If Sengoku doesn't pull back his net soon, I'll become the Pirate King!

Chapter 300 Ancient Robot Emmett (Happy National Day!)

Shouts of battle, explosions, screams of agony —

Egherd, a secluded island in a sea somewhere in the New World, has become lively again after a long time.

"It's Gol D. Roger!! The Roger Pirates have landed on the island!"

"Reporting to the Five Elders, Lord Satan!"

"Hurry and protect the scientists and ancient robots—BOOM!"

'

""

Jabba unleashed a flying slash, killing several agents and scientists, his blood-soaked face beaming with a fanatical smile.

"Hey, you bunch of nobodies!!"

"I'm Jabba, the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates! Attack me!"

Pitam, who was responsible for providing support, looked at him strangely: "Jabbar, weren't you ranked third?"

"Bullshit!! I'm second!"

Jabba kicked Pittam, cursing irritably, "Order of service isn't about who gets on the ship first being number two!"

"That Rayleigh guy only deserves to be third!"

Step forward and rush ahead at high speed.

The dazzling axe flash once again cleaved through several defending agents.

"Pietam, where's Roger?"

Pittam first fired the cannonball from the barrel in his hand, then slightly raised his head and activated his Observation Haki.

"Deeper still, Bucky and Shanks are over there too."

Deep in the island of Egerhead—

Roger led the two kids over the hill and through the jungle, emerging from a patch of grass taller than a person.

"This is it, right, the ancient robot—"

Upon seeing the enormous robot in front of them, covered in moss and with a broken horn, Bucky and Shanks' eyes instantly turned into stars.

"That's so cool!!"

Shanks, wearing a captain's straw hat, ran forward and hopped onto the ancient robot's body.

"Captain Roger is super cool! How about we take him with us?!"

"Don't talk nonsense, Shanks!"

Baji stood below the robot and kicked it a few times.

"This robot is malfunctioning; it must be out of power. We need to find batteries now!"

"Tch~ What a nonsensical red-nosed guy. How could such a big robot be powered by batteries?"

"Who are you calling a red-nosed idiot?!"

Ignoring Shanks and Bucky, who were fighting again, Roger frowned and stepped forward.

His right hand rested gently on the ancient robot's enormous belly.

"There seems to be a very strong domineering aura here—"

"Strange, why has it disappeared again?"

Seemingly noticing something amiss with their captain, Shanks and Buggy stopped fighting and ran behind Roger to ask him something.

"Captain Roger, is this robot alive?"

Roger shook his head, about to say, "How could a robot be alive?", but then stopped himself.

He couldn't determine whether the robot was alive or dead.

If it's an inanimate object, what's the deal with the domineering aura hidden within it?

If it were a living creature, it wouldn't have emitted much life force under the perception of Observation Haki.

At least he didn't sense it.

"Grass, earth, trees, stones —"

Roger began to use his special ability to hear the voice of all things, listening to the voices that all things conveyed to him.

Resilient and profound —

Countless messages echoed in my mind.

But when Roger shifted his attention to the ancient robot...

"What's causing this guilt? Why am I feeling this way?"

Roger closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and cleared the thoughts from his mind.

Then all attention was focused on Mitt.

"Damn it, that voice again! Why do you feel guilty?!"

Bucky and Shanks fell silent instantly, watching their captain open and close his eyes, cursing and muttering under his breath.

"Shanks, should we contact Bazel? He definitely knows more information."

Shanks looked conflicted, then sighed and shook his head: "Let's wait and see, Bucky. If Captain Roger wanted to contact Bazel, he would have done so already."

Bucky didn't understand why they had to wait. If he didn't understand, he should just ask someone who did.

But Shanks is indeed a bit smarter than him, so listening to him at this point wouldn't be a big mistake.

"Damn it!!"

boom--!

Roger slammed his fist into the robot, panting heavily, his eyes red-rimmed.

After all this time, he had only heard two voices from the robot in front of him.

One is guilt, the other is an apology.

He only knew that this robot had attacked the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, but he didn't know why.

Moreover, he had heard this information from Bazeir.

Two hundred years have passed.

The giant robot's voice was completely replaced by guilt and apology.

But, "This robot is alive!"

"It has its own consciousness, and that alone proves that it possessed life, or at least once possessed it."

Forcing himself to calm down, Roger took out a Den Den Mushi.

The time has come for me to fulfill my promise.

Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~

Snap—

"Hey! Hanafza, you bastard, you're not allowed to come to Takamagahara again!!"

"If you're broke, go make some money. Those merfolk have come to me saying you owe a billion Berries, you bastard!"

"----Wait a moment."

"Did you hear me? Get out of here right now! I'll count to three!"

The sound of banging and playing came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Several minutes later, Bazel's cheerful voice finally rang out.

"Whoever it was, I'm so sorry, you had to see this embarrassing situation."

"It's me, Bazel."

Roger looked at the Den Den Mushi with a slightly strange expression. "You guys went to Ryugu Castle again?"

"No, it's at our secret base."

After dealing with the first question, Bazel didn't wait for Roger to speak and directly voiced his doubts.

"The fact that you're contacting me at this point means you've found the island, right?"

"You really can hide anything from me."

Roger smiled wryly and said, "If you were my first mate, we might have found that most mysterious island by now."

"As agreed before, the Roger Pirates will help you attract some of the World Government's attention. Tell me, what do you want us to do?"

The Den Den Mushi smiled knowingly: "You don't need to do anything. The Five Elders will receive the message when you set foot on that island."

"At this point, their attention will be diverted from the world's most vicious pirate and shifted to the world's second most vicious pirate."

"That is, Roger, who bears the name D."

"And because of your name D, they might pay far more attention to you than to me."

The Name of D —

Roger narrowed his eyes slightly: "What have you found out now? Why are you so certain that the name 'D' will attract the attention of those monsters?"

"Also, what exactly is the deal with the ancient robots hidden on Egherd Island?"

"I can only answer one question for you, and that question will have to be answered in exchange for your favor, Roger."

The Den Den Mushi raised its tentacles and made a "1" gesture.

"Exchanging a favor for an answer of equal value is still the freest form of exchange."

Captain Roger!!

Shanks and Bucky rushed to their captain, gesturing wildly to try and persuade him to refuse.

This time, Roger did not agree easily.

The last transaction put the entire Roger Pirates on the World Government's list of key targets.

If I were to owe another favor—

But the answer—

Roger felt like a kitten was scratching at his heart, and his suppressed curiosity was beginning to surface.

"Tsk, are you a devil?"

The Den Den Mushi chuckled softly.

"I am an angel, Roger."

"I didn't force you to make a deal with me. Besides, is there anyone in this world who can force you, Roger?"

The kind words "it's free" came from Bazeir's mouth.

"The choice and initiative are in your hands. Even if we don't trade, it's okay, neither of us will suffer any losses."

Roger sighed.

He now has a strange feeling of being led by the nose.

Bazeir had him completely under his control, a feeling that made him extremely uncomfortable.

"This is the last time, absolutely the last time!"

"Captain Roger!!" Shanks and Bucky shouted anxiously.

"Trust me, Shanks, Bucky!"

At that moment, Roger resembled a gambler holding onto his last ten thousand yuan chip at a gambling table.

With red eyes, he placed his bet.

"This is absolutely the last time!!"

"Bazaar, deal! Tell me what you know about D!!"

"I, Roger, owe you a favor."

The Den Den Mushi's lips curled up, and its tentacles pulled an auction hammer from its shell.

bang~

"Deal made! I hope this transaction will satisfy you, boss!"

"Roger, I've found some history related to eight hundred years ago."

Bazel lowered his voice, as if it were a devil's tempting whisper.

Eight hundred years ago!?

Roger looked horrified.

He thought to himself that this deal was definitely worth every penny!

"Eight hundred years ago, there was an ideal country on the sea. The creator of this country was a man named Joy Boy."

"He advocated for equality among all races, an idea that caused a huge uproar at sea at the time —"

goo~

Roger and his two companions, who had huddled together to listen, swallowed hard, not daring to make a sound.

"In that era, Joy Boy's ideals brought smiles to everyone except the nobility."

"Because of that smile, many enthusiastic fans spontaneously formed a race at the time."

"That is the so-called D race, a D race that all races can join."

"Everyone dreams of living together in that beautiful, dreamy, and egalitarian utopia."

"But Roger, you know the consequences of doing this."

Roger's expression grew more serious; he guessed what Bazel wanted to say.

"Ah, I know, that Joey Boy stole the nobles' cake."

The Den Den Mushi snapped its fingers.

"That's right! He's taken a bite out of the nobles' cake!"

"So he was killed, and Utopia disappeared completely."

"The Halle Canon of Elbaf contains a passage describing the First World at that time—"

This act enraged the Earth God, who, together with the Serpent of Karmic Fire, shrouded the world in the shadow of death and darkness; they would never see each other again.

"God of the Earth—wait!"

Roger's expression changed drastically as if he had just realized something: "Bazel, could this Earth God be—"

"Shh, keep your voice down, Roger. This is a secret of the world, information I'm giving you as a bonus."

The Den Den Mushi's smile became more playful.

"The Serpent of Inferno, do you know Roger Harald? He liked to call the Red Line the Serpent of Blood."

"It seems that each era has a different name for the Red Line: the Serpent of Karmic Fire, the Serpent of Blood."

"And Roger, haven't you thought about this at all?"

Roger subconsciously asked something.

"The Red Line divides the four seas and the Grand Line like an ouroboros. You know what the ouroboros represents, right?"

"It is infinity, infinite power, infinite rule, infinite lifespan."

2

"This is what the Five Elders and their master wanted to convey."

"The red earth that divides everything is like an ouroboros with its mouth biting its tail; they use this terrain to declare their dominance."

"Eight hundred years ago, at the end of that victory, that person used this method to declare his status."

"This is one of the reasons why the Celestial Dragons have the title of God."

"7

"Wait, Bazel~!"

Buggy suddenly snatched the Den Den Mushi. "But wait, what does all this have to do with the D. Clan?"

"Bucky~"

Before Bazel could even extend an invitation, Buggy glared and said, "Give up! I will never join the Beasts Pirates!"

"Alright, alright, you've even learned to foresee the future. Your talent is truly terrifying."

"Roger, now that we've come this far, you should know what I'm going to say, right?"

Roger took the Den Den Mushi and slowly stood up. The shadow hanging over his forehead obscured most of his face, and his expression was ashen.

"I understand, I really owe you a huge favor this time."

"D is an enemy of God, right?"
