It concerns his reputation as the Pirate King.
"Garp, do you keep a diary?"
As Char spoke, he looked at Garp beside him.
"This old man? This old man will never keep a diary again."
"Don't even mention diaries, I never write performance reports!"
"It's always the higher-ups begging me for promotions and raises!"
Karp spoke the truth.
"Really? Who keeps a diary anyway?"
"Can those written-down inner thoughts still be called inner thoughts?!"
"Oden?! He's nothing but a lowly, brain-damaged man."
As Xia spoke, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
If Roger hadn't mentioned Oden, he wouldn't have bothered to comment on this guy who was written as Kozuki Oden but read as someone with cerebral palsy, effeminate, and mentally challenged.
Even with a dragon charging right at you, you still lost. Seriously, Oden, if you can't handle it, start over!
I'll kill your son, Momonosuke, for you.
I will take care of your wife and daughter.
Oden? You might as well go and dance naked in the frying pan!
Please read on! Please read on! Please read on, brothers!
Chapter 15 Char: Look, Roger not only entrusted his wife and children to me, but he also has to thank me.
Roger's brows furrowed as he spoke.
"Needless to say? Of course, it's up to me."
At this point, Char stopped pretending to be confused and directly pointed out Roger's doubts. Char pointed to himself and said softly.
"You mean rely on you?"
Roger was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting that he could rely on Char.
"Of course you'll rely on me. If you don't rely on me, who else can you rely on?"
"In this world, is there anyone more trustworthy than me?"
Char Aznable's face showed sincerity as he spoke.
"You? Are you worthy of my trust?"
Roger looked Char up and down, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
Although Char and Shanks look almost identical, their temperaments are vastly different. Compared to the carefree and easygoing Shanks, Char's eyes seem more murky and he is more calculating.
"I am certainly worthy of your trust."
At this moment, Xia nodded.
"Besides, you have no one else you can trust or rely on right now except me!"
Char spoke earnestly to Roger.
"How to say?"
Roger seemed to have an idea and asked Char.
"Roger, do you know your standing in the eyes of the World Government?"
Char first asked Roger.
"Hmm? I'm not entirely sure, but I think it should be quite high!"
Roger thought for a moment, then said with a smile.
"It's not a matter of whether it's low or not; it's a matter of the world government's deepest concern..."
"Roger, do you know?! From the moment you and your pirate crew arrived at Laugh Tale, after you learned about the contents of the Poneglyphs placed on the island—content that must never be known to anyone—you yourself became someone who would shake the World Government's rule over the seas and the existence of the Celestial Dragons, a privileged class in this world."
Char directly pointed out Roger's danger.
"Therefore, the World Government will absolutely spare no effort to erase your traces! Especially when your name contains the key letter D, that would be adding insult to injury!"
Char brought up rumors about the D. clan.
"Forehead……"
Roger was clearly aware of his identity, so when Char mentioned the D. clan, his brows furrowed and his eyes showed a hint of wariness towards the World Government.
"While you were alive, the World Government might have been constrained by your personal power and the military coercion of the entire Roger Pirates, and used a more conciliatory approach..."
"But once you die, the Roger Pirates will fall apart like a pile of sand, and your only threat to the World Government will vanish without a trace! At that time, do you think the World Government will allow a child who inherits your evil bloodline to be born into this world?"
Before Roger could speak, Char continued to ask him questions.
"It's obvious that the World Government won't let your bloodline grow unchecked. Therefore, once you die, the government will completely wipe out the entire island of Baterila, where you lived, along with everyone on the island..."
"Roger, don't think my words are alarmist, don't think that the government wouldn't do such a heinous act as slaughtering an entire island! Everyone here is a firsthand witness to the God Valley Incident, and no one knows the dark side of this world better than you."
"So believe me, if we destroy an island and eliminate hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, we can erase the last trace of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger left on this world! I'm sure the World Government and we Celestial Dragons would be happy to do it; they'd think it's a worthwhile deal! After all, we Celestial Dragons have been doing this ever since we ruled this sea eight hundred years ago..."
Xia paused for a moment after saying this.
After seeing Roger's expression grow increasingly grim, Char looked at Garp beside Roger and said softly, "At that time, do you think Garp will rebel against the World Government for your child? The justice behind him is already suffocating him, isn't it?!"
"So, Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King who conquered this sea and is known as a living legend, now answer me: in this world, besides myself, a member of the Celestial Dragons and a member of the privileged class, who else can help you?"
At this point, Xia looked at Roger and asked in a deep voice.
"Indeed, just as you said..."
"If things take the worst-case scenario..."
"Besides you being a Celestial Dragon and having the privilege to protect my child and wife, it seems there's no other way..."
Roger continued, echoing Char's words.
However, Roger's tone suddenly shifted. He slowly narrowed his eyes, looking down at Char, and coldly asked, "I understand everything you're saying! But, Shanks' brother, what does this have to do with you? After all, you're a Celestial Dragon too, aren't you? You're my enemy, aren't you?"
"So, as Shanks' brother, on this vast sea where the World Government, the Celestial Dragons, the Marines, pirates, and other major powers converge, which side will you choose to stand on?! Answer me! Tell me, what exactly do you want from me?!"
As Roger finished speaking, a crimson aura of dominance subtly flickered in his eyes!
At this moment, Roger was like a lion that had just woken up, exuding an aura of dominance.
"Forehead……"
Stussy, who had been following Char Aznable and waiting for his chance, was shocked to find himself unable to move the moment Roger unleashed his Haki!
She felt as if she were being targeted by a ferocious beast, a fear that seeped into her very bones! At that moment, she was like Monet on Punk Hazard, being watched by Zoro…
However, the Haki Roger was releasing at this moment was on a completely different level from the Haki Zoro had released on Punk Hazard.
If Zoro's Haki is like a newborn lion cub opening its eyes, then Roger's Haki is like a lion king who is already invincible and at the peak of his power.
"I can't move! I can't move at all..."
"I'm going to die! If this continues, I really will die!"
Stus knew that he had underestimated Roger, the Pirate King.
If Roger had been serious, she and Char wouldn't have had a chance to escape, let alone use a Den Den Mushi to notify nearby naval ships and call for reinforcements.
Their strength is on a completely different level from Roger's.
"You ask me which side I'm on?" Xia smiled after hearing Roger's words. "Is that even a question? I'm naturally on my own side!"
"Roger! Tell me everything you know!"
"Where exactly is the final island marked by those four road signs? And what is recorded on the stone tablet on the island?"
"I know that it's definitely not just a simple record of the historical events that happened during the blank century that was erased by the World Government..."
"If it's just about the historical texts themselves, the historical texts carved on the other steles already record enough! There's no need to record them separately..."
"Therefore, I conclude that there must be something special existing on that final island called Laugh Tale..."
Char ignored Roger's domineering aura and spoke to Roger in a deep voice.
"I see. So you really are Shanks' brother?"
Roger was stunned for a moment after hearing Xia's words, and then he suddenly laughed.
Then, as if he had thought of something, Roger added, "Celestial Dragons, Marines, pirates—in the future, countless people from different classes and backgrounds will gradually awaken! They will embark on the search for Laugh Tale and the struggle for ONE PIECE for all sorts of reasons! That will definitely be an unprecedented golden age!"
"So, I absolutely will not tell you..."
"If you want to know something, go find it yourself! You little brat from the Celestial Dragons!"
"I've left everything you want to know there..."
"Hey Roger! Do you know you don't have the right to refuse me right now?!"
"Do you really understand your current situation? The lives of your wife and your unborn child are still in my hands!"
