Rommel Kingdom
"Captain, if I'm not mistaken, this map points to the Rommel Kingdom near Dressrosa. At the speed of the Ark Maxim, we should be able to get there in just a few hours." Robin looked at the map in his hand and gave his answer after a moment's thought.
"The Rommel Kingdom?" Roy pondered the words, searching for the answer in his distant memories.
"Captain, what should we do with that old guy?" Enel glanced meaningfully at the silent man bound by Sea Stone and smiled.
"This ocean is truly a place where dragons and tigers hide. A powerhouse of this caliber has remained unknown for decades. I even suspect he might be a hidden force of the World Government." Old Sand exhaled a smoke ring in annoyance. He couldn't believe that a blind man could pop out of some random corner and be stronger than him. It was simply unbearable.
"It's better to kill this guy as soon as possible. The potential risks are too great. If he escapes, he might become another Golden Lion in the future." Jin Liu revealed a wary look in his eyes.
It's no wonder that everyone felt this way. After all, having witnessed the Golden Lion's ability to retain such formidable fighting power even after cutting off his own arm, people no longer had much faith in the safety of Sea Stone.
"Don't be impatient. I went to the Rommel Kingdom this time to deal with this trouble. After all, it would be a waste for such a top-notch fighter to die like this."
The Rommel Kingdom, a court meeting.
"Your Majesty George, recently a large number of prominent figures have been assassinated, and even the naval officers who went to apprehend them were brutally murdered. The atmosphere in the country is extremely tense and paranoid. If this continues, I'm afraid everyone will have to apply for political asylum," the Prime Minister reported with deep concern.
George's face was very ugly. Even he, who had survived an assassination attempt, was still shaken. "It's that Weasel of Rommel again! Damn it, is there no one who can subdue that bastard?"
"Your Majesty, as you know, the monster swordsmanship of the Weasel of Rommel is incredibly powerful and extremely fast, moving like the wind. We still haven't been able to discover his true identity, which is why we can't even issue a bounty."
"Damn it, a country has been ridden on by a monster! This is a disgrace to Rommel!" George slammed his hand on the armrest.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!" The Guard Captain rushed into the hall in a panic.
George was initially furious, but he quickly realized that his Guard Captain was usually reliable, so how could he be so unreliable? Could it be...?
"Could it be that Weasel of Rommel' is causing trouble again? Wait, could he be heading towards the palace? Protect the Emperor, protect the Emperor!" George exclaimed in alarm, recalling the terrifying night when he was almost cleaved in two.
"Uh, Your Majesty George, it's not that Weasel of Rommel..." the Guard Captain smile.
"Phew, thank goodness, I'm saved." George patted his chest first, then his face turned red. "You bastard, how dare you scare me on purpose? Do you want to be sent to the gallows?"
"But what we've encountered is a monster a hundred times more terrifying than Weasel of Rommel!" The Guard Captain's face still showed fear. "That's the legendary Calamity Bringer Great Sword Master Roy, the Nightmare of the great pirates known as the Calamity Legion!"
"You... you must be joking, right? What would such a big shot do in our Rommel Kingdom? If he's so capable, he should go... go to Dressrosa to find Doflamingo!" George was almost crying. "You... you must have mistaken me for someone else."
This is the difference between the kingdoms of the New World and those located in the first half of the Grand Line and the Four Seas. Having suffered greatly from pirates, they may not know about the Navy and the World Government, but they must keep the important figures among the pirates in mind, otherwise they could be destroyed by those monsters if they are not careful.
As for Roy, who had already destroyed several islands in the first half of the Grand Line, he was an unforgettable Nightmare for them. In the eyes of the kingdoms of the New World, his power was comparable to that of the most ferocious of the Four Emperors' pirate Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.
If Weasel of Rommel was merely a minor ailment, then the Calamity Bringer Great Sword Master Roy was a catastrophe.
"I wish I had admitted my mistake, but that Ark Maxim is the symbol of the Phantom Sword Pirates. Apart from a great pirate like Nightmare, no one else even has the courage to imitate it," the Guard Captain said with a mournful face.
"Hurry... hurry up and apply for political asylum. Is it too late for us to escape to Dressrosa now?"
The Guard Captain and the Prime Minister looked at each other in bewilderment. Even the king was preparing to flee, so should they also hurry home to pack their belongings and escape for their lives?
"Ahem, excuse me." Just as the group was distracted, a teasing voice rang out in the hall.
The group blocking the entrance to the main hall were none other than Roy and his companions.
"The one with the kingly demeanor must be Lord Roy." George swallowed hard. Luckily, he reacted quickly, otherwise he would probably be beheaded by now.
"Whether you escape or not is none of my business, but could you do me a small favor before you leave?" Roy asked bluntly.
George wiped the cold sweat from his brow, thinking that if he could help Roy get things done, he might not have to run away.
"Lord Roy, what are you saying? Your business is my business, and it's the business of our Rommel Kingdom. There's absolutely no problem... cough cough." George immediately pounded his chest so hard he almost injured himself.
"Very good, I need you to mobilize the entire nation to help me find someone." Roy tossed over a portrait of Trafalgar Law, which George hurriedly caught, holding it in his hands as if it were a precious treasure. "This guy has been on the run for years, and may have changed his appearance. So remember, there should be a polar bear with him. That's the key to what you're looking for."
"Oh, okay, don't worry, I'll take care of it right away." George then remembered something and cautiously probed, "Um, Lord Roy, what if—I mean, what if—we don't find this guy, or what if he's already left the Rommel Kingdom beforehand?"
Roy said with a grin, "I don't know about others, but I guarantee you'll suffer a terrible death!"
"I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" George's eyes were brimming with tears, and he struggled to move his heavy body as he ran out, crying as he ran, "Waaah, all the surviving guards, get out here! If you don't complete the mission, you'll all be buried with me! Waaah!"
