# Chapter 587: Bloody Battle Resumes
The Great Pirate Era had just begun.
The Marines were currently discussing how to counter the rapidly increasing number of Pirates.
Dispatching the four temporary Four Seas Governors back to the Four Seas to continue the Suppression there, and even sending more Military Strength from Headquarters as Reinforcements.
Even counting the Four Seas' own Military Strength, around 100,000 people per Sea Area was far from enough.
They remained insignificant compared to the vast Sea Area.
Much of the Military Strength couldn't be easily deployed because they needed to protect the Trade Routes and Member Nations.
The actual Strength available to Clear Out the Four Seas was not much, and the efficiency wasn't high either.
Achieving the desired requirements was not that simple; it was Unable to Do in a short Time.
All of this required Marine Headquarters to form a complete Plan after discussion.
With the increase in Pirate numbers, the Marines also needed more Military Budget, to conduct the World Military Draft, and establish more Marine Bases to cover a wider Sea Area.
Only then could they withstand the Impact of the Great Pirate Era.
Otherwise, the current Military Strength was completely insufficient.
Whether they could even maintain Order was a question, let alone extending it to more distant Sea Areas.
If the Marines couldn't intervene, the already Chaos Sea Areas would only become more Chaos, making the Restoration of Order even more difficult.
In many Sea Areas of the Four Seas now, the Figure of the Marines had been absent for many years.
If there was Money, none of this would actually be a problem, but that depended on the World Government and the Member Nations.
Without sufficient Military Budget, all the Marines could do was try their best to maintain Order.
Just then, shocking bad news arrived.
"What!"
Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong's hair was graying, his face looked even older, and his eyes held a look of disbelief and shock.
He had never expected that the Flying Pirates, who hadn't caused them Trouble during Roger's Execution, would actually stab them fiercely in the back just as the Great Pirate Era was beginning.
Thus, all the Plans being discussed in the Marine Meeting now had to be completely scrapped and redone.
"What's going on, Fleet Admiral?"
Sengoku took the Intelligence from Kong's hand, fixed his gaze on it, and his Pupil shrank sharply.
The hand holding the Intelligence couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The Flying Pirates had once again carried out a full mobilization.
Furthermore, the Major Powers in the New World also showed significant movements, deploying troops and preparing Supplies, Grain, and Munitions.
It seemed they were preparing for a War.
The last time such a situation occurred was the Bloody Battle over a year ago.
That Bloody Battle Tempered a batch of Elite fighters and also caused Heavy Losses to the Marines and the World Government.
Countless young people Died in Battle before they could even show their Potential.
Could such a cruel War happen again?
It should be known that after the Bloody Battle, the Marines didn't rest at all but immediately dispatched a large amount of Military Strength to the Four Seas to conduct the Clear Out of the Four Seas.
Despite seizing quite a bit of Money, the Marines also suffered considerable Losses during this process.
In other words, compared to over a year ago, the Marines' Overall Strength was weaker.
War could Temper Strongmen, but if it required the Sacrifice of many to make a few stronger as a Price, they would rather spend more Time waiting for them to Grow Up.
After all, such cruel War consumed the Marines' Future.
What made them feel helpless was that they could refuse the Bloody Battle initiated by the Flying Pirates.
Even if they refused the Bloody Battle, it would only transfer the War to another place.
If the War was transferred to The Great Sea, the Marines would still have no Advantage against the Pirate Alliance Army, which had many Ability Users.
Large numbers of Marine Warships were destroyed and sank into The Sea, and they would also suffer huge Economic Losses.
And many Marine Higher-ups could clearly see the malicious intent of the Flying Pirates.
It was specifically aimed at the Marines.
Furthermore, the Marines couldn't fight on two fronts, nor could they reduce their Investment in the Bloody Battle, especially in terms of High-End Combat Power.
If the High-End Combat Power was reduced, the Pirate Alliance Army would gain an Advantage.
At that time, defeat in the Bloody Battle would make them pay an even more Heavy Price.
In terms of High-End Combat Power, the Marine Alliance was terrifying in number.
In the last Bloody Battle, besides the Flying Pirates' numerous High-End Combat Power all coming out, other Top Powers had held back.
Under such circumstances, they still withstood the Stress brought by the World Government.
It should be known that besides the Marines, the World Government and many Factions in Mary Geoise also sent out quite a few Combatant Strength.
Of course, the World Government didn't use its full Strength either.
There were too many constraints and considerations; much of the Strength was not under the control of the Five Elders.
If they relied solely on the Strength the Five Elders could command and the Marines, it would be difficult to suppress the Pirate Alliance in the New World.
Such a massive Legion brought more Stress than the Rocks Pirates did back then.
"Notify the World Government, we need to prepare for War again," Sengoku took a deep breath, his gaze incredibly firm.
No matter how difficult it was, they had to endure it and not easily bow to the Pirates.
He felt a heavy Stress on his body, coming from the Flying Pirates.
All of this must have been Planed by the Flying Pirates, precisely hitting the Marines' vital point and causing them and the World Government a Heavy blow.
The Flying Pirates now were truly too difficult to deal with.
Or rather, the Pirates now were all difficult to deal with.
They were simply extremely clever.
Were the Pirates of the past all this cunning?
It all started with the Rocks Pirates.
They were Pirates, yet not ordinary Pirates.
The Beast Pirates stole the Foundation of a Powerhouse Nation, under the name of a Hero.
The Big Mom Pirates developed low-key, yet obtained everything.
The Tyrant Dragon Pirates occupied Wano Country, which was rich in Supplies, and before that, caused the World Government Heavy Losses.
The Combatant Strength of CP0 was cut short; the CP0 Director-General they were familiar with and had cooperated with many times directly Died in Battle.
The World Government became the Sword used by the Tyrant Dragon Pirates to deal with Kozuki Oden, and Kozuki Oden was also a Sword against the World Government.
And the ultimate beneficiary who Planed all of this was the Tyrant Dragon Pirates.
The Demon King Pirates built their Territory into an impenetrable fortress and managed it very well.
The Flying Pirates, under the name of the Strongest Pirate Crew, became the leader of the Pirates in the New World.
They drove many Top-tier Great Pirates, borrowing their Strength to deal with the Marines and the World Government.
Pirates who only relied on brute force in the past were a thing of the past.
None of those Monsters now were easy to deal with.
The Bloody Battle was about to resume.
