Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"Please, don't kill me. I will be obedient."

"I can be your dog, I can let you ride me, as long as you don't kill me."

"I'm very well behaved, and I eat very little. Just give me a steamed bun every day. No, a bowl of water is enough."

"Please, let me go."

...

Following waves of humble voices.

A total of two thousand slaves knelt down and begged for mercy in front of the navy that represented justice.

Even if the collars around their necks that could take their lives at any time are no longer there, even if the handcuffs and shackles on their hands and feet that restrict their freedom are no longer there.

But they still don't understand that they are actually free.

"I am a marine, you are free, and we are here to take you home."

A navy soldier looked at the slave who was kowtowing on the ground and couldn't help but step forward to help him up.

But looking at the navy soldiers in front of him, the slave not only did not stand up, but knelt down in even greater fear, and the sound of his kowtow became even heavier.

"I know you are from the navy. You were the ones who sent me here."

"Don't worry, I won't run away. As long as you don't kill me, I will be a good slave."

“Please…”

After hearing these words, all the navy officers present fell silent.

Even the naval generals couldn't help but want to turn their heads away.

At this time, these people were full of doubts:

Aren't they the navy that protects justice? Why are these people so scared after seeing me?

-

"This is to sacrifice a small number of people for the safety of more people."

Inside the royal palace of Alabasta, the former King Cobra uttered these words as he watched the heartbreaking scene before him.

"I will never let such a tragedy happen again in Alabasta, father."

Weiwei turned her head and looked at Cobra, her eyes full of determination and resoluteness:

"The ancestors of the Nefertari clan were able to choose to give up their identity as celestial dragons, so now, they will definitely understand my decision."

“It’s time for a change.”

"Not only Alabasta, but this world as well."

-

"Ah, this is indeed a difficult job."

In front of the Celestial Dragons' residence, Kizaru, who was ordered to hand over the slaves, understood what the Celestial Dragons meant after he waited for a long time but saw no one to hand over the slaves to him.

They who claim to be descendants of the Creator are unhappy.

Because they are unhappy, they can ignore the existence of the admirals. This is their privilege.

"General Kizaru, now..."

Faced with his subordinates' questions, Kizaru knew that he could no longer be slow, after all, Marshal Sengoku was watching this scene.

So he decisively ordered:

“Do everything you can to calm these people down and get them on board the warship as quickly as possible.”

"We will then arrange for personnel to provide them with simple treatment and conduct further examinations after they arrive at Marinford."

"You must pay attention to your attitude and not allow yourself to have any irritable emotions."

How could such emotions arise?

Even those who followed Kizaru here were from a neutral faction similar to him.

But since they are wearing naval uniforms, these people still have a sense of justice in their hearts.

Now, how can I feel annoyed when facing these people who are afraid of me?

The sailor who had just been kowtowed to by the slave was even in tears.

He carefully helped her up and said with a sob:

"It's really okay. You are free now. I promise you that the Navy will never abandon you again."

What is justice?

For the sake of peace in the sea, even sacrificing some civilians is acceptable, at least this way more people can be saved.

That’s what many sailors tell themselves.

But now, after seeing with their own eyes people who were abandoned by the navy, they no longer had the courage to use this sentence to convince themselves.

Can the value of life really be measured by a number?

Is the Navy really there to uphold justice?

-

Just when the people on the sea could no longer bear it and saw the tragedy in front of them, the live broadcast screen in front of them lit up again.

This time, the scene is very spectacular.

Above Marinford, the headquarters of the navy known as the most powerful and violent organization in the sea.

At the port that looks like a crescent moon, there is a very grand and vast square.

On the square, there were countless soldiers in white naval uniforms. Facing the camera, they had no expression at all.

Among them, several lieutenant generals of the giant tribe stood out.

On the side, the gentle Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan stared straight ahead without saying a word, while Lieutenant General Dauberman, with a scar on his face, looked even more majestic.

Even though they also saw Mary Joa's live broadcast, at this moment, they could not afford to hesitate.

Everyone knows that a great battle will take place here today, and the entire ocean will be watching.

Navy VS the Four Emperors Whitebeard Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates who escalate the war.

In fact, no one knows whether more powerful people will come here.

In a war of this scale, even though those who came here were the elite of the navy, no one could guarantee that they would be the lucky one to survive.

But so what? They are marines, warriors destined to sacrifice themselves.

Even if I die, I will not regret it at all.

With such determination and fighting spirit, the navy present actually formed a powerful momentum.

This momentum rushed straight into the sky, completely dispersing the dark clouds covering Marinford.

"Hahaha, it's really a terrifying scene." Kidd laughed wildly.

"If I had men like this, I wouldn't be afraid of even the New World." Capone Becky, who came from a gangster background, watched this scene and couldn't help but fantasize.

As the fighting spirit of the Marinford Navy reached its peak, five figures appeared again on the live broadcast screen.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Seven Warlords of the Sea have come out."

"He is a pirate recognized by the World Government and has the legal right to plunder."

"Bah, you said that pirates are evil, but you didn't expect that you would ask pirates for help in the end."

After seeing the Seven Warlords of the Sea appear, some people watching the live broadcast exclaimed, while others started mocking the navy.

This is indeed a quite funny scene.

The navy, whose main propaganda is to fight against pirates, has stood on the side of pirates in a battle of this level, and will even fight against pirates together in a while.

In the eyes of many people, such a navy should not represent justice at all.

But no matter what they talked about, the five figures had already appeared on the live broadcast screen.
