I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Well... this is indeed a very powerful card, even though it only has a 1-minute time limit.

It was indeed the life-saving card he wanted, but unfortunately, it couldn't be used on himself.

"I knew there was no such thing as a free lunch."

"It seems we'll have to find other trump cards to deal with Emperor 56." Sig sighed slightly, his consciousness leaving the Star Sea and returning to reality.

Chapter 830 The Will Passed Down Through Generations

This occurred two weeks before Roger met Whitebeard.

The name of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, spread throughout the seas, and the news bird carried the news of the Pirate King's birth to all corners of the world.

The entire Grand Line was in an uproar; an unprecedented event shook the world.

The Navy launched an unusually large-scale operation, and even the pirates of the Grand Line took action, targeting Roger.

"Roger, that man, he got everything!"

"Wealth, fame, power—he left everything he had on the final island!"

"Kill Roger, and the One Piece he left behind will be ours!"

"Speaking of which... why is Gol D. Roger's treasure called ONE PIECE?"

"Who knows? The important thing is Roger's treasure!"

"Go find Roger! He has all sorts of treasures!"

Whether it's the navy, pirates, or any other force, everyone is stirred up by this man's deeds.

And at this time.

On a certain ocean in the New World, the pirate ship Oro Jackson is sailing through the waves.

"Well then, I have my announcement to make."

Roger looked at his companions, with whom he had sailed for many years.

"The Roger Pirates are hereby disbanded!"

After saying this, they held one last lavish party on the ship.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, the sounds of singing and laughter mingling with the roar of the waves, the great voyage around the world was about to come to an end.

"Laugh Tale, we've arrived too early."

Who will find the vast, interconnected treasure trove, ONE PIECE?

“Of course it will be my son!” Roger suddenly interjected.

"Where did you get a son from?" Riley asked, embarrassed.

"Just go have one, then..." Roger laughed nonchalantly.

Becoming a pirate and embarking on an adventure in the Grand Line means leaving home and peaceful days behind.

Many of them have been away from their hometowns and families for many years, and many are still unmarried, including Roger, who is now 52 years old.

"Seriously... I plan to go see Whitebeard one last time."

At this point, Roger suddenly paused:

"As for the other guy who likes to disappear and can disappear for many years, it's probably too late to see him again."

As the banquet drew to a close, the pirate ship arrived at an island.

The ship's doctor, Crocus, prepared Roger's luggage: it mainly contained a large amount of medicine, which would prolong Roger's life even after he left.

last of the last.

Roger and Rayleigh walked aside and gave Rayleigh, who had been the first to board the ship, their final words.

“Rayleigh, as you know, we’re too early.”

"So... after I leave, you should all just wait quietly."

"Perhaps one day in the future, someone we are waiting for, who has not yet been born, will surpass us and do things that we cannot do."

"In that new era, the Roger Pirates may one day reunite."

Rayleigh covered his face with his hand, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Roger noticed his wavering, but said nothing, only chuckled softly.

He slung his bag over his shoulder and casually placed the straw hat on Shanks, who was already in tears.

"Shanks, men don't need tears when they part."

"I'm entrusting this straw hat to you for safekeeping."

He seemed to have thought of something, a smile playing on his lips, and he chuckled softly:

"And I will not die."

Leaving those words behind, he walked slowly off the boat alone, gradually disappearing into the distance.

Everyone on the ship was in tears.

Only Rayleigh turned his back at that moment, not looking at Roger's departing figure.

...................

half a month later.

Under the trees where cherry blossoms flutter.

Roger and Whitebeard sat on the ground, each with a bottle of liquor beside them.

"Are you saying you're going to die, Roger?"

"Yes, I don't have much time left."

"By the way... do you know what the people from the World Government have been calling me lately?"

Roger smiled slightly:

"Goldo Roger".

"What? That's your real name?"

"No!" Roger laughed, slapping the ground as he said seriously.

"My name is Gol D. Roger!"

"Indeed." The white-bearded man poured himself another bowl of wine.

"On the high seas, you might occasionally encounter someone whose name contains the letter 'D'."

"Just like Rocks D. Giebeck back then... Speaking of which, I also have a Teach on my ship."

"Teach...you mean that brat who can't sleep?"

Roger smiled, then suddenly remembered something, took off his captain's hat, and placed it on the ground.

"Whitebeard, do me a favor."

"I've been waiting for someone to come along, but I've run out of time to wait."

"If you ever meet someone on the high seas who deserves this hat, please give it to him on my behalf."

Roger said seriously.

Whitebeard silently glanced at the captain's hat on the ground a few times.

"This hat, doesn't it look like it belonged to Rocks?"

“Not bad,” Roger said in a low voice.

"Although I received Rocks' hat, I never intended to inherit his will."

"That guy Rocks probably had the same idea as me, which is why he handed the hat to me before he died."

"The will of Lox?"

The white-bearded man lowered his eyelids and gently raised the captain's hat.

"I really wish I could live a few more decades to witness the future, but it's too late," Roger laughed loudly.

"Will someone appear in the future to inherit this hat?"

"Will that person in the future be a sea tyrant like him? Or will he be a divine enemy who dares to challenge the Celestial Dragons?"

At this point, Roger burst into a mischievous laugh:

"If you think your son who doesn't like to sleep deserves this hat, I have no objection to giving it to him."

“Teach? He doesn’t seem like that kind of ambitious guy.”

Whitebeard shook his head.

Speaking of hats, he was reminded of someone else.

"Speaking of which, wasn't this hat originally placed on Rocks by King Siegfried himself back on Scarborough Island?"

"really."

Roger nodded, his cheerful smile momentarily froze:

"That guy disappears for years at a time, I guess I'll never see him again..."

.......

At the end of Roger's pirate career.

Pirate King Gol D. Roger and his strongest rival, Whitebeard Edward Newgate, drink and chat under a cherry blossom tree.

Finally, he put down the captain's hat and left.

In the eyes of the world.
