"What is faith? What meaning does it hold?"
"Faith is born in the human heart and dies in human nature."
"What makes our Marine soldiers cast aside life and death to fight pirates?"
"Perhaps many soldiers don't really understand."
"They only have a vague concept."
"And what is that vague concept?"
"It is the desire to let people around the world sleep peacefully at night without fear."
"An army with unwavering faith can be invincible, unstoppable in battle..."
"What is my justice?"
"In the past, when new recruits joined the Marines, the first lesson instructors taught was to follow their own sense of justice."
"Every soldier grows up in a different environment."
"The first step should be instilling the correct values."
"Then, guide the soldiers to understand what justice truly is."
"Without proper guidance, many soldiers' sense of justice ends up distorted."
"Like Lazy Justice, Humane Justice, Ambiguous Justice, Dark Justice... and Absolute Justice."
"And to truly understand what real justice is, one must first understand why we fight."
"It is to protect the future of innocent civilians, even if our limbs are broken."
Morris flipped through the booklet in his hands, growing more and more stunned.
It felt like a sudden epiphany, his blood surging, his entire soul trembling.
He couldn't even form a full sentence for a moment.
Every word in the booklet struck deep into his soul, leaving his mind blank.
There were no earth-shattering secrets in the booklet—just concise definitions of faith and justice from various perspectives.
Sakazuki stood up and walked over to Morris.
"Morris, Vice Admiral, consider this a gift to commemorate your appointment as instructor."
"For the future of the Marines."
Morris stood up, straightened his uniform, and wanted to express something but didn't know how.
"This gift is too heavy."
"Thank you, Sakazuki."
He bowed deeply to Sakazuki.
"No need for words, Vice Admiral Morris."
"Everything is for the future of the Marines."
"One day, Marine justice will cover the ends of the world."
Sakazuki interrupted Morris, who was still at a loss for how to repay him.
"That's right. One day..."
Hearing Sakazuki's words, as if envisioning that scene already, Morris gently stroked the booklet in his hands and muttered softly.
Early the next morning, the port of Marineford gradually grew busy.
Supplies were being loaded one by one into the ship's storage.
The warship weighed anchor.
Sakazuki stood on the second-floor deck, looking down at the officers and soldiers lined up below.
His gaze swept over the group as the adjutant began the roll call.
"Reporting to Vice Admiral Sakazuki, roll call complete. All present and accounted for. Please give the order!"
