As soon as the warship docked, Noah who had been imposing just a second ago, quickly turned around and stood at attention, facing the warship.
Not only that, but every other Marine in the square, whether officers or soldiers, also turned to face the warship at that mont.
They looked as if they were seeing their God, their expressions filled with fervor and excitent.
The Mysterious Four of the Thriller Bark Pirates, the commanders of Baroque Works and the mbers of the Donquixote Family also tensed up at this mont, all raising their heads to look at the warship.
"The Fleet Admiral of Marines!"
"Finally, we see him in person!"
Among the Donquixote Family, one of the four highest executives, Diamante, codenad "Diamond," took a step forward.
Looking at the young figure standing on the warship's deck, draped in the Fleet Admiral coat, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Truly extraordinary presence."
"Young Master, I see the Young Master~"
As soon as Diamante finished speaking, a maid-dressed girl imdiately stepped forward from the group, excitedly saying.
"The Young Master is fine, that's great!"
"Baby-5, step back!" Diamante glanced at the girl and then added.
"Don't forget, this is Marine Headquarters!"
Among the Baroque Works mbers, Nico Robin also focused her gaze on the young Fleet Admiral.
She could have left Baroque Works when Crocodile bowed to the Fleet Admiral during the live broadcast, but after learning about this new Fleet Admiral, who had risen to power through a coup, through various news outlets and her own channels, she chose to stay and observe.
She even took the risk to follow the Marine Vice Admiral to headquarters when he appeared in Alabasta.
For her, whether it was joining one pirate crew after another to evade the World Governnt pursuit or eventually forming a partnership with Crocodile and joining Baroque Works, it had always been a gamble!
Since it was all a gamble, she might as well go all in and place her bet on this iron-willed Fleet Admiral, who had forced the World Governnt to sign the Mary Geoise Treaty.
Similarly, Perona was also observing the Fleet Admiral on the warship from a distance, her eyes filled with curiosity.
On the deck of the warship, Orion glanced at the crowd standing in the square before decisively turning his gaze away and descending the deck, with Ain following closely behind.
"What's the current situation in the New World?"
As soon as he stepped into the square, Orion got straight to the point and asked Ain beside him.
"Has there been any new intelligence?"
"Yes!" Ain nodded, keeping pace with Orion as she spoke.
"Admiral Sakazuki fleet clashed with the Beasts Pirates in a naval battle. Since Kaido didn't appear and due to the sudden onset of severe weather, the Beasts Pirates were completely suppressed by Admiral Sakazuki. Half an hour ago, news ca in that the Beasts Pirates are in full retreat and Admiral Sakazuki is leading the fleet in pursuit!"
"The situation in Whole Cake Island is simpler. Admiral Kuzan froze the sea around the island, trapping all of Big Mom pirate ships in the harbor. Charlotte Linlin has also gone into a frenzy after reading the letter Fleet Admiral wrote to her and is now indiscriminately attacking mbers of the Charlotte family and their allied forces in the harbor!"
Hearing this, Orion lips curved into a faint smile.
When Sakazuki and Kuzan left headquarters for the New World, he had given each of them a piece of paper to carry.
The one Kuzan took not only contained Orion Conqueror's Haki but also a highly provocative ssage, intended to test whether it could trigger Charlotte Linlin hunger pangs.
Once Linlin hunger pangs were triggered, Kuzan task would beco much easier.
In her frenzied state, Linlin would indiscriminately destroy everything in her path, even mbers of her own family.
Originally, Orion had only intended to give it a try, but the results were surprisingly effective.
"Fleet Admiral!"
At that mont, Noah approached.
Orion nodded, his gaze sweeping over the three groups standing in formation, the Donquixote Family, Baroque Works, and the three subordinates of Moria.
He asked in confusion "Noah, why have you gathered them all here?"
"To welco the Fleet Admiral, of course!" Noah raised his head proudly.
"They must have the opportunity to witness the Fleet Admiral presence firsthand!"
Hearing this, Orion shook his head with a smile, then turned to look at Crocodile, Doflamingo, and Moria, who had followed him.
"You're all dismissed for half a day. Starting tomorrow, you and your subordinates will participate in ideological reform!"
After a brief pause, Orion shifted his gaze to Nico Robin, who stood at the front of the Baroque Works group and said calmly.
"Nico Robin, co with ."
Without further delay, Orion strode toward the headquarters building.
Robin was clearly caught off guard when Orion called her na and her reaction was slightly delayed, montarily forgetting to follow.
Seeing this, Ain imdiately reminded her.
"Nico Robin?"
Prompted by Ain, Robin quickly regained her composure, stepped out of the formation and followed behind Ain.
Orion walked away decisively and in no ti, he, along with Ain and Nico Robin, entered the headquarters office building, leaving the crowd in the square staring at each other in bewildernt.
Especially the mbers of the Donquixote family, they had expected that Marshal Orion, like Rear Admiral Noah, would reprimand them.
Even if he didn't reprimand them, they thought he would impose so restrictions or set rules for them to follow.
However, the result was that Orion rely glanced at them from start to finish, as if they didn't exist at all. But on second thought, their existence was indeed sowhat insignificant to the Fleet Admiral of the Marines.
"What are you all standing around for?" Doflamingo, with his hands in his pockets and his body slightly hunched, approached the Donquixote family without any unnecessary words.
He simply said "Follow !"
After speaking, Doflamingo turned and walked toward the direction of the dormitory building.
Diamante was the first to react. He quickly caught up to Doflamingo and asked in a low voice.
"Doffy, what do we do next? Are we really staying at the Marine Headquarters?"
The other executives of the Donquixote family, who were following closely behind, also quickened their pace to walk alongside Doflamingo, all looking up at him.
Doflamingo nodded "Starting tomorrow, you'll all join in ideological reform. Tell the other mbers of the family that from now on, there is no 'Young Master' at the headquarters, only Doflamingo!"
At this point, Doflamingo suddenly stopped and turned his head to look in the direction of the headquarters building.
A glimr of anticipation flashed in his eyes behind his sunglasses.
"Fleet Admiral Orion said he would take to the Holy Land!"
