This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Despite all this, Rowen was able to fight Shanks and escape alive from his clutches, this fact alone spoke volumes about Rowen’s abilities.
With some people fueling the rumors, the news quickly spread across the sea. The whole world was in shock.
At Water Seven, Galley-La shipbuilding company, Dock One.
The tide of the times was growing stronger and stronger. Underneath the calm surface, countless pirates were accelerating their efforts to set sail toward their dreams.
Today, the Galley-La Shipbuilding Company welcomed a new group of pirates. After being taught a lesson by Rob Lucci and others for refusing to pay, a newspaper suddenly fell out of their opponent’s pocket.
Lucci didn’t want to pay attention, but the familiar photo made his pupils contract. He couldn’t wait to pick up the newspaper and carefully read it.
“How is this possible?!!”
The news not only told the story of Rowen’s encounter with one of the Four Emperors, in which he emerged unscathed but also revealed that The Red Force had sustained significant damage and was in need of major repairs.
Having seen it before, Lucci immediately recognized that the ship’s scorch marks were indeed caused by lightning from Rowen’s attacks!
“You Bastard! You’re underestimating us, asshole!”
At this point, one of the fallen pirates climbed up, held up his flintlock guns, and with a cruel grin on his face, he looked at Lucci who was flipping through the newspaper with his back turned.
“Die!!”
Bang!
A wisp of smoke came out of the gun barrel, and the pirate, seeing that Lucci didn’t dodge, became crazed with joy.
“Hahaha! Are you finally dead? You monster!!”
“Lucci!”
In the distance, Paulie and others who had been watching the show were shocked beyond words and hurried over to where Lucci was.
But suddenly, Lucci, who should have been shot by the pirate’s gun and died, turned his head and looked at the pirate with a face filled with killing intent.
“You’re annoying!”
Click…
His finger loosened, and a smoking bullet shot out of his finger. The pirate was suddenly terrified and he began to speak but could not and his mouth trembling.
“You… You…”
New World, Dressrosa.
“Fuf fuf fuffuf fuf fuf fuf fuf!! So that’s it, that’s how it is!”
Doflamingo buried his face in his pink feather coat, squatting on his throne with no image. His eyes were filled with violence and wickedness, and his terrifying killing intent surged along with his Haoshoku Haki, making Trebol and others tremble and they were even afraid to breathe.
“Ah! The New Age! I smell the scent of the New Age! Fuf fuf fuffuf fuf fuf fuf fuf!!!”
First Half Paradise, Kuraigana Island.
“Shanks… you shouldn’t be such a boring man…”
Wearing a wine-red long coat with a black blade Kokutō in his hand, the world’s greatest swordsman, “Hawkeye” Mihawk, stood on the mountaintop overlooking the sea. Suddenly, he flicked his hand, and the newspaper was thrown into the air.
Mihawk’s gaze became piercing, and his eagle-like eyes burst with dazzling light. At the same time, his Black Blade Kokutō – Yoru blew like the wind, leaving a black trail as it was sheathed back onto his back.
Shing!
The next second, the newspaper shattered into countless pieces and flew in the wind.
Upon closer inspection, each piece was cut exactly at the same size!
Why did Rowen fight Shanks?
Was it to prove that he could do what his defeated subordinate Jino did?
Or was it simply the Marines chasing pirates?
The reasons behind this…only a few Marines knew.
But there was no doubt that Rowen, like Jino before him, had become famous throughout the sea!
…
Near Newland Island, an unknown deserted island.
Besides the giant brown ape, which stood over ten meters tall and looked like a small hill when it lay down, Rowen quietly picked up a newspaper and a smile appeared on his lips.
“At least it proves that Dante did a good job…”
Rowen’s intelligence was not only reflected in his grasp of the situation and learning speed, but also in his delicate planning, where he could anticipate several steps ahead.
After learning that Ace had been rescued by Shanks, Rowen immediately thought of many things, including Roger, the Pirate King, the hidden truth of history, the inherited will, Luffy, and the mysterious suffix “ROUX”… It also included the “Assassination King” Jino, who had died at his hands.
So, while instructing Dante to arrange for his confidants to spread rumors that he had challenged the Four Emperors and retreated unscathed, Rowen went to pick a fight with Shanks.
Yes!
He was the one who spread the news first, not someone who had investigated and found out the reason.
At the same time, he spread rumors first, and then went to find Shanks!
Dante was very surprised and he had strongly objected to Rowen’s crazy idea, saying that he was obsessed with fame and doing a dangerous thing to obtain it!
The opponent was one of the Four Emperors, and Jino had only escaped with the help of his Devil Fruit ability. His Rumble-Rumble Fruit was not so convenient.
But Rowen was a Senior Officer, and his position was higher than Dante who was only a Lieutenant Commander and forget him, even a Rear Admiral from the Marine Headquarters wouldn’t be able to deny Rowen much less him and other officers.
Dante was unwilling and filled with indignation, but he went to make arrangements anyway.
In Dante’s eyes, the Four Emperors and other pirates were all equally dangerous and ruthless. However, he didn’t know that Shanks and his Red Hair Pirates were special. Moreover, Shanks had different goals from the other three Emperors.
He could have reached Raftel any time he wanted and would have become the Pirate King and continued to fight for One Piece. But that is not his goal.
Inheriting his real captain Roger’s will and keeping the captain’s spirit alive was Shanks’ goal!
As long as he didn’t show any specific threats in this regard, Rowen believed that Shanks would not kill him.
Roger’s will was not to train pirates to disrupt peace, but the pirate era needed chaos caused by pirates and more importantly, the Marines to suppress them. As a special figure, Shanks naturally understood this.
As it turned out, his judgment was indeed correct.
Shanks didn’t really go all out from the very beginning and gave him time to escape after being defeated.
Everything went according to plan.
However, the resulting effect surprised even Rowen himself.
The spread of the news was just too fast!
In just a few days, it had spread throughout the sea. Even the Assassination King Jino had never enjoyed such treatment!
“It looks like after clearing out Jaya Island, some people are a little unwilling to accept it!”
Rowen smirked and pulled himself out of the pool of blood.
