Stand Up! The Deafening Thunderclap!

"Buzz—"

An even more domineering and terrifying collision occurred again, accompanied by a series of deafening explosions.

The space around Orion visibly distorted, like ripples on a calm lake. Immediately after, Orion, holding the hilt of the sword, took a fierce step forward, his fingers gripping the hilt with renewed strength.

"Roger, you really are a troublesome guy!"

"Even after sixteen years, you're still causing trouble!"

"To think you stored such intense Conqueror's Haki in this sword!"

"But Ace is now a thing of the past!"

"It is now my Justice! The justice that reigns supreme!"

Before the words could fully settle, Orion raised his right hand holding the hilt to chest level. His left hand, infused with Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, swept up wind and lightning as it grasped the blade.

Then, like skewering a kebab, he swiftly and lightning-fast slid his hand along the blade toward the tip!

The moment Orion left hand reached the tip, the low-frequency vibrations in the space around him ceased abruptly. The violent and intense collision of Conqueror's Haki also came to an abrupt halt.

The invisible pressure that had enveloped the area dissipated silently, bringing a sense of relief to everyone standing a hundred meters outside the training field.

Many of them even collapsed to the ground, feeling as if a great weight had been lifted.

Mihawk, who had arrived first and relying on his immense strength had stubbornly refused to retreat further, was no exception.

As the mountain-like pressure pressing down on him vanished, he let out a long sigh of relief even feeling a strange sense of absurd reprieve.

But none of that mattered!

What mattered was that the pride in his heart had once again been shattered by Orion terrifying power.

Because he had clearly seen Orion use an overwhelmingly dominant and unreasonable method to forcibly straighten the blade of the supreme-grade sword, which had originally curved like a crescent moon.

Not only was Mihawk, the world greatest swordsman, shocked by Orion actions, but even Garp who had pushed Roger into desperate situations multiple times and had fought alongside him, was nearly dumbfounded when he saw Orion so brutally and simply alter the shape of Roger sword.

It would be no exaggeration to say that no one present understood Roger better than Garp, nor was there anyone who knew Roger strength more intimately.

Especially when it came to Roger sword, Garp had nearly been defeated by it on several occasions. Yet, this very sword, which had followed Roger across the seas and under Roger mastery, had defeated countless strong opponents, had now been subdued and tamed by Orion in such a crude, simple, and brutal manner.

Under the astonished gazes of Mihawk and Garp, Orion forcefully suppressed the Conqueror's Haki stored within the blade, straightened it using both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki and then suddenly turned around, swiftly scanning the officers of various ranks from the headquarters and the Shichibukai present on the training ground.

The next second, he raised the Supreme Grade Great Blade above his head and declared.

"This blade is one of the twelve Supreme Grade Great Blades that disappeared for sixteen years after Roger execution."

"What it was called before no longer matters. Its name now is—Justice!"

After a brief pause, Orion suddenly took a step forward. The tip of the sword pointed toward the soldiers and officers who had fainted from the earlier clash of Conqueror's Haki, and he shouted in a deep voice.

"All of you—"

"Stand up!!!"

As Orion voice rang out, a vast yet gentle wave of energy suddenly erupted, sweeping across the entire field like a spring breeze.

Immediately after, the officers and soldiers who had been knocked unconscious by the clash of Conqueror's Haki began to open their eyes.

When Orion shouted the words "Stand up," the officers and soldiers who had just regained consciousness, though unaware of what had happened, instinctively stood up straight and turned to face Orion, standing at attention.

Whether it was the officers and soldiers who had just awakened from unconsciousness or the commanders like Garp and Tsuru who had withstood the shockwave from the Conqueror's Haki clash, all eyes were now fixed on Orion.

Though everyone remained silent at this moment, their fervent gazes were filled with admiration, reverence, and loyalty.

Like a deafening thunderclap, it stirred a long-dormant surge of passion within the members of the Shichibukai.

... ...

Under the leadership of Admiral Kuzan, a fleet of warships entered the New World through the Holy Land, braving the torrential rain and surging waves as they sailed majestically into the port of the Navy G-1 Base in the New World.

The G-1, located near the Red Line, served as the World Government last line of defense, as most of the New World was under the control of the Four Emperors.

The responsibility for maintaining order and security here was immense and it was always overseen by a veteran Vice Admiral from the headquarters.

Unless the World government at the peak of the Red Line collapsed, even during major meetings at the Navy headquarters, the Vice Admiral and all officers stationed here would not leave.

Of course, the Navy presence in the New World wasn't limited to G-1. There was also the G-5, commanded by Vice Admiral Vergo, which was the closest to the territories of the Four Emperors.

In simple terms, the G-5 was the frontline fortress, while the G-1 was the final defensive line of the Red Line!

As for the Second, Third, and Fourth Branches, they had long since fallen into ruin under the relentless onslaught of pirates flooding into the New World during the years of territorial disputes among the Four Emperors.

In the pouring rain, the Vice Admiral in charge of G-1 led all the officers and soldiers of the base, clad in raincoats, standing in orderly formation at the port watching as the large warships slowly docked.

Soon, the lead warship came to a steady halt at the shore.

Kuzan, also wearing a raincoat and standing on the deck, didn't hesitate for a moment. He decisively leaped down and approached the commander of G-1.

"Attention!"

"Salute!"

The soldiers, standing in orderly rows amidst the heavy rain, raised their hands almost simultaneously at the command of the base commander, saluting Kuzan in unison and shouting.

"LOYALTY!"

"I have come under the secret orders of the Fleet Admiral."

"Therefore, I do not wish for news of my presence at the G-1 to leak out."

Kuzan stepped forward, mimicking Orion gesture by raising his hand to return the salute. Shedding his usual lethargic demeanor, he spoke with renewed vigor.

"From now on, all officers and soldiers of G-1 will rotate with the troops and officers I have brought."

"All officers and soldiers who are rotated out will be assigned to new positions. They must maintain 24-hour communication with the fleet led by Admiral Sakazuki, who is currently en route to Dressrosa. Additionally, all intelligence operatives on missions must closely monitor all movements in the New World."

"If any ships from the Big Mom Pirates or the Beast Pirates leave their usual territories, you must report to me immediately!"
