Chapter 45 His cerebellum may have a problem.
The streets were spotless, the shops were full of goods, laughter filled the air, and the sky was exceptionally bright.
Marineford's formidable military strength ensured peace and tranquility even amidst chaos. There were no robberies or thieves, and the guests, mostly soldiers, were of high caliber. Patrols were readily available to maintain order, guaranteeing a high level of safety.
Making money here makes life itself an ultimate luxury.
Unlike the bloodshed beneath the extravagance of the Totto Land Kingdom and the gloom lurking in Flevans, here, Roman's Observation Haki only sensed a quiet, peaceful, and vibrant feeling. This feeling could perhaps be described as a tranquil happiness.
Even the air smelled peaceful.
Because it was still working hours, there weren't many people around. Roman's military uniform attracted a lot of passersby who turned their heads to look at him. But when they saw his delicate, still-childlike face under the brim of his hat, they all smiled kindly.
"It must be the child of some military officer," everyone thought simultaneously.
In the righteous atmosphere of Marineford, which child didn't dream of being a sailor?
In fact, most shop owners today also had a dream of becoming heroes 20 years ago. Unfortunately, they were either limited by their own conditions and failed to be selected, or they retired due to injuries.
Of course, some family members from the military dependents also come to the commercial area to do business. Because they are military dependents, the rent for their storefronts is cheaper.
From this perspective, joining the navy offers quite a few hidden benefits.
The navy still hasn't learned its lesson. Establishing naval heroes is fine, but no one does things without self-interest. If they had just spent a little more time promoting the benefits of being a navy member, they wouldn't have encouraged so many people to become pirates.
Roger lured countless people to the sea with his treasure, and the navy can certainly attract talent to join the navy with numerous benefits.
Moreover, if they have families, then the Navy is obviously more reliable than pirates.
Why wouldn't the newspaper agree to a collaboration?
Although Morgans is a difficult fellow to deal with, he's willing to accept the benefits offered by the Navy.
It should be noted that his newspaper is a large-scale organization, and this is done with the tacit approval of the World Government. He dares to offend the Navy, but he is unwilling to antagonize the World Government.
However, cooperating with such a dark tyrant would be considered a disgrace within the Navy.
Leaving aside Kong the steel skeleton, Sengoku probably wouldn't agree to that.
It's a pity that if you're going to take on the role of justice, then you can't set the bar too low.
But since they've already openly cooperated with pirates, it's not unreasonable for them to make some contact and exchanges with the underground emperor.
After all, the world isn't black and white; there's a gray area in between. If it's in your best interest, why not give it a try?
"Your meal is ready." A kind-looking grandmother handed Roman a steaming hot glutinous rice dumpling. The sweet red beans inside had blended with the white rice, giving it both the fragrance of rice and the sweetness of red beans. Swallowing it with the rising steam would immediately warm your stomach.
"Thank you." While enjoying the delicious snacks and contemplating such important matters of naval development, Roman couldn't help but feel narcissistic. "I really am a thinker."
Although they are not big shots yet, many people always put themselves in a certain role and imagine their future development plans.
Unfortunately, Roman also has this problem, and he often displays an arrogant "I am the only one who can do it" attitude at this time.
If this is the case for an ordinary person, then it goes without saying that it is for important figures.
People often have the misconception that they are indispensable to the world.
But no matter who leaves, the world will keep moving forward.
Thousands of years from now, the great pirate era that has caused this era so much fear may only leave behind a few words in history: "a relatively unstable era."
Nothing can withstand the passage of time.
The delusion is over. Stop.
Roman told himself that fantasizing about too many unrealistic futures would prevent him from seeing where he was in the present.
At this point, it's definitely necessary to hear something realistic to break the feeling of emptiness.
"I heard your husband got a promotion again. Congratulations."
"No, no, there isn't any."
A bittersweet feeling and a strong urge to suppress feelings of triumph.
"Boss, this apple isn't fresh anymore, can you make it cheaper?"
"Not at all, this is the best product in our store."
They tried their best to appear calm, and both of them were lying.
"You old bastard, you actually went to see a young girl, I'll beat you to death."
"I'm not afraid, we'll get a divorce tomorrow..."
This is a melodramatic plot.
In an instant, I was back in reality. I scanned my surroundings with my Observation Haki and discovered that the seemingly calm water was actually "turbulent." The realism of the scene shattered the illusion.
I don't know why, but inspiration just came to me.
At this moment, Roman's hands were itching; she couldn't wait to touch her sword. The process of switching between reality and illusion was somewhat magical, and she wanted to use her sword to depict the feeling she had just experienced.
She started running back quickly, but as she passed someone, she turned around and recognized him.
That person from just now... I feel like I've seen him somewhere before.
Golden hair, fair face, gentle temperament—I think I've seen her before.
Roman became a little uncertain.
After all, converting from two-dimensional to three-dimensional inevitably alters the character's appearance to some extent, so she cannot perfectly combine the two characters.
In particular, the exaggerated costumes in this world almost completely covered up the original facial features, making it difficult to match Roman with the character.
It's not that Luffy is face-blind; he really is prone to face blindness.
His steps were light, so he must have some skill.
Just as I was staring blankly at that figure, a violent fall occurred on flat ground, and incredibly, I landed face down.
Roman: ...
I take back what I just said.
Okay, I've recognized him. If I'm not mistaken, he is Don Quixote Rosinante, Sengoku's adopted son, known for his gentleness as "Corazon".
Compared to his later painted appearance, his current look is undoubtedly much more pleasing to the eye.
However, his disguise was probably quite successful. If he hadn't fallen, Roman wouldn't have recognized him. No wonder Rosinante was adopted by the Warring States for so many years and no one recognized him. They really couldn't recognize him; it was as if he had a completely different face.
However, his gentle heart remained unchanged, which is the biggest difference between him and the pure demon, Don Quixote Doflamingo.
The two brothers took completely different paths.
If all goes well, he should meet Law earlier than in the original story.
So what will happen this time?
Indeed, being a witness is not a bad thing.
Roman thought with a wicked grin.
Perhaps she could stir up this mess even more.
