Robin in the North Blue!

Fear.

An indescribable fear instantly caused Rosinante and Drake to break out in a cold sweat.

How could this be!

How could such a thing happen?

What exactly did Patrick Redfield, this monster, do?

Is it mind reading?

Even with mind-reading abilities, I wasn't thinking about Mr. Sengoku at all during that brief moment!

Rosinante simply couldn't understand it.

But he knew it was all over.

Both he and Drake are doomed.

More importantly, this operation also ended in complete failure.

Finding the whereabouts of Roa and his group remains a distant prospect.

"Wow! That's amazing, Mr. Red!"

Doflamingo clapped his hands and laughed, "Natural Observation Haki is far more powerful than that acquired through training!"

"The ability to instantly read other people's memories—even the Boss couldn't do that!"

Like Armament Haki, after more than a year of training, Boss has also honed Observation Haki to an incomprehensible level.

However, strength is strength, and mechanism is mechanism.

Even someone as great as Boss couldn't read the memories hidden deep within someone's heart as effortlessly as Redfield could.

"Everyone has their own area of expertise."

Redfield smiled and shook his head.

Who in this world can rival Roa in Observation Haki?

Even Im, that Imu, would probably have a tough time.

"So, Mr. Red,"

Doflamingo glanced at the lifeless Rosinante and said with interest, "Why was my dear brother sent here by that Fleet Admiral?"

"It's really quite interesting,"

Redfield laughed and said, "You probably wouldn't believe it, but after wandering the North Blue for several years, this kid was actually adopted by the Sengoku!"

He became Sengoku's adopted son, and naturally, a naval officer!

"This time, we want to use this opportunity to infiltrate our ranks and, through our relationship with you, successfully obtain our exact whereabouts for the World Government."

"Fufufufu! The adopted son of the Sengoku?"

Doflamingo's smile widened instantly. "There's actually such a thing?"

"I got picked up by the Boss, and this kid got picked up by Sengoku. Is this some kind of strange twist of fate?"

"It's because you, being inherently evil, chose the sinful Roa!"

Rosinante's voice was slightly hoarse, but still resolute, "And I chose justice!"

"Justice?"

Doflamingo paused slightly, then said, "Fufufufu! Listen to this, justice! What a grand and noble word!"

"True justice is something you can't find even at the ends of the earth! Because this world has always been simple: only the victor brings true justice!"

"Eight hundred years ago, Imu won, so the World Government and the Navy became synonymous with justice! And now, Boss will undoubtedly win the entire world, so Rosinante, tell me, who is the true justice next?!"

Redfield just smiled.

After learning the truth about the world and understanding the true nature of the World Government, the Navy's so-called justice becomes truly laughable.

"Stop daydreaming, Doflamingo!"

Rosinante spoke with righteous indignation, "You who have kept countless people awake at night, torn countless families apart, and plunged countless nations into hell, what right do you have to speak of justice!"

"You won't be so arrogant for long! Evil can never triumph over justice! People may submit to you out of fear, but their anger will never be extinguished!"

"One day, this anger will turn into flames and burn you all to ashes!"

Doflamingo and Redfield were both taken aback.

Then.

"Fufufufu!"

Doflamingo burst into laughter, laughing so hard he almost fell over, tears even glistening behind his sunglasses. "Did you hear that, Mr. Red? This kid said evil can't possibly triumph over good!"

Even the usually aloof Redfield couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile, full of mockery. "What a charming young man."

"Justice? Evil!"

Doflamingo chuckled, crouched down, and patted his brother on the shoulder. "Victory or defeat, what does it have to do with justice or evil?"

"Strength, Rosinante, my foolish brother, only strength can bring victory!"

Say what you want.

Rosinante gritted his teeth, "At this point, I have nothing more to say, just kill me!"

"Kill you?"

Doflamingo patted Rosinante's face again, "Sorry, Rosinante, this won't do."

"The Boss said before we came that if you're really here to play a double agent game, then we'll have to give the World Government a counter-double agent game."

"Isn't that amazing? The boss always seems to know everything!"

Rosinante's eyes widened.

What's the meaning?

Could it be that Roa had already guessed their intentions long before Doflamingo arrived?

But how is that possible?

There are indeed spies from the pirate alliance within the Navy, but this operation should only be known to Sengoku, myself, and Drake!

Even if Sengoku- sensei would report to his superiors, those superiors would probably only refer specifically to the Five Elders!

How exactly was the intelligence leaked?

"Not only will you not die, you will live a good life."

Doflamingo smiled and said, "Foolish little brother, perhaps in the end we'll still have to rely on you."

"..."

Rosinante's face turned even paler.

No, I have to die!

I must die!

He struggled to bite off his own tongue.

However, the highest purity Seastone shackles left him with no strength at all. His teeth biting his tongue felt like biting a rubber band; he could only feel some pain, but couldn't cause any real injury.

"Fufufufu!"

Doflamingo grabbed Rosinante by the hair and yanked the foolish little brother up. "No one can refuse the Boss. He doesn't want you to die, so you have to live."

"Anyway, please take care of me from now on, Rosinante."

Shortly thereafter, in the sky above a certain Red Line.

Inside the palace of the slowly advancing Calamity City.

"Oh? The adopted son of the Sengoku?"

Roa leisurely let Hancock trim his nails.

This is a job that most people can't do.

There was no way around it; the physical demands were just too high.

Even cutting his hair requires adding a touch of high-class Haki to the scissors.

And fingernails are even more difficult for the average person to manage.

Even Hancock had now imbued her nail clippers with two different colors of Haki.

This made the woman almost grit her teeth in anger.

This bastard's power completely shattered her imagination.

Without using any abilities or Haki, he was able to reach this level solely through his physical strength.

Hancock simply couldn't imagine what kind of person could possibly defeat Roa, that monster!

"Is that so?"

Redfield's calm voice came from the other end of the phone, "They originally intended to infiltrate Calamity Company and then use Doflamingo's connections to confirm our whereabouts."

"But Roa, how did you know about this?"

"Don't underestimate my intelligence network."

Roa simply smiled. "But that's not important. So, did we get the information we wanted?"

"I'm sorry."

Red's voice carried a hint of melancholy, "He only knows that the World Government has probably hidden themselves in a floating ship like ours, which should be that legendary Ancient Weapon."

"But as for where they specifically hid, they didn't know; the Sengoku didn't reveal it to them."

"Oh, that's a real shame."

Roa sighed.

They've already searched halfway along the Red Line, but still haven't found any trace of the World Government.

Damn it, Imu!

This is plagiarism!

How could an old man like Deng, who has lived for hundreds of years, possibly copy the moves of a young man like himself?

"However, from Rosinante's memories, I discovered that Sengoku practically raised him like a son. Should we try using him to threaten Sengoku?"

"Impossible,"

Roa said directly, "How could the Sengoku be so easily subdued?"

Version T0 is very useful, but it depends on who uses it and when.

How could Sengoku possibly reveal the whereabouts of the World Government for the sake of his adopted son?

"It doesn't matter,"

"Once I turn them into ghouls," Roa said casually. "Everything will be alright."

Wasn't the Sengoku about playing a double agent game?

Let's see if he becomes suspicious of the child he raised himself!

"Good."

Redfield responded on the other end of the phone, "Then we'll bring them back right away."

"Um."

Roa nodded slightly and hung up the phone.

"Ugh, how annoying!"

Roa raised his hand, his fingers gently hooking Hancock's chin as if teasing a kitten. "Why don't you just stay in Mary Geoise and wait for me? This whole situation is so awkward."

"Snort."

Hancock simply responded with a cold laugh.

That is, at this time.

"Brubrubrub."

The Den Den Mushi in Roa's hand rang again.

"Um?"

Roa raised his hand in surprise to answer the phone.

Has something happened in Rosinante?

Even if the Navy sent an Admiral, it would be impossible to snatch Rosinante from Doflamingo and Redfield, right?

"Boss!"

It wasn't Doflamingo or Redfield; the voice on the other end of the phone was Morgans's incredibly excited voice.

"Didn't you ask me to find the whereabouts of the remnants of Roger Pirates? Hahaha! I've got a lead!!"

"Oh?"

Roa's eyes lit up instantly.

Hancock, who had been expressionless, trembled and suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with terror.

No way?

Were Robin and his crew so careless that they were discovered?

What happened?

Roa hurriedly pressed for more information.

Hahaha! It's really funny!

Morgans hurriedly said, "That woman came to me of her own accord!"

That woman!

Hancock's eyes widened. Could it be that—

"That woman?"

Roa's lips curled into a smile. "Are you talking about Robin?"

"That's right! Boss! The former captain of the Kuja Pirates, Roger's daughter, her real name should be Gole D. Robin!"

Morgans suppressed a laugh, "She's come all the way to the North Blue to discuss cooperation with the Revolutionary Army!"

Roa was taken aback, and then,

Hahaha! Is that even possible?!

That's really hilarious!

So that's how it is. The remnants of Roger Pirates wanted to gather more strength, so they set their sights on the Revolutionary Army, which had been resisting for over a year!

However, Robin probably never dreamed that this Revolutionary Army was not the same as that Revolutionary Army.

Let's go back a little earlier.

An island in North Blue.

Boom boom boom!!

The cannons roared, and the earth trembled.

Armored vehicles rumbled forward from the coast, advancing with overwhelming force toward the already dilapidated town on the island.

On the outskirts of the city, behind various makeshift roadblocks, emaciated people were bravely fighting back with weapons.

"Fight!! My comrades! Fight on!"

On the rooftop of a house, a man waved Revolutionary Army flag, shouting hoarsely, "For our country, for our families, for everything we have!!"

"Fight these demons to the very end!!"

However, courage and willpower are not always enough to change the course of a battle.

Under overwhelming firepower, the uprising civilians were almost completely routed, and smoke and death enveloped the area.

Along the coast, pirate ships were firing continuously.

On the deck of one of the large ships, a pirate captain sneered, "You fools! Want to conquer this country or whatever? Do as you please, but if you dare not pay taxes, you'll only face death!"

"Revolutionary Army? A bunch of idiots who can't even see the bigger picture!"

"They're not idiots!"

A cold voice came from behind.

"What?"

The pirate captain turned his head in surprise.

The next instant, a delicate foot in a high heel kicked him in the face, sending him flying into the sky like a shooting star.

A woman, completely shrouded in a dark green cloak and wearing a hooded sun hat, stood at the bow of the pirate ship.

She gazed at the chaotic battlefield ahead, "True courage is knowing something is impossible, yet still forging ahead for the sake of your beliefs!"

"The Revolutionary Army, what a remarkable group of people!"

Because there was no other choice.

For the people living in this sea area, there are only two choices: a slow death or the courage to resist.

Oh, there's a third option: go to sea and become a pirate.

The woman took a deep breath.

She felt she had come to the right place.

Then.

Boom boom boom boom!

The pirate ships along the coast exploded one after another, and the fiery clouds from the explosions stunned both the stubbornly resisting civilians on the island and the recklessly advancing pirates.

Then, a dark figure rushed into the battlefield from behind, like lightning, instantly piercing through the pirates' entire battle line.

Whether it was heavily armed pirates, incredibly strong Fish-Man, or heavy steel chariots, nothing could withstand a single blow from her; in an instant, a path was cleared for her.

Before anyone could even make out what the dark figure was, the pirates were already routed and could only flee in panic.

The civilians, who had been prepared to die in battle, were now utterly bewildered as they watched the pirates flee in disarray.

What exactly is this?

The man waving the Revolutionary Army flag on the rooftop was equally dumbfounded, for he saw the dark figure land in front of him.

"I'm here to discuss cooperation, Revolutionary Army soldier. Please help me contact your superiors!"

The Revolutionary Army soldier was taken aback, then suddenly nodded.

"Good!"
