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

"You might say that with your Armament Haki defense, coupled with your strong defense and recovery, and the lava's resistance to flames, you can withstand the damage of the Blazing Hell."

"only."

"Senior, do you know how big the island is?"

Rosen suddenly changed the subject and asked Sakaski a seemingly irrelevant question.

"About 70 square kilometers."

Upon hearing this, Sakaski didn't know why Rosen suddenly asked this, but he still gave an answer.

With his observation Haki, he couldn't cover the entire island beneath his feet, but because this place was not far from the G1 1st Branch, he knew every island near the naval base he was guarding.

Because, after becoming the base commander of GL's 1st branch, he personally sent people to conduct on-site surveys.

"If these ten pillars of fire were detonated together, they would be able to turn an area of ​​100 kilometers in radius into scorched earth in an instant."

“Just like the name of this move.”

"Burning Hell."

As soon as Rosen said this.

咻

Borsalino's whole body burst into golden light, and then he disappeared from the spot in an instant without saying a word.

Relying on the speed of light, he rushed out of the island in an instant and hovered on the sea about five kilometers away from the island where Rosen and Sakaski were.

"This distance should be safe enough."

"Even if Sakaski still insists, if my junior brother ignites the fire column in anger, this place will be on the edge of the explosion area."

"It's not a big problem."

Borsalino wiped the sweat from his brow.

He knew Rosen inside and out and naturally knew that his junior always spoke the truth.

Since it is said that after the ten fire pillars are detonated, the radius of a hundred kilometers will be turned into scorched earth, then it must be true.

What's more, Observation Haki will not lie.

Having witnessed the attack power of Ryujin Jakka, and considering the massive size of these ten sky-high fire pillars, he could roughly estimate the power of this move even if he only used his eyes and brain to think.

"Porusalino!"

Sensing that Borsalino's breath had disappeared from the range of his Observation Haki, Sakaski's eyes twitched slightly.

Just like eating melons, you must never eat yourself.

Given Borsalno's usual steady style, he certainly wouldn't be affected by Ryujin Jakka just by watching the fight.

After all, he didn't think he was as strong as Sakaski.

Even if there is, I don't want to be hit by Rosen's Ryujin Jakka.

"now what?"

"Senior."

"Do you still think you can spend ten days and ten nights with me?"

Rosen didn't look at Borsalino who was escaping at the speed of light, but stared at Sakaski.

Is Admiral Akainu weak?

Not weak.

In terms of comprehensive strength, even if he is placed on the top stage of the world and compared with many overlords, even without the domineering aura, he is still a monster standing in the first echelon.

This was true whether before or after the Great Pirate Era.

However, this does not mean that Sakaski can waste his time.

"..."

At this moment, Sakaski was silent.

He really didn't know how to answer.

Before witnessing the blazing hell bursting out of the ground and descending upon the island, he could confidently declare that he could fight Rosen for ten days and ten nights.

Even if I was beaten for ten days and ten nights, it would take ten days and ten nights before I was beaten to death.

But now, even Admiral Akainu couldn't say those tough words he just said.

The scorching hell before him and the heat and firepower emitted by the ten towering fire pillars made it difficult for him to continue to show a tough attitude in front of Rosen.

"Yes."

"Facing your words, senior, really took up a lot of my time and effort."

"However, it's not because of your magma fruit with the highest peak attack power, nor because of your combat power that is the best among the three admirals, nor because of your will and domineering attitude, but because of your identity as a marine, the two words on the back of your clothes, and the fact that you are my senior."

Rosen looked at the silent Sakaski:

"I said."

"My sword is not meant to cut the navy."

"Don't even try to kill your senior."

He finished speaking.

Sakaski, who had remained silent all this time, was finally moved and his defenses were completely broken.

"Hey!"

Sakaski glanced at Rosen. He was always known for his iron-bloodedness and strength, but at this moment he sighed for the first time in his life.

It's not that after seeing the gap between him and Rosen, he felt aggrieved and powerless, or indignant and humiliated.

It's relief, it's recognition, it's admiration.

"Although this is only our first meeting and we haven't been together for a long time, I see in you a determination that is no less than mine, no, even greater than mine, to end the Great Pirate Era. I also see that you have the ability to do so."

"So, when I left GL Branch 1, I had actually given up the idea of ​​competing with you for the position of Navy Admiral."

"It's just like you said at the beginning, I want to try to get to know you and understand you."

Sakaski shook his head, then told Rosen frankly:

"It's not unreasonable that Borsalino would choose you over me."

"Junior! I am indeed not as good as you."

"In terms of strength, ability, and vision, I am not as good as you."

For the first time in his life, he opened his heart to someone and admitted from the bottom of his heart that he was not as good as Rosen.

If the two sides swap positions.

Sakaski felt that if he possessed the same strength as Rosen, he would definitely defeat the opponent and every admiral of the navy without saying a word with his absolutely powerful domineering aura and fruit ability.

Then, at all costs, destroy the Four Emperors and the Seven Warlords of the Sea on the sea and eradicate all evil.

But Rosen.

When facing himself, he really did it and did not slash the knife at the navy.

He was impressed by the breadth of mind and magnanimity.

“Some people are born to be kings.”

“Some people are born handsome.”

“Some people are born to be generals.”

"But whether it's a king, a commander, or a general, it's just a title in the end, and it doesn't represent superiority or inferiority."

Rosen sensed Sakaski's thoughts and emotions:

"In my opinion, you just need to do your best."

"Just like as a general, no one can be better than you, senior."

"Since you were born a king and chose the navy, you must rule the world. Otherwise, you would be a king in vain."

He also acknowledged Sakaski's strength and excellence.

As a naval admiral, there is really no one who can match him.

It can be said to be the pinnacle of a general.

"I never thought that one day I would be comforted like this."

After hearing this, Sakaski couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, but he immediately stopped smiling and put on a serious expression:

"Rosen."

"If I had to choose someone other than myself to be the Admiral of the Navy, it would only be you."

"So, I don't care why you have to start a war against the Wang Zhi Pirates at this time, and I don't care why you are so impatient, but you must come back alive."

"After all, you are the only admiral I, Sakaski, recognize."

Done.

For the first time, Sakaski took off the military cap on his head, then faced Rosen and slowly lowered his head.

The general bowed his head.

It is respect, recognition, and obedience.
