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

late at night.

In the governor's office of the 1st branch, Borsalino sat on the sofa, taking the cup in front of him and drinking tea from time to time.

In addition to him, there were two other people in the office who did not leave.

That is Rosen's right arm.

Dor.

Douglas Barrett.

Ever since Rosen left Branch 1 several hours ago, the three of them have not left the office, waiting for his return.

"General Kizaru."

"Can I ask you something?"

Dole saw that Borsalino was worried and very uneasy, so he took the initiative to speak and broke the silence in the office.

As Rosen's adjutant, she needed to find out the way ahead for her boss in advance.

Even if we cannot pave the way forward, we must determine how many stumbling blocks there are in Rosen's way and who these stumbling blocks are.

"Tell me."

Borsalino glanced at Dole and saw that the other party was Rosen's adjutant, so he did not refuse.

"if."

"I mean, if the Governor finally finds out that it was not someone else who killed Mr. Zefa's family, but..."

"Dragon people."

As soon as Doer said this, the atmosphere in the entire office suddenly became extremely depressing.

Although the Navy Headquarters strives hard to maintain the purity of justice, it is undeniable that the Navy Headquarters is a subordinate agency of the World Government and was established by the World Government.

The two seem to be incompatible, but there is an inseparable connection between them.

For example, in the headquarters, many navy officers cannot distinguish whether they are upholding the justice of the navy or the justice of the world government.

Even the admirals of the navy are no exception to this.

"As expected, you are like your boss, and you will have like your subordinates."

"You! You are really the same as my junior."

"You always like to ask me some dangerous questions. Don't you know what justice I uphold?"

Although Borsalino was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but twitch his lips when faced with such a sharp question from Dole.

How could he answer?

As a naval admiral, his every word and action often represents the will of the headquarters.

If a wrong statement or even a wrong word reaches the ears of the Five Elder Stars, the problem is likely to be magnified infinitely.

Especially such a sharp question as Dorr's.

"Ambiguous justice."

"Of course I know."

"It's just that the Governor once told me that no matter how ambiguous a person is, there will always be a day when he will make a decisive decision, and no matter how ambiguous justice is, there will always be a time when it will be unwavering."

Dole picked up the fairness cup and poured the tea into the cup in front of Borsalino:

"Among the students taught by Mr. Zephyr, apart from the Governor-General, you, General Kizaru, are the only one who still thinks about him after graduation and keeps working for him till now."

"To be honest, I am also ashamed of my inaction. After all, I am also one of the students taught by Mr. Zefa."

"But now that things have come to this, my opinion is not important. Only the Governor-General and people like you who stand at the top of the Navy Headquarters and whose every move can determine the direction of the headquarters and justice are of vital importance."

She put down the justice cup.

"You can choose to avoid it today, but when you face it in the future, you won't be able to avoid it anymore."

"General Kizaru."

Dor spoke word by word.

"What about you?"

"What are you going to choose?"

Borsalino took the cup, took a sip of tea, and asked instead of answering.

"me?"

"I have already bet everything on the Governor."

"I firmly believe that he is a man who can change the Navy and even the world."

Dor looked out the window at the dark North Sea:

"When the Governor-General and I first arrived here, I remember clearly that the North Sea was in chaos and disorder, and was a pirate paradise second only to the Grand Line."

"And today, half a year later, Beihai has a new name."

"Pirate Cemetery."

"I would like to see the area of ​​this cemetery expanded to the east, south, and west seas, and then to the paradise of the Grand Line and the New World, to bury all the products of the Great Pirate Era."

"Before this day comes, I can be the enemy of the whole world, even though my personal power is insignificant in front of the world."

this moment.

Dole's eyes became more determined than ever before.

"Sometimes, I really want to be like you, always so clear about the future and justice."

"But the higher you stand, the more you can't help yourself."

“Ambiguity is sometimes not only a kind of justice, but also a responsibility.”

Borsalino shook his head, his tone very complicated.

When Doer heard this and was about to speak, a burst of purple light suddenly came from the night sky covering the North Sea outside the window, as if cutting the night sky in half.

Not only her, but Borsalino and Douglas Barrett also turned their heads and looked out the window at the same time.

Under the gazes of the three people, Rosen piloted the complete form of Susanoo and landed from the top of the sky to the first branch.

After a moment, the door was pushed open.

The tightly closed office door was pushed open by a hand, and then Rosen walked in from outside.

No one noticed that the sleeve of Borsalino's hand holding the teacup was wet with tea.

The hand holding the Kusanagi sword, which could have crushed the elderly Rayleigh to the point of gasping for breath, trembled for the first time.

It can be seen that he is very uneasy.

After all, Dor was not the only one who thought so. He also suspected that it was the Celestial Dragons who killed Zefa's family.

Therefore, the more he investigated the deaths of Zefa's family over the years, the more ambiguous Borsalino's justice became.

"I found it."

Facing Borsalino's complicated gaze behind his dark glasses, Rosen walked up to him and sat opposite him.

"Yes, a Celestial Dragon?"

Borsalino took a sip of tea, his voice revealing a complex and incomprehensible tone.

"It's still unclear who killed Zephyr's family."

"The only person we have found so far is the one whose whereabouts were wiped out by CIPHER POL."

"It's Bakingom."

Rosen's words made Borsalino feel relieved. At least he didn't have to make a choice between his own justice and the World Government.

"How could it be her?"

Borsalino suppressed his complicated emotions; he was a little confused.

The World Government went to great lengths just to erase Bagingom's whereabouts at a certain time.

In other words, it was Bajingom's whereabouts during the time when Zefa's family was murdered.

This is obviously inconsistent with common sense.

After all, given Bajingom's size, it's not worth the World Government doing this.

"CP0 is already investigating."

"I think there will be an answer soon."

"No matter what happens next, you don't need to interfere anymore, senior."

Rosen said calmly.

"..."

Borsalino's face froze, but his heart felt warm.

He knew that Rosen didn't want to be caught between the World Government and Navy Justice, making it difficult for him to be a good person on both sides.

Compared to Dole's request for an answer from him, Rosen's approach made him both moved and ashamed.

I am the senior!

The results of it?

The case of Mr. Zefa's family is being investigated by Rosen.

The name Bakingom was found from CP0 by Rosen who had set up the scheme for half a year.

Rosen had already thought about the sharp problems that he might encounter later.

From the moment we met.

Borsalino discovered that his junior always argued with himself and always handled problems by himself.

He would never delegate tasks to others, nor would he make things difficult for him, and even less would he force him to make a choice in the name of justice or by holding on to the ties of brotherhood.

“How shameful!”

"I should have worn a pair of darker glasses before I came here."

"but."

Borsalino took off his glasses and wiped the lenses with a tissue, as if to wipe away the dust on justice:

"Thanks."

"Junior."

"Your adjutant is absolutely right. You are someone who can change the navy and the world."

After a while.

He put his glasses back on and gave Rosen a bright smile.
