"Mr. Rosen?"
Ginny's first reaction to being slashed for no reason was not anger, but confusion.
She never imagined that Rosen would harm her.
Moreover, after being stabbed, she not only didn't feel pain, but it seemed as if something inside her had been modified and destroyed at the same time.
A long-lost sense of ease filled my mind and body.
It was as if a tremendous burden had been lifted.
"Ginny, your body."
At this moment.
Gild Tesoro suddenly cried out in surprise.
What's wrong with my body?
"Isn't it just blue?"
Upon hearing this, Ginny subconsciously looked down at her arm.
Upon seeing this, her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
The substance that originally adhered to the skin like scales is disappearing at an alarming rate.
At the same time, the blue skin is also regaining its original healthy color.
Within seconds, all of Ginny's ailments related to the Sapphire Scales disappeared, as if she had never been sick at all.
"The scales are gone?"
"And the blue skin has returned to its original state."
"Is it because of the slash Mr. Rosen delivered to me just now?"
Ginny was initially surprised and delighted, but then she realized what was happening.
All the changes in himself occurred after Rosen unleashed that slash.
Although it was unbelievable, she was still convinced that she could recover, all thanks to Rosen's knife.
Sizzle
Having figured out the cause and effect, Ginny was about to express her gratitude when Rosen reached out and lightly tapped the air in front of her.
Space torn apart.
A Garganta leading to an unknown sea area opened instantly.
"The end of the Garganta leads to the Sorbet Kingdom."
"Now that you've been given a new lease on life, go and embrace your future with Bonney."
"I have business to attend to in Mary Geoise, so I won't see you off."
Rosen interrupted Ginny several times as she tried to express her gratitude.
Seeing this, Ginny said nothing more, because she knew that no amount of words could express her gratitude to Rosen.
This is the man who saved his own and Bonney's lives, and changed their fate time and time again.
If the Celestial Dragons forcibly altered her fate back then, pushing her into an abyss of no return, then now Rosen has simply flicked his fingers, reshaping her and Bonney's destinies and sending them back to a bright and promising future.
Bang bang bang
Ginny, holding Bonney in her arms, knelt on the deck and kowtowed three times to Rosen.
To prevent Rosen from using Armament Haki to push her up from a distance or pull her up again, she wrapped her knees with the highest level of Armament Haki before kneeling down on the warship's deck.
Using his Observation Haki, Rosen sensed Ginny's inner thoughts and her resolute determination. After a moment's hesitation, he ultimately decided not to stop her as he had done before.
"Go."
Rosen glanced at the Garganta hanging in front of Ginny.
"Thanks."
With tears in her eyes, Ginny said something to Rosen, then turned to look at Gild Tesoro.
"When I return from Mary Geoise, I will definitely visit you and Bonney in the Sorbet Kingdom."
"Although I can't be Bonney's father, I can at least be her godfather, right?"
"Come here, Bonney! This is a longevity lock that your godfather gave you."
Gild Tesoro reached out and gently touched Bonney's chubby little face, then took off a golden ring from his finger and used the power of the Gol-Gol Fruit to shape the golden ring into a golden lock, which he then placed in Bonney's arms.
At this moment.
Gild Tesoro also remembered.
Back in Mary Geoise, Ginny had told herself that she also had someone she liked, but she had rejected him.
The reason I mentioned raising Bonney was because I assumed the man who rejected Ginny was either married or had no further connection with her.
But now, after Rosen's words and seeing Ginny's reaction when she mentioned Bartholomew Kuma, Gild Tesoro knew perfectly well that Ginny still cared about him.
In response to this.
He could only sincerely wish Ginny well and silently pray that the man wouldn't despise her because she had once been a slave of the Celestial Dragons.
"I couldn't have gotten it."
"This is Bonney's good fortune!"
Ginny burst into tears of joy.
"Take care of yourself."
Gild Tesoro patted Ginny on the shoulder.
He had no chance to be with Stella in this lifetime, and the only thing he could do was to seek justice for Stella so that her soul could rest in peace.
so.
He sincerely hoped that Ginny, who shared a similar background with him, could find a loving partner.
"You and Mr. Rosen too."
After Ginny stepped into the Garganta, she seemed to remember something and quickly turned to look at Rosen:
"Mr. Rosen, I know that it is powerful, but Mary Geoise is, after all, the headquarters of the World Government. Having spent some years there, I have also learned some secrets that are not known to others."
"The Celestial Dragons don't really rely on CP0, but on the Knights of God."
"It is said that the organization's supreme commander once fought the world's strongest man when he was young, and left a permanent scar on his body. He is likely a king with combat power surpassing that of the Five Elders."
"In addition, every member of the Knights of God is an elite from a different Celestial Dragon family, possessing the world's best resources and fruit abilities. You must be careful on your trip."
Ginny told Rosen everything she knew in one go.
"That's thoughtful of you."
"Take care, you and Bonney."
Rosen nodded upon hearing this.
"I will."
Goodbye then.
"Mr. Rosen, Tesoro, and all the Marines."
"Ginny, I'm so grateful."
Ginny gave Rosen one last grateful look before walking into the depths of the Garganta.
"..."
Gild Tesoro kept watching Ginny's figure until she disappeared from sight before turning his gaze away.
At that moment, he had already made a decision in his heart.
That is, after the Mary Geoise trip, no matter what connections we have or how much money we spend, we must find the man who rejected Ginny back then.
Then.
Try your best to bring this unfortunate couple together.
Gild Tesoro really didn't want to see Ginny and her daughter, already covered in wounds, suffer any more pain, whether physical or mental.
...
...
The Marine Headquarters is not far from Mary Geoise.
After all, the reason why the Five Elders chose Mary Geoise as the location of the Marine Headquarters was to serve as the face of the World Government and also to protect the Mary Geoise defense line.
Furthermore, Rosen was aboard the Marine Headquarters' most advanced warship.
In less than half a day.
A towering, cloud-piercing red earth continent stood before Rosen and his companions.
Directly in front of the warship, there is a stairway to heaven that runs from the foot of the Red Earth to the entrance to Mary Geoise.
Obviously.
This staircase to heaven was used by the Celestial Dragons, CP0, and the Knights of God to enter and exit Mary Geoise.
Of course.
Given the height of the Red Line, the length of the stairs, and the frailty of most Celestial Dragons, it's impossible for them to enter and exit Mary Geoise on foot; they simply don't have the stamina.
Therefore, this staircase is like an elevator; it will automatically rise once you step on it.
Besides that,
Centered around the Stairway to Heaven, several ports were built around it for mooring warships.
"We've arrived."
"Rosen."
After the warship docked at the port with the staircase to heaven, Gion picked up the Justice Coat hanging on the coat rack and walked up to Rosen.
Let's go!
"We should go and see him."
"The Five Elders."
Rosen rose from his chair, and with Gion's help, put on the Justice Coat before stepping down from the warship.
Gion, with Gild Tesoro following closely behind.
The three of them crossed the harbor and came to the Stairway to Heaven. Then they stepped onto the stairs.
Clang
No sooner had Rosen and the others landed on the steps than the entire staircase began to rise toward the summit of the Red Earth.
As time goes by, the ascent speed has steadily increased, but it is still controlled at a speed that allows people standing on the stairs to maintain their balance without needing a handrail.
After a while, the speed at which the stairs ascended began to decrease.
The moment the stairway to heaven came to a complete stop, a city perched atop the red earth, with a territory comparable in size to a small country, came into view of Rosen, Gion, and Gild Tesoro.
From a distance.
This colossal building stands tall and majestic, showcasing the power and honor of being at the pinnacle of the world.
A closer look.
This enormous building, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, is magnificent and resembles a paradise of the gods.
It is the headquarters of the World Government.
Mary Geoise.
As Rosen and the others looked around, they saw five figures already standing at the entrance.
Except for one person who looked middle-aged, the other four all looked like old people, but without exception, none of them had the slightest sense of old age, frailty, or decrepitude.
On the contrary, each of them exuded a powerful aura of dominance.
Even the weakest one possessed an aura far surpassing that of powerful pirates like Marco and King, who were first mates of Yonko.
It's equivalent to having a goalkeeper in the royal youth team.
certainly.
In terms of overall strength, the Five Elders, with their near-immortal regenerative abilities, are more troublesome than most generals and emperors.
"The Five Elders!"
When Gion and Gild Tesoro saw the five people standing at the door, their pupils contracted slightly.
Although it was their first formal meeting, they recognized the five people at a glance.
The supreme ruler of the world government.
"The Five Elders, who stand at the pinnacle of the Celestial Dragons."
"Everyone has made an appearance."
Gion withdrew her gaze from the Five Elders and fixed it on Rosen.
She knew.
The entire ruling class of the World Government mobilized and arrived at the entrance to Mary Geoise ahead of time, solely to prepare for Rosen's arrival.
Only the most powerful general in history has this kind of influence, enough to make the Five Elders personally come out and wait for him in advance.
It is both a sign of respect and recognition, and a sign of vigilance and apprehension.
Only when the Five Elders join forces can they rival Rosen.
"Rosen."
The moment Rosen stepped onto the red clay, all five elders focused their attention on him.
They had forgotten how many years it had been since they had been so wary of a non-Celestial Dragon.
No.
It should be said.
They have never been so wary of a non-Celestial Dragon as they are now.
This is the first time since I was born.
"We've finally met."
"The Five Elders".
Rosen strolled leisurely to the Five Elders.
It was as if there was some kind of tacit understanding between the two parties.
He only brought Gion and Gild Tesoro with him, and the Five Elders only brought a few CP0 members with them, without any Yonko-level combatants.
One side is confidence that even if the world government mobilizes its entire force, it can still escape unscathed.
One side is certain that this is the headquarters of the World Government, and even the most powerful admiral in history wouldn't dare to cause trouble.
That's why.
Marine and World Government.
During the initial meeting between Rosen and the Five Elders, none of them brought any Emperor-level combat power, lest they tell the other party that they were afraid before the negotiations even began.
"From ancient times to the present."
"No matter what power, race, or country, there has never been anyone worthy of our personal involvement in the battle."
"It's only you, Rosen."
Looking at the Marine officer in front of him, who was not even twenty years old, frighteningly young, yet standing at an unbelievable height, Saint Topman Warcury was completely baffled.
Why could the Marine Headquarters, with its strict hierarchy and numerous rules and regulations, produce such a peerless overlord who surpasses Roger and Rocks?
"Should I say that it is truly an honor?"
Upon hearing this, Rosen chuckled lightly.
"You should indeed be proud to have come to this holy place and been personally received by the five of us."
The moment Saint Jaygarcia Saturn spoke, a strong aura of dominance filled the entrance to Mary Geoise.
"Yeah?"
Rosen was not angry when he heard this.
"Yes."
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter spoke slowly and deliberately, displaying the aura of a supreme ruler standing at the pinnacle of the Celestial Dragons.
His idea was simple.
The idea was to suppress Rosen's arrogance before any negotiations even began.
This way, we can better handle any subsequent negotiations or unexpected changes.
"It is something to be proud of that we have come to Mary Geoise and that the Five Elders have personally taken part in the battle."
"So."
"What if we flattened Mary Geoise?"
Rosen's gaze swept over the five elders, including Saint Topman Warcury and Saint Shepherd Ju Peter.
"Can you do it?"
Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro's gaze was like a knife, carrying a chilling sharpness, piercing directly into Rosen's eyes.
"Give it a try?"
Rosen met Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro's gaze with a slight smile.
"Then let's give it a try."
Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro was not to be outdone.
hiss
As soon as he finished speaking, his pupils turned a sinister crimson, and then a Conqueror's Haki, carrying streaks of black and red lightning, instantly spread out, compressing the air in all directions into ripples like a tide.
At the same time.
Rosen's eyes slowly began to gleam with a chilling, scarlet light.
A powerful Conqueror's Haki, even stronger than that of Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, surged forth like a giant, earth-shattering hand, surrounding the raging black and red lightning, pressing down on Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro's sweeping Conqueror's Haki.
A meeting of kings.
Especially when they first meet, they will release their Conqueror's Haki as a way of greeting each other.
As powerful figures at the Emperor level and the supreme rulers of the World Government, the Five Elders are also aware of this rule.
However, in the past, no one could ever get close to them.
King of the World.
Rocks D. Xebec?
no.
One Piece.
Gol D. Roger?
It still doesn't work.
Now, Rosen has personally come to Mary Geoise and has summoned all five elders.
This led to the current clash of Conqueror's Haki.
This was also because the next step was to negotiate between the Marine Headquarters and the World Government, not to engage in battle. Therefore, both Rosen and Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro tacitly refrained from using Advanced Armament Haki and instead chose to release Conqueror's Haki to create a collision from a distance. Otherwise, the momentum would have been even greater and the scene even more spectacular.
Of course.
Aside from exchanging greetings, both Rosen and the Five Elders harbored the same thought.
That is to probe the other party's capabilities.
The clash of Conqueror's Haki is the best way to test each other.
With such thoughts in mind.
The kingly aura symbolizing the pinnacle of the Celestial Dragons, and the kingly aura that surpasses even the Emperors, has encountered an unprecedented and violent clash.
