The New World.
The summit of Hachinosu.
Rosen stood in the void, his eyes glowing red. His Observation Haki spread out like an invisible hurricane, enveloping the base of the Ochoku Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, beneath his feet.
Tens of thousands of pirates are entrenched on Hachinosu.
Ochoku was a core member of the pirate crew, the third leader, and one of the six elite members.
One after another, auras appeared before our eyes.
Soon, among the many auras, he fixed one aura as vast as the stars.
Immediately afterwards.
A vast amount of memories flashed through Rosen's mind like a slideshow.
After more than six months of investigation, he was certain that Ochoku was behind everything, but he still needed to confirm it.
As Stussy said.
Solving a case requires evidence, but he doesn't.
All you need is a suspect, and then you can use Observation Haki to read their memories.
at this time.
That's exactly what Rosen did.
Standing atop Hachinosu, he brazenly unleashed his Observation Haki, then, from a distance of thousands of meters, directly accessed Ochoku's memories.
As one of the Four Emperors, he reigns supreme in the new world like an emperor.
Ochoku was completely unable to stop it all, and he didn't even know that his memories were being read.
As a flood of memories flashed before his eyes like a fast-forwarded movie, Rosen finally found two crucial memory scenes from the long and complex ocean of memories in Ochoku's mind.
...
...
God Valley.
"Zephyr!"
"Get out of my way."
"If you insist on blocking my way, I will make sure you live the rest of your life in despair."
Ochoku stared coldly at Zephyr, who was blocking his way.
"If I were to step aside just because of what you said, then I would be a Marine admiral for nothing."
Zephyr was like a steadfast mountain, and even though his righteous coat was stained with blood, he still held Ochoku back firmly.
You'll regret this!
Sensing that Whitebeard's aura was getting further and further away, Ochoku's gaze toward Zephyr immediately turned sinister, like that of a venomous snake.
Click
The image shatters, then reassembles.
It was an unnamed island standing in the first half of the Grand Line.
Not only is there a G-1 Branch entrenched on the island, but there are also two other branches of the same G-1 series nearby, forming a defensive triangle to suppress the surrounding sea area.
However,
All the Marine forces were unable to stop the appearance of a figure and its approach towards a man and a woman.
"Ochoku!"
A young woman was holding the hand of a child who looked to be about three years old.
She seemed to recognize Ochoku's identity, and her pretty face changed color instantly. The child she was holding also seemed to sense the danger, his body trembling and his face losing all color.
"Do you recognize me?"
"That's easy."
"This saves me the trouble of telling you, and your children, why you deserve to die!"
Ochoku looked at Zephyr's wife and son with icy eyes.
"Mother."
The three-year-old child was intimidated by Ochoku's murderous aura and kept shrinking back.
"Don't be afraid, come on, straighten your chest."
"Remember this, you are a Marine Admiral, the son of Black Arm Zephyr."
"Don't bring shame to your father."
Zephyr's wife placed her hand on her son's head, gently stroking his hair, soothing the fear in his heart and on his face.
Like begets like.
Perhaps the blood of a Marine admiral flowing through his veins gives him the strength to fight fear.
He, who had been filled with fear and constantly retreating, suddenly held his mother's hand, stood firm, and stared at Ochoku with unwavering eyes.
It's like a tiger cub; even though its claws and teeth haven't grown out yet, it's still a tiger.
They won't become like sick cats just because they're young.
"He truly lives up to his reputation as Zephyr's son."
"He's got guts just like his father."
"Kid, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
Seeing that Zephyr's son was only three years old, yet he was so bold as to stand firmly in front of him, even Ochoku, with his ruthless nature, showed a hint of admiration.
"I want to become a Marine admiral like my father, and arrest all the bad guys like you."
Faced with Ochoku's oppressive gaze, Zephyr's son mustered his courage and glared at him.
Although his voice sounded childish, it revealed a firmness that commanded respect.
"A Marine admiral?"
"It's a pity, whether you capture me or a general, you have no chance."
"If you have someone to blame, blame your father for ruining my plans back then."
Upon hearing the word "general," Ochoku's face immediately revealed a sinister grin filled with murderous intent.
He had already told Zephyr when he was in the God Valley.
It will definitely make Zephyr regret it, and it will definitely make this man live in regret and pain for the rest of his life.
Now is the time to fulfill our promise.
Clang
Ochoku drew his sword expressionlessly, Armament Haki swirling around the blade, and then swung it out.
Bang
As Ochoku swung his sword, a roar like that of a cannon rang out, and a slashing wave flew out across the sky, like a crescent moon, slashing diagonally at Zephyr's wife and children.
Pfft
Blood gushed out like a torrent.
Two bodies, holding hands, fell to the ground at the same time.
Clang
After doing all this, Ochoku sheathed his sword and then vanished from the spot in an instant.
Only two corpses remained, gradually growing cold, but until their deaths, their faces showed no trace of fear of death, lying in pools of blood.
By using Observation Haki to read Ochoku's memories, Rosen felt as if he were there himself, and he was able to understand more and more the pain that Zephyr had experienced and endured over the years.
"Professor Zephyr, I saw it."
"Just as you said, your son is truly outstanding."
"When he grows up, he will definitely become a Marine admiral."
"It must be!"
Rosen closed his eyes, ceasing to use his Observation Haki to read Ochoku's memories.
He already knows what he needs to know.
He has seen what he wanted to see.
Next, all we need to do is follow the plan step by step, flatten Hachinosu, and completely destroy the Ochoku Pirates.
Boom
Just as Rosen was recklessly reading Ochoku's memories, someone on Hachinosu finally noticed his presence.
The skull-shaped building that had been quietly perched on the island suddenly came to life with its empty eyes, like the eyes of a living person.
Then, the enormous skull, like a person lying on the ground, slowly stood up.
The skull-shaped building rose from the ground, climbing higher and higher, approaching Rosen, which stood in the sky.
"Marine."
Didn't your boss tell you that?
"This place is called Hachinosu. It's a paradise for pirates and a graveyard for the Marines."
As one of the three leaders of the Ochoku Pirates, Charlotte Gore activated the power of the Island-Island Fruit, combining herself with Hachinosu and transforming into a rock giant.
Simply by standing upright, he is like a giant mountain peak soaring into the sky, level with Rosen standing above the Hachinosu.
Compared to Pica, the user of the Stone-Stone Fruit.
His abilities are undoubtedly much greater.
It could even be said to be superior to the Stone-Stone Fruit.
"From now on, there will be no more Hachinosu in the New World."
Rosen stared at the island giant that had risen from the ground, his eyes calm and unwavering, as if he were looking at a corpse, and a pirate's corpse at that.
"You are so arrogant."
"You, hmm?"
"It's you, the Sea Hunter, Rosen."
As Charlotte Gore got closer to Rosen, she took a closer look and recognized him.
Ever since Rosen put the collar on Jorah Mihawk and the news was published in the newspaper, he has gained a new title in addition to being the strongest Marine in the millennium.
The Hunter of the Sea.
They are hunters in the Marines who specialize in hunting and taming the Shichibukai.
Even the greatest swordsman who forges the world's strongest Black Blade can be tamed into a Marine hound.
