Gild Tesoro has remained at Marine Headquarters since the conferment ceremony for the rank of admiral.
Although he was at the Marine Headquarters, he wasn't idle.
On the contrary, through Den Den Mushi, he has been remotely controlling his golden empire, gradually expanding his business empire to seven routes in the first half of the Grand Line.
Especially with the manpower and resources provided by the Marine Headquarters.
Gild Tesoro's expansion of power can only be described as terrifying.
The gold empire expanded wildly, resulting in a surge in asset prices.
According to statistics from the Marine Headquarters' Finance Department.
He currently owns 10% of the world's Berry, and that number is increasing every day.
However,
While Gild Tesoro was pleased with the surge in his wealth, his mind was constantly preoccupied with something else.
Bru…bru
Finance Department.
In the minister's office, the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) on the desk suddenly started beeping urgently.
"I am Gild Tesoro."
Gild Tesoro reached out and picked up the microphone.
The people who can get a call to your office are all very important figures in the world.
Therefore, he did not have his secretary answer the phone.
"Lieutenant General Tesoro."
"Please proceed to the inner bay immediately."
"General Rosen wants to see you."
Gion's voice came through the Den Den Mushi's receiver.
"good!"
"Please convey my message to General Rosen and ask him to wait a moment."
"I'll be there right away."
When Gild Tesoro learned that Rosen wanted to see him, and that the meeting place was in the Inner Bay, his pupils constricted, his face showed excitement, and his voice trembled.
"good!"
Upon hearing Gild Tesoro's trembling voice, Gion could perfectly imagine Gild Tesoro's expression at that moment.
Knowing about his story with Stella, she could fully understand his reaction to Gild Tesoro.
After all, who would be willing to demand an explanation from the World Government and the Celestial Dragons for the sake of their subordinate, especially a woman who has been dead for many years?
Only Rosen could achieve this level of skill across the Grand Line and the four seas.
Stella.
"You, just bear with it a little longer!"
"I'll take you away right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Gild Tesoro stood there for a moment, muttering excitedly, before turning tail and running out the door.
He immediately used Armament Haki and rushed towards the inner bay of the headquarters like lightning.
"Celestial Dragons".
On the deck of the warship anchored in the inner bay, Rosen sensed Gild Tesoro's turbulent emotions, and his heart skipped a beat.
Those who didn't know the situation might have thought Gild Tesoro was going to retrieve his beloved, but in reality, he was only going to retrieve her body.
Even so, Gild Tesoro was overjoyed.
"The world of One Piece is sick."
Rosen lay on the chair, muttering to himself.
Yes.
The world of One Piece is sick, and very sick at that.
If this world isn't sick, why would Gild Tesoro be overjoyed and weeping simply for retrieving Stella's body?
As for anything else, I dare not even dream of it anymore.
It's because the pirate world is sick, and the root of the problem is the Celestial Dragons, that even the mighty Golden Emperor, a man who currently controls 10% of the world's Berries, is reduced to such a humble and painful state.
"and."
"It's not a disease yet."
Rosen leaned back in his chair, his gaze shifting uncertainly.
If the root of the world's problems is the Celestial Dragons...
Pirates are one of the complications arising from the root cause of the Celestial Dragons.
Moreover, it is the most severe type of symptom.
To cure it completely, not only must the root cause be removed, but also all the complications caused by the Celestial Dragons must be eliminated.
call out
Just as Rosen was deep in thought, a figure, trailing a visible shockwave, hurtled towards the inner bay from a distance like a cannonball.
The person who arrived was Gild Tesoro, who had received the call from Gion.
"General Rosen."
"Feel sorry."
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Gild Tesoro activated his Armament Haki and rushed from the headquarters' finance department to the inner bay in one breath. He boarded the warship and, after arriving in front of it, said, slightly out of breath.
"I should say that I'm the one who kept you waiting."
Rosen put his thoughts to rest.
"No."
"If it weren't for you, I would never have been able to wait another hundred years for this day to come."
Gild Tesoro shook his head repeatedly.
Let's go.
Gion.
Upon hearing this, Rosen simply smiled and then instructed Gion to set sail.
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Gion immediately ordered the Marine on deck to start the warship.
As the waves rippled outwards, the warships anchored in the inner bay resembled a drawn blade, piercing towards the Red Line.
"Rosen."
"If we're going to Mary Geoise, wouldn't it be faster to use the Garganta?"
Feeling the coolness of the sea breeze on her face, Gion was a little puzzled.
Since becoming Rosen's second-in-command, this wasn't the first time she had traveled with him, but on every occasion, the Garganta was always used as their mode of transportation.
This is the first time that warships have been used in this manner.
"If the Garganta is used, the Five Elders will be very uneasy."
Rosen chuckled softly.
If war were to break out, Garganta would certainly be the first choice, but his trip to Mary Geoise was not to start a war with the World Government.
"Isn't it because you held Hyōrinmaru to the Five Elders' necks last time?!"
Upon hearing this, Gion seemed to be deep in thought.
Ever since Rosen projected the power of Hyōrinmaru into the skies of Mary Geoise, separating the Marine Headquarters from the Red Line, the Five Elders have become paranoid and see threats everywhere.
Not only was Mary Geoise heavily guarded on its outskirts, but the skies were also under strict surveillance.
It was clearly to avoid being held by the neck by Hyōrinmaru a second time.
As Rosen's deputy, Gion had also heard about the changes in Mary Geoise.
If Rosen were to use the Garganta at this moment to tear apart the sky above the Red Line and descend upon Mary Geoise, the Five Elders, already in a state of panic and paranoia, might very well act out of control.
This would clearly be detrimental to the subsequent negotiations.
"General Rosen."
"Mary Geoise is, after all, the headquarters of the World Government."
"How about we bring Bullet along too?"
When Gild Tesoro learned that Rosen had chosen to sail to the Red Line instead of using his Garganta for his sake, he was moved and also noticed the combat strength reserves on the warship.
Putting Rosen aside, the only other capable fighter on the deck besides himself was Gion.
Realizing this, he quickly made a suggestion to Rosen.
Gild Tesoro wasn't worried that Rosen had brought too few people to bring Stella back; rather, he was worried that the Five Elders would harbor ill intentions if they saw that Rosen had only brought himself and Gion.
After all, if he were one of the Five Elders, he wouldn't miss this opportunity to keep Rosen.
"It doesn't matter."
Rosen shook his head at Gild Tesoro's suggestion.
"I see."
Having taken in Rosen's composed demeanor, Gild Tesoro felt relieved.
He knew that his king was not the kind of person who was rash and arrogant.
Since he chose to take only himself and Gion to Mary Geoise, he must have prepared various contingency plans well in advance.
"Oh, right."
Gion.
"Tell the Five Elders that I am going to Mary Geoise to speak with them in person."
Rosen said to Gion.
His Observation Haki allowed him to perceive everything clearly.
Just as Gion knew, after being held by the neck by Hyōrinmaru once, the Five Elders no longer possessed the dignified and unyielding demeanor they once had when looking down upon the masses.
Instead, they became suspicious and paranoid.
If the Five Elders only find out when I arrive on the Red Line, they'll probably start to think it's going to lead to war.
Rosen wasn't afraid of war, but he didn't want to start a war with the World Government before the pirates were wiped out, or at least before the Four Emperors were eliminated.
Firstly, they didn't want to benefit the pirates.
Secondly, we do not want the Marine to suffer too many casualties.
Third, the Marine is currently preparing to replace the Celestial Dragons' order.
for example.
Combat suits are now standard issue across the entire military.
Mass-produced artificial Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Beast type, Azure Dragon form.
There are also surveillance cameras installed along all seven flight paths of the Paradise, as well as in the New World.
As long as the above three things are done.
Whether it's replacing the World Government or reshaping the world order, both options can minimize Marine casualties and reduce the pain caused to the world during the process of eliminating the Celestial Dragons, the root of the problem.
Before that, Rosen will do his best to suppress the Grand Line and maintain a balance between the Marine Headquarters and the World Government.
...
...
Mary Geoise.
Bru…bru
In the Hall of Power, Jaygarcia Saturn, sitting on the sofa, reached out and picked up the incessantly ringing Den Den Mushi (a type of telephone insect) receiver from the table, then held it to his ear.
"Your Excellency, the Five Elders."
"Hello."
"I am Gion, the adjutant of General Rosen."
Jaygarcia Saturn didn't care who Gion was, but when he heard the name Rosen, he immediately sat up straight, looking very proper.
"Next."
"General Rosen will travel to Mary Geoise to meet with you."
"To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings or conflicts, he specifically asked me to inform you in advance."
Gion's voice came through the Den Den Mushi's receiver.
"Give the phone to Rosen."
"I want to talk to him in person."
Upon hearing this, Jaygarcia Saturn's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately gave the order to Gion.
Aloof and superior for years on end.
Even though the Marine Headquarters has become independent, he still habitually treats everyone except Im with an air of superiority.
"There's no need for that."
Gion glanced at Rosen beside her and saw that he had closed his eyes and was pretending to be asleep, so she directly refused the Five Elders' request.
The night before she took up her post as Rosen's adjutant, Tsuru had a long talk with her, which made her understand something.
At Marine Headquarters, he was Rosen's adjutant.
Once outside the Marine Headquarters, he represents the Shinigami Admiral.
If she loses face, it won't just be Gion's face that's lost, but Rosen's face as well.
so.
Gion was already prepared for this even before becoming Rosen's lieutenant.
She can die, but she cannot let Rosen's reputation be tarnished.
Even if the other party is the highest ruler of the World Government, the Five Elders who stand at the top of all Celestial Dragons.
