In the first half of the Grand Line, after a short break, the Roger Pirates headed towards their target, Jaya Island.
After a long voyage, the Roger Pirates finally arrived at their destination, Gaya Island.
When the Roger Pirates' flagship, the Oro Jackson, approached the port of Jaya Island, it caused a huge commotion.
After all, as one of the three most famous pirates in the entire ocean, the name of Golden Roger is very loud.
In addition to Captain Roger, there are also Pluto Rayleigh and Jabba the Copper on board.
As one of the three strongest forces in Roger's pirate group, they are still very famous on the sea.
"Hey, hey, isn't that the ship of Roger's pirate group? How come it appears in Paradise?!"
A fat man with a full beard and wearing a tattered coat looked at the flag of Roger's pirate group and said with a trembling voice.
"That Roger guy, didn't he just have a conflict with the Golden Lion in the New World a while ago? How come he suddenly appeared in Paradise!?"
A large number of people dressed like pirates gathered at the port, pointing at the Oro Jackson.
"Hey, it seems we are quite popular! Hehehe!"
Roger walked to the bow, noticed the crowd at the harbor, and said with a laugh.
"Well, we better not make any big noise. After all, that guy Garp is right behind us."
Rayleigh said with a chuckle.
"Hey, Rayleigh, what are you afraid of? It's rare to come to an island with people, so of course we have to have some fun!"
Jabba walked up to Rayleigh wearing black goggles and said jokingly.
"Yes, yes, I haven't indulged myself for a long time! Wine, women, here I come!"
With a roar, Golan jumped off the boat and rushed towards Gaya Island.
Seeing Golan so excited, Silka looked at him with contempt.
"Humph, as a man, you must be able to endure loneliness and control your desires!"
"Tsk, Silka, what you said is not convincing at all!"
Looking at Silka who had already climbed up the railing and was about to jump down, Dollinger complained.
In the center of the plywood, Rocks, Barrett, Shanks and Buggy were together.
"What a rowdy bunch."
Rocks said slightly speechlessly as he looked at the noisy members of Roger's pirate group.
"Hahaha, you'll get used to it."
Shanks responded with a grin while rubbing the back of his head.
"Hey, Rocks, I heard that Gaya Island is an island of pirates. Are there a lot of pirates on this island?"
It was unknown what Buggy was thinking of, and suddenly his eyes lit up as he asked Rocks.
"Well, there are indeed a lot of pirates. What's wrong?"
Hearing Buggy's question, Rocks responded calmly.
"What are you waiting for, Rocks? Let's go ahead and take all their treasures!"
Bucky shouted excitedly.
“… ... ... .”
Everyone was speechless at what Bucky said.
Although the Roger Pirates are very powerful, they cannot just rob the pirates' treasures like this.
That would cause public outrage.
"Hahaha, Bucky, you're such a money-grubber!"
Shanks responded with a grin, then walked straight to the side of the ship.
While they were chatting, the Oro Jackson had already come to a stop alongside.
Roger Reilly, Jabba and the other two had already disembarked and were walking towards the bar at the port.
Seeing this, Rocks also walked towards the side of the ship. He also planned to see what this Pirate Island, the first half of the Grand Line, was like.
Barrett looked at Rocks leaving and followed him.
"Hey, bastard, that's a lot of treasure! At worst I can give you half of it!"
Seeing this, Buggy shouted anxiously and then quickly followed.
In the center of Gaya Island town, Rocks and Barrett were sitting on a huge rock, bored, watching the fight between two groups of pirates.
Rocks sat on the rock, his chin resting on his right hand.
"They are so weak. Fighting is so boring."
Rocks muttered in boredom.
"Indeed, they are too weak! It makes me want to sleep."
Barrett echoed.
More than an hour had passed since we left the Oro Jackson.
Rocks and Barrett separated from Shanks and Buggy and wandered around the island.
When they arrived at the town center, two groups of pirates suddenly rushed out of the tavern next door.
Rocks and Barrett, who were bored, happened to pass by and started watching.
Of course, besides Rocks and Barrett, there were many pirates who were not afraid of trouble and gathered together, cheering and making a lot of noise.
However, the opponent's strength was too weak. After watching for a while, Rocks and Barrett lost interest.
"Hey, you two little brats, you are so arrogant!"
Just as Rocks and Barrett were about to leave, a tall, strong man blocked their way, laughing wildly and taunting Rocks.
"Hmm? Uncle, what's the matter with stopping us?"
Rocks raised his head slightly and looked at the man.
"Heh, kid, you sound so arrogant, so your strength must be pretty good."
The man looked at Rocks and Barrett.
I have to say, he was a little surprised by Rocks' temperament and appearance.
This made the greed in his eyes even more obvious.
Although Rocks has a tall and burly guy like Barrett standing behind him who looks like someone who is not easy to mess with, the man is still very confident in his own strength.
"Hey, kid, I'm the captain of the Brown Bear Pirates. I'm offering a bounty of 13.2 million berries for Claude. Do you want to come aboard my ship?"
Claude stared at Rocks with narrowed eyes and a dangerous aura emanating from his body.
Although he said this, Claude was already thinking about how much he should sell Rocks for.
After all, such a charming and handsome kid is still very popular.
Especially for some nobles with special hobbies.
Rocks looked at Claude, and saw his undisguised greed, but his heart remained calm.
"Hahaha! Rocks, that guy, is he an idiot?!"
Barrett couldn't help but burst into laughter and said sarcastically.
Hearing Barrett's mocking words, Claude immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at Barrett.
"Hey, kid, do you want to die?"
Claude said to Barrett with a hint of danger in his voice.
"Qada"
Barrett ignored Claude's dangerous words and twisted his fists a few times, ready to teach this idiot a lesson.
but... ... ..
"The ignorant and weak will never see the reality clearly. Besides, I hate it when people other than those I approve of look down on me."
"Buzz!"
As Rocks finished speaking, an extremely violent aura erupted instantly, sweeping over Claude.
Claude, swept up by Rocks' extremely violent momentum, was instantly covered in cold sweat, his legs trembled, and he fell directly to his knees on the ground, looking at Rocks who was looking up at him in front of him with horror.
It has to be said that Claude is indeed too tall. Even when kneeling on the ground, he is still taller than Rocks, who is only 1.8 meters tall.
“Puff!”
A flash of sword light passed by, and Claude's head, with his eyes wide open, mouth wide open and a face full of fear, flew high up, and bright red blood spurted out.
"Let's go, Barrett."
Putting the sword back into the scabbard, Rocks called out to Barrett and left first.
"Tsk, what a waste."
Barrett spat at Claude, who was lying on the ground with his headless, sneered with disdain, and then left with Rocks.
When the figures of Rocks and Barrett disappeared completely, the pirates who were originally frightened by Rocks' violent momentum suddenly came back to life.
"Then, who are those two little devils?!"
"What a pair of monsters! They managed to take down Claude so easily."
"Hahaha, that idiot Claude actually provoked that monster, now he's been killed!"
A thin and short man with a pointed face and monkey chin lifted up Claude's bloody head and said something mockingly. Then, before anyone could react, he quickly disappeared into the crowd with the head in his hand.
