These words shocked everyone on the Battleship.
Unlike Sakasugi, Admiral Kim Jong-un has a comfortable way of speaking.
It's not that they don't want to go, but it's mainly because the front line is here and they can't leave. Since Admiral Kim Jong-un can understand them, he must be a good Marshal like Sengoku!
Headquarters.
Kuro held the microphone and continued, "The higher-ups recommended me to be a Marshal, and my colleagues also recommended me to be a Marshal. At this point, it can't be delayed. The higher-ups have given us time. Within a year, we have to destroy the pirates, suppress their arrogance, and end this so-called Pirate Era."
"It has been long enough… Since Roger began, the Great Age of Pirates has been maintained for nearly 30 years. It should have ended after Whitebeard's death, but it didn't. Even if I ended the other Yonkō (Four Emperors), it still didn't. However, the Age of Pirates has obviously begun to weaken. It's just one last step to catch those pirates closest to the so-called One Piece, and we can solve this so-called Age of Pirates."
Kuro clenched his fists and his voice gradually became louder. "Everyone! There are thousands of reasons to be a pirate, but there is only one reason to be a Marine, which is for the justice in your heart! There is only one goal, which is to deal with pirates! Maybe our races are different, our strength is strong and weak, and the countries we come from are hostile to each other, but this doesn't mean anything!"
"Today we are here, in Headquarters, in Battleship, fighting with pirates on the sea, then our position is the same, we only have one identity, that is Marine! Someone asked me what Marine's vision is, there is only one answer, maintain the peace of the sea, maintain the peace of the sea at all costs! Only when the sea is peaceful, the people will be at ease and our respective countries can develop, so… fight!"
"No matter what conditions, no matter where, no matter what situation, no matter whether we win or lose, we have to fight. If we don't win, our world will be constantly disturbed by those pirates with ulterior motives, and the sea will never be peaceful! It is because of the tenacious fighting of us Marines that those pirates will restrain themselves and not cause more serious damage to the sea. Because we are fighting, we are still fighting!"
"We fight in Marien Vando. Similarly, we will fight in our present headquarters! We will fight in any sea area! We will fight in any mudflats, we will fight in any place where the enemy lands, we will fight in any field, any street, we will fight in any hill, we will never surrender! Even if the sea falls to the enemy, people are enslaved and can't fight back, as long as our Marine still exists, we will still fight!"
Kuro's clenched fists danced in the air and he shouted:
"Fight, everyone, for our justice!!"
"For justice!!!"
The Marines below, as well as the Marines maintaining the battle lines everywhere, roared almost at the same time, shaking the surrounding air.
"Mr. Kuro said it so well!"
Among the Marines participating in the ceremony, a bearded man learned from Kuro above and clenched his fists, standing forward crazily.
As a direct descendant, Kaz and the others must have come to participate.
Although Den Den Mushi can also hear it, how can such an impassioned speech be compared to hearing it personally?
"We will fight anywhere. We don't have to be limited to one place!" Kaz's eyes seemed to flicker with fire.
Mr. Kuro's words gave him a new idea.
"Then…"
Den Den Mushi's loudspeaker continued, "I will take over the position of Marshal and start the decisive battle, swearing to solve this so-called Pirate Era!!"
Kim Jung, from Admiral to Marshal.
As Kuro officially took over, the news quickly spread across the sea.
This is not good news for pirates.
They had just been boosted by Sakasugi's defeat and thought that the Marines would stop a little, but then came a more ruthless attack.
Compared to Akainu, Jinchuan's achievements are the latest and more famous.
"Damn it, Kim Chuo became a Marshal?! Aokiji also came back? How can this be, in that case, the battle between Straw Hat and Blackbeard against Akainu is completely useless!"
Many pirates had such a reaction, especially those silver medalists who were paying attention to the world situation in the New World. They felt their scalps tingle.
It wasn't easy for Akainu to leave, and now there's Aokiji and a more difficult person to deal with as the Marshal?
Marine's heritage is really so overbearing.
The words of Marine's new Fleet Admiral Kuro spread from the newspaper to the sea, and many pirates also expressed concern about the so-called "Great Battle".
The final battle?
Isn't this a decisive battle?
Two new Yonkō (Four Emperors) Emperors fell on their side and a Marine Marshal stepped down.
What kind of decisive battle must be higher than now?
And how high would it go?
… .
Headquarters.
After the inauguration ceremony, Kuro asked the Marines who participated in the ceremony to go to Red Harbor to pick up the kings after the meeting.
As for himself, he was already at the highest point of the Tenshou Pavilion. Sakasugi's original office had been torn down and it had been briefly decorated for a temporary stay. The follow-up renovation was put at the back and temporarily used.
For Marine, who is in charge of logistics, this is good news. Finally, I don't have to change desks often…
"You seem to be doing well?"
In the office, Crane walked in and looked at Kuro, who was sitting there, and said with a smile, "You've adapted quite well."
"Don't tease me, Granny Crane."
Kuro shook his head and said, "I just don't think it's necessary to do it so well for the time being. This place may have to be rebuilt."
Crane walked to a chair and sat down, then looked at the plaque above Kuro's head.
Thorough justice has been replaced by the sign of Kuro—safe justice.
"Have you decided?" said Crane.
"Well…"
Kuro nodded and said, "The higher-ups want me to end the Pirate Era in a year. In a year, no matter what, Marines will have to deal with the Revolutionary Army, so there's no way to delay it now. We can only use some tricks to kill the main ones first, and then use the remaining time to force the pirates into a corner step by step."
"But we are maintaining the battle line now, I'm afraid we don't have enough troops to start the final battle…" Crane said with some difficulty.
Crane knew what Kuro was thinking.
The condition for the start of the decisive battle is to pluck the red hair of Impel Down to attract the attention of Straw Hat and force him to show up to start the main battlefield.
It was the same route as the previous Top Battle.
