Revealed
"Lawrence Bullet!"
With an angry shout, another man appeared on the glacier opposite the frozen giant wave where Bullet and Lawrence were.
It had demonic horns and dressed like a demon, wearing a jailer's uniform. Its body dripped with purplish-red venom, which corroded the ice.
Lawrence hadn't expected Magellan to catch up; it seemed he had quickly dealt with the escaped prisoners.
After all, Impel Down is very close to the Marine Headquarters; it only takes a few tens of minutes for warships to sail there. Magellan was only a dozen minutes slower than Lawrence in leaving Impel Down.
Lawrence and his group were faster, flying in their aircraft. They had actually arrived ten minutes earlier, but Bullet needed time to recover while observing from the shadows.
Due to Bullet's own condition and food limitations, his physical strength could only be maintained at a maximum of one-tenth of his peak.
After all, Lawrence could only operate covertly, adding some high-energy foods, but he couldn't go too far.
During this time, he kept replenishing his strength by eating. After all, Bullet's stamina was terrifying. Only with such stamina could he sustain a long battle and recover and consume a massive amount of Haki.
Magellan, after boarding the warship, pushed it to its maximum speed and even threw away some heavy items to make it lighter.
Therefore, Magellan caught up with them during this time difference.
Magellan's appearance was surprising; few people knew of him, but his appearance was terrifying, especially his purplish-red venom, which made him seem extremely dangerous.
"Magellan! Calm down, what's the situation at Impel Down?"
Sengoku looked at Magellan and asked.
He didn't ask Magellan why he had come, because it was obvious he was there to hunt down Lawrence and Bullet.
"Impel Down is alright; I've suppressed the rebellious prisoners." Magellan said, glaring fiercely at Lawrence traitor who was the root cause of all this.
"However, before I leave, to prevent any accidents from happening in Impel Down, I killed all the prisoners in Infinite Hell and Extreme Cold Hell. I will apologize to the government after the war."
Magellan's words surprised everyone. The Extreme Cold Hell and the Infinite Hell imprisoned pirates with bounties of over 100 million, especially the Infinite Hell, whose members could stir up storms on the high seas.
Now they have all been killed by Magellan.
Such behavior undoubtedly constitutes a grave mistake. The establishment of Impel Down was meaningful, serving to torture criminals and prevent the rebirth of Devil Fruit.
Impel Down a large number of Devil Fruit users. Once these users die, their Devil Fruit will be reborn, causing chaos on the seas. In particular, some powerful abilities might create Great Pirate who will bring trouble to the world.
"No, you did very well." Sengoku did not blame him. Magellan's appearance had also provided a great boost to the Navy, giving him even more confidence.
Whether it's the Whitebeard Pirates, Kaido, or Bullet, none of them are easy to deal with.
The appearance of two monsters in quick succession will cause considerable trouble for the Navy.
Sengoku remained calm, especially at this moment. Standing on the Execution Platform, he still did not panic.
At times like these, his thinking became clearer, discerning what he could and could not do, with everything geared towards victory in this war.
Thinking about Lawrence's identity and recalling what Lafitte had said earlier, and considering what the Night Pirates might be doing now, he seemed to understand something.
Although the actions of the Night Pirates are difficult to detect, the Marine Headquarters has thoroughly analyzed their deeds and ultimate goals.
What's consistent is that the Night Pirates don't specifically target the Navy; their attacks are mostly directed at the World Government.
His words, in particular, changed the thinking of the core high command of the Borsalino.
There's a certain unspoken understanding between them, and although the navy is somewhat passive and at a disadvantage, there's nothing that can be done about it.
"Sigh." Sengoku sighed and looked at Lawrence. If the Night Pirates could plant spies in the Navy, then there must be more than just a few.
There are certainly quite a few more in the navy.
"Your Night Pirates probably won't get involved in this war, right?"
Sengoku looked at Lawrence, his words carrying certainty.
He wasn't referring to Bullet, of course. If he were, the Night Pirates would have already intervened, which is exactly what happened.
He asked whether the Night Pirates would directly intervene in the war, that is, send powerful members.
Lawrence did not answer, but Sengoku had already discerned that Lawrence had no intention of making a move, and that Lawrence did not possess the same fighting spirit as Bullet.
They seem to be just here for sightseeing.
"There must be more than just you people in the navy, right? Come out now, and I promise I won't pursue the matter." Sengoku's gaze swept across the entire battlefield as he spoke earnestly.
I never expected that Sengoku would say something like that.
Many people find this very difficult to understand.
Although it wasn't very obvious, based on Sengoku's inquiries, the Night Pirates probably wouldn't send anyone to participate in this war.
However, some people see it as a very clever move, seemingly a way to reduce the number of spies in the Night Pirates.
But this only shows one side of the story, and is very one-sided.
Since he's a spy, he should be hiding; hiding is the only way to gain greater benefits. Why should he reveal himself just because of one sentence he said?
Of course, there will definitely be some secrets that are unknown to the public, and the intelligence that the Navy's intelligence organization can obtain is also unparalleled by outsiders.
Moreover, the wisdom of the Sengoku is widely acknowledged on the high seas. Before the Great Pirate Era began, how many Great Pirate were captured and imprisoned in Impel Down?
His impressive record of victories established his reputation as the "Buddha Sengoku," even overshadowing his original title Admiral, "Aries."
They are not qualified to judge whether the Sengoku did anything wrong.
"How surprisingly understanding, Fleet Admiral Sengoku." A somewhat familiar voice rang out, and a figure appeared beside Sengoku without anyone noticing.
It was Rediat; after their confrontation in Marineford a few months ago, the two were quite familiar with each other.
She wore a magnificent dark purple aristocratic robe, with long, flowing purple hair.
Rediat's appearance startled many people.
Another important figure has appeared.
However, neither of them made a move. Sengoku remained remarkably calm, and all his actions were geared towards achieving victory in war.
In the sky, an island floated, its ground bearing the insignia of the Night Pirates.
"Come out, everyone, we can leave now," Rediat said with a soft laugh.
On the relatively calm battlefield, the naval personnel exchanged glances, their eyes filled with a hint of wariness.
Just then, a Commodore smiled and, to the astonishment of his fellow naval officers, ripped off his cloak of justice.
The same scene occurred in many places, and in at least one of them was a colonel.
Nearly three hundred naval personnel suddenly appeared on the battlefield, most of them trainees who had graduated from the naval elite training program in recent years.
These were all spies sent to the Navy by the Night Pirates, most of whom were Commodore, making them a formidable force.
Some familiar faces have now had their true identities revealed, which is shocking.
Even the Three Admirals were surprised, because some of their subordinates were among them.
The truth, once revealed, is chilling to contemplate; it turns out the navy has been infiltrated so deeply.
Sakazuki was determined that after this war, he would investigate the origins, experiences, and how these naval personnel joined the navy.
I never imagined they were all spies, and neither the Marine Headquarters nor the Inspection Department had discovered it.
The fact that a trusted comrade was a spy for pirates was something some people simply couldn't believe.
More importantly, this is a very large force.
Most of the more than 300 people were colonels or Commodore, including some Rear Admiral, and many were high-ranking naval officers.
This scene utterly shocked the entire ocean.
It was only then that Magellan realized that Lawrence was a Night Pirates.
And there was one person who found it even more unbelievable: these naval instructors, Black Arm Zephyr, who, even though he wasn't on the battlefield, was still following the war's progress through live streams.
"Ha! Leaving peacefully like this? That's quite nice."
"We've been diligently fulfilling our responsibilities as the navy all these years."
"Now that I'm taking off this identity, I'm a little reluctant to leave."
The person who spoke out this time was even more unbelievable; it was none other than Marine Vice Admiral Novoya, who had risen to prominence in recent years and possessed formidable combat power.
He casually tossed aside his Justice Cloak, a smile on his face, and quickly flew to the location near the Night Pirates' island warship. Other spies who had deliberately revealed their identities also gathered around, along with Lawrence and his group.
Perhaps it was because they were revealing their true identities and no longer hiding them, or perhaps it was because they were leaving the navy peacefully, but they wore relaxed smiles on their faces.
But this doesn't make the Navy happy; the Whitebeard Pirates might be in a better position.
Some high-ranking naval officers, including Gion, Kake, and Borsalino, found it hard to believe.
Especially during the Sengoku, there were also a large number of other naval forces.
Novoya may not have had a good reputation in the Navy at first, but through his later performance and abilities, he gained the recognition of many in the Navy.
Outside of the Navy, some people who knew a little about Novoya were also shocked to learn that Novoya was actually a Night Pirates.
Many pirates were also shocked. If this wasn't exposed, wouldn't the Navy completely become the Night Pirates in a few years?
After realizing what had happened, many high-ranking naval officers breathed a sigh of relief, some even feeling fortunate.
As Novoya said, this was a peaceful departure.
What if it's not peaceful? I can't even imagine, especially with so many members of the Night Pirates in the Navy's high command.
"To be honest, your navy should also thank us. The navy's development over the years has also benefited from the help of our Night Pirates. These are all people we carefully selected, aren't they?" Rediat smiled at Sengoku, like an old friend.
Upon hearing this, Sengoku's lips twitched slightly, as did the others.
This is also because these naval forces, especially Novoya, made significant contributions to the navy; combined, their contributions to the navy were enormous.
However, we cannot only look at the positive side.
Regardless of the circumstances, it doesn't change the fact that they are spies, especially now that it has been exposed.
Nobody knows how many naval secrets they've leaked over the years.
Marine Vice Admiral Novoya knew even more intelligence, having attended countless high-level naval meetings, each one of which was of great importance to the navy.
Even now, he finds it hard to believe that Novoya was a spy, joining the Navy in such a blatant way.
Novoya had already demonstrated his abilities and character, but they never suspected that Novoya might be a spy; they were simply somewhat repulsed by Novoya's style.
"Baboon! Vergo, you don't need to hide anymore." Doflamingo's laughter rang out.
To the astonishment of many, Weil broke free from the pirate he was confronting, spread his wings, and flew directly to Doflamingo's side.
It seems that Vergo is a spy sent by Doflamingo to infiltrate the Navy.
The sudden loss of two individuals comparable to top-tier combatants is truly difficult to accept.
Moreover, Vergo was an extremely trustworthy figure, always at the forefront, never doubted by anyone, leading from the front, saving many marines, and revered by them as a father.
Sakazuki greatly admired Vergo, as Vergo was one of the few high-ranking officers who possessed a true military style.
Now that it's been exposed, it makes me feel like my worldview is about to collapse.
Is this still the navy? How can there be so many spies?
Judging from Doflamingo's actions, he is undoubtedly on the same side as the Night Pirates, and his current position is even closer to the Night Pirates' camp on Novoya's side.
They made no attempt to hide it, not to mention the spies planted in the navy who have stolen who knows how much intelligence they've gathered.
Vergo's exposure also made some people realize that the G5 Branch Vergo was guarding was very close to Dressrosa.
Accidents frequently occur in the surrounding waters, but they all end with reasonable excuses such as "accidents." Now it seems that Doflamingo may have been responsible, and Vergo covered it up.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Sengoku finally couldn't hold back any longer.
This is a question that many people share.
From the perspective of the Night Pirates, why expose themselves? And why is Doflamingo following them?
This is what Sengoku desperately wants to know: wouldn't it be more advantageous for spies to remain in the navy? Now that they've been exposed, haven't all those years of effort been wasted?
"It's meaningless. The entire world order will change after this war ends." Rediat naturally knew what Sengoku was asking.
What exactly is the reason? The world order has changed, and now the World Government wants to do and is doing something that no one except Doflamingo knows.
Even with Whitebeard's death in this war, no one dared to say that the world order had changed; at most, New World order had emerged.
"Huh! Has it started?" Seemingly sensing something, Rediat looked up at the distant sky.
