If it had been Kaido, he would have turned these people into slaves and forced them to work in factories or mines for the rest of their lives.
But Marco was not Kaido.
He ordered the Emperors Alliance and the Revolutionary Army to disarm every Marine and Holy Land guard they encountered.
"Sengoku, you'll have to stay here for a while. After I deal with Imu, the seas will still need someone capable of maintaining order. Even though I already promised the Fleet Admiral position to Kuzan, your experience and abilities are still valuable. Once this war is over, there will still be a place for you in the new era," Marco said while looking at Sengoku, who had been restrained with Sea Prism Stone chains.
Sengoku snorted coldly. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he showed no intention of resisting.
"I hope you can actually accomplish it," he replied indifferently.
Marco walked over and patted Sengoku on the shoulder with a relaxed smile.
"Don't look so serious. Professionals should handle professional matters. I may have spent decades as a pirate, but that won't last much longer. Once Imu falls, we won't necessarily remain enemies. Besides, looking this gloomy won't help your future promotion prospects."
"Hmph."
Sengoku merely snorted again and said nothing further.
After witnessing Marco's terrifying strength, he already understood that the world was about to undergo a complete transformation.
He had never imagined that a human being could possess such overwhelming power.
Even as Fleet Admiral, Sengoku felt genuine fear when facing Marco.
Perhaps there truly existed monsters who had surpassed the limits of humanity.
Compared to Marco's current power, even Whitebeard's title as the "Strongest Man in the World" seemed insufficient.
"Alright, let's move out," Marco said calmly.
This time, fewer than a hundred people accompanied him, and most of them were Giants.
From the Emperors Alliance and the Revolutionary Army, only Marco and the individuals who had inherited the Phoenix abilities would participate in the final assault.
Because numbers no longer held any meaning.
The battle at the entrance to the Red Line had already proven that against Imu, even an army of millions was worthless.
Only true monsters could stand on this battlefield.
At that moment, Marco opened his system panel and looked at the remaining quest.

After eliminating ten Holy Knights earlier, Marco had gained another 50,000 Attribute Points, bringing his total to 58,800.
Still, it was not enough.
Before facing Imu, he intended to eliminate several more Holy Knights or Celestial Dragons.
Dozens of figures advanced toward Pangea Castle within the Holy Land.
However, something felt strange.
Along the way, they did not encounter a single Celestial Dragon or even one guard.
It was as if the entire Holy Land had been abandoned.
Dragon frowned slightly as he looked toward Marco.
"Is your stamina alright?" he asked.
Marco nodded calmly.
"I've already recovered."
Ahead of them stood the enormous Pangea Castle.
"That's Pangea Castle," Sabo said while staring at the colossal structure in the distance.
The castle towered over the Holy Land like a mountain.
Even Giants could move freely inside without feeling cramped, which showed just how massive the structure truly was.
Before even entering the castle, Marco had already sensed an overwhelming aura hidden within.
Its intensity far surpassed that of the Gorosei.
There was no doubt about it.
The owner of that aura was Imu.
A faint smile appeared on Marco's lips, and excitement flickered in his eyes.
"So we're finally meeting."
Imu had always been the greatest mystery in the world, a hidden ruler who controlled everything from the shadows.
And now, Marco was finally about to face her.
The others also became serious.
Everyone understood what this meant.
The final battle had arrived.
Although the war at the entrance of the Red Line had involved countless forces, Marco's existence alone had rendered ordinary soldiers meaningless.
The upcoming battle would not involve massive armies.
But it would decide the fate of the entire world.
Marco looked toward the towering castle ahead and spoke calmly.
"Let's go."
"This is the final war."
