Sakazuki took the very old military uniform handed over by Hibari.

In Law's doubtful eyes, he gently touched it with his hand, his expression solemn and heavy.

After smoothing out the wrinkles, he slowly spoke.

"This is the new military uniform Marine gave Corazon when he was promoted to commander of the headquarters. He hasn't worn it many times."

"After he took off this uniform and left Marine to join the Donquixote family, he never came back to wear it again."

"Since Corazon entrusted his life and faith to you, this military uniform should be handed over to you."

Sakazuki sighed with emotion.

Then, holding the old military uniform in both hands, he solemnly handed it to his chest, under Law's stunned gaze.

The air was quiet for a long time.

Sakazuki did not urge him. He still held the military uniform as steady as a mountain.

After a while, Law slowly sheathed the saber in his hand.

Then, he raised his trembling hands.

But he suddenly paused mid-air, hesitating for a few seconds, before letting his hands fall again.

Hibari, who was next to him, thought Law was going to refuse.

That was something Uncle Sakazuki had worked hard to find... or, well... it was hard to find.

But then, Law lowered his hands and wiped them heavily on his windbreaker, with "CORAZON" printed on it.

It was as if he wanted to hold Corazon's persistence, perseverance, justice, and kindness in his hands.

It was also as if he was trying to scrub his hands that had been stained with pirate blood.

Sakazuki silently watched Law's actions and patiently waited.

After a while, Law raised his hands again. This time, his hands no longer trembled, and his heart no longer hesitated.

He firmly took the old, but not tattered, military uniform.

Feeling the weight of the Marine uniform in his hand, Law's heart throbbed.

A clear tear fell on the collar of the uniform.

In an instant, Law burst into tears.

"Mr. Corazon, I feel it!"

...

"Kid, even though you stabbed me with a knife back then, I didn't feel any pain."

"You should be the one who is really suffering, poor little Law."

"I will definitely bring back the fruits of the operation."

"..."

"Even if I die, you must remember me. I died with a smile."

"Law, don't live with hatred and destruction anymore. Come and feel the warmth and justice of the world!"

...

In that cold winter, when the sky was full of snow, there was a refreshing warmth, and that warmth was called Corazon.

...

Sakazuki sat back in the office chair. After Law calmed down his emotions, he slowly spoke.

"Your next task is to get rid of the two Shichibukai: Doflamingo and Buggy, the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock, and Hawkeye Mihawk. I will send people to deal with them, and then..."

Sakazuki was about to continue when Law suddenly interrupted.

"Wait... wait, I know the other three, but is Buggy the one with the red nose? Why is he a Shichibukai?"

Law looked confused. Did Sakazuki say something wrong, or had he misunderstood?

Sakazuki's lips curled up slightly when he heard this, but he didn't explain.

Instead, he took a few pieces of paper from under the desk and pushed them toward Law.

Law picked them up and looked at them suspiciously.

"What? Shichibukai recruitment order? Weibull is also a target for recruitment?"

"If that's the case, why bother killing him?"

"Aren't you Marines afraid of being blamed by the World Government?"

Sakazuki sat back in his chair with a puzzled look and asked.

"Didn't you kill Weibull? Marine never sent a warship to hunt him down!"

The smart Law suddenly understood and looked at Sakazuki with a complicated expression.

"So you started..."

A sneer appeared on Sakazuki's lips.

"Don't look like that. We Marines and the World Government are destined to be different. You only need to obey my orders, as the Marine Fleet Admiral!"

Law's pupils trembled violently, and a cold chill shot up from his feet. His entire body felt cold.

Not a stranger? I only follow your orders?

"You mean...?"

Law didn't dare to ask any more questions. He seemed to have realized something terrible.

Sakazuki shook his head and ordered Hibari to get a training guide for Haki that was only available at Marine headquarters.

"The other pirates on the recruitment list are also assigned to you."

"As for Doflamingo, when the time is right, I will notify you to go to Dressrosa."

"That man won't be easy for you to deal with. Someone will help you then."

In addition to Buggy and the deceased Weevil, the World Government also gave several other targets.

For example, the Wolf Pirates, Silver Ax Pirates, and others were entrenched in the first half of the New World and were unable to compete for the position of Four Emperors.

Their strength is not very strong, so they can be left to someone like Law, a supernova, to handle.

As for Buggy, he dared to join forces with Crocodile and Mihawk to form a "Cross Union" in the future and put a bounty on Marine.

He has absolutely no ability at all, but he has caused a lot of trouble.

Even if that clown from the Roger Pirates truly hid some strength and had an ulterior motive, he shouldn't be playing the clown in front of the Marine.

"Although I understand that you want to solve your top priority as soon as possible, you must first improve your strength, or you will die."

Sakazuki handed the Haki training guide to Law.

"It contains the training techniques for Haki of the Observation Color and the Armed Color, as well as many comments from Senior Marines. It should be very helpful for people like you who have not yet mastered Haki."

"Okay, take this Den Den Mushi and hurry up to practice. Time waits for no one!"

Sakazuki gave Law another black-striped Den Den Mushi.

Law put the training guide and Den Den Mushi into his pocket, holding the heavy Marine uniform in his arms.

He nodded solemnly to Sakazuki and then stepped out of the office door resolutely.

Just as Law was about to leave the office, Sakazuki suddenly called him.

"There is a monument in the center of the square in front of the building with Corazon's name engraved on it. You can go and commemorate it!"

Law paused for a moment, then closed the door and left completely, leaving only a light response.

"Okay! Sakazuki Fleet Admiral!"

Sakazuki, in the office, heard those faint words with his keen senses, and a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth.

He then turned to look at Hibari and sighed softly.

"Hibari, in the next few months, you can use your evening time to follow Enel and train more with Teacher Zephyr!"

"The follow-up action on Doflamingo will allow you to take over some of it."

"This is a final explanation for your unfortunate experience when you were 6 years old."
