Pirates: Who said I am Roger?

All that Roger did was for his goal, or ideal. No matter how hateful he was in the eyes of the world, Roger knew very well what he needed to do.

In Sal's memory, Roger and Luju got along like a big boy, and he was so happy during that time.

When they parted, if Luju had used herself and Ace as an excuse, it would have been possible for Roger to stay and let him spend the last happy time. But she didn't do that, just gently supported all his decisions.

And how similar is Whitebeard now to Roger back then? His body was originally tortured by illness. In this war, he suffered injuries beyond his limit again. The combination of the two has put his body on the verge of collapse.

Even if he can return to his family after the war and be kept alive by the ship's doctor, Whitebeard will not live for a few months. In the last days, he may even lie in bed waiting to die.

A sea overlord, a pirate who has roamed the sea for decades, he doesn't want to wait for death quietly in bed.

Besides, if the children rush to rescue him again, there will inevitably be heavy casualties. Sacrificing many children for himself is a decision that Whitebeard will never make.

Thrall understood what Whitebeard meant, but his children might not understand, especially those who were young and hot-tempered and easily emotional.

Ace, who was pinned to the ground, kept struggling and even roared.

"Let me go, let me go, Roger, you don't know how important Dad is to me."

Sal didn't move. In the original book, Ace died because he was too emotional.

When Ace's voice was crying, Sal held his shoulders and lifted him up. Two pairs of very similar eyes stared at each other, and Sal could see the snot flowing from Ace's tears.

Sal said heavily

"Portcas·D·Ace, I don't care how important Whitebeard is to you, and I don't want to care about your feelings. I only know that your recklessness will waste Whitebeard's heart and make him die in vain. The power of choice on the sea is power, and you are not qualified to choose now."

Saar threw Ace directly into Marco's arms.

"Marco, you should know what Whitebeard means. So, you want to be a rebellious kid too? And take this reckless guy with you."

"......"

Marco closed his eyes in pain, and did not loosen his grip on Ace even when he was hesitant. When he finally opened his eyes, there was only determination in his eyes.

"Whitebeard Pirates, obey Daddy's orders, let's leave......"

Following Marco's order, many pirates looked sad, but they still followed their father's last order and quickly walked towards the pirate ship. They couldn't let their father down.

This is the story of Roger's surrender, which was told by Whitebeard and was broadcast live by Buggy and his group who began to retreat. Many ordinary people in front of the screen who did not know the truth once again had emotions. This should be the last experience of slipping through the net in the war at the top.

At the same time, Sal looked at the remaining 20 or so Pacifists. Each of their beams could cause a lot of damage to the pirates who were determined to escape.

So Sal asked Rayleigh for help.

"Rayleigh, please go and clean up those steel scraps."

Rayleigh drew his sword and turned decisively, leaving only a sentence that warmed Sal's heart.

"Roger, don't force yourself, just be careful anyway"

"Don't worry, old man, I'm not going to die."......

As the Whitebeard Pirates left, Sengoku's face suddenly turned ugly. He wanted to keep most of the other pirates after dealing with Whitebeard.

"All long-range weapons should be opened fire. The pirates must not be allowed to leave easily."

All the navy who were still able to fight did not even have time to rescue the wounded who were lying on the ground, and they directly opened fire on the opposing pirates.

Up to now, the pirates took the wounded away for treatment when they retreated, but the navy still did not launch a large-scale rescue operation, and watched the seriously injured navy on the ground die in vain.

Sengoku, who was commanding, suddenly found Garp walking towards him in tattered clothes. This navy hero was too slow.

"Cap, you're too late."

"Zhan Guo, I was injured by Roger and need to rest for a while. There are also wounded people on the ground who need to be treated quickly."

"......"

Garp's ghost Sengoku didn't believe a word, but he hesitated for a moment and accepted the suggestion about the rescue. Although this was the last chance to chase the pirates, if he seized it, he might expand the victory, but the wounded on the ground would also die because of this.

Sengoku didn't make such a cold-blooded decision in the end. Unless it came from the upper level, he would keep his bottom line.

Garp was now losing interest in the battle. Whitebeard was close to death, and he also lost the idea of chasing the pirates.

Garp sat down cross-legged and looked at Ace and Luffy who were leaving. Then he focused his eyes on Whitebeard who was stepping into death step by step. Kizaru and Aokiji participated in causing fatal injuries to Whitebeard.

But even with so many fatal injuries, Whitebeard's body seemed to be unaffected, and he still waved Kusugawa Kirei to stop the navy who wanted to chase him. The waving Kusugawa Kirei suddenly broke away from his palm, and Whitebeard clenched his hands into fists, condensed a vibration halo and pounded it on the ground. The shock wave of vibration quickly spread around, blowing away the navy who wanted to approach again, and even some unlucky people were blown into the cracks.

The shock wave splashed up a very thick dust, and Whitebeard's voice rang out from the dust again. Although the voice was still loud this time, it no longer had the usual heroic feeling.

"Roger......After I die, the places I have protected will inevitably be affected. Most of them are just ordinary people who want to live a normal life. I ask you to continue to protect them on my behalf after I die. Roger......Please."

The unexpected request made Sal stunned for a moment.

At the same time, his eyes instantly became solemn. This was no joke. If he agreed to the request, it would not be a simple matter. It would inevitably require a conflict with other forces eyeing the territory. This is a temptation, but also a responsibility or a burden.

If these territories are really protected, it will be much easier to gain experience later.

As for why Whitebeard did not hand over the responsibility to Marco and Ace, it was because they did not have the ability to take on this task yet.

Sal did not answer immediately, but continued to watch Whitebeard's fighting back after the smoke and dust dissipated. Until his death, in addition to his own children, he was also worried about the future of ordinary people.

Newgate, you are really not suitable to be a pirate.

The purpose of your going to sea has been to find your family from beginning to end.

Compared with other pirates, you are too special.

As for After the war, whether the future world pattern will be as peaceful as described by the World Government is a matter of opinion.

With the death of Whitebeard, the New World will once again enter an era of chaos.

In addition to the Four Emperors, there are also countless hyenas who hope to get a piece of the pie.

By then, the many countries protected by Whitebeard will only encounter unprecedented waves.

The pirates who can become the Four Emperors are no longer simple pirates. Each of them has their own huge territory and ruling system. They can be said to be the masters of a country.

Like Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, the Four Emperors who are sucking blood from many countries, they may have economic transactions with the World Government.

From the future seen in the original work, the New World and the former territory of Whitebeard will only become more chaotic in the future, and the Navy will have no way to deal with it.

Sal thought for a moment, and finally gave an answer that satisfied Whitebeard.

"I will protect them to the best of my ability, and no amount of assurances will do me any good."
