The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

Edward Newgate's foul performance made Smoker, who was trapped in a cage, able to feel the power of the former Four Emperors' domineering aura and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

"That old guy is actually resurrected? How is this possible? I have clearly seen his corpse. The Whitebeard Pirates have been annihilated at the Marine Headquarters. He cannot be alive..."

Before Smoker became the admiral of the navy, he participated in the entire war of Marineford and fought with Luffy and others. He was just a supporting role in the battle and did not play a decisive role.

Admiral Akainu personally ended the life of Ace, the son of the Pirate King, in front of the Whitebeard Pirates, causing the grandson of the navy hero to suffer a mental breakdown. If it weren't for the people who came forward to protect Luffy, Sakaski would have almost completed a double kill.

Edward Newgate, who lost his son, severely injured Admiral Akainu, causing Sakaski to disappear for a while. Afterwards, Blackbeard Teach took away his Tremor-Tremor Fruit and he died under a volley of bullets from the Blackbeard Pirates.

The bodies of Whitebeard and Ace were collected by the Red Flower Pirates. The severely damaged navy had no time to insult the bodies. The Whitebeard Pirates bid farewell to the stage of history completely, and the title of Emperor of the Sea was removed from their names from then on.

"Instead of caring about others, you should care about your own situation. Smoker, you are about to become a prisoner of the Revolutionary Army."

The Iron Dragon Gajeel was quite satisfied with his masterpiece. By controlling a navy admiral, the Revolutionary Army had gained an extra bargaining chip. There was no way the navy would give up a high-end combat force like Smoker.

At that time, even if prisoners were exchanged, the revolutionary army would be able to gain more benefits from the navy and have more breathing space.

In today's maritime landscape, the navy is the only dominant force, and its power has reached its peak. Such a behemoth makes other maritime forces feel terrified. If they can unite once, there will be no second chance.

Most people are worried about whether they can withstand the navy's next counterattack, and the Clown King never tells the truth. Outsiders cannot guess what his real purpose is for the time being.

Smoker, who was trapped in the sea dragon stone cage, did not look panicked at all, "Gajeel, your brain is really full of stones. Sometimes I really worry about the Revolutionary Army. It is Sabo's luck or misfortune that a reckless man like you becomes the commander of the Northern Army."

As soon as he finished speaking, the concentration of carbon monoxide in the environment was gradually increasing. The proportion of oxygen in the compressed air caused the area to be filled with colorless and odorless carbon monoxide.

As time went by, Gajeel began to feel dizzy and nauseous, and breathing became difficult. He tried to leave this place, but his body would not obey him.

He collapsed to the ground, strangling his neck desperately, and began to breathe the surrounding air in big gulps, but oxygen and carbon monoxide entered his body at the same time, accelerating Iron Dragon Gajeel's state of hypoxia.

Oxygen is delivered to the entire body through blood circulation, but carbon monoxide can occupy the ecological niche of oxygen, destroying the enemy's body from the inside, leaving the body's organs in a state of oxygen deprivation, and threatening Gajeel Redfox's life.

If timely measures are not taken, the longer the hypoxia lasts, the more disastrous the consequences will be. If the brain is deprived of oxygen for a long time, even if the person is rescued, sequelae may occur in the future.

The originally tightened seastone cage began to disintegrate in the air without the interference of the Devil Fruit user, and Smoker's body turned into a cloud of smoke again, escaping from Gajeel's control.

The Smoker landed gracefully beside Gajeel. Smoker admired the generous character of the newly appointed Northern Army commander. If the two of them were not serving different masters, they would definitely become very good friends.

"I am still grateful for your care while Gajeel is in the City of Reversal. If I hadn't joined forces with you, the Revolutionary Army, I would have almost died in that city. I will reserve a good position for you in the Still Water Prison."

The Smoke Fruit in Smoker's body is a very weak natural devil fruit. Using smoke for physical attacks, or including armed color domineering attacks, this path to becoming stronger is a detour.

No matter how strong the Armament Haki is, it cannot be snatched away by those strong people who have been training their bodies for many years, not to mention those who have animal-type Devil Fruit abilities. They are more proficient in the use of Armament Haki. After all, they rely on this ability to make a living and save their lives, and they compete with the enemy to see who is darker and tougher to decide the outcome.

For Smoker, it was a helpless move for him to use the Smoke Fruit to play with poison. He had a natural advantage in transforming harmless white smoke into various harmful gases.

As a result, Smoker has become the master of poison gas in the navy. The poison gas he has developed can even be prepared in the laboratory, which has the prospect of being fully equipped for combat.

There is a secret poison gas unit within the navy, but releasing poison is against the will of nature, so the female marshal tries not to use it if possible. However, the poison gas must be in her own hands. For this reason, Admiral Bai Ma served as a free guinea pig for a while.

"Well...if it was any other commander, you might have poisoned me to death. Smoker, don't underestimate me."

Gajeel, who was in a state of extreme hypoxia, began to breathe deeply in front of the Navy Admiral. No matter what gas the air was filled with, the Iron Dragon absorbed it all.

In Smoker's opinion, this was simply courting death. Carbon monoxide's affinity for blood was many times higher than that of oxygen. The more air Gajeel breathed in, the faster he would die. He was even worried that the other party would suffocate to death, causing him to lose a prisoner of the Revolutionary Army's commander.

But things soon developed in another direction. Smoker felt that Gajeel's body was becoming stronger and darker. Such a change was definitely not accidental.

As long as the Devil Fruit is related to the mythical beast dragon type, there has never been a weak one. Every dragon in myth and legend has some special abilities to a certain extent.

Gajeel lay on the ground, madly absorbing the carbon elements in the air, and its body began to undergo amazing changes.

The original human skin turned into hard black scales, shining with a metallic luster, as if he was wearing a layer of indestructible armor. Every muscle in his body continued to bulge and began to be filled with the power of carbon.

As its strength increased exponentially, Iron Dragon's self-confidence also swelled extremely. It was no longer satisfied with its existing strength and was eager to challenge stronger opponents. Gajeel's eyes revealed a crazy fighting spirit.

After absorbing Smoker's smoke attribute, Gajeel Redfox officially entered the Iron Smoke Dragon mode. His breathing became smoother while surrounded by carbon monoxide, and he could mobilize the gas in his body at will.

"Smoker, have a taste of your own power"

〈Roar of the Iron Smoke Dragon〉!!!

He took a deep breath, then suddenly opened his mouth. The two attributes merged into a strong shock wave that shot out from Gajeel's mouth and pierced the sky.

This shock wave carried unparalleled power and energy, instantly stirring up the surrounding air and forming a powerful airflow.

Everything was destroyed wherever the shock wave passed. Trees were uprooted and even a corner of the mountain was cut off. The Iron Tower trembled before this force.

As the shock wave continued to rise, its color gradually changed, from the initial white to blue, and finally to purple. These were all the benefits brought by the smoke fruit.
