In the blink of an eye, Rosen's voice slowly rang out, spreading throughout the world and echoing in everyone's ears, as he tore the sky above Marineford with his overwhelming Conqueror's Haki.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Rosen."
His overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, coupled with his belated self-introduction, caused the Shichibukai, the Four Emperors, the Revolutionary Army, the World Government, and even the Marine Headquarters, who already knew him, to have a misconception.
That is, we only met and learned about this person for the first time today.
It wasn't Rosen's name, nor was it his identity.
It is power.
That overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, powerful enough to tear apart the sea of clouds, compelled everyone who witnessed it to involuntarily re-evaluate Rosen.
Just like when I got to know the Marine Headquarters all over again.
"Times are changing."
Through the live broadcast to the world, we watched Rosen standing on the high platform, looking at the torn sky and the chasm between heaven and earth that has never healed.
In the Grand Line, every power that can be named seems to have witnessed the Great Pirate Era being torn apart like the sky, and then the moment of change between the old and new eras.
The era of pirates is coming to an end.
The era of the Marine is rising.
"There's one more thing."
"As a witness to this ceremony, I have decided to inform everyone in advance in order to express my gratitude to everyone watching the live broadcast around the world."
"Next, the Marine Headquarters will launch an operation to invade the New World."
Just as everyone was still reeling from the shock of the world broadcast, Rosen's voice rang out again:
"Charlotte Linlin".
"Kaido."
"Edward Newgate."
"We will completely destroy every one of the Four Emperors, along with their pirate crews, and wipe these so-called Emperors of the Sea from the New World."
Rosen brazenly issued a challenge to the Four Emperors.
And it wasn't just one, it was three of the Four Emperors.
These three challenge letters, presented to the three Four Emperors, immediately caused a huge uproar in the world.
Before everyone could calm down...
Standing on the high platform of headquarters, Rosen slowly raised his head, his eyes seeming to shoot out two cold beams of light that pierced through the chasm in the sky that he had previously torn open with his Conqueror's Haki, and then reached the top of the sky above the sea of clouds.
"Let's start with you."
"All beasts".
"Kaido."
He said it in a nonchalant way.
Bang
A deafening roar suddenly erupted.
It descended from the sea of clouds like a thunderclap, spreading throughout the Marine Headquarters and sweeping the world via live broadcast.
at the same time.
Suddenly, a dazzling burst of fire erupted from the chasm in the sky, like a flowing sea of lava, instantly filling the chasm embedded in the firmament.
Immediately afterwards.
A blazing heat, like a pillar of lava erupting from a volcano, carrying the power to pierce the sky and the heat to burn through mountains, surged out from the fiery chasm and bombarded Rosen, who stood on the high platform.
"This is."
"Bolo Breath!"
Sengoku, who was also standing on the high platform, was taken aback. He had not expected that on the day of the conferment ceremony for admirals, when so many of the Marine's top combat forces had gathered, someone would dare to cause trouble.
and.
This person is also one of the targets that the Marine Headquarters plans to attack next.
"Ah la la la la la!"
"Kaido?"
"It really is true that what you say comes true!"
Kuzan, standing at the entrance to the inner bay, watched the heatwave descend from the sky, striking like divine punishment, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Yes.
He recognized the person who came, but he showed no sign of seriousness, let alone nervousness.
In the past, the Marine Headquarters might have been on high alert in the face of such a situation, but now they don't take it seriously at all.
It was just a bit of a surprise at most.
"How is that possible!"
"It's just that the junior knew that guy was coming a long time ago."
"That's why I deliberately said something like starting with all the beasts."
Borsalino shook his head, his face showing no sign of tension either.
"That's really powerful Observation Haki."
"Land, sky, and sea."
"With the Marine Headquarters as the center, everything in all directions is within the range of his domineering perception."
Sakazuki had a serious expression on his face, but not because of the Bolo Breath, but because of Rosen's Observation Haki.
That's incredibly strong.
This was completely beyond his understanding of Observation Haki.
past.
He had seen people with innate top-tier Observation Haki, as well as people with Observation Haki covering an extremely large area.
Without exception, no one's Observation Haki could compare to Rosen's.
Faced with the sudden heatwave, the three admirals remained calm and even had the leisure to whisper among themselves.
The three only took action when the heatwave had traveled several kilometers and was about to strike the high platform like a thunderclap.
But in the next instant, a red light flashed in the eyes of all three Admirals.
then.
Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan all chose to stop their attempts to intercept the Bolo Breath.
Although their Observation Haki is far inferior to Rosen's, they can still foresee the future.
Moreover, the foreseeable future is not short.
All of them start at five seconds.
Because of this, all three of them foresaw what would happen in the next few seconds, and thus abandoned any thought of intercepting the attack.
This is not an isolated incident.
Garp, Douglas Bullet, and Sengoku, who were also at Marine Headquarters and were closest to the Bolo Breath, all originally planned to intercept it, but in the end they all chose to remain still.
It's not that we can't stop them, it's that there's no need to.
Because someone can do it better than all of them combined.
"How rude!"
Rosen glanced at the approaching heatwave, his eyes indifferent, his face calm and composed.
He slowly raised his right hand, palm up, fingers up.
Armament Haki surged forth from his body like a mighty river, moving five meters away before transforming into a tangible defensive force.
A semi-transparent, imposing wall, appearing out of nowhere like a towering mountain, stood in the sky above the Marine Headquarters with an indestructible presence.
Bang
With a deafening roar, the heat from the sky slammed head-on into the imposing wall.
Then.
The Bolo Breath was like a water gun, spraying against a steel wall. It couldn't penetrate the wall of Haki at all, and could only be kept out, stopping abruptly above the Marine Headquarters.
The owner of the heat seemed to have also become angry.
Seeing that its attack was thwarted, it did not stop, but continued to release heat.
Like a burst dam in the Milky Way, the intense heat of the fire poured down, relentlessly bombarding the imposing wall.
However.
One second, two seconds, five seconds...
This breath of heat, piercing through the clouds and breaking through the sky, lasted for a full ten seconds, yet it still couldn't shake the imposing wall suspended in the sky above the headquarters in the slightest.
"It seems you won't give up until you suffer a bit!"
"never mind."
"Since you like playing with fire so much, then I'll show you what real fire is."
Rosen looked at the still-lingering heat, blocked by the wall, and shook his head:
"All things in the universe will turn to ashes, and the blade will flow like fire."
He clenched his five fingers and gently squeezed the air, and a Zanpakutō appeared out of thin air. Then, in the instant he swung the sword towards the sky, golden-orange flames swept across the sky, dyeing the clouds at headquarters with a layer of gold.
"Taimatsu!"
