The Palace of the Summer Region has a pleasant climate because of the snow-capped mountains and cold wind. The flower plants in the garden are full of beautiful flowers.
But this beautiful view which could honestly be taken out of a scroll, two violent auras continue to rise, forming a real storm, destroying everything in the garden!
On one side was the formidable Thunder Dragon, slowly fluttering its wings, wherever it went, the grass dies without any chance of getting reborn again. On the other side, thick black smoke faintly mixed with orangutan fire set the ground on fire.
Countless people looked at the direction of the garden in awe and were surprised by the two auras.
“Hey, I hope Fred can understand everything I do…”
In the depths of the palace, Queen Rosa stood by the window and her eyebrows rising from the past, adding a bit of melancholy.
“He will understand, Your Majesty.”
A sturdy figure in black stood behind Queen and answered after hearing this.
“I hope so…huh? It seems that the winner has been decided?”
In the distance, the Thunder Dragon suddenly shrank and then spread out. At the same time, the thick black smoke also expelled outwards, dissipating in the air. When everything calmed down, the entire garden disappeared, leaving only a ruined ruin in place, without any trace of life.
A few minutes later, the guard informed Rowen to go and see the Queen.
At this time, Rowen has changed into the unique leafy uniform of Huadu West Island (Flower Capital) Guards, with a carefully selected white rose on his chest, which symbolizes Queen Rosa as the heart. After the announcement, Rowen walked into the Queen’s room and knelt on one knee.
“Your Majesty!”
“You… you didn’t tell him the truth, Rowen?”
Rosa is not in her Empress Grabs and she also didn’t have the aura of a Monarch at this moment. At this moment, she is just an old woman worried about the younger generation. The sadness in her tone can even be heard by a deaf person!
“I did not, I have plenty of time!”
“That is good!”
Rosa raised her head and looked at Rowen in amazement: “I will count on you, Mr. Rowen!”
“Understood!”
…
After half an hour, where Marines are stationed.
“You mean, you pretended to surrender and let Fred tell the whereabouts of the Baroque work agency?”
Garp looked at Rowen with a look of surprise on his face and spoke: “That was unexpected, Rowen, you even know how to play tricks on your opponent?”
It was very unexpected that Rowen would become the Chief Imperial Guard of the Palace, but considering that Rowen has an important role and needs a suitable identity to walk around the palace, this is quite good.
However, Fred would even give Rowen all the information he has on the Baroque Agency just so he could pull Rowen to his side, which surprised Garp!
Rowen rolled his eyes and said angrily, “Stop with your nonsense! Fred is wishing that Marines would find the Baroque Work agency and eradicate them, he is wishing to borrow a knife to kill someone without even lifting a hand! Even if I didn’t pretend to surrender to him, he would have secretly leaked information he has on the Baroque Work Agency and he will let us help him get rid of these hyenas.”
Rowen asked after taking a sip of water, “What should I do next? If I want to move against Fred then it seems I have no chance…”
Since Fred dared to wark with a shady organization then he must erase all traces of his contact with the Baroque Work Agency. Even if the Marines captures all the people from the Baroque Work Agency, there is absolutely no way that they would find any substantive evidence against him.
After all, as he said, it has been four full months!
Knowing Marines Justice’s heart, how could he leave anything that will come back to bite him in the ass?
So even if the Marines convicted him in order to save Queen, but there was no definite proof…
Counting the arrest of the people from the Baroque Work Agency, Queen Rosa would still face pressure from the Allied Kingdom Member Alliance and would have to abdicate the Throne. What could the Marines do to protect the Queen from that turmoil?
That’s the main problem they are facing!
And Rowen was right. Fred wished that the Marines would take the initiative to wipe out the remaining forces of the Baroque Agency on the island and kill them. Once the Marine army is deployed, the palace is bound to be turbulent!
Until then, the division of troops is the only result that they could bring.
“Are you sure that you can protect the Queen from Fred’s attack, Rowen?”
This matter involves the safety of Queen Rosa so Trane asked with a serious tone.
In response, Rowen shook his head readily: “No!”
“Fred is a Paramecia Coal-Coal Fruit Ability user, I can crush him in terms of lethality, and adding my Logia’s Elementalization physique, I will win the fight! But if he is not fighting for winning, but for the purpose of killing the Queen, then the Rumble-Rumble Fruit’s lethality is actually a drawback against the Coal-Coal Fruit, as I have no defensive measure which I could deploy to protect anyone besides myself.”
Fighting with Fred in the afternoon, apart from creating a no-man’s land isolation, the two guys who were fighting were also testing each other. As Rowen said, if they really fought against each other in a life and death battle then Fred will not be his opponent and he would be able to kill him with some difficulties.
Without Armament Haki and not being restrained by attributes, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit’s dominance is unparalleled! But Fred is not such a simple character, he has a similar output of power which is the same as him and his body produces soot which can be used to ignite a fire at any place and at any time!
With the flammability and explosive characteristics of Coal Powder, Rowen couldn’t stop Fred if he went after someone to kill them.
It’s not that he is not his opponent at that moment but it just means that Rowen wouldn’t be able to protect anyone.
This situation is the most aggrieved situation he is facing!
Trane frowned tightly when he heard Rowen’s answer.
He glanced at Garp and found that the latter’s eyes were closed, he had apparently caught in a difficult choice between heaven and man. He stood still helplessly, waiting for Garp to make a decision.
After a long time, Garp put his hands on the edge of the table and shouted, “We… are Marines!”
“We will do it tonight!”
After saying this, Garp removed his hands from the table in one go and sat back in his chair. But the table is missing two palm-sized pieces of wood.
“Don’t worry, Garp, the Queen will not be in any danger… I will try my best to protect her!”
Rowen’s rare and unprecedented words comforted Trane but Garp looked at him with a suspicious look on his face and asked him a question: “Did you steal my donut?!”
Rowen: “…”
Shouldn’t expect anything with this Century Old Asshole!!!
And……
“Who wants you to protect her?”
As Rowen stared in shock, Garp had a free and easy smile on his face. His sturdy bear-like body burst out with an aura similar to flames that were visible to the naked eye: “This time… this Old Man will go out in person!”
