After discussing the current situation with Saint Saturn again, Rosse simply left.
Ever since the Holy Land incident, Sora and Gion and the others had returned to the Holy Land.
Because the laboratory was located underground, and in the end the island collision was stopped by Imu, it was not affected at all by this incident, and could continue to be used without any issue.
However, due to some special reasons, Sora had not yet fully launched her experiments.
Rosse, with light steps, walked into the main hall where he lived.
After the Jaygarcia family was rebuilt, the construction was faintly centered around him, while the place where Saint Saturn lived was in the front half upon entering, and almost all of the back half was his territory.
Entering the palace, Rosse saw Sora sitting on the bed.
Sora's face carried the same gentle expression as always, and it was even more intense than ever.
"How's your body? Do you need the fruit ability user to help supplement your nutrition?", Rosse walked to Sora's side and asked in a gentle voice.
Amid the chaos of the seas, his first child in this world had also been born.
At this moment, the little baby named Sanji was sleeping peacefully in an exquisite cradle nearby, being carefully cared for by Stella.
As for the name, Rosse didn't particularly mind.
The child inherited his appearance and Sora's blond hair, so he named him with this name.
But same name, different fate, he wanted to see what this child would become under his own upbringing in the future.
"Your Highness, I'm not that fragile; in a couple of days I'll be able to move freely," Sora shook her head and directly refused.
She was very clear about her own physical condition. Actually, she could get out of bed even today.
But tomorrow was the day Rosse would leave. This time she couldn't follow, so she might as well go along with his wishes and rest in bed for a few more days.
"Alright then, just take care of yourself. The World Government here will be left to you. If you feel it's too troublesome, contact me anytime, or tell Saint Saturn," Rosse walked to Sora's side, letting her lean into his arms, while he gently kneaded her body's acupoints to promote blood circulation and remove stasis.
He knew Sora's body was not weak. After these days of training and nourishment, though not at the level of a physical monster, she had reached the level of a former D-rank.
In the pirate world there weren't many empty things, whether one's constitution was strong depended on three things. First was talent, second was eating, third was fruit.
In terms of talent, Sora didn't have none, but she wasn't much different from an ordinary person.
As for eating and fruit, Rosse had given her the best treatment.
The Brain-Brain Fruit, although not like Zoans that could directly enhance physical constitution, could control the body's cell metabolism through the brain for digestion and absorption, quickly replenishing nutrients.
Although one couldn't become a monster through this method, reaching the limit of an ordinary person and becoming a B-rank powerhouse was not too big of a problem.
After a little tender moment with Sora, Rosse left the palace.
Although the family had new life, he had no thought of stopping his steps.
At the very least, he needed to have all the necessary preparations arranged before he could be at ease.
If he prepared twenty years in advance and still couldn't beat the Child of Destiny, then he might as well not bother.
Now it was already the end of 1501. According to his spies in the Goa Kingdom, Luffy's mother should still be active in that area.
Only, Rosse had no intention of making a move on her.
If, after twenty years of preparation, he still had to rely on killing a fertilized egg to win, then that would be far too boring.
The fun of life was in fighting people, fighting powers, fighting the heavens.
Rosse was more looking forward to seeing how fate would make the other side turn the tables after he had seized absolute advantage.
As for life and death, he had long ceased to care.
Clinging to life was never in his scope of consideration.
His nature was actually not much different from some pirates.
Rather than a boring eternal life or dying of old age in bed, he would rather experience excitement at every moment until the final instant of his life.
"Kaido, Kozuki Oden, next will be you."
Rosse took step after step forward, the corners of his mouth curling into a wanton smile.

[The Next Day, Holy Land Port]
A giant ship nearly a hundred meters long was docked at the port, like a mighty steel beast.
This was Rosse's new vessel, which he had ordered long ago, and now it was finally completed.
This new ship was named by Rosse...
Jaygar!
Sails unfurled and ship set off.
With Rosse's order given, the Jaygar slowly left the port and entered the New World.
Upon arriving in the New World, Rosse stood at the bow, a smile hanging on his lips, looking at this sea which to him was relatively unfamiliar.
"The New World, huh. I've heard that strong people here are as numerous as cattle, and those who can use Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki are more than ants," Rosse said with a smile.
"That's most likely a rumor you heard. It's said there are many strong people here, but in reality not so many. If an island has a few dozen people who can use Armament Haki, that's already quite good," Gion stood straight behind Rosse, the white World Government cloak flapping sharply.
She was Rosse's first wife, and also the person who always accompanied him on his trips.
And this time, she could finally serve as a combatant.

On this journey, she would break through herself and step into the realm of top-tier powerhouses.
"Dozens on one island is already quite an exaggerated number. I heard in Wano Country there are even more who can use Armament Haki," Rosse smiled.
Armament Haki, to them, was really not some special skill.
Being able to use Armament Haki was merely the threshold for B-rank.
But to this sea, B-rank was already not a weak powerhouse.
If spread across every inhabited island, one in a hundred islands producing a B-rank was already quite good.
"In Wano Country, Armament Haki is called Ryuo, considered a skill many samurai have mastered. Some powerful individuals can even master external release and internal destruction," Gion explained.
She should be considered someone of Wano ancestry, only that she had left with her family when she was young.
But this time going to Wano, she had made sure to learn about it in advance.
Because this operation was relatively dangerous, among all of Rosse's close people, there were only two accompanying him.
Gion and Olvia.
Olvia's life or death, while Rosse did care, he didn't care that much.
Although Gion's constitution was very strong and her endurance especially high, Rosse still respected her and wouldn't play any particularly nasty forms of opposition.
But since he wasn't bringing Moa this time, he still needed another outlet, so Rosse brought Olvia.
He had also promised this woman before to take her to see the Poneglyphs.
Having mastered the ability to rewrite Poneglyphs, there still needed to be a witness to prove that what he changed was the genuine article.
If he remembered correctly, Wano Country had quite a few Poneglyphs.
But before going to Wano, there were still a few islands they could stop by.
