Self-Discipline! Have You Seen Marineford at Four o’clock in the Morning?

The Naval Headquarters campus, an empty space with no people.

Bright and warm sunlight fell from the sky and swayed on the two of them.

The cloak on his back was hunting in the wind,

Aokiji and Roy stood against the wind.

Aokiji looked at Roy, who was wearing the Vice Admiral cape in front of him, and couldn't help feeling secretly in his heart.

He still remembered the scene of "spying" Roy from a distance with Gion outside the door of the military academy's dormitory late at night.

It’s been less than half a year now,

The immature boy in front of him has completely grown into a man who can talk to him face to face.

The world is unpredictable........

but,

Thinking of the scene where Ohara Saul died in front of him with a smile in his mind, Aokiji couldn't help being silent.

The two did not speak for a while.

After a while........

"Kuzan Admiral, congratulations."

Roy broke the silence and spoke actively.

Aokiji is not a person who likes small talk. This guy has always been alone. Since he found himself, there must be a very important thing.

Aokiji smiled disapprovingly.

"Congratulations too."

He deserves his name as Admiral. With his exploits and strength, promotion to Admiral is due, but it is only a matter of time.

Only because Sengoku has been in Admiral's position before, there are only two vacant Admiral positions. It is difficult for the head of the department to pick two out of the three of Akainu Kizaru Aokiji, so it has been delayed.

The outbreak of the Ohara incident allowed Sengoku to show his decisiveness and determination to maintain the government's rule in front of the World government, so he was promoted to Marshal Marine.

Thus,

Aokiji and the three of them were able to become Admiral one by one.

Roy heard Aokiji's congratulations and smiled:

"I didn't do much this time."

Aokiji was silent, looking at Roy with cold eyes.

"── Saul, I will kill for you."

The sudden words made Roy's pupils suddenly tighten.

He only felt a piercing chill from the bottom of his feet, and then ran up his brain along the spine.

Even the warm sunlight in the sky above could not dispel the strange chill.

"you do not need to worry."

"I am not going to report you, Roy."

Kuzan wearing round sunglasses can't see the change in his eyes, and his voice reveals an indescribable calm and indifference.

Roy tried his best to keep his expression calm and whispered:

"So what do you mean?"

Kuzan didn't speak for a while, but turned his head slowly, his eyes drifting to the distant sky blankly.

He saw the sea,

Saw the sky,

Finally, his eyes focused on the two huge black characters on the central military fortress of the headquarters.

The two heavy words "Dragon and Phoenix Dance" and "Suicide"...

─Justice.

"To be honest, Roy, it's not just you. Over the years, including me, countless Marines have been trying to figure out what those two words mean."

Aokiji spoke up.

"We Marine, since we joined the army on the first day, we chanted this vague slogan."

"For justice..."

"Some people are just accustomed, some just follow the crowd, some people disagree, and some people really want to abide by this belief."

"Perhaps for Mr. Garp, Teacher Zephyr and the old Marines of their generation, their justice was almost complete from the moment Roger was executed."

"But in this age of great pirates, what will justice be for us?"

Kuzan changed his head, took off his sunglasses, and stared at Roy sternly.

"I used to follow Teacher Zephyr and Mr. Garp, but that is not my justice, I am still looking for..."

"Saul found it."

"Although he died in my hands, he has no regrets."

"He put the last hope and justice in his heart into your hands."

Roy was stunned.

Saul........

Kuzan smiled.

"Don't feel burdened, because the real burden is not this."

"Perhaps someday in the future, a little girl destined to be burdened with sin will come to you."

"At that time, your choice will truly reflect your inner justice."

"That's why I didn't report you."

"Saul uses the cause planted by his own life, what kind of fruit will grow into you in the end..."

"The answer to this question is very important to me."

Roy clenched his fists subconsciously.

Nico Robin, the name flashed through his mind.

Kuzan said solemnly:

"The little girl's information has already been handed over to the headquarters. It is impossible to hide this matter."

""Son of the Devil" Nico Robin, this is her name."

"Roy, what you have to understand is that I am helping you, not because of you."

"It's just because of my many years of friendship with Saul."

"It's also because I want to find the answer to that question."

Kuzan squinted his eyes and turned around.

"Work hard, no matter how you want to give me this answer, with your current strength, it is far from enough..."
