In front of the Marine headquarters building, at Bay Plaza, the warm sunshine enveloped the earth, but it didn't appear blazing.

In the huge square, as far as the eye can see, there was a crowd of people.

Aside from Marine soldiers in military uniforms, there were even ordinary people wearing plain clothes.

Outside the cordons of various magnificent military fortresses, under the guidance of the corresponding Marine soldiers, this group of civilians gathered around a huge stone monument standing majestically in the center of the square.

Most of these civilians were family members of Marines who died during the war.

The Marine Heroes Monument was officially completed yesterday. So today, they came to pay homage to those heroes who had passed away.

No one was talking loudly. Some people were mumbling to themselves, or some people were pointing to the stone tablet and whispering to the children next to them.

Everyone's face was serious and solemn.

A red warning line was also drawn around the stone monument. There was a soldier standing guard at each of the four corners.

They took turns changing shifts and never left, as if they were accompanying this stone monument.

The moving crowd came to a slow stop in front of this stone monument.

Law, in the crowd, slowly raised his head and looked at the huge monument in front of him.

The dark stone tablet was covered with densely packed names.

There were a lot of them, but they were arranged in an orderly manner and didn't look messy at all.

It was estimated that the tens of thousands of names didn't occupy the entire stele.

There was still a large blank area on the square stone tablet, nearly 100 meters high.

It seemed to be warning the world that victory had not yet come, the war was not over, and there might be more victims at any time.

A short message was engraved from top to bottom in the center of the stone tablet.

"The heroic spirit of Marine will live forever!"

I wonder if it was due to psychological factors that caused everyone to have misconceptions.

These words seemed to exude a faint smell of gunpowder smoke.

It felt like dreaming back to the battlefield in a hazy state!

"These are the words written by Sakazuki Fleet Admiral, who turned lava into a pen and carried it with his own hands!"

Law suddenly heard a man who looked like a Marine officer next to him whisper.

No wonder there was the unique sulfur smell of magma.

The Marine officer next to Law glanced at him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the military uniform held in Law's hand.

He stopped talking and took a step forward to walk out of the crowd.

The two soldiers stationed in front of the stone monument immediately saluted solemnly.

"Lieutenant General Doberman!"

Doberman nodded and returned a standard military salute.

Then he walked towards the huge base under the stone monument.

He saw several large characters engraved on the base.

"Marine Heroes Monument!"

The front of the pedestal was filled with flowers.

Yellow and white chrysanthemums were neatly arranged together.

There was a particularly conspicuous bunch of blood-red roses in the middle.

They seemed very fresh, as if they had just been picked, and still contained the morning dew.

Swaying in the wind among the flowers, they were extremely charming.

Doberman took out a bouquet of white chrysanthemums from the inner pocket of his Marine coat.

He gently placed it in front of the base and bowed deeply three times.

Then he raised his head again and stared at the stone tablet for a few seconds, before stepping away from the crowd and walking towards the headquarters building.

When the surrounding civilians saw Doberman leaving, they placed the flowers in their hands in front of the pedestal under the guidance of the soldiers.

Everyone bowed and then stared at the stone tablet silently.

A solemn atmosphere permeated the crowd.

The horn of justice seemed to be floating in the air.

Only Law stood there blankly, without any movement.

This dark monument started from the first line to the last line.

Countless names carried the souls of countless Marine heroes.

History would never forget their greatness!

Law stared blankly at the name Donquixote Rosinante in one line of the stone tablet.

Corazon's voice and smile appeared in his mind again.

"Go ahead, Law... go to a distant place, there will be nothing binding you anymore!"

Law hugged the old military uniform tightly with both hands, his eyes red again.

...

On the high platform of the headquarters building, Sakazuki walked out of the office and quietly looked at Law among the crowd in the square.

Seeing the tenacity and determination in his eyes, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Uncle Sakazuki, Uncle Doberman is here!"

Hearing Hibari's report indoors, Sakazuki withdrew his gaze and turned back to the office.

Doberman, who had just sat down on the sofa and chatted enthusiastically with Hibari, immediately stood up.

He gave a military salute to Sakazuki solemnly, and at the same time, a loud voice sounded.

"Sakazuki Fleet Admiral!!!"

Sakazuki glanced at the scar-faced lieutenant general with squinted eyes.

The lieutenant general's eyes were full of stars, and his admiration almost overflowed. He casually waved his hand, telling him to sit down.

"Doberman, I just saw you going to the monument to send flowers!"

Sakazuki asked as he walked back to his seat.

"Yes! Sakazuki Fleet Admiral, there are several old friends of mine among them."

"Although they are not from the same faction as us, they still sacrificed their lives for justice!"

The war at the top not only sacrificed many school-level officers but also several lieutenant generals.

Even though there were many Marine senior officials present at the time, Sakazuki was the only one who really contributed.

While dealing with Whitebeard, he could only do his best to protect the generals of the hawks. It is impossible to take care of all the generals.

This is also the reason why Sakazuki dislikes the Marines.

As the Marine Fleet Admiral at the time, he had been watching the show.

Don't say anything. Fleet Admiral must maintain military morale and cannot go into battle easily.

Whitebeard and his old men dragged their sick bodies to the battlefield, while you, the Marines, were still on the execution platform.

Isn't this a waste of time for the Marine soldiers who are desperately trying to kill the enemy?

As for the "Marine hero" Garp, he probably wished Marine would lose more troops so that the Whitebeard Pirates could rescue Ace.

All the military attachés in the audience actually acted on the occasion, causing the mainstay of Lieutenant General Marine to lose several positions.

It has to be said that the superstructure determines the fate of the middle class.

Sakazuki still hasn't figured it out.

How could such a cowardly, compromising, and peace-seeking Fleet Admiral be so domineering as a Conqueror's?

How did you shout the slogan "Justice reigns in the world"?

This world is unreasonable!

So it was up to Sakazuki himself to solve the problem from the source.

Kick out the people who caused the problem first.

Then mentally rearm all Marines.

"Sakazuki Fleet Admiral, I didn't expect you to go earlier than me! I saw that bunch of red roses that stood out from the crowd!"

Doberman continued, with warm admiration in his tone.

It turns out that before dawn in the morning, Sakazuki went to pay homage to his fallen comrades!
