Under the watchful eyes of the Marine, who regarded him as a god, Rosen stepped into the Garganta.
Bang
The next second, the Garganta, like the closed mouth of a giant beast, suddenly closed up and then disappeared.
The torn sky is healing anew.
If Rosen hadn't already disappeared, the Marine personnel present might have even doubted whether what they had just seen was a mirage.
"Did you go back?"
Seeing this, many Marine personnel had an expression as if they had just woken up from a dream.
"Yes."
"Governor, he has returned to the First Branch of the North Blue."
T Bone nodded seriously.
Although it was the first time, no, the second time, he had seen Rosen tear through the sky and open the Garganta, as the Marine member present who understood Rosen's power the most, he was certain that Rosen must have already returned to the North Blue 1st Branch.
"The splendor of the strongest Marine in a millennium."
"I've finally seen it for myself."
"No wonder that guy from Fire Mountain always looks at Governor Rosen with the same reverence he would show when he talks about a god."
Doberman murmured to himself.
Huoshaoshan had discussed Rosen's matter with him privately many times.
Previously, he found it a little hard to understand.
Even when talking about naval admirals, Huoshaoshan had never lost his composure like this.
Only Rosen.
It was entirely about a deity.
A deity walking among mortals.
At this moment.
Dracule Mihawk turned away from the direction where the Garganta had disappeared, and then turned and left.
"where are you going?"
Doberman's attention was never off Dracule Mihawk.
He was especially on edge after Rosen returned to North Blue.
Because, with just one sword, Dracule Mihawk could wipe out all the Marines present.
snap
Dracule Mihawk paused, and everyone tensed up.
However.
Just as everyone was ready for battle, he said something.
"Marine Grand Line Branch 38".
After saying that, Dracule Mihawk left without looking back.
If it were before, a mere Vice Admiral daring to question him would have been dealt with by a single blow.
But now, his sword can no longer be used to strike the Marine; it can only be used to strike in the direction Rosen is pointing.
at least.
This was the only option until they could break free of the collar.
"Has it really been tamed?"
"They turned the Marine hunters into the Marine's hounds."
"Governor Rosen, how did he manage to do that?"
Doberman stared at Dracule Mihawk's retreating figure, his face filled with astonishment and horror.
Although Rosen had personally guaranteed it beforehand, he was still shocked when he saw the Marine hunter who regarded the Marine as prey, the world's strongest swordsman who had forged the Black Blade, actually obeying Rosen's orders to go to the 38th branch of the Grand Line to guard that sea area.
He wasn't surprised that Hawkeye obeyed orders when Rosen was around.
Even after Rosen left, Hawkeye still followed orders, which shocked him.
"I think."
"The problem must be with that Black Blade."
T Bone paused for a moment, recalling something he had noticed unintentionally before.
"Captain Penn, I don't quite understand what you mean?"
Doberman was puzzled.
"I saw the Black Blade Yoru on Dracule Mihawk's back, with two stitches on it."
"It looks exactly like the stitches that stitch up our wounds."
"In other words, after Dracule Mihawk forged the Yoru into a Black Blade, the governor personally cut it in two pieces."
T Bone made a startling statement.
"What?"
"Can a Black Blade be cut in half?"
Upon hearing this, Doberman was immediately dumbfounded.
In his mind, the Black Blade was synonymous with indestructible and indestructible.
In particular, Dracule Mihawk's Black Blade is not an ordinary Black Blade, but a Black Blade of the Supreme Grade Sword level.
It can be called the world's strongest Black Blade.
"Can't the Black Blade be cut?"
T Bone didn't answer but asked a question in return.
"..."
Doberman was momentarily speechless.
yes!
Can't the Black Blade be cut?
Even something as hard as Seastone can be cut and processed, right?
Even if the Black Blade is tougher than Seastone, it should still be able to cut through it.
However, in the endless past, no one has ever appeared who could cut through the Black Blade, or if someone has appeared who could cut through the Black Blade, but the other party did not do so.
Anyway, it's already confirmed.
That was when Dracule Mihawk's Black Blade Yoru was broken twice by Rosen.
That's why.
Only the world's strongest swordsman would show such a submissive attitude.
...
North Blue.
North Blue 1st Branch.
Swish
The sky suddenly tore open, and the Garganta opened up.
It was exactly the spot where Rosen had been fishing on the beach rocks, when the sky was torn apart, opening a Garganta leading to the South Blue.
As the dark chamber opened, a figure quickly stepped out from its depths.
"Governor!"
Monet and Vinsmoke Judge, who had been waiting in the reef, immediately went to greet Rosen when the Garganta opened and Rosen returned.
"What exactly happened in the South Blue?"
Vinsmoke Judge couldn't contain his curiosity.
After all, the First Branch had damaged more than a dozen combat suits.
He desperately wanted to know who was behind it.
"Dracule Mihawk destroyed the 38th Marine Division of the Marine Grand Line. He drove the remaining Marines all the way back to the South Blue from the Grand Line, where he happened to encounter Peng and others who were on a mission in the South Blue."
Rosen sat in the chair.
"A Marine hunter?"
"No wonder so many of my combat suits were damaged."
"He is recognized as the strongest among the Shichibukai. It was because of his addition that the Shichibukai became one of the three major powers."
Vinsmoke Judge suddenly realized.
Although Dracule Mihawk was not recognized as the world's strongest swordsman because he had not yet forged his Black Blade and had not fought against Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, his reputation was still so great that it shook the seas.
After being recruited as one of the Shichibukai, he immediately became the recognized strongest Warlord.
and.
It was also because of Dracule Mihawk's addition that the Shichibukai became the third force capable of balancing the Marine Headquarters and the Four Emperors.
"That pirate named Mihawk, you killed him, Governor, didn't you?"
Monet half-squatted down next to Rosen, helped him tie the bait, and then handed him the fishing rod, all the while asking him questions out of curiosity.
Seeing that Rosen returned alone without bringing back a second Shichibukai wearing a collar, she assumed that Dracule Mihawk had been killed.
"Killing him would be easy."
"However, in this case, no one will be responsible for compensating for the damaged combat suits."
"And the 38th Grand Line branch that he destroyed, no one bothered to clean up the mess."
When Rosen spoke of Dracule Mihawk's life or death, it was as if he were talking about crushing an ant.
The tone was relaxed, even casual.
"So, Governor, you put a collar on Dracule Mihawk."
Vinsmoke Judge was startled.
How long have they been gone?
In such a short time, they crossed the North and South Blues and placed a collar on Dracule Mihawk, the strongest of the Shichibukai.
Even if he wasn't Douglas Bullet, he understood one thing.
That means Rosen's strength has truly grown stronger.
