The Marine Army, confirmed to have dispatched a fleet of three thousand ships, has entered the waters around Ijima Island.
The main purpose of this army being dispatched is to cleanse the pirates around Ijima Island, freeing the island from its blockade and inability to mine Living Copper Ore.
At this moment, scattered pirates have already encountered this army and were immediately exterminated by them.
Now... this temporarily assembled army is cruising around the waters of Ijima Island, starting to search for traces of the pirates.
The pirates, in turn, are very cautious and vigilant, realizing that such a powerful army has entered Ijima waters, and they began to leverage the abilities they're very skilled at:
Hide and seek.
A bunch of pirates disbanded, transforming from the original Pirate Alliance army into small groups of pirate bands, engaging in a game of cat and mouse with the three thousand ships.
The entire Ijima Island waters are vast.
