Marineford's Extremely Tense Situation

"Mm."

"Admiral Zephyr, I understand."

Roya nodded in agreement.

Then.

"By the way, Roya."

"Since you took advantage of the chaos to leave Impel Down, that was your own good fortune."

"Where do you plan to go next? And why did you appear on a warship?"

Zephyr began asking questions.

Zephyr was indeed quite curious as to why Roya was still aboard a warship. Moreover, the Marines on that warship all treated Roya with great respect. He did not look like someone who had just escaped from Impel Down Prison at all.

"Oh, it's like this."

"The moment I left Impel Down, I saw my former subordinates. They happened to still be willing to take me in."

"As for me, since I killed a Celestial Dragon, those people in Mary Geoise definitely won't let me off easily. But then again, I was once the Navy's Fourth Admiral. I figured that a man should see things through properly. I'll return and personally resign to Sengoku and the others, taking responsibility for my mistakes. That will serve as my explanation."

Roya stated his thoughts bluntly.

"Hahahahaha!"

"What a fine way to see things through!"

"You really are a good kid. Just like Garp said, I'm starting to like you more and more."

Zephyr burst into laughter, deeply gratified by Roya's conduct. Perhaps he truly had not seen such an outstanding young talent in many years, someone first-rate in both conviction and strength.

"Kid, your thoughts have inspired me."

"Come on. I'll return to Marine Headquarters with you. Like you, I'll resign from Navy affairs as well."

Zephyr suddenly made a decision.

Afterward.

Zephyr looked at Roya and warmly invited him, "After I officially leave the Navy, I'll establish a new force. Would you be willing to join us when the time comes?"
