One Piece: I only realized murder was illegal after leaving the Holy Land.

Everyone was asking for this and that, and soon they had divided up all the items on the ship and packed them into their own luggage.

Finally, everyone sat on the deck in silence.

Roger reached out and touched the deck of the Oro Jackson, his eyes filled with reluctance. "We can all leave, but what about this old buddy?"

The Oro Jackson was a three-masted sailing ship built by Roger and his crew in Water Seven by Master Tom, a top shipwright, before Vikingham boarded the ship.

It carried the dream of the Roger Pirates, leading them to brave the winds and waves and conquer this sea!

Everyone has washed its deck, repaired its damage, patched its sails, and cleaned the barnacles and seaweed from its hull.

Everyone has come to regard it as a silent partner, the most important member of their Roger Pirates.

Now, as the time for parting arrives, everyone can leave, but the Oro Jackson is left like an abandoned child.

Nozton wiped away his tears and said, "How about we do what Viking said and not disband? Let's just live with the Oro Jackson for the rest of our lives. Aren't pirates supposed to die on their ships, on the high seas?"

“Don’t talk nonsense. As you all know, I’m very interested in coating. I plan to become a coating craftsman in the Sabaody Archipelago. Or should I take the Oro Jackson with me?” Rayleigh said after a moment of silence.

“There are too many criminals on Sabaody Archipelago, and there’s constant fighting. Plus, it’s too close to Marine Headquarters and Mary Geoise, and Celestial Dragons often appear there. It’s not a stable environment. I have a feeling that something will happen to the Oro Jackson if it rests there…” Jabba hesitated for a moment before speaking.

As they talked, everyone's eyes turned to Vikingum.

“Hey, Viking, since you’re going to continue being a pirate anyway, why not sign on your old buddies too?” Roger said directly.

“Our old buddy is already the symbol of our Roger Pirates. It’s not appropriate to use it as our flagship when I’m forming a new pirate crew…” Vikingum shook his head at first, but then grinned and said, “However, if it’s inconvenient for any of you, then leave it to me. I’ll leave it in Wano Country and find a group of people to take good care of it every day. There won’t be any problems. If there’s a chance in the future, we can all get together and reminisce about the present together on the ship!”

With Viking Gom taking over, placing the Oro Jackson in Wano Country, a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, was considered very suitable by everyone.

Moreover, maintaining a boat is a very expensive business. Many people may have the money to buy a boat, but they may not have the money to maintain it!

But Lord Viking certainly didn't care about such small sums of money. In terms of economic conditions, he was definitely the member of Roger's crew who could provide the best conditions for his old friend, the Oro Jackson.

So after Vikingham spoke up, everyone expressed their support!

At this point, the Roger Pirates' luggage had been divided, and all arrangements had been made.

After looking around at everyone, Roger raised the bottle in his hand and said, "So, the final captain's order..."

As Roger spoke, everyone raised their glasses and bottles, looking at the pirate captain who was usually unreliable but was actually well-regarded by everyone!

"I hereby declare the Roger Pirates disbanded! Brothers, live well from now on!!!" Roger roared, then added, "Cheers!!!"

"cheers!!!"

No one left the Oro Jackson on that day.

Everyone got completely drunk on this old fellow.

On this day, everyone refrained from drinking Vikingham's expensive wines, a practice that had been absent for a long time.

Instead, they specifically went to Beehive Island and spent money to buy a lot of cheap rum, which is a favorite of pirates.

At the same time, there was also the fine wine from Binks.

They sang, danced, cried, shouted, and laughed as they came to the end of the most important journey of their lives.

The Roger Pirates, who conquered the seas and donned the crown, are officially disbanded today!

Chapter 180 If I never see you again, then I wish you good morning, good afternoon, and good night.

The midday sun was shining brightly.

As Wang Zhi said, Beehive Island is a summer island with a pleasant climate, and you won't feel uncomfortable even if you sleep on the deck all night.

Vikingham emerged from the cabin, clearly having just finished washing up.

He walked a few steps to the mast, kicked Roger who was leaning against it asleep, and said, "Hey, stop pretending to be asleep. Everyone who was supposed to leave has already left."

After being kicked twice by Viking Gum, Roger, who had been fast asleep, sat up abruptly. Looking at the deck, which had been a complete mess the night before but was now spotless, he asked with a complicated expression, "Are they all gone?"

“Yeah, Jabba was the first one to leave. It wasn’t even dawn yet, and he was already packing his bags, yelling that he was going to Elbaf to live a good life,” Vikingham said with a laugh.

Then came Rayleigh and Shakky. Before dawn, they had already packed up the deck and quietly left.

Next, it was Eye Dragon, then Norzton, then Donchino, then Bulmaline...

Although everyone was very reluctant to leave, they eventually got off the ship.

Now, only Vikingham, Barrett, Spencer, Dorringer, Sambell, Shanks, Bucky, and... Roger, who's pretending to be asleep, remain on the ship.

"Are you leaving too?" Roger scratched his head and asked, looking at Vikingum and the others on deck.

"All good things must come to an end..." Vikingham lit a cigarette, exhaled a puff of smoke, and smiled, saying, "Although it's hard to say goodbye, we've decided to embark on a new journey today, old captain."

"Old Captain?" Roger paused for a moment, then looked at Spencer and the others.

Spencer, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, chuckled and said, "Yes, old captain, you should disembark. There's no room for you on the Oro Jackson."

“I should say, in this new era, there isn’t a ship that can carry me!” Roger stood up, stretched, and said, “Don’t you agree, Captain Viking?”

“That’s not right.” Vikingum looked at Roger with a very serious expression and said, “In this era, there will always be a ship that can carry you, Roger.”

"Whenever you feel that life as a country rich man is meaningless, come find us anytime, old captain!" Dorring laughed heartily.

"Anytime!" Shanks shouted, swinging through the air as he gripped the cable.

Bajit, standing atop the figurehead, echoed, "Anywhere!"

“But I have something to think about!” Sambel added.

“We welcome you back to this sea at any time, the great and legendary Captain Gol D. Roger!” Vikingham said with a grin.

"Hahahaha..." Roger burst into laughter as he watched this scene.

As I laughed, tears welled up in my eyes.

He raised his hand to wipe away his tears, then patted Viking's shoulder and said, "Go and conquer the world, Viking. If this world must have a king, then I think it must be you!"

“Isn’t that obvious? I came to this sea to become emperor!” Vikingham laughed heartily, showing no humility whatsoever.

"The title of King of the World will belong to the young master sooner or later!" Barrett said without hesitation.

"Just watch, Captain Roger, we will definitely write a legend no less than that of the Roger Pirates!" Shanks shouted excitedly.

"Have you managed to shed your apprenticeship status here with the Vikings?" Roger teased Shanks.

Then Shanks said with a bitter face, "No, I thought I would join as a veteran, but it turns out that Brother Viking still wants me and Buggy to be apprentice crew members!"

"You two are only seven years old, and you want to be official crew members on my ship? Isn't that a bit too naive?" Vikingham said disdainfully.

Roger slammed his straw hat onto Shanks' head and said, "Alright, don't be discouraged. You and Bucky will become big names on this sea sooner or later. You know, I have a good eye for people... Didn't you like this straw hat of mine? Here, it's yours..."

"Captain!!!" Bucky and Shanks couldn't hold back anymore and both hugged Roger's legs and cried.

Slightly annoyed that the two little ones were wiping their snot on his legs, Roger quickly shook them off, then picked up his bag and looked at Vikingum, saying, "Speaking of which, I'm going to wait here for Newgate to have a drink. Do you want to come along?"

“No, I don’t think so.” Vikingham shook his head and looked at the sea. “Although my bounty is high, well… when I’m truly qualified to drink from this bowl of wine in the future, I will go and find him.”

"Are you looking down on our gathering of two middle-aged men?" Roger said, pursing his lips.

With Vikingham's current strength, even if he can't beat Whitebeard, he's still qualified to drink with him.

"You know that much, now get off the ship," Vikingham said, feigning disdain.

"You're really eager to rush into a new era, aren't you..." Roger asked without turning his head as he walked towards the ship's stairs, "Speaking of which, have you decided on a name for your new pirate crew? And a flag or something? Do you need this old-timer to give you some pointers?"

“There’s no need for that. I can’t accept your taste in art at all!” Vikingham said, watching Roger’s retreating figure.

“Although I haven’t decided yet, you don’t need to worry about it for now, old captain,” Spencer teased, watching Roger’s retreating figure.

Roger didn't turn around, but instead shouted, "What a bunch of heartless bastards, you lot!"

But as soon as he stepped onto the port's ground, Vikingham suddenly called out, "Hey, Gol D. Roger!"

Roger turned back this time. He had looked back at the Oro Jackson from this angle countless times, but never before had he felt so reluctant to part with it.

The sunlight shone directly from behind Vikingham, making him and the Oro Jackson appear exceptionally dazzling, so much so that Roger's eyes became somewhat blurry.

"What is it? Jaigolusia Vikingum!?" Roger called out Vikingum's full name after a long time.

A card was flung from Vikingham's hand, tracing a perfect arc in the air before flying towards Roger's location.

Roger instinctively grabbed the card and, upon closer inspection, realized it was a bank card issued by the World Bank!

"Six hundred and forty-seven billion seven hundred and eight million two hundred and seventy-two thousand three hundred and forty-two Berries!" Vikingham grinned. "Am I remembering correctly?"

"Huh?" Roger's expression suddenly brightened. "You mean?"

“You call me Master, how could I bear to see you destitute and destitute, leaving behind my protection?” Vikingham said with a smile.

Although Roger currently has approximately 2.5 billion Berries, in the eyes of the Viking Lords, what is that if not destitute? He can't even afford the leather boots he's wearing!

"Hahaha, sir, you're so generous! May you be blessed, sir!" Roger held up the bank card in his hand, as happy as a forty-something-year-old baby.

“Although the money isn’t less, this card can only withdraw a maximum of five billion Berries per year. Mr. Rayleigh specifically instructed me to do this, so that you don’t lose all the money in just a few days, you bastard!” Vikingum reminded him again.

“Nonsense! I’m a gambling freak!” Roger retorted angrily.

However, no one on the ship spoke; instead, they stood silently by the deck, watching Roger below.

Roger's anger gradually faded, finally replaced by a calm smile as he said, "If I never see you again, then I wish you good morning, good afternoon, and good night..."

Vikingham paused for a moment, then remembered that this was part of a story he had told everyone when he was bored on the ship.

That's how it is on a ship; when there's nothing to do, everyone gets together to brag and tell stories.

But if I remember correctly, this was the first story he told when he first boarded the ship, right?

Surprisingly, Roger has remembered it all this time and hasn't forgotten it.

“We’ll meet again, Captain,” Vikingham whispered.

This time, Roger turned and left without saying anything more.

And after everyone could no longer see his back, the Oro Jackson slowly sailed away from Beehive Island.

"Brother Viking, why don't you think Captain Roger wanted to join us and fulfill Joy Boy's dying wish to defeat Im?" Shanks asked, standing on the deck, somewhat reluctantly.

"Fulfill Joy Boy's last wish? Do you believe that if Joy Boy were still alive, Roger would want to kill him even more than Im? Don't forget how he lost over 60 billion." Vikingam laughed loudly.

If there are two people in the world who hate Joy Boy the most, it would definitely be Im and Roger.

With Shanks' question, an era has come to an end, an era that undoubtedly belonged to Roger.

And a brand new era was heralding its arrival, prompting countless people to set sail, and countless others to emulate Rocks and Roger, to crown this era with their names.

Jaigolusia Vikingham was one of them.

Chapter 181 The Viking Pirates are formed! First mate Spencer, the scapegoat?

It seems that everyone's attention on the high seas was drawn to Ravdru and the more than 60 billion in cash.

The Roger Pirates' crew went their separate ways without causing much of a stir.

However, more than a month later, the news that the Whitebeard Pirates had arrived at Beehive Island and met with the Pirate King Roger still caused a small sensation.

Many people suspect that Whitebeard might have cheated.

Since everyone else couldn't find the final island, he went directly to ask for the answer, right?

Although Whitebeard did not do so, he also disdained to explain it.

New World, Corelius Island.

At the port, the Oro Jackson slowly docked.

This was not Vikingham and his crew's destination, but merely a stop along the way to replenish the ship's supplies.

As he descended the ship's stairs, Vikingham, a notebook in hand, scribbled and drew as he spoke, "It's been over a month, and you still can't figure out a flag? I think you guys have absolutely no artistic talent. Bucky, aren't you in charge of explosions? How come you don't have any explosive art?"

"Yes, yes, big brother, take a look at this!" Bucky caught up from behind, holding a blueprint in his hand. "Isn't this pretty good?"

Vikingham closed his own scribbled sketch, took Bucky's drawing, glanced at it, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Not bad, at least you drew it quite well."

To be fair, those who set up explosions all have a bit of an artistic side to them.

Just a moment ago I was saying Bucky was unreliable, and now this guy has pulled out a pretty good flag.

"Take a look?" Vikingham casually handed the blueprint to Spencer, who was lighting a cigarette nearby.

Spencer put away his lighter, took the blueprints, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said with satisfaction, "Very good. Bucky's drawing skills are the best on our ship..."

Upon hearing this, Buggy happily said, "Then let's use this as our pirate flag?"
