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

The foot of the Red Earth Continent.

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

The top of the red earth continent.

All entrances and exits of Marijoa were slowly closed.

After making sure 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 Marijoa, forbidding all Celestial Dragons to go out.

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

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

The Five Elder Stars, who held world power and symbolized world order, were forced to close their mountains because of Rosen, and all the Celestial Dragons never went out again.

From this moment on.

World nobility.

The inviolable authority of the Celestial Dragons has been shaken.

The power of the world is beginning to tilt towards the navy.

……

……

The coffin containing the body of Saint Chalmarco was delivered to the warship by the Guards of God and placed on the deck, where it remained for a day and a night.

Yes.

After opening Stella's coffin and taking back the body of his beloved, Gilde Tesoro knelt in front of Stella and kept talking to himself.

He told Stella everything that had happened to him since he escaped from Marijoa, no matter how big or small.

In other words, it is one day and one night.

The warship should have returned to the Navy Headquarters in about half a day, but because of Rosen's special instructions to reduce the speed of the ship to avoid anything disturbing the two people who had been reunited after a long separation, the warship sailed on the sea for more than a day before it saw the outline of Maryford.

At this time.

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

However, the outline of the Navy Headquarters came 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 is still one thing I haven't done.

Gilder Tezzolo stood up.

His strong physique meant that even after kneeling on the deck for a day and a night, his feet did not feel numb.

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

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

Although they had not seen each other for many years, he could still recognize the person at a glance unless the person had been reduced to ashes.

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

St. Charles Marco

He was once so high and mighty, the culprit who had taken away Gilde Tesoro's love and made him lose his smile, turning him into a slave who could not laugh. But now he had become a cold corpse, lying in front of him.

Seeing the scene that used to happen only in dreams, now turned into reality and appeared before his eyes, Gild Tesoro's first reaction should have been to laugh uncontrollably and feel extremely relieved, but he had a blank expression on his face, and his red eyes were filled with deep sadness.

"you are dead!"

"Charmaco, I should be happy that you're dead."

"Yeah! I'm really happy now, but why can't I smile?"

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

Gilder Tesoro spoke to Stella's body and told her about what happened after a day and a night. His voice became quite hoarse:

"The torture she endured cannot be erased."

"Her disappearance is irreversible."

"Even if I saw your dead body with my own eyes, she wouldn't come back."

"You, bastard."

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

The corners of Gild Tesoro's lips twitched, and his hoarse voice was filled with grief, anger and powerlessness.

If he had a choice, he would rather Stella live than have his revenge.

Yes.

If he had a choice, he would rather spend his entire life without being able to take revenge, just so that Stella could continue to live in this world.

砰

Gilde Tesoro suddenly clenched his fist, and gold turned into a fist that wrapped around his forearm, then a golden flame ignited, and he punched Chalmarco's body.

bang

This punch, delivered with all his strength, directly set Charmaco's head and body on fire.

Crushing bones and scattering ashes.

Put an end to your hatred.

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

The corners of his lips opened and closed, as if telling the other person that Chalmako had been killed, and that his soul in heaven could rest in peace.

Talking and talking.

Gilde Tesoro, who had experienced great sorrow and joy overnight, fell into a deep sleep leaning against Stella's coffin.

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

Even though Berry had eaten the Golden-Gold Fruit, was extremely wealthy, and owned more than 10% of the world's wealth, he had never slept so peacefully as he did at this moment.

嗖

A gentle sea breeze blew in, carrying a general's shawl, and gently fell on Gild Tesoro and Stella.

……

……

Maryford.

Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

pop

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 a knock on the door outside the office.

"Come in."

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

"Director Tianzheng."

"found it."

"Bakingom's whereabouts."

The naval captain who pushed the door open made Tian Zheng's eyes fixed as soon as he spoke.

"where is it?"

Tianzheng didn't even bother to look through the information in his hand. He 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 delay and hurriedly stepped forward and placed a photo on the other’s desk.

"Whitebeard?"

"really."

"You still chose to protect her."

Tianzheng looked towards the photo.

The background is on a pirate ship.

Beyond that is the silhouette of Bakingom.

Although the photo did not capture Edward Newgate or any other member of the Whitebeard Pirates, he was able to recognize the ship as the Moby Dick by capturing the deck in the photo.

"The matter concerning Bakingom will be kept secret for the time being."

Tianzheng pondered 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 Investigative Service, he headed straight for the towering fortress building in his sight.

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

The sign next to the gate reads the word Death.

pop

As a powerful senior figure in the Navy Headquarters, second only to the three admirals, Tenmayoshi knocked on the door and then stood behind it waiting, just like an ordinary marine.

That respectful attitude was like facing the Admiral directly.

"come in."

"Tian Zheng."

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

"General Rosen."

"excuse me."

"Here's what happened. The members of the Criminal Investigation Bureau sent to Whitebeard's territory took this photo."

After entering the room, Tian Zheng's eyes were fixed on Grossen at the first moment, and then he got straight to the point and stated his purpose directly:

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

"The main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates."

"That is to say, the Bajingom we have been looking for should be with Whitebeard and under his protection. That is why we have been unable to find the whereabouts of this woman."

Done.

Tianzheng handed the photo to Rosen.

"Is this your choice?"

"White beard."

Rosen glanced at the photo of Bakingom.

He was not surprised that Edward Newgate was sheltering the other party.

Although the two had fallen out a long time ago, the strongest man in the world would never ignore it according to his usual style.

He would have been surprised if Edward Newgate had not given shelter to Barkingom.

"..."

Seeing this, Tianzheng said nothing, but just waited quietly for the next instruction from the person in front of him.

"What's going on with Whitebeard?"

Rosen put down the photo in his hand.

"Based on the latest intelligence."

"Whitebeard has assembled all 43 affiliated pirate groups under his command."

"It looks like they are ready to go to war at any time."

Tianzheng glanced at Rosen.

Until now, the affiliated pirate groups under Edward Newgate have been scattered in different seas of the New World, but since Rosen captured Kaido alive in the admiral's inauguration ceremony, the world's strongest man has gathered all 43 affiliated pirate groups together.

He knew it.

The reason why the world's strongest man mobilized such a large army was all because of Rosen.

after all.

The Marine Headquarters has a king who needs the entire Four Emperors to fight against.

"is it?"

"That couldn't be better."

"It saves me from having to look for these fish that slipped through the net one by one."

Upon hearing this, Rosen was not worried at all, but smiled softly:

"Now that you're ready."

"So."

"It's time to put an end to this, 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 Marshal.

In just a few words, the decision to go to war with the world's strongest pirate group was finalized.

"really."

"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 intimidating the World Government, he also wanted Whitebeard and Big Mom to gather all their forces."

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

It was the Warring States Period.

If they decide to go to war with any of the Four Emperors, especially if the Navy is the attacking party rather than the defending party like in the Battle of Marineford, the Navy's best option is to march to the New World and catch the enemy off guard before Whitebeard gathers all of his pirate groups.

But Rosen is just the opposite.

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

All Celestial Dragons are forbidden to leave Marijoa.

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

Taming the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Bring back Stella and kill Charmaco.

The second is to make the Navy fully understand everything. The Navy is no longer a direct agency of the World Government, and they are 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 hegemon.

In this way, the navy will not be afraid whether facing the Four Emperors or the World Government in the future, and will even face these forces with a condescending attitude.

Of course.

There is one last reason.

That is to give Whitebeard enough time to gather his fighting strength, 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 general in history.
