Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 831 The persistence of three people!
Seeing him like this, Kuleha was stunned for a moment and laughed.

"Yes, that's right! Roger had the same expression back then."

"That was his first time setting foot on the Grand Line. He only had a small boat, and the crew consisted of only Rayleigh, Jabba and a few others."

Ron: "..."

After a pause, Kuleha said with a look of nostalgia: "But he... Rocks, is indeed such a ridiculous man."

"But Rocks didn't know whether his idea was right or wrong. Or maybe he knew the government would erase his existence and simply wanted to leave something to prove his existence... So he asked me to tell the next guy like him the reason for his going out to sea."

"So you picked Roger?"

Ron asked silently.

"Yes, and no... That kid just had the same fearless temperament as Rocks, but his background was totally incomparable."

"The reason I chose him is because I wanted to see how far a 'D Clan', the guy Rocks hates the most, would go... It's completely a case of bad taste."

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a sound of tables and chairs colliding. Kurokas's face showed a mixture of disbelief and sudden realization, and he clapped his hands repeatedly.

"That's it, that's it!"

"No wonder Roger often looks in one direction at the sea. Rayleigh said he was communicating with a dead spirit, but I thought he was joking."

"Now that I think about it... that direction should be where Rocks was defeated and died!"

Three years before Roger returned to the Grand Line to become the Pirate King, Crocus accepted the invitation and joined the Rumbar Pirates in order to find his companions on the giant whale "Laboo".

So he didn't know about these old things.

But now he understands.

Perhaps, the reason why Roger returned to the Grand Line despite his serious illness 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 romance between men!

If he died of illness halfway, he would just be tied with Rocks, and no one would win or lose; but if he didn't even dare to come back because of the illness, then he would lose completely!

This was also the first time Ron heard these secrets. He stared at Kuleha in a daze and suddenly realized that compared to himself who was used to scheming, these two people were really just like fools.

"After Rocks left, I waited for nearly 20 years until Roger came... and another 20 years later, I waited for you."

Kuleha tilted her head back and poured the last bit of wine in the bottle down her throat, then looked at the floor, as if recalling something.

"Lockes said he was a rebel, a rebel against fate; Roger said he was a pursuer, a pursuer of freedom;"

"how about you?"

Suddenly raising her head, Kuleha looked straight at him.

"Tell me Canglong, who do you think you are?"

"Resisters, pursuers?"

Indeed, this is very consistent with the life stories of Rocks and Roger. One fought against fate, and the other yearned for freedom without restraint.

Ron fell into deep thought about this.

What is myself?
Challenger?
No, that's just my way of life, my way of living.

What does that belong to?
I don't need others to define my life, but I can't deceive myself.

and so……

After pondering for a long time, Ron slowly raised his head and smiled.

"Do you think you had the opportunity to talk and exchange ideas with a Navy admiral face to face like this more than a decade ago?"

Hearing this, the two narrowed their eyes and looked moved.

“If I have to define my life, I think I am a changer… a world changer!”

Along with the declaration, a strong but not fierce domineering aura suddenly spread out. From the warships to the ports, from the sea surface to the seabed, everything became quiet.

The fish stopped swimming, the waves stopped roaring, 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 by chatting?!"

This heavy feeling of oppression even made him want to bow down in worship!
That is not a change in the "quantity" of the Conqueror's Haki, but a difference in "quality"! As we all know, Conqueror's Haki cannot be cultivated. The stronger the body, the stronger it will be.

"Contact the 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, and after a moment, the latter shook his head.

"Alterer...?"

“What a sweeping statement.”

Having said this, Kuleha paused.

"But as an outsider, I have no right to say anything... From the changes in you, I can see that you are not deceiving yourself. You really believe in it and are willing to sacrifice everything."

"Let's stop here and talk about reminiscing about the past. I think you should have gotten the answer you wanted."

Ron stood up, straightened his clothes, then took out a cigar and lit it for himself.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"and many more!"

Watching him take a step, Kurokas frowned and said, "Are you sure you want to leave like this?"

"Oh? Do you have anything else to say?"

In response, Kulokas took a deep breath.

"I think it's time to tell you something. After all, even Aokiji was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and he even sent out an assassination team to find an old man like me."

"I can no longer see how critical the situation is. I am really living a dog's life at my age."

"so?"

Ron took a puff of his cigarette: "You want to say...ONE PIECE?"

"That's right! I..."

Before he finished speaking, a terrifying and ferocious aura suddenly surged up from him.

"Shut up, pirate!"

Looking up in great discomfort, Kurokas looked at Ron, whose face was cold, somewhat confused.

In response, Ron approached him step by step, and the sense of oppression became more and more pressing, as if he were a god or demon.

"ONE PIECE is not Rocks's news. It has always existed in the world. If you want it, I will find it myself, so don't test my patience, okay?"

"Besides, how many soldiers have died in the navy over the past hundreds of years? How much blood has been shed in order to protect this secret from being discovered by you pirates?"

"And you're going to speak it out now, after you've kept silent for more than a decade, in our navy's territory?"

"Don't insult the countless heroes who sacrificed their lives in our navy over the past eight hundred years, you bastard!!!"

Looking at Kurokas, whose face turned pale and almost fainted under the impact of his own domineering aura, Ron turned around and left after he finished 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!”

Kulokas gasped for breath and it took him a long time to recover. He looked at Kuleha who was drinking calmly beside him and smiled bitterly: "Old man, did I say something wrong?"

"If we don't tell others about what we have discovered, there is no telling how much trouble it will cause."

"idiot!"

In response, Kuleha glanced at him and said, "That's why Canglong said not to insult them. They are the navy. They can only die standing up, not kneeling down to live!"

"It is a shame to learn from pirates the secrets you swore to protect and survive!"

"Besides, not everyone is as eager to know the secret as the pirates. One of the values ​​of the navy is to prevent anyone from knowing the secret... You are denying their value of existence, which is much more dangerous than dancing on the edge of a knife."

Hearing this, Kurokas broke out in a cold sweat and smiled bitterly.

"I see. I am... still so stupid."

"That's why he let you live!"

Kuleha shrugged, and patted Kulokas on the shoulder as he stared in astonishment. "Because idiots don't have so many little thoughts, they remember the lesson."
