"Wow, so this is the real story! Big news, big news!" The reporters, after Li Ang's speech and Zhan Guo's response, suddenly perked up. Their backs and legs no longer ached; a naval admiral and a revolutionary army chief of staff arguing over "justice"—this was definitely big news!

Many onlookers stopped in their tracks, thinking that while a fight was uninteresting, an argument was at least something to watch.

It must be admitted that when it comes to dealing with pirates, the Navy has indeed made the greatest contribution, but that doesn't mean there aren't others doing the work.

"Hehehe." Facing Sengoku's offensive, Li Ang calmly responded, "Then I'd like to ask you, where were your Marines when my Revolutionary Army was fighting the pirates?"

Answering the question with a question: The Revolutionary Army isn't around when the Navy is fighting pirates, so if they did encounter each other, they'd probably fight, and vice versa. Li Ang cleverly resolved the issue with this one sentence, demonstrating that he was also fighting pirates.

"This..." Sengoku hadn't expected Li Ang to be so eloquent, and was momentarily speechless. "I've always heard that the Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff is not only incredibly intelligent but also sharp-tongued. Today I've finally seen it for myself. However, when it comes to fighting pirates, you're no match for our navy, and you can't carry the banner of justice."

"Oh? Since my revolutionary army can't be considered righteous, then I'd like to ask, what can be called righteous?"

Sengoku thought to himself, "You've come to the right person. When it comes to justice, no one knows better than me, the Fleet Admiral. Perfect, this is also an opportunity to promote the navy to the world."

Thinking of this, Sengoku casually shook the cloak on his shoulder. At this moment, most of the video Den Den Mushi were facing Li Ang, which meant they were also facing Sengoku's back, so the word "Justice" could be clearly seen on his back.

"Since I joined the Navy more than forty years ago, I have experienced the era of Rocks, the era of Roger, and now the era of the Four Emperors. Pirates are rampant and the world is in chaos. People all over the world live under the threat and shadow of pirates."

Our navy, first with the hero Garp defeating Rocks, then capturing Roger, and now the so-called Four Emperors are completely suppressed by us, only able to roam freely in the New World.

And you, Li Ang, clearly possess immense talent, and could have easily joined the navy, yet why did you choose to side with the rebels? You exacerbate the chaos of the world, adding another layer of gloom to everyone's lives, forcing them to contend not only with the threat of pirates but also with the threat of rebel attacks. Why insist on acting against the will of heaven and against the will of humanity?

My navy now boasts a million soldiers and thousands of capable generals. It would be better if your rebel army didn't come; if it did, it would be like the firefly glowing on rotten grass, how could it compare to the bright moon in the sky?

Only a navy as powerful as ours can uphold justice, and only we have the capability to do so!

After the Warring States period finished speaking, many naval soldiers shouted "Justice!" at the same time. Their momentum soared into the sky, as if the sky itself was about to be torn open.

After all, it was their home ground, and they had a whole group of cheerleaders behind them, unlike Li Ang, who was fighting alone.

However, Li Ang remained completely unfazed, smiling as he waited for the cheers to subside before launching his counterattack.

Hehehehe...

I had assumed that as a Fleet Admiral, you would have some profound insights when you stepped forward to face the world and your many naval officers and men. Instead, you uttered such vulgar language!

I have something to say, please listen carefully.

In the past, Rocks and Roger roamed the world, bringing chaos and turmoil to nations and regions. After Roger, Kaido, Big Mom, and others rose to power, dominating their respective territories and slaughtering countless lives.

However, these are not causes, but effects. You only see the imagination, not the essence. And the major reason for this situation is:

On this sacred ground, rotten wood holds official positions; between the palace steps, beasts reign supreme!

As a result, treacherous and wicked people are rampant in the court, and sycophants are in power!

As a result, the world fell into an abyss, and all living beings suffered greatly!

It's conceivable that if everyone in the world had enough to eat, warm clothes to wear, and lived in peace and prosperity, with a stable and happy nation, how could pirates run rampant?!

Before Sengoku could react, the CP0 member who had been standing to the side couldn't hold back any longer. It was precisely because he was a high-ranking member of the World Government and had been exposed to these things that he knew clearly that what Leon said was true.

Therefore, Li Ang couldn't be allowed to continue. The World Government's image was currently maintained solely by the pirates; if the blame for the pirates' appearance were also placed on the World Government, the consequences would be unimaginable. He immediately rushed forward, shouting, "Nonsense! This is a madman, spouting nonsense! Justice is on the World Government's side! Execute him immediately! Sengoku, give the order! An emergency has arisen; we have the right to make adjustments!"

Emma, ​​seeing this person appear, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh at how terrible a terrible teammate is. Just now, he couldn't find anyone to criticize, but now the person to criticize has delivered himself to his doorstep.

Seeing that the Warring States was about to order the execution, Li Ang quickly said:

"Haha, judging from your attire and the tone of your voice, you must be from Cipher Pol, a secret agency of the World Government. Perfect, we were just talking about pirates earlier, so I wonder what Cipher Pol does in dealing with them."

I am well aware of Cipher Pol's situation.

Cipher Pol, as the World Government's intelligence agency and secret spy organization, is selected from among the people of Kombat through rigorous processes. Their duty is to fight to eradicate pirates and bring peace and tranquility to the people.

But instead, you aided the thieves and attacked the people. The recent events in Water Seven were all your doing. Your crimes are heinous and unforgivable!

After being berated, he pointed a trembling finger at Li Ang and said, "You...you...you dare..."

Li Ang didn't want to listen to him at all and continued to shout angrily, "Shut up!"

You shameless old scoundrel! Don't you know that everyone in the world would love to devour your flesh? How dare you utter such nonsense here!

As a sycophant, you can only hide your head and cower, barely surviving. How dare you claim to be righteous before the world! Whether it's my revolutionary army or the navy, who is righteous? It's not your place to be righteous.

You've accomplished nothing in your life, serving as a lackey of the world government and exploiting your fellow villagers. If you were to go to the afterlife, would you have the face to meet your elders, your fellow villagers, and those who gave you life and raised you?

"A broken-backed dog still dares to bark and howl before the world."

"me……"

Li Ang concluded, "I have never seen such a shameless person!"

"Pfft!" As Li Ang finished speaking, the person from CP0 also spat out a mouthful of blood and sat down on the ground with a thud.

Seeing that he still had the strength to breathe, Li Ang sighed inwardly. It was unlikely he could verbally kill him; after all, the extent of the impact depended on the man's moral standards and his shamelessness.

If someone is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing, and completely disregards the world's perception, then they pose no threat whatsoever. This is why Li Ang allowed him to be publicly criticized by the entire world, yet he only managed to spit out a mouthful of blood.

At this point, Zhan Guo no longer hesitated. Li Ang's words were so sharp they could make someone vomit blood. It seemed he couldn't defeat him in a magical duel, so he ordered the execution ahead of schedule: "Go!"

"That's exactly what you're planning!" Li Ang quickly shouted. "Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Then Garp gripped the two spears behind him, preventing them from advancing any further.

Chapter 380 The Greatest Speech

"What are you doing!" Sengoku and the others were also somewhat incredulous at what they saw.

"I promised him I would let him finish his last words, and besides, this isn't against the rules, is it?" Garp said truthfully.

What kind of rules are you setting? Even Garp sometimes follows the rules?

Li Ang smiled and said, "Are you really that afraid of me? Aren't you afraid that the world will know that the so-called navy is actually terrified of Li Ang, and even though Li Ang is already on the execution platform, they don't dare to let him finish his last words?"

Sengoku knew that if his old friend agreed to something, he would do everything in his power to fulfill it, and there would be no turning back. Roger had been able to escape twice back then precisely because of this. Besides, Capu was discerning and wouldn't promise anything immoral or unethical.

At this moment, the CP0 member who was sitting on the ground also caught his breath and shouted, "Do you want to betray the World Government, Garp?"

"Do you want to give it a try?!" Garp said nonchalantly.

After saying that, the man immediately fell silent. Garp meant what he said; if pushed too far, he might very well leave the Navy. And given Garp's reputation, it's likely more than one person would leave then.

Sigh, it can only be said that bullying the weak and fearing the strong is a characteristic of all World Government agents. As soon as Garp speaks, he doesn't dare to say a word.

Sengoku gritted his teeth: "Garp, you'd better explain to me why this happened. Hmph, let him finish. I want to hear what else he has to say."

"How can this be!"

The World Government bullies the weak and fears the strong, but the Navy won't. Just as Sengoku was about to cancel his previous order and maintain the status quo, Akainu stepped forward.

Previously, it was like gods fighting, and even these three admirals couldn't get a word in edgewise. Now, Akainu understands that he can't stay silent.

"How can we allow him to continue spreading rumors and misleading the public? This dangerous individual must be eliminated as soon as possible."

Well, since Akainu has spoken, the other two admirals can no longer sit idly by. Aokiji said it was fine and he should continue, while Kizaru said he didn't care and was fine with whatever arrangement.

Ah, these kinds of complicated situations happen all the time. Akainu and Aokiji have opposing views, as does Kizaru. Then Sengoku decides to uphold the original decision.

However, Akainu was not happy. He glared at Li Ang's position and secretly made up his mind that he must become the next Fleet Admiral, otherwise he would get really angry if things continued like this.

Li Ang didn't care. None of that mattered to him now. He had just argued with the two of them and only had ten minutes left to live. In those ten minutes, he had to finish the second half of his last words. If the two of them hadn't interrupted him, he would have finished by now.

Li Ang took a deep breath, composed himself, and said, "I can foresee that among those listening to me today, there are many who are well-off and have comfortable lives."

But more often than not, I think it's not like that. You may have endured immense suffering and torture; you may have just emerged from a cramped prison cell; you may have sought freedom, only to be battered by brutal persecution in your place of residence, and teetering on the brink of guard brutality. You are long-term victims of man-made suffering. Hold on, and firmly believe that this undeserved suffering is not eternal. We must know in our hearts that this situation can and will change.

Let us not succumb to despair. Friends, today I tell you that even at this very moment, despite the various difficulties and setbacks we face, I still have a dream, a dream deeply rooted in the dreams of everyone.

He looked at the surrounding Den Den Mushi (snail communication devices), and at all the Navy personnel present:

"I have a dream. I have a dream that one day the world will stand up and realize the true meaning of the people's belief: 'We hold that truth is self-evident and that all men are created equal.'"

I dream that one day, on the islands of Sabaody, the sons of former slaves will be able to sit together with the sons of former slave owners and share brotherly affection.

I have a dream that one day even Mary Geoise, a place where justice is nowhere to be found, where oppression is rampant, and where there is no desert, will become an oasis of freedom and justice.

We envision a day when our children will live in a country where they are judged not by their birth, but by the quality of their character.

Today, I have another dream. I dream that one day, valleys will rise up and mountains will descend; rugged paths will become smooth roads, and holy light will be revealed and fill the world with light.

Upon hearing Li Ang's words about his dream, the navy personnel present were momentarily stunned!

When it was broadcast, people all over the world who watched this scene were stunned!

Some people were thrilled, while others felt like they were about to vomit blood.

"The Holy Land Mary Geoise? Justice has vanished? Oppression is rampant?" The people of the World Government couldn't help but think, "Holy crap, you... wait, something doesn't seem wrong. Isn't this something the whole world knows?"

Honestly, everyone in the world knows this, but why does it feel different when you say it? Every word you say is the absolute truth, and you're talking about positive dreams, yet it manages to overturn everyone's worldview.

Not only were the World Government officials puzzled, but the Navy, which had always touted itself as a champion of justice, was even more perplexed.

Sengoku, Garp, the three admirals, and even the other marines who heard these words couldn't help but ponder: "Why is that? Is someone with such a dream, someone who can say such things, really just a simple traitor or rebel?"

Why, despite being adversaries, can't help but believe his words? Why believe his dream will one day come true? Even…

I even feel like cheering him on!

Are we really wrong? Are the revolutionaries the only ones righteous? Is what Le Ang said right? Otherwise, why would we subconsciously agree with these words?

Just as the navy men were contemplating life, and even the two naval soldiers behind Li Ang who were about to be executed were lost in thought, the CP0 members finally couldn't sit still any longer. If you won't do it, I will.

A man rushed forward in two quick steps, leaped high in front of the execution platform, and slashed at Li Ang with his sword.

"Oh, no!"

Many viewers exclaimed in surprise at this scene. Li Ang had left a deep and admirable impression on everyone through these few words.

However, perhaps it was fate that granted the will of the people, for just as the CP0 member swung his blade, a pair of iron fists slammed him down. With a "bang," he was smashed into the floor tiles.

"Well done! No wonder he's a hero like Garp!" Even journalists who usually uphold impartiality and even tend to favor the World Government were excited at this moment, applauding Garp's actions.

If Li Ang saw this scene, he would probably laugh with satisfaction. All his efforts, even at the cost of his life, were worthwhile in successfully spreading the seeds all over the world.

Whether Li Ang laughed or not, the revolutionary army's intelligence agents hidden in the crowd did laugh, covering their mouths to avoid disturbing others, while simultaneously bursting into tears.

Sengoku didn't say anything about the CP0 member being knocked down by Garp's two punches, because at that moment he even had a slight impulse to do the same. He simply ordered two Marines to drag the unconscious person out of the pit and take him away.

Seeing this, Li Ang knew that the plan was more than half successful. He continued loudly, "This is our hope."

With this belief, I joined the revolutionary army. With this belief, we will be able to carve a stone of hope out of the mountain of despair. With this belief, we can transform the harsh arguing of people into a beautiful symphony filled with brotherhood.

With this belief, we will be able to work together, pray together, fight together, go to jail together, even die together, and defend freedom together. Because we know that one day, we will be free.

If this world is to last, then this dream must be realized!
