Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
Sengoku, Zephyr, and the others were about to hold a meeting and talk things over.
The meeting room was packed.
Sengoku was very satisfied.
Several hundred officers from the Marine Headquarters' doves faction had all come.
Zephyr looked at Aokiji. As usual, Aokiji looked as though he had just woken up.
Just as Sengoku had said.
He had to counsel him as soon as possible.
Zephyr thought to himself.
However, the situation with Kizaru and the others seemed pretty good.
They were completely different from Aokiji.
Zephyr frowned slightly.
"I know you're somewhat dissatisfied with Headquarters at the moment."
Sengoku suddenly spoke.
Zephyr looked at Sengoku.
At that moment, the officers in the room also focused their attention on Sengoku.
"The justice the Marines are carrying out now has come into conflict with the justice you uphold."
"You're not wrong."
"Your justice is magnificent and worthy of praise."
Sengoku began affirming the doves faction's justice.
"Zephyr is my comrade, and you are Zephyr's students. I can understand how you feel right now."
At this point, Sengoku brought up Zephyr. He and Zephyr were seated side by side.
Hearing Sengoku say this, Kizaru and the others nodded lightly.
Many of them had been influenced by Zephyr.
Zephyr's justice was 'gentle.' Even when facing the most vicious pirates, he had always upheld the principle of 'no killing.'
He handed pirates over to the law for punishment.
"Victor's actions were indeed extreme. His actions caused you to lose faith in Headquarters."
"However, I can tell you that my justice, Headquarters' justice, and the Marines' justice have never changed."
Sengoku solemnly made his position clear.
All the mistakes had been caused by Victor.
They had nothing to do with Headquarters.
Every problem stemmed from Victor.
Kizaru and the others nodded repeatedly
