"Um!"
"After his Black Blade was broken twice, he calmed down for the time being."
"But an eagle is still an eagle. Even if its bones are broken and its wings are clipped, it will still be thinking about how to return to the sky."
Rosen nodded slightly.
If Gin Ichimaru in the Bleach world infiltrated Aizen's inner circle for the sake of Rangiku Matsumoto, waiting for his chance to strike.
Dracule Mihawk, on the other hand, chose to obey him in exchange for a chance to draw his sword, for the sake of a swordsman's dignity and to wash away the shame of his broken Black Blade.
For this reason, she was willing to wear the collar.
"I immediately notified the Criminal Investigation Bureau at headquarters, as well as Stussy, and told them to keep an eye on Dracule Mihawk."
Once Monet realized the danger posed by Dracule Mihawk, she immediately got up to contact the Criminal Investigation Department at headquarters.
"Don't be nervous, this is something I'm happy to see."
"After all, is an eagle that doesn't strive to flap its wings to return to the sky still an eagle?"
"The more he wants to fly, the more he has to bow down to me."
Rosen gestured to Monet to calm down.
Training an eagle requires patience and skill.
Not to mention, he was cooking Hawkeye Mihawk.
As for monitoring Dracule Mihawk?
There is absolutely no need for that.
He is no longer the same person who first arrived in the North Blue and put the collar on Donquixote Doflamingo.
The so-called release of Dracule Mihawk back to the Grand Line is actually just moving him to an even bigger cage to continue imprisoning him.
...
...
Mary Geoise.
creak
Stussy reached out and pushed open the two towering doors, each ten meters high. Before she could even take a step forward, she was greeted by massive bookshelves, each as big as a small mountain, and books piled up everywhere.
This is the historical corridor of Mary Geoise.
Displayed on display is a world history revised by the World Government—no, the Celestial Dragons themselves.
Apart from the 100-year gap in history that has not been recorded, almost all the major events that have occurred in the 800 years since the establishment of the World Government have been recorded in great detail, with very few alterations or cover-ups.
Because of the Celestial Dragons' arrogance.
Because this is Mary Geoise.
Because the Historical Corridor is accessible only to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and CP0, aside from the Five Elders, the Knights of God, and the Celestial Dragons.
Therefore, in Stussy's view, this place is equivalent to a huge and highly accurate intelligence database.
"There were six years between the God Valley incident and the murder of the Zephyr family."
"In other words, the truth should be found by simply reviewing six years of world history."
"Even if it wasn't recorded in the historical corridor, there should still be clues."
Stussy walked up to two bookshelves that were thirty meters tall.
One of the books on the bookshelf happened to be a record of world history for the six years following the God Valley Incident until the Zephyr family was killed.
The other bookshelf contains biographies of world-famous figures.
Those who are recorded in the annals of history and have their own biographies, whether they are pirates, Marines, or other forces, are all trendsetters of their time and powerful figures standing at the pinnacle of the sea.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even be qualified to have their biographies published in the annals of history.
"really."
"As a former admiral, he participated in the God Valley Incident and nurtured a dark force in the Marine era."
"Zephyr also has his own biography."
Instead of looking at world history, Stussy walked up to the books on biography.
She looked around and quickly found Zephyr's biography among the many books.
Because Zephyr is still alive, this biography is not yet finished. It will only be completed after Zephyr's death.
laugh
Stussy held Zephyr's biography in his hand, leaned against the bookshelf, and turned the pages one by one.
The biography records Zephyr's life and past.
His life before joining the Marine and his deeds after joining the Marine are all recorded.
Especially after Zephyr became a Marine admiral, almost all of his important deeds were recorded.
"The Battle of the God Valley."
"To protect the Celestial Dragons, Zephyr fought alone against Ochoku and Ganzui."
"Although he successfully stopped two Rocks Pirates executives from invading, he was shot through the right chest by Ochoku and his trachea was torn apart by Ganzui. After diagnosis, it was found that the injuries he sustained could never be healed."
"I see. No wonder Zephyr chose to retire at his peak. It wasn't just because his family was murdered, but also because he suffered incurable injuries in God Valley."
After learning about Zephyr's experiences in the God Valley and the pain he endured, Stussy suddenly understood.
His entire family was slaughtered by pirates, especially since the perpetrators were unknown. Shouldn't Zephyr, as a Marine Admiral, be chasing pirates all over the world to vent his anger?
However, Zephyr did not do that. Instead, he chose to retire and become a Marine instructor instead of a Marine admiral.
It turns out it wasn't that I didn't want to, but that I couldn't.
A Marine admiral who has suffered an injury that can never be healed will inevitably experience a decline in strength year by year, and in high-intensity battles, his injuries will inevitably flare up.
This makes it very easy for active-duty admirals to be defeated.
Marine Headquarters will not allow this to happen.
The World Government would not allow its Admiral, who is the highest-ranking military force of the Marine and the government, to suffer a defeat.
Zephyr's retirement was a natural progression.
"Um?"
"Found it, Buckingham."
"In the battle at God Valley, she was defeated by Zephyr and became the first officer of the Rocks Pirates to be eliminated. If it weren't for Whitebeard's intervention, she would have been the first Rocks Pirates officer to be captured by the Marine."
Stussy continued reading Zephyr's biography and soon found a section of information that connected him to Buckingham.
After noting this down, she continued reading, page by page, until she finished the biography that recorded half of Zephyr's life. Then she closed her eyes and pondered, organizing the information in her mind, trying to find useful intelligence in the book.
A moment later.
Stussy glanced at the bookshelf and picked out four biographies from among the many available.
A book represents the life of a great person.
Ochoku.
Ganzui.
Buckingham.
Edward Newgate.
Four biographies.
It chronicles the legendary lives of four officers of the Rocks Pirates.
Stussy didn't go anywhere that day.
She remained in the historical corridors of Mary Geoise, witnessing the legendary lives of four Rocks Pirates officers.
snap
After closing Buckingham's biography, Stussy's eyes flickered, as if he had sensed something but was not sure.
She turned her head and glanced at the huge bookshelf beside her, piled high with books that recorded world history from the year of God Valley until the murder of the Zephyr family, a period of six years.
Zephyr, Ochoku, Ganzui, Buckingham and Edward Newgate.
Stussy spent a whole day just flipping through the biographies of the five individuals, and the time Rosen gave her was simply not enough to finish reading six years of world history.
"Not enough time."
"There's nothing I can do."
"I didn't want to involve you in this, but Rosen is really getting more and more terrifying."
Stussy breathed a sigh of relief, then took a Den Den Mushi out of his pocket and dialed a number.
