"Sister Doll, are you really leaving?"
At the pier of Cocoyasi Village where the rain had stopped, Nami held Doll's hand, looking reluctant to leave.
"yes!"
"Sister, I still have a mission to complete!"
"Although this is known as the most peaceful sea area, there are still many villages like Cocoyasi Village in the East Blue that are invaded and plundered by pirates. They can only hope for the Marine's early arrival."
"Just like you guys."
Doll's words reminded Nami of the shadow that the Arlong Pirates had brought to Cocoyasi Village. She also began to understand the burden on the shoulders of the Marine and had an intuitive understanding of justice for the first time.
"I see."
"Sister Doll, then you can go."
"But be careful."
Nami was very sensible and let go of Doll's hand.
"After I clear the East Blue, I will come back here."
"You can take this opportunity to think carefully about it now and discuss with your mother and sister whether you want to go to the First Branch directly with me or wait until you grow up before going to the First Branch."
"Next time you come to Cocoyasi Village, you must give me an answer."
Doll reached out and stroked Nami's hair.
"OK!"
Nami nodded, but she had already made up her mind.
She wants to go with Doll.
The next time we meet will be when I leave Cocoyasi Village.
only.
Can we bring Nojiko and Bell-mère?
She thought secretly in her heart.
Looking at Nami's well-behaved and sensible appearance, Doll pondered for a moment. She squatted down and untied a necklace that had been wearing around her neck.
"Don't ever let this necklace leave your body."
"This is the amulet the Governor gave to you before you set out for the East Blue."
"Wear it. If something similar to the Arlong Pirates invading Cocoyasi Village happens again, it can protect you and keep this village safe."
Finished.
Doll put the black necklace in his hand around Nami's neck.
She didn't elaborate on the fact that the necklace contained Rosen's Haki, but she simply told Nami to wear it at all times.
"amulet?"
"Brother Rosen gave you this, and you gave it to me. What should I do if I encounter danger?"
Nami said as she was about to return the necklace to Doll.
She knew that Doll was going to wipe out the pirates who were wreaking havoc in the East Blue, and thinking about the danger he might encounter, he didn't want the amulet.
"It doesn't matter."
"The Governor gave me, my sister, many amulets."
"Besides this necklace, there's this."
Seeing that Nami was so sensible, Doll liked this little elf more and more. In order to make her feel at ease to accept her gift, she took out a second-generation combat suit transformation device from her coat of justice.
As for his left and right arms, Rosen is armed to the teeth.
Even if he was only sweeping the East Blue, he was still given a necklace that contained his own Haki and a second-generation combat suit.
"Oh well."
Seeing this, Nami allowed Doll to put the necklace around her neck.
"Remember, wear it."
After Doll gave repeated instructions, he stood up, and then, under Nami's reluctant gaze and the grateful eyes of many villagers in Cocoyasi Village, he walked onto the warship and slowly sailed away from the dock of Cocoyasi Village.
…
The other side.
After hanging up the video call with Doll, Rosen sat on the reef. Even if a fish was hooked, he did not pull up the fishing rod, but just quietly looked at the rough sea in front of him.
I don't know what he was thinking about, but his eyes, as deep as the sea, suddenly showed a cold light.
"Governor, we've got a fish on the hook."
Seeing this, Monet couldn't help but whisper a reminder.
"I suddenly don't feel like fishing anymore."
Rosen glanced at the trembling fishing rod in front of him.
"Is it because of the Arlong Pirates incident that ruined your mood?"
Monet thought it was because of Dark King Rayleigh.
After all, going to war with such a tyrant will inevitably cause a storm that will sweep across the era.
It is normal to be in a bad mood for fishing.
"No."
"It's the Shichibukai."
Rosen shook his head.
"What does this have to do with the Shichibukai?"
Monet was slightly startled.
"The Arlong Pirates were captured by Senior Kizaru a long time ago, and all of them were imprisoned in Impel Down."
"It's just that because the World Government wants to recruit Jinbe as one of the Shichibukai, the Five Elders agreed to one of his requests and put the Arlong Pirates and other trash back into the sea."
"I have always believed that negotiating terms with pirates is a disgrace to the Marine and the greatest cruelty to civilians."
Rosen leaned back in his chair.
"Shichibukai."
"With these species, all you have to do is collar them."
He crossed his index fingers and held them in front of him, his eyes as cold as a knife.
The Shichibukai.
In his knowledge, apart from Bartholomew Kuma, there are almost no people who can be called human beings.
Dracule Mihawk, the hunting Marine, had killed at least eight hundred Marine men, if not a thousand.
Crocodile wreaked havoc in Arabasta, causing three years of drought.
Buggy the Clown bombards Orange Town and puts a bounty on the Marine.
Edward Weevil destroyed a training ship and killed all the students in the Zephyr class.
Donquixote Doflamingo is truly a Celestial Dragon, born evil and worthy of his name.
Even Jinbe, known as the Sea Knight, teamed up with Luffy in Impel Down to release prisoners in prison.
"So, Governor, you want to put a collar on Jinbe?"
Thinking of what happened in Cocoyasi Village not long ago, Monet suddenly understood.
indeed.
Even though she couldn't experience it firsthand, she could imagine the despair that Cocoyasi Village would have experienced if Doll hadn't arrived in time.
At least, in the video call just now, the little girl named Nami was unable to show the same elf-like smile as before, but instead had to face endless pain and sadness.
Monet looked at Rosen.
She knew that the man in front of her possessed the highest level of Observation Haki.
Can read minds, sense emotions, and read memories.
Because of this, Rosen is different from himself.
This man could personally feel the despair and grief that those who had faced or experienced pirate invasions felt, feeling that there was no way out, no way to heaven or earth, and even praying to gods was of no avail.
"I don't want to put a collar on Jinbe, but on all the Shichibukai."
Rosen corrected Monet.
After hearing this, Monet didn't think the man in front of him was talking nonsense.
As Rosen's secretary, she knew very well that he had the power to put collars on all the Shichibukai.
"Um?"
Just as Monet was about to say something, Rosen suddenly sat up straight in his chair and frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Governor."
Seeing this, Monet hurriedly asked.
"Someone used the Haki I sealed away."
Rosen's eyes flashed red.
Just now, the Armament Haki Seed in his body gave him feedback, letting him know that the Haki sealed in a certain container had been unsealed.
This is also one of the abilities after Practicing the Haki Core and refining the Armament Haki into Haki Seed.
The Haki sealed in any container outside the body can serve as a coordinate, playing a similar role to a Vivre Card, and can also sense whether the Haki sealed in the container has been used by someone through the Armament Haki Seed.
This sensing range is extremely huge.
For example, the Armament Haki that was previously sealed in the Domino's Saber.
Even in the North Blue, Rosen could sense the location of the Haki in Doll's sword and whether it had been used.
