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

"So."

"Back to the previous question."

"If you were given the choice, would you rather be a pirate or a soldier?"

Rosen pondered for a moment, then asked Douglas Barrett the same question again.

"I have no idea."

"Roger is dead, and I have lost to you. Even if I want to chase the strongest, I have no target, let alone the qualifications."

"As for soldiers, even the Endless War Nation was destroyed by me. How can I be a soldier?"

"The Grand Line is really huge, so vast that it has everything, but it didn't give me a chance to choose."

Douglas Barrett shook his head:

"All right."

"Those words just now should be regarded as the last words of the Devil's descendant."

"You can do it now."

He smiled self-deprecatingly, then signaled to Rosen that he could start.

In this regard.

Rosen nodded slightly, then turned his back to Douglas Barrett.

"Gol D. Roger is indeed dead, but the Great Pirate Era he started at the cost of his life still exists."

"The Four Emperors, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Dark Emperor, etc. These pirate forces can be said to be the continuation of the will and life of the Pirate King."

"In other words, the Great Age of Pirates is Gol D. Roger's greatest masterpiece."

Rosen glanced back at Douglas Barrett and said something that shocked the Devil's descendant:

"Next, I will graduate from the Naval Academy, and one of the things I will do is to end this era of pirates."

"Eliminate the Shichibukai, the Dark Emperor, the Four Emperors, and all these miscellaneous pirates from the Grand Line."

"As for you, Douglas Barrett, since you don't have a goal, I will set a temporary goal for you. That is to stay by my side as a navy officer. After I end the Great Pirate Era and stand at a height above Gol D. Roger, you can challenge me again."

"If you beat me, you will be the strongest being surpassing the Four Emperors, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Pirate King, and even the Marine Headquarters."

"Also, unlike Gol D. Roger, there is one thing I can tell you clearly right now. I will not die before you become too far away and completely give up the idea of ​​challenging me."

His tone was neither light nor heavy, but every word he spoke was like a heavy hammer wrapped in a domineering aura, hitting the devil's descendant's heart again and again.

"You, you won't kill me?"

"Aren't you afraid that after I escape, I will turn this ocean upside down again?"

"Rosen."

Douglas Barrett looked at Rosen in disbelief.

He was ready to close his eyes and wait for death, but he never expected that Rosen, who had never left a single person alive since he set foot in the Infinite Hell, would actually spare him for the first time.

even.

Set him free, but he must be active in this sea as a sailor.

"I gave you a goal, and I made you a soldier again."

"Do you still need to run away?"

"Even if there is, it will be after seeing that I can't cut off the Great Pirate Era, or after I die. But unfortunately, such a thing will never happen."

Rosen pulled a Den Den Mushi out of his pocket and dialed the number.

Bulu bulu.

patter

"Junior, you seem to be doing something dangerous and out of line."

"As a senior, I have to give you a friendly reminder."

"Don't forget, he is the descendant of the devil. The sins of pirates cannot be erased."

As soon as the call was connected, Borsalino's voice came out from the mouth of the Den Den Mushi.

Obviously.

He had been observing the conversation between Rosen and Douglas Barrett through the video Den Den Mushi placed around him.

"It is the World Government that defines Barret as a criminal, not the justice of the Marine Headquarters."

"Of course, I have no intention of erasing his sins, because the only person who can erase his own sins is himself."

"As far as I know, as long as they have made significant contributions, even if they have been tried and convicted, the Navy Headquarters can treat them leniently, or even release them without charge, and even allow them to join the Navy."

Faced with Borsalino's words, Rosen did not choose to act arbitrarily or use force to suppress others.

First, he knew that this was a well-intentioned advice from Borsalino as a senior.

Second, he understood that he now had neither military rank nor authority.

He does not have the prestige and status to make decisions on his own.

Most importantly, the Navy Headquarters is a powerful organization with millions of navy men.

Even if one day in the future, Rosen possesses supreme prestige and power like the First Emperor in the headquarters and in the eyes of all the navy, he will still consider the face, justice, and feelings of the headquarters and other navy.

Because by then, his existence would represent the entire Navy Headquarters.

As the king of the navy, if you take the lead in trampling on justice and the system, will other navy still care about justice and the system?

will not.

Because of this, having experienced the teachings of the Warring States Period, when faced with Borsalino's words, Rosen chose to use the Navy Headquarters' own system to respond, rather than resorting to such a brutal method as force to solve the problem at the cost of soiling his own feathers.

"good."

"I just talked to him once, and his cunning, tactics, and character have grown to this point."

"He is indeed the material for being a navy admiral."

On the deck of the warship, after Sengoku heard the entire conversation between Rosen and Borsalino through Den Den Mushi, his first reaction was not rage, but a hint of admiration in his eyes.

The Navy Headquarters defines what absolute justice is.

If you want millions of navy officers and even hundreds of sea races to recognize and follow this justice, as the rule maker, you must act within the rules.

Occasional exceptions may be made due to special circumstances, but this cannot become the norm.

And Rosen now chooses to use the navy's system to solve the problem effortlessly, rather than using the most inferior method.

He used his fists to clear the way, trampled on justice and laws, and was not afraid to dirty the feathers of the Admiral.

Such performance certainly made Zhan Guo admire it and even feel gratified.

"Oh?"

"Is it a major meritorious performance?"

"What do you mean? I don't seem to see anything like that in Barrett."

Although he admired Rosen's performance in his heart, as the naval marshal, Zhan Guo still pretended to be impartial on the surface.

"Douglas Barrett will be my right-hand man."

"After I put collars on the Shichibukai one by one, he will be responsible for supervising the Shichibukai."

"When a Shichibukai tries to break free from the collar, or a pirate is not qualified to be a Shichibukai, he will be responsible for dealing with the unqualified Shichibukai."

Rosen said calmly.

He knew that both the World Government and the Warring States attached great importance to the system of Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The World Government needs the Seven Warlords of the Sea as the three major forces to maintain the balance of the ocean.

Sengoku needed him to put collars on the Seven Warlords of the Sea and transform the Seven Warlords of the Sea system from the original shame of the navy into a hunting dog that demonstrated the authority of the navy.

It is not a running dog in name, but a watchdog that goes wherever it is directed.

"What if Barrett commits malfeasance?"

"Or it is."

"He, will he stir up the sea again like he did in the past?"

The Warring States did not give in.

"Whether he is derelict of duty or going berserk, I will personally help him put an end to it."

"But before that, Douglas Barrett, I'll vouch for him."

"How is it? Marshal Zhan Guo."

Rosen is neither humble nor arrogant, and his words and actions are measured.
