Sailing: Weapon Fruit, I Rub The Flow Blade With My Hands

At the foot of the Red Earth Continent.

The warship, like a fortress on the sea, broke through the waves and sailed away from the port with the wind.

At the top of the Red Earth Continent.

All the entrances and exits of Mary Geoise were slowly closed.

After confirming that Rosen kept his promise and left the Red Earth Continent by boat, the Five Elders did not dare to go back on their word and directly closed Mary Geoise, prohibiting all Celestial Dragons from going out.

As for how long this situation will last, no one knows.

The only thing that is certain is that the world will be in uproar soon.

The Five Elders, who hold the world's authority and symbolize the world's order, were forced to close the mountain because of Rosen, and all Celestial Dragons will no longer go out.

From this moment on.

World nobles.

The Celestial Dragons' awe-inspiring and inviolable authority has been shaken.

The world's authority is also beginning to tilt towards the navy.

…

…

The coffin containing Saint Charmaco’s body was sent to the warship by the Guards of God and placed on the deck. It was there for a day and a night.

Yes.

After opening Stella’s coffin and taking back the remains of his beloved, Gilder Tezoro knelt in front of Stella and kept talking to himself.

He told Stella everything he had experienced since escaping from Marijoa.

He talked for a day and a night.

The warship, which was supposed to return to the Navy Headquarters in about half a day, also slowed down the speed due to Rosen’s special order to try not to disturb the two who had been reunited after a long separation. Therefore, the warship sailed on the sea for more than a day before seeing the outline of Mariford.

At this time.

Gild Tesoro, who had been talking nonstop for a long time, finally finished telling about his experience in the four seas and the Grand Line since he left Marijoa, but he still looked unsatisfied.

However, the outline of the Navy Headquarters had come into view, and he, who had been immersed in the joy of reuniting with Stella and completely forgotten the passage of time, finally came to his senses.

There was still one thing he hadn't done.

Gild Tesoro stood up.

His strong physique prevented his feet from going numb even after kneeling on the deck for a day and a night.

He walked step by step to another coffin, reached out and grabbed the coffin lid, and opened it with force.

Click

As the coffin lid was opened, Gild Tesoro saw a body with its head cut off and then put together again.

Although they had not seen each other for many years, he could recognize it at a glance unless the other party had been crushed to ashes.

It was the Celestial Dragon who changed his and Stella's fate with a flick of his finger, and also destroyed his and Stella's life.

Saint Charmaco.

He was once so high and mighty, and the culprit who took away Gild Tezoro's love, made him lose his smile, and became a slave who could not laugh. Now he has become a cold corpse, placed in front of him.

Seeing the scene that only happened in dreams in the past, now it has become a reality and presented in front of him. Gild Tezoro's first reaction should have been to laugh wildly and feel extremely relieved, but he had a blank expression on his face, and his red eyes were filled with deep sadness.

"You're dead!"

"Charmarco, you're dead, I should be happy."

"Yes! I'm really happy now, but why can't I laugh?"

"That's right! Because even if you are ordered to be executed by the Five Elders, even if I get my revenge, Stella will not be resurrected."

Gild Tezoro told Stella's body about a day and a night, and his voice became quite hoarse:

"The torture she endured cannot be erased."

"Her disappearance cannot be reversed."

"Even if I see your body with my own eyes, she won't come back."

"You, bastard."

"So what if I see you beheaded? My Stella won't come back."

Gild Tezoro's lips moved, and his hoarse voice was full of grief and powerlessness.

If there is a choice, he would rather Stella live than get his revenge.

Yes.

If he had a choice, he would rather not be able to take revenge for the rest of his life, just to let Stella continue to live in this world.

Bang

Gild Tezoro suddenly clenched his fist, and the gold turned into a fist to wrap his forearm, and then ignited a golden flame, and punched on the body of Charmaco.

Boom

This full-strength punch directly burned Charmaco's head and body together.

Grind the bones and raise the ashes.

Put an end to his hatred.

After completely burning the opponent's body with the golden fire, Gild Tezoro didn't want to waste a second on Charmaco.Marco's body, he turned back to Stella's side, and then sat next to her.

His lips opened and closed, as if telling her that she knew that Charmarco was killed, and her soul in heaven could rest in peace.

As he spoke.

Overnight, Gild Tezoro, who had experienced great sorrow and joy, leaned against Stella's coffin and fell asleep.

His face showed a peace of mind and relief that he had never had before.

Even if he ate the Golden Fruit, had a huge fortune, and owned more than 10% of the world's Berry, he had never slept so peacefully as at this moment.

Whoosh

A gentle sea breeze blew in, carrying a general's shawl, gently falling on Gild Tezoro's body and covering Stella's body.

...

...

Mariford.

Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

Pah Pah

Dark horse Tianzheng, who was looking through the intelligence of the major forces in the Grand Line, said without raising his head when he heard the knock on the door outside the office.

"Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the closed office door was immediately opened.

"Director Tianzheng."

"Found it."

"Bakingom's whereabouts."

The naval colonel who pushed the door open made Tianzheng's eyes freeze as soon as he spoke.

"Where?"

Tianzheng didn't bother to look through the intelligence in his hand, and immediately looked up and asked the colonel who came to report.

"Whitebeard's territory."

Seeing Tianzheng's huge reaction, the colonel did not dare to neglect it, and hurriedly stepped forward and put a photo on the other's desk.

"Whitebeard?"

"Sure enough."

"You, still chose to protect her."

Tianzheng looked at the photo.

The background was on a pirate ship.

In addition, there was the silhouette of Bakingom.

Although the photo did not capture Edward Newgate or other members of the Whitebeard Pirates, he still recognized the ship as the Moby Dick by capturing the deck in the photo.

"The matter about Bajingom will be kept secret for the time being."

Tenzheng hesitated for a moment, first gave an order to the colonel in front of him, then stood up, grabbed the coat of justice hanging on the hanger, and quickly left the office.

After leaving the Naval Criminal Investigation Bureau, he went straight to the towering fortress building in his sight.

After crossing the street, taking the elevator to the top floor of the fortress building, he stood at the door of an office.

The sign next to the door read the word Death.

Pah Pah

As a powerful senior official of the Navy Headquarters, a hero second only to the three admirals, Tenzheng knocked on the door like an ordinary marine, and then stood behind the door waiting.

That respectful posture was like facing the Admiral of the Navy directly.

"Come in."

"Tianzheng."

After hearing the voice coming from the office, Tianzheng pushed the door open.

"General Rosen."

"Excuse me."

"Here's the thing, the members of the Criminal Investigation Bureau sent to Whitebeard's territory took this photo."

After entering the door, Tianzheng's eyes were fixed on Rosen for the first time, and then he got straight to the point and stated his purpose directly:

"Although there is only the figure of Bajinggorm in the photo, judging from the background in the photo, it should be the Moby Dick."

"The main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates."

"In other words, Bajinggorm, whom we have been looking for, should be by Whitebeard's side and protected by him, so we have never been able to find the whereabouts of this woman."

After speaking.

Tianzheng handed the photo to Rosen.

"Is this your choice?"

"Whitebeard."

Rosen glanced at Bajinggorm in the photo.

He was not surprised by Edward Newgate's practice of protecting the other party.

Although the two had already fallen out, the strongest man in the world would never ignore it.

He would be surprised if Edward Newgate did not protect Bakingom.

"..."

Tenzheng saw this and did not speak, but quietly waited for the next instruction from the person in front of him.

"What's the situation with Whitebeard?"

Rosen put down the photo in his hand.

"From the latest information."

"Whitebeard has gathered 43 affiliated pirate groups under his command."

"It seems that he is ready to go to war at any time."

Tenzheng glanced at Rosen.

All along, the affiliated pirate groups under Edward Newgate were scattered in different waters of the New World, but since Rosen captured Kaido alive in the admiral's inauguration ceremony, the strongest man in the world has gathered 43 affiliated pirate groups.

He knew it in his heart.

The strongest man in the world mobilized so many troops because of Rosen.

After all.

The Navy Headquarters has a person who needsIt takes the entire Four Emperors to fight against the king.

"Really?"

"That's great."

"It saves me from looking for these escaped fish one by one."

After hearing this, Rosen was not worried, but smiled:

"Since you are ready."

"Then."

"It's time to make a conclusion, Whitebeard."

He reached out and knocked on the table.

No need to communicate with other admirals and senior officials, no need to report to the Navy Admiral.

In a few words, the matter of going to war with the world's strongest pirate group was finalized.

"Sure enough."

"He did it on purpose."

"After issuing a challenge to Whitebeard and Big Mom, he did not immediately send troops to the New World. In addition to taming the remaining Seven Warlords of the Sea and deterring the World Government, he also wanted Whitebeard and Big Mom to gather all their forces."

Tenzheng heard this, and his heart moved, and he completely confirmed his previous guess.

It was Sengoku.

If they were determined to go to war with any of the Four Emperors, especially if the Navy was the attacker, rather than the defender like in the Battle of Marineford, then the Navy's best option would be to attack the New World before Whitebeard assembled all of his pirate groups and catch them off guard.

But Rosen did the exact opposite.

Instead of doing so, he first put collars on the remaining Seven Warlords of the Sea, then took Gild Tesoro and Gion to Marijoa to intimidate the Celestial Dragons, forcing the Five Elders to close the mountain and the door, and refuse visitors.

Forbid all Celestial Dragons to leave Marijoa.

Tianzheng understood that Rosen did this, first, to fulfill the promise he made to Warring States and Gild Tesoro.

Tame the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Bring back Stella and kill Charmaco.

Second, to make the Navy understand everything thoroughly, that the Navy is no longer a direct agency of the World Government, and is no longer even on an equal footing.

The Navy is superior to the government.

Justice is above the authority of the Celestial Dragons.

It changed the Navy's mental outlook in one fell swoop and established the authority of the Navy Headquarters as the world's hegemon.

In this way, the Navy will be fearless whether facing the Four Emperors or the World Government in the future, and will even look down on these forces.

Of course.

There is one last reason.

That is to give Whitebeard enough time to gather his fighting power, and then completely wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates at their peak in one fell swoop.

This is the spirit and style that belongs only to the most powerful admiral in history.
