Feeling the suffocating chill in the air, as well as the densely packed navy soldiers and officers at all levels who were neatly dressed and imposing, even those as arrogant as Doflamingo fell silent at this moment.
The expression on his face was even more serious than ever before.
Similarly, Crocodile also had to re-examine his identity and correct his position to face this naval team that seemed to have been completely transformed.
Although Jaz and Moria had their own thoughts, they did not show it. They seemed calm in silence, but in fact they were panicking.
The easiest one is Jinbe.
As early as when he received the call-up order for Shichibukai, he learned about all the recent events in Marine Headquarters through various Big News Morgans and related channels, and made a relatively rational judgment on Marine Headquarters, the newly appointed young Marshal.
Through the actions of young Marshal from launching a mutiny to purging Marine Headquarters and even all dissidents in the base, as well as forcing World Government to compromise and sign Mary Geoise Treaty, he did not think that this young Marshal will forcibly suppress them as Shichibukai when the Shichibukai meeting is held. At most, they can use this public execution to scare away the members and deter the members of Shichibukai and the lawless pirate groups on the sea.
"It's really creepy!"
After a short silence, Doflamingo hunched forward slowly, his walking posture no longer as arrogant as before.
Under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes that came over, Jaz and Moria followed closely, and even Crocodile just looked around before correcting his posture, walked up to the high platform, and sat in two rows at the rectangular conference table.
"Everyone has it!"
Just as a few people sat down, a shout suddenly came from the entrance to the square.
Before a few people could react, including Strawberry and others standing on the high platform, all the officers and soldiers in the square turned around almost at the same time, and all the eyes looking in the same direction became more fanatical than ever at this moment.
"Lord Marshal is here!"
"Stand at attention!"
"Salute!"
Wow--
Accompanied by a neat and shocking voice, all officers and soldiers in the square straightened their bodies at the same time, raised their right hands and shouted in unison, "Loyalty!"
Amidst the chanting of slogans, a group of people immediately walked out of the entrance of the square.
The leader was none other than the new Marshal Akira, the high-spirited Marine Headquarters, wearing the Marshal coat.
Following closely behind Akira, the young Marshal, were walking side by side Three Admirals and Gion, who had just been promoted to Admiral.
Looking at the figures walking between the enthusiastic-looking soldiers and officers on both sides of the separation, the five Shichibukai sitting on the high-level conference table were still surprised even though they were used to seeing strong winds and waves.
Especially Doflamingo. Although he had seen the group photo of Akira with a group of officers and soldiers through the news published by Marine Headquarters, after seeing Akira on the stage with his own eyes, he couldn't help but light up his eyes, and he couldn't help but reveal an evil smile at the corner of his mouth.
If he had seen the Legend of Chu and Han, he would definitely be able to help but blurt out "This is what a man should do" just like Liu Bang did when he first met the First Emperor.
Just when the five Shichibukais were all attracted by the passionate scene caused by the entrance of the young Marshal, Akira, three figures suddenly walked out quickly from the entrance of the square.
The leader was none other than Jora Ker·Mihawk, the world's number one swordsman who was walking in front with Supreme Grade Sword on his back and walking gracefully.
Following closely behind were Amazon Lily Empress Boa Hancock who caused a commotion among the navy soldiers and some officers who were standing tall and neatly in military appearance as soon as they appeared, and Gunko who was wearing underwear, a cape and a newsboy cap.
"Oh? An unexpected person appears!"
Looking at Mihawk who followed Akira into the square, Doflamingo grinned. "I didn't expect that he actually lives in Marine Headquarters, and also entered the square with Akira. Is this complete surrender? Bahbaahah~"
After letting out a burst of evil laughter that was unique to him, Doflamingo immediately turned his attention to Gunko who was standing side by side with Hancock. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his eyes stayed on a pattern on Gunko's arm. He widened his eyes unexpectedly and secretly said in his heart, "Is that... the sign of Knights of God?"
Just then.
Accompanied by Admiral, Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan and Gion, they quickly walked up to the high platform and walked straight to the chair at the top of the conference table and sat down.
The four Admiral did not sit down, but were separated on the left and right sides of Akira.
After taking off the gloves on his hands and placing them on the conference table, Akira glanced at the five Shichibukai who were already seated with a warm smile on his face, as if he had met a long-lost friend, and said in a gentle tone:
"Good afternoon, everyone--"
"Grand Line scumbags!"
As soon as these words came out, the five Shichibukais all widened their eyes unexpectedly.
When they saw Akira saying "Good afternoon, everyone" with a warm smile and a gentle tone, they were already ready to nod in return, but before they could react, Akira immediately said "scum, scum", which made them unexpected and at the same time stuck in their throats. The words that came to their mouths were blocked in their throats.
Fortunately, at this moment, Mihawk and Hancock also boarded the high platform, and sat on the left and right sides closest to Akira.
Of course, even if Mihawk and Hancock didn't show up, they would just stare.
Because regardless of Akira's identity and strength, just the strong aura of Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan and Gion standing on the left and right of Akira, as well as the sense of oppression from Marine Headquarters's highest combat power, were enough to keep them silent.
"Akira--"
As soon as she sat down, Hancock immediately focused her eyes on Akira. However, as soon as she said the words, Akira glared over, "Hancock, there is only one thing you have to do next, sit quietly and don't talk."
"Okay... okay."
Akira suddenly called him by his first name, which made Hancock blush instantly. Then he sat up obediently, thinking about the beautiful pictures of everyone, and even thought of the name of the child.
A sudden episode made the other five Shichibukai present, except Mihawk and Shichibukai who was also numb, move their eyes tacitly and keep the same rhythm. They looked at Hancock and then at Akira.
"Ahem..."
Realizing that the atmosphere had become a little subtle, Akira broke the sudden silence with two dry coughs, and said slowly, "I believe you all know what happened between Marine Headquarters and Holy Land and my identity through the news and newspapers, but I still feel it is necessary to introduce myself!"
"My name is Akira, now Marine Headquarters Marshal."
"Because a very pleasant agreement has been reached with Holy Land, Seven Warlords of the Sea system will be transferred from World Government to Marine Headquarters from the date of the agreement's effectiveness."
"This also means that from now on, you will all obey my orders!"
