The Pirates' Legend Begins on Roger's Ship

The two of them were in a state of panic, and the two were in a state of panic.

"How do you know..." Rayleigh was a little surprised, and he couldn't accept the fact that Roger was suffering from a terminal illness.

"What kind of disease can make people like you look so uncomfortable and cough up blood? There is nothing else except terminal illness and cancer, right?" Arthur responded to Rayleigh.

"Hey, you help us, did you accept my invitation?" Rayleigh asked again, looking forward to Arthur's answer.

"I have nowhere to go..." Arthur lowered his head. Except for joining Roger's pirate group, there is no safe place for him in the world at present.

"Great!" Rayleigh stood up excitedly after hearing this. As the vice captain, he was naturally very happy that the pirate group had another fierce general.

Arthur stared at him calmly and warned: "Don't be happy too soon. The navy has my life card. My boarding means your whereabouts are exposed all the time."

"Hahaha, you don't have to worry about this. The navy will hardly come to trouble us."

"Why?" Arthur didn't understand Rayleigh's words.

"Because we are different from other pirates. We don't plunder and almost don't cause panic."

Rayleigh told Arthur:

"They just use newspaper opinions to damage the image of our pirate group. The others are the existence of the level of Garp and Sengoku to trouble us."

"Unless there is an ignorant navy attacking us, we will retaliate."

...

That night, the news that Arthur joined the Roger Pirates spread on the Orjeksson.

Everyone knew that he accepted the invitation, and a 15-year-old with the level of swordsmanship and mastering the high-level armed color of Ryusakura was added to the ship.

Douglas Barrett, who joined Roger's pirate group as a challenger, was also known to everyone.

A welcome banquet began on the Ol Jaxson.

Barrett took off his military uniform and wore a white vest. He ate meat at the banquet but did not drink.

Arthur, dressed in tattered clothes, sat alone on the side railing of the ship. He remained alert in the cheerful atmosphere and could not let go of the shadow of being shot by civilians a year ago.

After observing, there were about six combat crew members fighting with swords at the banquet, not including Roger and Rayleigh, a total of eight.

"No dumplings..." He picked up a piece of meat that was several times larger than his face and ate it.

This unintentional remark attracted the attention of the cook, who immediately asked a fishman to bring him a plate several meters long and full of dumplings.

"Here you are, Arthur, right? Come and integrate into this big family, don't be so withdrawn."

The person who handed Arthur a plate of dumplings was a blue-skinned fishman.

Looking at the plate that was bigger than his body, Arthur reached out and took it in his hand without responding to it.

He couldn't trust anyone, nor was he healed by this cheerful atmosphere.

"Cooper!" (Keep drinking, come, I toast you for Arthur!) Cooper's bold participation brought this banquet to an unprecedented climax.

It is rare for an eagle to clink glasses with humans in such a humane way.

"Captain, you have health problems during the day, don't drink so much!"

"Fool, how can a pirate not drink?!" Roger toasted with everyone, drank the wine in the glass, and took Barrett to the stern alone.

...

At the stern, Roger, a little tipsy, faced Barrett and said, "Go ahead, Barrett, don't you want to challenge me again? I'll give you this chance now."

Barrett was shocked by this sudden surprise, and the corner of his mouth quickly raised and said, "Haha, don't blame me if your ship is destroyed, Roger!"

He didn't hesitate, and rushed to Roger with clenched fists.

However, Roger only wrapped his domineering aura and punched Barrett's mouth corner, and instantly defeated Barrett and fell on the stern guardrail.

"Damn, so strong!" Barrett was disdainful, wiped the corner of his mouth, and recognized Roger's strength very much.

"Barrett, I won't disagree with you because you are a sinner who destroyed a country. As long as you join this pirate group, you are part of this family!"

Roger said to Barrett with a serious face, wanting to tell him that this world is not full of hostility everywhere.

"Huh?" Barrett was stunned for a moment. He only knew how to fight and didn't understand what Roger meant.

"You want to take me as your target, surpass me and challenge me

As for me, you are always welcome, Barrett. "

He felt that Barrett was different from a rational teenager like Arthur. Barrett was a completely out-of-control monster, once no one could suppress him.

Barrett was a monster that could only wreak havoc. He needed to be given hope and a goal to pursue.

"Haha, the moment I surpass you is the moment I become the strongest in the world, Roger!" Barrett was conquered by Roger's strength: "Don't make it easy for me!"

"Come anytime!" Roger turned and smiled at him with acceptance, regardless of the various conflicts between Barrett and him in the past year.

Leaving the stern, Roger returned to the banquet and looked at Arthur again: "Arthur, come with me."

Arthur put down the plate in his hand, jumped onto the deck and followed Roger into the captain's room.

"You are now a completely different person from before in the Sphinx Sea, Arthur." Roger sat on the chair in the captain's room and started a conversation with Arthur.

"What do you mean? ”

“All of them. You looked like a young boy who had never experienced much in the world before, but now you give me the feeling of a young man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life. What have you experienced this year to make you look like this now?”

Roger planned to enlighten Arthur and let him happily integrate into this big family.

“I survived being hunted by various CP spies and the navy.” Arthur simply answered Roger. Even if Roger himself was in front of him, he didn’t feel much expectation now.

All his beautiful fantasies about this world were shattered at the moment when he was backstabbed by civilians.

“You know, after entering the new world, everyone will fight with various powerful beings. You can’t be so lonely, Arthur.”

“I know what I want to do, Roger. I just can’t relax after experiencing certain things.”

“That’s good. You are also a swordsman, right?” Roger found that Arthur in front of him seemed to be more rational and sober than he thought.

No need to enlighten at all.

“I guess so. "Arthur responded to Roger.

"If you need to discuss swordsmanship, you can ask Rayleigh and me. This time we re-entered the Grand Line from the East China Sea with great determination."

"I understand."

Since he accepted guys like Arthur and Barrett, Roger would never abandon them.

If he doesn't want such a talented navy, then let them help him complete the last voyage.
