Chapter 19
Chapter 19 Crocus: Roger, you cheated! ! !
The countdown to the public execution of Fire Fist Ace, captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates – 6 days and 22 hours.
The time is five o’clock in the afternoon.
The sun is gradually setting in the west.
Fiery red clouds filled the sky.
Even the sea is gorgeous.
two hours ago.
Roger, the pirate king who had crossed over twenty-two years ago, stole a ship.
Ride the wind dashingly to the sea to rescue his son.
However, it didn’t take long for him to be handsome.
Roger suddenly found himself in the wrong direction.
Tossed back and forth for two hours.
Only then did I finally find the entrance to Upside Down Mountain.
“Yahahahie, I’m really old too!”
One Piece Roger touched the back of his head and laughed at himself.
Immediately, his sight fell to the thick cumulonimbus cloud ahead.
Fall on that special upside-down mountain-climbing ocean current.
Finally, it seemed to penetrate the thick Red Line and saw the Twin Points on the other side.
One Piece Roger’s old face couldn’t help but reminisce.
East Blue’s Upside-Down Mountains and Twin Points hold many of his memories.
More than fifty years ago, he walked with Rayleigh once.
Nearly thirty years ago, he suffered from an incurable disease.
To find a doctor who can suppress the condition.
They walked again.
Later, Oden boarded the ship.
In order to explore the final island.
He and all his buddies are ready to go.
Ride the Oro Jackson together, and take this road.
And now for the fourth time.
“Let’s go!!!”
One Piece Roger put away his memories and steered the boat straight ahead.
Whoa!
The pouring rain poured down without warning.
The sea swelled violently, waves after wave after wave.
If the fledgling Roger, it must not be able to deal with this situation.
But now he is also the One Piece who conquered the Grand Line.
Even the wind and waves of New World are coming.
This wind and rain is naturally nothing.
Soon.
Two towering crimson continental walls appeared in Roger’s sight.
And between the Red Line, a canal rushes upstream under the traction of a special magnetic force.
The climbing canal of the upside-down mountain is a spectacle that will be breathtaking no matter how many times you watch it!
“Let’s go~”
Roger whispered and controlled the boat to enter the middle of the canal impartially.
Climbing to the top of the mountain against the wind and rain.
Look at the Twin Points that are getting closer.
The curvature of the corners of Roger’s mouth continued to widen.
A look of anticipation appeared on the old face unconsciously.
Because he knows.
If nothing else.
He will soon be able to meet his former partner.
for him.
The disbandment of the pirate group and the separation from the partners were only a little over a year.
But for the people of this age.
They hadn’t seen each other for over twenty years.
more importantly.
This is a meeting with death that spans the ages.
“I wonder what kind of expression Crocus will have when he sees me?”
“Ahahahaha, I’m really looking forward to it!”
Roger laughed expectantly.
finally.
Driven by mountain climbing currents.
Roger’s boat broke through the cumulonimbus barrier.
In an instant, the sky brightened.
The clouds in the sky are dazzling.
Beauty is intoxicating.
However, the time to enjoy this beautiful picture is only a short moment.
next second.
under the pull of gravity.
The boat sank.
Falls on the down current of Twin Points.
Driven by the current, it descends rapidly.
It’s a test for those who are going to the Grand Line through Upside Down Mountain for the first time.
But for old fritters like Roger, it is already commonplace.
Roger stood calmly on the bow with his hands on his back.
The coat on his body rattled under the gust of wind.
His figure has never been shaken in the slightest.
Just over a minute before and after.
The boat entered a relatively calm sea.
The starting point of the Grand Line, Twin Points is here! ! !
Roger stood on the bow, looking around.
Everything is exactly as in the impression.
The lighthouse is still there.
But the people and whales of the past were not seen.
Roger frowned slightly.
Mind a move.
The mighty Observation Haki diverges.
quickly.
He sensed a movement from the bottom of the sea.
‘Boom Rumble’
next moment.
A violent roar came from under the sea.
There were ripples in the calm sea.
Then the sea suddenly swelled.
As if some behemoth was about to leap out of the sea.
The huge waves pushed the boat back more than 100 meters.
finally.
The behemoth under the sea showed its true body.
Like a wall, it stands above the sea.
“giao”
The behemoth that quickly surfaced to the sea shouted.
Sharp sound waves spread, deafening.
“giao”
The giant island whale Laboon, with its 100-meter-wide eyes, looked at Roger standing at the top of the mast without blinking, and shouted again.
This time, there was a hint of joy in its voice.
That is the joy of saying goodbye to friends.
Whales are different from ordinary fish.
Especially a human island whale like Laboon.
It still remembers.
decades ago.
The man in front of him is with his buddies.
Let it hear the melodious pirate song Binks’ wine again.
The person in front of him is also its friend.
“Ahahahaha, Laboon, you’ve grown up again.”
Roger opened his mouth with a laugh.
“giao”
Laboon responded with a cry.
There was a little more joy in the voice.
Roger looked up.
His eyes fell on the criss-crossing wounds on Laboon’s head.
he knows.
That’s because Laboon hit the Red Line because he missed the Rumba Pirates too much.
Think of the Rumba Pirates.
He couldn’t help but sigh.
They also went to look for it at that time.
The end result was unsatisfactory.
The Rumba Pirates have a high probability of being wiped out.
“Laboon, you… eh”
Roger just wanted to reassure a few words.
next second.
He suddenly screamed and jumped on top of Laboon’s head. .
Only then did I see the whole picture of the crooked graffiti on Laboon’s wound.
At first he thought it was a special wound.
Take a closer look.
Only then did he realize that it looked like a crooked pirate flag.
Skull with a straw hat?
It looks a little familiar!
“Laboon, what’s the matter with this pattern on your head?”
asked Roger.
“giaogiaogiao”
Laboon explained in the language of whales.
“Well, that’s what it is!”
Roger nodded.
He who hears the voice of all things.
Able to understand Sea Kings communication.
There is also some understanding of the language of special species such as island whales.
“You made a pact with the boy wearing a straw hat. This is really good. The pact must be kept well!”
Roger patted Laboon on the head.
“giaogiaogiao”
Laboon happily drank it, also guaranteeing.
at this time.
Only a click was heard.
It was like the sound of a door opening.
The air vent on Laboon’s back opens a portal.
An old man like a flower crawled out along the stairs.
“Giaogiaogiao, Laboon, what’s wrong with you today? Keep calling, I’ve said it many times, if there are boats coming down, just let them pass by, don’t get in the way!”
The flower-like old man, the lighthouse keeper Crocus reluctantly taught.
Suddenly.
He glanced out of the corner of his eye.
I saw a familiar figure not far away.
Just for a moment.
Crocus froze in place, unable to move.
“Yo, Crocus, long time no see, I’m back!”
Roger waved his hand and smiled brightly.
“You, you… Roger, you cheated the corpse!!!”
