Pirates: Invincible At The Beginning

Chapter 4 Will You Be The Ones Roger Is Waiting For?

"what!"

"Aren't you One Piece, 'Gol D. Roger', the ship's doctor?"

Twin Gorges, under the lighthouse On the open space outside the house where Crocus works and lives.

Indigo walked up to Crocus, who was sitting on the stone stool, in a flurry of puffs, and looked at him in amazement.

He didn't pay much attention when we first met, but now he's closer to look carefully.

Nor did he expect to meet an acquaintance here.

"Excuse me, are you...?"

Crocus looked at Indigo suspiciously.

"me!"

Indigo made a circle in front of Crocus, then laughed.

"Kalekal!!"

Then dance and dance for a while.

Seeing that Crocus still didn't understand, he was so anxious that he kept jumping on the spot, and finally had no choice but to speak.

"Me! Golden Lion, the ship's doctor on board the Golden Lion!"

"I saw you on Roger's ship 25 years ago at the 'Battle of Art Wall'."

"Oh...you are on the Golden Lion ship!"

Crocus looked at Indigo and said in a daze, "Why haven't I seen you? You couldn't have been hiding in the back then!"

Crocus nodded as he spoke.

"That's the only way to explain why I didn't see you at that time."

Of course not for this reason.

At that time, there were so many ships and so many people in the Golden Lion fleet, why would a ghost pay attention to a doctor!

"Uh...is that so?"

Indigo nodded, then looked at Crocus and asked, "After the Roger Pirates are disbanded, you won't be here forever!"

"I've always lived here, followed the Roger Pirates, mainly to find the Rumba Pirates for Laboon."

"Wow~"

"It turns out that when the uncle was young, he was the ship's doctor on the One Piece ship!"

At this moment, Ah Hua was wearing a chef's uniform, and A Luo and A Tao were holding two large plates of fish in one hand.

These fish were caught by Sorata when he had nothing to do when he just came out of Laboon's body.

Now that you have come to the Grand Line, how can you not enjoy the delicacy in this magical sea!

They planned to leave after lunch, so they invited Crocus to eat too.

Hua put down the plate in his hand and stared at Crocus with curiosity on his face.

"Can the old man tell us about Roger's adventures?"

"Okay, don't ask, what's the use of knowing this from the old man, we have our own adventure!"

Sorata walked over with a few bottles of wine.

Gently slapped Ah Hua on the back of the head.

"Roger's adventures, we just go and see for ourselves, don't we?"

As he spoke, he gently sat opposite Crocus, and with a "bang", he put the wine bottle on the table.

"Old man, for the sake of being so happy today, you have to drink with me!"

"Do not worry!"

Crocus glanced at Laboon floating on the shore and smiled.

Out of Laboon, he immediately told Laboon that Brook was still alive, and told him that his companion had not abandoned him.

This made Laboon very happy in the water for a while.

Then they wanted to go to the Grand Line immediately, but they were persuaded by Sorata to wait for Brook to fulfill their agreement.

I think Laboon will never hit the Red Line again!

After all, being abandoned and not being abandoned are two different situations.

With hope in my heart, it won't be so painful.

Crocus then looked at Sorata, grateful.

"Even if I give up my old life today, I will have a good drink with you."

"It's unlucky to say that old life! We are having a banquet at this time, so we are happy!"

"exactly……"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

...

After eating and drinking, Sorata leaned against the stone table, holding a toothpick in his hand, picking his teeth.

Crocus, on the other hand, stared flushedly at the busy figures on the Liberty, lost in thought.

"It's nice to be young!"

After he drank less than a bottle, he became a little groggy.

And these guys are just like normal people.

Especially this guy, who drank strong alcohol.

His gaze turned to Sorata, looking at the wine gourd hanging on Sorata's waist, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

This guy drinks the strongest alcohol, he chokes to death on a sip, and Sorata is like a drink.

"It's really old, it's incomparable."

Following Sorata's example, he leaned against the table and shook his head.

At this moment, Arlo's exclamation suddenly came from the boat.

"Ah~ why is this so!"

"What's wrong?"

Aruo ignored A Tao, he jumped off the boat quickly, walked to Sorata's side quickly, and asked loudly.

"Sorata, look what's going on! Why doesn't the compass work?"

"compass?"

Sorata stared at the compass that Arlo handed over for a moment.

How could he forget about this thing!

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

"You guys don't know anything, just come to the Grand Line?"

Sorata came back to her senses, saw Crocus speak, and he stopped talking.

He really forgot about this thing, or he asked Smoker for it in Rogge Town, how could he not know that Grand Line needs a special compass!

It should be because I was too excited in Rogge Town, and I drank a little too much that day, so I forgot in the end.

"Oh! Old man, do you know what's going on?"

Arlo looked at Crocus and asked quickly.

"Due to its special geographical location, the Grand Line has a completely different magnetic force from other places. The general compass cannot be used when it arrives here."

"General compass."

"So there is a special compass?"

"Ok!"

Crocus nodded, then took out a special compass-shaped needle covered with a transparent spherical glass cover from his pocket.

"No, this is the special 'record pointer' specially used by Grand Line to record magnetic information."

As he spoke, he handed the record pointer in his hand to Arlo.

"The record pointer is to record the magnetic force of mutual attraction between islands and islands to guide the direction of the next island. Therefore, every time you arrive at an island, it will take a few hours to several months to make the record of the compass. Fill it up so you can move on to the next island."

"Oh……"

Arlo looked at the record pointer in his hand with a curious look on his face.

Then I thought of something, raised my head and asked Crocus: "A few months, if it takes a few months to record the island, so we have to stay on this island for a few months?"

"In principle, that's right, but..."

"what?"

"But there is also a special record pointer that can directly point to a place, the 'permanent record pointer'."

"permanent."

"Well, it is permanent. The permanent record pointer can always point to a designated island. Marine uses this pointer to quickly reach any island in the Grand Line."

"Of course, such pointers are also very expensive. Generally, they can only be found on larger kingdom islands."

"Oh……"

"Okay, Arlo."

Sorata stood up and patted Arlo on the shoulder.

"Let's go! Grand Line's adventurous journey has officially begun."

He was actually a little embarrassed about forgetting to record something as important as a pointer.

"Let's go, old man, don't worry, I will definitely bring Brook the thought of Laboon."

Saying so, Sorata turned and headed straight for the Liberty.

...

Twin Gorges, Lighthouse.

Crocus stared at the distant sea for a long time.

He saw a completely different look from Sorata from other pirates.
