"Is it not just the Conqueror's Haki that he was born with, but also the ambition to become king?"
"What if?"
"Why is there no one who dares to claim the throne of the sea?"
Upon hearing Monet's words, Rosen had a sudden flash of inspiration, and his Conqueror's Haki seemed to be inexplicably touched and stimulated.
hiss
Around his body, grotesque and violent black and red lightning began to spread, like a black dragon dominating the world, coiled around him.
The suffocating pressure distorted the atmosphere in the governor's office—no, in the area surrounding the First Branch.
"To make no one dare to claim the throne of the sea?"
"Is this possible?"
"The Conqueror's Haki and the ambition to become a king are planted in a king's bones from the moment he is born, like a bloodline factor."
Faced with the overwhelming Conqueror's Haki.
Monet's pretty face turned pale, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back, pressing herself against the office wall.
Even though Rosen controlled the Conqueror's Haki that distorted the atmosphere, she still felt a wave of overwhelming pressure sweeping over her.
"Even if this generation has the potential to be a king, they don't dare to claim the title. What about the next generation?"
"Just as people set sail every day to embark on the Grand Line, so too do people set sail every day to explore new worlds."
"Governor, human ambition will never disappear."
Monet thought of Rosen, and realized that the headquarters of this era possessed the strongest Marine in a thousand years, which could indeed suppress the world for an era.
What about later?
Those born with the potential to be kings will also want to become kings.
even.
Even those without Conqueror's Haki will try every means to become king.
"I don't need to make people's ambitions disappear, I just need to."
"Let the sea be without a king."
"Let there be no more thieves in the world."
Rosen's eyes flashed with a dazzling crimson light.
at the same time.
Centered on the 1st branch, a black and red lightning bolt, like a dragon emerging from the sea, soared into the sky and plunged into the sea of clouds at the top of the dome.
Boom
The moment the Conqueror's Haki lightning bolt touched the clouds, it shattered, transforming into countless bolts of lightning that swept across the sky like a swarm of dragons, forming a massive lightning net that encompassed the heavens.
Sizzle
Without any clash or conflict with the Conqueror's Haki of other kings, the Conqueror's Haki released by Rosen alone was enough to overwhelm the South Blue Dome, causing shocking chasms to appear in the sea of clouds.
"How is that possible?"
"I can't use my Snow-Snow Fruit."
Although Rosen controlled the Conqueror's Haki that was raging across the sky, the aftershocks of the oppressive aura that filled the heavens and the sea still caused Monet, who was closest to him, to stagger and collapse onto the cold floor.
Not only that.
What shocked Monet even more was that she lost her Logia-type Snow-Snow Fruit powers.
It was as if time had reversed, returning to the past, before we had eaten the Snow-Snow Fruit.
Create snow and wind.
Can't do it.
The elements transformed into snow.
It's impossible.
The mere aftershocks of the overwhelming Conqueror's Haki were enough to suppress a Logia-type Devil Fruit user to the point where they were completely unable to use the Snow-Snow Fruit.

...
The New World.
Marine Grand Line Branch 1
A Marine base that must constantly face the oppression and danger of the Four Emperors.
As the base commander and one of the three admirals of the Marine, Sakazuki's days can only be described as monotonous.
Inspecting the branch.
Through the headquarters' Criminal Investigation Bureau and other Grand Line branches located in different parts of the New World, they constantly monitor the New World and the movements of the Four Emperors.
Then, he returned to the base commander's office, took out his sword which he hadn't used since eating the Logia-type Magma-Magma Fruit, and carefully began to clean it.
He didn't abandon his sword; rather, he possessed a magma fist sharper than that sword, capable of burning away any pirate.
Magma was Sakazuki's sword.
Although the old swords are no longer used, the habit of wiping and polishing them has been retained.
He insisted on wiping and polishing his sword every day.
Firstly, it's a matter of habit.
Secondly, it serves as a reminder to myself.
In the new world, you must always be on high alert and prepared to go to war with the Four Emperors at any time.
Therefore, he was always in a state of high concentration.
His eyes would occasionally flash with a red light.
He was clearly using Observation Haki.
This is a Marine admiral.
Akainu.
A man whose reputation is mixed, but undeniably, he was the most fierce, resolute, and difficult to deal with among the three generals.
Kuzan may shake justice, or even change it.
Borsalino may have moments of wavering will and be bound by emotions.
At certain times, in certain situations, and when facing certain people, these two top Marine forces may either hold back, or be targeted, ambushed, or defeated for specific reasons.
Only Sakazuki.
He has never wavered in his belief in absolute justice, and has remained steadfast in it to this day.
Always be in a state of high alert and preparedness.
He practically turned Observation Haki, an active skill, into a passive skill.
That's why.
Before Rosen's meteoric rise, he was widely recognized as the most invincible admiral in the Marine Headquarters.
Clang
After thoroughly wiping the blade, handle, and scabbard inside and out, and carefully sharpening the edge, Sakazuki put the sword back into its scabbard and placed it back on the sword rack.
After doing all this, he planned to go to the training ground in the branch and begin training day after day, year after year, without ever stopping.
Whether it's Haki, physical skills, swordsmanship, or Devil Fruits,
There is no such thing as getting stronger with age.
on the contrary.
A lapse in willpower will cause one's Haki to recede.
Neglecting exercise will cause physical fitness to decline.
A prolonged absence from battle will cause a comprehensive decline in combat strength.
Whether you want to continue to improve or maintain your peak performance, you can only keep training, keep fighting, and never let your will slacken, otherwise you will become weaker.
In order to uphold absolute justice.
In order to fight against the Four Emperors.
In order to eradicate all evil.
Sakazuki does not allow himself to slack off in any way, nor does he allow any aspect of his abilities to regress.
This is one of the key reasons why he was able to gradually widen the gap in combat power compared to Kuzan and Borsalino.
We're all Marine monsters with the magnanimity of admirals and top-tier Logia-type Devil Fruits, so why are you stronger?
Just like Douglas Bullet, Sakazuki never slacks off, and has made self-discipline an instinct.
"Um?
"It's an unfamiliar aura."
"Very strong! Even the Four Emperors are no more than this."
Sakazuki reached for the office doorknob, about to open it and head to his workout, when his constantly used Observation Haki detected a powerful, unfamiliar aura, comparable to that of a Yonko (Emperor of the Sea), rapidly approaching Grand Line's First Branch.
He did not immediately activate the alarm and put the entire Grand Line 1st Branch on high alert, because under his management and training, the Marine at the base was already in a state of constant readiness for combat.
With Sakazuki setting an example, the Marine of Grand Line's 1st Branch had only two choices: to ingrain war preparedness into their very bones, or to apply for a transfer.
Of course.
He doesn't force people to do things he himself can't do.
"Who is it?"
"When did such a person appear in the new world?"
"A monster with this level of aura couldn't possibly be unknown."
Sakazuki's mind raced with various thoughts, and the red light in his eyes shone even brighter. He wasn't just sensing auras; he was foreseeing the future.
In an instant, the scene of the next few seconds appeared before my eyes.
Using his Observation Haki, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
The feeling of unfamiliarity stems from the fact that we hadn't officially met before today.
Familiarity arises because, although we have never met, I already knew of the other person's existence.
