Before leaving he left an order to Jinbe, letting him lead a team straight to Ryugu Kingdom.
At the same time, they contacted Nia, calling all of CP9 to rendezvous with Jinbe and seal off Fish-Man Island.
After issuing the order, Rosse had already leapt across several thousand meters.
Fish-Man Island, said to be large, is large; said to be small, is not small. At Rosse's speed, even carrying Otohime, it only took five minutes to arrive on the scene.
"Neptune! All of you will be buried with me!", Qope was furious, roaring in rage.
Under Neptune's attacks, his body was already covered in blood.
The guards and slaves Rosward brought had all been killed as well.
Before coming here, no one thought Neptune would kill, so naturally, they let their guard down.
Besides, Qope was confident, he was here, Neptune couldn't hurt Rosward.
And also, Saint Rosse was here...
'Yes! Saint Rosse is also here!'
Suddenly remembering this, Qope burst into wild laughter.
This mad appearance even made Neptune step back a few steps, frowning as he stared at Qope.
After all, he was CP0, he didn't believe the man was truly insane.
But now that Qope was cornered, he didn't believe he could escape either.
"Neptune! You're finished! You don't even know yet, do you? This matter is impossible to cover up!"
"HAHAHAHA!"
Qope burst into manic laughter, shouting, "Saint Rosse is on Fish-Man Island! As long as he knows Rosward is dead, you're all done for!"
"So what if he's on Fish-Man Island?", Neptune's face became more irritated, Rosse hadn't hidden his whereabouts. If the Whitebeard Pirates could know, of course he could too.
"He himself can't even guarantee his own safety. You don't actually think this group of Celestial Dragon pigs can defeat Whitebeard's four captains, do you?", Rosward's weakness completely revealed the nature of the Celestial Dragons.
This also made Neptune feel that the Celestial Dragons weren't actually that terrifying.
Just ordinary humans who could be shot and killed.
The truly troublesome ones were the guards protecting the Celestial Dragons.
And this time, Rosse came to Fish-Man Island, whether due to confidence or something else, with only the CP organization at his side, and no strong warriors. Just that little manpower from CP, even he could handle it, let alone Whitebeard's four captains.
"HAHAHAHAHA! Neptune, you really are naive."
"You think that man is the same as Saint Rosward? He is a member of the Gods Knights, standing at the very top of the Celestial Dragons!", Qope laughed so hard he nearly cried.
He was doomed anyway, but being able to witness Neptune's downfall was already enough.
"Absurd. Let's wait till he gets here then," Neptune snorted coldly, holding his trident and charging forward, ready to finish off Qope.
Whoosh!
The giant trident, carrying endless might, slashed down toward Qope.
Ding!
However, the trident finally stopped in front of Qope, blocked by a seemingly ordinary hand that gripped it tightly.
"It's you!"
Neptune looked at Rosse, who had suddenly appeared, and his face filled with shock and fury.
Especially when he saw Otohime hiding in Rosse's arms, his eyes were blazing with rage.
"What's constantly on your mind will always echo back. Since you like to mention me so much, here I am," Rosse let out a soft chuckle, casually pinching the tip of Neptune's trident, raising his head slightly as he calmly stared at Neptune.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Neptune]
[Overall Power: A-]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Neptune's 12-meter body was extremely intimidating.
His overall rating had reached grade A, just one tier below a Marine Admiral.
The current strongest on Fish-Man Island, well deserved.
However, to Rosse, an A- was nothing more than a chicken or dog.
"Saint Rosse!", Qope's face filled with joy, ignoring his wounds, he dropped to his knees before Rosse, face filled with reverence.
"I rushed over as soon as I got the news. Where is Rosward?", Rosse said casually, his eyes sweeping across the area.
The Ammo Knight on alert, Qope kneeling in guilt, Rosward lying in a pool of blood, shivering mermaids, Holp and Sabina trying to stay unnoticed, and… Neptune burning with rage, wanting to tear him apart.
'Good. Everyone's here.'
"Saint Rosward died accidentally… Saint Rosse, it was due to my failure in guarding…", Qope's face held sorrow, kowtowing repeatedly to Rosse, as if this could erase the guilt in his heart.
"Saint Rosse! I have a final wish, please grant it!", The moment Rosward died, he knew he was doomed.
But being able to see Rosse before dying, that was already lucky.
"Please! Please kill Neptune, and avenge Saint Rosward!"
"Serve me, and I can plead for your life," Rosse smiled lightly.
To be able to speak his last wish so calmly after Rosse's arrival, without a trace of desire to cling to life, Rosse quite admired this man.
Even though Qope's ability wasn't outstanding, who doesn't appreciate loyal subordinates?
"If the lord is dead, how could the subordinate dare to live," Qope pressed his forehead to the floor and gave a respectful bow to Rosse, firmly refusing his offer.
He was a CP0 under the Rosward family. Since childhood, he had been taught to be loyal to the Rosward family.
Even though Rosse and Rosward were both Celestial Dragons, they were still different.
The lord he served was dead, he had no right to continue living in this world. Now that Rosse had come, Rosward's revenge could be taken. To live on, meant nothing anymore.
"Not bad. I grant you the honor of dying in battle."
A trace of admiration flashed in Rosse's eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
A loyal man, even if somewhat blindly loyal, still deserved respect.
No matter what, he and Qope were on the same side.
This kind of person, Rosse wished he had more of them.
"Thanks! Saint Rosse!"
Qope bowed one more time, then stood up.
At this moment, his aura was unrestrained, rushing toward the Ammo Knight with the spirit of no return.
He didn't choose Neptune, he knew he didn't have that strength.
But at least, dragging his heavily injured body, he had to kill those murderers.
"Bastard!"
Watching Qope charge into the Ammo Knight, activating berserk mode and wildly killing, Neptune's face was filled with rage and he wanted to go help.
Unfortunately, just as he took a single step, a voice came from nearby.
"King Neptune, where are you going?"
"Rosse! Release my beloved concubine!"
Neptune suddenly looked up, his eyes burning with fury.
At this moment, Rosse was standing in front of Sabina, with Otohime beside him.
"Beloved concubine? This kind of woman can become your new favorite, I really did drag Otohime out of the fire," Rosse let out a cold laugh, glancing at the terrified and begging Sabina.
'Compared to Otohime, this one is way inferior.'
'And also...'
