-->[[PreemptiveShutUp Do not attempt to dissuade me, Jeremiah Cross.]] I need only one look at you to see that you know what I’m here to do and why. You also know that your entire crew together would be unable to stop me by force. You are left with your words, and I’m sure you can make a compelling argument. But you won’t, no matter how much you may want to, because you’re smart enough and knowledgeable enough to know that if you do, it will lead to your crew’s deaths. I am perfectly aware of the solidarity of the Straw Hat Pirates. That is the precise reason why I have come here. [[spoiler:You conquered Enies Lobby because you had reinforcements and because CP9 was the only true challenge you had to face.]] But the Government’s two remaining bases have not decayed from the expected standard. And now, with the war against [[WorldsStrongestMan Whitebeard]] on the horizon, there is even more security than usual. One such as your captain has a chance to succeed if he were to infiltrate either or both of the remaining bases. But I guarantee that at least one of your crew would not survive if all of you attempted the mission. I will not give you the choice to say no, Jeremiah Cross. If I leave you as you are, your crew will use whatever resources they have to try [[spoiler:to rescue Fire Fist Ace]], and then proceed to the New World, and anyone lost along the way will be on ''your head.'' [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Do you believe, fully and completely, that all of you as you are can survive a war between the most powerful forces in the world, and then proceed to the Emperors’ domain and successfully claim Roger’s throne?]]\\
''{Cross tries and fails to come up with a strong enough rebuttal}''\\
You already know this. The Straw Hat Pirates are not ready for the strongest that this world has to offer. I will meet your crew at Grove 13, outside of the Rip-Off Bar, at sunset. Ensure that they are prepared to depart by then. They will leave this place when I arrive… whether they wish it or not. This decision is final. That is all.
