After the execution,
It took about an hour for Ronan to successfully return to the Sabaody Archipelago.
Unlike when they set out, only Ronan returned.
Walking into the central hall of the red light district, opening the door, except for Sammy, Akio and Makoto,
Rouge and Rayleigh are here too.
"Lord Ronan, you're back!!!"
Akio and Makoto were the first to jump up and down. Ronan smiled and patted their heads, said hello to everyone, and sat down on the sofa with his legs crossed.
"Ronan, I saw the live broadcast of the execution. Roger's body..."
Rayleigh held the bottle of wine in his hand. He was actually very curious about how Ronan was able to easily get the body from the World Government, and what he did with it in the end.
Ronan thought about it and realized that there was nothing he couldn't say. It wasn't a big secret either.
Anyway, everyone present is our own people.
"Well... I just negotiated a business deal with the Five Elders. As for Captain Roger's body..."
"It has been burned and the ashes have been scattered into the sea."
"I see..."
Upon hearing this, Rayleigh nodded, a glint of reminiscence in his eyes. "It's indeed a very suitable destination for Roger."
As for the transaction with the Five Elders that Ronan mentioned, he had no interest in asking.
Same goes for Sammy and the others, although they can't help but be curious about the things going on between the world's top figures.
But Ronan doesn't tell, they won't ask,
The main point is to know when to advance and when to retreat.
That night,
A prison once used to hold unruly female slaves.
Ta-ta-ta-ta...
A rhythmic and crisp sound of footsteps rang out in the empty corridor.
This voice instantly alerted Donquixote Doflamingo, who was reading the newspaper, and he quickly sat up from the bed.
This footstep sound is completely different from the previous meal delivery people.
He is so familiar!
These days, he has been trapped in nightmares countless times. The increasingly strong feeling of oppression accompanied by the sound of footsteps had woken him up from his dreams gasping for breath countless times!
Drops of cold sweat flowed down from my forehead.
Clenching your teeth,
But... he didn't even dare to show his veins.
"Hoo...Surprisingly, they haven't lynched you these days?"
In a teasing tone,
Before he knew it, Ronan had already sat down beside his bed, looking at the newspaper he had just been reading with great interest.
"Reading newspapers is a good habit."
Ronan opened the newspaper and saw that it was the latest edition.
Captain Roger was executed, and the great pirate era began.
At the end, there is a cold photo of Ronan carrying Roger's body and looking down from a high platform.
Which photography genius took this photo?
Why do you always make him look so handsome?
He doesn't make a living by his looks.
Seeing Ronan sitting with his legs crossed and flipping through the newspaper, he seemed to be completely oblivious to him.
Gulp...
A nervous swallowing sound was heard.
Although Ronan acted easygoing,
But when he saw the figure of this evil god again, Donquixote Doflamingo was still stiff all over. The feeling of suffocation seemed to still remain, making his breathing a little disordered.
The more he read the newspaper these days, the more frightened he became and he realized what kind of terrifying existence he had offended.
Invade the Navy Headquarters at will,
Known as the "King of the Next Generation",
Acting recklessly under the noses of the Navy and the World Government, but the other party dare not take any action, the threat is extremely high
The monster most likely to dominate this sea!
[Black Gun]
Ronan!!!
Yes,
Only a monster that almost dominates the world can possess such an overwhelming Haki.
Just one collision made him completely unable to muster any thoughts of resistance, and all he felt in his heart was the instinctive fear of a living being!
In Donquixote Doflamingo's eyes, Ronan has become one of the strongest people in the world.
Because only by losing to such a guy can he find some excuses to make amends for his soul.
Losing is not a reason to collapse.
Losing to the weak is.
"Relax~ I'm not here to kill you."
Ronan was flipping through the latest newspaper. Although his eyes were not on Donquixote Doflamingo, he could even sense how nervous this guy was with just a casual perception of his Observation Haki.
Isn't it just a crushing defeat?
As for having such a big psychological shadow, it's a good thing you still have the Conqueror's Haki,
Shanks had been coaxed to sleep by him so many times, but his heart had never been broken like this.
No matter what, he might become one of the Four Emperors in the future. He is very skilled in enduring the abuse.
After hearing what Ronan said, Donquixote Doflamingo finally came to his senses.
Yes, if you want to kill him, it would be a piece of cake for a monster like this. There is no need to waste time talking to him.
Unless Ronan was some kind of pervert who wanted to have fun with him.
He frowned and looked at the casual figure with serious eyes.
"Really... do you, a figure like you, really need nobody like me?"
"You are not some nobody, Donquixote Doflamingo."
Ronan smiled and closed the newspaper.
In the blink of an eye, he suddenly appeared in front of Donquixote Doflamingo with his hands behind his back, smiling calmly.
"Being defeated by me doesn't mean you're not strong. On the contrary, I'm very optimistic about your potential, and I'm willing to invest in your ambitions."
His eyes were fixed on Donquixote Doflamingo's tense expression.
"The Celestial Dragon who was abandoned by the Holy Land and experienced the purgatory on earth has now awakened the Conqueror's Haki.
When they grow up completely, a lot of interesting things will surely happen.
Let me help you, and be sure to thank me later."
The corners of Ronan's mouth kept curling up, his eyes like a cat looking at a mouse.
This monster, what does he want to do...
Even Donquixote Doflamingo, who was always arrogant and rebellious, couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment.
He slowly took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket.
"Beru Beru Beru..."
"Click."
A majestic figure appeared on the Den Den Mushi, staring coldly ahead.
"What's the matter with you, Ronan?"
"If you have anything to say, please keep it short. It's only because of you that we made time for you."
At the moment he heard the voice of Den Den Mushi, Donquixote Doflamingo's pupils trembled violently, while Ronan, who still had a smile on his face, looked at him in disbelief.
How is it possible!?!?
He will never forget these voices in his life.
That was the world's highest authority that officially sentenced him to "death" as a Celestial Dragon.
The voices of the Five Elders!!!
And now they,
How could he talk to a pirate?
His worldview was constantly broken and reshaped.
Facing such a big man who almost controls the entire world, Ronan chatted casually:
"It's about what we agreed upon. In exchange for Captain Roger's body, it's also a symbol of our peaceful coexistence—"
I've already found one of the candidates for the Seven Warlords of the Sea for you."
