boom
Bang bang
As Rosen unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, manipulating the black lightning to form a towering palm, like a five-fingered thunder mountain, it crushed the aura of the world government's supreme ruler.
The Black Thunder Bull Demon and the Black Thunder Sand Worm, formed from the Conqueror's Haki of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn and Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, knelt down one after another amidst a series of earth-shattering roars.
This is not the end, but the beginning.
Bang
Like a thunderbolt from the sky, a deafening roar swept across Mary Geoise, shaking the red earth and overwhelming the atmosphere, creating a massive, continuous shockwave.
then.
The black lightning formed by Saint Marcus Mars's Conqueror's Haki, Itsumade, had wings, but it could not fly. It could only touch the ground with its feet and its head on the red earth, creating a towering dust column.
Like the Black Thunder Bull Demon and the Black Thunder Sandworm.
Even the mighty Saint Marcus Mars couldn't prostrate himself, facing Rosen in a submissive posture.
It's like a subject kneeling and kowtowing to an emperor.
This scene.
This made Saint Marcus Mars's face turn extremely gloomy, but there was nothing he could do.
Bang
A deafening roar, like thunder, suddenly exploded.
Like the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon, it was deafening.
Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro's expression was exactly the same as Saint Marcus Mars's, gloomy and dark, especially his eyes, which revealed intense humiliation and anger.
Because of the Conqueror's Haki he released, the horse bones formed by streaks of black lightning bent at the knees and stuck to the Red Earth, smashing the hard rock layers and creating shocking spiderweb-like cracks.
Boom
The clash of the six Conqueror's Haki created a powerful impact that caused the Red Line, which had stood across the sea for countless years, to tremble slightly.
"Rosen."
At this moment.
Saint Topman Warcury shouted sharply, seemingly warning Rosen.
However,
The response was a deafening roar, like a raging storm.
Bang
The Black Lightning Seal, formed by Saint Topman Warcury's Conqueror's Haki, collapsed to its knees and kowtowed, just like the other four, with a thunderous roar.
The five elders stand side by side.
The five elders, radiating Conqueror's Haki, knelt side by side.
This scene left the Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise, who were secretly observing this unprecedented clash of Conqueror's Haki, utterly shocked.
"Want to give it a try?"
"The Five Elders".
"You guys are really no good!"
After defeating all five elders and forcing them to their knees, Rosen's gaze swept over the five saints—Saint Topman Warcury, Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, Saint Marcus Mars, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, and Saint Jaygarcia Saturn—before he chuckled and said...
As the supreme ruler of the World Government, he stands at the pinnacle of all Celestial Dragons.
Faced with Rosen's humiliating words, they clenched their fists, their killing intent surging, but without exception, they could only try their best to restrain themselves.
A clash of Conqueror's Haki.
It's a way for champions to greet each other, and also a way to test each other.
If you lack the courage and spirit to match others, what else is there to say?
Unless war breaks out, and everyone goes all out for a real, bloody battle, the Five Elders never intended to start a war. After witnessing Rosen's Conqueror's Haki, they have been doing their utmost to suppress any thoughts of war.
Because they discovered that Rosen's Conqueror's Haki was far stronger than they had anticipated.
Even though the other party dared to come to Mary Geoise with only Gion and Gild Tesoro, the Five Elders were still very wary.
Bang
Seeing that the outcome of the clash of Conqueror's Haki was decided, Rosen did not continue this meaningless confrontation.
He glanced at the five black lightning monsters that were kneeling on the ground, still resisting his Conqueror's Haki, and then a thought struck him.
Boom
A series of thunderclaps echoed across the sea of clouds, shaking it to the point where it surged and churned like a grand voyage.
then.
A bolt of Conqueror's Haki-colored black lightning, comparable in size to a colossal sea king, tore through the boundless sea of clouds and struck the black lightning palm that was pressing down on the five imposing monsters, as if a divine punishment had descended from the heavens.
Boom
Irrigated by the domineering lightning pillar that descended from the sky, the black lightning palm not only instantly increased in size, but the pressure it emitted also directly distorted the surrounding atmosphere into a vortex.
Sizzle
Ox-demon, insect killer, true heaven of the tsunami, horse bone and sealed boar.
The five monsters were crushed and returned to their original form, reverting to their initial state of Conqueror's Haki, which was a cluster of irregular black lightning. Then, the black lightning hand continued to exert force, carrying the overwhelming pressure of domineering power that crushed everything, and directly pressed the clusters of black lightning that had been returned to their original form into the peak of the red earth.
Click
As the eerie black lightning dissipated, a clearly visible handprint appeared at the entrance to Mary Geoise and the top of the Red Line.
Having endured the harsh climate of the Grand Line for countless years, whether it be wind and rain, ice and snow, or thunder and lightning, the Red Earth Continent, which remained indestructible, could not withstand Rosen's outward release of Conqueror's Haki. It was shattered and formed a handprint with a diameter of over 500 meters.
"Hiss!"
As Saint Topman Warcury looked at the dented palm print in front of him, his aged face twitched involuntarily, and he couldn't help but gasp.
Those without Conqueror's Haki will only see a single spot on Rosen's leopard through a narrow tube, unable to see the whole leopard.
The king with the aura of a conqueror, looking at Rosen's domineering presence, was like a frog in a well looking at the sky, feeling that although the sky was high and unattainable, it was as small as the opening of the well.
Only a Conqueror's Haki master of superior level knows the vast difference between himself and Rosen, a chasm that is difficult to cross, as disparate as a mountain and a valley.
As for Saint Topman Warcury, the only Celestial Dragon among the Five Elders to possess superior Conqueror's Haki, he is also the only one among the Five Elders who can intuitively understand the vast difference between himself and Rosen, as if they were worlds apart.
"Shinigami Admiral".
"It lives up to its reputation."
"We've really seen it all today."
Having understood that Rosen's Conqueror's Haki had reached a level beyond his current level, Saint Topman Warcury first gave the other five elders a wink, and then decisively brought this clash of Conqueror's Haki to a close.
We've already lost face; unless war breaks out, any further entanglement is pointless.
Since we are outmatched in spirit, and even with the combined strength of the Five Elders, we were still utterly crushed by Rosen alone, let's just get straight to the point.
"Welcome to Mary Geoise."
"Please!"
Saint Topman Warcury first made way for Rosen, then led the way.
The five elders made their way.
This is the result of the clash of Conqueror's Haki, overwhelming the five supreme rulers of the World Government.
If we win, then welcome! Make way for us.
Whether you lose or are evenly matched, that's another outcome.
Seeing that the Five Elders had conceded defeat, Rosen did not press his advantage. Instead, he stepped into Mary Geoise.
He has come today not to start a war, but to negotiate.
The initial purpose of the clash of Conqueror's Haki was to help the Five Elders distinguish between the good and the bad, recognize the primary and secondary factors, and thus gain the upper hand in the subsequent negotiations.
Since the objective has been achieved and a full-scale war will not break out, there is no need to be unforgiving.
Otherwise, there's no point in continuing the discussion.
"He single-handedly crushed the spirit of the Five Elders in a head-on confrontation with five opponents."
Gion remained silent, following behind Rosen, her beautiful eyes fixed on his back, filled with shock and admiration.
"The Five Elders".
"They've given in once again."
Gild Tesoro's heart was pounding with excitement.
Before meeting Rosen, let alone the Five Elders, even a random Celestial Dragon was extremely arrogant, regarding the hundred races of the sea as slaves.
What about now?
Even the Five Elders, who stand at the pinnacle of the Celestial Dragons, had no choice but to back down time and time again when facing Rosen.
Before.
He only dared to dream that one day he could go to Mary Geoise and bring back Stella's body.
But now.
No need to dream anymore, it's something we can achieve in reality.
even.
Because of Rosen, some things that I never even dared to dream of can now be experienced in reality.
for example.
Make the Celestial Dragons pay the price for Stella's death.
With that thought in mind, Gild Tesoro quickly followed, trailing Rosen like a shadow.
He had already sworn an oath.
In this lifetime, I will dedicate everything I have to follow, support, and assist this man.
...
Pangaea Castle.
Located in the heart of Mary Geoise.
Apart from the Five Elders, who stand at the pinnacle of the Celestial Dragons, only members of the Knights of God are qualified to reside in Pangaea Castle.
Other beings, such as ordinary Celestial Dragons and even their clan leaders, are only allowed to live in areas outside of Pangaea Castle.
Even entering Pangaea Castle requires submitting an application and obtaining the approval of the Five Elders before entry is permitted.
And now.
Despite not being a Celestial Dragon, and being greeted and guided by the Five Elders, Rosen entered Pangaea Castle and arrived at the room symbolizing the authority of the world.
The Room of Authority.
After entering.
Rosen was completely at ease, as if he were back in his own home. He walked to the largest sofa as if no one else was there and sat down.
Upon seeing this, the five elders froze in their expressions and movements.
The biggest sofa is gone.
There weren't enough sofas in the Room of Authority to go around, so often there were only four people, with one of them standing.
As for why not add some sofas and chairs.
It's very simple.
Imu did it on purpose.
The purpose of using the number of sofas in the Room of Authority is to keep the five members of the Saint Topman Warcury constantly vigilant, so that even the supreme ruler of the World Government cannot sit in this position forever.
Even the so-called Five Elders will eventually be eliminated.
If you can't do your job well, then stand there.
If that still doesn't work, then find someone else.
They are not qualified to be among the Five Elders, not even qualified to stand in the Room of Authority.
And now.
Rosen took the biggest sofa.
In other words...
Of the Five Elders, at least four will have to stand throughout the negotiations.
The dialogue has shifted from being on equal footing to a situation where subordinates are addressing superiors.
Seeing this, Saint Topman Warcury did not reprimand Rosen, but instead walked expressionlessly to the only remaining single sofa in the Room of Authority.
Seeing this, the other five elders were displeased, but they did not argue.
The Five Elders may seem to be on equal footing, but in reality, there are differences in their status.
The determination of status is not based on surname or seniority, but on the strength of one's abilities.
As the strongest of the Five Elders, Saint Topman Warcury had often monopolized a three-seater sofa in the past. Now that he was sitting on the only remaining single sofa, the others could only endure it and choose to stand.
Then a bizarre scene unfolded.
Rosen occupied the three-seater sofa all by himself, with Gild Tesoro and Gion standing behind him.
Saint Topman Warcury sat on a single sofa, surrounded by the other five elders, who stood around him.
Normally, if only the Five Elders are in the Room of Authority and no one else is present, there's nothing wrong with just standing there.
However, in this context, this comparison is appropriate.
It was as if Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, and others, who had been the Five Elders who were talking to Rosen, had become his guards, inexplicably a step below Rosen, and now on the same level as Gion and Gild Tesoro.
"Speak."
"Rosen."
"What brings you here specifically?"
Saint Topman Warcury could understand the humiliation and anger of Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro and the others behind him. In order to save face for them and end the negotiation as soon as possible, he got straight to the point as soon as he sat down, without any intention of being polite or saying a few pleasantries.
Having reached the same level of status and power as Rosen, and being on opposing sides, they were bound to clash sooner or later.
All the polite words are superfluous.
It's better to get straight to the point.
If we can talk, then we will.
If we can't talk, then we'll go to war.
Although there was a tacit understanding between Rosen and the Five Elders that before the pirates, or rather the Four Emperors, left the scene, the Marine and the government would restrain each other and maintain a superficial balance, this was not permanent. Once any change occurred, this fragile balance would be broken instantly.
Whether it's Rosen, the Five Elders, or even the true masters of the Celestial Dragons.
Imu.
Their ideas were actually the same.
That is, having the confidence to defeat the opponent, but not wanting to benefit the pirates.
Because once the Marine and the government start a war, regardless of victory or defeat, the side that remains might not be able to suppress the era.
Not to mention taking down the Four Emperors, the Shichibukai, the Revolutionary Army, and numerous other pirates.
At that time, we will have no choice but to relinquish world power.
Just as if the world's number one and number two were to go to war, neither side would suffer any harm, but the world's number three, fourth, fifth, and so on would all be wiped out.
According to Rosen, Imu, and the Five Elders, etc.
The correct way for the Marine and the government to start a war should be to wipe out all the Four Emperors, the Shichibukai, the Revolutionary Army, etc., instead of both sides dying together first, or the surviving side becoming severely weakened.
That's why.
Both sides are exercising restraint and maintaining a balance, while secretly preparing for battle.
Rosen is devising a plan for the Marine Headquarters to make everyone a dragon.
The Five Elders were also secretly plotting something else.
Three things.
Rosen glanced at the five elders in front of him.
"you say."
To shake off the feeling that he had gone from being one of the Five Elders to a bodyguard, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter spoke first.
Sitting on the sofa, Saint Topman Warcury didn't speak, but instead glanced subtly at Gild Tesoro and Gion behind Rosen.
After reviewing all the information about Rosen, he knew very well that the man in front of him was someone who planned ten steps ahead for every one step he took, and also a king with an extremely strong sense of purpose.
Completely different from the likes of Gol D. Roger.
Instead of bringing other Yonko-level combatants, he brought Gion, a new recruit who had recently graduated from the Naval Academy, and Gild Tesoro, the Marine Headquarters' moneybag.
This is an extremely bizarre thing in itself.
Therefore, he secretly suspected that the three things Rosen mentioned must be closely related to Gion or Gild Tesoro.
Just as Saint Topman Warcury and the other five elders were secretly speculating about Rosen's intentions, Rosen's next words shocked them.
Especially for Saint Topman Warcury, he couldn't help but think to himself.
Just as I expected.
