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

"What did you do to my hat?"

Nicole Robin frowned slightly, picked up the cowboy hat and looked at it for a few seconds, and found that apart from the different color, she didn't notice anything unusual.

"Ah la la la la!"

"Um, Robin."

"Even though you don't really want to see my face or hear my voice, I still have to say it."

Before Rosen could speak, Kuzan was afraid that Nico Robin might act on impulse, or that she didn't know the value of the hat processed by Rosen, so he quickly reminded her:

"If you really insist on continuing to look for the historical text, then be sure to post it and keep it well."

"This hat contains the world's most powerful aura."

"It can protect you on your journey to pursue the truth of the world."

"Even if it's against the World Government."

He once heard that Rosen had sealed a stream of Armament Haki in T. Penn's sword, giving a branch colonel the power to fight against the world's most powerful swordsman.

Therefore.

Kuzan could tell at a glance that Rosen had just sealed a domineering aura in Nico Robin's cowboy hat.

"what is this?"

"As an admiral, will you atone for the sins committed by the navy in the past?"

"Or compensation?"

Nicole Robin squeezed the cowboy hat in her hand tightly and stared at Rosen expressionlessly.

She can't take it.

The entire city of O'Hara was completely wiped out from the West Sea by the Navy's Demon Killing Order's artillery fire.

And those scholars.

Fleeing civilians.

All of them were burned to ashes.

In the end, he only changed to this hat?

"In the O'Hara incident, the Navy played the role of the butcher and the World Government played the role of the person holding the knife. This is an indisputable fact, but what really ruined O'Hara was the ambition of a group of scholars."

"Of course."

“You can also call it a dream.”

Faced with Nico Robin's sharp question, Rosen did not get angry, nor did he answer.

"You bullshit!"

“Reveal the truth about the world.”

"What's wrong?"

After hearing this, Nico Robin stood up excitedly.

"Revealing the truth about the world is right in the eyes of Oshara scholars, but in the eyes of the World Government, it is a big mistake no matter when and where."

"As the most knowledgeable group of people in the world, they should know it well."

"If we touch the bottom line of the World Government, what consequences will it bring to the island of O'Hara and the ordinary people living on this island?"

Rosen looked at the emotional Nico Robin, his tone still calm:

“They knew it, but they did it anyway.”

“They call it exposing the truth about the world, or pursuing dreams.”

“So, do you think that ordinary people living in O’Hara, non-scholars, want to know the truth about the world?

"Are they willing to let a group of scholars risk their lives and hometowns to explore history without their knowledge?"

As soon as these words came out.

Nico Robin's face changed drastically.

"You are lying."

"It's simply to put the blame of the Navy and the World Government on the scholars."

She shouted through gritted teeth.

"look."

Upon hearing this, Rosen motioned Nico Robin to look at the sea ahead.

"What are you looking at?"

Although Nico Robin was angry, the disparity in strength made her choose to obey and look in the direction where Rosen was looking.

I saw a sea king breaking out of the sea, madly chasing Crocodile who was tied up with a domineering silk thread like a bait.

Seeing this scene, she was thoughtful and seemed to understand something.

"Knowing that sea kings eat people, why would you choose to provoke them?"

"If you don't have the ability to kill a sea king, why would you choose to hunt it?"

"The historical text can shake the foundation of the world government. To touch it without reason is equivalent to taking away the offspring of a sea king who has just given birth."

"If you scholars from O'Hara want to emulate the Revolutionary Army and overthrow the rule of the World Government, then that's understandable, but that's not the case. The vast majority of you scholars are just doing archaeology."

“An archaeological expedition that risks the lives of all the people in O’Hara.”

Rosen said quietly.

"you."

Nico Robin opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Rosen.

"Nicole Robin."

"I ask you."

"Before you became a scholar, did you want a mother or did you want the text of history?"

Rosen's question stumped Nico Robin.

"..."

Nico Robin slowly squatted down and sat on the ice again.

At this moment, she could no longer find any reason to refute.

"It's the mother."

"That's right, because in the O'Hara incident, those ordinary people who died also thought the same way. They didn't want to know the truth about the world, they just wanted to live in peace."

"However."

"A group of archaeologists who set out to explore history held high the banner of dreams and ambitions, which angered the World Government, and then the Navy brought down the butcher knife."

Rosen stood up and looked at Nico Robin, who was crying.

"Honestly, if those archaeologists were willing to risk their lives to pursue the truth, I would admire them, but they are taking a big gamble."

"The entire O'Haraly, and the lives of all non-scholars, are on the line."

"Challenging the world order, whether successful or not, will always come at a price."

Rosen took the hat from Nico Robin's hand and put it on her head.

“Are the navy and the government not at fault?”

Nicole Robin clenched her fists, lowered her head and whispered, so that no one could see the expression on her face.

"Of course it's wrong."

"Otherwise, why do you think I'm standing in front of you?"

"The Navy Headquarters is independent, and justice is no longer subject to the order of the World Government, because I think the World Government is wrong."

"I cancelled the warrant against you, allowed you to explore history, and protected you from the World Government because I thought the Navy was wrong."

"Everything I just told you is to let you know the different roles played by the navy, government, scholars, and civilians in the O'Hara incident. I want you to hate it clearly."

This time, Rosen chose to answer Nico Robin directly and frankly admitted the Navy's fault:

"Although the O'Hara incident happened 10 years before I joined the Navy, since I chose the Navy, I will bear the responsibilities of everything the Navy has shouldered in the past."

"So, if you want to hate the navy, go ahead and hate it. If you want to retaliate against the navy, go ahead and retaliate against it."

"But there is one thing I must remind you of. Dreams are realities that only the strong are qualified to talk about."

"If you want to stand against the navy, you must be prepared to face me directly."

Done.

Rosen ignored Nico Robin and hooked his finger.

puff

Crocodile, who had been sunk into the sea countless times and chased by sea kings countless times, was finally pulled to the surface again.

As the domineering thread shrank like a fishing line, Crocodile was also pulled in front of him.

"To be the Navy's bait or the Navy's hound."

"You choose."

"Crocodale."

As Rosen spoke, he took out a pet collar from his pocket and threw it at Crocodile's feet.

"..."

Crocodile glared at Rosen fiercely at first, but after a moment, the ferocity on his face disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Rosen drew his Zanpakutō and struck casually.

Guanyin’s red girl now opens in seconds.

Crocodile, whose limbs were originally cut off, had his hands and feet reconnected to his shoulders and thighs, and then completely sewn up with silk-like marks.

It was like sewing the hands and feet of a rag doll, and at the same time the severed spine was repaired to its original state.

"One day, I will kill you!"

"Rosen."

Crocodile stood up and looked at Rosen deeply. The murderous intent in his voice was so strong that even all the water in the seas could not wash it away.

But after saying that, he bent down, picked up the collar on the ice, and put it around his neck.

Same as Dracule Mihawk, who is also one of the Shichibukai.

Between death and survival, Crocodile chose the latter.

It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I want Rosen to pay the price.

Until then, he would wear a collar and serve as a guard dog for the Navy.
