Seeing his appearance, Kuleha was stunned and smiled.
"Yes, that's right! Roger had the same expression back then."
"That was the first time he set foot on the Grand Line. There was only one small ship and the crew was only Rayleigh and Jabba."
Ron: "..."
After a pause, Kuleha said with nostalgia on her face: "But he... Rocks is indeed such a ridiculous man."
"But Rocks didn't know whether his thoughts were right or wrong, or he knew that the government would erase his existence, and simply wanted to leave something to prove his existence... So he asked me to tell me the reason why he went to sea. The next guy I meet is similar to him.”
"So you picked Roger?"
Ron asked silently.
"Yes, and no... That kid just had a fearless temperament like Rocks, and his background and so on are completely incomparable."
"The reason I chose him is because I wanted to see how far a member of the 'D' family, the guy Rocks hates the most, would go... completely and utterly evil."
Bang!
Suddenly, the sound of tables and chairs colliding was heard. Kurokas had a look of disbelief and realization on his face, and he clapped his hands repeatedly.
"That's it, that's it!"
"No wonder Roger often faces one direction and looks out at the sea. Reilly said he was communicating with an undead soul. I thought he was joking."
"Now that I think about it... that direction should be the location where Rocks was finally defeated and died!"
Three years before Roger returned to the Grand Line and became the Pirate King, Kurokas accepted the invitation and boarded the ship with him in order to find the Rumba Pirates, the companions of the giant whale "Rabu".
So he didn't know about these old things.
But now he understands.
Perhaps the reason why Roger had to return to the Grand Line even though he was seriously ill was to decide the outcome with Rocks.
It has nothing to do with the dignity of the D clan, he just simply doesn’t want to lose to that guy. This is a romance between men!
If he died of illness on the way, he would only be tied with Rocks, and no one would lose or win; but if he didn't even dare to come back because of the illness, then he would have completely lost!
It was also the first time for Ron to hear these secrets. He looked at Kuleha in a daze, and suddenly realized that compared to himself who was used to scheming, these two people really looked like fools.
"After Rocks left, I waited for nearly 20 years, and then Roger came... Another 20 years later, I waited for you."
Kuleha raised her head and poured the last bit of wine from the bottle down her throat, looking at the floor as if she was remembering something.
"Rocks said he was a rebel, a rebel against fate; Roger said he was a chaser, a chaser of freedom;"
"how about you?"
Suddenly raising her head, Kuleha looked at him directly.
"Tell me Soryu, what do you think you are?"
"Rebel, pursuer?"
Indeed, this is very consistent with the life behaviors of Rocks and Roger. One rose up to resist fate, and the other yearned for freedom unscrupulously.
Ron was deep in thought about this.
Self, what is it
Challenger
No, that's just my way of life, my way of living.
What does that belong to
My life does not need to be defined by others, but I cannot deceive myself.
so…
After pondering for a long time, Ron slowly raised his head and smiled.
"Do you think you had the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with a naval admiral more than ten years ago?"
Hearing this, the two of them narrowed their eyes and looked moved.
"If I had to define my life, I think I am a changer...a changer of the world!"
Along with the declaration, a powerful but not violent domineering force suddenly spread out. From the warship to the port, from the sea surface to the bottom of the sea, everything fell silent.
The fish stopped swimming, the waves didn't dare to roar, and even the heartbeat stopped at that moment, unwilling to make any noise.
Headquarters fortress, marshal's office.
Akainu woke up from his momentary trance and looked back at the port in shock.
"What's going on? Can you become stronger just by chatting?!"
This heavy feeling of oppression even made him have the urge to worship!
That is not a change in the "quantity" of Bawang color, but a difference in "quality"!
As we all know, Overlord Se cannot be cultivated. The stronger the body is, the stronger it will be.
"Contact Flying Squirrel immediately and ask what happened!"
"yes!"
On the warship, listening to Ron's declaration and feeling the terrifying pressure, Kurokas and Kuleha looked at each other. After a moment, the latter shook his head.
"Changer...?"
"What a general statement."
Speaking of this, Kuleha paused.
"But as an outsider, I am not qualified to say anything... It can be seen from the changes in you that you are not deceiving yourself. You really believe so much and are willing to give everything."
"Let's stop talking about the past. I think you should get the answer you want."
Ron stood up and straightened his clothes, then took out a cigar and lit it for himself.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
"etc!"
Watching him take steps, Kurokas frowned and said, "Are you sure you're just going to leave like this?"
"Oh? Do you have anything else to say?"
In response, Kurokas took a deep breath.
"I think it's time to tell you something. After all, even Aoki was seriously injured and on the verge of death. He even dispatched an assassination team to find my old bones."
"I can no longer see how critical the situation is. I've been living like a dog for a long time."
"so?"
Ron took a puff of cigarette: "You want to say... one piece?"
"That's right! I..."
Before he finished speaking, a terrifying and ferocious domineering force suddenly surged.
"Shut up, pirate!"
Raising his head in great discomfort, Kurokas looked at Ron with a cold face, somewhat confused.
In response, Ron approached him step by step, and the pressure pressed on him step by step, like a god or demon.
"One Piece is not the news of Rocks. It has always existed in the world. If you want it, I will find it myself, so don't challenge my patience, okay?"
"Furthermore, in order to protect this secret from you pirates, how many soldiers have died in the navy over the past hundreds of years? How much blood has been shed?"
"And you're going to say it now, after you've kept your mouth shut for more than a dozen years, on our Navy's turf?"
"Don't insult the countless heroes who have sacrificed their lives in our navy over the past eight hundred years, you bastard!!!"
Looking at Kurokas, who turned pale and almost fainted under the impact of his own domineering power, Ron turned around and left after finishing speaking, leaving behind a sentence.
"You'd better not have such thoughts... Next time, I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!"
"Cough cough... cough cough cough!"
Kurokas gasped for air on the spot, and it took him a long time to regain his strength. He looked at Kuleha who was drinking calmly beside him, with a wry smile on his face: "I said something wrong?"
"If we don't speak out about what we discovered, we might cause a lot of trouble."
"idiot!"
In response, Kuleha glanced at him: "That's why Canglong said not to insult them. They are the navy. They can only die standing up and not kneel down to live!"
"It's a shame to know the secrets you swore to protect from pirates and then survive!"
"Moreover, not everyone is as eager to know what the secret is as the pirates. One of the values of the navy's existence is to prevent anyone from knowing the secret... You are denying the value of their existence, which is much more dangerous than dancing on the tip of a knife. ”
Hearing this, Kurokas broke into a cold sweat and smiled bitterly.
"I see, I am indeed... still so stupid."
"That's why he let you live!"
Kuleha shrugged, and patted Kurokas on the shoulder as he stared at him in astonishment: "It's because idiots don't have so many careful thoughts that they remember the lesson."
