At exactly six o'clock in the morning, fleets vast enough to blot out the horizon began entering the battlefield from two opposite directions.
The number of warships on both sides was roughly comparable. Each side had well over a thousand vessels, and together, the two fleets numbered more than three thousand ships.
Not even the Naval Corps of a single Maritime Kingdom possessed such a terrifying number of warships.
That alone showed just how enormous this decisive battle was.
The manpower and resources committed to the battle were equally staggering, making it perhaps the largest naval confrontation in history.
On the King's Edge Pirates' side, there were estimated to be more than five hundred thousand men.
The Erlong Pirates and their allied forces had around four hundred and ninety thousand.
Together, nearly one million pirates were participating in this battle!
To ordinary pirates, this was a sight they had never even dared imagine before.
