Oven, he lost an arm. Daifuku, lost both of his legs and his face completely disfigured.
Counter, died in the battle. And many more of them suffered very serious injuries.
"Where is brother Perospero?, " Asked Katakuri, turning his head to look at a fat young woman.
Charlotte Mondee, the second daughter and sixth child of the Charlotte Family, the eldest quadruplet sister of Amande, Hachee, and Effilee, and a snake neck-human hybrid.
"I didn't see him after we went to fight, " Answered Mondee, her face had blood marks all over.
"Where could he be!, " Said Katakuri, he wanted his observation haki but was stopped by a shout.
"Big brother Katakuri!, " It was a pirate, he shouted from the back of the ship.
"What happened?, " Katakuri went there and his eyes stared at the person he was thinking of.
Perospero, he was tied by rope on the back of the ship. His body was cut everywhere, many blue marks as well on him.
Blood dripped from his mouth, Perospero was unconsciously waiting there the whole time.
"Brother!, " Katakuri used his devil fruit, Mochi Mochi no Mi, to extend his body.
Bringing Perospero on the deck, the doctors checked him to find that he was not in danger.
"Who did this to you!, " Said Katakuri in a low voice, but full of anger. His fists clenched tightly, his gaze fixed on Perospero.

Big Mom panted, she looked at Akuma with rage in her eyes but couldn't give any injury to him.
There was only that cut on his chest when Big Mom slashed at Akuma with her sword.
After that, Akuma suffered no damage.
"Tired?, " Asked Akuma, staring at Big Mom with a slight laugh. He could still fight for a few more days without resting.
Big Mom grinded her teeth, she looked around her side to see only three ships remaining.
Her children were seriously injured and also lost the war that they thought they could easily win.
Then, Big Mom made a decision she never thought of in her entire life.
To run from a battle, yes. She was going to admit defeat if it would cost her entire life's hard work.
"You are lucky, old man! Next time we meet, I will kill you with my own hands!, " Said Big Mom, she stood on Zeus and flew back to her ship.
"Let's go!, " Ordered Big Mom hurriedly, her eyes glared at Akuma with pure hatred.
Akuma raised his hand in the air, indicating his pirates to not attack.
"Coward, " Said Akuma floating in the air, his voice may not be loud but was heard by Big Mom.
"Aaa!, " Big Mom smashed a part of the ship in anger, she then went inside to cool herself.
As the three ships sailed, they disappeared in the horizon of the sea.
The sun set down, night was coming with stars and the moon.
"Woooo! Hurray!, " The Devil's Pirates, after the victory in the war with Big Mom Pirates.
They started their celebration as they sailed back towards the Devil's Home.

Inside a bar, a man flipped the newspaper pages. A wanted poster flew out of the newspaper.
As the man read the news, there was a bitter smile on his face. He bent down to lift the poster and see it.
On it, was a man with some small white ghost around him, his lower half was in gas while he held a metal bat over his shoulder.
It was Akuma, he looked straight at the camera giving a plain look.
This image was obtained in the battle between Akuma and Big Mom.
"He really is alive, and doing pretty good, " Said the man stroking his beard and reading more of the news.
"Rayleigh!, " A voice called the man out of the newspaper world.
The man was none other than the right hand of the Pirate King, Silvers Rayleigh also called 'Dark King'.
He is the former first mate of the Roger Pirates, known as the "Right Hand of the Pirate King".
"Oh, Hachi! You are here!, " Said Rayleigh, he turned to see a young boy walking in the bar.
He was an octopus fish-man, had eight appendages (six arms and two legs) and an octopus-like face.
He has pink skin and gray hair styled with five spikes (although this number increased by the time he had become a takoyaki salesman due to him growing a second row of spikes).
He has a muscular build and has suction cups on his six arms, which he can use to cling on to walls.
"What are you reading?, " Asked Hatchan, nicknamed Hachi, while coming next to Rayleigh and sitting on the chair.
"Just the latest newspaper, and also remembering a past adventure in an unconquered storm, " Replied Rayleigh as he smiled at Hachi and closed the newspaper.
"Must be nice to roam around the world, " Said Hachi with his voice full of curiosity.
"Haha! Yes!, " Said Rayleigh as he laughed and then they continued to talk more about Rayleigh adventures.
