Kuzan and Rosse's conversation quickly ended.
Rosse looked at Kuzan's back, his gaze didn't fluctuate much.
Kuzan's intention, he actually understood very clearly. It wasn't really to see what kind of person he was, it was just that Kuzan was feeling lost inside and wanted to find some peace of mind.
But even if he found peace of mind, didn't the things still need to be done?
Could it be that persuading himself meant he didn't need to carry out the Buster Call? Didn't need to besiege Whitebeard?
If Kuzan could really make up his mind to betray the Marine and seek his own justice, then Rosse really would look at him differently.
If he could bundle Sengoku and Garp along as well, that would be even better.
"Milord, what did he come here for?", Moa stood behind Rosse, kneading his shoulders, and asked softly.
She found Kuzan a bit inexplicable.
Came here to ask a bunch of questions, then left without expressing any stance.
Didn't say what he was going to do, he didn't refute Rosse's words, no idea what he came for.
"Him? Just being pretentious," Rosse snorted lightly and said with feigned dissatisfaction, "Not willing to work for me, yet wants to hold a high position in the Marine and carry out his so-called justice. There's no such good thing in this world."
"But since it's about upholding justice, justice without restrictions is the kind of justice they want to implement, right?", Moa had a sudden thought and tried to plant a seed against Kuzan.
This rise and fall dynamic.
With the current strength of the World Government, the Revolutionary Army doesn't even have a sliver of hope.
If they could rope in Kuzan, the Revolutionary Army might gain a top-tier combat force.
Having followed Rosse for so long, she understood very well the value of top-tier combat strength.
Without top-tier combat strength, the World Government wouldn't even spare a glance.
"Most likely that's the case, but if he harbors any disloyalty, then the World Government won't be polite," Rosse's lips curled slightly, how could he not know what Moa meant?
But what they needed was for Kuzan to betray the World Government. Otherwise, his side would be too strong.
He wasn't the one sitting in the highest position, and he didn't want to see the World Government strong enough to crush everything.
Smack!
Rosse suddenly reached out and slapped Moa's lower back heavily.
However, since they were planning to manipulate Kuzan, then let him see Moa's sincerity.
"Ah!"
Moa's face flushed slightly, how could she not understand Rosse's intention?
After so many times in sync, Rosse only needed to raise his hand slightly, and she would know what posture to change into.
She definitely wasn't willingly sinking into depravity.
'It is all for the Revolutionary Army,' Moa thought resolutely in her heart, turned her back to Rosse, and bent down slightly. [T/N: Doggy]
———
Marine Headquarters, dozens of Marine warships departed from the harbor.
Sakazuki and Borsalino stood in front of the port, watching the Buster Call fleet leave.
The fleet would travel all the way to Fish-Man Island, carry out the Buster Call there, then head directly to the New World, and go through the Calm Belt to the North Blue to encircle the Whitebeard Pirates.
Although the journey and time were a bit long, they currently couldn't locate the Whitebeard Pirates' whereabouts, so this was a last resort.
"Yo yo yo, they all left at once, the whole headquarters is a lot quieter now," Borsalino said with a giggle.
"Hmph! Always so unserious. Why don't you think about how to improve yourself," Sakazuki glanced at Borsalino, they were old acquaintances and both members of the first training camp under Zephyr.
He still found Borsalino's laziness somewhat displeasing. But after all, he was one of their own.
"Vice Admiral-sama, improving oneself is something big figures like you need to consider. A mere Rear Admiral like me doesn't need to think about such things," Borsalino still maintained his playful demeanor, completely unaffected by Sakazuki's words.
This world was gradually getting better, that was enough.
Whether he did something or not wouldn't change the world anyway.
If a small figure like him got involved in the power struggles of big figures, there wouldn't even be scraps left of him.
"Just got word, Big Mom recently captured a group of people. Go deal with it. Whether it's negotiation or forceful rescue, you must ensure their safety," Sakazuki said calmly.
"Oh? At this time, we're going to offend Big Mom?", Borsalino showed rare surprise upon hearing Sakazuki's order.
Right now, they were executing a Buster Call and also planning to encircle the Whitebeard Pirates, provoking Big Mom too seemed unwise.
"This is an order from the World Government. The person captured by Big Mom is named Doflamingo, once a member of the Celestial Dragons," Sakazuki said flatly.
This wasn't something he made up, it was an order just issued today by the World Government.
He hadn't heard of Doflamingo before, but Rosse had told him that the man's family was once Celestial Dragons but later gave up the status.
But it's said that Doflamingo knows some things he shouldn't, and neither he nor those secrets can fall into Big Mom's hands.
Although Sakazuki felt Rosse was scheming something behind the scenes.
As long as it wasn't related to eliminating pirates, it had nothing to do with him.
If the opportunity presented itself, he even wanted to directly kill Big Mom. But unfortunately, with Borsalino's nature, even if he could win, he wouldn't do it.
Besides, he might not even win.
And with a shortage of combat strength, he couldn't leave Marine Headquarters, he could only give up on this opportunity.
"Doflamingo, huh… I see. Tsk tsk, Big Mom's already reaching for the Celestial Dragons? He's really miserable," Borsalino laughed lewdly.
Everyone knew, Big Mom was obsessed with collecting different bloodlines.
Getting caught by Big Mom, previously a Celestial Dragon, he was definitely captured to breed with Big Mom.
You have to know, 20 years ago, Big Mom was a great beauty whose looks echoed across the world.
Even now approaching 50 and having given birth over a dozen times, if not for that, being captured might've even been enjoyable.
Borsalino didn't think anything was wrong. With how big this Celestial Dragon scandal had become, there was no prestige left.
If Big Mom didn't express some interest in this regard, then that would be what's strange.
Whitebeard had already killed members of the God's Knights. Big Mom capturing a former Celestial Dragon with a revoked status really wasn't a big deal.
But who would've thought that this former Celestial Dragon still held some secrets, to the point that Borsalino had to go rescue him?
"But if I leave, then there'll only be you left at Headquarters," Borsalino teased.
For once, all the high-end combat power of the Marine Headquarters was out in full force.
Only Sakazuki the radical was left. If anything happened, the only one who could provide support would be Sakazuki.
"Hmph! with me, it's enough," Sakazuki snorted coldly, not thinking there was any problem at all.
What a joke.
Even if he stood alone, with thousands of pirates attacking, it would still be certain death for them.
