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

The three admirals of the navy have different personalities and each goes to extremes.

Rosen is very clear about this.

Therefore, when he decided to come to the 1st GL branch to meet Sakaski, he had already thought about how to face this chief general.

Among the three admirals of the navy, he is the toughest, the fiercest and the strongest.

Sakaski is very similar to Douglas Barrett, even the same.

A natural born soldier.

There's nothing wrong with using the same methods on Sakaski that he used with Borsalino, but in that case, they can only be colleagues, friends, or comrades on the same front, but they can't become his subordinates.

If you want to subdue such a general, nothing, including power, wealth, influence, etc., will work.

Only pure strength and impressive achievements can make Admiral Akainu sincerely bow his head.

As Douglas Barrett.

As the strongest general of the headquarters, how could Sakaski bow to someone who is inferior to him?

"Obey you?"

"Rosen."

"Can I understand that you are here to formally declare war on me?"

Sakaski's eyes focused, and a cold and hot aura burst out of his body.

at this time.

He was like a super volcano lurking in front of Rosen, with magma ready to erupt completely at any moment.

"No, my sword is not meant to cut down the navy."

Faced with the momentum that was as hot as magma, Rosen seemed to be completely unaware of it.

His words instantly made the tense atmosphere in the office disappear without a trace.

"Rosen."

"I also heard about you putting collars on the Seven Warlords of the Sea. You did the right thing and it was very impressive. But it's not enough."

"This is a cruel world of pirates. To deal with such a cruel world, you must become crueler than the world."

"So, if you want to become the admiral, you must point your sword at me; just as if you want to end the Great Pirate Era, you must point your sword at the Four Emperors."

Sakaski moved slightly, and retracted the momentum that was directed in all directions.

Although their personalities, characters, and principles of justice were different, he had heard of Rosen's deeds, and he recognized the deeds of this junior fellow student sitting in front of him whom he met for the first time from the bottom of his heart.

Because he dared to reach out to the Seven Warlords of the Sea right after graduation, and put collars on unruly and lawless pirates like Donquixote Doflamingo and Dracule Mihawk.

He did not have the ambiguity of Borsalino, nor the resentment and laziness of Kuzan. Instead, he chose to use his own sword to change the shameful system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

This is also why, after sensing Rosen's arrival, Sakaski put down his ten-year-long weightlifting and came to the fortress entrance early to wait and greet Rosen in person.

Whether in terms of military rank, qualifications, or seniority, Sakaski has no need to do this.

But he still did it.

Just because he recognized the man in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

"Teacher Zhan Guo once taught me something."

"There are many ways to solve a problem. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to resort to swords."

Why did Rosen call Sakaski "senior" when they first met?

Even when he first met Borsalino, he did not do so, but kept a distance. It was not until he repeatedly called himself a junior and insisted that he call him a senior that the title and relationship between the two were settled.

But this was not the case when facing Sakaski.

Because Rosen had read Sakaski's thoughts and some of his memories, he knew that Sakaski also agreed with him from the bottom of his heart and regarded him as his junior.

Because of this, although he wanted to subdue Sakaski, he never thought of pointing the knife at his senior.

"Oh?"

"Then tell me, what are you going to do?"

"You don't need to fight with swords, but you can make me willingly give up the position of Admiral of the Navy and obey you."

Upon hearing this, Sakaski also became interested.

He does not covet power, but he shares the same understanding as Kuzan that becoming the Admiral of the Navy will allow him to better enforce his own justice.

Therefore, when it comes to the justice that he upholds, even if the other party is a junior whom he recognizes from the bottom of his heart, he will not back down. Instead, out of respect for Rosen, he will do his best to fight with the other party.

Either win fairly or lose sincerely.

A typical military demeanor.

This was Sakaski's idea, and it was also the reason why he chose to give Kuzan a fair chance to compete even though he shined in the Battle of Marineford, surpassed Kuzan in military achievements, strength, and prestige, and gained the recognition and support of the World Government, and was almost firmly sitting on the position of Navy Admiral.

The winner becomes the marshal, the loser becomes the general, with no regrets.

But I didn’t expect that Kuzan couldn’t afford to play. After being defeated, he chose to resign and jumped to the pirate camp.

"The New World is too small to accommodate so many emperors. It's time to reduce the number by one."

Rosen looked Sakaski straight in the eyes.

"Is our headquarters going to go to war with the Four Emperors?"

Sakaski's face changed when he heard this.

There was surprise, excitement, and joy.

Obviously.

He has been looking forward to this day for a long time.

"It's not the headquarters that is going to war against the Four Emperors, but I am going to war against the Four Emperors."

Seeing that Sakaski had misunderstood what he meant, Rosen corrected him.

"yourself?"

"Rosen, are you crazy?"

"The Four Emperors are not one person, but a huge pirate group."

Sakaski finally reacted and frowned instantly:

"I will never allow you to prove yourself in such a dangerous way."

He already understood Rosen's thoughts.

It's nothing more than using the defeat of one of the Four Emperors pirate groups to convince themselves.

But he would rather fight with Rosen with swords than let him do this.

The civil war among the admirals could at most determine the winner, but not the life or death, and winning or losing would not have too serious consequences. But if Rosen were to go to war against the Four Emperors alone, it would be fine if he won, but if he lost, it would be a big problem.

If you die in battle, then there's nothing to say, you're just a dead person.

If you're alive, forget about becoming a naval admiral.

Declaring war on the Four Emperors without permission from superiors is a taboo for the World Government and the Marine Headquarters.

Especially the various adverse effects caused by the defeat, which could not be suppressed even with Zhan Guo supporting Rosen behind the scenes.

By then, Rosen's naval career would be ruined.

If it were someone else, they might be secretly happy that there was one less competitor for the marshal position, but Sakaski did not have such an idea.

First, his character and sense of justice would not allow him to have such thoughts.

Second, just as Rosen regarded him as a senior, he also regarded Rosen as a junior.

"I know that you are extremely talented, the best in the entire army, and you have never lost a battle since your debut."

"But you have to understand one thing. Going to war with the Four Emperors does not mean a one-on-one duel with them. The pirates will not talk about fairness and justice with you. They will just rush over and surround and kill you."

"Indeed, you have fought against many enemies alone and cleared the Infinite Hell, and you also possess Conqueror's Haki, but the prisoners in the Infinite Hell are completely different from the Four Emperors Pirate Group."

"In a battle between generals and emperors, even the slightest external factor could affect the outcome, or even decide life or death."

Sakaski said in a deep voice.

He himself is a monster with the qualities of a great general, and he was also young and energetic once, so he naturally understood Rosen's mentality.

"Take Kaido for example."

"If it's a one-on-one fight, I'm not afraid of him at all, but if the Three Calamities come from the side, I have to pay attention to their every move and be on guard against their sneak attacks at all times. In this way, Kaido can attack without restraint and exert his full strength, while I can only exert 70% to 80% of my combat power at most. Even if the Three Calamities just come from the side and don't attack, I will lose."

"If Kaido and the Three Calamities join forces, it will be even simpler. Not to mention the difference in combat power and numbers between the two sides, Kaido and the Three Calamities, if they just play a margin of error, I will either be defeated or escaped. There is no chance of winning at all."

Sakaski shared his experience with Rosen without reservation:

"If I am below the level of the general emperor, I can fight many enemies alone. Without the four emperors to hold me back, I won't get my clothes dirty no matter if you want me to wipe out Kaido's three disasters, Big Mom's four generals, or Wang Zhi's three bosses."

"Only when more than a dozen captains of the Whitebeard Pirates join forces will there be some pressure."

"For generals above the level of Emperor, it is impossible to fight alone against many enemies."

"Just like Whitebeard, he may be able to defeat me, Borsalino, or any one of Kuzan, but as long as Borsalino, Kuzan, or any one of me join forces, even the strongest man in the world will either die in battle or escape. There is no chance of winning."

"So, you must immediately abandon the idea of ​​going to war against the Four Emperors alone."

"Since you call me senior, then as your senior, I have the responsibility and obligation to stop you from doing things that will ruin yourself."

Sakaski changed from his usual strong and aggressive demeanor and instead showed his sincere and caring side, like a teacher.
