Pirate: I can fuse infinite Devil Fruits!

However, when faced with Aokiji's questioning, Topman Vochuli Saint did not respond directly. Instead, he turned his head slightly and stared intently at Kong, the Supreme Commander of the Navy, standing to the side with the same icy gaze. He asked in a harsh tone, "Kong, look at these so-called elites under your command. They are so easily defeated! Is this the result of your usual training?"

Despite Topman Vochuli's sharp words, Steelbone Kong could only sigh deeply in resignation.

He knew very well that at this moment, the situation was completely out of control, and they could no longer maintain firm control over the entire naval force as they had in the past.

However, even in such a predicament, Topman Vochuli, as the representative of the Celestial Dragons who has always been high and mighty and invincible, still believes that he has the responsibility and obligation to resolutely defend the supreme dignity belonging to the Celestial Dragons.

Just then, Topman Vocuri's aggressive and provocative gaze swept across the crowd once again without mercy.

Steel Bone Sky let out a long sigh.

Because he knew that the marines who had once fought side by side with a common enemy had undergone a complete 180-degree change in attitude since the appearance of these four mysterious figures—suddenly, they turned hostility into friendship with the pirates they used to be sworn enemies with, and even seemed to have the intention to join forces.

What exactly is going on? What are you guys up to?

Steelbone Kong finally couldn't help but shout out his question. However, all he received was a deathly silence.

"My lords, the navy was built up by your own hands. How can you bear to wipe them out?"

Steelbone Kong countered, preserving the last shred of dignity for the Five Elders.

Faced with this chaotic situation, Kong's eyes gradually became confused, and his heart was filled with unprecedented bewilderment and helplessness.

"Kong, if you want to blame someone for this, blame Ye Fei. If he hadn't brought Vegapunk here, none of this would have happened."

Marcus Mazsan gritted his teeth.

Im's original order to them was to eliminate all pirates.

But Vegapunk's words made Im change his mind.

That would be to wipe out everyone on the entire island, including the navy.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Five Elders, the source of all evil is Ye Fei.

"So you're going to kill your own people?"

Steelbone's voice trembled uncontrollably.

"As marines, we are expected to follow orders, and so are we."

Marcus Mazsan responded coldly.

As the Five Elders, they will unconditionally carry out Lord Im's orders.

The navy, too, must do the same, unconditionally carrying out their orders.

"So you want to wipe us all out here?"

Lieutenant General Smoker could no longer tolerate it.

"That's right? This is your destiny."

Marcus Mazsan finally responded.

"How utterly ridiculous!" Smoker roared furiously, his voice filled with grief and despair.

"We marines fought desperately against the pirates, sacrificing countless brothers, but in the end, what awaited us was not reward and respect, but the ruthless slaughter by our own people! I cannot agree with this so-called 'justice'!"

With that, Smoker snorted coldly, tearing off his lieutenant general's cloak—a symbol of honor and responsibility—and throwing it down at his feet with utter disdain.

The moment his cloak fell to the ground seemed to signify a complete break with the past.

The Navy has always touted itself as a force for upholding justice in the world, but what has happened now has made Smoker deeply question this so-called "justice".

The harsh reality before him was contrary to the beliefs he held dear, making it impossible for him to endure any longer.

Seeing Smoker's resolute action, his many marines were initially taken aback, but then they all followed suit.

In an instant, white military uniforms fell to the ground like snowflakes, creating a breathtaking scene.

Standing not far away, Steel Bone Kong silently watched this scene. His cold face showed no change in expression, but his eyes flickered with a complex light.

He did not take any action to stop Smoker and his group's behavior; he simply watched quietly.

Meanwhile, the Five Elders, who were far away in the core power structure of the World Government, learned of this upheaval within the Navy through special channels.

"It seems they're determined to betray the World Government."

"That's right, you don't feel any psychological pressure killing them now, do you?"

"Nothing that happened in the navy today must be leaked under any circumstances."

"Today we will wipe them all out here."

Originally, they still harbored regrets about eliminating the navy.

However, at this moment, that emotion has vanished, because in their eyes, there are now only irreconcilable enemies and rebels who are trying to overthrow them.

Seeing more and more sailors resolutely taking off the uniforms that symbolized honor and responsibility.

The four men's eyes were filled with endless killing intent.
