Chapter 85 Finally Part 2

It is Rowen’s honoring ceremony. After enumerating the merits of Rowen, he took out a folded Justice cloak and held it in front of Rowen. Sengoku feels a little bit better now, compare to those three assholes, Rowen is still better!

At least, he looks pleasing to the eye…

“It’s all because of Fleet Admiral’s good teaching! Without the Marines, I wouldn’t be here today! I will remember this kindness in my heart! From this day on, I will be ready to sacrifice my life for Justice!”

With a confident smile on his face, Rowen reached out and held the cloak in his hand. Today, he will officially leave the Recruit status and become an official Marine officer. 

The Recruit’s short-sleeved shirt was thrown in the room by him long ago, and he changed into the black suit gifted to him by Zephyr.

Why is it a gift?

Because he is poor!!

He is a Recruit without any backing, where can he get the money?

Fortunately, even after the camp, the Marines will also provide food and accommodation for him, otherwise, Rowen would have needed to find some money to spend first and he is sure that he wouldn’t have found any money by doing legal things.

The Dragon Sword-Thunder Cloud hung around his waist, with short hair and a tough-looking face. His little white face has a unique self-confidence and firmness upon it, which adds a lot of points to his charm. 

His bright eyes are always calm as water, and they would not ripple even if the sky falls upon him at this moment. His persistent training has made him well-proportioned with muscles, and his body is elevated without being bloated. 

After changing into a suit, Rowen looks handsome and strong.

Sengoku was mentally prepared for Rowen’s lack of style and inattention, and such shameless compliments didn’t make him change his face.

What else can he do?

The Marines are the ones who had delivered such a shameless product, he is in despair too! With the addition of the three Admiral over there thinking of “Seeking power to usurp his throne”, Sengoku felt a sharp pain in his liver…

“Cut the crap, you have three minutes of speech time, finish it, and get lost ……”

Sengoku was in a bad mood for a moment and he narrowed his eyes while glancing at Rowen with a cold look on his face.

The latter suddenly became scared and stood up and saluted.

Shuā!!

The Justice’s cloak fluttered in the wind as Rowen put it on his shoulders. The bright gold star on the Epaulettes told everyone that from today on, the Marine Headquarters has one more Rear Admiral within their Ranks!

…

Not everyone is qualified to go to the award ceremony. Generally speaking, even Colonel-Grade officers will only get arranged for a brief certificate awarding speech, and the Marines will not convene all of them to hold the award ceremony separately.

Only when the rank of General is officially conferred will the award ceremony be held. The exaggerated and grand layout, coupled with arranging newspaper reporters to interview and report on Sea, is the only way for Headquarters to encourage their soldiers. 

Rowen’s credit is too high. Although it cannot be directly listed in Headquarters Vice-Admiral due to various reasons, he is completly qualified to be a Rear Admiral.

It was night, and many people came to Rowen’s independent courtyard.

Almost all of the Headquarters Vice-Admirals were present, and Garp took him to brush up his face very well. 

The appearance of the Thunder-Lightning Stimulation Device gave the Vice-Admirals no reason not to give Rowen some face, and they came to congratulate him for his position. 

At the same time, they came here because of the good relationship between Rowen and Garp, where the latter could be considered to have guided the former. 

In Marine, no matter whether it is the Peace Faction or the War Faction, they have no opinion and problems with Rowen.

The Garp faction is not an official name for the faction, it only represents a group of unrelenting people gathered around Garp’s personal charm. 

For example, the prick Smoker a few years ago, there are many such individuals in Garp Faction who have an attitude towards everyone, and the Peace Faction and the War Faction are all used to it.

After a group of Vice-Admiral came in, they toasted to Zephyr first. After all, most of them were disciples taught by Zephyr and were the Senior Brothers of Rowen. 

Soon, Zephyr, who was in a good mood, drank too much and began to drink crazily, he drank so much that even three or five people could not hold him. 

From all the people present here, Garp is the only one who has the strength and dared to do something to Zephyr, he eats donuts heartlessly beside him, adding fuel to the fire from time to time, and teasing Zephyr to make the scene even more chaotic!

Rowen was grinning from ear to ear as he saw that he was pushed out by a large group of people from his own bed as they began to pile up on the big bed like dogs in a doghouse.

If it weren’t for this day when he couldn’t get angry, Rowen would teach them how to be human by using the ‘Violent Ape of Hell’ without saying a word!

Naturally, if he does that then the result is likely that the new Rear Admiral would be surrounded by a group of veterans and then he would be hung up on the mast of a ship and would be left there to receive the sea breeze overnight. 

Not only will he be humiliated, but the next day he will be named and criticized by Sengoku for destroying public property and writing a review.

Don’t be surprised, what can he do with Garp that Old asshole here?!

“Long time no see, my Chief Imperial Guard!”

Just call me Rowen already.

While gritting his teeth, a familiar voice drew his attention. Rowen turned his head to look and his eyes glistened: “Your Majesty Rosa!!”

It is the former King and Rosa of Huadu West Island (Flower Capital). Next to him was the Fish-Man General Jade whom he had not seen for a long time and Huadu West Island (Flower Capital) current King Fred who was beaten up by General Jade.

“I’m not a Queen now, I am just an old woman who has been taking care of myself…”

After a long absence, Rosa became kinder. It seems that since Fred took over, Rosa’s mood has undoubtedly improved a lot. 

Thinking about it, Fred proved his tactics and ambitions in the form of treason. Now, she has left everything to her Eldest Nephew and she doesn’t need to worry about Huadu West Island (Flower Capital). It is normal for Rosa to feel better.

“I heard about your Honor day just after we docked, and I didn’t bring any gifts in a hurry, so I would gift this gem to you.”

With that, Rosa took out a crystal clear emerald from her arms and handed it to Rowen.

“It’s already enough that you have come today, you don’t need to be so polite!!”

Rowen’s words were humble but he took the gem in with lightning motion and put it in his pocket.

No way he is going to reject this, he is really poor now!

The drinks and food for this party tonight are still purchased by Shuzo, his Senior Brother’s help!

None of the Vice-Admiral who came to congratulate him directly sent him any Belly, but they gave him a lot of weird treasures, which are not easy to sell here, and it would be easy to offend many people if he tried to sell them here.

No matter how expensive a treasure is, it is useless if it can’t be used to bring food!

But Queen Rosa is really good, she gave him a gem, whether he exchange it for something or sell it for Belly with any female Marine, he would be receiving big money!

Rowen smiled happily after receiving the gift, but his eyes rolled and thought of Rosa’s other intentions.

So he leaned over and asked in a low voice: “Since the first king is here with you, isn’t it…”

“Naturally!”

Rosa looked at Rowen, who was like a little fox in front of her and couldn’t help covering her mouth and chuckling. 

For a while, it seemed like thousands of flowers were in full bloom, making people feel intoxicated. Even if the years are not forgiving, the Queen’s charm remains undiminished. 

It can be seen from the treatment she received from that Old Asshole Garp who stared at her all the time there?

Rowen greeted General Jade, who took a box from his arms and handed it to Rowen.

The tall Fish-Man General Jade stood up and even the lights were blocked from Rowen’s gaze with his height. 

He smacked his lips and said, “I can understand Armament Haki’s training method. After all, you are a Marine, and everything in the Marine is about Military Merits. But do you really think that my Gyojin Karate (Fish-Man Karate) would be useful for you?”

That’s right, the content of the transaction between Rowen and Rosa was this. He helped Rosa solve the internal and external troubles of Huadu West Island (Flower Capital), and Rosa helped him find Armament Haki’s practice method so that he could bypass Marine Military Merits restrictions and train himself.

But a Devil Fruit Ability User learning Gyojin Karate (Fish-Man Karate)? Are you ready to drown in the sea? Are you fucking kidding me?

“General Jade, who has spent decades on land, has evolved the unique Wind Treading Class technique from Gyojin Karate (Fish-Man Karate), which must use a form of liquid as a key element. This ability is not limited to naval battles!”

Rowen’s mysterious smile did not explain much.

In response to this answer, General Jade’s face distorted but he did not speak anything.

A Gyojin Karate (Fish-Man Karate) that must use a form of liquid as its display element abruptly evolved into a Wind Treading Class technique that can be released on land. The power does not decrease but increases. Why?

Rowen glanced sympathetically at Garp, who was pretending to be calm. Even without the handsome Fred, Garp’s love rival is quite strong!
