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

"what ever."

"But you only get one chance."

"That's all I can tolerate about pirates."

Faced with Crocodile's threat to kill him, Rosen chuckled calmly.

How could he possibly take seriously the barking of a stray dog?

Not to mention, he is a stray dog ​​wearing a collar.

"Humph!"

Crocodile didn't say anything when he heard this, but just snorted coldly. Then he ignored Nico Robin who had betrayed him not long ago and left alone without looking back.

Seeing this, Rosen stretched out his hand and pointed into the air.

Tsk

As a black line stretched horizontally and then extended up and down, the sky was suddenly torn apart, forming a black cavity leading to an unknown sea.

He took a step forward and was about to walk into the dark cavity when a voice stopped him.

"Rosen."

"If it was you, not Aokiji and Akainu, who were the navy that executed Ohara's Demon Slayer Order, what would you have done?"

Nico Robin looked up at Rosen who was about to step into the black cavity and asked word by word.

"My sword has been stained with the blood of many people, but not a single drop of it is the blood of civilians."

Rosen turned his back to Nico Robin and walked into the black cavity.

"is it?"

Nico Robin looked straight at Rosen who was walking towards the depths of the black cavity:

“Why weren’t you born in O’Hara’s time?”

"Rosen."

She murmured until Rosen was about to disappear from sight.

It seemed as if Nico Robin's whisper was heard. Just when the black cavity was about to close completely, a voice came from the depths of the black cavity.

"In the cruel world of pirates, facing the pursuit of the World Government and the Navy at the same time, an 8-year-old girl miraculously grew up safely."

"Is the World Government blind? Or is the Navy blind?"

"What do you think? Nico Robin."

Hearing this, Nico Robin's body trembled, and then she seemed to have figured something out. She slowly turned her head and looked at Kuzan, who had only spoken to her twice since they met.

She is not a thick-skinned idiot like Wang Luffy.

I didn't realize it in the past because I lived in a world full of betrayal and was full of hatred and fear towards Kuzan, so I didn't even think about it, but now that Rosen mentioned it.

Being a person with a keen eye and strong insight, she immediately realized that she was able to grow up safely over the years because there was someone who had been secretly and silently supporting her.

Withstood the pressure from the World Government and the Navy.

"Ah la la la la!"

First, Rosen revealed his secret of many years, and then he had to face Nico Robin with red eyes.

Kuzan reached out and grabbed his hair, looking helpless.

"is it you?"

As soon as Nico Robin saw Kuzan's reaction, she knew she was right.

"I just simply thought that if you were caught by the navy or the World Government, you would confess that I let you go privately that year."

Kuzan turned his head away, trying to make excuses.

"is it you?"

Nico Robin turned a deaf ear and asked on her own.

"Ah la la la la!"

"Rosen is really the real deal. Just leave if you want to. Why are you talking nonsense?"

"All right!"

Facing Nico Robin's somewhat "aggressive" gaze, Kuzan really pretended:

"I'm sorry, Robin."

"Although saying this makes me, a navy admiral, look like a loser, but I am not Rosen after all. I don't have the ability to change the navy by myself."

"Not to mention that I was only a vice admiral back then, even if I have become an admiral now, if I were to go back to those days, I would not be able to change anything in the end."

Ku exclaimed and raised his hands to Nico Robin, his tone revealing guilt and helplessness.

"..."

Nico Robin didn't say anything when she heard this. She just sat on the ice with her hands on her knees.

It turned out that Sauro did not lie to her.

There is already someone by my side who has been caring for me for many years.

just.

It was the Navy that destroyed O'Hara.

It was the navy that let him go.

It was the Navy that protected him for 10 years.

It is the navy that allows him to explore history, pursue the historical text, and protect him from persecution by the world government.

This made Nicole Robin, who knew everything, confused and at a loss.

"Robin is right."

"Rosen."

"It would have been great if you had been born in O'Hara's time."

Kuzan sighed.

He also knew that Nico Robin was in a very complicated mood, so he did not choose to leave, but stood aside with his arms folded across his chest.

Just like he had protected each other in the past ten years, he continued to protect the girl in front of him.

The only difference from before is.

In the past, even though he was a naval admiral, he could only choose to guard in secret.

Now, because Rosen suddenly appeared and made the Navy Headquarters independent, he can protect it openly.

Because Nico Robin is only a wanted criminal of the World Government, not of the Marine Headquarters.

……

……

the other side.

Rosen's journey through the dark chamber has come to an end.

Passing through the other end of the black cavity, what comes into view is a thick fog that covers the sky and the sun.

Both the sea and the sky were covered with thick fog that even the sunlight could hardly penetrate.

He stood at the exit of the black cavity and lowered his eyes. The thick fog was nothing in front of his observation Haki.

One aura after another rushed to appear before him.

Through the intensity of these auras and the thoughts he read, Rosen quickly locked onto the strongest one.

咻

Without any movement on his part, he disappeared from the exit of the black cavity, as if teleporting across the sky and sea. When he reappeared, he was already standing above a pirate ship that was as huge as an island and surrounded by a gloomy atmosphere.

"Moonlight Moria."

"Come see me."

Rosen's voice descended directly into the castle and into the heart of Moonlight Moriah.

Before, when facing Crocodile, he wanted to test Kyoka Suigetsu’s ability to see how much effect it could have on a pirate of the level of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

That's why he spent so much time and thought on Crocodile.

But facing Gekko Moriah, the goalkeeper among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Rosen didn't want to waste any effort on him.

“The sound came directly to me.”

"This is the highest level of observation Haki."

"Who is it?"

Moonlight Moria, who was originally sleeping soundly in a chair, was suddenly awakened.

Being forcibly awakened, his face did not look sleepy, but instead revealed visible fear.

As a pirate who has traveled to the New World and challenged the strongest creatures on land, sea and air, although his strength is declining day by day, he still has the necessary experience.

Even Kaido, who defeated his entire army back then, did not possess such observation Haki.

"I'm Rosen."

Just as Moonlight Moria was in doubt, the voice just now emerged from his mind again.

"It's him!"

"Finally, it's here?"

Moonlight Moria's expression changed again and again, and there was no longer the previous surprise, but instead gloom and anger.

With the two previous examples of Djordje Mihawk and Donquixote Doflamingo, he could guess with just a little thought what Rosen's purpose of coming to the Thriller Bark was.

"quick."

"Calling in the zombie group."

"Call Perona, Absalom and the others."

One side is just sitting there waiting to die.

On the one hand, you can give it a try.

None of the Seven Warlords of the Sea would willingly allow themselves to be collared. Even if they knew they were no match for their opponent, they would not surrender. Instead, they would gather all their strength and fight to the end.

Even if you know it's just a last-ditch struggle, you still have to struggle.
