Branch 1.
On a huge reef standing on the beach, Rosen, wearing a beach hat and holding a fishing rod, fishes in the sea while enjoying the sunshine and wind of the North Blue.
"Governor."
"There's a phone call for you."
"It's Director Doll."
Suddenly, a voice as gentle as a lotus came from a distance.
Rosen turned and looked.
Monet's graceful and plump figure suddenly came into view.
at this time.
She walked over quickly, holding a communication device similar to a laptop in her hands.
As Monet turned on the communication device, a picture suddenly appeared on the screen.
The background is heavy rain.
Then, there were the corpses of murlocs all over the ground, and blood that had not yet been washed away by the rain.
soon.
On the other side, Doll adjusted the camera, and her face appeared on the screen.
Obviously.
The image captured by the camera just now was intended to let Rosen know what was happening on her side.
"It seems that your progress in the East Blue is going well."
"The Arlong Pirates were dealt with so quickly."
"Well done, Doll."
When Rosen saw Doll's figure appear in the picture, he knew what happened in East Blue and immediately praised him.
"Governor."
"I'm so sorry."
Facing Rosen's praise, Doll looked worried.
"Why are you apologizing?"
Rosen asked back with a chuckle on his face.
"I might have caused you some trouble."
Doll was silent for a few seconds.
"What's wrong?"
Rosen's tone didn't change at all.
"I killed the Arlong Pirates."
"But later I learned from Captain Arlong that there was a fishman named Hatchan."
"He saved the Pirate King's right wrist."
Doll lowered her head slightly.
"Silvers Rayleigh?"
Rosen's face remained calm when he heard this.
"Yes."
"Governor, I'm truly sorry."
"I shouldn't have been so impulsive. If I had only killed the main culprit, Arlong, who was the captain, and imprisoned the other murlocs, this wouldn't have happened."
Doll's voice revealed a strong sense of self-blame.
"You did a great job on this matter."
In response to Doll's self-blame, Rosen made a shocking statement.
"…"
After hearing this, Doll was stunned.
She came from the headquarters, so she knew very well the solutions adopted by the Marine Headquarters or the World Government towards the Roger Pirates.
That is to let it go.
As long as the members of Roger's pirate group do not show off and do not cause trouble, we will not actively hunt down any member of Roger's pirate group.
In other words, her actions were seen by many high-ranking officials of the World Government as causing trouble and a serious mistake.
It is very likely to destroy the balance among the three major forces.
What Doll didn't expect was that when he came to Rosen, he was actually praised.
"Why that expression?"
"Isn't it natural for the Marine to kill pirates and keep the area safe?"
"You just did what you were supposed to do as a Marine. If you weren't praised, why should you punish me?"
Rosen's words made Doll couldn't help but raise his head.
"not to mention."
"Didn't I tell you to execute the Arlong Pirates?"
"If upholding justice and carrying out orders from superiors is considered troublesome to me, then I'll give you a dozen troublesome Marines like you."
He shook his head, causing Doll's heart to tremble slightly.
"But Dark King."
Doll wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Rosen.
"Dark King?"
"If he has any objections to the First Branch Marine executing the Arlong Pirates, I will personally help him put an end to it."
"Send him to meet Gol D. Roger and let him become a true Dark King."
Rosen had a calm expression, as if he was narrating a trivial and ordinary incident.
But every word he uttered made Doll, the accompanying Marine, and Monet's heart tremble when they heard it.
That is the spirit of shouldering the burden single-handedly even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you.
It made all the Marines feel extremely relieved and shocked.
After all, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow.
That's Silvers Rayleigh.
Even though Gol D. Roger died and ushered in the Great Age of Pirates before his death, the World Government and the Marine Headquarters still chose to treat the Roger Pirates leniently, and even let them do as they pleased.
As long as the members of Roger's pirate group don't make a high-profile comeback, we won't deal with it.
This allowed this group of pirates to live a comfortable retirement life.
One can imagine the World Government's fear and tolerance of the Roger Pirates.
But here comes Rosen.
After learning that Doll had killed the murloc Hatchan, who had saved Silvers Rayleigh, while carrying out a mission, his first reaction was not to blame or be angry, but to take the blame.
Instead of letting Doll bear the burden alone, Rosen took it all on his own.
It is always the subordinates who take the blame, never the boss. But in the first branch, when it came to Rosen, the situation took a completely different turn.
"If something like this happens again in the future, there's no need to apologize."
"Whether it's the Dark King or the Four Emperors, there's no need to panic and blame yourself."
"You just need to stay at your posts, follow military orders, and act as you normally would."
Rosen's voice reached Doll through the communication equipment, and also reached the ears of every Marine officer around her:
"Don't be afraid."
"No matter what happens, as long as you move forward with me."
"There is absolutely no rival ahead of us."
Every word he uttered was entwined with an unrivaled Conqueror's Haki. Even though they were separated by the vast distance between the East Blue and the North Blue and could only rely on communication equipment to transmit their words, they still shocked everyone who heard them.
Apart from the Marine of the first branch, the one who was most shocked was Bell-mère, who used to be a Marine but is now retired.
Even though she was just an ordinary branch Marine before, she had heard of the name Silvers Rayleigh.
That's the Pirate King's right arm.
What's the result?
When this happened, Doll was not greeted with a scolding or accountability, but with comfort and praise.
"Big brother."
"You really won't blame the Marine sister?"
"She is truly a good Marine. If she had arrived one day later, Bell-mère would have been killed by those stinky fishmen from the Arlong Pirates because she couldn't afford the money to buy her life."
Just as everyone was moved, a young orange-haired figure bravely rushed out from the crowd and ran to Doll. However, because she was not tall enough, she jumped up hard, trying to let Rosen see her, while loudly praising Doll's goodness.
"Nami."
Seeing this, Bell-mère's face changed drastically and he hurried forward to pull Nami back.
She used to be a sailor, so she knew one thing better than anyone else in Cocoyasi Village, that is, how powerful and influential the man who appeared on the communication device was in the North Blue, no, in the Four Seas.
Afraid that Nami would be taken out on, and also worried that Nami's words would implicate Doll, she pulled Nami back while preparing to apologize.
"Doll, lower the camera!"
Through the camera, Rosen could barely see an orange-haired loli face appearing in the picture from time to time.
Although the age difference between him and the original is quite large, he still recognized him at a glance.
Nami.
Seeing this little girl who had experienced the pain of losing her mother because of the Arlong Pirates since childhood and had to bear the burden of buying the entire Cocoyasi Village alone, jumping in front of him and trying to explain, he couldn't help but raise a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Doll also knew Rosen's character. He was very tolerant of anyone who was not a pirate.
He has never shown a bad face to the Marine or ordinary people.
So she was not worried that Nami would be scolded if she suddenly spoke, but instead put the communication device in front of Nami.
