Rowen looked at Iceberg as if he was looking at a fool and then greeted him backward: “Dante! Arrange a few people to follow me. Others are free to move around except for those who need to stay here. They must return to camp before eight o’clock. Besides… If someone dares to drink privately then skin them and dip their bodies in the sea!”
Gulp!
The soldiers shuddered one after another, and Dante smiled bitterly and shook his head, agreeing to arrange Rowen’s orders.
However, he comforted the soldiers by saying: “I won’t really pull your skins off, I am not that cruel, at most… I will cut a few holes in your body and dipped you in seawater.”
Hiss……!!
Now, the Soldiers felt like crying when they heard Rowen’s words, you might as well kill us!
Salting the Open Wounds, this is pure torture!!
…
Rowen walked towards the Water Seven Center under the leadership of Iceberg. Among the crowd, Rob Lucci and Kaku, who are still acting like ordinary Shipwright, glanced at each other and breathed out a sigh of relief.
The Judicial Island and Marine Headquarters are close and Rowen’s name has long been known to them. For this new Rear Admiral, who has done a lot of things, they are like CP0 as they have no intentions of provoking him.
But they do not want to provoke because they know who the other party is, but Rowen does not know who they are!
At the first glance, they couldn’t understand why, but the two of them knew very well that Rowen was suspicious of them.
For the truly strong, even if they do not master Observation Haki, they can still see who is strong and who is weak. If a monster with a Doriki Value comparable to a Marine Rear Admiral emerged from a pile of scum with less than five combat effectiveness then anyone would take a closer look.
“He should have noticed our anomaly, to avoid his suspicion, let Kalifa contact him privately to show him that we are also with the World Government.”
Rob Lucci said to Kaku, who nodded and left the crowd and walked towards the famous tavern street of Water Seven.
It doesn’t matter if Rowen finds out. He is a Marine. Although they have a bad relationship with CP Organization, he would not dare to actively destroy their Mission.
They are afraid that Rowen would feel strange with their presence and he will ask Iceberg about them, and then Iceberg would likely become suspicious of them. After all, why are such strong people working for him?!
Then their disguise would be in vain and their mission would fail.
It is only Sea Calander in 1515. Lucci and others are not the top five foremen of the future No. 1 Dock, nor have they demonstrated their outstanding combat effectiveness in front of Iceberg.
If they are discovered at this time by Iceberg then they wouldn’t even need to think about the outcome.
Although they were unhappy that Spandam threw them to Water Seven for an indefinite mission because of a clue that he got from unreliable resources, the loyalty of the CP9s cultivated since childhood is beyond doubt, and they would never fail their Mission.
Naturally, Rob Lucci at this time is still relatively naive, thinking that they would be able to anything with them being CP9.
However, in fact, they have been lurking in Water Seven for five full years, and it was not until Straw Hats appeared that they ended their lurking Mission with a big defeat.
…
Everyone came to a White Building following Iceberg.
Iceberg concurrently serves as the mayor of Water Seven and the president of Galley-La Company. The Headquarters building of Galley-La is the office of the Mayor…
This is no longer collusion between government and business, but the integration of government and business!
It is unreasonable to put it in other places, but Iceberg is so admired by the citizens of the Water Seven that no one cares about these things.
“Sir Rear Admiral, please come inside!”
Iceberg smiled and led the way for Rowen to the dining room, he then turned to his secretary Kalifa and said, “Kalifa, tell the kitchen to prepare the food, and see if my red wine is ready to be served.”
“Understood, Mayor!”
Kalifa, a slender blond-haired girl, hugged the folder with her right hand and squeezed the huge fullness of her chest into waves. At the same time, she pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose with her left index finger and fingertip and answered.
“You are quite lucky Mayor Iceberg!”
I also want a big beauty to approach me with no purpose!
Rowen smacked his lips and laughed, “But Wine is not necessary, drinking is a mistake.”
Iceberg was startled and he then remembered Rowen’s orders to the Soldiers in the dock and laughed self-deprecatingly: “Yes, yes, drinking is a mistake. Sir Rear Admiral, please sit down.”
“Call me Rowen, Rear Admiral or something sounds too distant.”
After all, I’m not familiar with him, so I’m embarrassed to do it!
“Rowen?!”
Suddenly, Iceberg’s memory became clear.
Almost a few weeks ago, a major event happened in Marine Headquarters. A recruit killed the Hell Island Crab that had almost destroy the world more than ten years ago and was awarded with the position of Rear Admiral.
This matter was published in the world newspaper and was all the rage for a while. But most people thought that the Marines were playing a trick, in order to give the guy named Rowen a suitable reason the rank of Rear Admiral.
After all……
If the Hell Island Crab died so easily then why would Marines need to make such a big sacrifice back then?
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Rowen is a big figure with a lot of backing, allowing Marine Headquarters to open the back door for him. But the fact is that Rowen really did such an incredible thing.
At the same time, not only did he have no background, he is even…
Very poor!
He is poor to the point of having to come knocking to make ends meet this way… Marine’s Military salary is paid annually, and before the end of the year, the only Belly in Rowen’s hands is the one he gets from selling emeralds.
However, although most people despise Rowen who has used his background to get his current position, no one is qualified to look down on him.
After all, among the countless speculations, there is always this one: The Marines made an exception to open the back door to his Rear Admiral position in order to completely tie Rowen with them.
Because Rowen is the Rumble-Rumble Fruit Ability user who has disappeared for hundreds of years!
He is the holder of the Devil Fruit called the Strongest Logia!
With such a powerful power, not to mention the Marines who are willing to give a Rear Admiral to pull him with them, countless Kingdoms are willing to offer their Kingdom Princess to tie Rowen to them!
The Three Admirals of Marines often haunt the Grand Line to perform missions and they help power to destroy anything in their path. They have god-like powers and the concept of “Strongest Combat Power” is well known.
As a member of the Grand Line, if they don’t understand the meaning of the word “Logia”, then they would be more ignorant than the fishes in the sea!
“So it’s Sir Rowen. I didn’t recognize you. Forgive me!”
Iceberg did not dare to underestimate Rowen.
The various legends of Rumble-Rumble Fruit let him realize that even if Rowen doesn’t have the strength of a Rear Admiral from Marine Headquarters but his Devil Fruit alone was enough to destroy the entire Water Seven!
In this world, your strength would make you king!
On the other hand, while Iceberg and Rowen were waiting for the dinner to start, Kalifa walked out of the kitchen and tucked Den Den Mushi into the mysterious interdimensional space on her chest, and calmly turned into a dead-end alley.
At the same time, a circular door opened abruptly on the gray-blue brick wall. Blueno, a CP9 member disguised as a bar boss, stood behind the door and handed Kalifa a note, and then said: “Be careful, the other party has found Lucci and others. Make contact with him before he asks Iceberg any question about us and our mission ends in failure. “
Kalifa scanned his Mission with a single glance and deflated: “They were found?! How long have we been lurking here? How did he found us?!”
It’s true that men are all big pigs! They aren’t careful at all!
