Wilbur's lips curled into a smile. "That's right, Cass. Let's join hands again!"
Clang!
Cass drew his saber, pointed it at the sky, and wisps of white vapor burst from his body, like fog rising from the sea, quickly obscuring the four warships.
Four warships, three thousand men.
After learning that this so-called 'ideal land' was approaching, and that Kuzan was on the other side, unable to spare the pirate alliance, Cassius and his crew decisively left Wano Country.
The people brought down were the 'Douglag Naval Squadron' trained in Dressrosa. After so long of training, they had only been doing small-scale operations. Now, they could finally put them to the test!
"Everyone!!"
Cass's voice rang out through the fog, reaching the seemingly dull navy. The Douglas Navy squadron's ears twitched, and their expressions finally showed a change of humanity.
"The enemy is a pirate force that outnumbers us by a factor of two. We don't know their strength or their origins; everything about them is unknown. We might suffer casualties, we might even fail, but... are you afraid?!"
The entire Douglas Naval Squadron trembled. Whether inside the cabins or on the deck, everyone shouted in unison, "Don't be afraid!"
"That's right, don't be afraid! We are 'people' who will fight for a great cause all our lives! We are not puppets, not mindless artificial beings, our lives are meaningful! In the face of this meaningful cause, evil may break our bodies, but it can never break our hearts and our sense of justice!"
"The Four Emperors have been defeated, and the path to justice has taken a giant leap forward. On this path, we will not fall easily! For our safety to live in that world of hope, and for the freedom and security of people like us, my lords..."
Cass bared his teeth, a white mist enveloping him, making his face contort in a ferocious grimace...
...
"The lackeys are here!"
As the warship drew ever closer, veins bulged in his neck as Inlava roared, "They are the sinners who stand in our way of realizing our ideals! For the happiness of all people in the world, for the name of our ideal land, we..."
"Even if it means death!!!" the pirates roared wildly.
...
Almost simultaneously, on the warship, Cass's voice also rang out:
"Behind us lies a great cause. Swearing an oath of 'unyielding justice,' we vow to become the shield of hope, the wall of justice, the safety barrier for the people, and the first mountain that the enemy tries to trample on our ideals. We..."
"Fight to the death, never retreat!!!"
The people on all four warships shouted in unison.
