Notable Quotes
"Everyone, no need to get excited. Defeating pirates is nothing. I simply want to tell you that the marines are the true overlords of the ocean, whether it's Whitebeard, Big Mom, or Kaido! They are merely pirates, and the marines are the natural nemeses of pirates. Therefore, we don't need to fear them! Instead, they are the ones who should fear us—fear justice!!!" 43
