Belini and Villon ultimately did not escape.
Under the influence of the Siren's Song, his fleet was slowed down, and some crew members left on the deck fell into the sea and died.
Although Belini, wise in his experience, instructed the crew to tie themselves up to resist the Siren's Song, the fleet's sailing speed was still dragged down.
The Sea Demons did not board the ships to fight; they simply slowed the fleet down, allowing Bridges' Fourth Fleet to complete the harvest.
"This is the true strength of the Imperial Navy!"
Bridges reported to Roland and Sif with his head held high, joy radiating from him.
He indeed had reason to be proud.
In this battle, all targets were captured, and apart from the main targets, few were taken prisoner, greatly reducing the difficulty of the aftermath.
