Chapter 204 Roger's Death
Haiyuan calendar year 1500.
Donghai, Rogge Town.
The sun hung high in the sky, casting its blazing rays upon the earth, and the whole world seemed to be a furnace, scorching everything. Every ray of sunlight was hot, stinging the passersby.
The streets that should have been empty were packed with people, gathered around the tall execution platform, enduring the scorching sun.
Soon, a path was cleared in the crowd. Guarded by Warring States and Zefa, the two marines escorted Roger slowly towards the execution platform.
Garp refused the task of escorting Roger. Knowing that the relationship between him and Roger was delicate, Sengoku did not refuse.
Since Zephyr is here anyway, all Garp needs to do is take action when something unexpected happens.
The crowd fell into a brief chaos, but under the majesty of the admiral, no one spoke.
The journey was smooth and seeing that no one took action, Zhan Guo felt relieved a little.
Sitting on the execution platform, Roger's face was looking at the ground, making it impossible to see his expression.
The two Marines carrying out the execution flipped their long swords and held them in front of Roger, the blades reflecting the dazzling sunlight.
Just as the execution was about to begin, the accident happened as expected.
In the crowd below, a large, square-faced man put his hands in front of his mouth and shouted loudly.
"Hey, Pirate King, where did you put the treasure you found?"
A strong sense of uneasiness enveloped Zhan Guo's mind, but it was too late.
Roger, sitting on the execution platform, raised his head, looked at the dense crowd below, and said with a grin.
"My treasure? I'll give it all to you if you want it. Go to Signal! I've left everything there!"
The originally clear sky suddenly darkened, and thick dark clouds gathered at an extremely fast speed, covering the originally clear sky.
Hearing Roger speak, Zhan Guo shouted to the two navy men, "Go!"
The two marines raised their long swords, crossed them, and stabbed Roger's body.
boom! ! !
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a loud thunder that suddenly resounded between heaven and earth, deafening.
Bean-sized raindrops began to fall densely, and heavy rain began to fall from the originally clear sky.
The long knife pierced Roger's body. The corners of Roger's grinning mouth did not change, but his body slowly bent down.
Raindrops mixed with blood dripped down, and it seemed as if the whole world was mourning for Roger!
Pirate King Roger is dead!
The Great Pirate Era has also begun!
The originally silent crowd fell into chaos, like boiling water.
Roger's words were like a stone dropped into the water, causing a wave of the new era.
In the crowd, Doflamingo's face showed no seriousness or pain, instead he burst into laughter.
"A new era is coming!"
The rain falling on his laughing face looked so crazy!
On the other side, Bucky, who had a red nose, pressed his face with both hands, tears mixed with snot flowing down his face, he cried loudly and was still shouting.
"captain!"
Not far away, Mihawk had a serious expression as raindrops fell on his red shirt.
Looking at the man who calmly faced death, only he himself knew the excitement in his heart.
Those eagle eyes were still as sharp as ever, and he knew that his time was coming.
Next to him, Shanks, wearing a straw hat, lowered his head, his right hand tightly clenched his white shirt, and his left hand lowered the brim of his hat.
"captain……"
A voice so low that only he could hear it rang out, and Shanks' body trembled slightly.
He didn't cry like Buggy, but held back his tears and bit his lips tightly. He couldn't cry because he had to inherit the captain's will.
"One Piece?"
In the crowd, a man with a slicked-back hair spoke softly, holding a cigar.
"The great secret treasure might as well be mine."
Crocodile looked at Roger on the execution platform, his eyes full of ambition.
In addition to the excited pirates, there were also many civilians with desperate expressions.
Looking at the cheering pirates around him, young Smoker clenched his fists.
He has vowed to become a navy and arrest the evil pirates around him.
"Jiheiheihe, the Pirate King's treasure?"
A sharp laugh came from the side, and Moria, with his shallot-like hair, smiled strangely.
"The Pirate King's treasure must belong to the boss!"
"The next Pirate King will definitely be the boss!"
The younger brothers surrounding Moria started to flatter him, which made Moria very happy.
Although Zel intercepted his Shadow Fruit, this guy was lucky enough to get another devil fruit.
Human-Human Fruit-Mythical Beast-Zombie Form!
Apart from his weakness of being afraid of sunlight, it is more in line with his identity as a swordsman than the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.
"Of course, little ones, let's go to the Grand Line!"
Moriah was not the first to act, but his actions undoubtedly fueled the riot.
"One Piece puts everything on the Grand Line!"
"Whoever gets the great treasure will be the new Pirate King!"
"Go out to sea, I want to become the Pirate King!"
"........."
Excited pirates, young people pursuing their dreams, middle-aged people oppressed by life, all kinds of people rushed to the sea.
They want to go out to sea, become pirates, find the great treasure, and become the Pirate King!
"Kuzan, block the coastline!"
Watching the crowd rushing towards the sea, Zhan Guo immediately gave orders to Kuzan.
He had been on guard against Zel and the Red Earl, but he didn't expect Roger to give him the final blow.
If Roger's words were to spread, the number of pirates would surely skyrocket.
He could imagine that the great era of pirates was coming.
"Roger that!"
The passionate Kuzan also realized that something was wrong and immediately ran towards the coast.
On one side of the square, Rorschach and others looked at the chaotic crowd calmly.
"The Great Age of Pirates is coming. Do they really believe Roger has some great secret treasure? I heard from Dad that Roger can't even afford Moo Moo Milk."
Looking at the crowd around him who were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, Dekar touched his head, looking puzzled.
Cohen, who was standing next to him, heard this and began to explain.
"The Great Secret Treasure is just an excuse. In this era, people go out to sea almost every day. Since they can't survive if they stay at home, they might as well give it a try."
"Some people go to sea for dreams, some go to sea for money, and some go to sea for fame. Generally speaking, piracy is the most popular profession on the sea. Everyone has the idea of becoming a pirate. Roger just pushed them."
After Cohen finished speaking, the air fell into silence.
Although they trained very hard and experienced a lot of darkness, they had never experienced true despair and could not empathize with those who wanted to become pirates.
Just when everyone was silent, Rorschach stood up and spoke to everyone.
"Let's go and see how powerful our future opponents are."
Everyone looked at each other for a while, then followed Rorschach's steps and walked towards the beach.
The heavy rain fell on the ground, making a crisp sound, like the natural drumbeat, accompanying their battle.
This is the era of great pirates, or perhaps it is the era of Adrian!
