"No... please don't!!!"
Hearing that he was going to be thrown into the sea to soak overnight, Buggy in the cage immediately burst into tears. But due to the suppression of the seastone handcuffs, his attempts to struggle were futile.
He could only look at Orion with terrified, helpless eyes and stammer.
"Fleet Admiral, I... even if I was once an apprentice of the Roger Pirates, I don't deserve to die. I was just an apprentice..."
"So, just a cabin boy?" Orion turned and walked to his desk, rummaging through a pile of documents before pulling out the file on the Buggy Pirates.
He spoke unhurriedly "The Buggy Pirates, led by Captain Buggy the Clown, with a bounty of 15 million Berries."
"Since its establishment and growth in the East Blue, the Buggy Pirates have repeatedly invaded towns, causing numerous civilian casualties. Captain Buggy takes pleasure in tormenting the weak, and many civilians have been tortured to death by him. His crew members, Mohji and Cabaji, are also extremely vicious pirates..."
At this point, Orion tossed the file in front of Buggy and said coldly.
"Buggy, the reason you're being captured isn't because you were once a cabin boy on the Roger Pirates, but because of your personal actions. Putting aside everything else, just the fact that you've killed civilians is enough to seal your fate in my eyes."
"I can tolerate those who compete with other pirate forces at sea, but I will never tolerate those who slaughter and plunder innocent civilians!"
Without giving Buggy a chance to argue, Orion decisively waved his hand and said.
As he watched Binz carry the cage out of the office, Doflamingo, who was sitting beside Crocodile, inexplicably felt a tightness in his chest.
Although Orion hadn't shown any particularly domineering behavior during this time, when he heard Orion utter the words 'killing civilians,' he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Crocodile also felt a sense of unease!
He was already preparing for his "Utopia Plan" intending to use the civilians of Alabasta to achieve his ultimate goal.
Fortunately, it was still in the planning stages. If he had already started, he probably wouldn't have the chance to be sitting here now.
"Let's go, everyone~" After watching Binz take Buggy away, Orion turned his head to look at the Shichibukai sitting on the sofa.
"It's still early. Come with me to enjoy the delicacies of Loguetown."
Compared to Buggy, who was thrown into the sea by Binz filled with fear and despair, Morgan, who was about to follow the Fleet Admiral to headquarters after handing over his duties to his adjutant, was extremely excited.
As soon as the handover was complete, he eagerly left the base with seven of his loyal subordinates and headed straight for Loguetown.
"Captain Morgan, don't forget about us when you're at headquarters!"
"What are you talking about? Do you think Morgan is that kind of person? Over the past three years, he hasn't kept a single penny of the funds sent from headquarters for himself—he's shared it all with us!"
"In short, as long as Captain Morgan doesn't mind, we'll follow you for life!"
In the lively bar, the seven officers from the 153rd Branch who had come with Morgan sat in the central booth, all thrilled that Morgan was about to follow the Fleet Admiral to headquarters.
Since they were out for drinks and the Fleet Admiral was in Loguetown, they didn't dare wear their uniforms and instead dressed in casual clothes, sitting around Morgan.
Morgan, of course, was no exception.
In high spirits from the good news, he wore a suit and the smile on his face was impossible to suppress.
However, when he heard one of the officers say they would follow him for life, his smile suddenly froze.
He turned his head and said solemnly...
"Don't talk nonsense. You're not following me—you're following the Fleet Admiral!"
"The Fleet Admiral is too far above us!"
The officer blinked, not hiding his jealousy towards Morgan at all.
"If the Fleet Admiral had chosen me back then, it would be me going to headquarters now, not you!"
"Haha, you're just jealous!" Morgan laughed heartily.
"Don't worry, I said I'd take all of you to headquarters, and I will! Come on, let's drink!"
After everyone raised their glasses and downed their drinks, another officer immediately leaned in close to Morgan, asking earnestly.
"Morgan, can you tell us brothers, what kind of person is the Fleet Admiral really is?"
"What kind of person is theFleet Admira?"
Morgan blinked, and the smile on his face vanished, replaced by a look of deep reverence.
"In my heart, the Fleet Admiral is a GOD!"
"Yes, if there is a god in this world, it must be the Fleet Admiral!"
"Let me tell you something!"
"When the Fleet Admiral first came to Branch 153, he already saw my future and knew what I would encounter. He gave me a warning back then."
"At first, I wasn't entirely convinced that someone could see so far into the future. But today, after taking down the Black Cat Pirates! You know what? When I saw the members of the Black Cat Pirates, the shock I felt was beyond words."
"Let me put it this way!"
At this point, Morgan grabbed the bottle of liquor from the coffee table and took a big swig, his eyes blazing with fervor.
"You don't understand the Fleet Admiral. You only think of him as the Fleet Admiral! But once you start to understand him, you'll be like me—worshiping him as a god."
The moment the word 'god' left Morgan lips, the previously lively bar suddenly fell silent.
Immediately after, a group of people stormed into the bar hall. Before anyone could react, a yellow-haired guy jumped onto a sofa and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Clear the place! Everyone, get the hell out! We're taking over this bar tonight!"
As soon as the yellow-haired guy finished speaking, many of the patrons in the booths quickly got up and scrambled toward the bar entrance like mice seeing a cat.
In no time, only Morgan group remained in the hall.
An officer sitting next to Morgan blinked in confusion, then suddenly widened his eyes in excitement.
Morgan didn't say a word, his gaze fixed intently ahead.
At the same time, a young man with a grass-green mohawk, hands in his pockets swaggered over to Morgan booth, surrounded by a group of delinquent youths.
Seeing this, the yellow-haired guy immediately jumped over, standing in front of Morgan and his group before the mohawk guy could, and snarled fiercely.
"Are you blind or deaf? Get the hell out of here now!"
Before Morgan could react, the officer sitting next to him abruptly stood up.
However, before he could shout the word 'death,' Morgan stopped him.
As he restrained the officer, Morgan slowly looked up.
The blond-haired guy seemed to hear something amusing as he turned sideways to face the spiky-haired youth, proudly declaring.
"Do you know who he is? He's the new underworld boss of Loguetown, Lord Bartolomeo! This bar you're standing in, and the street it's on... no, to be precise, the dozens of streets nearby, all belong to Lord Bartolomeo!"
At this point, the blond-haired guy suddenly leaned in close to Morgan, grinning with a bloodthirsty expression.
"Got it? If you understand, then get the hell out of here!"
Morgan nodded, then promptly stood up.
Under the watchful eyes of the arrogant gangsters, he calmly took off his jacket.
Seeing that Morgan was wearing a uniform under his jacket, the previously overbearing gangsters all widened their eyes in shock.
Before the gangsters could react, Morgan swiftly drew the axe from behind his back, his aura intensifying as he bellowed.
Seven officers who had followed Morgan stood up in unison, each one as excited as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
"Order all soldiers to immediately launch an anti-crime operation!"
"After tonight, I Captain Morgan will not allow any gangs to exist in Loguetown!"
