10 Despair

"Eradicating Pirates is Justice," Akainu replied as he stood up from his chair.

"Stopping pirates from harming civilians, looting, killing, enslaving civilians are crimes that we stop. We stop people like you." Sengoku replied.

He then raised his voice and said "we won't hesitate to give our life for Justice. We have already decided to die from the day we join the Marine Corps. We have decided to make this world better and more peaceful."

Hearing his inspiring words many soldiers regain their will.

'Yes, we join the Marines, knowing death may come at any time.'

'We live for Justice.'

"Stop the Pirates." One of the vice admirals took this chance and shouted.

"Hmm? Admirable, indeed. Pirates like us are the scum of society so they should be eradicated from the face of the world." Edward nodded and agreed with Sengoku and Akainu.

They look at him weirdly as if he just lost his mind. Akainu even has satisfaction mixed on his face.

"Pops, I got what you have asked for." Suddenly Jiru or Speed Jiru appears beside Whitebeard, holding a snail in his hand and a grin showing all of his teeth.

"Gurararara… good, son." Edward keeps a smile on his face and praises Jiru.

This sudden act didn't go unnoticed by Sengoku and others. Sengoku frowns and looks at the snail on Whitebeard's hand. He doesn't know what he will do with that. But he is sure that it is something bad for them.

Akainu punches his fist forward with that rain of lava fist starting to fall on the war ground. No matter what he can't let Whitebeard do as he pleases.

But his rain of lava didn't discriminate between friends or foes. It fell on whoever was in its range. And the most affected are the Marines as they are the most of the people on the ford.

Cry of Marine and a few Pirates echo in the ford. Most of the crew are low-ranking members of the crew but nonetheless they are his crew. Whitebeard's eyes darkened as he looked at Akainu. 'I will tear you limb by limb by myself.'

"Truly what a nice Marine. Sacrificing their own to kill some lowly pirates." Whitebeard commented and praised Akainu.

"Let me show the world a few more commendable acts of Marine." Whitebeard sneers and another projection screen comes just a little behind him on the wall of the ship.

Sengoku, Garp and Tsuru suddenly have a bad premonition. They wanted to stop him but it was too late to even think.

Marco sneers and remembers his father's plan before coming here. He was shocked but also excited about this.

This Marine has played good cards for long enough. It's time to shape them a little bit. But he was confused as to why their father would do that. He wasn't a person who gave a shit about others except for his family.

But then again he thought that it must be because of Ace. Marines tried to kill one of their brothers in front of the whole world. That is a big slap in his face. And with how proud their father is, he was really angry.

Soon video after the video plays on the screen. And all the 'good' work done by Marines comes to the surface.

Even Whitebeard himself was shocked and disgusted by them.

He was shocked that his sons collected so much evidence in such a short time. 'I really underestimated Whitebeard's connection all over the world.'

The more video games the more desperate Sengoku, Garp and Tsuru become. They can't just go and fight Whitebeard to stop the video. That will make it worse.

Of course, an organization can't always be perfect and good. As long as there's light there will be shadows. They can't destroy and clean these shadows completely.

Even if they stop, one another will appear. It's always been like this.

They just hope that Whitebeard didn't collect too many of these kinds of videos.

Well, they are correct. Whitebeard didn't have time to play all the videos. But, he selected all the special videos which will flash their reputation down the drain.

As the video went towards the end the sound of fighting also started to become less and less. All the Marines who saw the Justice they are fighting for started to doubt their belief for all these years.

Garp's face turns expressionless but inside his eyes, it's anger, pure anger. He looked at Sengoku.

Sengoku's face now looks like he has eaten the most smelly shit ever. His face is red from anger. He knows about this kind of act. But he didn't know that something so horrible was happening behind his back.

He now regrets letting loose some of the Marines.

If this was the case with Marines then what about the rest of the world?

The world is in complete silence. People look dead as they look at videos played by Whitebeard.

Some want to deny it. Some said it's fake. Some said it's a Whitebeard ploy. But deep down there is a voice telling them that it is not false.

Only despair is in their heart.

::::::::

Rape, murder, extortion, torture, bribe, blackmail, all kind of acts come to the surface. It wasn't any better than Pirates. No, some cruelty even surpasses Pirates.

At the least, they admit what they are doing, not like this white clothes guy who acts like saints but is filled with shit.

All the Marines look at Sengoku with hope. Hope that he will say it's not true. But they got their answer from his anger-filled face.

"Truly admirable. We, scum, truly can't hold a candle marines."Whitebeard laughed mockingly and added, "Killing a child for his father's sin is admirable."
