"Boys, you all have been accompanying me on my journey for such a long time. Many of you received promotions and yet returned to work with me. Bald Chad, you even rejected 2 promotions to stay on being my Captain. I am thankful to you all for showing such convictions for me.
"But, as all stories have an end, I have resigned from Marines because I caught the world government trying to destroy a kingdom because some people there found out some dirty secrets of theirs. I will soon be labeled an enemy of the government and they'll probably put a bounty on me. I am not a pirate and never will be but they will try to make me appear like that to the world.
"I respect and like you all, so I don't want to play with your lives. Please leave this ship on the next island. Your friends and family will stay in danger if you associate with me anymore." Alexander respectfully announced.
But no one out of the 40 Marines moved an inch. "I AM COMING WITH YOU, BOSS"
Bald Chad moved forward. He had already stopped calling him Admiral.
"I don't follow you because you are my superior, but because I respect you and agree with what you do and stand for, you bring true justice to the people." He said.
"YES, OLD BALDY IS RIGHT" Many of the men voiced.
"Please take us with you, Boss." More men shouted.
Soon it was all of them shouting to stay with him. Alexander was touched with their loyalty, "I hope you know what you are doing. Okay, I accept you all. We will be known as the Golden Justice Army. All the high ranking members will wear a Golden cape like mine but without stars. Everyone else will wear golden bandanas around your necks. Now, I allow Bald Chad to go with you all on this ship and bring your family to my safe territory that I will soon announce. Dismissed."
All the men erupted in loud cheers and hugged each other.
"Boss"
Suddenly a voice appeared near Alexander's ear, spooking him.
"Goddammit, Dobby. What?"
"Look, this is a copy of your newspaper. I've named it Daily Dawn. It also has your whole declaration." Dobby informed.
Alexander checked it out first and accepted it. Making the newspaper wasn't hard for him. He already had Kindheart Malls all around the world and they worked as news gatherers for him.
"Good, tomorrow's edition will be free for the world. Thrown it in as many places as possible. Price it at 1 Berry, 2 Berry less than other papers from the day after tomorrow."
...
Mary Geois,
The five Elders met together. But this time Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Kuzan were there too.
"WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS" An elder angrily punched the giant marble table and it surprisingly broke down.
Sengoku was shocked seeing that, he didn't know that these 5 old fossils had any power outside their administrative powers.
Then in the end Alexander's own words were, "I am Alexander Maxim D Universe, I joined Marines because I wanted to help people. Then I slowly realized that the World Government used Marines like their extortion racket. If your kingdom doesn't pay heavenly tribute then the Marines won't protect you.
But have you ever wondered why there are Pirates even after there are so many strong Marines, Vice Admirals, Admirals, who can destroy countries alone. I asked this question and got the answers. If the Marines destroyed all the pirates then no one would pay Heavenly tribute to the World Government.
"Then I saw the destruction of a small island of peaceful people because they found about the void century. A time between 900-800 years ago. All the records of that time have been banned by the government and made it illegal to study. But the people on that island did it out of curiosity.
"In the end, they received a buster call, a power of World Government and Marine that lets them call 5 Vice Admiral with warships and destroy the kingdom to the last human.
"Don't you wonder why the World Government doesn't want you to find out the truth? That is because the World Government miraculously came into existence in those 100 years called the void century. If the world government were good people then why are they trying to hide it? Ask yourself while you sleep tonight.
"I am forming the Golden Justice Army. Its purpose is to unmask the evil World Government and save the world from their evil motives. Whenever in trouble, go to any Kindheart Mall, I will protect you. I am your voice and I am your Shield.
"REMEMBER. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. If questioning is getting you killed, then they are hiding something."
Alexander's words made the whole world finally start questioning their stance on the world government. Those who already knew the truth smiled and those who didn't want it to come out, frowned.
His words were no less than those of Roger's words and the biggest thing was that Alexander was still alive. So everyone got excited, thinking about what was next to come.
But that wasn't the only earth-shattering news. Alexander's Wanted Poster was also spread and it made people question the world government even more after reading Alexander's words.
...
Foosha Village,
Roger picked up the newspaper and also read everything. He couldn't believe that the old man was taking such a direct approach. Then he saw the wanted poster.
"TEN BILLION BERRIES!?... goddamn, he broke my record so soon." He complained while sitting in his bar. He looked out of the window at the sky and smiled.
"I already miss my old days. I wonder what they all are doing," he reminisced about his crew.
