"You, why are you here?"
Faced with Rosen who suddenly appeared at Donquixote's base camp and on their boat, a CP0 seemed unable to bear the pressure in the air and spoke first.
At this moment, he finally woke up.
Why did Stussy choose to give up chasing Donquixote Doflamingo and want to evacuate from the island without looking back?
"There's a question that's been bothering me for six months. I hope you three can help me solve it."
Seeing that CP0 has entered the game, Rosen no longer hides himself, but speaks directly.
"What if we say no?"
Stussy narrowed his eyes slightly.
She was completely certain that the person who had Donquixote Doflamingo waiting for the arrival of CP0 was the man in front of her.
"It's a pity that you don't have the right to say no."
Rosen tapped lightly a few times with his hands resting on the ship's railing.
snap
Every time the fingers fell and hit the guardrail, everyone, including Stussy, felt as if Rosen's hand was hitting their hearts directly.
"You are so powerful!"
"Lord Rosen."
"If I let you be the Governor for a few more years, wouldn't you dare to ignore even the Five Elders?"
The blond CP0 member named Barton couldn't help but shout.
As the strongest shield of the Celestial Dragons, he is usually arrogant.
In front of the Celestial Dragons, he is a dog, but in front of anyone other than the Celestial Dragons, he is a god.
Even though he knew that Rosen possessed the strength of a Marine admiral, he still didn't believe that the man in front of him would dare to attack him at the cost of making enemies with the Five Elders because of his CP0 status.
"Shut up, Barton."
Stussy's expression changed slightly, and before Rosen could speak, she had already shouted.
Although it is said that birds of a feather flock together, she has been following the Celestial Dragons for many years and has not been infected with the Celestial Dragons' arrogance and condescending habits like Barton, who is also a CP0.
Most importantly, she had investigated Rosen's intelligence and was very familiar with this man's style.
Even though they are the Celestial Dragons' strongest shield, it may not be enough to protect them.
"Hasn't it ever struck you as strange before you said that?"
Rosen glanced at Barton and a smile appeared on his lips.
"What's strange?"
Barton scoffed.
"Do you think CP0 appeared in the North Blue because of the Five Elders?"
"Do you think it was fate that we met at Donquixote's base camp?"
"Do you think that being attacked by Doflamingo was a coincidence?"
Rosen shook his head.
really.
Any force, whether it is the headquarters of the Marine, the Roger Pirates, or CP0, will always have some stains.
Just like there are Spandine fathers and sons in CP9.
CP0, known as the Celestial Dragons' strongest shield, also has people like Barton.
"What do you want to say?"
Barton didn't know why, but he felt extremely angry.
It seems that only in this way can the inner anxiety and horror be concealed.
But she didn't know that all her thoughts and emotions were seen by Rosen's Observation Haki.
"Start with what?"
At this time.
Stussy took a deep breath.
Unlike the yelling, impatient and impulsive Barton, even at this moment, even though she guessed that she had been plotted, she remained calm and composed.
"From the beginning."
Rosen looked at the calm Stussy, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
CP0 also has talented people.
As expected, she was the woman who took down two powerful men who had awakened animal-type fruits without any effort.
All I can say is that Vegapunk did not just create humans but also educate them.
Although he is a clone of Buckingham, Stussy, as a clone, is far superior to the original Buckingham in terms of character, means, and scheming.
"impossible!"
Stussy's pretty face changed slightly when she heard this.
"Although it may be hard for you to accept, this is the truth."
"From the day I arrived in the North Blue, it was destined that you would come here."
"Including being attacked by Donquixote Doflamingo."
Rosen looked into Stussy's eyes and spoke word by word.
"How could such a thing happen?"
Barton and another CP0 named Sironic were horrified and found it unbelievable.
"Possibly."
"Since Heavenly Gold, or rather, since he put the collar on Donquixote Doflamingo, he has been planning for this day to come."
"Heavenly Gold's second disappearance and the investigative report he submitted to the World Government were all designed to lure CP0 into the North Blue without arousing the World Government's vigilance or suspicion."
Stussy looked at Rosen, a hint of horror flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Whether as CP0 or the queen of Pleasure District, she has seen all kinds of strong people in the New World, including overlords standing at the top of the ocean.
However.
No one had ever made her feel so terrified like the man in front of her, even before he showed his strength.
"I don't care what your purpose is, but Rosen, you'd better remember one thing."
"CP0 is an institution directly under the World Nobility. The Marine has no jurisdiction over it."
"Taking action against us would be equivalent to declaring war on the World Government."
Sironic clenched his fists and warned.
Because he found himself sweating profusely.
There is no way. Since Rosen dares to plot against CP0 so blatantly, it means that the identity of CP0 has no deterrent effect on this man.
At this moment, he could only use the World Government's cover, hoping to make Rosen afraid.
"Whether I choose to declare war on the World Government does not depend on whether I attack you, but on what answer you give me next."
Rosen did not choose to use his Observation Haki to directly read the memories of the three people.
Because doing so would take too much time and effort.
A person's memory capacity can reach the knowledge capacity of 5 million books.
If there are three people, that is equivalent to the knowledge capacity of 15 million books.
As for the three CP0s in front of him, even Stussy, who was a clone, was created more than ten years ago, which means that the memories stored in Stussy's mind are more than ten years old.
Not to mention the other two CP0s.
It is too troublesome to accurately search for the memories you want in such a huge and massive memory of ten, twenty, or even thirty years, and then read them.
It is better to ask, then sense the inner voice and determine the authenticity.
Of course, if Stussy and the other two were determined to refuse, he wouldn't mind wasting time and using his Observation Haki to slowly read their memories.
"What do you want to know from us?"
Stussy tried to guess Rosen's intentions while pretending to be submissive.
In her opinion, as long as there is no conflict and the problem can be resolved through negotiation, it is acceptable.
After all, if a real fight breaks out, the three of them combined wouldn't be enough to defeat Rosen with one hand.
Not to mention the Zanpakutō that Rosen made with the Arms-Arms Fruit, just by releasing his Armament Haki, activating Susanoo, and then casually slashing them, they would basically be dead.
"Who was it that killed Mr. Zephyr's family?"
Rosen stared straight at Stussy and the other two.
"I have no idea."
Stussy met Rosen's gaze and answered word by word.
Not only her, but even Barton and Sironic had no strange expressions on their faces, as if they really had no idea.
