Chapter 196
"Oh? You said that the senior came to Beihai?"
"He is really something. He came to Beihai in a mysterious way without telling me in advance."
"Luckily I met Peng En, otherwise I would not have been prepared at all."
After learning from Dor that Borsalino came to Beihai, Rosen's first reaction was happiness.
In the Navy Headquarters, there are only four people who have the best relationship with him.
Two peers.
Kake and Gion.
Two elders.
Zephyr and Borsalino.
No.
Compared with Zephyr, Borsalino's relationship is more unique. He has both the care of an elder and the ease of getting along with peers.
"Admiral."
"I think this matter may not be simple."
"Regarding Admiral Kizaru's coming to Beihai, he may come for you."
Unlike Rosen, Dor was a little worried about Borsalino's appearance.
It was because she vaguely sensed that the admiral's trip to the North Sea was definitely not a simple trip or vacation.
There must be a reason.
And it is very likely that Rosen is involved.
"Just think about it."
"Senior came to see you without informing me in advance."
"I'm worried that Admiral Kizaru came to the North Sea because of Tenjo Gold."
Dor pondered for a moment, then reminded Rosen to prepare early.
As a lieutenant colonel in the headquarters and an adjutant carefully selected by Sengoku for Rosen, she knew the importance of the admiral.
If there was nothing important, he would not leave the headquarters easily.
"First, the senior's hometown is in the North Sea, and it is normal to go back home."
"Second, he is a navy admiral, and he doesn't have to report to me wherever he goes, right?"
"As for coming for Tenjo Gold, maybe so, but it doesn't matter."
Rosen shook his head.
He didn't care why Borsalino came to Beihai. He just knew that his senior came to Beihai, so as a host and a junior, he should receive him well.
Just like an extremely important guest or an elder visiting.
The first reaction was not to doubt the other party's motives, but to entertain him warmly.
"Dor."
"You only need to remember one thing."
"As long as he is still my senior, you must treat him with courtesy."
Rosen was both comforting and waking up Dor.
What didn't happen, didn't happen.
You can't be defensive and alienated just because of possibilities and speculations.
Let's not talk about the relationship between himself and Borsalino. As long as they are navy soldiers who uphold justice, even if they have opposing positions and conflicting justice, his view is to unite everything.
Even if they have fought with him, he will not reject and fight.
Rosen can tolerate even the Seven Warlords of the Sea for the time being.
He can even subdue Vinsmoke Judge.
He could even discipline Gild Tezoro patiently.
Not to mention the navy.
As long as they are not the trash among the pirates, like the hopeless prisoners in the sixth layer of the infinite hell, and have no effect on the navy, Rosen's purpose will always be to unite everything.
"Sorry."
"Admiral, I lost my mind."
Dole's restless heart calmed down after hearing this.
She also reacted.
She lost her mind because of the arrival of the admiral of the navy.
But there is nothing she can do about it.
After all, her boss is too generous.
After taking office in the North Sea, every action has tested her psychological endurance.
"Then you should know what to do now?"
Rosen saw that Dor had regained his usual calmness and composure, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Be prepared to receive Admiral Kizaru."
Dole said without hesitation.
"Go."
Rosen nodded happily.
In private, the two are seniors and juniors, and they have a very good personal relationship.
In public, Borsalino is a navy admiral, and the proper reception etiquette should be followed.
Relationships are built by relationships, but this relationship is not just about words, but actions.
If your behavior is frivolous and rude, and you always show disrespect and neglect, with the extremely distinctive personality of a navy admiral, who would be willing to unite around you?
Even a vice admiral would not be willing.
…
The entrance to the Upside-Down Mountain is not far from the location of the 1st Branch, and Borsalino is riding the latest version of the battleship of the Navy Headquarters, which has its own power and a very fast speed.
Only one day later, Dor, who had been paying attention to Borsalino's movements, learned from a navy ship patrolling nearby that a warship had entered the territorial waters of the 1st Branch.
Remembering Rosen's instructions, she immediately performed the reception etiquette to the fullest.
Although there was no band, and no banners were hung, but except for some patrolling navy officers, all the navy officers in the base were gathered at the dock.
Rosen was of course present, and even called Douglas Barrett, who lifted weights every day.
He was not interested in studying Borsalino's intentions, nor would he guess. He only knew that since Borsalino came to the North Sea and wanted to visit him, he should receive his senior well.
That was all.
Soon, a warship appeared in Rosen's sight, cutting through the sea, rippling waves, and heading towards the dock of the first branch.
As the warship anchored steadily at the dock, a figure walked down from the deck at the first time.
"Junior, just come pick me up."
"Such a big show, but I am a little frustrated!"
"You know, I was in a hurry to leave this time, so I only brought a bag of tea. This souvenir is very thin. Facing your scene, I am embarrassed to get off the boat."
Borsalino carried a bag of tea, looked around the crowd, and then fixed his eyes on Rosen.
Reunion after a long absence.
His junior is already standing at the top of the sea, commanding all branches of the West Sea, and holding great power.
But when facing him, he was just like when he was in the naval school before graduation.
This made him very happy.
As a naval admiral, Borsalino didn't care how many people Rosen brought to greet him, or what ceremonies and programs he prepared. These didn't matter at all.
He only cared whether Rosen himself was there.
What was the result?
Rosen came early, and even brought Dole and Douglas Barrett, his right-hand men, to wait for him at the dock of the first branch.
The respect of the junior to the senior.
He pulled it full.
Before he set off, he remembered Rosen's preference and finally found a bag of special black tea from the Tea Country as a souvenir.
"Senior, your gift is not small!"
"What's more, sending tea from a thousand miles away is more important than the gift."
"You came to the North Sea from the Grand Line, and you didn't forget to bring me tea. As the host, of course I have to show my appreciation."
Rosen's eyes swept over the tea in Borsalino's hand. He knew that this was not a variety that could be seen everywhere in a roadside tea shop.
Same.
Just as Borsalino only cared about whether he was there, he only cared about Borsalino's intentions.
When he went to Beihai, he never forgot to bring souvenirs for himself, and they were carefully prepared.
There was nothing much to say about Borsalino's senior status.
"Speaking of Beihai, your subordinates told me a lot about you along the way, and I saw a lot with my own eyes."
"To be honest, at the beginning, I really couldn't believe that this was my hometown where pirates were everywhere."
"After you came to Beihai, it was as if the Great Pirate Era had never appeared here."
Borsalino couldn't help but sigh.
He was not complimenting, but was amazed at Rosen's achievements from the bottom of his heart.
How long has it been since he came to this sea area and took office as admiral?
It's only been half a year, and the North Sea has changed.
In the past, he almost only heard the voices of pirates in this sea, and the voices of the navy were really weak. After the Great Pirate Era began, they became weaker day by day.
But this time he revisited the old place.
He only heard one voice in Beihai, and that was the voice of the navy.
