East Blue, G62 Branch, 1511
The morning light shines through the blinds and falls into the simple and solemn office.
On the table, patrol reports from various sea areas were neatly stacked, each with a bright and eye-catching stamp:
[Pirates eliminated] [Black market cleanup] [No record of emerging forces]
The air was filled with the faint scent of ink and the salty sea breeze.
Behind his desk, Rogge, wearing a military uniform and with his cape casually draped over the back of his chair, was reviewing the last batch of regional closing reports.
There was a sound of a door being pushed open.
Rhett walked in, his uniform straight and his steps steady, but his face couldn't hide a hint of uncontrollable excitement.
"Report, Boss!"
He held up an envelope with the highest-ranking red seal of the department, his tone faintly revealing uncontrollable excitement:
"Headquarters summons has been issued again—"
"This time, it even has Admiral Sakazuki's autograph!"
Rogge paused slightly when he heard this.
He slowly raised his eyes, and a complex and deep light flashed in his dark eyes.
He smiled slightly, his smile cold but with a hint of affection:
"Is Uncle Sakazuki personally summoning you?"
The fingertips tapped the table, making a crisp sound.
After a moment's silence, he closed the last East Blue battle report, stood up, put on his uniform jacket, and shook his cuffs lightly.
His gaze was as calm as a lake, yet it revealed the suppressed flames of a deep-sea volcano:
"…That's all."
He walked slowly to the window and looked out at the calm East Blue sea in the morning light.
Sails are dotted around and fishing boats are sailing back and forth.
This sea area, which was once a den of filth and a place where pirates were rampant, has now finally been cleaned up to its spotless state.
"If I don't move, it's boring."
"East Blue, it's almost cleaned up."
Rogge lowered his head and thoughtfully brushed across the old notebook on the corner of the table.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and a name that made him feel helpless flashed through his mind:
——Buggy.
This guy was clearly a Pirates player in East Blue back then.
However, during the process of clearing out, he slipped away like a loach and disappeared without a trace.
"We've been cleaning it out for four years... We've even cleared every last island, and we still haven't found him."
Rogge narrowed his eyes slightly, with a sarcastic arc at the corner of his mouth.
"...Conqueror's physique? Or was it just pure luck?"
He chuckled and shook his head:
"However, you can escape temporarily... but you can't escape forever."
Collect your thoughts for a moment.
Rogge turned around and said quietly:
"Reply to headquarters."
"Give me another two months to take care of the tail."
"Then we'll set off."
Rhett straightened his back and nodded heavily.
When he reached the door, he couldn't help but look back and asked casually:
"So, Boss, where are we going for these two months?"
Rogge raised his eyebrows slightly, a sharp, almost imperceptible smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Where are you going?"
His tone was leisurely, but it concealed an unshakable will:
"Sky Island."
Lei Te was stunned: "Sky Island?!"
Rogge stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as sharp as a blade:
"There is a 'God' with great potential."
"—It's time to bring that power under the banner of justice."
The wind swept through the spacious office, blowing the Marine flag on the table.
When the last batch of suppression battle reports were compiled and Rhett left, Rogge was left alone in the empty office.
The next moment.
[bite--]
The interface of the Absolute Justice System quietly unfolded in his mind, accompanied by a familiar and low prompt tone.

Rogge lowered his eyes to look at the panel and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips.
The ability of the fruit is controlled by Haki.
His growth rate has already completely crushed the ordinary Marine training curve.
But he was not in a hurry to use the remaining judgment points to improve himself.
because...
He chuckled softly and swiped his finger across the other side of the interface.

East Blue G62 Branch Training Ground Late Night
It was late at night and the only sound on the training ground was the howling sea breeze.
Rogge stood on the sidelines, wearing a Marine uniform, his cloak fluttering in the night wind, holding a small silver potion bottle in his hand, the bottle reflecting the faint moonlight.
Not far away, Rhett was sweating profusely with his upper body bare, punching the stone pole for martial arts training alone.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each punch was a heavy and powerful thud after the hardening of the Armament Haki.
Sweat wet the ends of his hair and dripped down his chin.
Rogge watched quietly for a while, then walked slowly forward and threw the potion in his hand over.
"then."
Bang!
Rhett reacted extremely quickly and caught it steadily.
He looked down at the bottle and then back up at Rogge.
His eyebrows raised and he grinned, "What is this...?"
Rogge didn't answer.
He just stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes as calm as the sea at night, and uttered only one sentence lightly:
"I drank it."
Rhett didn't ask any more questions.
Without the slightest hesitation.
He unscrewed the bottle cap without any doubt, tilted his head back, and drank it in one gulp!
The sweet and hot liquid medicine slid into my mouth.
moment!
Like a ball of fire, it exploded in his body!
boom--!
Rhett's blood boiled, his muscle fibers vibrated, and every cell in his body seemed to be awakening!
He suddenly knelt on one knee, clenched his teeth, and his body trembled slightly!
Sweat and blood mixed together and evaporated from under the skin like steam!
And Rogge just watched it all quietly.
His eyes were calm and his palms were slightly clenched.
He knew this process would be painful.
But he knew even more that Rhett would be able to hold on.
Because they are comrades who have walked side by side all the way to today.
Moreover, because...
Rhett, there is never any need to doubt.
"Hold on a little longer."
Rogge whispered, his voice full of unshakable conviction.
Rhett gritted his teeth and slammed his fists on the ground, his knuckles bursting out with inky Haki light!
At this moment, flesh and blood and will have truly sublimated!
A few minutes later.
Rhett stood up slowly, his eyes were bloodshot, but with an unprecedented fanaticism!
He clenched his fists, feeling the seemingly endless torrent of power in his body!
"This power is…!"
Rhett whispered in shock.
Rogge approached, patted his shoulder, and spoke indifferently with a hint of brotherly comfort:
"remember."
"This is—the qualification for the road ahead."
Rhett took a deep breath and suddenly grinned, his eyes filled with wolf-like sharpness!
"Got it, Boss!"
The wind swept across the silent training ground.
Two figures, under the starlight, have a tacit understanding with each other like steel.
The East Blue chapter has come to an end.
And the storm that belongs to the New World——
It's brewing quietly!
[Meanwhile · South Blue · Unknown Sea]
The waves were rolling and the rain was pouring down.
A tattered little Pirates boat, which could almost be overturned by a wave, was struggling in the wind and waves.
The mast was askew, the sails were tattered, and the deck was patched.
On the boat, Buggy was wearing a flamboyant clown costume, holding onto the mast with both hands, swaying from side to side in the sea breeze while yelling:
"Damn it! What a horrible weather! What a horrible place!!"
His face was ashen, like a colorful salted fish hanging on a pole.
A few exhausted brothers nearby were trembling, holding onto the broken guardrails, retching and trembling as they asked:
"Captain...weren't we...living happily together in East Blue?"
"Isn't East Blue the most gentle and safest?! Why did you have to come to South Blue?!"
Buggy gnashed his teeth, his red nose twitching, his tone filled with uncontrollable frustration and instinctive fear:
"...I don't know why, but I feel like—"
He swallowed and looked up in the direction of East Blue, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
His body was trembling.
"...If I even show my head in East Blue, I'll be blasted to pieces by some monster in the next second!!!"
The younger brothers were stunned:
"???"
"What kind of crazy excuse is this!!!"
"What on earth happened in East Blue?! Even our Captain Buggy is so scared?!"
Buggy kicked the side of the boat hard, his face flushed red.
"You know nothing!!!"
"I'm a born child of destiny, a top-notch intuitive Conqueror's clown!!!"
"My premonition was so accurate!!!"
Just as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck the sea next to the boat, causing the sea water to explode high into the air and the boat to shake so much that it almost capsized.
The younger brothers covered their heads and howled:
"Ahhhhhhhh!!! Captain!!! Don't set the flag!!!"
In the wind and rain, Buggy held on to the mast tightly and refused to let go. He was soaked and looked extremely miserable.
The small broken boat drifted away like a fallen leaf in the turbulent waves of South Blue.
As if fleeing from the roar of some terrible beast of fate.
But Buggy was completely unaware——
It is precisely because of the existence of a monster in East Blue that completely wipes out everything.
He was forced to flee South Blue out of instinct, even though he could have lived in peace.
Avoid the East Blue Justice Era where even the air is filled with the scent of death!
That sea area is no longer a place suitable for clowns to live.
——East Blue has changed.
It has become a terrifying paradise where even Buggy, the "Conqueror's Lucky Physique", dares not stay for long!
