"Sakazuki, is there a Visual Den Den Mushi on the ship?", Hanging up the phone, Rosse looked at the spirited Sakazuki.
He knew Sakazuki was in a hurry, but now was not the time to be hasty.
The audience wasn't even in place yet. No use for the actors to be anxious.
"There is. I'll go get it now," With that said, Sakazuki quickly left.
This was his best chance to show his face; he didn't want to miss it.
If he missed this opportunity, and followed the normal steps to be promoted to admiral, he might have to grind ten years for qualifications.
How many tens of years does a person have?
The earlier he became an admiral, the earlier he could become Fleet Admiral of the Navy, and the earlier he could fulfill his wish.
Before long, Sakazuki returned, holding a yellow snail-shaped Den Den Mushi in his hand.
There are many types of Den Den Mushi, including for photography, communication, surveillance, eavesdropping, projection, live broadcast, and other functions.
To conduct an online live broadcast, one must use the Visual Den Den Mushi's functions.
Visual Den Den Mushi can transmit images to specially made screens all over the world. The range of transmission can be controlled, and different levels of Visual Den Den Mushi have different permissions.
Generally, the screens around the world play singing and dancing programs using the most basic Visual Den Den Mushi.
On a higher level, if a major event occurs in a region, it will also be transmitted via Visual Den Den Mushi. Pirates of the New World also use this method to communicate with the public, similar to holding a press conference.
But all of these can only transmit regionally, and cannot conduct a worldwide online broadcast.
Only through the highest-permission Visual Den Den Mushi controlled by the World Government can worldwide transmission be done.
Long ago, these Den Den Mushi were monopolized by the World Government.
Or rather, when screens were being built around the world, the World Government had already seized control of public opinion.
The execution of Roger two years ago, and the future trial of Ace, were both broadcast worldwide using this type of Den Den Mushi.
It's just that both of those broadcasts flopped and instead spread some unfavorable information.
Rosse wasn't very good at handling these things, but Sakazuki's ship had professionals in charge.
It only took a short while before everything was set up.
GACHA!
With the Visual Den Den Mushi's functions fully activated, in an instant, on screens all across the allied nations of the world, the images of Rosse and Sakazuki appeared.

[East Blue, Goa Kingdom, Royal Capital]
"What's going on? Wasn't it playing Miss Raya's concert just now?"
"What the heck, why did the Navy suddenly appear?"
"Where is that place in the video? How is there such a big tree?"
"..."
The noise never stopped. The changes on the screens throughout the capital attracted the attention of many people.
A man and woman walking down the street also noticed the change on the screen.
"Dragon, is that...?", The woman was only about 1.5 meters tall, round eyes, black hair, and when she smiled, it felt kind of comical.
"The Navy... That's the Tree of All-Knowing in Ohara. They're going to destroy that island," Dragon was about 30 years old, with red tattoos painted on his face. He hadn't expected that just coming back to his hometown, he'd run into the Navy conducting a live broadcast.
He had heard about Ohara from Saul.
He also wanted to save Ohara, but with the power in his hands, he simply couldn't, so he could only pretend he didn't know.
According to his original plan, he was going to go check the place out after Ohara was destroyed to see what could be salvaged.
But he didn't expect the Navy to publicly execute this time.
Still, Dragon couldn't do anything, he could only quietly watch the images on the screen.
Unknowingly, his fists were clenched tight, then quietly loosened again when the woman beside him held his hand.
["Hello, everyone!"]
On the screen, Rosse stood tall, dressed in a black suit, draped in the World Government's cloak, smiling as he faced the camera and said:
["My name is Jaygarcia Rosse, a Celestial Dragon!"]
As soon as these words came out, the entire world watching the broadcast erupted. Some even instinctively knelt on the ground.
Live broadcast screens were more common in allied nations. Due to 800 years of World Government propaganda, the image of Celestial Dragons had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Especially in the weakest of the four seas, those pirates watching the broadcast couldn't help but show fear in their eyes when they saw Rosse.
Only some madmen in the New World revealed expressions of disdain.
["According to the laws of the World Government, those who research the forbidden Void Century, deserve the death penalty."]
["The scholars of Ohara have violated the ban and have all been executed. The list of executed includes..."]
Listening to a long list of names of the dead, most of the citizens were shocked.
This was also the purpose of this live broadcast, and the reason why the Five Elders agreed to it.
Studying history is no small matter, defying the World Government's ban is a much bigger deal.
If people just went around disobeying the World Government, wouldn't the world fall into chaos?
Letting some pirates nest in the New World like raising poisonous insects and encouraging allied nations to actively pay Heavenly Tribute was already enough.
As for others without strength but still wanting to commit crimes, they needed to weigh the consequences.
Since Roger's death and the start of the Great Pirate Era, the trial of Roger didn't have the intended deterrent effect.
So Rosse's live broadcast this time was meant to demonstrate the might of the World Government and make the allied nations continue to have faith in it.
At the same time, Rosse could gain prestige through this, and rise within the Celestial Dragons to become a cultivable elite.
This was the tacit understanding between Rosse and the Five Elders.
To achieve this, the live broadcast had to be effective.
[North Blue, Roussell Island]
"Fufufufufufu! A Celestial Dragon is personally acting. Roger's mess has made even the World Government uneasy," Doflamingo laughed arrogantly, but behind those shaded sunglasses, his shadowed eyes were staring deathly at Rosse on the screen.
If it weren't for the events of that year, he'd still be one of the Celestial Dragons. Why would he now have to work his ass off to build power from scratch?
How was he worse than those trash? Just because his old man got tired of being a Celestial Dragon, even his born status was stripped away.
'Damn it! Bastard old man!'
On screen, Rosse continued speaking unhurriedly:
["Thus, all the villains who challenged the majesty of the World Government have been purged. Begin the execution of the Buster Call on Ohara."]
"What is Buster Call?"
"A Buster Call?"
"Ah! Ohara is doomed!"
"Buster Call is a destruction order issued by the World Government. Once activated, the naval fleet's firepower can easily destroy an island."
"..."
Around the world, discussions kept erupting over the term "Buster Call."
Some were terrified, some silent, some couldn't bear it, and some...
But one thing was similar among everyone, no one had seen a real Buster Call.
At this moment, whether civilians, pirates, or royalty, they all wanted to see what a real Buster Call looked like.
["This Buster Call will be carried out by Admiral Candidate Sakazuki."]
["Sakazuki, begin the execution of the Buster Call."]
