The same thing happened almost simultaneously in many other places at Marine Base 110.
Not only at the Marine Base, but also among the Affiliated Nation of the World Government, many mysterious and powerful individuals emerged, who immediately killed the king and those wicked nobles.
Moreover, in some countries, the heirs to the throne and some nominated individuals announced their succession to the throne immediately.
The battle began almost simultaneously around the world. Although some countries had powerful guardians, those who took action were far more powerful.
If the Marine Headquarters saw them, they would definitely recognize that these people were the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, the children of the Big Mom Pirates, and the All-Stars Beasts Pirates and the Flying Six.
Not only that, there are also some masked powerhouses whose strength is ridiculously formidable, far surpassing those who have indulged in a life of luxury and debauchery for so long.
Wars broke out almost simultaneously in the East Blue, West Blue, South Blue, and North Blue Sea—the first half of the Grand Line.
However, this war came and went quickly. In just a few days, the world returned to calm, so quickly that the World Government and the Marine Headquarters couldn't even react.
However, while the World Government was still able to contact its Affiliated Nation, the Marine Headquarters was completely dumbfounded, as they lost contact with their Marine Base immediately.
However, the intelligence department of the Marine Headquarters did not pay too much attention to the loss of Vice Admiral Tsuru, but instead assumed that there was a problem with the Marine Headquarters ' intelligence network.
Furthermore, due to Luffy becoming the Pirate King, Sakazuki did not immediately appoint a new chief of staff; the matter was temporarily shelved thanks to the operation of the undercover agent.
By the time Sakazuki had fully arranged how to deal with the Straw Hat Pirates, more than ten days had passed.
After several clashes with the two newly appointed Admiral of the Navy, Sakazuki sat wearily in his office.
"These bastards don't even respect me. Just wait until I capture the Straw Hat Pirates, then it'll be time to deal with you all."
Sakazuki leaned back in his large armchair, a cigar dangling from his lips, closed his eyes to rest for a while, and kept analyzing the future of the navy in his mind.
But today, he felt something was off. The office was too quiet, and there were hardly any documents on his desk.
Normally, the documents he needs to process could probably be stacked two feet high.
Sakazuki frowned and picked up a document from the table to read.
"Um?!"
Sakazuki glanced at the signature with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He picked up another document, glanced at it briefly, and frowned again.
Sakazuki glanced at the signature, then quickly pulled out another document and looked directly at the last signature. His pupils contracted at that single glance.
A bad feeling suddenly welled up in his heart, and he quickly opened all the remaining documents, only to find that they were all documents from the Marine Headquarters.
"Someone come here!"
Sakazuki roared, and soon a staff officer walked in and saluted him.
" Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, what is it?"
"I'm asking you, why are there no documents from Marine Base and branches lately? Why are all the documents here from headquarters?"
The staff officer hesitated for a moment, then explained.
" Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, we've encountered some problems with our intelligence network. We're unable to receive intelligence from outside sources, and we're already investigating. Furthermore, due to Vice Admiral Tsuru's retirement, a chief of staff hasn't been appointed yet, so..."
Sakazuki understood, but he was still somewhat puzzled, his brow furrowed.
"A problem at the intelligence center is a serious matter. Have you found the cause? How long will it take to restore operations? When did this problem occur?"
The staff officer was startled, cold sweat instantly pouring down his back. He stammered.
"Reporting to Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, it has been ten days."
"What!"
Sakazuki suddenly stood up, an incredulous look on his face.
"What did you say? Our intelligence center has been cut off from the outside world for ten days! Why didn't you report this? What have you been doing?!"
Sakazuki was utterly enraged; he felt that in the past, he might have even executed these guys.
Intelligence is the lifeline of all powers. The fact that the Marine Headquarters was cut off from the outside world for ten days is terrifying to even think about.
"Well, Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, I did report this to you, but at the time you told them to handle it themselves."
The staff officer said somewhat aggrievedly that he had not only reported it, but had reported it three times, only to find that Sakazuki was busy arguing with the Marine Admiral sent by the World Government at the time.
I angrily berated him at the time, which led to the current situation.
Sakazuki vaguely remembered it, and he suppressed his anger, speaking in a deep voice.
Have we lost all intelligence access to the outside world?
"No, communication with the World Government is still normal, but communication with other bases has been cut off."
Sakazuki's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of horror flashed in his eyes.
As former prodigies of the Marine Headquarters, they had also studied intelligence-related knowledge, so this situation was simply impossible.
He remained silent for a moment, almost biting off the cigar in his mouth, while the staff officer beside him was too frightened to speak.
Suddenly, Sakazuki had an idea. He took out a black Den Den Mushi and dialed the number.
"Brubrubrub..."
"Click!"
The Den Den Mushi was immediately disconnected. Sakazuki's face darkened, and he dialed again, only to be disconnected once more.
He thought for a moment and dialed another number, but to his shock, the call was hung up again.
Unconvinced, Sakazuki kept dialing different numbers, but they were either hung up on or went unanswered.
By this time, Sakazuki was fully aware of the gravity of the situation. He had forgotten his anger and his face was instead filled with horror.
Finally, after a pause, Sakazuki dialed another number.
The call connected smoothly this time, and Vice Admiral Tsuru's voice came from the other end.
"Oh, Sakazuki, why are you calling me?!"
" Vice Admiral Tsuru, something terrible has happened!"
Then, Sakazuki recounted what had happened at the intelligence center, but Vice Admiral Tsuru fell silent. Sakazuki's heart sank again, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
" Sakazuki, I haven't encountered this situation either, but based on what you said, there's only one explanation."
At this point, Vice Admiral Tsuru fell silent for a moment, but Sakazuki could clearly detect a sense of horror in Vice Admiral Tsuru tone.
Sakazuki began to speak with difficulty.
" Vice Admiral Tsuru, what is the reason?"
"Call!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru let out a deep breath, seemingly trying to ease his heavy mood, before speaking.
" Sakazuki, the only explanation is that all the Marine Base and branches have broken away, or even defected, but how is that possible!"
"What!"
Sakazuki suddenly stood up, his tone incredulous and his face filled with horror.
