Some marines actually ignored the residents on the island! Even when pirates were holding civilians hostage, they mercilessly slashed them down right along with them!
Some marines even started acting like pirates, going on rampages to burn, kill, and pillage the island's residents!!!!!
Because of this, Haku's course of action was to execute this group of marine scum along with the pirates!
"Ten million volts! Heavenly Calamity Descends!"
Before Haku's airship even reached the island, he used Observation Haki to lock onto that group of pirates and marines all at once!
Countless flashes of lightning rained down continuously from the sky, and apart from the civilians, every single marine and pirate on the island was turned into charred corpses!!!
Originally, based on his impressions from his past life, Haku figured that no matter how rotten the G5 branch was, it shouldn't have rotted all the way to the core!
Unfortunately, impressions were just impressions; the cruelty of the pirate world was beyond what anyone could imagine!
In this world, only the logic of the strong was logic. The weak were forever destined to be bullied!
He hadn't even reached the G5 branch yet, and he had already run into a scene like this! Just how unbearable must things be inside that branch?!
Haku took out the Den Den Mushi from his pocket, and soon, on the other end of the line, Sengoku answered the call right away!
"Haku? Didn't you just leave headquarters? Did something happen?" Sengoku's calm voice came through from the other end.
Haku took a deep breath, and then reported everything he had just witnessed to the other man!
Silence! Endless silence!
Haku could imagine the suppressed anger raging inside Sengoku!
The G5 branch itself was located in the New World, far away from the central government, as the saying went.
Coupled with the fact that the branch members weren't particularly strong to begin with, Sengoku couldn't be bothered to manage that side of things.
Yet looking at it now, the G5 branch was probably rotten to the core!
And when Haku called him at this moment, it was also to get Sengoku to take a stance. Otherwise, once he handled this matter to an excessive degree, those people from the World Government would definitely use it as an excuse to make trouble for him!
"I know. Handle this matter with full authority," Sengoku said in a somewhat deep voice after a long silence.
"Yes." Haku naturally heard the suppressed anger in Sengoku's voice, and immediately gave a respectful reply.
Soon, Haku hung up the Den Den Mushi, and then continued on his way toward the location of the G5 branch.
Even though the G5 branch had rotted away, G5 was still the face of the marines in the New World, after all!
If the G5 branch was truly abandoned and left to rot by the marines, the marines probably needn't bother trying to establish any prestige in the New World from now on!
Haku turned his head to look at the marines who had followed him onto the ship, and he spoke in a solemn tone, "I think you all heard loud and clear what Fleet Admiral Sengoku and I just discussed!"
Everyone stood straight and tall, all of them gazing at Haku with burning eyes.
"Now, I hope you can remember your own identities and duties. We are marines, the guardians of justice, not the embodiment of evil. Our mission is to uphold world peace and order, not destruction and devastation. I hope you can keep this firmly in mind at all times and not do anything that violates your own conscience and morals."
Haku's words plunged everyone into deep thought. They were all marines, but not everyone possessed Haku's convictions and persistence.
In this world filled with violence and bloodshed, many people had long forgotten their original intentions for the sake of survival and power.
Haku took a deep breath and continued, "Now, we are heading to the G5 branch, and I will deal with anyone and everyone who has stained marine justice."
He glanced around his surroundings, then said, "I must trouble you all for a moment. Whether the G5 branch can operate normally from here on out will depend entirely on your support for a period of time."
Everyone straightened their chests, looking at Haku with unwavering resolve.
"General Haku, rest assured! As long as it's for justice, we will forge ahead bravely even if a mountain of blades and a sea of fire lie before us!"
"That's right! General Haku! Rest assured!"
For a moment, the marines on the ship all chimed in to agree.
Haku smiled slightly. He knew that these men's loyalty and courage weren't just empty talk; they were truly willing to give everything for justice and peace!
Soon, the ship arrived at the island where the G5 branch was located.
When Haku stepped off the ship, he looked toward the G5 branch, and his brow furrowed slightly.
That was because the entire G5 branch gave Haku a chaotic feeling. Some were brawling, some were gambling, and some were even chugging alcohol in broad daylight!
Compared to the orderly nature of Marineford, if someone claimed the marines up at the G5 branch were actually pirates, people would probably believe it!
On the outskirts of the G5 base, a hungover marine was slumped over a wall, vomiting the contents of his stomach!
With sleep-heavy eyes, he looked up toward the sea and saw a flying airship hovering in midair as it approached the G5 base.
"Heh! I must've drunk too much last night to be hallucinating like this. How could there possibly be a ship flying on the sea?"
He began to gently rub his eyeballs with his index knuckles, the cool sea breeze blowing away a bit of his drunkenness!
Just as he lowered both hands, Haku's airship had already stopped right in front of him!!!
The marine was startled at first, and then looked toward the deck of the airship. A youngster wearing a marine coat—worn only by those of vice admiral rank and above—was gazing down at him with an indifferent expression!
"You—"
Boom!
The moment the marine opened his mouth, a loud clap of thunder exploded behind Haku.
An invisible ripple spread outward from his body, and every single marine at the G5 base was enveloped by this formless wave.
In an instant, all the marines in the G5 base felt as though they had been targeted by a terrifying entity!
Haku wantonly unleashed the immense Spiritual Pressure from his body, floated into the air, and walked into the G5 base.
Perhaps feeling that it was about enough, Haku slowly pulled back his Spiritual Pressure.
A crowd of slack, undisciplined, and filthy marines poured out from the base one after another.
Haku frowned slightly. These G5 marines were just like a mob of stragglers.
Devoid of any organizational discipline, they were practically no different from pirates.
At that moment, a marine wearing pink underwear on his lower body, a G5 cow-print singlet, and a draped fur coat ran out from the base toward Haku. He was none other than Gamgyu, a unit leader of the current G5 base!
Running up before Haku, he spoke in his rough voice, "Whose marine are you, brat?! Don't you know this is the G5 base, not some place just anyone can waltz into? And was that suppression weighing down on everyone just now your doing?!"
While he spoke, the marines streaming out from the base surrounded Haku on all sides.
