After hearing the words of the captain officer opposite, several Shichibukais in the barbecue restaurant subconsciously turned their attention to Akira.
What is loyalty?
Loyalty shouted face to face is not necessarily true loyalty. At this time, the performance of the navy soldiers and the captain at the food stall opposite is a perfect embodiment of loyalty!
Because they not only show loyalty to their Lord Marshal with practical actions, but also regard him as a role model, idol, and even a god. They also practice it personally under his influence and carry forward their Lord Marshal behavior and habits.
Even a branch captain was adhering to the principle of "I will not enjoy this honor alone" at this time, which is enough to imagine what the current navy is like for the officers and soldiers of the headquarters and major branches.
If there is anyone in the pirate group on the sea who can share blessings and hardships, even if this pirate group is relatively weak, it can still have a place in Grand Line.
And when the navy is sincerely united, and both officers and soldiers have the same belief in their hearts, then this navy will be invincible, invincible, and even the gods can stop the gods.
Under the personal leadership of Captain Morgan, the anti-gang operation continued until the next morning.
Akira, who was accustomed to getting up early, had just finished washing and walked out of the bedroom to go to the base canteen. Binz quickly came up with Buggy, which had been soaked all night.
"Lord Marshal!"
Binz, who came to Akira, raised his hand and saluted, and then said, "Buggy seems to be still alive."
Akira glanced down at Buggy, who was still in the cage, and said in surprise, "Such a tenacious vitality? It's so good. I believe the science class will be very interested in him and hand him over to the soldiers to take to the warship to guard him."
Binz shook his head, "Since Lord Marshal said this person is extremely dangerous, let Binz guard him before bringing him to the headquarters!"
With that said, Binz ran towards the base port with the cage in hand.
Before Akira could continue walking towards the cafeteria, a familiar figure immediately caught his eye. It was Jinbe who had been out salvaging the remains of the navy that had been swallowed by the sea.
Jinbe, who quickly came to Akira, looked exhausted and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Lord Marshal, Jinbe has a heavy responsibility and couldn't find more naval remains."
Hearing this, Akira felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, but he did not show it, and said softly, "I have seen your sincerity, and this matter ends here. When you return to the headquarters, you will disband Sun Pirates, and all the crew members will return to Fish-Man Island to be on standby. As for you, you will stay at the headquarters and become the Navy's Knight of the Sea."
After a slight pause, Akira turned around and faced Jinbe, looking straight into Jinbe's heart, "Are you willing?"
Jinbe raised his head to meet Akira's gaze, with no distracting thoughts in his eyes.
The next second, he nodded slightly, put his right hand on his chest, and said with a pious expression, "I am willing to overcome all obstacles for Lord Marshal!"
"I believe you won't let me down!"
"I will not let your loyalty go unrewarded. As long as you fight for justice, I will fulfill your Queen Otohime's unfulfilled wish!"
As soon as he said this, Jinbe suddenly raised his head, looked at Akira in disbelief, and said in shock, "Lord Marshal, you... have you seen Queen Otohime?"
Akira did not answer directly. After sighing slightly, he said something that almost made Jinbe burst into tears, "Princess Otohime has great love in his heart, Jinbe. There are three people I respect. The first is those who make a living for the people, the second is those who earn wages for everyone, and the third is those who pave the way for freedom!"
Having said this, Akira raised his hand and patted Jinbe's shoulder, then turned around and walked out quickly, leaving Jinbe with a young and stalwart figure, and his sonorous and powerful voice gradually increased:
"Those who open the way for freedom, I will not let them get stuck in thorns!"
"I will not allow anyone who earns a salary for everyone to freeze to death in the snow!"
"I will not let those who work for the livelihood of the people die in silence!"
Looking at the young commander who was getting further away but whose voice was getting louder and louder, Jinbe's vision gradually became blurred while he was standing there, and then he straightened his back in silence and raised his hands in salute in the direction of the young commander.
For many humans, Queen Otohime is a very unfamiliar existence.
But Jinbe, who was born in Fish-Man Island and once joined the army of Fish-Man Island Ryugu Kingdom, is no stranger, because Queen Otohime is not only Fish-Man Island The princess of the Ryugu Kingdom is a great person worthy of respect! Because Queen Otohime's biggest wish is to change the future of Fish-Man and the mermaids, and hopes that Fish-Man and the mermaids can live under the real sunshine and coexist with humans.
But such a person who was loved and respected by the residents of Fish-Man Island was brutally killed by Fish-Man of Fish-Man Island and framed as a human pirate just to sow discord between Fish-Man and humans.
After watching Akira disappear, Jinbe slowly put down his saluting hand, then turned his head slightly to look at the sky, and said softly, "Queen Otohime, it would be great if you could live in this era."
After breakfast.
The warships that had not yet finished their eastern patrol sailed out of Loguetown and headed straight for Calm Belt.
On the deck of the leading mothership, Akira, who once again put on Marshal's coat, stood on the bow of the ship habitually.
Ain took over the work of Gion, holding Den Den Mushi dedicated to Marshal and standing quietly on the left hand side of Akira.
Jinbe, Moria, Crocodile, and Doflamingo stood in a row on the right side of Akira. Unlike when they followed Akira to East Blue, at this time, even Doflamingo among the four of them had particularly clear eyes.
Especially Doflamingo, after walking into Akira's office and saying "Holy Land has the dignity he lost", he was relieved of all his burdens and became more relaxed than ever before. If it weren't for the fact that there were people around him, he would most likely hum a tune.
As for Mihawk, the world's number one swordsman, he was sitting leisurely on a chair with his legs crossed and reading the newspaper, with a relaxed and comfortable expression on his face.
Morgan, who was about to carry out a comprehensive anti-gang operation against Loguetown, was the most excited. First, because his actions against the gangs were appreciated by Lord Marshal. Second, he was about to join Marine Headquarters and become Lord Marshal's personal soldier.
With such an honor, any branch officer would be too excited to sleep, let alone Morgan.
"BuluBulu~"
Suddenly, just as the warship sailed into Calm Belt, the Den Den Mushi in Ain's hand sounded without warning.
Immediately afterwards, the voice of Sakazuki came from Den Den Mushi, "Akira Marshal, I am Sakazuki. Now I will report to you the latest situation. I have discovered the Beasts Pirates fleet and will soon lead Akainu's Fleet to the sea area where it is located."
As soon as Den Den Mushi finished speaking, the four people standing on the right side of Akira turned their heads to look, and their originally relaxed expressions instantly became serious.
Akira did not hesitate at all and asked simply, "Kaido how many people were dispatched?"
"According to intelligence, Beasts Pirates is almost out in force. However, so far, no trace of Kaido has been found."
"In addition, Kuzan has entered the sea area controlled by Big Mom Pirates. When he sends the news, he will stop Big Mom Pirates at all costs so that he cannot leave the sea area of Whole Cake Island!"
New World--
On the rough sea surface, more than ten warships, led by Sakazuki, cut through the waves in the violent storm.
On the deck of the large warship headed by the leader, Sakazuki held Den Den Mushi in his hand, ignoring that the Admiral cloak on his body was flying wildly in the storm. He stared firmly ahead, and then said, "Akira Marshal, whether Kaido appears or not, Sakazuki applies to fight!"
"That's right!"
Akira's crisp voice came from Den Den Mushi.
Hearing this, Sakazuki did not hesitate at all. He decisively turned around and looked at the group of Akainu's Fleet officers standing neatly behind him, and ordered, "Send the order and rush to the sea area where the Beasts Pirates fleet is at full speed!"
"Yes!"
The generals responded in unison, then dispersed in a rush, quickly and skillfully returning to their respective posts.
Sakazuki was not idle either and walked quickly towards the command cabin.
However, just as he stepped out, the voice of Akira came from Den Den Mushi again.
Akira:"Sakazuki."
Sakazuki instinctively stopped and raised his head, "Here."
"Just go ahead and do it."
"With me in this headquarters, you will not and will no longer be alone."
Huh?
Sakazuki's pupils shrank, and the hand holding Den Den Mushi couldn't help but tremble.
Immediately afterwards, he had forgotten how many years he had not smiled, and for the first time at this moment, a long-lost smile appeared on his resolute face.

The third update ends today and will continue tomorrow.
Please send me some love and let me know that I am not alone! (╥╥
