The execution was set for seven days later. It was bait, just like the Marineford War.
Rogge had never expected the World Government to contradict itself so blatantly. Earlier news reports had claimed Sabo had died in Mary Geoise, yet now he was to be executed at Marine Headquarters.
But the incident in Dressrosa had already cost the World Government some credibility. Even the appointment and dismissal of the Shichibukai had supposedly been reported incorrectly.
Yet Fujitora's kneeling apology had exposed everything that had happened in Dressrosa, sending the government's credibility crashing down. Now they were bringing Sabo back from the dead to execute him. They were making a mockery of their own credibility.
Naturally, Rogge would not let this opportunity slip away. His intelligence network and the newspapers under his control began a massive campaign to discredit the World Government.
First there had been the Dressrosa incident, and now there was the affair involving the Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff. The World Government was making fools of everyone, deceiving the entire world. There were plenty of other examples of its deception, too.
They even began questioning the World Government's very existence. There was no World Government at all; it was the Celestial Dragons who controlled the world.
There was not much difference, really. But if he could tarnish the World Government's reputation and plunge those troubled countries into even greater chaos, Rogge was happy to do it.
The World Government naturally knew what he was doing. Suddenly, the entire world was denouncing it. Those countries in turmoil had lost their kings. What the hell did their people know about the World Government?
They were pleased to learn that the Marines were still going to execute the Shichibukai and the Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff at a time like this.
