Donghai, Rogge Town.
After leaving Cocosia Village, Rhodes and Fujitora arrived here quickly, but it seemed that they arrived a little early. Rogge Town was still a peaceful and peaceful town.
Ross didn't care. Since he came early, it didn't matter if he had morning tea and dinner here and waited a while.
A few days later.
In a teahouse somewhere.
Fujitora sat opposite Ross, drinking morning tea with Ross.
The weather was gloomy, with light rain falling, making this originally peaceful town seem to have some undercurrents.
Groups of marines can be seen on the streets from time to time, and the patrols are far more rigorous than a few days ago.
"There seems to be a change in the atmosphere."
Fujitora leaned against the window and drank tea. He felt the navy passing by in an orderly manner outside and the unusual atmosphere that gradually filled the town. He spoke slowly and calmly.
Ross was reading a newspaper. Hearing this, he glanced out the window and said, "Since I can know that this is the next target of the Golden Lion, then the World Government and the Navy must have a way to obtain this information."
"If the government knew about it, it would probably send heavy troops to guard this place."
Fujitora spoke slowly, his words a little solemn, but not very steady.
Ross smiled and said: "Not to mention that their purpose is to stop the Golden Lion, so what if they come for me, can they still move the entire navy headquarters to Rogge Town?"
Except for people like Garp and Sengoku, who can pose some threats to Ross today, the young Akainu Kizaru and others have almost no ability to threaten Ross's life.
Fujitora continued drinking tea.
At this moment, the corner of Ross's eye suddenly glanced at a figure walking in the alley outside the window, and his eyes paused for a moment.
"He's here too."
After hearing Ross's words, Fujitora looked up at Ross with a questioning expression.
Ross withdrew his gaze, without lingering on the fleeting figure, and said: "The leader of the revolutionary army, Long."
Fujitora's face changed slightly and he said, "Did the revolutionary army also get involved in this matter?"
"No."
Ross shook his head and said casually: "I think he probably has other purposes."
Fujitora fell into thought.
At this time, another figure familiar to Ross appeared, and walked straight into the teahouse, ordered a cup of tea, walked to a seat and sat down, it was Dasqi.
Her eyes looked a little melancholy, a little haggard, and she was not wearing a navy uniform. Compared with the last time she met Ross, she was completely different.
"Tsk."
Ross looked at Dasqi and couldn't help but clicked his tongue. It seemed that Dasqi still hadn't recovered from the last mental shock he gave her.
soon.
When the tea was served, Dasqi took it, said thank you, and then drank the tea in small sips.
For such a long time, Ross's words have been echoing in her mind, and when she looks at the problem from a neutral perspective, she can no longer regard the justice of the Navy as her bounden duty as before.
It was precisely because Tiantian was distracted and knocked over the tea cup several times that Smoker was a little annoyed and helpless, so he temporarily suspended her and asked her to take a good rest.
"well."
Dasqi wanted to get those voices out of her mind, but she couldn't. As she drank tea, she couldn't help but sigh.
And at this time, she accidentally glanced at Ross and Fujitora sitting in the corner, and because they were facing Ross, she directly saw Ross's face, and she couldn't help but froze.
"Come over for a cup of tea?"
Ross waved at Dasqi and smiled casually.
The shock in Dasqi's eyes slowly faded away. She pursed her lips, and her expression changed. In the past, she would have definitely drawn the sword immediately, but now she was in chaos inside, and finally couldn't control herself. The body still walked over.
"Captain of the First Division of the Ghost Hand Pirates..."
Walking next to Ross, Dasqi also saw Fujitora and quickly recognized Fujitora's identity.
"How will you be here?"
Dasqi was silent for a few seconds, and then asked Ross in a depressed tone.
Ross took a sip of tea and said, "I should be free wherever I am, but since you asked, well... I'll come to the Golden Lion to settle the score."
"Golden Lion?!"
If it had been a few months ago, Dasqi would not have been able to immediately think of the legendary pirate Golden Lion Shiji who had disappeared for twenty years.
But recently, the Golden Lion had caused chaos in the entire East China Sea, and news about the Golden Lion was spreading everywhere. Naturally, she reacted immediately.
"yes."
Ross said nonchalantly: "That guy almost killed me, and he did such outrageous things in the East China Sea. He should be sent to hell."
Dasqi was speechless for a while.
If Ross was an admiral, she wouldn't find it weird to say such a thing, but Ross was one of the most terrifying pirates on the sea.
Not knowing how to respond to Ross, Daschi bit her lip and couldn't help but said sarcastically: "But you have done no less evil than the Golden Lion."
Ross glanced at her and said with a straight face:
"Don't talk nonsense. What evil things have I done? Please tell me a few of them, Mr. Navy Sergeant."
"you… "
Dasqi was speechless for a while.
She had read a lot of newspapers and learned a lot about Rhodes within the Navy, but the descriptions in those things were all about the 'extremely evil' pirate, the 'Four Emperors who ruled all the nations', etc., and there was almost no concrete description. information about a certain matter.
"That is to say, you only know that I am extremely evil, but you don't know where my evil lies." Ross glanced at Dasqi contemptuously.
Dasqi gritted his teeth for a while, but couldn't find the words to refute.
"alright."
Ross drank the last sip of tea in the cup and said, "I'm done with the tea. I'm leaving. Do you have anything else to ask?"
Dasqi's expression changed for a while, and she hesitated to speak. It wasn't until Ross stood up and walked out that she gritted her teeth and asked, "What on earth is justice?!"
"ha."
Ross couldn't help but chuckle and said: "You really asked a very troublesome question. No one can answer this question. Everyone has an answer."
"Then what's your answer?"
Dusky continued to ask. She knew it was strange and ridiculous to ask a pirate such a question, but she just wanted to hear Ross's answer now.
"I don't have an answer."
Ross walked to the door of the teahouse and gave Daschi a completely unexpected answer. He glanced at her and said, "Why should I worry about what justice is?"
