War, Finally Over

When they heard Red-Haired Shanks's request.

All the Marines present cried out in surprise and began discussing it cautiously.

Each held their own thoughts and opinions.

"No!"

"Whitebeard and Fire Fist Ace!"

"They are the glory our Marines won through this war!"

"How can you take them away just because you say so?"

Before Sengoku could respond to Red-Haired Shanks's request, Sakazuki was the first to voice his dissatisfaction.

However.

What he said was indeed true.

Whitebeard and Fire Fist Ace were indeed the honor of the Marines in this Summit War.

After all, this Summit War had been planned around Whitebeard and Fire Fist Ace. Although some farces had occurred along the way, Whitebeard and Fire Fist Ace had still died in Marineford, the headquarters of the Marines.

By convention, the Marines would certainly make a great spectacle of their bodies to publicize the Marines' victory.

"When Whitebeard and Fire Fist Ace died."

"You Marines had already broadcast it live to the entire world. Audiences everywhere know that Whitebeard and Fire Fist Ace are dead."

"Must they be denied even the chance to be buried in the end?"

Red-Haired Shanks rebuked them furiously.

At the same time, Red-Haired Shanks began to release a faint wave of Conqueror's Haki, looking as though he truly intended to confront Sakazuki head-on.

"Hmph!"

"Red-Haired Shanks!"

"Don't forget, you're only a pirate!"

"The fact that we haven't attacked a pirate who came here is already showing you respect!"

"What, do you really think you're someone important? Why should the Marines obey your orders?"

Sakazuki gave no quarter at all and snapped back directly.

At that moment.

The battlefield, where the war should have already ended, suddenly became thick with the smell of gunpowder again.

Just then.

Sengoku stepped forward and broke the awkward standoff!
