"Roger, what should we do next?" Jabba suddenly asked.
"----I have no idea.
Roger scratched his head and sighed, "I'm very curious about what Bazel has discovered, otherwise his bounty wouldn't have suddenly increased to this level."
"Didn't the newspaper say that whoever captures Bazel alive can become a Celestial Dragon?"
"This promise is incredible! It seems the Beasts Pirates are going to become the most delicious roasted meat."
"Buggy, go get my Den Den Mushi."
"learn!"
After Bucky brought the Den Den Mushi, Roger took several deep breaths and dialed the number he remembered.
Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~
The Oro Jackson was eerily quiet at that moment.
Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~
Snap—
"Hahaha~~ Cheers! Neptune, you're pretty awesome!"
"You're not bad either, Bazel."
Roger's serious expression vanished instantly, his features scrunched up in a wrinkled mess.
"You bastard, Bazel! I was so worried about you!"
"You were hiding in the Dragon Palace drinking!!"
"What?!"
The Den Den Mushi gave a disgusted look: "What's up, you with the long nose hair? What do you want?"
"It's not nose hair, it's a beard, you idiot!!"
Seeing that Roger was about to start arguing again, Rayleigh quickly snatched the Den Den Mushi from the side.
Incidentally, Jabba also pushed away the foolish Roger.
"It was me, Rayleigh. Bazel, who were you fighting with that day?"
Faced with Rayleigh's incisive question, the Den Den Mushi's expression gradually calmed down.
"It's better that you don't know; it's the truth of the world."
"But how did you find out about this? Did Xiaqi tell you?"
Reilly shook his head in denial, then quickly recited the contents of the newspaper.
"My bounty has skyrocketed to 49 billion?"
The Den Den Mushi showed surprise, but not much.
"Sure enough, that guy was disgusted, hahaha~~~"
"I'll tell you the truth, Roger!"
Roger moved closer, with Shanks and Bucky perched on his shoulders on either side.
"Do you remember the archangelic abomination I summoned when we fought?"
Roger nodded in agreement.
"I used that trick to lock the master of this world inside and then successfully escaped."
Roger was stunned at first, then opened his mouth wide in disbelief.
"The master of the world?! Is it a Celestial Dragon, Bazel?"
"Celestial Dragons? They're not the masters of this world, Roger. Haven't you discovered any truth at all?"
The smile on the Den Den Mushi's face had a hint of amusement.
"Back then, during the God Valley Incident, you didn't actually believe that Saint Satan was the supreme leader, did you?"
Roger swallowed hard. "What are you trying to say?"
"The Five Elders are just pawns sent out by that person."
7
The Den Den Mushi lowered its voice, but its smile remained unchanged: "This time, I'm not fighting the Five Elders, nor am I fighting the Knights of God."
"Can you understand me, Roger? The masters of the world are not them."
Roger lowered his head in thought, and when he looked up again after a few breaths, his expression was extremely solemn: "Are you saying that whether it's the Knights of God or the Five Elders, they are all someone's subordinates? No!"
Roger immediately contradicted himself after saying those words.
"They should be called servants!"
"The reason you have a 49 billion bounty on your head this time is because you know about that existence?"
The Den Den Mushi (snail phone) extends its tentacles and snaps its fingers.
"That's right, I fought her head-on, and when I realized I couldn't win, I ran away."
"Who is that person you're talking about?" Roger pressed.
"6
The Den Den Mushi shook its head. "This is the truth of the world, Roger. It's something I have to do, and it has nothing to do with you."
"If you really want to know the answer, go to Egghead Island, Egherd, before the grand banquet begins."
"That island is currently undeveloped, and deep within that island lie ancient robots that attacked the Holy Land of Mary Geoise 200 years ago."
"As far as I know, the Five Elders' order at the time was to destroy this ancient robot."
"But those scientists who had a pity for ancient scientific knowledge hid it away in an attempt to decipher the ancient technology on it."
The robots that attacked the Holy Land two hundred years ago —
Roger didn't understand why the other party had suddenly asked him to find this robot.
"There are some truths hidden in that robot. Whether you can discover them or not depends entirely on your luck."
"Roger, you can collect this payment whenever you want."
"But in exchange for intelligence, if you decide to accept the payment, then you'll have to help me attract the attention of the world government in the future."
"That's all. It will divert some of their attention from me to your Roger Pirates."
The Den Den Mushi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile.
"This is the freest transaction ever."
"If you're willing to go, you have to help me this once; otherwise, you can ignore this deal."
"As for who the master of the world is, that is the biggest secret, a secret that cannot be told."
"If you manage to live to a much more distant future, then you will witness the truth."
After saying that, Bazel didn't give Roger another chance to ask questions and hung up the Den Den Mushi.
Looking at the Den Den Mushi that had fallen into a dormant state, Roger closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Roger, don't fall into his trap."
Jabba frowned and said, "Even if what he said is true, what does it have to do with us? We just want to find the direction the Poneglyphs point to."
"No! We must go!"
Roger slowly exhaled a breath of stale air as he opened his eyes again.
"Bazaar wouldn't lie to me; that ancient robot must be hiding something."
"The reason he wants me to go there is probably because he knows about my special ability, the power to hear the voice of all things."
"He wants me to hear the robot's voice!"
"Then tell him what the robot's voice sounds like; perhaps that's his real purpose."
"That man's gaze isn't just fixed on tomorrow; he must have guessed what happened in the past, but he can't reveal it because he lacks evidence."
"Given his current situation, he has drawn the World Government's full attention to himself, which is perfect for us to use this period of transparency to travel to Eigerd Island!"
Listen carefully!
Roger looked around, his voice serious: "Bazaar and I have no fundamental conflict. Our fight is because of a pre-arranged match."
"Whether I kill him or he kills me, the remaining party will not stop."
"We will continue our journey carrying each other's dreams."
"But there's one thing!"
"We both share the same goal: to uncover the truth of history!"
"At least on this point, Bazel and I are partners we can entrust with our lives!"
"He chose to believe me, just as I chose to believe him!"
"The next order is the captain's—"
"Rayleigh!"
Without giving anyone a chance to object, Roger looked at Rayleigh.
"Notify the helmsman to turn around and let Shakky travel from the seabed to the New World on her own. We will go to the entrance of the New World to pick up Shakky."
"Then we'll figure out a way to find the island of Eigherd that Bazel mentioned!"
"I need to know the truth of what happened back then, what the official historical records say, because it concerns the future of this ocean!"
Rayleigh nodded emphatically and waved to his companions on the lookout tower.
"The Roger Pirates, set sail!"
Several more days passed—
A giant golden sphere emerged from the seabed, breaking through the limitations of the seawater and soaring into the air.
"Big brother, it's the Roger Pirates!"
Golden Eyes slowly descended and stopped near the Oro Jackson.
"Yo, Roger, Sassiburi~"
Bazel jumped aboard the Oro Jackson, holding a gold bounty poster in his hand.
"My bounty is higher than yours now, come and worship the great pirate Roger with 4.93 billion Berries!" He stared at Bazel with dead fish eyes and said, "Get lost, I'm not a fanboy. If you have nothing better to do, get out of my sight. I don't want to fight you right now."
"—I don't want to think about the future either!"
"As expected of Roger, the most jealous man ever! Wow!"
Bazel carefully put away the bounty poster and waved to little Bucky.
"Bucky, I've come to take you home!"
Bucky, hiding behind Rayleigh, waved his arms: "Don't talk nonsense, you idiot! When did I agree to that?!"
Bazel stepped in front of Rayleigh, squatted down, and took out his bounty poster again.
"Look, this is an invitation from a pirate with a staggering 49 billion Berries, Buggy! Aren't you happy?"
"I'm happy, but I'll never leave the Roger Pirates!"
Bucky proudly raised his head, "Go invite Shanks, that idiot isn't important anyway."
"Feed Bucky, why don't I matter?! You stupid red-nosed idiot!"
"Who are you calling Red Nose?! You idiot Shanks!"
Seeing the two kids fighting, Bazel hid to the side and laughed.
"Big brother~~"
Just then, Loki's half-body peeked out from the golden eye beside him.
"It's time to continue our journey. Captain Kaido tells us to hurry back."
"Oh! Coming right now~~"
After agreeing to Loki's request, Bazel climbed onto the gangway of the Oro Jackson.
He turned his head to look at Roger.
"The truth of the world is not so easy to bear."
"The World Government is enraged because I have touched upon a taboo truth."
"Roger, can I trust you?"
Roger pushed aside Jabba and the others who were blocking his way and stood in front of Bazel.
Not a word.
But Bazel could understand the emotions that those eyes were trying to express.
"If we weren't pirates, if there were no world government on this sea, if people could be free—"
Roger, perhaps we can sit down and have a good drink sometime in the future.
"Perhaps, Bazel, you're a pretty good man."
Bazel jumped back to Golden Eyes.
"The next time we meet will be at a grand banquet. Prepare for battle, Roger."
"One of us might die in that battle, you know what I mean, right, Roger?"
"I know."
Roger pulled down the brim of his hat, a smirk playing on his lips.
"If I die, I'm leaving Shanks and Buggy in your care."
"If you die, I'll carry your dreams and usher in a new era!"
Bazel said nothing more and disappeared behind the gradually rising and deforming golden wall.
"The Beasts Pirates are setting sail!!"
Watching the golden-eyed creature rush into the clouds and disappear into the distance.
Roger raised his head slightly, a hint of regret showing in his eyes beneath the brim of his hat.
"Rayleigh, that guy is prepared to die at any moment."
"That guy's voice, the hero's voice, is about to reach its climax."
"His aura is growing increasingly lonely—"
Rayleigh walked over to Roger's side.
"That was his choice, Roger. At worst, we'll just collect his body when he dies."
"Then hold a three-day, three-night banquet in front of his tombstone."
Hahaha~~~
Roger suddenly burst into laughter.
"That's right, if I died, that guy would definitely go to my grave to drink!"
"Men never have to part face-to-face."
"Anyway, in the end, whether we win or lose, we will meet again in the underworld."
"Let's celebrate our reunion with a drink when that time comes!"
