"Have you heard the response of justice?" Hossd blinked blankly.
Dragon nodded, and a shout he captured through Observation Haki flashed through his ears.
It was also because he caught this cry that he asked Kizaru, who had been lobbying him to go to Marine Headquarters to meet Akira Marshal, to rush to the rescue.
Dragon did not explain, but asked curiously, "Colonel, can you tell me what belief made you choose to face death for the sake of justice, and shout the phrase "please shoot me" that will be recorded in history? Is it just for justice?"
Hearing this, Hossd was slightly startled.
Then, he straightened his body in silence and said simply, "Of course it's not just for justice! Lord Marshal has protected us with his life, and we should repay him with our lives."
Before he finished speaking, Hossd suddenly turned around and looked at Borsalino, who was sitting quietly on the side, and asked in a questioning tone, "Kizaru Admiral, why... are you with leader Revolutionary Army?"
Before Borsalino could react, Hossd suddenly changed the subject, and his aura increased, "Although you have just saved me and soldier Shirou, but if you have done something that is sorry for Lord Marshal, and even rebelled against the navy and joined Revolutionary Army, even if I can't kill you, I will try my best to make you pay the price!"
Unexpectedly, Hossd would suddenly turn the target on himself. Borsalino, who was leaning on the chair like a salted fish, tilted his head unexpectedly. After looking at Hossd for two seconds, he surprisingly didn't because of Hossd and others got angry because of the offense. He resolutely looked back at Dragon and said lazily, "You see, this is the current navy. Do you believe that even the recruit next to me, once he is sure that I have betrayed the navy, he will not hesitate to draw his sword on me, knowing that he is outmatched."
"So, Master Borsalino, have you really rebelled?"
Before Dragon had time to speak, Hossd's momentum rose again. Although Shirou, who was standing aside, did not speak, he immediately came to Hossd's side and stared at Borsalino side by side.
"It's really scary," Borsalino pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose and said feebly as if he was just recovering from a serious illness, "Don't be nervous, even if I betrayed the navy, it wouldn't be your turn to interrogate me. I came out this time for Akira Marshal ordered to contact Revolutionary Army leader Dragon. Now you have two choices. One, come with us to the headquarters, and I will truthfully tell your heroic deeds in front of Akira Marshal. Two, return to the island and continue to participate in the rescue."
"Huh?"
Hossd's pupils shrank and he said in surprise, "You... are going to the headquarters?"
Dragon smiled and nodded, "Before I met you, I had not made up my mind. But after seeing your heroic feat of risking your own life to save the civilians in the town, I believe that the current Navy has developed true justice under the leadership of Akira Marshal."
"So, are you going to the headquarters with us, or..."
Before Dragon could finish what he said, Hossd suddenly raised his hand and saluted Borsalino: "Sir Borsalino, please forgive me for the offense just now! When I completely resolve the East Blue crisis, I will go to the headquarters in person to apologize!"
"Before that, I hope you will give us a ride. There are still many people at the port waiting for rescue."
"You really don't want to go to the headquarters with us?" Dragon took the words and reminded tentatively, "With Kizaru Admiral endorsing you, the two of you are definitely the first to contribute in this rescue incident. You are well-deserved for the title of hero! With the current military merit system of the Navy, you can all be promoted to at least two levels."
Hossd looked sideways at Dragon and said in a deep voice, "Dragon, are you testing us? Of course the navy has a military merit system, but it's not your turn to remind us!"
"As for the hero you're talking about--"
"In today's navy, everyone is like this!"
Because of the special identity of Dragon, and the presence of the naval hero Garp in the port on the other side of the island, the ship did not sail to the port. Instead, after sending Hossd and Shirou to the shore, it decisively accelerated away from the island.
On the deck of the big ship, Borsalino changed from his normal state and couldn't help but look at Dragon, who looked slightly embarrassed, "I didn't expect you to have this day, Dragon, but Hossd was very polite to you just now. I remember when Akira launched a mutiny in our headquarters, several navy soldiers dared to rush into my office and even threw water on me!"
"Speaking of which, I haven't settled the accounts with the officers and soldiers below."
Dragon obviously didn't take Hossd's attitude towards him to heart. He stood up and came to the bow of the ship and looked at the island in front of him that was gradually becoming blurry. He solemnly said, "The reason why I haven't agreed to go with you to the headquarters to meet Akira Marshal during this period is because I want to walk around and see what's going on in Akira What kind of changes have taken place in the navy under the leadership of Marshal!"
"You and I both know that the navy was in disarray, and the internal corruption problem was even more serious."
"Of course, none of this matters!"
"The important thing is that the navy, from Marshal, Three Admirals and Vice Admiral Rear Admiral, down to the colonels of each major branch, all have their own justice."
"Because they have their own justice, different ideas and opinions emerge. You have your ideas, and I have mine. It's terrible!"
Hearing this, Kizaru's mouth twitched slightly.
brubru--
Suddenly, the voice of Den Den Mushi came from the cabin.
Immediately afterwards, a fifteen or sixteen year old girl ran out of the cabin holding Den Den Mushi that kept shouting.
The girl who came to Dragon glanced at Kizaru and lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Dragon is the liaison officer of the intelligence department!"
Hearing this, Dragon's eyes lit up, and he immediately took Den Den Mushi, without avoiding Borsalino, and asked, "Have you found any clues?"
"Yes, Sir Chief!"
A respectful voice came from Den Den Mushi, "According to information from the East Army intelligence department, the violent animals that appeared in East Blue and destroyed the town came from an island called "Vilmeio". However, this island disappeared sixteen years ago."
"It was also in this year that the great pirate Shiki, who was as famous as Whitebeard and Roger, was arrested and imprisoned. He escaped by cutting off his feet and never appeared again. At the same time, the island named "Vilmeio" disappeared."
"Golden Lion Shiki?"
Dragon's pupils shrank, "Is he preparing to make a comeback? He is really an out-and-out pirate. He has just come back and dealt such cruelty to innocent people."
After a slight pause, a cold light suddenly flashed in Dragon's eyes, and he continued in a commanding tone, "Send the order, dispatch all Revolutionary Army agents to search for the whereabouts of Golden Lion Shiki, and report the situation to me at any time."
