Strange, very strange.
Water in the Rear said he didn't know the Eight Great Demons, so he shouldn't have participated in the final battle.
If he didn't get sealed inside the Shikon Jewel, that means he disappeared a long time ago.
So why did he suddenly show up now?
And also…
What is a Saint? What is the Right Seat of God?
Can the Right Seat of God fight against a Demon Lord?
He said he is Water in the Rear, and one of the Four Emperors also controls water, so could they be related?
Too many questions filled Tsuru's mind. Even as Marine's chief strategist, her brain couldn't process it all at once.
"Mr. Water in the Rear, would you be interested in coming back to Marine Headquarters with us?"
Ah Xing suddenly said.
Tsuru glanced at Ah Xing, but didn't object.
Although Water in the Rear's identity is still unclear, and what he said might not be true, inviting him to Marine Headquarters would be the right move.
"I have things I need to do." Water in the Rear said.
"…What things?" Tsuru asked softly.
"To eliminate the source of chaos in this world."
Water in the Rear said calmly, then disappeared in the next moment.
Too fast…
The source of chaos in this world?
What does he mean?
"He's gone." Ah Xing said in a low voice. "What do we do now?"
"Let's go back first, with Rosinante." Tsuru sighed softly. "A mysterious person suddenly appearing, we don't know if he's a friend or foe…"
.........
After their conversation with Water in the Rear, this information quickly reached the Five Elders.
Makima finished screening a new batch of people with powers in the Pandora Room and received a letter from the Five Elders.
The children the World Government has been sending lately are getting better and better. They adapt well to training their powers.
It's much better than at the beginning.
The first batch of power users to train had already reached their limits and left. Some joined The Black Order, some joined CP, and some even went to Mary Geoise as guards.
Of course…
They were all trainees!
Even if they gained power evolutions, their abilities were still limited due to their natural talents.
Their training wasn't just limited to psychokinesis though. With psychokinesis, they also received other training. This means their limits would be higher than their predecessors.
They are still young, but when they grow up they will definitely become a strong force in various organizations.
And this force will only get stronger…
After receiving the message from the Five Elders, Makima put down what she was doing and left for Mary Geoise.
When she arrived at the Room of Authority in Pangaea Castle, she found Tsuru was also there.
"I heard Vice Admiral Tsuru discovered 'Water in the Rear'."
Makima said casually after sitting down. "No wonder the Five are so eager to call me over."
The longer she cooperated with the World Government, the more relaxed she became in the Room of Authority.
She sat just like the Five Elders, while Tsuru could only stand.
Not just only Tsuru, even Marine Admirals and Fleet Admirals could only stand…
"Here's what happened."
Tsuru didn't mind the difference in treatment. After all, Makima had contributed a lot. With the Five Elders' permission, she began to describe their encounter with Water in the Rear.
"What do you think of what he said?" After she finished, one of the Five Elders, with his hands on his sword, asked Makima.
"The Right Seat of God, I have heard of that organization, but it was a long time ago for me." Makima crossed her legs and said with a smile, "Legend says they are a team of four who have erased their 'original sin'. Each is like an angel walking on Earth, a monster capable of fighting Demon Lords on equal ground."
Fighting Demon Lords on equal ground!?
They couldn't help but remember Aatrox, who had appeared in Alabasta. He was terrifying. Even Roger, with the enhancement of the Key to Hell, could only fight the heavily injured Aatrox on equal terms.
Could the Right Seat of God really fight true Demon Lords on equal ground?
That was too exaggerated!
Seeing their expressions, Makima knew what they were thinking, so she added, "Like the Four Emperors, they also represent 'Earth, Fire, Water, Wind'. Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind are the four basic forces that make up the world. Back then, both humans and demons strengthened themselves using these elements."
"As for your guess, you're not wrong. The Four Emperors were indeed the first four Demon Lords. But as time passed, the number of Demon Lords increased to eight, so the title of Four Emperors was canceled. They were simply called the Eight Great Demons."
The Five Elders and Tsuru processed the information Makima provided. Then one of the Five Elders with a big beard asked, "What about a Saint?"
Makima replied, "A type of person whose body naturally aligns with a god in some way. These people are extremely rare. There have been no more than twenty Saints in history."
"No wonder Water in the Rear said he is 'both a Saint and a member of the Right Seat of God'." One of the younger Five Elders sneered, "He's the rarest of the rare."
There are fewer than twenty Saints, and only four members of the Right Seat of God. He is indeed very rare.
A Saint is someone whose body aligns with a god, while a member of the Right Seat of God is someone who has erased their original sin. It sounds very religious.
So one of the Five Elders asked, "What does 'god' represent?"
Of course, they couldn't say something stupid like the Celestial Dragons are gods. Did they know Celestial Dragons are really gods?
If there really was a god in this world, they would never use the title of god to refer to Celestial Dragons.
"…I don't know." Makima shook her head. "The era of the Four Emperors ended, and a lot of information about the Right Seat of God and that era disappeared. After that, another four Demon Lords gradually rose to power."
"I'm from this later period, so I don't know much about the Right Seat of God or gods in general. I only know some legends about them."
"Then…Why would the Right Seat of God, who disappeared, suddenly appear in this era?" The first Five Elder with the long sword frowned again.
"That…" Makima hesitated, then shook her head. "I don't know. I can try to ask him, but I can't guarantee he'll tell me everything."
Suddenly, a guard walked in and said to the people in the Room of Authority, "The 'Water in the Rear' we've been monitoring is quickly..."
"Approaching the Roger Pirates!"
Instantly, the Five Elders and Tsuru were shocked!
Chapter 251: Frozen!
Marine Headquarters
Ann personally took Rosinante to a secret Marine base.
A Celestial Dragon's child…
Speaking of which, Roger is also raising one.
Well, Shanks isn't the same baby he used to be. He's already seven or eight years old and is starting to learn how to be a pirate.
But there's no way she could keep Rosinante by her side like Roger with Shanks. She's just putting him in the recruit training camp.
This training camp is the one she used to be in. There are other kids in there, so Rosinante will fit right in.
"Did Mr. Water in the Rear just leave like that?"
As they were about to enter the training camp, Rosinante was still dazed.
Everything had happened so fast, he didn't even know what was going on.
His brother killed his father, he escaped, and Water in the Rear found him.
Before he could stay for long, the Marines came and took him to Marine Headquarters.
He felt like he was in a dream the whole time.
"I don't know. Maybe he'll come find you after he's done with his business." Ann gently patted Rosinante's head and said softly, "Go do your own thing. When you meet again, you can't still be as weak as you are now."
"Okay…" Rosinante was quiet, perhaps the recent events had been too cruel for him.
Ann wasn't focused on Rosinante at the moment. She was thinking about the information the Marines had detected.
Water in the Rear…
Is quickly approaching her main body?
He's looking for Roger?
Why?
He said his purpose was to 'eliminate the source of chaos in this world'. Is that Roger?
What a joke?
Ann passed on what she knew to Roger. Roger, who was sailing on the sea, was taken aback.
Water in the Rear…?
Ann's knowledge of Water in the Rear was limited to Ah Xing and Tsuru's accounts. She didn't know about Makima and the Five Elders' conversation in Mary Geoise.
All he knew was that Water in the Rear might be from the demon era. No, not might be, definitely!
Ann also knew some information beyond the Marines, which was that Roger had found a strange box with eight symbols on it, including Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind.
That's enough to prove that Water in the Rear is telling the truth. The Four Emperors he faced were four of the Demon Lords.
The Right Seat of God…
She was worried, but Roger sounded very relaxed.
"Maybe he's coming to have a drink with me."
That's what Roger said to Ann, but after he hung up, he couldn't help but smile wryly.
"What's wrong?"
Rayleigh asked curiously when he saw Roger walking out of his room.
"A friend is coming…"
Roger sensed that it was a troubled time, but he was also a little excited.
Since he had become so strong, there were very few people who could fight him.
Aatrox and Kozuki Oden were both demons. Fighting them was out of a sense of responsibility and anger. Roger couldn't find any excitement in it.
Over the years, only Hiko Seijuro could fight him at full strength, but Hiko was a very passive person, so it was hard to find excitement in fighting him.
Now, this mysterious Water in the Rear might fulfill his expectations.
He's not a demon, so let him be a human opponent!
Roger looked into the distance, where he could sense a powerful life form approaching.
Roger was always in a state of Observation Haki, so after Ann reminded him, he soon noticed someone approaching.
Walking on the sea, sounds pretty romantic, it would be nice to have a drink with them after they get on board.
Roger's words attracted the attention of those around him. They quickly gathered together and noticed a person walking towards them on the sea.
He was wearing a white shirt and blue pants. He didn't have anything that looked like a weapon in his hands. His golf shirt was stretched by his strong body. It didn't seem like he had any extra space to hide weapons.
But even so, Roger was still extremely cautious.
I am both a Saint and a member of the Right Seat of God. Let's not talk about what a Saint is for now, but the Right Seat of God are powerful people who can fight Demon Lords.
He had to be careful just because of that.
Finally, Water in the Rear stopped on the sea less than a hundred meters away from the Roger Pirates.
He seemed to have some crystal clear thing in his hand, and he flipped it around. The crystal then fell into the sea like raindrops.
Then, the change happened within seconds.
Squelch~
A strange sound spread throughout the area in a very short time. The sea within a radius of dozens or even hundreds of kilometers around Water in the Rear was frozen!
?!
But strangely, this extreme cold only affected the sea. It didn't seem to be harmful to people. At least, the Roger Pirates felt a little cold, but it wasn't fatal.
That chill, capable of freezing an area of hundreds of kilometers in a few seconds, should theoretically be able to freeze people to death instantly.
But in Water in the Rear's hands, this powerful weapon seemed to simply create a place where he could fight his opponent to his heart's content.
Terrifying…
So terrifying!
"Who…is he?"
Rayleigh's pupils widened greatly, and he looked at this scene in disbelief.
Even if he had seen many incredible things, he could only imagine such a scene happening with one person, no, a demon.
Aatrox!
"Don't worry."
He looked at Roger, and Roger said with a smile, "It's okay, Mumei, take everyone away from here first."
"Are you kidding me?" Gaban said unhappily, "Are you telling us to run away?"
"No, no, no, it seems like that guy wants to talk to me alone." Roger said in a low voice. "Trust me, I'll catch up soon."
"…" Mumei was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I'll be back in a while. Be careful."
Roger grinned. After hearing Mumei's answer, he immediately jumped off the big ship and landed on the frozen sea.
In the current state, the ship can't sail at all. After all, it's not an icebreaker.
Yeah, I have to find a way to get a ship that can move in any environment!
Roger thought to himself, his body already walking towards Water in the Rear.
As for the ship and the people on it, they were taken away by Mumei's teleportation power as he walked forward.
But taking away so many people and the ship at once must have consumed a lot of his strength. Plus, the radius of the ice is a hundred kilometers, so he won't be back anytime soon.
