[A courtroom judgment from the start, a satisfying tale of winning hearts and minds, and restoring justice to the Marines]
At the hearing, Zephyr stormed the courtroom: “If you want to judge Ling Yuan, then judge me first!”
Half the Marines immediately stood up to protect their commander, refusing orders to arrest him. The Three Admirals switched sides.
A hundred thousand Marines voluntarily sealed off Marineford, and a mutiny wielding the hearts of the people as its blade swept through Headquarters.
With the tide against him, Sengoku stepped down of his own accord, and Ling Yuan took the position of Fleet Admiral.
On Marineford Square, the Three Admirals stood in formation with a hundred thousand Marines, the entire force at attention.
Sakazuki roared in a low voice: “All hands, salute the Fleet Admiral!”
“For justice!”
Amid the earth-shaking roar, Ling Yuan stepped forward, his gaze sweeping across the ranks.
“This glory has never belonged to me alone. It belongs to every Marine who has stayed true to their principles.”
“Our mission is to stamp out the corrupt influence of the powerful and uphold justice based on right and wrong, not status.”
“The age of the Celestial Dragons’ privilege above all others must come to an end. The pirates who plunder and slaughter will be purged. From this day on, the Marines will wield their swords only for the people, never serving as anyone’s lackeys. For pure justice!”
I have read the same book, the plot at the beginning is the same 🤦
