"Senior."
"Your autumn tea is dangling in front of me. I can look at it but I can't drink it. Isn't this testing my patience?"
"Let me see if your tea-making skills have improved."
Seeing Borsalino talking about the changes in the North Blue, Rosen just smiled and didn't say much on the topic.
He was the one who pushed the tide of the Great Pirate Era from running wild to receding.
This change is good or bad.
He didn't want to comment too much and just let the people in North Blue speak.
Anyway, no matter what others say, Rosen will not change his determination to make the Great Pirate Era, from the Four Seas to the Grand Line, completely withdraw from the world stage.
"Other things may decline, but the tea ceremony will never decline."
"You don't even know, ever since I became an Admiral, I've been working from nine to five every day."
"At work, besides reading the newspaper, I make tea. Now my tea making skills are almost as good as my swordsmanship."
Borsalino showed off the Admiral's simple working life while pulling Rosen towards the Marine base behind them.
We haven't seen each other for several months.
The two did not become estranged because of this. Instead, they treated each other just like they did when they were taking internship classes in Impel Prison.
After arriving at Rosen's office, Borsalino first hung the coat of justice on the hanger, then rolled up his sleeves and personally made tea for Rosen.
Doll, who was standing by, saw that Borsalino, a Marine Admiral, actually boiled water and made tea for Rosen personally, just like a subordinate. She also completely understood that her previous worries were completely unnecessary.
Rosen is not just operating in the North Blue.
Before leaving the Marine Headquarters and taking up his post in the North Blue, he had already run the rear area like an iron barrel.
In Mary Geoise, there is Borsalino who is the Admiral of the Marine, there is Zephyr who is the former Admiral of the Marine, and there is the Fleet Admiral of the Marine, Sengoku.
These are the Optimus Primes.
All of these can help Rosen block the torrential rain and strong winds from the Grand Line, allowing him to concentrate on destroying the great wave of the pirate era that is flooding the world.
And what happened next was that Borsalino's performance shocked and reassured Doll.
"Junior."
"Even I at headquarters have heard about your actions in the North Blue."
"Mr. Sengoku even asked me to bring you a few words."
Borsalino brought the divided tea to Rosen, took a sip from the cup in front of him, and then said:
"Don't worry, just go ahead and do it."
"Just don't forget your original intention."
"Of course, there's also the matter of letting the Four Seas hear the sound of the Marine's sword."
His words were shocking.
"Four Seas?"
"Senior, if I remember correctly, I am only the Admiral of the North Blue."
When Rosen heard this, his eyes flashed.
"You're not anymore."
Borsalino's words startled Doll and Douglas Bullet in the office.
"After high-level discussions, this headquarters has officially decided to grant you the rank of Major General."
"Also, from now on, you will no longer serve as the Admiral of the North Blue, but will serve as the Governor-General of the Four Seas."
"From now on, east, south, west, north, and all over the world, you, my junior, will have the final say."
As soon as he said this,
Rosen remained calm and composed, showing no emotion at all, but Doll and Douglas Bullet's slightly tense bodies relaxed.
"You don't seem surprised at all?"
"and."
"This is a promotion! A promotion in both rank and position. Shouldn't I smile?"
Borsalino couldn't help but speak when he saw Rosen's calm expression.
"Senior."
"And Sengoku-sensei as well."
"The burden on your shoulders is not light!"
Rosen shook his head.
The investigation report he submitted to the World Government on the two cases of the loss of Heavenly Gold seemed to be well-reasoned, but in fact it was extremely sloppy.
With the shrewdness of the Five Elders, they could tell there was a problem at a glance.
I guess CP is already investigating me now.
Normally, it would be good enough if you were not suppressed or neglected.
As a result, his military rank was promoted twice.
The most important thing is the position. He was promoted from the original Admiral of the North Blue to the Governor-General of the Four Seas.
This is obviously not common sense.
The only explanation is that, behind the scenes, someone is playing a game with the World Government and the Five Elders.
There is no need to say who the other party is.
Who else could it be but Sengoku and Borsalino?
"How can the burden on the shoulders of generals and Fleet Admiral be light?"
"To borrow your words, junior."
"Some things have to be done by someone."
"You will be responsible for dealing with the pirates in the Four Seas; Mr. Sengoku and I will be responsible for dealing with matters other than pirates."
Borsalino chuckled, his slightly wretched face revealing a sense of confidence.
It gives people a sense of security that even if the sky falls, they can still hold it up with one hand.
"The Marine has finally undergone a major transformation that hasn't happened in hundreds of years."
"Whether it's me, Mr. Sengoku, or Mr. Garp, no one wants to miss it."
"What's more, we all see in you the potential to end the Great Pirate Era. We will never allow anyone or anything to stifle this possibility."
After drinking two cups of black tea, Borsalino changed his usual ambiguous attitude and showed the sharpness of a top Marine Admiral.
At the end of Marine and Justice, I can't see the result I want.
He will be hesitant and ambiguous, but if he sees hope, that's different.
Admiral Kizaru's brilliance is brighter than ever before.
"Then how are you going to explain this to the Five Elders?"
Rosen felt warm in his heart.
He knew that Borsalino was sending a signal.
The Marine Headquarters is my backing.
While he was facing the Great Pirate Era, the Marine Headquarters was also facing the World Government and bearing the pressure of the Five Elders.
"My coming here is the best explanation."
"Isn't this what the Five Elders want when you are thoroughly investigated, junior brother?"
"The Marine Headquarters, strictly following the orders of the World Government, has dispatched the Admirals to the North Blue to conduct a thorough investigation of you, Junior."
Borsalino spread his hands.
"So, what did you find out, Senior?"
Rosen asked with interest.
"The salary of the North Blue Admiral is too low."
"Even drinking tea requires rubbing my tea leaves."
"With such limited funds, there's no way I could steal Heavenly Gold."
Borsalino had just finished speaking.
Phew
It turned out that Doll couldn't hold back any longer and laughed out loud.
"I'll go check on Donquixote Doflamingo later."
"I heard that after he became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he made a fortune every day. His arms and slave trades have even reached the Sabaody Archipelago."
"This business has grown so big, he obviously invested all the money in it, otherwise where would he get the money to run the business."
Borsalino said without blushing or panting:
"That's right."
"What was the name of the who-who that colluded with pirates, working together inside and outside to rob the Germa 66's Heavenly Gold?"
"who-who, right? Did you catch him, junior?"
He seemed not to hear Doll's laughter.
"I got it."
"But he resisted arrest."
"Kill him."
Rosen nodded.
At this moment, even Douglas Bullet couldn't help laughing.
He had just graduated from science class the day before yesterday, but he clearly remembered who-who was currently working in Branch 1 and was being studied by Vinsmoke Judge.
"Resisting arrest means you have something to hide."
"The Heavenly Gold was robbed, and who-who must have had a hand in it. It's a pity they couldn't reveal the mastermind behind it."
"But when it comes to investigating a case, nothing is perfect. Anyway, the case is now basically clear. After a thorough investigation by our generals, the truth behind the missing Heavenly Gold is basically consistent with the findings of Admiral Rosen, no, the Governor-General."
Borsalino transforms into the famous detective Kizaru, making tea with one hand and solving the case at the same time.
In just the time it takes to make a cup of tea, he had sorted out the case clearly and investigated the matter of Heavenly Gold thoroughly.
Then, the case was solved and closed on the spot.
