The banquet ended in a toast.
The Marines of Fortress G-3, morale was rekindled.
Yes, they are Marines. They will always be Marines. As Marines, they have to do their duty as Marines.
After eating and drinking, everyone began to do their own things.
In the kitchen, the stove was burning and a pot was boiling.
Pheasant was cutting vegetables and studying new dishes. From time to time, she stared at the pot and then looked at the big bow hanging on the wall with a smile.
… .
In an open space near the sea, Donald waved the cross-shaped gun again and again. Every shot seemed to be extremely upright and he had stabbed countless times.
According to Vice-Admiral Kuro, he would stab with all his might until he comprehended the level of 'Force'.
Buzz!
He thrust out his spear and the tip of the spear broke through the air with a sharp whistle. He did not wipe the sweat on his face and breathed heavily. He stared at the waves of the sea and murmured:
"Next time, I won't be like this."
Although it was a good fight with Bessy, Donald also felt ashamed.
After all, he saw a ship sink with his own eyes. He should have won faster against pirates!
… .
"Ah…"
Moore yawned in bed, rubbed his eyes, and went back to closing them.
But after a while, he got up again, scratched his head, and said in distress, "Forget it, let's go and practice. I don't have enough stamina, but I can't be a good messenger."
… .
On the training ground, Kaz and Wilbur stood side by side, watching Marines train.
"Not enough, it's still not enough! Hurry up and practice. In order not to repeat the previous humiliation, we have to train faster and better. We have to think of ways to make ourselves stronger!" Kaz shouted.
"That's right, Mr. Kuro once said that you should sweat more and bleed less during the war! It means that you should do more training and work hard to become stronger so that you won't bleed in real battles!"
Wilbur also shouted, "Mr. Kuro also said that even if you look at a woman a hundred times, that woman will not be yours, but if you do a hundred exercises, your physique will become stronger, and your strength will be yours! What does this mean? This means that hard work is useful, and you can see that you will become stronger!"
"Well said, Wilbur, it should be like this!" Kaz looked over with emotion. "You have studied the 'Quotations of Justice' more deeply than me. If you have any new insights in the future, please tell me!"
"No, no, no, Cass, your execution of Mr. Kuro's justice is faster than mine. In the future, if there is anything about the physical action of justice, please bring me with you!"
"Wilbur!"
"Kaz!"
The two of them held each other tightly and said in unison: "All for justice! All for Mr. Kuro!!"

Grr—
In the laboratory, Fanny held up a medicine bottle with green bubbles and nodded thoughtfully.
"So that's how it is. Adding germs will have such an effect… At the end of the day, germs also have beneficial components. Stripping this point and using it on medicine will do, but it still needs to be tested, and I am now an epidemic patient. Any disease is ineffective for me, and I can do more experiments that I didn't dare to do before."
As she spoke, she excitedly added a few city-level potions, making the green bubbles in the medicine bottle appear more intense.
Faintly, Fanny's excited laughter could be heard in the laboratory.
… .
Everyone is training, and so are Ian and Bintz. As long as they are subordinates or direct subordinates recruited by Kuro himself, they are all touched by the scene that happened before. They need to become stronger. In order to stand firm in the New World, they need to become stronger.
So did Basil.
"Mr. Crowe!"
In a dojo, Basil looked at Crowe excitedly. "I can finally fight you again!"
"Yes?"
Crowe raised his eyebrows. Wasn't this man often beaten by him? How could he be called 'finally'?
He doesn't understand Basil's excitement any more than Mr. Kellow understands his bitterness …
"Forget it, come on."
Crowe narrowed his eyes and directly transformed into his human-beast form, his claws stained with Haki.
"Eh?"
The excited Basil was stunned and stammered, "Do, do you need to transform? And use Haki…"
"Of course, you are also a metahuman. Of course I have to use my ability to deal with metahumans. Besides, you can be domineering, right? This is special training, not specifically to beat you up. It is different."
Crowe stepped forward. "I will take it seriously."
"Don't, don't… Wait, what are you doing, don't come over!!!"
… .
Dressrosa.
At this moment, in front of the completed palace, teams of soldiers stood straight and formed rows, ready for battle.
On the balcony of the tall building in the palace, a handsome face wearing streamlined armor and no helmet looked down at the soldiers below.
"Do we really have to do this?"
Behind him, Viola, who was married, walked over with her hands clasped and said worriedly, "It will cause a dispute."
"This is Master's will."
David said without looking back, "Master wants world peace. I can't guarantee it now, but I can start from the local part."
There was also a booklet in his hand. He raised it and opened it. "Master once said that if peace is sought, peace will be lost. If peace is sought through struggle, peace will exist."
"This is the quote given to me by Colonel Wilbur. Open it every day and think about it carefully. You can find that many things are the truth, and many words also represent his long-cherished wish."
"Master wants world peace. As his knight, of course I will satisfy his wish. But world peace is too difficult. I can only take it step by step. What I need for the time being is to fight for partial peace for Master."
He waved and said, "Have you got the map and intelligence?"
"Yes."
A servant came over, bowed and handed over a map with both hands.
David picked up the map and said, "There are also many countries in the sea near G-3. It doesn't matter whether it is a World Government country or not. I have already issued a notice to submit to me or die. Dressrosa needs a large territory to contribute to world peace."
"If we do this, then at the World Conference…" Viola said worriedly.
"Then before the World Conference!"
David said, "Before the World Conference, let those countries surrender and I will go to the World Conference in person. In this way, when the World Conference is held, the World Government will not say anything. Absolute power will bring absolute power. As long as the country is strong, the World Conference will also be my home ground!"
With that, he clenched the map tightly and said as if he was swearing, "Everything is for Master's long-cherished wish!"
