In a flash, it was the next day.
There were no civilians left in the town of Chronos Forest; the Marines and agents had evacuated, so how could the civilians not believe them?
Coupled with the battle between Red Hawk and Marine Admiral Kizaru, explosions constantly echoed, and countless houses were destroyed by the terrifying energy aftermath.
It was impossible for them to stay there any longer.
At this moment, in the waters surrounding Chronos Forest, 15 large warships, like 15 ferocious beasts, charged towards their destination.
Ten Marineford Vice Admirals, including Doberman, Onigumo, Dalmatian, Momonga, and Ponsky, stood solemnly at the bows of their warships.
"I heard that due to Red Hawk's interference, everyone on the island has fled, and Admiral Borsalino is currently fighting Red Hawk," Momonga said with a serious expression on one of the warships.
"It's Red Hawk again! Such a vicious pirate should be locked up in Impel Down!" Doberman said, full of indignation, when Red Hawk was mentioned.
The other Vice Admirals did not respond; after all, Doberman had originally said that Red Hawk should be eliminated, but now it was changed to being locked up in Impel Down…
"What about the bombardment? Admiral Borsalino is still on the island," Dalmatian asked indifferently.
"Don't worry about it. Such bombardment won't threaten an Admiral. We just need to follow orders," Onigumo replied in a deep voice.
The other Marine Vice Admirals slowly nodded.

In Chronos Forest, waves surged, making a dull sound.
Kalifa stood alone by the sea, her eyes full of anxiety, occasionally looking up at the sea and then uneasily towards the town that had already become ruins.
At this time, the entire town had been destroyed by the battle's aftermath; the roar of clashing Haki had echoed for a whole day and hadn't stopped yet.
She had already seen the Marine warships through her binoculars, so she was very anxious now. Why was Andy still fighting?!
"Yasakani no Magatama!"
"Red Shadow · Thousand Feathers!"
In the sky above the town, two dazzling beams of light collided with a thunderous roar.
The terrifying attacks finally crashed down onto the ruined town. In an instant, violent explosions reverberated through the sky, flames shot up, and thick smoke billowed.
After a dozen seconds, the smoke slowly dissipated somewhat.
Above the burning ruins, everything was in disarray. Andy and Kizaru stood opposite each other, nearly a hundred meters apart.
"How scary, ~ Admiral Kizaru, after fighting me all day, you don't even have a speck of dirt on your clothes," Andy said lightly, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
"How truly terrifying, ~ Red Hawk, in just a few days, your strength has grown to such a degree!" Kizaru narrowed his eyes, which were filled with solemnity.
He was genuinely wary of Andy now. Although he hadn't used his full strength in the day-long battle, it would definitely not be easy for an ordinary person to cope.
But now, Andy didn't seem to be struggling at all; he was incredibly relaxed. He couldn't help but wonder if Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru's strategy was wrong?
Would forcing Red Hawk into the New World truly impact the forces there? Or would it only make Red Hawk's strength even more terrifying?
Most importantly, Red Hawk had actually displayed Haoshoku now!
Thinking of this, a flicker of hesitation crossed his eyes, and he even had the thought of eliminating Red Hawk right here.
At this moment, he looked at the outer sea. The Buster Call had already arrived, and continuing the battle further would make it impossible to determine a winner in a short time.
"It seems Admiral Kizaru doesn't want to fight anymore. If that's the case, let's have a good spar again later. To be honest, I quite like fighting you because you're fast enough," Andy said, sensing Kizaru's intention to retreat, then put Zhu Chi into his spatial storage.
Kizaru did not respond, only giving Andy a deep look, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Then, he transformed into a dazzling beam of light and instantly flew away from Chronos Forest, leaving only a golden afterimage.
Seeing Kizaru leave, Andy also prepared to withdraw, but before leaving, he had to upgrade his jet ski with an upgrade coupon.
"System, consume a vehicle upgrade coupon to upgrade the jet ski!"
"Ding ~"
"Upgrading… 3… 2… 1… Upgrade successful!"
"The jet ski has been upgraded to a Sea Stone Smart Yacht! Fuel consumption remains unchanged!"
"Hiss!" Andy hadn't expected it to directly upgrade into a yacht.
This was good too; he wouldn't have to be exposed to wind and rain on the sea anymore.
A thought suddenly flashed through Andy's mind: don't yachts usually have a "mood-setting" crew made up of beautiful girls?
Thinking of this, his gaze involuntarily turned towards Kalifa by the sea…
The next second, Andy's figure flickered, and he quickly arrived beside Kalifa.
Seeing Andy finally arrive, the urgency on Kalifa's face grew even stronger.
When Kalifa saw Andy finally appear, the urgency on her originally anxious face intensified.
"Andy, let's go quickly! The Marine bombardment is about to begin!" she said, jogging forward to meet him, her voice filled with anxious urging.
"No rush, I have a big surprise for you," Andy said with a mysterious smile, motioning for her to calm down.
"Andy! What time is it, and you're still…" Kalifa's words were cut short by the astonishing sight before her.
On the sea in front of them, a stunningly beautiful yacht appeared out of thin air.
Its pristine white hull and sleek lines shimmered captivatingly in the sunlight.
"Image of a yacht"
Cough cough ~ This kind of, should be very suitable for life on a boat ~
"How… how beautiful a ship…" Kalifa's eyes widened, filled with shock and admiration; her fascination with the yacht was impossible to hide.
"Here you go ~ This will be our ship from now on. Let's go, we'll swing by the Marines' side before we leave," Andy said, then directly put his arm around the still-stunned Kalifa and jumped onto the yacht.
Kalifa only felt her waist tighten, and when she reacted, she was already brought onto the yacht by Andy.
"This scoundrel is taking advantage to sexually harass me again!" Kalifa's cheeks flushed slightly, her heart filled with anger and annoyance, and her face showed her indignation.
Andy ignored the stomping Kalifa. He walked to the control panel, and after fumbling around, he understood what the system meant by "smart."
So this was a self-driving yacht!
Just then, a piercing whistle cut through the air and reached them.
The Marine bombardment had begun!
"Andy!" Kalifa immediately snapped back to reality, looking anxiously at Andy.
"Oh, I haven't even started yet, and you're already in such a hurry to die?" Andy's eyes turned cold, and Zhu Chi instantly appeared in his hand.
As he started the yacht, he swung out several slashes, directly cutting through the cannonballs whistling towards them.
The hit cannonballs immediately exploded in mid-air.
The remaining cannonballs all landed on the island of Chronos Forest, and the roar of explosions instantly spread across the island.
Under Andy's control, the yacht left the dock, and after a turn, it instantly rushed towards the Marine warships.
Andy suddenly swung his sword, and a terrifying slash swept towards the warships!
"Hey, hey, hey ~ Red Hawk, you can't make a move over there, or this old man will be very troubled," Just as the slash whistled away, Kizaru's figure appeared again.
He stood in mid-air above the sea, tightly gripping Ama no Murakumo with both hands, straining to block Andy's slash.
"Kizaru, don't worry, I was just testing if you had left yet, Ya hahaha…" Andy stood at the bow of the yacht, laughing loudly.

I rewatched it today, and I found Kalifa's underwear a bit strange
