One Piece: Return of the Old Age

Chapter nine

"If Roger is the king in the open, then he is the emperor who deliberately hides in Roger's shadow. He was once the strongest in the world, the world's number one swordsman, and the brightest star in that era. Everyone who has fought with him will be impressed by his monstrous strength."

"Until the incident fourteen years ago, he was called the worst person in the world, the worst criminal in history, the worst pirate in history, and even made the World Government feel ashamed. At that time, Brother Kong led the two generals, Sengoku and Zephyr, and more than ten vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters, including me, Borsalino, and Sakaski, to secretly launch the Demon Killing Order and tried their best to eliminate all information about him."

"What did he do?"Momoto asked in shock. The Demon Slayer Orders of two former Navy Admirals, an Admiral, a legendary hero, and two current Admirals and Marshals were, in her impression, a force that was impossible to use. This force was enough to unbalance the entire ocean.

After a long silence, Garp said half with nostalgia and half with admiration:

"He brought the fishman Fisher Tiger with him and broke into the holy land of Marijoa, creating the great event fourteen years ago."

"Marijoa Celestial Dragon Massacre"

"Fourteen years ago? Wait, Garp." Taotu interrupted in surprise,"Wasn't that the incident fourteen years ago when Fisher Tiger climbed the Red Earth Continent with his bare hands and landed on the slave liberation incident in Mary Geoise? That incident did cause great chaos, but no one has ever heard of Roya's existence."

"Humph, it's all the scum of the Celestial Dragons and the government's tricks."Garp said with some disdain.

"Marijoa, the world's biggest borer, the residence of the Celestial Dragons, is not only inhabited by those five old men, but is also secretly protected by the strong men of the notorious spy unit CP, and there are also powerful slaves controlled by the Celestial Dragons. A fishman broke in with his bare hands and turned the world upside down. You actually really believed this statement, but it's just a superficial cover-up."

"What's the truth of the matter? Karp."Tina put her hands on the table and asked urgently

"The truth is that Roya, that madman, swung his knife at the highest power in this world and slaughtered people on Mary Geoise. Fisher Tiger's slave liberation activities were just a byproduct of this massacre."

"That madman, he slaughtered more than half of the Celestial Dragons. I don't know the real number of slaughters, I'm afraid it's more than half. Since then, the Celestial Dragons who used to bully people everywhere in the world have all retreated to the holy land of Marijoa. This incident was regarded as a shame for the World Government at that time, no, even now. It was fully blocked by the government."

"Even at that time, only a few pirates knew this secret. There is no doubt that Roja was the most dazzling star in the early days of Roger's pirate era. Even after the disbandment of Roger's pirate group, in the eyes of the bigwigs at that time, he was a more feared figure than Whitebeard."Garp said with a nostalgic tone and a slight smile on his face.

In fact, it was true. If it were not for the position of the navy and the pirates, he and Roger Roja would have become good brothers. Those two were the kind of people he recognized, and that kind of brilliant personality charm could not be covered up by the identity of a pirate.

"and after?"

"Then?" Garp clenched his fists, his eyes darkened instantly."The government launched the strongest demon-killing order so far, led by three supreme fighters and strong men from the government, secretly encircled and suppressed Roya."

"No wonder Zhan Guo was so excited. You don't know how powerful that man was. At that time, Sakaski and Borsalino, who were already substitutes for the generals, were seriously injured and dying. Almost all the strong men of the CP troops who participated in the battle were wiped out. That was more powerful than the current level of the Four Emperors."

"This largest demon-killing campaign in history lasted for ten days and ten nights, and ended with the government's victory. However, it was only a pyrrhic victory. If it weren't for the fierce competition among the Four Emperors in the New World, the Navy would have been in a very difficult situation."

"This was also the second pirate to be killed directly after Roger. The government did not even dare to choose a public execution. Under the witness of me, Sengoku, Zephyr, Big Brother Kong, and Xiaohe, the most evil pirate in history was given death."

"And, Roja's story ended here, forever sealed, until now, only those who once stood at the top know of his existence."Garp said sadly.

Just like him now, just like Whitebeard in the past, the times are moving forward after all, and no matter how strong a person is, he will lose to the times. The era that Whitebeard said could not carry his own ship, and so was he. He was just a remnant of the old era.

Roger, Shiki, Rayleigh, Whitebeard, Waldo, and even his comrade Zephyr, either died, retired, or went on other paths. One by one, old friends disappeared in the tide of the new era. How long can he, a retired vice admiral, hold on?

""Alas." Roya's story ended. The government and the navy should have been happy about their victory, but for some reason, Taotu, Chatun, Tina, Coby and other elite members of the navy felt mixed emotions at this moment. They admired him for swinging his sword at the highest power in the world and slaughtering the scum and the highest nobles in this world. They were also ashamed that the navy was intimidated by him alone. That inhuman strength seemed to be mocking their justice.

"Roya, how much of your power have your descendants inherited? It is impossible to reproduce that kind of power, but why do I feel so uneasy in my heart?"Kapu took a sip of wine and thought silently, his eyes full of worry.

There are also some things he didn't say, the last words Roya said when he witnessed Roya's death.

"What an honor! Five supreme fighters, including Sora, Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, and Crane, witnessed the death of a little pirate like me. However, I will not really die. Next time, I will come back with even greater power. Please tell the rat in the depths of the Holy Land that I will smash his throne next time."

The always cheerful and funny Garp ate in silence, and the others did not speak. They could see that Garp was still hiding something, but they did not continue to ask questions. Just what they heard today was enough to shock them.

""The worst pirate, Gol D. Roya." Tina muttered slowly. She somehow remembered what the man said in front of her. The lights of the old times seemed to connect something to her, but she couldn't figure it out. After thinking about it, she still didn't say it. After all, with the fighting power shown by that man, if Marshal Sengoku really sent out his generals to hunt him down, he would not be able to escape.

And somewhere in the sea of the New World.

Roya, who had already passed the Red Earth Continent, stood on the deck and sneezed twice.

"Is someone talking about me?" Roya rubbed his nose and said,"It's really strange that there are still people who remember me in this era, Garp? Sengoku? Or that bastard Shiki."
