At this time, Yamato said with a worried look on his face, "What if this so-called Ruler of the World gives this ability to a hundred people or a thousand people?"

As soon as these words came out, Rayleigh and Shakky were stunned for an instant. They looked at each other and saw the same shock and uneasiness in each other's eyes. They had to admit that Yamato's worries were indeed possible.

Seeing that the three of them looked hopeless, Allen hurriedly analyzed. "There should be restrictions on giving Immortality Ability, otherwise it would be the ten-old star or the twenty-old star, not the current Five Elders."

Rayleigh After hearing this, he nodded in agreement, and the worries in his heart were slightly relieved.

Allen looked at Rayleigh and Shakky and asked with concern, "There will probably be a lot of navy patrolling Sabaody Archipelago these days. Do you want to go out and avoid the limelight?"

Rayleigh and Shakky exchanged a few words, and finally, they decided to let Allen send them to Amazon Lily to stay for a while.

After several people came to Amazon Lily's jurisdiction, Shakky suddenly had a question, "Little Allen, why don't you go in and take a look at Hancock?"

Before Allen could speak, Yamato rushed to answer, "He just came out of that slut's bed two days ago."

Hearing this, Allen's face was slightly embarrassed. He coughed lightly and signaled Yamato to stop talking.

Shakky smiled like an aunt when she saw Allen's reaction. She thought it was all very interesting.

Then, she waved goodbye to the two of them, then took Rayleigh's hand and walked in the direction of the Royal Palace.

The morning sunshine, with a touch of soft warmth, shines into Marine Headquarters.

This should have been a morning full of hope and vitality, but within the Navy's senior leadership, there was an undercurrent surging at the moment because of the rumors about Kizaru's so-called "Two and Five Boys".

The soldiers were in groups of twos and threes, and their eyes revealed uneasiness and suspicion. Every glance and every whisper seemed to express their inner distrust of Kizaru.

The entire headquarters seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of haze, and the majesty and order of the past seemed a little shaky in this atmosphere of suspicion.

The interrogation room of Holy Land·Mary Geoise was small and dark, like a cage isolated from the world.

The only chandelier gave off a weak and dim light. In this dim light, Kizaru was tied to a chair, and three CP0 Agent stood in front of him.

Their eyes were cold and sharp, as if they were trying to find flaws in every expression and word of Kizaru.

CP0 Agent asked coldly, "Borsalino, do you have any private contact with Allen Gore?"

Their voices were cold and full of oppression, trying to make Kizaru feel nervous and reveal the truth.

Kizaru yawned, looking lazily as if he didn't take the interrogation seriously at all. He replied slowly, "Oh my, I don't even remember what he looks like~"

Throughout the interrogation process, Kizaru kept yawning and even fell asleep three times.

This made the CP0 Agents blush with anger. One of the agents slammed the table and shouted, "Borsalino! Answer the question seriously!"

They really couldn't stand Kizaru's uncooperative attitude. In their eyes, Kizaru's behavior was simply a provocation to their authority.

Kizaru rubbed his eyes and said helplessly, "Oh, interrogation must also pay attention to human rights, right? I didn't even eat breakfast~"

In the next room, Sengoku watched this scene through the monitor, helplessly holding his forehead. "This guy... is still the same."

He felt helpless and dumbfounded by Kizaru's performance.

Sengoku actually believes in Kizaru in his heart. He has worked with Kizaru for many years and is well aware of Kizaru's loyalty to the navy. However, this trust seems a bit weak in the current situation.

Since there was no conclusive evidence, Saint Saturn finally decided to release Kizaru, but asked him to cooperate with the investigation at any time.

Kizaru stretched and said lazily, "It's finally over~ My afternoon tea has gone cold."

After Kizaru returned to Marine Headquarters, he found that everything had changed.

The soldiers looked at him with strange eyes. They pointed at him, and some even whispered, "I heard he is a young man..."

These words are like sharp knives, piercing Kizaru's heart.

He used to be Admiral in the navy, highly respected and admired, but now he has been pushed to the forefront because of this unfounded suspicion.

Akainu glanced at Kizaru with cold eyes and said in a cold tone, "Borsalino, I hope you can prove your innocence."

Aokiji handed over a box of ice cream and said slowly, "Ah la la, let's eat something sweet when you are stressed."

Aokiji's attitude is relatively mild. He expressed his concern for Kizaru in this unique way, hoping to relieve his pressure.

Aokiji and Kizaru used to be comrades fighting side by side. He knew very well who Kizaru was and also understood the pain Kizaru was suffering at this moment.

Kizaru took the ice cream and smiled helplessly, "Oh my, even Aokiji is starting to care about me~"

While walking through the corridor, a recruit accidentally spilled coffee on Kizaru. He was so frightened that he apologized repeatedly. "Yes... I'm sorry! Kizaru Admiral!"

The recruit's face was full of fear. He was afraid of being punished for his mistakes.

In his eyes, although Kizaru seems easy-going, he is Marine Admiral after all and has a very high status.

Kizaru adjusted his sunglasses and said helplessly, "Oh, you even bully me for coffee~"

He resolved the recruit's embarrassment with a joking remark and also concealed his inner loss.

Kizaru was sitting alone in the office, surrounded by silence.

He looked at the broken sunglasses on the table and sighed softly, "It's really troublesome..."

Those sunglasses were as fragmented as his state of mind at the moment.

He used to be so prosperous, but now he is in such trouble.

He opened the drawer and took out an old photo.

In the photo, it is a photo of myself with Sengoku and Garp when I was young.

At that time, they were full of vigor and vitality, and their eyes revealed their firm belief in the naval cause.

Kizaru's eyes stayed on the photo for a long time, and he whispered to himself, "I just want to earn a pension, why is it so difficult?"

His words were full of helplessness and self-deprecation. The gap between his past ideals and reality made him feel extremely confused.

Kizaru was isolated within the navy, and his situation became increasingly difficult.

Someone even put a label of "Twenty-Fifth Generation" on his office door, which made him feel extremely angry and aggrieved.

He stood on the rooftop of Marine Headquarters, looking at Mary Geoise in the distance, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

It is nostalgia for the past, helplessness about the current situation, and confusion about the future.

However, Kizaru was not defeated by these difficulties.

He put on new sunglasses and tried to regain his confidence.

He lazily walked towards the cafeteria, muttering, "Oh, let's go eat first~"

He used this seemingly relaxed way to try to hide his inner pain.
