Not many things happened in the year of Sea Calander in 1517, and Ace’s going to sea can be considered the most important thing of this year. In addition, Crocodile has been sent to Impel Down by him.
Under the crime of stealing the country, he was directly imprisoned in Lv.6, and the rebels naturally couldn’t talk about anything related to him.
The mysterious partner of the boss of the Baroque Works disappeared again, but Aokiji left for a month before returning to Headquarters.
The world does not revolve around a person. When Rowen concentrated on his training, the wave continued unchanged, eternal as a day tumbling forward.
In the past few days, one can still see the mention of the description of his deeds in the newspapers. In 1517, Rowen single-handedly killed the “Assassination King” Jino and defeated and captured Crocodile, both of this news were enough for the news report.
“Perhaps I should take a trip back to Water Seven, Ace went to sea this year and Franky returned to Water Seven, Iceberg must have also given him the Pluton Blueprint.”
Rowen silently thought in his heart.
His thoughts on the “Ancient Weapon·Pluton” are very simple. As the saying goes, ‘It’s easy to rule a country than to fight for it’. Now that he decides to go this way, he doesn’t want to be like Tenryubito, where there are rebellions and conflicts in each corner.
What he wants to rule is not just some countries, but the whole world!
The requirements for force and military strength are not that huge for him!
So Pluton can be born to help him, but Rowen can’t simply help the World Government clean up the Great Era of Pirates. Rowen will do it if it’s good for him.
The same is true for Sea King and Uranus, whose background is unknown.
At this moment, Ace, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.
“Hey!”
KāChā KāChā!
A handful of guns were immediately aimed at Ace’s various vital points, the leader Ensign officer is more than three meters tall, and he directly put the flint fire gun on Ace’s head as he spoke: “Don’t move!!!”
“Don’t worry, let him speak…” Rowen shook the ash of the cigar into the trash and raised his eyebrows at Ace.
“Yes!”
The Ensign officer’s rough face showed a look of reverence, and he stood up and saluted, and stepped aside. Then he pointed his index finger to his eyes, and then faced Ace, meaning “I’m watching you!”.
Ace ignored him and looked straight at Rowen’s indifferent eyes, and suddenly grinned as everyone watched in astonishment.
“You didn’t kill me because of the old man, right?”
“Yes…”
Rowen let out a puff of smoke before he spoke as he had nothing to hide, and glanced at him: “And what? Get to the point.”
“I know a secret that will give you unimaginable credit!”
Ace’s eyes contained madness. It can be seen that after his crew was annihilated, Ace has rapidly evolved from the previous innocent kid to a qualified pirate.
He is crazy, unrestrained, and fearless!
This is the look that didn’t appear on Ace’s face until he faced his death in the original work, this kind of madness and coldness can only be seen on the faces of veteran pirates who had been through life-and-death battles, this is the aura that a real Pirate has!
This was the Momentum of a King!
However…
It looks like this guy wanted to die.
Rowen did not move and frowned before he suddenly took out a bag of bread from under his desk. He didn’t know when he would also learn this habit. At present, he knew that, except for himself, every Vice Admiral likes to hide snacks in their office.
Snap!
The bread bag traversed an arc in the air before it accurately passed through the gap of the cage, and fell in front of Ace.
The latter was slightly taken aback and asked: “What is the meaning of this?”
“Your old man once asked me if I was interested in the great secret treasure Roger left behind, and do you know what answer I gave him?” Rowen didn’t answer but asked rhetorically.
Hearing the name that brought him endless pain and torture, the madness in Ace’s eyes was gradually replaced by hatred.
Rowen didn’t expect that Ace would answer, and continued to say to himself: “I told him I wasn’t interested,”
“Yeah! No shit! You are a Marine! How could you be interested in the treasure of a Pirate?” Ace spat in disdain.
“No, I wasn’t a Marine then…”
Rowen said a sentence that shocked everyone, only to hear him faintly recount: “Roger is a symbol of an era in your eyes and an unsurpassable mountain. Everyone is proud to find the great treasure and become the new Pirate King. But… I look down on him!”
This feeling of looking down on someone’s father in front of the other’s son is really…
Cool!
The expression on Ace’s face became ugly, no matter what, he is Roger’s son.
“What the hell are you trying to say?!” Ace gritted his teeth as he spits out every word.
“What I’m trying to say is…
Rowen clutched his cigar in one hand and leaned back into the back of his chair, resting his other hand on the backrest.
Shoo……
“I look down on you the same.”
Rowen’s face seemed to be looming within the smoke spat out by him, and those bright eyes, filled with the natural heights of reason, seemed to come from the gaze of the gods, penetrating Ace’s heart. Rowen smiled slightly while the latter was stunned.
“The King of Pirates… is nothing more than a joke.”
“You bastard!!!”
Ace suddenly turned violent as he burst out with his last strength with his body handcuffed by Seastone, he desperately approached the cage and the expression on his face looked like a wicked ghost.
“Hahaha…”
Rowen sneered as he ignored the frenzied Ace, he stood up and patted the bloody crust out of his clothes, and he dusted out a weirdly colored powder onto the ground. He walked towards the soldiers standing at the door to him to serve a change of clothes and he slowly said one step at a time.
“The bread has expired for three days, but one would be able to remain alive if they eats it.”
“Live well, Ace, I believe we will meet each other again…”
Behind him, Ace hissed and roared, completely ignoring the Ensign officer’s gun against his neck.
“Come back!! Come back here you bastard!!!”

– Now I’m confused…Vergo’s info was released during Punk Hazard and now Rowen has no idea about Sea King (which I assume is Poseidon) that was released during Fishman Arc
