"Hello, everyone. I'm Leo.
"I'm sure you already know where we're going today.
"I'm sure you already know that Vice Admiral Ace's wife and child have been rescued.
"But we will still advance toward Marine Headquarters, Marineford—the place where the finest of the world's navy is gathered.
"This may get many people killed, but I have still made this decision and steeled myself for it.
"Because two comrades from the Revolutionary Army who replaced Iska and Ivankov are still there.
"Because the navy that dared use our wives and children to threaten us is still there.
"Because the lackeys of those rotten, foolish, incompetent World Nobles, who live to exploit the entire world, are still there!
"Now is the time. The time to end their muddleheaded rule. The time to end this world's suffering!
"I hereby order it! The Revolutionary Army's war against the navy has officially begun!
"Everyone! Today is a fine day to die!"
Leo rose from his chair, raised his right hand, and pounded his chest. "I will die alongside you."
Everyone was instantly invigorated.
Clearly, as the widely known Commander of the Revolutionary Army who could not even truss a chicken, Leo's combat power was practically negligible.
Because of the system he had established, the Revolutionary Army's fighting and command structure did not require his involvement at all. He did not need to command anyone for the entire Revolutionary Army to function.
He could have stayed safely in the rear and watched their battle through the live broadcast, yet he had still come to the front lines with them in his frail body.
Just as he had said, he had come today simply to sit here and watch them fight.
If they won, he would live.
If they lost, he would die with them.
Nothing more.
