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

"Let's talk after we come in first."

"Rosen."

"If Borsalino knew that you traveled thousands of miles to come to GL Branch 1, and I let you stand here and enjoy the sea breeze, he would probably say that I am unkind."

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Sakaski's mind, but he remained calm on the surface.

Although Sengoku was training Rosen to be the naval marshal and Borsalino was on Rosen's side, he did not show any malice, dissatisfaction, or indifference towards the man in front of him.

On the contrary, after sensing Rosen's presence, from the moment he walked out of the office and arrived at the fortress in advance to wait for the greeting, to the communication during their first meeting, his courtesy was remarkable.

"Excuse me, Senior."

Through the perception of the See-and-Wen Color Qi Infant, Rosen read that Sakaski usually lifts weights at this time, and he suddenly realized.

The leader of the three generals was indeed not brought here by the wind.

Let’s take a look at the lives of Borsalino and Cuzan as generals.

The former reads newspapers during working hours, while the latter sleeps during working hours.

No wonder Kuzan was crippled in the battle of the Admiral.

They are both monsters with the abilities of a general. Both are top-level natural fruit ability users. One sleeps every day, and the other lifts weights every day. It would be strange if the one who sleeps is not beaten to death by the one who lifts weights.

"Sit wherever you like."

"I have to state in advance that my office is not like Borsalino's. I don't have any teas here."

"Just regular green tea, you don't mind?"

After bringing Rosen to the base commander's office, Sakaski said as he turned to boil water for tea.

"of course not."

Rosen shook his head.

Sakaski nodded slightly. He poured the hot water that had been boiled and then cooled down for a while into the covered bowl, and then quickly poured out the tea that had been soaked in tea leaves.

When he turned around and came to Rosen holding a fair cup filled with tea and two teacups, he found that there was a beautifully packaged small box on his desk.

"Hehehehe."

"Except Borsalino."

"I have been in the navy for so many years, and you are the first person who came to visit me and brought me a gift."

Seeing this scene, Sakaski, who was always upright and serious, actually forced out a smile for the first time in his life.

Because he pursued complete justice, coupled with his cruel methods and ruthless style, sailors below the rank of admiral would either sweat profusely with nervousness or tremble with fear when they saw him, let alone visiting him.

As for giving gifts, that goes without saying, for fear that he would regard it as a bribe and then reward the Hades Dog.

"To borrow a phrase from Senior Borsalino."

"As a junior student, I can't go to visit my senior empty-handed, right?"

Rosen picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Ah!

One of the national treasure teas of the tea country.

It must have been sent by Borsalino.

With Sakaski's style, unless the other party puts the Hell Dog on the neck of the King of the Tea Kingdom, he will never be able to get tea of ​​this level.

"what is this?"

Sakaski's attention was focused on the gift Rosen brought him, and he didn't notice that the other person's look was a little impolite.

"Whetstone."

As soon as Rosen said this, Sakaski's eyes suddenly brightened.

"interesting."

"Rosen, you thought of giving me a whetstone as a gift. I guess you heard Borsalino mention that I have the habit of sharpening my knife every day."

"Then do you know why I do this?"

Sakaski glanced at the saber on the stab rack:

"This knife has been out of use for more than a decade."

"But I never stopped polishing it."

"why is that?"

He picked up the fairness cup and refilled Rosen's cup until it was seven-tenths full.

“You don’t have to use a knife, but you can’t use it without any sharp edge.”

Rosen hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"good."

“You don’t have to use a knife now, but it must be kept sharp at all times.”

"Just like our navy, we can choose not to go to war with the Four Emperors, but we cannot be without the power to go to war."

When Sakaski heard this, a happy smile appeared on his face, and then he nodded vigorously.

As a knife, even if it is put aside and no longer used, it must remain sharp.

As an admiral of the navy, you don't have to go to war with the Four Emperors, but you must maintain your combat power at its peak.

This is also the reason why he sharpens his knife day after day, year after year, and why he exercises day after day, year after year.

"As the leader of the three generals, his reputation is well-deserved."

Rosen glanced at Sakaski and had to admit that it was not unreasonable for Sakaski to surpass Kuzan and become the Navy Admiral.

When he walked into the 1st Branch of the Marine GL, he already knew one thing through his observation Haki.

There is a troop of a thousand men in this base. Although the number is not large, all of them have mastered the entanglement hardening of Armament Haki.

Moreover, this navy was not transferred from the headquarters to the GL 1st Branch by Sengoku. After Sakaski became the base commander of the Navy GL 1st Branch, he initiated conscription in the New World and personally trained a group of recruits into elite navy forces capable of using domineering.

Whether it was training soldiers, leading troops in battle, or even charging into battle, Sakaski was the best among the three admirals of the navy.

If you had to choose a good guy among the three admirals, it would definitely be Kuzan.

But if you had to choose a Marine Marshal from among the three admirals to suppress the rampant Great Pirate Era, it would definitely be Sakaski.

Of course, this is limited to the three generals.

"Is he just the leader of the three generals?"

"how about you?"

"When you become the fourth admiral of the Marine Headquarters, do you think I can still be the leader of the four admirals?"

Upon hearing this, Sakaski suddenly changed the subject.

The originally harmonious atmosphere in the office suddenly became extremely heavy and sharp.

"The general is the one who leads the troops."

"I am the commander."

Faced with the sharp questions raised by Sakaski, Rosen remained calm.

"You mean, I can't command the admirals?"

now.

There was no anger on Sakaski's face, but his voice, tone, and momentum were as violent and aggressive as a magma fist.

Even a vice admiral would tremble physically and mentally when standing in front of him, and would not be able to remain calm.

"Do not."

"I just can't bear to see Admiral Akainu following behind the Five Elders."

Rosen chuckled and shook his head.

"So, let me give up competing with you for the position of Marine Admiral."

"Is this why you came to GL Branch 1?"

"Rosen."

Upon hearing this, Sakaski did not get angry, but instead looked at Rosen deeply.

He understood what Rosen meant.

If he were to become the marshal, not only would he not be able to command the admirals, but even he, as the marshal of the navy, would have to follow behind the Five Elders.

Together with the justice of the navy, they are subordinate to the World Government.

"I should say that I am here to give you a chance to know me, understand me, and then obey me."

Rosen picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and then said something shocking.
