One month after the Battle of Edd War,
The Roger Pirates lived a rare period of peaceful life, except...
"Bang--"
"This guy Bullet is still so reckless."
Knowing you can't win, but still fighting to the death is a kind of stupidity called stubbornness.
Ronan felt that this sentence was exactly applicable to Bullet now.
What made this guy think that Roger, a young boy less than 20 years old, could be defeated? What's more, he rushed forward without even mastering the dominance, and was killed in one blow every time.
After watching it for a long time, everyone on the boat got used to it.
Everyone thought that this farce would continue until Roger's pirate group landed on an island.
After Bullet was chopped off again, his expression was different from usual, as if he had made up his mind.
And only Ronan noticed this.
"Are you leaving, Bullet?"
Ronan chewed a piece of ham, leaned against the door frame, and watched Bullet packing his things.
Actually, there wasn't much to pack, just a few pieces of clothing, a few headphones, and some treasures.
"Um..."
Bullet turned his head and looked squarely at Ronan, whose strength he recognized. "Roger is dying. I have no hope of surpassing him in this lifetime. It's time to leave."
"So what are your plans next?"
Although Ronan asked this, he actually knew Bullet's choice.
As the final boss of the movie "Stampede", Bullet's strength is unquestionable, and he can even be said to be a hexagonal warrior.
A man known as the "Demon's Heir" who faced the Navy's Buster Call several times.
Luffy in Gear 4 looked weak in front of him, and beating the supernova was like beating a toy.
Of course, what impressed Ronan the most was the massive amount of Armament Haki that was enough to cover half of the island.
But in the end, he went astray and insisted on researching super giant combined giants, embarking on a dead end of becoming bigger but not stronger, and was treated as a target by a group of people.
Anyone who studies dominance instead of massive amounts of Armament Haki and giants will at least have a foundation as one of the Four Emperors.
"What are your plans? I don't know yet. I should probably get stronger first."
"What happens after you become stronger?"
"Challenge the next strongest person in the world."
Bullet said confidently, glancing at Ronan while speaking, which made Ronan stunned.
"Will you become something greater than Roger? D. Ronan."
"Uh...you don't mean to..."
Ronan raised his eyebrows, with some bad thoughts in his mind, and immediately regretted coming to see Bullet off.
"I can see that your courage and talent are definitely not inferior to anyone else's. When you step onto the world stage, perhaps we can have another fight."
"Eh? I don't want to bear any responsibility for Captain Roger... You should go find Shanks."
Bullet didn't answer, but Ronan could still see from his eyes that he hadn't changed his mind at all.
but,
Captain Roger is gone and you're looking for trouble with me. What's the logic?
Although Ronan felt that he had the potential to become one of the strongest people in the world in the future, it did not mean that he liked to seek trouble.
After all, I have known Bullet for a while. It is not necessary to kill Bullet just because he challenged me.
But even if you win, you will still be entangled, just like Bullet hanging on Roger's boat, with a small challenge every three days and a big challenge every five days. It's so annoying.
After chatting for a while, Bullet took the initiative to leave after landing. Surprisingly, no one tried to stop him.
Including Captain Roger, they just watched the other party leave.
Ronan is no exception. After all, Bullet is not the same kind of person as them.
He did not agree with his partners and only believed in his own absolute force, which was contrary to the ideas of everyone on the ship. It was only a matter of time before they parted ways.
Besides, even if Bullet doesn't leave, the team will be disbanded in two years.
Rayleigh also stood by the boat, watching Bullet's figure gradually disappear in the sunset. He hadn't felt much of a parting mood when he was interrupted by Ronan.
"Second Captain, when will you teach me how to bind with the Conqueror's Haki?"
"You little devil..."
Hearing this, Rayleigh suddenly lost all his mood. He looked at Ronan in front of him with a headache, regretting that he had agreed to it so carelessly.
"This kind of power requires no skill, Ronan, and your Conqueror's Haki needs to be strong enough."
"Huh? Then how can I make it strong enough?"
"As your strength increases, your courage will also increase. It's too early now.
There have been geniuses who awakened their Conqueror's Haki in childhood, but have you ever seen anyone so young who could wield Conqueror's Haki?"
Ah, this...
Ronan was speechless. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.
Whether it is Doflamingo, Ace, Yamato, or Katakuri.
Some of them awakened even earlier than Ronan, but without exception, they were unable to master the technique of Conqueror's Haki entanglement by middle age.
In other words, there are many powerful people who master the Conqueror's Haki in the New World, but there are only a few who are well-known for their dominance.
Maybe this kind of power really requires talent.
Ronan was silent for a long time, and finally gave up the fantasy of mastering the art of dominance at the age of 12.
However, Rayleigh did not completely coax him, and instead told Ronan and others how to wrap it around their body or weapon like Armament Haki after they have enough Conqueror's Haki.
The main point is that the techniques are told to you, but whether you can use them in the end is up to you.
By the way, there are also some techniques for using Divine Departure, which is a combination of Conqueror's Haki Infusion and Great Swordsman Swordsmanship, and is also very meaningful for Ronan to learn.
This scene was also seen by Buggy and Shanks who were not far away.
Seeing Ronan and the deputy captain discussing something that they were not yet involved in, the two of them had surprisingly similar thoughts at this moment.
Will they really be able to catch up with Ronan in the future...
"What are you two looking at?"
Ronan saw the two of them coming up and hugged their necks, smiling and asking,
"Nothing... Captain Roger said to hurry up and resupply, as we are heading to our next destination."
"where?"
"It's Wano Country."
Wano Country... Have we sailed here without realizing it?
It seems that the "end" is really not far away.
"I don't have much time, Ronan."
Behind the three little ones, Captain Roger came over with a smile and touched the heads of the three interns. There was no trace of the dejection and sadness that a dying person would have in his words.
"Let's explore the islands in the latter half of the New World. Maybe we'll encounter a surprise."
Ronan was speechless.
Because the result is that Roger really found a place and people who could interpret the true text of history in the remaining time.
Everything is guided by fate.
