Chapter 195 Roger's Choice
Chapter 195 Roger's Choice
The sea surface at night gives people a deep and mysterious feeling, and the sea breeze blows gently, like the temperatureless touch of the dead.
Roger's heart suddenly tightened, and Charlie's words were like a curse lingering in his mind.
It’s hard to get rid of, but I can’t bear to look at it.
"Roger, have you made up your mind?"
Zel's voice rang out again, bringing Roger back to his senses.
Looking at the young face in the mirror, he suddenly smiled.
“I have to do it!”
"This world is completely rotten and needs a savior."
"Locks can't do it, Shiki can't do it, and I can't do it either."
"You know what? In Raftel, I saw this hope."
“Only when the contradictions of the times reach an extreme will the people who liberate the world emerge.”
Roger's tone was firm. Even though he knew that his choice would kill many people, he still would not regret it.
"Who's that guy you're talking about? Joyboy?"
Roger was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.
"Do you know that too?"
Zel shook his head, his tone dismissive.
"I don't know who the savior is, but I know that Joey Boy is a loser."
"I don't know what you saw. The future? Language? Child of Destiny?"
"In my opinion, leaving your fate to a loser is a cowardly act."
Roger didn't refute Zell's words, but just sighed.
"You are very strong and still young. Unfortunately, you are already a user of the Blood-Blood Fruit."
Roger also knew about Zell's deeds. In his opinion, Zell's talent was unquestionable.
But Zell is already a Devil Fruit user, so it’s impossible for him to be Joyboy.
Roger shook his head and looked at Zel.
"What are you going to do, stop me?"
Zel said nothing, took out a few more bottles of wine from the system warehouse and threw them into the twin mirrors.
"Thank you!"
Roger took the bottle and thanked Zel, but it wasn't just a thank you for the wine.
Zel will not stop Roger, or rather, he needs Roger to start this great pirate era.
If the Great Pirate Era had not begun, the original timeline would have been completely messed up.
The timeline is messed up, which is of no benefit to Zel who is familiar with the plot.
Putting aside this heavy topic, Zel asked Roger.
"Where's your wife? Isn't she pregnant?"
After hearing what happened to Lu Jiu, Roger tightened his grip on the bottle and spoke in a small voice.
"I'm hiding well. She'll be safe."
“Ha. Hahahahaha!”
Hearing this, Zel laughed, and laughed so loudly that it annoyed Roger.
"Well hidden, Roger, are you sick and confused?"
Roger wanted to lose his temper when he heard Zel's laughter, but Zel spoke first.
"Charlie, show him how well he hides."
Roger ushered in the Great Pirate Era, but whether it was right or wrong remains to be discussed.
When Zel died, One Piece had not yet ended. I wonder what Roger saw that made him make this decision.
However, the tragedy of Batalila Island was entirely caused by Roger's failure to hide his identity.
Charlie obediently placed her hand on the crystal ball and began divination again.
Roger hesitated to speak, looked at Charlie who was fortune-telling, and finally said nothing.
About thirty seconds later, Charlie's face turned pale as she released her hand from the crystal ball, her lips still trembling slightly.
Zel placed his hand on her little head, mobilizing the power of his fruit to warm Shirley's body.
Feeling the warmth coming from her body, Charlie felt slightly better and her lips stopped trembling.
Looking at Roger, who had a puzzled expression on his face on the other side of the mirror, he spoke in a complicated tone.
"I saw the bodies of sailors, civilians, and women."
Roger's heart suddenly trembled, and his face, which was slightly red due to drinking, turned a little paler.
"The descendants of the Pirate King are the descendants of sin. It is better to kill the wrong ones than to let them go."
boom!
Roger's face turned even paler, his head hung low, and the bottle in his hand had shattered into pieces.
Although neither Zel nor Charlie said it explicitly, he was not a fool and knew what happened after a little thought.
The air was quiet, neither Zel nor Charlie spoke, only the sound of wine bottles dripping to the ground and the sound of waves hitting the rocks.
boom!
Just when Zel thought Roger was going to defend his actions, Roger simply knelt on the ground.
"I'm running out of time, so help me, I know you can do this!"
Zel was surprised to see Roger lower his proud head, but his tone remained cold.
"why?"
Roger raised his head and took off the Ace that was worn around his waist.
"Ace, one of the Twelve Great Swordsmen!"
"If you'll lend a hand, he's yours!"
Zel wasn't surprised that Roger would ask him for help, but he was surprised that he was willing to hand over Ace.
You know, for swordsmen, their swords are the same as their partners.
As one of the few great swordsmen in the world, the sword in Roger's hand means a lot to him, which can be seen from the fact that he named his son Ace.
"make a deal!"
Zel's voice rang out, causing Roger, who was kneeling on the ground, to smile in relief.
"Any more wine? The bottle we had just now is gone."
It seemed as if he had let go of all his burdens, and Roger felt a lot more relaxed.
"Ten million Baileys a bottle!"
"Damn, robbing money!"
………………
The next morning, Lu Jiu got up early.
"Dreamy, have you seen Roger?"
Seeing Menghuan floating back from outside the house, Lu Jiu asked.
"The long nose hair is outside and he smells of alcohol!"
Menghuan fanned her nose and showed a disgusted expression.
She originally planned to find Roger to get the twin mirror back, but ended up seeing Roger who was drunk.
Lu Jiu followed Roger and soon found Roger drunk on the shore.
Roger's lower body was buried in the sea, dozens of empty wine bottles were scattered around him, and his snoring was deafening.
Lu Jiu was not angry. She squatted down carefully and gently stroked Roger's face with her hand.
"Lu Jiu, let's go back and let this bad guy soak here alone for a while."
A dreamy and tender voice sounded, and it was obvious that she was still brooding over what happened before.
Lu Jiu smiled sweetly and said while looking at Roger's face.
"Thanks for your hard work."
She knew Roger's identity, that he was the Pirate King and one of the strongest men in the ocean.
She also knew that Roger's time was running out and that he was about to leave.
But she had no regrets, either falling in love with Roger or getting pregnant.
In her opinion, her man is the Pirate King, which is something to be proud of and something that her children should be proud of.
Lu Jiu reached out to pick up Roger, but the weight was too much for an ordinary woman like her.
At this moment, Lu Jiu suddenly felt the hand holding Roger lighten, and turned to look at Menghuan.
Seeing Lu Jiu looking at her, Menghuan turned her head away proudly, and the childish voice sounded in Lu Jiu's mind again.
"I just want to help Lu Jiu, it has nothing to do with this long nose hair!"
