One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

"Three days? Just three days, and it's equivalent to my seven or eight years of training?"

"I always feel like I've wasted the whole time I've spent honing my swordsmanship..."

"Perhaps, you brat, you could conquer this entire sea with just your swordsmanship..."

Roger stared at Char, who had mastered the Divine Evasion technique in just three days, speechless with shock.

Roger had witnessed those born with immense strength, such as Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, who displayed astonishing talent from childhood, following the path of overcoming all obstacles with sheer force...

But someone with such exceptional skill and talent as Char Aznable was someone he'd never seen before.

"Sigh, keep a low profile, it's just basic stuff~"

In response, Xia spoke modestly.

Happy New Year, brothers! Here comes another 4,000-word chapter, and I'm begging you to keep reading! I'm begging you to keep reading! I'm begging you to keep reading!

Chapter 18 Xia: Sister-in-law, quickly say goodbye to my older brother Roger, we should go.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

During this month, Char maintained a happy life of training, reading, and testing every day.

Every morning, Char would first walk half a circle around the island...

He made a brief appearance before the naval and World Government agents stationed near the island's pier, reassuring them while keeping them waiting on the island's outskirts.

Around noon, Char would go to Garp and Roger to practice hand-to-hand combat and swordsmanship. It must be said that Char's learning ability is truly remarkable; he can usually master a new technique in two to three days.

When night falls, Char will go to find Stussy! At this time, Char's level seven endurance will show its power!

However, Char's unparalleled prowess caused Stussy a lot of trouble...

I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it!

In response, Stussy said, "No, I need to find a few more to 'release his pent-up desire' for this damn stallion. I really can't keep up with him all by myself!"

At times like this, Char would sigh helplessly.

There's nothing we can do; he just can't hold out that long!

As time passed, a month later...

The time had come for Char to part ways with Roger and the others.

In front of Roger's secluded cabin.

Char, Stussy, Garp, and Rouge are saying goodbye to Roger.

Roger crossed his arms and looked at Char before him, saying with a touch of emotion, "You kid, you truly live up to your reputation as Shanks' brother! Your swordsmanship talent surpasses even Shanks'! Perhaps one day you'll become the strongest swordsman on this sea!"

"Heh..." Roger chuckled coldly, a hint of jealousy in his eyes. "What makes the Figarand family so special? How can they produce two such outstanding children? It makes me a little envious of that beast Garin! How can Garin, a Celestial Dragon stud, have so many excellent children? Is it because he has so many children?"

Sometimes Roger wondered if he had started dating too late.

Whether it's his seemingly antagonistic but actually friendly Garp, or his mortal enemy Figarand Garin, whom he met during the God Valley Incident, their children have already displayed astonishing and formidable talent. Given time, they will both rise to prominence on this sea and become powerful rulers! As for Roger's child, whether it will even be born is still uncertain.

"Haha~"

Char simply smiled at Roger's complaints and praise.

"Then let's proceed according to plan."

"Lady Rouge, we'll be leaving now..."

"A month after we leave, Roger, you will encounter Vice Admiral Garp on a nearby island. After a three-day, three-night battle with Vice Admiral Garp, you will ultimately be defeated by the arriving Marines and fall to the hands of the Marine hero. You will then be successfully captured by the Marines. At that point, it will be a win-win situation for the World Government, the Marines, and you, Roger..."

Char looked at Roger and spoke with a smile.

"Okay! Let's do it your way~"

Roger listened to Char's words and then spoke with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, Roger personally took Rouge's delicate little hand, and then reluctantly placed it into Char's hand, whispering, "As for Rouge, I'm entrusting her to you!"

"Don't worry! I will take care of your wife and children, so don't fret..."

Char took Rouge's hand from Roger and smiled as he responded to Roger.

After responding to Roger, Char turned to Rouge and said softly, "Sister-in-law, from now on, just relax and live with me. Just rely on me as you would on your older brother Roger."

"Then it's up to you!"

Rouge's eyes revealed deep gratitude after hearing Char's words.

Although these days, whether it's Roger, Char, or Garp, they all intentionally avoid her when discussing future plans, always greeting her with a smile, as if they don't want to put too much pressure on her.

But Rouge was a clever woman; she actually understood everything. She pretended to be an innocent, pure woman simply because she didn't want the man who was about to die to have any worries in his heart, nothing more...

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to be so polite!" Xia Ya waved his hand at Rouge repeatedly and said, "Brother Roger and I hit it off immediately and are sworn brothers. This little favor is what I should do!"

"Rou..."

At that moment, Roger seemed to remember something. He took Rouge's hand, his eyes filled with tenderness, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Rouge~ I won't be able to grow old with you in this lifetime. You'll have to work hard on your own in the future~"

"I am the key to unlock a new era! This new era has no ship left to carry me~ My journey ends here! But your journey, and the child's, has only just begun~"

Roger paused for a moment, then continued, "After the child is born, if it's a boy, we'll name him Ace; if it's a girl, we'll name her Ann!"

"Yes, I understand! Roger, go in peace! Don't have any worries. Do whatever you want, just do what your heart desires! I will definitely give birth to your child, I swear..."

Rouge gazed intently at Roger's weathered face, wanting to imprint his image into her mind in her final moments.

"The person I've wronged the most in my life is you..."

Roger looked at Rouge with a hint of regret in his expression.

"Char, kid, this knife has been with me for half my life, you can take it!"

"If my child ever takes a liking to swordsmanship, please remember to pass it on to him for me..."

After a long, intense gaze between Roger and Rouge, Roger seemed to remember something, drew his Ace sword from his waist, and was about to hand it to Char...

However, at the moment Roger pulled Ace out of his skin, Char saw a deep reluctance in Roger's eyes! In Char's view, Roger's reluctance to part with Ace was even greater than his reluctance to part with his wife and unborn child.

After all, for a master swordsman with superb swordsmanship, their sword is basically equivalent to half of their body. Moreover, Ace's incomparably sharp sword witnessed Roger's transformation from an ordinary pirate to the Pirate King praised by everyone. It was as if it accompanied Roger from poverty to wealth, from youth to old age, and personally witnessed Roger's legendary and magnificent life!

But despite his understanding, Char still couldn't help but curse, "Roger, you scumbag!"

"We won't need the knife for now."

After hearing Roger's words, Char shook his head slightly.

"Why?"

Roger looked at Xia with a hint of doubt, and asked, "Isn't this the knife you wanted?!"

"I did say I wanted your sword, but not now..."

Char smiled faintly after hearing Roger's words.

"Um?!"

"If I leave now with your knife, your wife and children will be in grave danger!"

"On this vast ocean, who doesn't know that Ace, one of the '12 Greatest Treasures' and one of the two great heroes of the sea alongside Whitebeard's Murakumogiri, was the sword of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger?!"

"Am I swaggering away with your sword now to tell the world that I, Figarand Char Aznable, have ever had contact with the Pirate King Roger?!"

“I just met you, and coincidentally, I returned to the Holy Land with a pregnant woman. Do you think the Five Elders won’t be suspicious?”

"Roger, use your walnut-sized brain! Don't let your sudden whim ruin everything for us, okay?! There's a reason I haven't taken anything with me. It's not that I don't want to take it, it's that I simply can't take it..."

Char looked at Roger as if he were looking at an idiot.

"Ah, this..."

Roger fell silent after hearing Char's words.

"So, how about you sign a contract with me first?"

As Xia spoke, without giving Roger a chance to think further, he gestured to Stussy to produce the contract he had prepared in advance.

The contract was simple, but it was over fifty pages long. Char had basically filled in all the loopholes!

In short, it's actually just talking about one thing...

That is, after Roger's death, Roger's estate will be kept by Char and will be handed over to Roger's children when they come of age.

So many pages?

Roger looked at the contract in front of him and suddenly felt dizzy.

Asking Roger to fight or kill someone is fine, though.

Making him read a document filled with dense text, over fifty pages long, is practically the same as killing him!

"Stop talking nonsense, just sign and that's it!"

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you..."

"I have nothing to gain from you, a dying man..."

Char gestured to Stussy to record the conversation using a video denial-of-contact mushi, in case anyone said that his contract with the Pirate King Roger was fake.

Of course, Char also sought out the naval hero Garp as a notary to ensure the contract's validity. It has to be said, Char is incredibly cautious!
