East Blue, Logue Town.
After leaving Cocoyasi Village, Ross quickly arrived here with Fujitora, but he seems to have come a little earlier, and Logue Town is looking peaceful.
Ross didn’t care. Since he’s early, he is drinking morning tea here. It doesn’t matter if he wait for a while.
A few days later.
Somewhere in the teahouse.
Fujitora sat across from Ross and drank morning tea with Ross.
The weather was cloudy and the light rain was falling, which made the small town, which had been calm, seem to have some dark tide.
From time to time, a team of Marines can be seen patrolling the streets and their patrol frequency had increased by a lot.
“The atmosphere around here seems to have changed.”
Leaning over the window drinking tea, Fujitora sensed the orderly passing of the Marine outside, the unusual atmosphere that was gradually filling the small town, and spoke slowly and quietly.
Ross was reading a newspaper and he looked up and glanced out the window. “If we know that this is the next target of the Golden Lion,” he said, “Then the World Government and Marines must have found a way to get the information.”
“If the government knew that, it would probably send out heavy troops to guard it.”
Fujitora spoke slowly, with a slight solemnity in his speech, but not a steady one.
Ross smiled and said, “Apart from the fact that they’re trying to stop Golden Lion, even if they came after me, wouldn’t it mean that they would have to move the entire Marine Headquarters to Logue town, is that even possible?”
Except for Garp and Sengoku, who can pose some threats to Ross today, Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru, and others have almost no ability to threaten Ross’s life.
Fujitora continued to drink tea.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, Ross suddenly looked out the window at a figure passing in the alley.
“He’s here too.”
Hearing Ross’ words, Fujitora looked up at Ross, revealing his inquiries.
Ross retracted his gaze, not looking at that fleeting figure, and said, “Leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon.”
Fujitora’s face changed slightly, and he said, “Revolutionary Army also got involved in this?”
“I don’t think so.”
Ross shook his head and said casually: “I think he’s mostly here for some other purposes.”
Fujitora was lost in his thought.
At this time, another familiar figure appeared before Ross and walked straight into the tea house, ordered a cup of tea, and sat down in a place, it was Tashigi.
Her eyes were somber and gaunt, and she was not in a Marine uniform, a far cry from her last encounter with Ross.
“Well.”
Ross looked at Tashigi and gave an involuntary tut. It looked as if she had not recovered from the last shock he had given her.
Quickly.
The tea was served, and Tashigi took it and said thank you and drank the tea.
Ross’s words had been ringing in her head for so long, and when she saw things from a neutral perspective, she could no longer see Marine justice as her calling.
It was precisely because she was absent-minded every day that she overturned the teacup several times. Smoker was annoyed and helpless and she was temporarily suspended from her job and Smoker told her to take a good rest.
“Ugh.”
Tashigi wanted to get that voice out of her mind, but she couldn’t do anything. She sighed while drinking tea.
At this moment, she inadvertently glanced at Ross and Fujitora sitting in a corner, and because she was directly facing Ross, she saw Ross’s face and could not help but stare.
“Do you come here for tea?”
Ross waves at Tashigi and smiles casually.
The shock in Tashigi’s eyes slowly subsides. Her mouth is closed and her expression changes in an uncertain way. In the past, she would have already pulled out her sword, but now she is in a state of confusion and she cannot control her body and she walked over.
“The Ghost Hand Pirates First Division Captain…”
Walking towards Ross, Tashigi also saw Fujitora, and soon recognized Fujitora’s identity.
“Why are you here?”
Tashigi remained silent for a few seconds and asked a question.
Ross sipped his tea and said, “I can go wherever I want, but since you have asked, um … I came looking for Golden Lion to settle accounts with him.”
“Golden Lion?!”
A few months ago, Tashigi would not have been able to think of Golden Lion Shiki, a Legendary Pirate that has dissappered for 20 years.
But recently, the entire East Blue was in chaos because of Golden Lion and the news of Golden Lion was spreading everywhere, and she naturally recognized his name.
“Yes.”
Ross didn’t care and spoke: “That guy almost killed me once, plus he’s done such a nasty thing in East Blue, it’s time to send him to hell.”
Tashigi was speechless for a while.
If Ross was a Marine Admiral, she wouldn’t find it weird to if he said such a thing, but Ross is one of the most terrifying pirates in this sea.
Not knowing how to respond to Ross, Tashigi bit her lip and couldn’t help but say a little ironically, “But you don’t do less wicked things than Golden Lion.”
Ross glanced at her and said with a frown:
“You mustn’t talk nonsense. What bad things have I done. Please, Sergeant Marine, tell me some of those wicked things that I have done.”
“You……”
Tashigi was speechless for a while.
She has read a lot of newspapers and learned a lot about Ross from inside Marine, but the description Ross had in those newpapers were always ‘Wicked, dangerous, and heartless Pirate, and after he became a ‘Yonkō (Four Emperors) who ruled Totto Land’, he became even more evil but the newspaper never said what he had done. But there is almost no intelligence that can be specific to a certain thing.
“That is to say you only know that I have done wicked things, but you don’t know what wicked things I have done.” Ross glanced at Tashigi and slowly.
Tashigi gritted her teeth for a while, but couldn’t find anything to refute.
“All right.”
Ross finished the last sip of tea in the cup, he said, “The tea is finished and I’m leaving. Do you have any questions?”
Tashigi’s expression changed for a while, and she stopped talking until Ross had stood up and walked out, and then she gritted her teeth and asked, “What is justice?!”
“What.”
Ross couldn’t help chuckling and said, “You really asked a very difficult question. No one can answer this question. Everyone has an different answer.”
“Then what is your answer.”
Tashigi continued to ask, she knew that asking a pirate about Justice was weird and ridiculous, but she just wanted to hear Ross’s answer now.
“I have no answer.”
Ross walked to the door of the tea house and gave Tashigi a completely unexpected answer, he glanced at her and said, “Why do I have to worry about what Justice is?”

Tashigi stumbles into the flaw of the Anti-Ross propaganda. They really don’t have anything against him. He’s a pirate only because the World Government made him so. The most they have is him attacking them. Which happened after they made him their target XD
yup xD, just leave him be, he would have been much weaker now without those kill points…
