A surge of blood rose in Rowen's chest.
What a ruthless little girl!
We have no grudges… wait, Crocodile, Goldenweek's boss, was the one who was sent by him into Impel Down, and he even severed his tendons and injured him severely. Even if he escaped like in the original story, he would still be a cripple.
Mr. 3, who had been working with Goldenweek all along, was directly killed by him on the spot. The high-level members of the Baroque Works, a huge organization, of which Sengoku said only Mr. 2 Bon Kurei and the mysterious boss's assistant, Miss All Sunday, managed to escape.
Originally, Bon Kurei was one of the ones captured. After all, when Aokiji arrived at Alabasta, he brought a Buster Call with him, and the scene was undeniably terrifying!
Bon Kurei, playing the role of Cobra, initially intended to bluff his way through and prove his innocence, but he was knocked unconscious by Aokiji, exposing his true identity. All doubts were resolved, and the Alabasta incident was perfectly resolved.
Afterward, Aokiji cooperated with government agents in transporting the Poneglyph, but unexpectedly, this gave Bon Kurei an opportunity.
He seized the chance during the return journey on the Battleship and managed to escape. His bounty was raised from 320,000,000 to 500,000,000. As a member of the "Thieving Nation" pirates, this bounty wasn't considered high.
Although Goldenweek grew up in the Hitman group without the concept of "comrades," she was still left homeless and destitute due to him. She doesn't hold any hatred towards him now, as Tsuru purified her soul and reestablished her worldview.
However, Tsuru's ability wasn't like Pudding and she couldn't erase memories. Dora still remembered what he had done.
Especially during the time when she was locked in a cage in the Flower Capital, the humiliation of using a chamber pot to urinate was something no girl would forget.
So, she was always prepared to take revenge on him.
Just like now…
Indeed, she had come to bring lunch to Momousagi, and there was a half-eaten lunch box on the table. Tsuru treated Momousagi like a younger sister, and naturally, Momousagi also treated Dora like a younger sister. Their relationship was indeed very close.
But with Momousagi being hassled by pirates causing chaos everywhere recently, Dora, who found Momousagi to be quite terrifying, made the decisive choice to leave. However, she unexpectedly found Rowen right outside, and immediately decided to lead the trouble away!
Whoever said that little girls were all angels? There's a traitor here!!
Of course, the most important thing was that the recent turmoil caused by the pirates was all because Kaido was thoroughly defeated this time… and Kaido's complete defeat was partly due to him.
Ignoring reason, shifting blame – wasn't this a woman's privilege?!!
As an Admiral Candidate, Momousagi was formidable. Rowen didn't dare to even think about secretly retaliating against Dora. The latter made a funny face at Rowen and waved before leaving.
"Momousagi Onee San, I'm going back now. Remember to eat on time!"
"Okay, thank you Dora-Chan. Send my regards to Tsuru-Sama for me!"
Momousagi nodded with a smile. After Dora left, her expression quickly turned cold, showcasing an astonishing speed of change.
"Last time, you said we'd spar after the mission was over. Well… I also want to see how far you've come, Vice Admiral Rowen!"
Clang!!
The famed blade, Konpira, emitted a sharp clang, and invisible Sword Energy burst forth as it was pulled out. There were no noticeable changes in the surrounding walls, but a scratch appeared out of thin air on the sleeve of Rowen's Justice cape.
Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Gion, codenamed "Momousagi," is the current strongest swordsman of the Marine Headquarters and the strongest female Vice Admiral!
If not for Fujitora and Ryokugyu's intervention in the original story, the dignified and elegant intellectual beauty before him would have been hailed as one of the "Marine's Strongest Forces" – a third Admiral!
Feeling the terrifying sword intent, Rowen suddenly calmed down. Fighting with Momousagi was his original goal. Although the starting point was subtle and weird, and the process was delicate, the result was still good! At this point, only battle mattered!
For a moment, surging electric light twined around him. His wide-open mouth, like a wicked demon's grin, his eyes filled with electric light, and his clothes fluttered without wind as if he were a god or a demon!
Bang!
The door was slammed open, revealing a figure with a friendly smile on his face. He looked to be around forty years old, short and thin, dressed in brownish-yellow clothes, wearing a matching round hat, and wearing wooden clogs.
"Momousagi, you…"
Chaton burst into the room, looked at the serious-faced Momousagi holding Konpira horizontally, then at Rowen, whose face was covered in a sinister smile and surrounded by electric light. He blinked his eyes.
"What's going on here?"
He felt that Momousagi had just burst forth with sword intent, so he rushed over like a flying fish. After all, he had confessed to the women in front of him a hundred times. Chaton was almost as familiar with Momousagi's sword intent as Momousagi herself.
He initially thought Momousagi had encountered some danger, but upon rushing in, he found Rowen… Chaton froze for two seconds, then suddenly realized.
"Oh, are you two going to spar now?"
He rubbed his hand with a bit of embarrassment and then awkwardly scratched the back of his head. "It seems like I'm one of them too… Um, can you guys wait a day before we do this? I have to make a trip to Sabaody today and won't be back until tomorrow."
Rowen had made it clear that he intended to challenge both of them. Regardless of whether Chaton liked it or not, he would have to accept this challenge. After all, fundamentally speaking, Rowen was not content with the current situation; he wanted to charge forward toward their positions and also be called one of the "Admiral candidates"!
As their seniors, they had both the qualification and obligation to conduct the initial screening for the position of Marine Admiral Candidate.
If Rowen didn't pass the screening, no matter how great his achievements were, he would never become an Admiral!
In other words, Momousagi and Chaton were Rowen's examiners, holding the power of life and death over him. It's just that now, the examinee was a bit stronger than the examiners…
"That's right, this kind of thing needs to be notified to Fleet Admiral Sengoku in advance. After all, someone definitely didn't think that much and just came straight to me, right?" Momousagi suddenly withdrew all of her sword intent and gave a contemptuous roll of her eyes.
Rowen: "…"
There's this too???
I really didn't know about this!
"By the way, Chaton, why are you going to Sabaody? Are the Supernovas causing trouble again?" Momousagi shifted her gaze from Rowen to Chaton. It's been quite rare to see Supernovas recently. In previous years, there would be at least three batches in a year, with several people in each batch.
But now, halfway through the year, not one has been seen!
They all either perished halfway or died under Marine cannon fire.
"Supernovas" represented the fearless spirit of young calves facing tigers. Faced with Marines, who had suddenly jumped from normal difficulty to Hell difficulty, they still charged forward with a roar. Then, they were knocked senseless and died from saturation bombing. This was considered normal at the current time.
"They did cause some trouble, but the Pacifistas have already dealt with it. I am going there to bring them back."
Chaton shrugged, lit a cigarette, and said, "Pacifistas sure are handy. I heard that the stationed Marines didn't even have a chance to act this time."
Ever since Kizaru caused trouble in Sabaody last time, Pacifistas had been stationed on Sabaody Archipelago one to two years in advance. They usually dealt with small-time pirates, but this time, they managed to hook a big fish.
Supernovas were individuals whose bounties reached over a hundred million within a year of setting sail!
The strength of the Pacifistas that could solve them without bothering the stationed Marines could be imagined!
"Well then, since that's the case, I'll head back first…" Rowen smacked his lips. He felt that standing here wasn't achieving anything, so he bid his farewell.
As soon as he left, the news of his intention to challenge Momousagi and Chaton quickly spread throughout the entire headquarters in just half an hour.
Countless soldiers lost interest in training and eagerly placed bets with senior officials on who would win or lose the next day.
After all, challenging an Admiral candidate was something that hadn't happened in the Marines for five to six years!
