Chapter 130 Set-off Part 1

“Sensei…”

In Drilling Square, Zephyr is holding a teapot and sitting in a rocking chair basking in the sun. At this time, a sudden voice rang in his ears, and Zephyr’s massive Observation Haki flashed past before he relaxed his posture and took a sip of tea.

“Rowen, what’s the matter?”

Rowen’s Thunder-Lighting Human physic grants him a keen perception of radio waves which allows Rowen’s Observation Haki to receive sounds from far away.

And in the same way, Rowen can also transmit his own voice to distant places through the same radio waves.

As Rowen’s Sensei, Zephyr is very familiar with Rowen’s unique Observation Haki, so he knows it well, but he didn’t have the chance feel it before.

Standing on the top of a building in the Headquarters port, Rowen ignored the look on Dante’s face and the Den Den Mushi’s eyes, and he seemingly spoke to himself: “Fleet Admiral had asked me to rush to Jaya Island to clean up the Pirates there. I have to stop my training in these days until I am finished with the mission.”

“Oh, I see, be careful on your way then!”

Rowen: “…”

Zephyr’s indifferent tone caused Rowen’s mouth to twitch wildly. Sure enough, these old people had discussed everything early, and he was the only one who was kept in the dark!

But… he still can’t beat them so all he could do is suffer in silence!

This is a very despairing thing!

Rowen said after letting out a weak sigh.

“Well, I’ll set off first, and try to come back soon.”

“Be careful, Jaya Island is called the Pirate Paradise, don’t overturn your ship in the gutter.”

Zephyr reminded Rowen with a casual tone.

“Pirate Paradise?”

Rowen smiled while letting out his Killing Intent when he heard Zephyr’s words.

“It won’t be anymore…”

Zephyr’s tone stagnated as he thought about Rowen’s style of doing things.

Although Rowen is not as ruthless as Akainu, he is indeed a ruthless character who will achieve his goal without any compromise!

Zephyr couldn’t help but feel sorry for the Pirates who he hasn’t even met as he could already imagine their ending at Rowen’s hands.

But, Zephyr was very open to this point and he did not condemn Rowen for this.

He had already paid the price for “Not Killing” his enemies, so naturally, he didn’t want his disciples to repeat his old ways.

“That’s probably not a problem, but watch out for the Casino on the island there… it’s a bit troublesome. They know what to do if they are reasonable.”

Zephyr reminded Rowen and it wasn’t without concern.

If Jaya Island was so easy to be cleaned up then Tsuru would not have left the Pirates to roam there and neither would she recommend Rowen for this job.

One of the reasons is that it was an inconvenience for her to stay this long in a single place during her mission.

But the most important point is that Jaya Island belongs to a junction of the Underground World in the First Half of the Grand Line, and all hidden forces would have intervened if she decided to get rid of the Pirates.

This junction is commonly known as: The Black Market.

There are great characters behind these maggots, who are involved in all aspects of the business. Even if the Marines want to move them, they have to think twice before moving against them.

Naturally, the situation was quite different after the Gor?sei (Five Elder Stars) nodded their collective heads when the Marines wanted to establish a new branch.

If those people didn’t want to completely turn their faces and be beaten to death then they would retreat long before Rowen reached Jaya Island.

“Black Market?”

Rowen immediately understood what Zephyr wanted to say to him and he spoke with a confident smirk on his face: “Let’s see if they want to die or…”

If the people obstructing his path don’t listen then Rowen doesn’t mind taking the killing route to complete his mission.

This Mission is now related to his position of becoming a Vice-Admiral, and anyone who stands in his way would die!

At the end of the exchange, Dante led the soldiers and came towards Rowen before he saluted him and asked: “Rear Admiral Rowen, all members have been assembled!”

They were all the soldiers he took away during his first official mission and most of them belonged to him, the Rear Admiral.

After clearing Jaya Island this time, they will serve as Rowen’s henchmen to clean up for Rowen and assist him in the establishment of the Marine G-10 Base.

Looking at the energetic soldiers in front of him, Rowen nodded and waved his hand: “Board the Ship, you will need to act immediately after arriving at the destination, and sweep the place from inside out, Understand?!”

“Understood!”

Dante stood at attention and saluted before he turned around and shouted, “Everyone, board the ship!”

“Yes, Sir!”

After the reconstruction done by Iceberg on the War Behemoth, it has many characteristics that are unique to Rowen.

For example, the parts of the hull that can be modified with metal have been replaced with extremely electric conductive steel. Now, as long as Rowen is on the ship, there is almost no possibility of it sinking in the ocean.

The mast and the outer wall of the cabin are covered with a blue spiral lightning pattern made out of metal, which looks mysterious and noble and it also acts as a conductor of Rowen Thunder Metallurgy.

Incidentally, with the lightning rod on the top, the current would now be able to distribute to the seawater under the hull.

The original Cannons on the ship’s bow were turned into a weird but somewhat sacred beast head with a golden pattern, and the scale’s beast’s mouth was sculpted forward, revealing five heavy cannons inside!

The Galley-La Shipbuilding company took a lot of thought in order to avoid irritating Rowen.

They tried their hardest to not exceed the regulations set by the Marines, but they did their work in a way that also met Rowen’s requirements for the ship. This New War Behemoth is the culmination work of the Galley-La shipbuilding company and its name is…

“The Qilin!”
