The Pirates' Legend Begins on Roger's Ship

The battle was over.

Roger suddenly developed an illness, which led to the termination of the duel challenge.

"Stop them, Rayleigh, we need these newcomers to help fight against Shiki..." Roger, who was crouching on the ground, said to Rayleigh.

Rayleigh stopped Arthur from killing Barrett, and felt a sticky feeling when he touched the palm of Arthur's bandage.

"This is blood..." Rayleigh was surprised by Arthur's injuries. He was fighting with injuries, causing the wound to burst, and he was still driving himself to kill his opponent.

Such tenacious vitality and determination are unprecedented.

"Haha, you deserve what happened to me. You brought two CP lackeys to assassinate me together with Douglas. I was only one step away from freedom!"

Barrett, who wanted to escape the endless war, was completely irrational when he was betrayed.

He never thought that a guy like Arthur would cause him serious injuries.

Now he still has the scars of slashing caused by Arthur a year ago.

"If it weren't for you, how could I have been offered a reward of 400 million Baileys! Don't you like fighting? Come on, let's fight to the death. Don't run if you have the guts!" Arthur was furious and couldn't extinguish his hatred for him.

At least 300 million of the 400 million Baileys reward was for the truth about the crimes of the Celestial Dragons during the trial on Judicial Island.

Now Barrett, who has been on the run for a year, only has 70 million Baileys.

"Lock them up first. It seems that they won't calm down." Rayleigh let go of Arthur and looked at the sticky blood on his hands.

Judging from the injuries on his body, Arthur had just experienced a life-and-death escape...

Arthur and Barrett were escorted to the Oljaxson by the Roger Pirates and imprisoned, hoping to calm them down for a while.

Everyone returned to the Oljaxson.

In a simple single cabin, Arthur sat alone on a clean little bed, staring at the town dock outside the porthole.

He found that Cooper had become friends with the Roger Pirates and happily assisted them in carrying supplies.

"Mr. Rayleigh, please throw him off the ship quickly, please!" Outside the cabin door, Buggy's voice begged Rayleigh: "It is said that the guy chopped off all the buildings on the Judicial Island with one knife."

"Go to the observation tower to take a walk, don't disturb me, Buggy."

"Mr. Rayleigh!"

"Go!"

The cabin door slowly opened, and Rayleigh, with short blond hair, wearing a purple top, came to the cabin where Arthur was imprisoned in person with a plate of food.

"Hey!" Bucky saw Arthur outside the door and immediately fled from the corridor to the cabin and ran to the deck.

"I should have nothing to do with you, why did you lock me up?" Arthur looked at Rayleigh carrying food to his side and put it on the bedside cabinet, which was very confusing.

"Young man, we were very impressed by you during the Sphinx Sea incident." Rayleigh sat down on the chair in the cabin where Arthur was.

"Why did you attack Red Harbor?" Rayleigh was very curious about Arthur's news reports this time.

"I accepted a commission to rescue Vegapunk, the leader of the MADS organization. Who knew that there was an old monster escorting him?" Arthur said calmly about the past.

The past was over for him, at least he was still alive.

"What about the Jaltzburg Kingdom?" Rayleigh continued to ask.

It was like checking his identity, which made Arthur very unhappy. Now he doesn't trust anyone, and he is extremely vigilant against everyone except Cooper.

However, he still told Rayleigh: "To put it simply, I wanted to resign, but the Navy wouldn't let me. Zhan Guo used a trick to make me stay, but I refused."

"Then he was publicly executed?" Rayleigh was shocked when he analyzed this passage.

"I had two choices at the time, either to serve the Navy for the rest of my life, or to be killed. I chose to resist." Arthur still can't forget Zhan Guo's face.

He personally blocked his way out, and then gave him a chance to live in the name of justice, and wanted to serve the Navy himself...

He couldn't accept it.

"Well, Zhan Guo would do this. After all, you are gifted. Who wants to resign from the Navy is unwilling to give up?" Rayleigh briefly understood Arthur's experience and felt sympathy for it.

"By the way, why did you lock me up!" Arthur asked Rayleigh seriously.

Rayleigh explained: "To be honest, we also need strong combat power. At present, we only have your eyes on you and Barrett."

"Huh? I

? "Arthur was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Rayleigh said.

"Let me tell you this, Arthur." Rayleigh didn't intend to hide it from Arthur, and planned to tell him sincerely the purpose of Roger's pirate group: "Our group has been to the final island recorded on the map."

"But when we arrived at that island, Roger discovered that there was another island hidden in this world, and to reach that island, we need to collect four red historical text signposts."

"Now we are trying our best to find the signposts, but we have encountered obstacles."

Arthur listened to Rayleigh's words with a cold face. As a time traveler, he naturally knew that Roger wanted to go to Raftel.

Exploring historical texts and red signposts is illegal in the navy, and once discovered, they will be sentenced to death.

According to his memory and recent experiences, he analyzed that the most likely obstacle for Roger's pirate group is Golden Lion Shiki, who is looking for the whereabouts of ancient weapons.

"I learned from the navy that Golden Lion Shiki is also collecting historical texts. Your obstacle won't be him, right? "Arthur finished his analysis and asked Rayleigh.

"That's right, that bastard was so powerful in the second half of the Grand Line that even we couldn't resist him." Rayleigh made his purpose clear to Arthur: "Now Roger has health problems again, I'm worried..."

Rayleigh suddenly interrupted his worries and asked Arthur directly: "Arthur, if you have nowhere to go now, you can stay in Roger's Pirates."

"Me?" Arthur was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to recruit him.

"Most of the people on this ship are those who pursue freedom, adventure and life. If you don't want to, we will never force you."

Don't want to? Of course Arthur is willing to join. Now he is like a beast without a home.

Joining this pirate group, at least there is an absolute shelter, and he can make many friends in the future.

Let him no longer suffer from the fear of loneliness and the risk of assassination.

"Go to Gemini Cape, there is a guard there who can prolong Gol D. Roger's life. He should have an incurable terminal illness. "Arthur roughly analyzed. He knew Roger would be infected with a terminal illness.

But he didn't know the time. He could only conclude that it was the terminal illness that caused such a powerful person to suddenly reveal a flaw in front of everyone.

It happened to be the year 1492 in the Haiyuan calendar, which was also the year Roger was infected with a terminal illness.
