Chapter 146: Get Up, Slaves

[One newspaper bird after another, after a day's flight, has distributed most of the World Economic News newspapers. ]

[Whitebeard and Roger, because they are located in remote waters, got this newspaper relatively late. ]

["I didn't expect that the revolutionary army would actually make such a big noise again." On the Marine warship, Sengoku put down the newspaper in his hand with a headache: "Didn't they say they wouldn't make any big noise again in the next few years?" ]

[" Freed the slaves from sabaody, they are really brave."]

["But since the headquarters didn't recall us, they should have enough ability to handle it." Kizaru said standing aside. ]

["No, I still have to ask." Sengoku has been frowning since he read the newspaper. ]

[He put down the newspaper and dialed the headquarters phone number. ]

[After a moment, he hung up the phone. ]

["Zephyr went to the land of Sabaody." Sengoku said. ]

["Teacher Zephyr, then there is no problem." Kizaru tilted his lips and said in a frivolous tone: "Although Teacher Zephyr has always been at odds with me, his strength is enough to solve this incident."]

["Maybe." Sengoku was noncommittal. ]

[He and Roja have fought against each other and had a private communication. He is relatively familiar with the methods of this young revolutionary army leader. ]

[This man who can defeat him in terms of intelligence has a certain degree of certainty in everything he does. Many things that seem crazy are actually under his control. ]

[There was such a big commotion this time that even the World Economic News newspaper was controlled by him. He issued this statement to emancipate the slaves. It was basically a declaration of war with the World government, and he declared war on such a close island. ]

[Sengoku really doesn't think he has the backup plan to deal with it. ]

[Can Zephyr really defeat this revolutionary army? Is the headquarters too optimistic? ]

[Sengoku really has no confidence in his heart. Even the legendary pirate groups led by legendary pirates such as Roger and Whitebeard did not give him this feeling. However, facing the revolutionary army, Sengoku always felt that this organization was very evil. ]

[He is not the kind of organization that can be viewed based on its strength on paper. This is an organization that has faced Marine three times and won three times since its establishment. Its strategic layout ability is extremely terrifying. ]

["Apply to the headquarters to return to Marineford. We will rush back to Marineford early tomorrow morning." Sengoku paced on the bow of the warship for a long time and finally said to Kizaru. ]

[This decision surprised even Kizaru. ]

["Aren't you going to continue chasing the Whitebeard Pirates?"]

["There is no point in continuing to chase. Our power in the New World is already weak. We alone cannot arrest the Whitebeard Pirates. We might as well return home. I always feel that something is not right." Sengoku's eyes were extremely serious. . ]

["Understood, Mr. Sengoku." Kizaru naturally couldn't say that he had to fight the Whitebeard Pirates, so he responded. ]

[After a while, they also received permission from the headquarters. ]

[Have a rest tonight, go to the New World G1 branch early tomorrow morning, and then log in to Mary Geoise from Red Port. ]

[With permission, Sengoku also breathed a sigh of relief. ]

[After relaxing, he suddenly felt that he was a little too nervous. ]

[There is Zephyr in Sabaody, and the headquarters is still free. With the little power of the Revolutionary Army, it is impossible to say that it will cause too much noise. ]

[But it's good to go back and take a rest. The Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates have separated. Basically, the goal this time has been achieved. ]

[Meanwhile, Sabaody Archipelago. ]

[On the Marine warship, Zephyr is standing on the bow, leaning on the railing, holding a bottle of sherry in his hand, but it has not been opened. ]

["Teacher Zephyr, why do we have to guard other mangrove areas? The revolutionary army should be in the mangrove area where the original slave trading market is located." ]

[Duke asked with some confusion. ]

[Although Duke was severely injured by the cadres of the Revolutionary Army during the day, because he is a Zoan fruit user and has a very strong physique, he has basically recovered his ability to move now. ]

[What he didn't understand was why the teacher didn't launch a counterattack against the revolutionary army. ]

[ Zephyr did not look back or answer Duke's question directly, but asked. ]

["Duke, I remember you graduated from the recruiting class six years ago."]

["Yes, Teacher Zephyr." Duke said respectfully: "Without your original teaching, I would not have achieved what I have achieved now."]

["Actually, apart from Borsalino and Sakazuki, I had the deepest impression of you at that time. You said you wanted to be a Marine Admiral, to clear away the darkness in this world and uphold justice in this world. "Zephyr said with a smile. ]

["You were the only one who could shout out the ideal of justice at that time."]

["I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly, teacher." Duke scratched his head in embarrassment. When he first joined Marine, he was still an out-and-out passionate young man. ]

["However, you have now become a Vice Admiral from a recruit. You should know very well that the darkness in this world can never be driven away. The pirates are raging, the power and corruption of the nobles, and the Celestial Dragons' wanton behavior." Zephyr's voice was deep. ]

["We Marines can still fight effectively against pirates, but we are deeply powerless when facing other darkness." Zephyr said solemnly: "Let me teach you one last lesson. "]

["At all times, we must keep in mind the justice in our hearts. Even if Marine's justice is constrained by power, we must still enforce justice as much as possible." ]

[Duke felt that Mr. Zephyr seemed a little drunk, even though he was not drinking. He said too many things that a Marine Admiral should not say. ]

["Are you doing it for those slaves?" Duke thought for a moment and said suddenly: "The revolutionary army is transferring those slaves? Do you want them to completely transfer all the slaves before taking action?" ]

[ Zephyr did not speak, but smiled and waved his hand, indicating that Duke could leave and leave him alone for a while. ]

[Duke left. He originally thought the teacher was a little strange today, but if it was to save those slaves, everything made sense. ]

[Duke never thought of telling this to the headquarters. He has a righteous heart and respects Zephyr, so it is naturally impossible for him to do something behind the scenes. ]

["If it were me before, I might do this, but now, I have to do it more thoroughly." Zephyr pursed his lips and looked at the sea. ]

[Suddenly, he shook the wine bottle in his hand, and a low voice sounded on the deck. ]

["The sea is watching, the beginning of this world."]

["The sea also knows the end of this world."]

["So the direction he induced is the way forward."]

["So what he leads is the correct world."]

[ "Sea guide." Duke, who was about to enter the cabin, paused and looked back at Zephyr. ]

[The moonlight shines on the deck and on the body of this Marine veteran, who looks extremely lonely. ]

[This song is Mr. Zephyr's favorite song. It is a song sung within the Marine Corps for those Marine soldiers who died in battle. ]

[Ever since the tragedy happened six years ago, Mr. Zephyr seems to have regarded himself as one of the Marines who died in the war. His song is often filled with old age and is sung for himself. ]

[I just don't know why, Duke, who is not good at music, seems to hear something different from the teacher's singing. ]

[It seems less depressing and more like a farewell? ]

[Duke shook his head, turned around and walked into the cabin. ]

["Don't be timid, my friends are waiting too."]

[After singing the last line, Zephyr was silent for a long time, then smiled with relief, opened the bottle of sherry in his hand, took a sip, and then poured all the wine into the sea. ]

["Goodbye, Marine."]

[Sabaody island No. 1 Slave Market, basically all the rescued slaves have gathered here. ]

[In the huge central square, all the cages that originally imprisoned slaves were cleared. For the first time, the slaves discovered that this square was so spacious. ]

[A bunch of bonfires were set up in this square, burning the place brightly and warmly. ]

[The chefs of the revolutionary army made delicious food from the ingredients and distributed them to every slave. ]

[Doctor Kureha and Hiriluk, as well as some doctors brought from the drum Kingdom, and doctors and hygienists trained within the revolutionary army, are currently traveling among the slaves to treat their injuries. ]

[The soldiers of the revolutionary army and the slaves sat on the ground together. ]

[Brook's appearance caused quite a commotion, but after all, his skeleton appearance was too terrifying. ]

[But after a few funny words, it gradually subsided. ]

[Brook played the violin gracefully, and the melodious sound seemed to soothe the uneasiness in people's hearts. ]

[After eating the Revive-Revive Fruit, he seems to be able to penetrate deep into his soul and convey his emotions to the audience even when he plays. ]

[The singing was melodious one after another, and then gradually became louder and louder. Finally, Brook started singing directly. ]

["Rise up, hungry and cold slave. "]

["Arise, you suffering people all over the world!"]

["The blood in my heart is already boiling, and I must fight for the truth."]

["Slaves, get up, get up."]

["Don't say we have nothing, we want to be the masters of the world!"]

["There has never been a savior, nor a god-king."]

["To create human happiness, we all have to rely on ourselves."]

[…]

[Brook's singing voice is full of appeal, passionate and surging. ]

[He conveyed his emotions to everyone present. ]

[With the sound of getting up one after another, the revolutionary soldiers who were sitting cross-legged on the ground spontaneously stood up one by one. ]

[The song was catchy and they sang along. ]

[The high voices gathered into a torrent, a torrent full of faith. ]

[This belief is like a tolerant sea, integrating all the suffering slaves into it equally. ]

[Slaves stood up one by one and sang loudly, their voices hoarse, as if they wanted to vent all their emotions. ]

[As more and more people join in the chorus, their voices become louder and louder, and even the eyes of those numb slaves seem to have sparkle for the first time. ]

[ Roja is singing, Fujitora is singing, Dragon, Nagri, and Aokiji are all singing this song. ]

[Tiger's voice was high and Jinbe's voice was loud. Arlong didn't speak, he just pursed his lips and trembled slightly. ]

[The slaves are singing loudly. At this moment, they are free and equal. ]

[Everyone is equal at this moment. They seem to be able to feel each other's emotions, beliefs, ideals, and will. ]

[Everyone is heart-to-heart at this moment. ]

[Gathered into the most powerful force. ]

[The most closed slave market, the loudest voice sounded at this moment. The cage could not be closed, and the huge mangroves could not block it. The singing spread out of the No. 1 mangrove area. ]

[It sounded in the ears of the Marine soldiers who had sealed off this place. ]

[The sound comes like a tide, and every Marine soldier can hear this song, and hear the power and will contained in the people who sing this song. ]

[The guns in each soldier's hands lowered involuntarily. ]

[Some soldiers even couldn't help but sang along in a low voice. ]

[Among the lower-class Marine soldiers, which one is the child of a wealthy family, and which one is from a noble family?]

[They are not slaves, but aren't they people who suffer? Don't they have a heart that fights for justice? ]

["Oppressive alliances, World government, empty laws."]

["The nobles have no obligations, and the rights of the poor are just empty words."]

["Unite until tomorrow."]

["'Equality' will definitely be realized."]

[At first, the vice admirals were able to use their power to suppress them, but as more and more Marine soldiers sang in other areas, even these officers could not suppress them. The voice of the soldiers at the bottom. ]

[This is a mighty roar from the bottom, and any power will be completely shattered. ]
