# Chapter 629: Heavy Losses, War Ends
By the fourth month, the war finally stopped.
The body could recover, but what about the mind?
Fatigue would continue to accumulate.
After three months, even those Top-tier Monster needed time to truly rest.
Furthermore, instinctively, the higher-ups on both sides felt something was wrong.
They thought this was just a temporary truce, but they didn't expect that once it stopped, the war would truly end.
The strength of the Various Faction gathered together for the first time since the war began, after tallying their own losses.
Unacceptable!
That's right, unacceptable!
They hadn't expected the losses to be so heavy, far exceeding their expectations.
"Shiki, this Old Man isn't playing with you anymore.
If we keep fighting, all of my Child will die."
Whitebeard sat grandly in his seat, holding Murakumogiri.
His gaze swept over all the Monster around him, finally settling on Shiki "The Golden Lion".
After all, Shiki was the initiator of this war.
Newgate spoke without reservation.
The Whitebeard Pirates suffered heavy losses.
The total number of Whitebeard Pirates members was only about a thousand people.
But counting the Affiliated Pirate Group, the Whitebeard Pirates' total military strength reached fifteen thousand people.
Only seven thousand people were still alive, losing more than half.
Three of the fourteen Division Captain Died in Battle.
Blamenco, the Eighth Division Captain, Kingdew, the Tenth Division Captain, and Speed Jiru, the Commander of the Thirteenth Division.
In addition, many Crewmate who Sacrificed themselves, and the Captain of the Affiliated Pirate Group, were also his Child.
Whitebeard had no interest in dominating the seas; his biggest dream was to build a great family of his own.
With so many Child dying, Whitebeard's inner grief was naturally inexpressible.
However, he didn't blame Shiki; war was inherently cruel.
From the moment he decided to participate in this war, he knew there would definitely be sacrifices.
Now, he didn't want to suffer any more losses.
The World Government had also gained the advantage in the war.
Continuing the battle would be meaningless, just a futile sacrifice.
Whitebeard's intention to withdraw was decided; this was merely a notification.
It wasn't just Whitebeard; the losses of other Top-Tier Pirate Crew weren't much better.
The Beast Pirates were back to square one.
Besides a few Core Cadre who were still alive, most of their members were lost.
However, Kaido didn't care.
Ordinary members were just cannon fodder; he could get as many as he wanted.
With the Barbarossa Kingdom, he could recruit another batch of Pirate at any time.
As long as his Core Cadre, who were his confidants, weren't lost, he could accept it.
He didn't actually take the current losses to heart.
Closing his eyes, he was already thinking about whether to go plunder the Territory of "\"Raging Bear\" Morant" or the John Pirates first.
Although the Beast Pirates' strength was greatly reduced now and they couldn't hold onto so many Territory, no matter what, he would plunder them first.
"\"Tyrant Dragon\" Zack" felt a bit sad inside.
The Tyrant Dragon Pirates sacrificed several Dragonoid Race Warriors, and their overall military strength was also more than halved.
In his heart, only the Dragonoid Race Warriors could be considered his confidants and the core of the Tyrant Dragon Pirates.
As for the other elite and numerous Pirate, no matter how good they were, it was difficult for him to value them.
Therefore, truly outstanding Pirate would not join the Tyrant Dragon Pirates.
The future of the Tyrant Dragon Pirates was also limited here; the high-end combat power was basically only the Dragonoid Race Warriors.
Even those who were attached to the Tyrant Dragon Pirates were under the name of Affiliated Pirate Group.
Of course, the Affiliated Pirate Group also suffered significant losses.
"\"Demon King\" Nash" was in deep thought.
He also didn't take the losses to heart; after all, everyone was suffering losses, and they were all starting from the same point.
There was no need to mention the other Great Pirate; their situation wasn't much different.
However, their attitude towards this war could be said to be unanimous: it was time to end it.
The outbreak of the Great Pirate Era had already exhibited its immense influence.
In just a few months, countless Young Pirate had sprung up like mushrooms around the World.
They needed to preserve their existing strength to countermeasure the impact of the new era.
The Big Mom Pirates were in the best condition.
The young Child were protected early on and secretly sent back to Totto Land after sufficient training.
Child who were stronger could already stand on their own, and they also had Homies secretly protecting them.
As for military strength, most of it consisted of Homies, which increased rather than decreased.
Next was the Monster Legion of "\"King of Monsters\" Typhon".
Although the Monster Legion suffered significant losses, the mutant blood within the members of the Monster Legion or wild beasts who died were taken by other members.
Although they died, they promoted the growth of other Odd Person.
To say they suffered losses was actually not significant.
From the perspective of mutant blood, the quality was conserved and did not change.
The Pirate Alliance Army had over 400,000 Army, and the total military strength might be close to 500,000.
Besides the numerous Top-Tier Pirate Crew, it also included many Affiliated Pirate Group and a large number of Pirate from the New World.
In this battle, hundreds of Pirate Crew with considerable reputation in the New World were thus wiped out.
As for those without reputation, there were even more, at least two to three thousand Pirate Crew.
Even if a Pirate Crew still existed, how many members could be left?
The number of Great Pirate who Died in Battle was even larger.
Pirate Crew that originally survived in the gap between numerous Top Power were thus wiped out.
It can be said that seven out of ten Pirate Crew that participated in this war were directly wiped out.
The most obvious Pirate Crew that were wiped out were the John Pirates, followed by the Tyrant Bear Pirate Group.
"\"The Blaster\" Wendigo" Died in Battle.
The Pirate strength in the New World suffered heavy losses, with the remaining military strength being only about 180,000 to 190,000.
However, this still did not shake the structure of the New World, because the foundation of the Pirate was still there.
Most of the Top-tier Great Pirate were still alive, and the core combatants of the Pirate Crew were relatively well-preserved.
Compared to other Faction, their overall strength was still rule-level.
Everyone's gaze fell on Shiki.
The temporary meeting was held in an open space in the Camp in the Pirate Rear Area.
The closer the Pirate were to the Core Area, the stronger their strength.
Outstanding pirate rookies like Moria, Mihawk, and Crocodile could also see numerous World Top-tier Great Pirate sitting in a circle together.
It was just that the distance was a bit far.
Everyone was waiting for Shiki's answer.
"Alright, the bloody battle is over!"
Shiki "The Golden Lion" didn't hesitate.
He slowly stood up and looked seriously at the Pirate around him, most of whom looked tired.
The war could not be won, nor could it continue.
He could not act unilaterally for his personal gain; others would not agree.
This war was fought for the collective benefit of the Pirate, and he also needed to consider the collective benefit of the Pirate.
As Shiki's voice continuously spread outwards, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles appeared on their faces, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
"Whoosh!"
One by one, the Pirate cheered.
Holding wine glasses and wine bottles in their hands, they grabbed meat chunks and raised them high.
Amidst the endless cheers, they joyfully celebrated the end of the war.
This was the only, and the last, banquet of this war.
Only a banquet could wash away the inner grief and release the accumulated stress.
