Government would not have the capability to start another war in the short term.
Even the big pirates brought out all their combat power, no longer just thinking about stalling the enemy.
Especially Whitebeard and Golden Lion, who directly activated their Devil Fruit awakening powers; this time, they wanted to show off their muscles properly. They even wanted to kill a top-tier combatant to establish their authority, not letting Li Yuan take all the glory.
"Hahahahaha! No need to guard the ship anymore, I'm going too!"
Akame and Hermes, who were originally stationed on the Steel Battleship and Hades Pluto ship, also joined the battlefield, instantly escalating the war among the top-tier combatants.
The World Government's top-tier combatants, who had originally planned to retreat, found that leaving was not as easy as they thought.
