Defeat, the World Shaken

Marineford, now battered by storms, was engulfed in an unimaginable uproar that soared into the sky.

As if struck by lightning, suddenly, darkness descended, followed by a blinding light, its halo swaying irresistibly. Like a collapse, it ripped open, and a boundless, pitch-black mushroom cloud rose up.

"Boom boom boom"

An unimaginable catastrophe, a raging storm, swept down relentlessly.

The chaotic order was immeasurable; at its very center lay a destructive force, like a nuclear bomb that leveled everything.

Looking out from a high vantage point, one can see that Marineford, as a super-large island, stretches as far as the eye can see. In one corner, it looks as if it had been struck by Meteorite, with seawater flowing in and forming Abyss.

Giant mountains rose abruptly from the ground, and deep, Abyss- like cracks relentlessly tore everything apart. The Marine Headquarters buildings were reduced to ruins, with only scattered fragments standing in disarray.

Covered in blood, the surrounding temperature rose sharply. Ye Chen knelt on one knee, half of his body gradually coalescing, but the healing speed was too slow.

Covered in wounds and frostbite, with his chest sunken, Ye Chen opened his mouth and couldn't help but vomit blood; his face was deathly pale.

As they plummeted down, three figures stood before Ye Chen. The leader, Zhan Sengoku, was dripping blood from his mouth, looking disheveled and trembling as he stared at Ye Chen.

Garp and Kuzan, who were standing nearby, were also in a sorry state, but they weren't seriously injured, though blood was trickling from the corners of their mouths.

"You're out of strength, do you still want to resist?"

Looking at Ye Chen's half-healed body, Kuzan felt a chill run down his spine.

"It's all about the winner taking all the credit!"

Unsteady on his feet, Ye Chen couldn't bear it any longer and knelt down on one knee again, panting heavily.

At this moment, he was completely exhausted and didn't even have the strength to stand up.

No one can defeat Sengoku, Garp, and Kuzan – not even Ye Chen, and not even the Four Emperors!

Enraged, Sengoku stepped forward and kicked Ye Chen in the chest. Ye Chen coughed up blood and flew out, crashing into the ruins.

"Go to Impel Down and repent!"

He wished he could kill Ye Chen. At this moment, Sengoku looked at Marineford with his heart bleeding.

He hadn't expected Ye Chen's abilities to be so destructive. His entire body exploded several times in succession, almost leveling the Marine Headquarters and causing several ports to disappear, now replaced by a turbulent sea.

Just capturing Ye Chen would require Sengoku to rebuild Marineford, and the number of naval units lost as a result would be countless.

Ye Chen is now a complete sinner to the Navy, at least in their eyes.

Lying amidst the ruins, disheveled and expressionless, Ye Chen coughed up blood.

"Breaking news! Breaking news! Marine Admiral God has leveled Marineford!"

"The Marine Admiral has become a sinner against the Navy."

"The traitor to the Navy, former Admiral God, has been captured by Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Navy Garp the Hero, and Marine Admiral Aokiji. The entire Marine Headquarters has been reduced to ruins."

Extra! Extra!

The next day, a piece of news broke like a thunderbolt, stirring up the entire chaotic sea and shocking the world!

"Hey! Hey! This can't be real, can it? Marine Admiral God betrayed the Navy?"

What were the reasons that led the Marine Admiral to rebel?

People all over the world, of all kinds, were holding newspapers, staring wide-eyed at the image of a man covered in blood, disheveled, and being escorted by two sailors. Their faces were filled with disbelief.

"What happened that the Navy God betrayed them?"

"It was too sudden, without any warning. That's the World Government's top combat force!"

In an instant, pirates, the kingdom, and everyone else all turned their attention to the news agency, hoping for the latest updates.

Sure enough, not long after, a new piece of news once again shocked the world.

"The Navy's God, a user of Conqueror's Haki, is the true captain of the Sacred Pirates. He destroyed several Navy branches and wantonly attacked Affiliated Nation of the world. His crimes are heinous. The Navy hereby announces the stripping of God's status as Admiral and his imprisonment in Impel Down!"

This once again moved the world.

Conqueror's Haki? The Sacred Pirates? Destroying a Marine branch? Invading World Affiliated Nation?

Even setting aside Conqueror's Haki, the Sacred Pirates alone have been a shock to many.

Now, the captain of the Sacred Pirates is Thunder God Enel, with a bounty of 930 million. He Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit Devil Fruit User. That bounty alone is enough to make many people's legs tremble.

But now, this ferocious man is actually God's subordinate? And the real mastermind behind it all is former Marine Admiral God?

This is a huge shock!

For a moment, many powerful people fell into deep thought.

Grand Line, Revolutionary Army Headquarters.

Long frowned as he looked at the latest report.

"How exactly was it exposed?" This happened so suddenly, without any warning. It was as if a powerful hand was manipulating things from the shadows, like a venomous snake, striking with deadly precision.

Most importantly, the navy was too decisive; they captured Ye Chen without hesitation.

For various reasons, it's like trying to see flowers through clouds—a blurry mess, the source impossible to pinpoint!

For a moment, the dragon thought about many things.

Meanwhile, in the New World, in the territory of the Four Emperors, many pirates burst into laughter.

God's imprisonment is tantamount to the Navy cutting off its own arm, and its overall strength may have dropped to a lower level. In the past, the Navy had Four Admirals, and even when facing the Four Emperors, they were arrogant and domineering.

But things are different now. The loss of a top combatant is not just a matter of appearances, but a matter of the whole system.

In contrast to the decline in the morale of the navy, the arrogance of the pirates soared!

Don't forget, God also has a Sacred Pirates. The original Admiral rebelled, which is equivalent to infighting. These people can sit back and watch the tigers fight.

This phenomenon was not only observed among the Four Emperors, but also among other pirate crews.

The loss of a Marine Admiral has implications in many ways, affecting not only the navy and the World Government, but also other forces.

Meanwhile, within the World Government, once Ye Chen's actions were confirmed, the Five Elders held a meeting and decided to strip one of the Marine Admiral of his position.

In other words, there will only be three positions for Marine Admiral from now on.

This idea was carefully considered by the Five Elders, because the four Admiral made them feel threatened, and the Navy's power could not be exceeded.

Just like Ye Chen, if it hadn't been discovered early, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Therefore, the Five Elders are on high alert. As for the potential impact of stripping a Marine Admiral of his position, there might be some consequences, but nothing major!

Because now, the Shichibukai organization exists!

Marineford today is a deathly still place, with a terrifyingly oppressive atmosphere.

What is Marine Admiral? They can be the pillars of the Navy, revered by tens of thousands of sailors. But now, this pillar is a traitor.

This blow was unbearable for them.

It can be seen that many navies, whether in Marineford or in branches of navies around the world, find it hard to believe.

But the facts were there, leaving them no choice but to believe it.
