OPTM-Chapter 142 Grandfather & Grandson

Previous ChapterNext Chapter


Just as Rowen was considering whether to go back and talk to Sengoku and tell him to watch out for Mozambia, a soldier knocked on the door. 

“Boom Boom Boom!”

“Come in……”

Wow… Boom!

With a standard and exaggerated leg-bumping salute, the soldier raised his head and shouted with a reverent expression on his face.

“Reporting!”

“Rear Admiral Rowen, there is a call for you!”

“Got it, I’ll be right over ……”

Rowen nodded. At this moment, Mozambia suddenly said in a sad tone: “Rget are my soldier and they didn’t even see me…”

The soldier only noticed Rowen just now and he didn’t even glance at the hospital bed at all.

This made Mozambia heartbroken and he felt that he had raised a group of white-eyed wolves…

“Worship the strong is the common nature of all living creatures, only a strong leader can be a good leader in this world.”

Rowen felt that it was necessary for Mozambia to establish the belief that “Power is everything”.

After all, New World is not Paradise, and even the Marine Headquarters will not dare to say that they are invincible and safe in the New World.

Only when he stays at the Base Head of the Branch of New World G-5 and always hangs around under Doflamingo’s eye, can he make things more difficult for the other party.

“Caesar has already started designing the third phase of the Thunder-Lightning Stimulation Device. It will be able to help you by then and I will send one to the G-5 branch.”

The second phase of the Thunder-Lightning Stimulation Device is mainly used by the Rear Admirals and various low-level officers of the Marine Headquarters, but the third phase is not that simple. 

The Thunder-Lightning Stimulation Device, which Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) classified as the same level as the ‘Peace Pacifista’, is almost as limited as Rowen’s Thunder-Lightning Stimulation Method. 

Regardless of energy and material considerations, there is no end to the Thunder-Lightning Stimulation Device!

Mozambia’s eyes lit up when he heard Rowen’s words.

“A deal?”

“It’s a deal!

“I will be going then!

Saying goodbye to Mozambia, Rowen leaves the infirmary.

Back at the office, the Den Den Mushi has been waiting for a long time. The Den Den Mushi is not simulating Trane’s appearance with a hat and sunglasses, but the face it is simulation has a small pin-like gray short hair and a saggy face full of wrinkles.

“Garp?”

Rowen slightly frowned, wondering why Garp is calling him at this time.

Reaching out his hand, the Den Den Mushi’s body visibly shook, and suddenly it shrank back a little.

Rowen was still stained with blood and smelled like a fishy smell. It didn’t feel strange to him to smell it but it was quite pungent to the Den Den Mushi. 

At the same time, because Rowen had just finished killing and was covered in Killing Intent, ordinary people did not dare to stand in front of him.

So it is Den Den Mushi’s racial resilience that has come into play when it did not directly pass out.

After all, even the Yonkō (Four Emperors) would use a Den Den Mushi in every situation, so wouldn’t it be useless if it gets stunned every time a Yonko level powerhouse touches it?

Rowen impatiently grabbed the shivering Den Den Mushi and asked, “What do you want Garp?”

“Rowen!”

Garp screamed with joy, and screamed violently: “You have to kill those Pirates you let escape! You can’t let the news of Ace’s defeat spread out!”

“Huh? Why?”

Naturally, Rowen had a reason to let those Pirates go, and he was assigned by Sengoku to execute the Mission in whatever way he could. 

So Garp does not have the right to give him direct orders like these and Rowen could naturally ask to know the reason.

At this moment, the Den Den Mushi spit out an answer that made Rowen stunned.

Garp took a deep breath and spoke seriously.

“We want Ace to succeed Crocodile as a Shichibukai!”

Let Ace… become a Shichibukai?!

Rowen jerked back and locked eyes with a strange-looking Ace. The Warden and the soldiers have already left the office after Garp called over, and at that moment, there were only the two of them here. 

From Ace’s dumbfounded attitude, Garp hadn’t told him in advance and hadn’t even communicated with him.

“Hey old man, what are you talking about!”

Before Rowen opened his mouth, Ace yelled out: “I want to be the King of Pirates! I’m not going to become a Shichibukai!!”

“Bastard! Do you even know what’s going on now?!”

Garp became angry when he heard Ace’s words and shouted: “If you don’t become a Shichibukai then you would rot away your life in Impel Down!!”

Rowen suddenly realized something as he heard the conversation between the Grandfather and the Grandson.

Indeed, in the original book, Ace was indeed invited to become a Shichibukai, which even alarmed Shanks and Whitebeard. 

One day in the future, after Ace challenged Jinbe, he spent a few months with Whitebeard before he was finally convinced by that man and became his son and joined the Whitebeard Pirates.

But……

Now because of Rowen’s intervention, Ace has become a prisoner. It stands to reason that he is no longer qualified to become a Shichibukai, right?

“Garp, I need an explanation.”

The expression on Rowen’s face turned cold, he didn’t care how important the War of the Best was. Now that he had caught Ace, Ace is nothing more than his Military Merits! If Garp wants to protect Ace then he would be erasing Rowen’s Military Merits!

For Rowen, he has already done Garp a huge favor by not killing Ace, and now this Old Fart wants to erase his Military Merits…

Did you get your head kicked?!!

Hearing Rowen’s icy tone, Garp recovered from his anxiety and was about to explain something but suddenly, a hand came from the side and took away Garp’s Den Den Mushi.

“It’s me, Rowen.”

“Vice-Admiral Tsuru?!”

Rowen was taken aback. Now that Tsuru has appeared, doesn’t it mean that Fleet Admiral Sengoku has also given his approval for this?

Tsuru glanced at Garp and said faintly: “Don’t worry, the credit for capturing Ace this time will still be counted on you, but it will not be disclosed to the public. The specifics are very complicated, so let’s talk about it when you come back. Now, immediately take care of those pirates who had escaped from you. The pirates need to be completely destroyed, don’t let the news of Ace’s arrest leak out, Understood?”
