Chapter 214
Chapter 214
"Heh... I didn’t expect the plot to progress this fast. Has it already reached the Summit War?"
The corners of Rorschach’s mouth stretched into an extremely exaggerated smile.
’Plot? Summit War? What does he mean by that?’
Kalifa, standing beside him, heard his muttering and felt confused.
Since she couldn’t understand, she could only assume this was just another one of her captain’s usual eccentric moments.
"This really is big news. Seven days from now, huh? The Marines have probably already started summoning the Warlords to gather."
"Jinbe is probably going to be in big trouble. I wonder how things will turn out after this."
"Interesting. Very interesting."
Rorschach put down the newspaper and burst into laughter.
His arrival had already caused massive changes to the original story. Many events had already shifted, yet the Summit War was still happening on schedule.
This was one of the plots he had been looking forward to the most since coming to this world. Just thinking about the battles from the original story made his blood boil.
Although he had no interest in saving Ace, how could he possibly stay out of such a major event?
"Captain Rorschach! This isn’t something to laugh about!"
"The Marines’ actions are too abnormal! From what I know, they’re probably planning to make a move against the Emperors of the sea!"
Kalifa was very uneasy and spoke nervously.
The Marines were openly declaring war on one of the Four Emperors. To her, this was extremely strange.
Normally, criminals like this would be thrown into Impel Down. Yet this time, they were publicly provoking Whitebeard, one of the strongest rulers of the sea. It almost seemed like they were deliberately trying to anger him into participating in the war.
She had reason to suspect that the World Government was preparing to take action against these sea overlords.
If that happened, Rorschach and his crew would also be targeted by the World Government.
"Don’t panic. We’re in the sky right now. The World Government still can’t do anything to us."
Rorschach raised his hand to calm Kalifa down, speaking in a relaxed tone.
"Even if we’re in the sky... there’s no guarantee the World Government doesn’t have some kind of weapon designed to deal with us. If even Judge could create flying equipment, then Vegapunk could probably do the same."
Kalifa was still worried and voiced her concerns.
"Heh heh. Even if they can fly, so what? This world runs on strength. Even if all three Admirals came, I wouldn’t be afraid of them."
"Besides, how could I possibly stay out of something this interesting? I bet the look on the Marines’ faces when I show up will be pretty entertaining."
"What?! Captain Rorschach, you actually want to go there yourself?!"
Kalifa was shocked by Rorschach’s idea.
Most people would do everything they could to avoid getting involved, yet Rorschach wanted to jump right into the middle of it. Wasn’t he afraid of drawing fire onto himself?
This was going to be a battle between the world’s strongest man, Whitebeard, and the most powerful organization in the world — the World Government!
"What’s there to be afraid of? Little Silver and I will be enough. You all just stay home and behave."
Rorschach reached out and pinched Kalifa’s chin, smiling.
However, in the next second, she slapped his hand away.
"Captain Rorschach! This is sexual harassment!"
Kalifa pushed up her glasses. The reflection on the lenses hid her eyes as she spoke seriously.
"How boring. I’m your captain. Shouldn’t you just obediently listen to whatever your captain says?"
Rorschach pouted. Kalifa’s personality was completely different from the others. She was quite cold when it came to these matters — in short, she had low libido.
But that only made conquering her more interesting.
"What kind of captain would do this kind of thing to his own crew members?! And these things aren’t something you have to obey just because the captain says so!"
Kalifa maintained her cold, elegant, and serious expression, gradually regaining the sharp, competent secretary vibe she used to have.
"Alright, alright. I won’t tease you anymore."
"About the matter I asked you to handle earlier — how’s the intelligence gathering going?"
Seeing that Kalifa wasn’t reacting to his teasing, Rorschach returned to his normal serious tone.
"Yes! Based on the information we’ve collected so far, Big Mom and Kaido’s positions haven’t changed. We’ve located Whitebeard. The only one whose position remains uncertain is Red-Haired Shanks. We’ve confirmed the locations of the others."
Now that Rorschach had become serious, Kalifa also relaxed and switched into her professional mode, speaking in a clear and serious tone.
Previously, Rorschach had ordered his old subordinates and the three CP9 members to gather intelligence on the other Four Emperors.
He wanted their locations confirmed so he could go cause trouble for them later.
Originally, the three CP9 members had been taking turns protecting Caesar around the clock. After Judge arrived, they switched to rotating shifts.
With two skilled agents out gathering intelligence at the same time, their efficiency was quite high.
"Good. Give me Whitebeard’s current location."
Rorschach nodded.
"Whitebeard’s location... let me check. Found it. It’s here."
"Captain Rorschach, why do you need this right now? Don’t tell me you’re planning to go see Whitebeard?"
Kalifa found the map in her personal space and handed it to Rorschach, looking confused.
"That’s right. Remember to tell Nami and the others not to wait for me for dinner today."
Rorschach waved the map in his hand and smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the clear sky right beside him. It was Nami.
"I heard that. Aren’t you being way too reckless? You’re planning to go to one of the Four Emperors’ territories alone again?"
"This time isn’t like attending a tea party. If you barge in carelessly, you might end up fighting Whitebeard before he even has his war with the Marines."
Nami ran her fingers through her slightly messy hair and spoke helplessly.
"Don’t worry. I’m not going there to fight. I just want to meet the old friend that Captain Shiki used to mention so often."
"Whitebeard probably won’t survive this Summit War. If I don’t go see him now while I still can, I probably won’t get another chance."
"You’re that certain Whitebeard will lose to the Marines? Don’t forget — he’s supposed to be the strongest man in the world."
Nami looked at him doubtfully. She hadn’t expected Rorschach to side with the Marines.
If it had been anyone else saying this, she wouldn’t have believed it. But since it came from Rorschach, she trusted it completely.
"The Marines have far more hidden strength than what you’ve seen. Just the three Admirals alone would be more than enough to give Whitebeard trouble. Not to mention those two old monsters — Garp and Sengoku."
"Whitebeard has almost no chance of surviving this war!"
Rorschach spoke with absolute certainty.
