Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 183 This blow, twenty years of rage, what can you use to block it?

The warships quickly arrived at the G-5 naval base port.

After the ship's ladder was lowered, the naval soldiers on the warship were the first to disembark and guard the port.

This action made Vergo, who had initially been welcoming, feel a little uneasy, but he didn't show it and waited patiently in place.

Soon, after the security was completed, Sengoku and Bane stepped off the warship together, followed by Zoro and others.

As Sengoku stepped onto the naval port, Vergo stepped forward and said, "Grand Inspector, welcome to G-5."

Sengoku nodded calmly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

At the same time, Bane also came down and greeted Vergo with a smile, saying, "Lieutenant General Vergo, this should be our first real meeting, right? I really regret that I couldn't fight alongside you during the Battle of Marineford."

Vergo seemed surprised by Bane's good attitude, even though they had clashed in a meeting before.

As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face, and Vergo also put on a warm smile and said, "It is indeed a pity that I was unable to participate in that war, but I was also responsible for maintaining the G-5 naval base, so it was unavoidable."

"Yes," Bane nodded.

Sengoku then spoke up, "Alright, let's not talk about that for now, Lieutenant General Vergo. I'm going to be supervising G-5 from now on, and I hope you'll cooperate."

"Of course, no problem, it's our duty," Vergo said without hesitation, stepping aside and raising his hand, "Grand Inspector, please."

However, Sengoku did not take a step. He looked at Vergo with a meaningful gaze, and after a moment said, "Let's start from here."

"Here?" Vergo asked, somewhat puzzled, not quite understanding Sengoku's meaning.

However, the next second, Sengoku said in a deep voice, "Communications team, activate a complete signal blockade. During the inspection period, no signal is allowed to originate from here!"

"Yes, sir!" a naval captain immediately responded, and then the large signal jammer on the warship quickly deployed, blocking all signals around the entire G-5 sea area.

Bane turned around and said, "Admiral Zoro, Admiral Fubuki, take your men to all the warships that have not yet been deployed in the General's Port and take control of them. Search the warships to see if the quantity of military supplies on them meets the regulations."

"Yes!" Fubuki and Zoro quickly replied.

Meanwhile, Waver and Nami also joined the operation.

Only Ian remained standing behind Bane without making any move.

This series of arrangements gradually made Vergo's expression stiffen!

Although the position of Grand Inspector had been vacant for a long time, there were still inspections from headquarters on a regular basis. However, this situation had never occurred before, where all signals were immediately blocked. As for the warships that Bane arranged to inspect, there were no problems in name, but in reality, it was equivalent to controlling the warships here.

With the positions of the naval forces from headquarters also in place, it becomes clear that they have almost completely controlled all the coastal defense guns and fortifications in the port.

Not only was Vergo's expression somewhat solemn, but the navy personnel in G-5 also looked resentful, seemingly quite dissatisfied with the attitude of headquarters.

Sengoku's gaze swept over these people, and he understood that Vergo held a very high position in the hearts of these G-5 naval personnel.

"Grand Inspector, what's going on?" Vergo took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.

Sengoku's gaze gradually took on a sense of oppression as he stared intently at Vergo without uttering a word.

Vergo's mood grew increasingly gloomy, and his unease gradually spread to his expression. Fortunately, he had large sunglasses that could cover his eyes, making it impossible for anyone to notice the change in his gaze.

"I have always admired you, Vergo, over the years. You have done a great job here, and our headquarters has a very good impression of you. Everyone thinks you are an excellent vice admiral and base commander," Sengoku said slowly.

Although it was clearly a compliment, Vergo's expression didn't improve, and he said stiffly, "These are things I should do."

"Yes, these are things you should do," Sengoku murmured softly.

The next second, his gaze sharpened as he stared at Vergo and said, "However, a few days ago, I received a report within headquarters. To be honest, when I first heard this news, I was skeptical, because the person told me that you are not the upright, kind, humble, and gentle vice admiral I remember, but an undercover agent from a pirate family."

Upon hearing the description "a spy from a pirate family," Vergo immediately relaxed considerably.

It's been exposed.

There is no doubt about this, otherwise the great inspector of the Warring States period would not have adopted such an attitude from the very beginning.

Concealment? There's no need to conceal anything anymore. Once suspicion arises, the outcome no longer matters. Besides, that's exactly his undercover identity.

When no one is investigating, he can perfectly play the role of a vice admiral, but a fake is still a fake. As long as there is a thorough investigation, his mistakes will always be caught. How can something that has been done really leave no trace?

However, Vergo was very puzzled: who had leaked the information?

Bane?

His gaze, hidden behind his sunglasses, fell on Bane, who was standing next to Sengoku. But he thought it was unlikely. He had never interacted with him before, and the young master had never had any conflict with this person. Besides, how could he know these things?

But now is not the time to think about these things.

Just then, a G-5 naval captain, disregarding the occasion and his rank, retorted: "Grand Inspector, how could Mr. Vergo be a spy from the pirates? We bastards know him better than anyone. Every time we fight pirates, Mr. Vergo is always at the forefront, risking his life. He never discriminates against us trash that headquarters despises. In him, I see almost the perfect image of every naval officer. How could that be?"

"Vergo, is that so?" Sengoku didn't even glance at the naval captain; his gaze never left Vergo. He simply used this opportunity to ask again.

Vergo's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something.

Everyone's attention was drawn to him, wanting to hear his explanation.

However, there was no explanation; it was just a feint. In the next instant, Vergo suddenly took a step forward, and at the same time, his hand was filled with powerful Armament Haki. He grabbed at Sengoku's throat, seemingly preparing to catch Sengoku off guard and tear his throat.

This sudden turn of events startled the surrounding navy personnel, but because it happened so suddenly, no one was able to react in time.

Bane could certainly have stopped it, but he didn't, because he knew that Sengoku, though old, was still the top fighter on the sea. He didn't trust Vergo, so how could he be taken down by Vergo without any defense?

Just as Vergo's fingertips were less than a palm's width away from Sengoku's throat, his movements stopped.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"It seems you have indeed disappointed me," Sengoku said, shaking his head with a tone full of regret.

Looking closer, one could see that Vergo's arm, which was wrapped with considerable domineering power, was being firmly gripped at the wrist by Sengoku's broad hand.

In fact, the Warring States period did not use any of its domineering power!

Sengoku was indeed disappointed. Although he hated the outcome and had been sleepless before coming, as a Marine and a former Fleet Admiral, he really hoped that it was all a misunderstanding and a slander, and that Vergo was still the admiral everyone praised, not some pirate spy.

Unfortunately, the facts are already clear.

"I'm sorry, Inspector General, but even in the face of justice, I have a stance I must uphold." Vergo's wrist was being gripped, but he showed no dramatic change in emotion and remained remarkably calm as he spoke.

"I already know about the matter of Minion Island. Now I'll ask you one question: all these years, when you stand before me, have you ever felt even a shred of shame?" Sengoku asked, staring at Vergo.

Vergo's tone remained calm as he replied without the slightest hesitation, "No."

"Is that so?" Sengoku nodded, then his expression suddenly turned ferocious. "In that case, I no longer need to have any expectations of you. Now, you can truly experience the rage I've accumulated over the past twenty years!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Sengoku suddenly unleashed an overwhelming aura of Conqueror's Haki, instantly shattering the black Armament Haki wrapped around Vergo's wrist. Then, with a crack, he crushed Vergo's wrist.

Despite suffering such a severe blow, Vergo did not utter a sound of pain. He may have committed a thousand sins, but he truly deserves the name of a tough guy!

The counterattack began immediately. His other arm was also enveloped in a domineering power like dark armor, and he threw another punch at Sengoku.

Then, golden light burst forth, and the figure of the Warring States suddenly grew taller and stronger, like a living god or Buddha. The dazzling golden light covered everything around it, making it impossible to see what was happening there.

With a loud bang, an impact and tremor came, and in the golden dust, Bane turned his head slightly, and a shattered pebble flew past his ear.

After that, there was no more fighting. The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and Bane looked at Sengoku beside him. He had returned to his original appearance and was no longer as majestic as a god or Buddha.

However, Bane saw a look of sorrow on his face, and a faint glimmer of tears in his eyes.

He knew that Sengoku was not grieving for Vergo, but for Rosinandi.

Looking down, Vergo's body lay sprawled on the ground, the ground beneath him, constructed by the navy using solid stones, now completely shattered.

There were no obvious external injuries, but his originally strong domineering power had completely dissipated and could no longer be gathered in his body. At the same time, blood was flowing out of his mouth, nose, ears, and eyes.

If it weren't for the faint rise and fall of his chest proving he was still alive, he would have looked as if he were dead.

Bane was not surprised that Sengoku had defeated Vergo in one fell swoop.

After all, this attack carried the pent-up anger that had been suppressed within the Warring States for twenty years. What could Vergo possibly use to block it?
