"I believe everyone knows why we have gathered here." Kuzan's voice echoed across the square.
"Sabo, Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, the World Government's foremost enemy. He is the undisputed second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army.
"Not only does he possess tremendous strength himself, but he also leads the Revolutionary Army in plotting subversion throughout the Pirate World.
"Many countries have suffered unrest, war, and even destruction as a result.
"He has thrown the entire world into turmoil, denying it peace.
"One could say that the Revolutionary Army is the greatest destabilizing force in this world.
"His death here will therefore carry great significance.
"By publicly executing him here, we will demonstrate our desire for peace, our determination to achieve it, and our commitment to upholding absolute justice.
"It will also serve as a stern warning to every force in the world that opposes the World Government."
As his words fell, all the Marines and World Government agents in the square became wildly fired up.
They kept chanting:
"Justice will prevail!"
"Justice will prevail!"
"Justice will prevail!"
Their powerful voices resounded throughout Brown Square and soared into the heavens.
Waves of dauntless resolve surged through every soldier's heart.
Yet at that very moment, Garp, Sengoku, and Staff Officer Tsuru were sitting on the deck of a warship off Klusimia Island.
"Well, this is a rare sight. Since when did that brat Kuzan get so good at putting words together?" Garp casually tossed a piece of senbei into his mouth, his voice filled with wonder.
As far as he remembered, Kuzan was a perpetually sleepy scatterbrain whose remarks never had a proper beginning or end.
He had never managed to deliver a complete sentence without stumbling.
Garp had never expected him to deliver such a speech onstage without stumbling once.
