One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 288 Roger surrenders
"Captain Rayleigh!"

Buggy looked at Rayleigh who was getting off the ship with a look of disbelief. He didn't expect that Vice Captain Rayleigh would get off the ship so decisively. He was the person who had been with Captain Roger the longest!

"Bucky, stop looking at me like that, it's Roger who's dying, not me!"

"I may live in seclusion in the Sabaody Archipelago from now on. If you miss me, you can go there to find me."

Rayleigh said this without even turning his head, and left resolutely!

"Roger, and everyone, I am very happy to travel with you. Now the journey is over, and it is time for me to get off the ship!"

Jabba was the second to step off the boat, carrying his great axe.

Soon after, more and more crew members got off the ship one after another, and finally only Buggy and Shanks were left on the ship.

"Shanks, I'll leave my straw hat to you!"

"Bucky, I'm giving you the treasure map that I worked so hard to get. If you find the treasure in the future, remember to tell me."

Looking at Buggy and Shanks who were still on the boat, Roger laughed and threw the two little guys overboard. Then the Orl Jackson started sailing without wind and continued to carry Roger on the sea.

With the disbandment of Roger's pirate group, for some unknown reason, the news also spread.

In addition, those who wanted to find Roger's pirate group could not find them, so the news that Roger's pirate group reaped a rich harvest in the final island made the entire pirate group's split-up become more real.

The whole world is looking for the traces of the members of Roger's Pirates, but those people cannot be found. It is as if the entire Golden Phoenix crew of Roger's Pirates have mysteriously disappeared from this world.

After the Roger Pirates disbanded, Roger came to the South China Sea and, just like in the original work, fell in love with Portgas D. Rouge and spent a wonderful newlywed life.

In the year 1498 of the High Garden Calendar, when Roger sensed that his life was about to come to an end, he left without saying goodbye, found Garp alone, surrendered to him, and then entered Impel Down under Garp's capture.

After the Navy and the World Government learned of this incident, they realized Roger's huge reputation as the Pirate King and decided to publicly execute Roger in Roger Town in the East China Sea.

They hope to use Roger's death to deter the pirates who are ready to make a move, let them know the powerful deterrent power of the World Government, and make those pirates who want to go out to sea feel afraid and dare not go out to sea as pirates.

"Pirate King Roger was captured by Navy Captain Garp and is about to be publicly executed in Roger Town in the East Sea!"

"Oh my God, Roger has been captured. I wonder if the Navy has dug out all his treasures and the secrets of the Final Island!"

"Damn it, Roger is the king of our pirates. Won't the big pirates in the New World go to save Roger?"

"You are kidding me. The lawless pirates in the New World don't recognize the title of Pirate King. Roger's pirate group was defeated by the Feikong Pirate Group before, and Roger was also defeated by the world's number one swordsman Li Yuan. They have never acknowledged that Roger is the Pirate King!"

"."

The news of Roger's capture spread throughout the ocean in almost a day. It was much more explosive than the news that Roger had become king.

After all, Roger’s reputation is now at its peak, but unexpectedly there was a shocking reversal. Before Roger was born again, he was actually captured by the navy!

The entire turbulent sea seemed to calm down the moment Roger was captured.

Countless people were paying attention to Roger's movements, or rather, to the navy's movements, to see if the navy was really going to publicly execute Roger in Roge Town in the East China Sea.

As a result, many outsiders suddenly flocked to the not-so-small town of Roge in the East China Sea. Most of them were pirates, and there were also many spies sent by other forces in the world.

In this world, if we were to ask who had the biggest reaction to Roger's capture, apart from the original members of Roger's pirate group, the one who had the biggest reaction was the Golden Lion who had been eyeing the ancient weapon!
"Damn Roger, how could he be caught by that guy Garp!"

The moment he saw the newspaper, Golden Lion was like an angry lion, his domineering aura soared to the sky, and everything in the room was shattered in an instant!

"Captain, could this be Roger's conspiracy? He knows he won't live long, so he wants to do something."

Reinhardt then walked in and said that others were afraid of Golden Lion in his angry period, but Reinhardt, as the think tank of the Flying Pirates, knew very well how to get along with Golden Lion in this state.

"No matter what his conspiracy is, I still haven't gotten the secret of the ancient weapon from Roger. Once he dies, who can I ask for it?"

Golden Lion has been searching for ancient weapons for many years. Now he has finally improved his strength to the point where he can defeat Roger, but Roger is about to die. How can he accept this?
"Captain, Roger is not the only one who knows the secret of the ancient weapon. The rest of Roger's pirate group should know it. After all, they landed on the final island together."

Reinhart said.

"Hahahahaha, you're right, but do you think we should go and save Roger?"

Golden Lion knew that Reinhardt was right, but it was also possible that only Roger knew this secret and no one else knew it. Although the probability of this was very small, it was possible.

In order to prevent such an accident from happening, Golden Lion came up with the idea of ​​rescuing Roger.

"Captain, with the strength of Roger's pirate group, it is impossible for Roger to be captured by the navy. That is something that even we, the Sky Pirates, cannot do!"

"Obviously, Roger was caught by the navy on purpose. Even if we rescue Roger, it is likely that his plan will be ruined!" "By then, do you think Roger, with his personality, will be able to hand over the secret of the ancient weapon to us?"

Reinhardt analyzed carefully.

"In that case, we can only target the other members of Roger's pirate group!"

The Golden Lion said helplessly.

That guy Roger refused to hand over the secret of ancient weapons, which annoyed him to death!

As time went on, the navy built an execution platform in Rogge Town in the East China Sea, and the navy released photos of Roger advancing into the city, making the matter of Roger's arrest completely confirmed.

As a result, more and more people rushed to Roger Town in the East China Sea. They all wanted to see whether Roger would really be killed, and what crazy things the guy known as the Pirate King would do before he died.

On the sea, there is a ten-meter-long boat. Although it has no one driving it, it can still speed across the sea.

"Pirate King Roger? You don't deserve this title. Let me see what qualifications you have to be crowned Pirate King!"

There was only a young man with a sword on his back standing on the bow. He was Gai Nie, the eldest son of Li Yuan, who came out of the Wuji Sea to gain experience!

He has lived in the Wuji Sea since he was a child, received the best education and resources, and was trained in the Fighting Pyramid for two years.

It was not until he was sixteen years old that Li Yuan allowed him to leave the Wuji Sea and go out into the world to gain experience.

Li Yuan has never made public any information about his children, so almost no one in the outside world knows that Li Yuan has children, let alone knows that Gai Nie, the lone ranger who has made a big name for himself in the North Sea, is Li Yuan's child.

"Hmm? A powerful swordsman!"

Hawkeye Mihawk, who had just arrived in Rogue Town, stared with his sharp eyes at the small boat speeding on the sea, where he sensed a powerful sword intent.

"Great Swordsman?"

When the eagle-eyed Mihawk was not looking at him, Gai Nie also noticed the young man on the coast who was carrying a big sword on his back. In him, Gai Nie sensed the unique sword intent of a great swordsman.

"So young?"

When Gai Nie arrived at the coast, Hawkeye Mihawk looked at Gai Nie in surprise. He did not expect that the person in front of him was so young. It was the first time he saw such a young swordsman.

"My name is Gai Nie. Are you interested in a sparring match?"

It was also the first time that Gai Nie saw a powerful swordsman of the same age other than his younger brothers and sisters, and suddenly a strong desire to fight surged up in his heart.

"My name is Mihawk, and I am very interested in your invitation to fight."

When Mihawk heard Gai Nie say this, he immediately agreed. Even if Gai Nie didn't say anything, he would still invite him to fight.

In kendo, one can only become stronger faster by constantly fighting with powerful swordsmen.

"Let's go find a secluded place to spar!"

After getting off the boat, Gai Nie opened the map of Rogue Town with a smile, and then rushed to the north.

Hawkeye Mihawk also followed behind Gai Nie, chasing him closely, as if he was afraid that Gai Nie would disappear.

Gai Nie quickly found a deserted place with no one around. This was an undeveloped area in Rogue Town, where wild beasts often appeared, so almost no one would come here.

"The sword in my hand is the Supreme Great Swift Sword Twelve Skills: Wind-Splitting and Water-Flowing. Please teach me!"

Gai Nie stared at Mihawk with high fighting spirit and slowly drew out his sword.

This supreme sword was given to Gai Nie by Li Yuan when he was promoted to a great swordsman, and he regarded it as Gai Nie's own sword.

"The sword in my hand is the Supreme Great Sharp Sword Twelve Works Night, please teach me!"

Hawkeye Mihawk also stared at Gai Nie with a burning gaze, which was full of desire for a sword fight.

The supreme sword in his hand, Night, has not yet been tempered into a black sword, but he is determined to temper his sword into the most powerful black sword in the world!

"Sword Technique: Blade Ripping to the Sky!"

Gai Nie's whole body was filled with sword power, and he swung his sword. A silver slash hundreds of meters long, like a crescent moon, flew towards Hawkeye Mihawk at a high speed.

The silver slash carried an incomparable sharpness, and even from a distance, Hawkeye Mihawk felt a stinging sensation on his skin all over his body.
