Marine Headquarters Erupts in a Mutiny Incident!

The orders issued in Mary Geoise in the name of the Fleet Admiral Sengoku caused turmoil not only in the New World.

At this time, the Marine Headquarters was also in a state of great chaos.

A warship Marine Rear Admiral, all smiles, descended the gangway. Looking at the somewhat chaotic harbor, his smile faded with a hint of doubt. He pulled aside the Marines officer registering him and asked, "What's going on? Is there trouble in the war in the New World? Why does headquarters seem so disorganized? Is morale low?"

Upon hearing this, the orderly in charge of registration quickly said, "Commodore, something terrible has happened! Early this morning, the Fleet Admiral was taken away by people from Mary Geoise. Shortly after, we received the Fleet Admiral's order, saying that Admiral was involved in corruption in the New World, colluding with pirates, and attempting to split the Marines. In the name of the Fleet Admiral, Admiral Bane has been temporarily stripped of his Admiral rank and is required to return to Admiral to cooperate with the investigation..."

Upon hearing this, Commodore's eyes flashed with rage. "Bullshit! How could Admiral do such a thing? Who slandered the Admiral?"

"They said it was investigated by the Criminal Investigation Bureau..." The orderly hesitated for a moment.

Reset gritted his teeth and said, "I knew it! That Aramaki is up to no good. Ever since he came to our headquarters, he's been causing trouble for the Admiral. Has he gotten this arrogant now? Is nobody at headquarters going to do anything about it?"

It's obvious that this Commodore, who constantly refers to himself as Admiral and spouts Aramaki about Aramaki, shows no respect for Admiral but no reverence for his superior, Vice Admiral Aramaki. He is definitely a member of the New World Marines faction.

Indeed, that is the case.

Angrily shaking off the orderly who was registering, Resett led a squad of his men toward the naval port.

As soon as he entered, he saw a conflict breaking out inside the naval port.

The two groups of Marines officers were blaming each other, and it looked like they were about to come to blows.

"Vice Admiral Aramaki has already obtained substantial evidence!"

"That was the Fleet Admiral's order. If Admiral Bane pleads innocent, he can simply return and cooperate with the investigation, right?"

"Although Admiral Bane doesn't seem like that kind of person, we have to cooperate with the orders from Mary Geoise!"

"The World Government can't just frame Admiral Bane without any reason, can it? If Admiral Bane is innocent, why is the World Government investigating him instead of others?"

Without a doubt, these Marines are mostly Loyalist Faction of Mary Geoise. In fact, as mentioned before, the World Government has maintained its prestige for over eight weeks, and its methods of controlling the Marines include ways to cultivate loyalists to the World Government.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford... In Teacher Zephyr's words, this so-called 'Justice Headquarters' is actually too far from justice, yet too close to the Holy Land.

Within the headquarters, there are quite a few Loyalist Faction from Mary Geoise, which is the fundamental reason why Aramaki was able to gather a large number of followers after his arrival.

The person who was at odds with these Mary Geoise Loyalist Faction was himself a member of the New World Marines faction.

"Bullshit! You beast! How many contributions has the Admiral made to our Marines over the years? You bastards are still alive in the fight against Roger, Shiki, and Whitebeard only because the Admiral was able to withstand the pressure from the New World back then. You bastards are utterly ungrateful!"

"I don't believe in Mary Geoise at all. Back when I was in the New World, we were abandoned by the World Government because our country didn't get the Celestial Gold. Later, it was the Admiral who quelled the chaos there, gave me food to eat, gave me a way to survive, and allowed our country to return to peace and prosperity. Now you're telling me you want to remove the Admiral and Admiral back to be punished? Don't you even ask us if we agree to that?!"

"I think those few scumbags, Aramaki, are the real bastards trying to split the Marines. When he wasn't here, our Marines was perfectly fine. But as soon as he came, he caused all this trouble, and he still says he's not the culprit?!"

Hearing the insults from the New World Marines, the Mary Geoise Loyalist Faction in the Marines also became enraged.

"What are you doing? Mary Geoise represents the World Government; it's Holy Land, and for weeks..."

"How dare you show such disrespect to the Holy Land!?"

"You, a colonel, are publicly cursing Aramaki Vice Admiral here, which is a violation of disciplinary regulations. Do you want to go to solitary confinement?"

"You're rebelling, aren't you!?"

I don't know which one of them was a bit dim-witted, but he shouted, "You're rebelling, aren't you?" This completely enraged the officers of the New World Marines faction.

"Rebellion?! You scum think we wouldn't dare?"

"A bunch of trash who've barely even been to the New World! Back when we were on the front lines, fighting the most brutal pirates, you trash were still trembling under the crotches of dancers!"

"Let's rebel! Let's take them down!"

No one knows which ruthless person made the first move, but suddenly a brick flew out from the crowd and smashed a Lieutenant on the other side to the ground with a loud crack.

This attack seemed to act as a signal, instantly escalating the conflict between the two sides from verbal confrontation to violent confrontation!

The Marines, cloaked in Justice Cloak, clashed together. Fortunately, these men still had some sense of decency and did not use guns or knives. They fought bare-chested, at most picking up sticks, bricks, and the like as weapons.

Commodore had just arrived, saw this scene and, without saying a word, cursed Aramaki's Vice Admiral for eighteen generations. He then swung his arm and rushed in, grabbing the Commodore opposite him and beating him wildly.

What started as a chaotic scene involving only a few dozen people in the naval port quickly escalated and spread throughout the entire port, even drawing in some innocent Neutral Faction.

People from the New World Marines faction often gather together to have parties and such. Regardless of whether they know each other or have spoken to each other, they will always look familiar.

The same applies to the Loyalist Faction of Mary Geoise.

Now, everyone is wearing Marines uniforms, so there's no standard for distinguishing them when they start fighting, so they just attack anyone they don't know.

As a result, the Neutral Faction was in big trouble. When people on both sides saw that these people didn't look familiar, they didn't care whether they were from the other side or not. Since they weren't on their side, they just started fighting!

Therefore, the Neutral Faction was attacked by both sides.

This back and forth only made things more chaotic, and the situation quickly deteriorated and spread. From the naval port to Justice Plaza, where brawls broke out everywhere, the Marines on the outposts had no idea what was going on, but they still quickly sounded the alarm according to regulations.

It would have been better if the alarm hadn't been sounded. Once it was sounded, a large number of Marines quickly converged on this side. Everyone thought that some terrible incident such as a pirate invasion had occurred, but when they arrived, they found that their own people were fighting each other.

At first I was a little confused, but who here isn't related to someone else?

Upon seeing his good brother being beaten on the ground, he didn't care about anything else and rushed in with shouts.

As a result, after the alarm was raised, the situation not only did not calm down, but the gathering of a large number of Marines further escalated the conflict!

The entire Justice Plaza turned into chaos. In just over ten minutes, what started as a brawl between a few dozen people escalated into a massive brawl involving thousands!

Judging from this scale, this is no longer an ordinary conflict, but a full-blown uprising!

Sakazuki was sitting in his Admiral's office, Borsalino.

They also discussed what headquarters should do next. The two prepared to come up with a plan.

Moreover, the fact that they didn't invite Aramaki to drink tea already carries some implications.

Before the two of them could finish their discussion, Sakazuki suddenly heard a noisy roar outside the window, followed by the alarm going off. Startled, he stood up and went to the window to look outside, only to be dumbfounded!

Holy crap, how come those Marines officers and colonels wearing Justice Cloak are fighting amongst themselves in Justice Plaza?

And these are all large-scale chaotic battles involving thousands of people? And they're even spreading?

What's going on? Half an hour ago, when he came to have tea with Borsalino, everything was fine outside, wasn't it?

"A riot!?" Sakazuki suddenly snapped out of his daze and exclaimed, "Quick, Borsalino, you're fast! Go and quell the situation!"

If this riot is not stopped in time and spreads to the entire headquarters, or if the conflict escalates from hand-to-hand combat to knife fights, gun fights, or even artillery fire, then the situation will be very serious!

The entire Marine Headquarters could be dragged into this, resulting in massive casualties!

As Borsalino transformed into a golden ray and shot away through the window, Sakazuki was filled with mixed emotions.

From the time he joined the Marines until now, over all these years, the headquarters has never reported any riots or disturbances. Now, this conflict has inexplicably broken out, and Sakazuki immediately connected it to the cause.

"Even before Ortolan has made any move, a mutiny has already broken out in the headquarters. If he were to issue even one order to headquarters, it would instantly... be a civil war..." Sakazuki muttered to himself with a grave expression.

He had known before that Ortolan was extremely powerful and prestigious, but after this commotion, he realized that he had underestimated the guy's influence on the Marines!
