Edward Weevil's identity completely ignited the sea.
Others were unclear.
They naturally took it seriously.
Infuriated, Whitebeard chugged several barrels of sake, but still couldn't quell the rage in his heart.
He wanted to explain to the outside world.
But there was no way to start.
Exposing it would only be more humiliating.
"Whoever helps me kill him will be my dearest son." Whitebeard looked at Diamond Jozu and the others, "It's not easy for me, this cheap old man, to act; you are my sons.
You help me."
...
On the warship.
Sengoku continuously took calls on the telephone transponder snail, understanding the reactions of various islands.
The reactions were intense.
The name of the Seven Warlords of the Sea had been thoroughly established.
"It's time for us to appear."
Sengoku straightened his uniform and walked with a steady pace.
The Fleet Admiral made his appearance.
The camera focused on Sengoku.
No introduction was needed.
The Fleet Admiral's identity was the highest status in the sea.
Sengoku domineeringly arrived at the main seat.
His gaze swept over the Seven Warlords of the Sea opposite him from a high vantage point, and he said in a superior tone, "From now on, remember your identities!"
The seven Shichibukai.
Their expressions varied, but no one refuted him.
Hiss.
Everyone gazed blankly at the domineering Sengoku.
He actually reprimanded the Shichibukai like that.
As expected of the Fleet Admiral, as expected of Sengoku.
In an instant, everyone realized that no matter how terrifying the Shichibukai were, the Marines were above them, and the World Government was even above them.
The World Government and the Marines elevated the Shichibukai to such a high position.
The ultimate beneficiaries were the Marines and the Government.
"It's not urgent to establish the Shichibukai yet."
Sengoku did not sit down and sign an agreement with the seven Shichibukai as everyone expected.
Instead, he walked along the conference table.
He strolled and arrived at a spot tens of meters beside the conference table.
He lowered his head and looked down.
A Marine followed behind him, holding a visual telephone transponder snail, and quickly filmed the slightly raised scorched earth beneath Sengoku's feet through the transparent ice surface.
"This is it; beneath my feet lies the remains of the heinous Kevin."
Sengoku stomped on the ice with his boot.
His calm words.
Immediately drew everyone's attention.
Everyone knew Kevin died on No. 1 Island, but No. 1 Island was several kilometers in diameter, so no one else knew exactly where he died.
"Is that raised ground beneath where Mr. Kevin's remains are?"
"Right below."
Many people looked at the screen with remembrance.
They sighed endlessly.
"Kevin did many things in the past, but in the end, he still died here, died at the hands of the Marines, and now he's right under my feet." Sengoku's mouth slowly curved upwards.
Those watching the screen.
Were silent.
"Does Sengoku have to go this far?" Whitebeard frowned, "He wasn't like this unforgiving character before. Kevin has been dead for a hundred days; does he still need to be brought out for a posthumous whipping?"
Red-Haired Shanks silently took a sip of sake.
Kaido of the Beasts, full of hostility, looked at the screen, at the high-spirited Sengoku.
The posture of a victor.
"Tell the sea, if Gion and the others are willing to voluntarily join the Beasts Pirates, I can help destroy the Sabaody Archipelago."
"Kevin, in many people's eyes, must be a hero."
As soon as these words were spoken,
The sea erupted in an uproar.
Although many common people did indeed think so, they dared not show it directly, as he was a pirate after all.
They could only think it in their hearts.
This sentence should not have come from the Fleet Admiral's mouth.
For a moment,
Everyone couldn't understand what Buddha Sengoku truly wanted to express.
Was it an admission of guilt, believing they had wrongly killed Kevin?
Wouldn't that be admitting that the World Government and the Navy were wrong, admitting that killing World Nobles, rescuing World Nobles' slaves, and destroying the World Government's Enies Lobby were all correct?
Unless the Navy betrayed the World Government, it was impossible.
"No, he is not worthy of being a hero; he is a betrayer, a narrow-minded villain."
"???"
Everyone was puzzled.
Slander?
Evidence.
"Kevin didn't just appear out of thin air; he was once a Navy!"
This once again shocked the world.
Kevin was once a member of the Navy Recruit Camp; this identity was completely covered up by the Navy, who were unwilling to expose it.
That was because Kevin was still alive.
Exposing it would make the Navy lose even more face.
But now Kevin was dead.
Buddha Sengoku had no other worries; he wanted to destroy the great memory of Kevin in everyone's hearts, to strike down Kevin's heroic image of resisting the World Government's tyranny, reducing him to merely a petty individual who harbored resentment towards the Navy and took the opportunity to seek revenge.
He wanted to completely destroy the influence Kevin once brought to the sea.
"Navy?"
They were all stunned.
Although Kevin had been dead for nearly a hundred days,
Everything about Kevin had always been the most curious and most watched hot topic on the sea.
From the day he invaded Holy Land Mary Geoise,
Until now,
Everything about Kevin had been a focus of everyone's attention.
One of the most curious points was Kevin's past identity.
Because on the sea, no one had ever heard of a person named Kevin; he simply appeared out of nowhere.
Yet, he accomplished unprecedented feats.
Within a year, he continuously created miracles, a legend like a shooting star.
"Navy? So Kevin was a Navy? Was he a genius secretly cultivated by the Navy?"
"Since Kevin was trained by the Navy, and the Navy is a branch of the World Government… it's the most important organization of the World Government, why would he oppose the World Government? What secrets are hidden within?"
"What exactly happened between Kevin and the Navy?"
Buddha Sengoku's single sentence
Instantly aroused everyone's curiosity, and various speculations surfaced in their minds.
Everyone held their breath, pricked up their ears,
Unwilling to miss a single word Buddha Sengoku would say next.
"Absolutely true, Kevin was once a Navy, a member of the Navy New Recruit Camp, and Admiral Zephyr was the instructor of the Navy Recruit Camp." Buddha Sengoku continued to speak amidst the gaze of thousands.
Just a few short sentences
Had captivated everyone.
"Kevin was a member of the Navy Recruit Camp, Admiral Zephyr was his teacher. A hundred days ago, Admiral Zephyr also participated in the battle to encircle and annihilate Kevin. Was this battle essentially a fight between a teacher and his student? And the student almost killed the teacher?"
Many people
Already had millions of words of a grand drama of grievances between teacher and student appearing in their minds.
"What exactly does Fleet Admiral Buddha Sengoku want to express?" Smoker, Hina, and other former classmates of Kevin who had already graduated
Looked at Buddha Sengoku, puzzled.
Kevin was indeed a member of the Navy Recruit Camp before, but strictly speaking, he wasn't considered a Navy.
Naturally, he wasn't truly a betrayer either.
Moreover, the Navy Recruit Camp expelled him; it was the Navy Recruit Camp that took money but didn't do their job. Not to mention what happened afterward, during his time in the Navy Recruit Camp, Kevin never wronged the Navy.
So Hina and the others were very confused.
Was it necessary to reveal these things?
It would still be our Navy that loses face.
For a moment, they couldn't fathom the intention of Fleet Admiral Buddha Sengoku, known as the "Wise General," in saying these things now.
"It can't be that he's fabricating things, can it?" Smoker shook his head; it was impossible to be that shameless.
Hina also shook her head: "Fleet Admiral Buddha Sengoku certainly wouldn't do such a thing."
