Sora took in the expressions of Tsuru and Kuzan, with a hint of delight in her heart.
How to arrange the Marine, long ago, Rosse had already discussed with her.
Some things were not suitable for Otohime to do, so she could only do it in her place.
This time they came aboard the ship, not to force Kuzan to act.
Against a powerhouse of Kuzan's level, coercion was useless.
Even if he watched himself go handle those people on Fish-Man Island, he could decisively freeze people, but actually it wasn't killing, rather to protect those people.
And excessive coercion would have the opposite effect.
Since that's the case, might as well let Kuzan watch from the side, watching the Fleet Admiral or others personally take action, killing all those he believed to be innocent.
As for the possibility of Kong not taking the field... that never existed from the beginning.
As long as she stood here, it was an invisible deterrence.
Kong's idea was simple, he just wanted to retire from the Marine in peace and be promoted to the World Government.
If Kong didn't do it, then the position of Commander-in-Chief of the three forces might not go to him.
They could deny the original Vice Admiral Sengoku, so they could also deny this potential Commander-in-Chief Kong.
In order to get promoted, he would have to show some results.
So from the beginning, in Rosse and Sora's plan, Kong was the executioner, and also the fuse to spark Kuzan's rejection of the Marine.
Forcing Kuzan to defect was only the first step.
Next, it would be Garp and Sengoku.
"Vice Admiral Kuzan, aren't you going with Fleet Admiral Kong?", Sora looked at Kuzan, eyes feigning confusion.
"I'll go take a look," Kuzan gave a low snort, his face looking rather unpleasant.
In the blink of an eye, on the route from the warship to Fish-Man Island, a road paved with ice appeared, isolating all the seawater.
His figure passed through this passage and entered Fish-Man Island.
Even if he himself hadn't entered Fish-Man Island yet, in his Observation Haki perception, he could already hear the wails from Fish-Man Island.
Kong, as the Fleet Admiral, was now going on a killing spree in Fish-Man Island.
Not caring whether those people were innocent or not, it was completely an indiscriminate massacre.
'Could it be that the World Government's orders have to be executed to such an extent?'
'This is simply not justice!'
'This kind of Marine, what difference is there from pirates?'
Entering Fish-Man Island's interior, Kuzan's expression became worse and worse.
Kong was a physical combat-type powerhouse, in terms of destructive power alone, he counted among the weakest of all kinds of powerhouses.
But if truly compared, that was compared to people of the same level.
S-level combat power placed in the Fish-Man Island environment was an absolutely invincible existence.
Hundreds of thousands of people in front of Kong were no different from hundreds of thousands of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Plus, Kong's Observation Haki could cover the entire Fish-Man Island, just like radar scanning, there was nowhere anyone on Fish-Man Island could hide from his Observation Haki.
BOOM! BOOM!
Buildings collapsed one after another.
Under Kong's destruction, those thousands of Fish-men and Merfolk who gathered to resist, without even managing to declare their intentions, were destroyed by Kong along with their buildings.
A physical combat powerhouse couldn't destroy everything within a kilometer with a single blow, but affecting several hundred meters with one punch wasn't too difficult.
"Fleet Admiral Kong…", Kuzan stood on a piece of Fish-Man Island's ruins, looking down at the hellish scene full of blood, not even intact corpses remaining, his face terrifyingly gloomy.
He thought this time's Buster Call would be similar to the one in Ohara.
A large number of innocent people could evacuate early, only the island would be destroyed.
That was a Buster Call he could accept.
But he never expected that so many people still remained on Fish-Man Island.
And these people were being massacred by the Fleet Admiral who represented justice.
Not even offering a chance to surrender, only pure slaughter.
In Kuzan's view, Kong's actions were far worse than Sakazuki's.
Among this group of Fish-men and Merfolk, there weren't any of those extremely wicked individuals.
"ICE AGE!"
Kuzan lowered himself, shouted in a deep voice, and pressed both hands on the ground.
As his arms extended outwards, ice continuously spread outward.
At this moment, he had no other thoughts, only wanting to completely freeze Fish-Man Island as soon as possible.
If he were fast enough, maybe he could still save some people.

On the other side, on the Marine battleship.
Sora stepped over to Garp's side, and before she could say anything, Tsuru's voice came over, "Lady Sora, Garp has always had this carefree personality, please don't mind."
"It's fine. It's just that half a day ago His Highness told me something, and I'm hesitating whether to tell you all," Sora wore a hesitant expression.
"Related to Garp?", Tsuru furrowed her brow tightly.
Even Garp, who appeared to be snoring and sleeping, seemed to have stopped his snoring at this moment.
"Yes," Sora lightly nodded, looked around, and only after seeing no strangers nearby did she speak softly, "According to information received by His Highness, someone saw Dragon at the Sabaody Archipelago, and he was together with Dark King Rayleigh."
"What?", Tsuru's pupils shrank, quickly realizing something.
Even Garp was no longer pretending to sleep, simply sat up straight, tiger-like eyes locked on Sora.
No matter what, Dragon was Garp's only son.
With his relationship with Rosse, he absolutely didn't believe Sora was offering this news out of goodwill.
An invisible wave of Conqueror's Haki spread out, enveloping Sora.
Affected by this wave of Conqueror's Haki, even with Gion standing in front of her, Sora's face still turned slightly pale.
"Garp!", Sengoku shouted in a low voice, and together with Zephyr blocked between Garp and Sora.
As soon as the two appeared, the aura Garp had gathered was dispersed.
Garp was strong, but if he wanted to bypass these two to trouble Sora, that would be impossible.
"Dragon is no longer a Marine. Why bring him up suddenly?", Garp returned to his lazy demeanor, leaning back on the sofa.
"But at this critical time point, he is with Dark King Rayleigh. Isn't it hard not to overthink?", Sora countered. Her expression quickly returned to normal, as if that pressure just now had never existed.
"Lady Sora, what is your purpose in bringing this up?", Sengoku turned to look at Sora with a frown, trying to discern her intentions.
He, Tsuru, Garp, and Zephyr were all Marines of the same generation, considered extremely close comrades.
Sora suddenly mentioning Dragon made him have to think deeply.
Especially since he recently received news from his adopted son Corazon that Doflamingo had been kidnapped by Big Mom.
Now, the entire sea was showing signs of falling into chaos.
"I am doing this for His Highness," Sora looked calmly at Garp and Sengoku, seemingly pure and clear, "His Highness doesn't mind how many enemies there are, but I am His Highness's wife, so I don't want too many people to be enemies with him. Dragon is Vice Admiral Garp's son, so I hope he can contact Dragon and ask him not to get involved."
