# Chapter 853 War Ends and Review
"By now, they should have returned."
Hades watched the battlefield.
The war at Marine Headquarters had ended about half an hour ago.
While Goenitz watched the battle below, he also opened a small Visual Den Den Mushi to watch the live broadcast of G-1 Fortress.
He acutely sensed the issues with the battle situation and issued the command to retreat.
"\"Calamity Flame\" King and Borsalino tacitly agreed to a truce."
"\"Pig Head Emperor\" Krut also retreated under the command of the Crow Monster Klay, taking his Pig Head Human Army and boarding the Flesh and Blood Carpet that descended from the sky."
They left under the gaze of numerous Marines.
No one tried to stop their departure.
If they wanted to, they could certainly have prevented "\"Pig Head Emperor\" Krut" from evacuating.
The Flesh and Blood Carpet's flight speed wasn't fast; destroying it would have been quite simple.
However, doing so would mean the great battle would continue to erupt.
Since they had actively provoked this, they couldn't guarantee what terrifying things these Pirates might do under such circumstances.
Especially Sengoku, whose heart was still very cautious.
In the rear area, there were still a large number of islanders who needed to be arranged, and they couldn't endure an unknown attack.
Just as Hades had predicted.
"\"Heavenly King\" Reinhard avoided the CP0 Director-General's offense, controlling strong air currents to sweep up all his crewmates."
Seeing this, top tier combatants like "\"Bamboo Python\"" and "Silver Snake" wanted to intercept.
At the critical moment, Goenitz, King, and Pain arrived in time, understood the dangerous situation, and easily blocked their offense.
Seeing the arrival of the three top tier combatants.
The World Government also knew that it was impossible to keep the remaining high-end combat power of the Flying Pirates.
Now that the great battle had reached this point, both sides understood that it was basically time to end.
Although the World Government still held the advantage here.
Facing Pirates who wanted to evacuate, it was difficult to keep them.
"Let's go."
Shiki exchanged glances with several other great pirates, said, and took his members aboard the island ship, flying into the sky.
Byrnndi World left with the Flying Pirates.
The warships he brought, along with most of his crewmates, were destroyed.
World didn't care about the few surviving members still on The Great Sea.
How could Byrnndi World care about these cannon fodder, these guys who didn't even serve as cannon fodder?
He didn't even think about taking the survivors with him when he left.
Those who wanted to run had already fled, scared away long ago.
King and Garrosg flew back to Barbarossa Kingdom with Kaido.
Katakuri also left with the monsters of the Monster Legion.
The end of the war came unexpectedly to others.
Many spectators still didn't know what was happening, only seeing the Pirates begin to retreat.
Watching the Pirates leave.
The World Government's strongmen did not leave.
They found a relatively intact conference room in the G-1 Fortress, which had become ruins, and began a secret meeting.
It could be said to be a post-battle review.
The corpses were basically sorted out immediately, noting their own losses and the Pirates' losses.
"Is Saint Mars dead?"
Not seeing Saint Mars's corpse, Saint Saturn's face still showed some sadness, even though he had a premonition in his heart.
Not being able to contact Saint Mars, there was also the possibility of severe injury and unconsciousness, unable to participate in the battle.
But now, it could basically be confirmed.
His coldness and ruthlessness were only reserved for ordinary humans.
But for Saint Mars, who was also one of the Celestial Dragons and had worked together for decades, he had deep feelings.
"He was killed by Byrnndi World. His body was covered in gunshot wounds. At that time, his body couldn't move at all."
"If I had recovered a step later, and Zephyr had also been killed by that large rhinoceros beetle, Saint Mars would have already been killed by then."
Garp's expression was somewhat dejected.
The Marine Vice Admirals who participated in the battle suffered heavy losses, with only one surviving.
Zephyr, after the war, finally couldn't persist.
His entire body was wrapped in bandages, and he would need to return to Marine Headquarters for treatment.
With such injuries, just recovering would take a considerable amount of time.
"Most of those who died in battle were those who were directly killed or severely injured during the pirate attack at that time."
"It seems to be a special weapon related to electromagnetism."
Saint Saturn, being a top tier scientist, analyzed.
Based on the clear descriptions of the victims and the traces left on the battlefield, he determined the essence of the weapon Byrnndi World used.
"Besides G-1 Fortress, Marine Headquarters and the four large Navy Fortresses in the First Half of the Grand Line were also invaded by Pirates."
At this time, they also contacted Marine Headquarters and learned the news of several other battlefields.
"It seems our luck was pretty good. If those Pirates hadn't divided their forces, it would have been difficult for us to achieve such great battle results."
Although that was said, it sounded a bit harsh to the two Marine top tier combatants.
These words seemed to completely disregard the losses at the several Navy Fortresses and Marine Headquarters.
In the eyes of Saint Saturn, Saint Nusjuro, and the other Five Elders, including God's Knights Commander-in-Chief Garling Saint, this was indeed the case.
In their view, how much combatant strength could be lost at a few Marine Bases and Marine Headquarters?
The so-called Marine Vice Admirals were generally ordinary in strength and couldn't even enter their eyes.
Enough losses had been incurred over the years, and they had no impact on the battle situation at all.
Just promote some more people.
There really weren't many people with substance holding the military rank of Marine Vice Admiral.
In reality, the Marine Vice Admirals Sengoku sent to G-1 Fortress were mostly ordinary in strength, some Elders.
When he learned that Byrnndi World might have a secret weapon, he was prepared for them to sacrifice.
It just happened to make space for the young Marines who hadn't fully grown up yet.
As for those key training targets, they were kept at Marine Headquarters or allowed to shine and contribute in the Four Seas.
As for the large number of Marine Soldiers, if they were lost, they were lost.
World Conscription was still underway and could quickly be replenished.
As for the destroyed bases, at worst, they could just spend some money and time to rebuild.
If Goenitz, Pain, King, and the "\"Pig Head Emperor\"" who had newly emerged from the Monster Legion had also been added to the Pirates who attacked G-1 Fortress.
Then it would be hard to say if they could even block the Pirates' first wave of offense.
They might even have been killed by these Pirates before Garp and the others woke up.
Whether it was Pain's repulsion or Goenitz's wind blade, they both had the ability to massacre them all in an instant.
Even "\"Mosquito Girl,\"" who almost wiped out an entire Navy Branch by herself, her controlled mosquitoes posed an even greater threat.
The sheer number of mosquitoes couldn't even be blocked.
Even though the World Government became completely serious this time, achieving the current battle results was still somewhat lucky.
After a careful review, they still felt a bit of lingering fear.
The Pirates had a strategic error; they didn't fully utilize the time the magnetic storm bomb was effective and seize the opportunity.
Garp and Zephyr also understood, so they didn't express their opinion.
More importantly, under the terrifying strength of the World Government, even he had to bow his head.
