"Of course~"
Before the Seven Warlords could react, Orion suddenly shifted his tone.
"The relationship between the Seven Warlords, the Navy, and the World Governnt has always been ambiguous. I don't like this way of interaction!"
"So next, I will reorganize the Seven Warlords. Those willing to accept the reorganization, I can overlook your past cris, but after the reorganization, you must shoulder the responsibilities you should bear, just like the Navy under the order of justice!"
"If you refuse to accept the reorganization, then I'm sorry, but you will not only be arrested imdiately, but Headquarters will also impose the death penalty based on your past cris. Given that most of you are Devil Fruit users, killing you would be troubleso. So, rest assured, until I find a way to transfer your Devil Fruit abilities, you won't die—you'll just live in agony."
As soon as Orion finished speaking, Doflamingo let out a low chuckle.
"Hmph~ You called this eting, pretending to discuss with us, but in reality, you never intended to let us leave alive, right? Fleet Admiral Orion!"
"You can interpret it that way!"
Orion nodded with a smile.
"So of you may have been forced onto the path of piracy, and so may have worn the pirate title without harming the innocent, but none of that matters. I am the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, and the flag flying above symbolizes justice and peace. Naturally, I won't associate with Criminals. A Criminal is a Criminal, and Criminals should be purged, eliminated!"
"So, I'm giving you a chance to turn over a new leaf!"
"Abandon the title of Seven Warlords, accept reformation to beco true Navy soldiers, and atone for the cris you've committed!"
At this point, Orion glanced at the ti.
"You don't need to respond now. The execution ti is approaching! I'm not an unreasonable person. Just give an answer before the execution ends!"
"Of course, you can also rise up and resist now—provided you're absolutely confident you can defeat the four Admirals beside and fight your way out of the encirclent of all the officers and soldiers at Headquarters!"
Hearing this, Jinbei who had been silent, suddenly stood up and said earnestly.
"Fleet Admiral Orion, is there no room for negotiation? Are we only left with the choice of either reforming into Navy soldiers or being eliminated?"
"Yes!" Orion raised his head slightly.
"To be honest, so of you have committed cris severe enough to warrant beheading and being left under the sun for ten days or half a month. Allowing you to reform is the greatest rcy I can offer!"
"Jinbei! I've heard many legends about you. Since you took over as the new captain of the Sun Pirates from the first captain, you haven't indiscriminately killed innocents. Instead, you've gained recognition from many powerful figures and earned the title of 'Knights of the sea' for your chivalrous deeds."
"And you seem to relish the honor that cos with the title of 'Knights of the sea.'"
"However, I don't believe you are a qualified Knights of the sea!"
"A true great Knight should don the epaulettes of justice to uphold peace under the order of justice, making it their mission to eradicate all evil, rather than fraternizing with a group of pirates, wallowing in self-indulgence amidst endless praises."
After a brief pause, Orion tone shifted.
"I know you beca a pirate either because of the oppression you faced in your holand or because of the corruption of the World Governnt and the tyranny of the privileged class that drove you to the seas."
"In the face of such a world, you were powerless before. But now, you have a choice."
"Because under my leadership, the Marines will no longer be controlled by the World Governnt. The Marines now only do three things."
"Justice, justice, and Fucking justice!"
"Even if the Celestial Dragons, who enjoy all privileges and call themselves descendants of gods, make mistakes, the Marines will arrest them and hand them over to the God's Knights for judgnt—those who deserve death will be executed, and those who deserve imprisonnt will be locked away!"
"As long as I am alive, I will never allow justice to be trampled by anyone or any privilege!"
"True justice should reign supre above all!"
After saying this in one breath, Orion shifted his gaze from Jinbei, sweeping over Hanafuda, Moria, Crocodile, and Doflamingo. His once gentle eyes suddenly turned sharp and domineering.
"I even dared to write the authority to arrest Celestial Dragons into the Mary Geoise Treaty, forcing the World Governnt to compromise. Isn't it a grace I bestow upon you scum to offer you a chance for reform?"
As Orion words fell, the entire Marineford Square fell silent once more. The sound of the Marine flags fluttering in the sea breeze was like a ticking countdown, echoing in the hearts of the Warlords.
The four Admirals standing on either side of Orion, whether it was Borsalino, who practiced ambiguous justice, or Kuzan, who practiced lazy justice, all had their eyes light up at this mont.
Sakazuki, needless to say, although he had long known that Orion summoning of the Warlords was a trap, he still underestimated Orion determination and courage, directly throwing the choice of life and death before the Warlords.
Of course, he didn't care about the Warlords' choices. What truly set his blood boiling was Orion statent, 'True justice should reign supre above all.'
"Not allowing anyone or any privilege to trample it, and reigning supre above all!"
In the silence, Sakazuki raised his head, revealing a pair of blazing eyes, fervently shouting in his heart.
'This is true justice, this is absolute justice!'
Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive after Orion words, Hancock, who had been obediently silent, suddenly looked up, her eyes sparkling with adoration as she gazed at Orion, blurting out without thinking.
"I am willing."
Hancock was certainly not acting without thought, rather she had conjured up countless scenarios in her mind based on Orion words. Especially when she heard Orion say, 'I even dared to write the authority to arrest Celestial Dragons into the Mary Geoise Treaty, forcing the World Governnt to compromise', she nearly fainted on the spot from the sudden surge of happiness.
With Orion words, not only would she willingly give up her status as one of the Seven Warlords, but if Orion were willing, she could marry him on the spot.
After all, this wasn't sothing abrupt for her, as she had already imagined not only marrying Orion but also giving birth to a chubby baby boy with him.
Hancock sudden remark slightly eased the previously tense atmosphere. Feeling the sudden burst of affection from Hancock, Orion couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
He truly couldn't understand why Hancock was so infatuated with him.
After all, in the past two days, he hadn't done anything special for her and had even stayed in his office to avoid her love-struck antics.
'Ah, this damn love-struck fools!'
After silently complaining in his heart, Orion responded with a smile.
"Got it. Let's keep quiet for now."
"Okay."
Hancock nodded happily and indeed stopped talking, quietly leaning back in her chair to continue her daydreaming.
At that mont, Ain, now dressed in a Vice admiral uniform with a long coat, strode briskly to the base of the high platform. Facing Orion, she raised her hand in a salute and said.
"Marshal—"
"The execution will begin in ten minutes. Shall we start the live broadcast now?"
