When Sakazuki heard Doberman mention that he went to the monument to pay his respects, he just nodded slightly. He didn't dwell on the issue.
"Doberman, I have sent Onigumo to guard the islands of Sabaody."
"You also know that the islands of Sabaody are located next the center of justice in the world."
"Not only are there countless pirates wandering around there all year round, but they are also conducting extremely evil slave trading transactions openly. How ridiculous!"
"This is not something that absolute justice can allow to exist!"
Doberman immediately understood what Sakazuki meant.
He stood up and shouted angrily:
"As for Onigumo going to the Sabaody Islands later, I think we can arrange for our people to completely wipe out the pirates on those islands."
"Then, the matter of slave trading is authorized by the Celestial Dragons, but... it may be..."
Doberman's voice gradually became quieter, and his eyes towards Sakazuki became hesitant, at the same time, he felt a little uneasy.
When he faced Whitebeard and Shanks, he never felt this nervous.
For a long time, he saw that Sakazuki remained silent and just stared at him expressionlessly.
An inexplicable look flashed in Doberman's eyes, and he asked hesitantly:
"Or...?"
Doberman raised his right hand, turned his palm into a knife, and placed it on his neck, making a gesture.
Coupled with his face covered with scars, this action looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.
Sakazuki nodded slightly.
As expected of his die-hard fan, he is very wise!
Doberman naturally caught the recognition in Sakazuki's eyes, and all the tension disappeared.
He just felt his heart burning—this is absolute justice!
"Doberman, it's up to you to assist Onigumo in handling this matter."
"After all, those pig minions are protected by CP0. It may not be easy for Onigumo to handle this alone."
"In addition, I will ask Magellan to release a few pirates who have a deep hatred for the Celestial Dragons from Impel Down. You can go and connect with them secretly. I don't need to tell you how to deal with the conflicting relationship between them, right?"
Doberman immediately nodded heavily upon hearing this.
He originally had 1,000 soldiers under his command, and after Sakazuki became Fleet Admiral, he evenly distributed the 3,000 soldiers he led when he was a general among Doberman, Onigumo, and Stainless.
Now he has 2,000 soldiers, which is enough for him and Onigumo to cause a bloody storm on the Sabaody Islands.
"Remember to cripple them first, don't kill them too quickly. They can still be of some use."
Sakazuki didn't want those scum to die immediately, but he had a complete plan in mind.
After sending Doberman away, Sakazuki called Magellan and asked him to select some suitable pirates from the prison.
...
Time passed quietly.
One week later, in the second half of the Grand Line – the New World.
"Big news!"
"The captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, Shanks, had his leg broken by Marine during the previous battle on the Sabaody Islands. Now only he and the vice-captain, Ben Beckman, are left in the entire pirate group!"
Finally, a brave pirate group discovered this incident while challenging the Red-Haired Pirate Group and began spreading the word in the New World waters.
However, they all agreed that the Red-Haired Shanks had his legs broken by Marine Fleet Admiral Sakazuki on the Sabaody Islands.
"Really!? Doesn't Red-Haired Shanks only have one leg and one arm left? Can he still sit on the throne of the Four Emperors like this?"
The big man who spread the news suddenly looked at the person who asked the question with contempt.
"You underestimate the Red-Haired Shanks too much. I heard that even with a broken leg, he didn't lose much strength. He still wiped out all the invading pirate groups with force!"
"If you ask me, even if both of Red Hair's legs are broken, as long as he still has one hand that can swing a sword, he will always be one of the Four Emperors."
"Don't forget his terrifying swordsmanship that can rival the world's greatest swordsman Hawkeye, and his top-notch Conqueror's Haki!"
"Besides, look at Golden Lion who lost both his legs!"
Uh! The person who raised the question couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"You think too highly of Red Hair, right? Golden Lion, with a broken leg, doesn't know where he is now!"
The strong man seemed to vaguely hear the questioning voice and asked loudly, "What did you say?"
"It's nothing, Marines are too powerful! The world recruitment hasn't even started yet, but they already have such a powerful fighting force!"
"No more talking, I have to prepare for the recruitment assessment next month. I think I see hope of victory!"
Some civilians were excited to hear the news. They immediately expressed their intention to join Marine and join the fight to exterminate pirates.
But some people were cautious.
"Don't be too optimistic. Blackbeard has completely taken over the former territory of the Whitebeard Pirates and has now firmly established himself as one of the new Four Emperors."
"The Big Mom Pirates, Beast Pirates, Red-Haired Pirates, and Blackbeard Pirates—the new Four Emperors pattern has been formed. If they join forces, Marine may not be able to compete!"
However, the other party didn't care and was still enthusiastic.
"I believe that the new Sakazuki Fleet Admiral will lead Marine to completely eliminate pirates around the world!"
Wherever the news reached, similar scenes were unfolding.
It could be predicted that this recruitment would be incredibly popular, and Marine would experience an unprecedented surge in military strength.
This is exactly what Sakazuki wants to see.
When the people have faith and the Marines have power, the world will have hope!
If the Marine's military power becomes stronger than ever and there are enough Marines, Sakazuki will continue to expand Marine branches worldwide.
At that point, the work of Marine branches will be divided into administrative and military duties, working together.
On one hand, they will actively crack down on criminals and maintain peace and stability.
On the other hand, they will conduct widespread faith education to improve people's ideological awareness.
This is a huge project.
It can be said that it's walking on thin ice to carry out such work under the watchful eyes of a behemoth like the World Government.
A single mistake could drag the Marines into an abyss.
But this is the only way to liberate people around the world.
It would never be possible to achieve this just by relying on the petty actions of the revolutionary army led by Monkey D. Dragon.
First, they must destroy the Four Emperors and most of the pirates.
When he leads a group of Marines with an absolute belief in justice to rise up, the faith of the entire world will gather in the center of justice in the world – Marineford.
That will be a huge source of strength for him to defeat the Five Elders.
Absolute justice will prevail!
Sakazuki, who is far away in the Fleet Admiral's office at Marine Headquarters, seems to feel the gradually restored trust of people around the world in the Marines, and their firm belief that Marine will triumph.
Sakazuki ignored the shining tattoo on his chest, raised his head slightly, and looked out the glass door.
The sun hung high in the sky, so bright.
Such a pity!
The sun's rays can only warm the human body.
The light of justice will warm people's hearts.
"If the people lose their spiritual freedom and equality, no matter how hot the sun shines, it will only shine in vain on the cold world, and people will remain cold-hearted!"
When Hibari, who was standing by, heard Sakazuki's murmur, he also turned his gaze to the fiery red sun in the sky and nodded in understanding.
