"Vice Admiral, sir, we're sailing with the current. The Gate of Justice leading to Marineford is just ahead."
A Marine with resolute eyes and an upright bearing strode over to Wor Mantun,
reporting to him with a measure of reverence and excitement in his voice.
Hearing this, Wor Mantun slowly set down the sword he had polished to a brilliant shine and strode onto the deck.
His gaze was deep as he stared at the towering Gate of Justice on the distant horizon. Countless thoughts filled his mind as he murmured to himself:
"Mr. Lamplight, I will do everything in my power to let true justice cleanse the Marines,
and guide more of my fellow Marines who hold justice in their hearts to find their way forward again!"
The ship sped toward the Gate of Justice like an arrow loosed from a bow.
The Marine soldiers on the Gate of Justice watched the approaching vessel warily. Picking up a megaphone, one shouted:
"Ship ahead, stop immediately! Beyond this gate lies a vital passage to Marine Headquarters!"
Wor Mantun remained composed as he loudly announced his identity to those above.
With that, he pushed lightly off with both feet and used Geppo, leaping into the control room atop the gate like a bolt of black lightning.
The veteran in the control room heard the sound and turned around.
He looked Wor Mantun up and down, frowning slightly as he struggled to remember.
A moment later, a glimmer of recognition crossed his eyes. He finally remembered this Marine Vice Admiral who had suddenly disappeared years ago.
After receiving permission, the veteran promptly contacted the liaison at headquarters.
Following careful verification by Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru, Wor Mantun and his men were finally cleared to pass.
The ship continued onward
