"Finally he lost it, right? I'm talking about Shiki..."
On Sphinx Island, which had become Whitebeard's home where he spent most of his time instead of the sea, Rob was talking to Whitebeard, Newgate.
Since their battle years ago, the battle that almost sank Ring Hell Island now known as Hunters Island, the relationship between Rob and Newgate had become deep, as if they were old acquaintances, just like the relationship between Newgate and Roger... and to a lesser extent, Shiki as well.
"Apparently," Rob's response was clear and brief.
"Why didn't you kill him then? In my opinion, Shiki would be happy to die by your hands rather than rot in Impel Down or your central prison," sighed Whitebeard while drinking sake from the large vessel in his hand.
"I am merciful to the disabled and vulnerable. I am not a cold-blooded killer. In my opinion, mercy is also a kind of strength. When a person cannot even use their mind to think properly, it is better to keep them away from others so as not to harm them first, and to avoid hurting themselves. If he is not treated, there will be no trial," said Rob calmly.
This was true as a person of the 21st century, although he was not a saint, he had a sound intuition. And now, since he possessed the necessary factor that allowed him to make decisions as he wished, which was power, there was no problem keeping his most basic principles.
In addition, it was not difficult for him to control a powerful madman like the Golden Lion. It would be somewhat unfair to kill him after being pushed to madness. In any case, Shiki himself had suffered significant brain damage after being injured in the Larvas Archipelago War by the Steering Wheel...
After adding the Strong World arc volume and the constant mockery of Kaido throughout their reading of the volume, then the hatred and contempt of the whole world, and after the end of the arc, he was constantly attacked in the global forum... all this pushed Shiki to lose control and desire to uproot the East Blue from the map.
Rob's arrival and his feeling of threat in the situation of life and death removed his last obstacle towards madness...
"... And that's what happened." This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.
"Sigh, the Golden Lion was truly foolish, but he didn't deserve this end," said Whitebeard.
"Anyway, I came to take your son to my rehabilitation center. If he's not treated properly, he'll become the next Shiki."
Whitebeard's eyes widened after hearing what Rob said. He certainly didn't want this to happen... unfortunately, he would see his son in a worse condition than the Golden Lion in the manga. What would his reaction be at that time? Only time would reveal the details.
"Of course, I'll be grateful for that, Rob." Whitebeard sighed with relief and expressed his agreement.
As Rob turned to leave after getting the child's father's approval, Whitebeard's voice was heard.
"I heard that your subordinate, World, was ambushed by Navy admirals. How is he doing?" Whitebeard asked...
He hugged his wife, Whity Bay, who held their newborn son, Momonuske, tightly towards him before saying, "Thank you, my comrades, for the wonderful journey you have given me over these four years. I will never forget it. But now, it is time for me to take the position of the country's Shogun and fulfill my inherited role. It is time to open Wano Country and prepare for the coming prosperous era..."
"Wano Country will not break its promise. It is clear that I am the person who will fulfill that promise in this era."
Oden wiped away a happy tear before turning to look towards Kuri with his small family beside him.
"But they went to welcome Naruto's return instead of welcoming you, who have been away from them for more than Naruto... What promise are you talking about, Oden-san?"
Marco's words were like an arrow piercing Oden's heart at that moment.
