Weapon fruit is rubbish? Have you ever heard of Ryujin Jakka?

"The Navy King?"

“He’s close to living up to his reputation.”

"All that is lacking now is prestige and military merit."

When Sengoku heard what Garp said, he first chuckled and expressed his agreement. He really dreamed of seeing the Navy Headquarters welcome a king like Rosen.

And now, he has finally waited for it.

As for military merit and prestige, for ordinary navy officers, it is almost impossible to accumulate enough military merit to be promoted to admiral and have the prestige to intimidate the sea.

But for Rosen, who has already possessed the strength of a top admiral before graduating from the Naval Academy, and whose three-color domineering, physical skills, and fruit abilities are improving every day, the so-called general skills and prestige are just things that can be easily obtained.

However, Zhan Guo immediately thought of something that had been giving him a headache recently.

That was Don Quixote Doflamingo's robbery of the Heavenly Gold.

He knew very well that if this matter was not handled properly, it would deal a heavy blow to the prestige of the Navy Headquarters.

After all, today Donquixote Doflamingo can ask the Marine Headquarters for the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea by plundering Tenjo Gold. Tomorrow other pirates will follow suit, plunder Tenjo Gold, and negotiate terms with the Marine Headquarters.

In addition to this, Kuzan's persistence and passion in pursuing burning justice will be further undermined.

In fact, with the strength of the navy and the means of the Warring States period, it would not be difficult to handle this matter comprehensively.

But the problem is that the World Government has actually sent out a signal.

That is to agree to Don Quixote Doflamingo's request.

Without him.

All because of three words.

Celestial Dragons.

One reason is that Donquixote Doflamingo was once a Celestial Dragon, and the World Government is worried that if they arrest Donquixote Doflamingo, it may cause dissatisfaction among other Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land, or affect the reputation of the world's nobles.

The second is the urgent need to recover the Heavenly Gold and give an explanation to the Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise.

This made the Warring States feel constrained.

It’s not right to catch him, and it’s not right not to catch him.

dilemma.

Until he witnessed Rosen's domineering aura rising straight into the sky from the Naval Academy just now, he seemed to see a navy king galloping on the sea and looking down on everyone, and he couldn't help but think of a better solution in his mind.

"Perhaps it's time for the world to hear the sword of the navy."

"Just follow."

"These damn Shichibukai start."

When Sengoku talked about the Shichibukai, his voice was filled with disgust.

He is a naval admiral who possesses the domineering aura of a king, and he upholds justice that rules the world. When facing pirates, he is a strong and domineering navy officer.

But now, for the sake of the balance of the world, the opinions of the Five Elders and the weight of the World Government must be considered, and the system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was established at the expense of the justice and face of the Marine Headquarters. How could he have a good impression of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

……

That night.

crunch

When Gion opened the dormitory door, he suddenly saw a tall figure standing in the corridor of the military academy dormitory, with his hands on the railing, looking free and comfortable, admiring the falling cherry blossoms that were dancing like pink elves under the night sky.

"Tonight is a great day for cherry blossom viewing."

"I knew it."

"You will definitely be here."

Gion walked up to Rosen.

In a trance, she seemed to have returned to the night several months ago when she met this man in this place.

How long has it been?

Although they are all still students, Rosen already has the strength to stand at the top of a million-strong navy.

"Actually, I don't know how to appreciate flowers, and I'm not a person who cherishes flowers."

“It’s just that every time I stand here, it reminds me of my original self.”

“That embarrassed, yet extremely real self.”

Rosen looked at the cherry blossoms dancing freely under the starry sky.

This is his third time standing here.

The same starry sky.

The same cherry blossoms.

But every time he stood here, his mood would be different.

The first time was the confusion and uneasiness when traveling through time.

The second time, it was the confidence in the extraordinary understanding and the vision for the future.

The third time, it was the comfort and dominance of standing on the top of the sea.

Standing in this familiar dormitory corridor, looking at the familiar falling cherry blossoms in front of him, Rosen felt surprisingly calm in his heart.

This allowed him to see his own changes and he would not lose himself in the pursuit of power and justice.

"Who would have thought that a man who had been at the pinnacle of the navy for less than four months after entering the academy would actually have his moments of embarrassment."

Upon hearing this, Gion showed a hint of curiosity on her pretty face.

She found that she seemed to see the truest side of this man.

"Of course."

"Even dragons can get stuck in shallow water, let alone me."

"At that time, I felt a strong fear of the sea."

When Rosen said this, he couldn't help but think of when he first traveled through time. He was actually worried about whether he would be killed by Donquixote Doflamingo in the future because he had eaten the Weapon Fruit.

He understood that all this was due to his own lack of strength.

What he feared was not Don Quixote Doflamingo, but that he would become weak.

“I can’t even imagine it!”

"A man who emptied the infinite hell, a monster who killed the lonely red, is actually afraid of this sea."

Gion listened with great interest, and when he looked at Rosen, his eyes flashed with interest from time to time.

Rosen saw that he was clearly recounting his past embarrassments, but Gion was listening with great interest and becoming more and more interested in him, so he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

Maybe this is what is called being weak and useless, and no one cares about you. But the slight weakness, or gentleness, revealed by the strong is doubly charming!

Just as the two of them were looking at the sky full of cherry blossoms and chatting intermittently, they suddenly noticed a burly figure wearing a coat of justice appear in the corridor below the dormitory.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period."

Gion also noticed the figure appearing in the aisle, and his voice couldn't help but reveal a bit of surprise.

She had never expected that the Admiral would come to the Naval Academy dormitory at this time.

"It's Gion!"

"So you're here too."

"Would it be convenient for you to lend me your male companion for a while?"

Sengoku found that not only Rosen, but also Gion was standing behind the dormitory corridor, and couldn't help but joked.

As a naval marshal, being eloquent is basic skill.

He did not directly name Rosen as the other party's boyfriend, in order to avoid provoking resistance from Gion if it was not the case, or even causing a grudge between the two of them, but he deliberately used the word "male companion" and added "your" in front of it.

There were tentative steps and hints, but of course there were more jokes and a few ideas of matchmaking.

He knew that Tsuru treated Gion as her own sister. If Rosen really got together with Gion, Sengoku would be very happy to see this happen.

A man with the bearing of a marshal.

A woman with the qualities of a great general.

It would be really interesting if I could really bring this pair together myself.

"what are you talking about?"

"Marshal of the Warring States Period."

"I'm not so arrogant as to claim the strongest student in history as my own property."

Gion glared at Sengoku, then stepped aside at the right time and walked towards his dormitory not far away:

"I won't bother you guys with your serious business anymore."

A dignified admiral of the navy came to the navy dormitory in the middle of the night and even asked for someone. It was obvious that he wanted to discuss some serious matters with Rosen.

Of course, she couldn't continue to be an obstacle or get involved.

Thinking that Rosen was about to graduate, Gion couldn't help but guess vaguely.

Perhaps the next thing to talk about is where Rosen will go after graduation.
