"Junior."
"He's too strong."
"It was stronger than any of us expected."
In the square of the Marine academy, Borsalino watched Rosen on the video screen.
at this time.
His eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, were filled with shock.
Having witnessed Rosen's battle with Sakazuki and seen him display the strongest fire-type Zanpakutō, Ryūjin Jakka, he thought he had a clear understanding of Rosen's strength.
Borsalino only realized this after witnessing Rosen completely remove the Ochoku Pirates from the ranks of the Four Emperors.
Rosen's strength far exceeded his expectations.
I also gained a more intuitive understanding of something.
That was when Rosen used Ryūjin Jakka in the New World, and his Ennetsu Jigoku technique could truly destroy an area with a radius of hundreds of kilometers in an instant, turning everything into a hellish wasteland.
The best proof is that Hyōrinmaru, who buried the Four Emperors, and Hyōten Hyakkasō, who froze the King.
Both are the strongest Zanpakutō of the ice and snow type.
Rosen unleashed the Hyōten Hyakkasō with Hyōrinmaru, first freezing the sky, then freezing the sea, and finally bringing down a snowstorm that stretched for an unknown number of square kilometers, blooming a hundred ice flowers on Ochoku's body, completely burying one of the Four Emperors on Hachinosu.
That's the strongest Zanpakutō of the fire element.
A fiery hell where blades flow like fire.
Once those ten towering pillars of fire are detonated, the outcome will inevitably be no different from the Hyōten Hyakkasō.
The only difference.
Ryūjin Jakka brings a scorching hell, while Hyōrinmaru brings an extremely cold hell.
"Since the existence of the Four Emperors in the New World, the Navy has fought against them countless times, but never once has it managed to break into the Four Emperors' headquarters and be completely wiped out in one battle."
"Now we have it."
"It wasn't a full-scale attack, but a single Marine stormed into the Yonko's headquarters and wiped out an entire Yonko pirate crew."
Sengoku stared intently at Rosen, his face showing emotion as he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
He had fought Ochoku before and knew the man's strength very well.
He was confident he could defeat his opponent before the opponent ate the Warp-Warp Fruit, but after the opponent ate the Warp-Warp Fruit, it would be much more difficult.
Paramecia Instant Transmission Fruit.
Despite seemingly lacking offensive and defensive capabilities, this allowed Ochoku to remain invincible.
Difficult to defeat.
They cannot be encircled and annihilated.
Because the opponent can teleport away at any time, and they can take the entire Yonko crew with them and teleport away instantly.
"You no longer need my help or support."
"No."
"You should say that you never needed to."
Thinking of this, a hint of relief flashed in Sengoku's eyes.
He no longer had to worry about the lack of successors in the Navy Headquarters, nor did he have to do his best to extend his prime.
Even if my prime is over, it doesn't matter anymore.
With Rosen in the Navy, the Grand Line can be dominated.
"Rosen."
"turn out to be."
"You've come this far!"
Zephyr's expression was very complicated after witnessing Rosen annihilate the Ochoku Pirates.
There was relief, excitement, elation, and also a sense of relief.
After Borsalino's explanation, he understood.
Rosen did all this so that Zephyr could break free from twenty years of regret and pain on his birthday.
From then on, a new chapter in life began.
"We are graduating today, but he has already reached the pinnacle of the world."
"It stands at a height that no navy in history has ever reached."
As Gion watched the video of the man who had single-handedly slaughtered the emperor, her beautiful eyes gleamed with an unprecedented brilliance.
We need to pick up the pace.
"Only by becoming an Admiral can you see his back."
Gion wholeheartedly agreed with the addition of this idea.
past.
Having the magnanimity of a great Admiral is the threshold for meeting Rosen.
Now.
Only by becoming a Navy Admiral can one be qualified to follow Rosen.
otherwise.
Don't even think about seeing his back.
Has the gap between us really gotten that big?
Smoker shook his head.
"Smoker."
"Even a single Yonko crew wouldn't be enough to kill Rosen, yet you dared to challenge such a monster all by yourself."
"Hina, I admire you."
Hina couldn't help but think of Smoker's challenge to Rosen more than half a year ago.
Whether it's ignorance of one's own limitations or unruly behavior, it doesn't matter.
In short, in her opinion, Smoker's actions back then were something the other party could brag about for a lifetime.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Smoker opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.
He wanted to graduate early, but was met with a furious rebuke from Zephyr, who said that Smoker was not worthy.
With his rebellious nature, he found Rosen, who had graduated early.
It wasn't about defeating this man, but simply about proving that I could withstand a single move from him.
result.
Rosen didn't even bother to make a move; he simply used his Conqueror's Haki to suppress Smoker to the point where Smoker was unable to use the Smoke-Smoke Fruit.
This defeat was once considered a disgrace by Smoker, and he used it to spur himself on to grow.
But now that Hina has said it, he realizes that this humiliating defeat seems to have really become something he can brag about for the rest of his life.
after all.
Even the entire Ochoku Pirates crew combined couldn't defeat Rosen alone, yet Smoker challenged Rosen single-handedly.
With a little polishing, it could easily become White Hunter challenging the strongest navy in a thousand years and surviving.
...
...
Hachinosu.
Rosen watched as Ochoku, in his dying moments, used all his strength to successfully press the Black Blade against his chest, watching as the blade gradually lost all its domineering aura and reverted to the form of an ordinary sword.
Clang
He extended two fingers and pinched Ochoku's knife between them.
Even without the Armament Haki enhancement of a Yonko, the sword is still incredibly sharp.
But the knife between Rosen's two fingers was like a child's toy; even when the blade touched his fingers directly, it couldn't leave a single white mark. Instead, it produced a series of ear-piercing metallic clanging sounds.
Obviously.
Having practised for nearly a year and consumed a massive amount of sea king flesh and blood, Rokugan Rebirth's physique was no longer that of a mere mortal when he first transmigrated.
He wasn't born with a monstrous physique, but through the training of Rokugan Rebirth, he forged a monstrous body.
Its skin is as tough as a steel balloon.
His muscles are as strong as those of a diamond.
The body and the inside are the same.
Even without the 24/7 active Hierro, which is like a passive skill, he is still no less capable than Kaido and Big Mom in every aspect, including physical defense, speed, strength, health, and recovery.
This is the only Rokugan Rebirth who has been Practicing for a year.
If this continues, surpassing monsters like Kaido and Big Mom in physical strength will be a piece of cake.
When Rosen removed Ochoku's sword from his body, he noticed a tiny black dot on his Justice Coat where the blade had been pressed against it.
The Emperor's dying blow seemed to only tear open the cloak of justice, leaving a tiny gap.
but
Rosen's gaze swept over the black spots on the Justice Coat. He reached out and pressed his hand on the spots, wiping them gently as if removing dust.
Then.
He withdrew his right hand.
After Rosen gently wiped it, the black spots that were originally on the Justice Coat have disappeared.
Clearly, it wasn't a gap at all.
His coat of justice was not pierced.
Ochoku's fatal blow couldn't even leave a tiny tear in his clothes.
At most, it can only be considered as leaving behind a speck of dust.
"I really underestimated you, Ochoku."
"In the end, he is still one of the Four Emperors."
"Even with the combined power of the entire pirate crew, they managed to get my clothes dirty."
After wiping away a speck of dust left on the Justice Coat by Ochoku's knife, Rosen turned and glanced at Ochoku inside the Hundred Flowers Ice Pillar, muttering to himself.
