Simultaneous travel: The group is about to be wiped out

Chapter 158 The Impure World Reincarnation Doesn't Cry, But the Father Will.
Suddenly, the scene became somewhat delicate, with everyone's attention focused on Roger and Ace, the father and son.

A sea breeze was blowing, the sea was calm, and it shimmered in the sunlight.

Watching the scene unfold, Chen Feng stroked his chin. It seemed that his Edo Tensei wasn't so bad after all; at least it made up for the regrets and allowed Roger and Ace, father and son, to meet again. However, the atmosphere was rather subtle.

As a legendary figure crowned the Pirate King, Roger was fearless even when facing the siege of the strongest pirate crew at the time, and dared to fight.

It can be said that there is no one in the world that he fears, and he is undoubtedly a legendary figure in the world of pirates.

Yet this very person looked bewildered at that moment, unsure of what to do.

When he died, if he said that the only things he couldn't let go of were his wife and children, then he was dying.

Looking at Ace's face, Roger moved his lips slightly, but in the end he only uttered two words: "I'm sorry."

He had so much to say, so many questions to ask…

But at this moment, all he could say was "I'm sorry."

Upon hearing these two words, everyone present was deeply moved. They never expected that the legendary Pirate King would show such an expression and say such things.

Facing his biological father whom he had never met before, and hearing this apology, Ace was momentarily speechless.

Although he is very gentle and warm to everyone, he really doesn't know what to say to his father in this situation.

Seeing his former captain in such a state, Red Hair quickly came out and laughed to ease the tension.

"Well, things have been sorted out. How about we take this opportunity to have a party?"

After saying this, he came to Chen Feng's side, his face full of apology, and said, "This commotion has caused some disturbance. I trespassed into your territory without understanding what happened. I am really sorry. As compensation, consider this a debt I owe you. If you ever need my help in the future, just ask. As long as it doesn't violate my principles, I will do my best."

Wow, you apologized pretty quickly.

However, a favor from one of the Four Emperors, especially one from Shanks, is worth enough.

…………

In a forest on the outskirts of Reheit Island.

As the sun sets and dusk falls, the world comes to a close.

A lively party unfolded. The world of One Piece is truly wondrous. The two groups, who were originally preparing to fight, started a gathering after the misunderstanding was cleared up.

The Kingdom of Reheit had already received the instructions and prepared everything.

Various delicacies and fine wines were swiftly brought over by the guards, and a bonfire was lit in the center.

Redhead sat cross-legged on the ground, raised the wine jar in his hand, and took a big gulp, not caring at all about the spilled wine. He gulped it down and said cheerfully, "I was indeed rude this time. I'll drink this jar of wine first as a sign of respect. Please forgive me."

"Furthermore, I must thank you very much for fulfilling Captain Roger's wish."

Chen Feng didn't say much about it, but simply raised the wine jar and took a big gulp.

Whitebeard sat to the side, picked up a bottle of sake and took two big gulps, then shook his head: "Hmm, it seems there are quite a few limitations to this ability. We really can't feel anything when we drink in this state. I felt it during the battle before, it was like all the senses in the body were taken away."

Then, as if he had thought of something, he couldn't help but suggest to Chen Feng, "By the way, can't you summon that guy Shiki? Perfect, let's take this opportunity to bring that guy out."

Chen Feng raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "Oh, I remember you looked down on Golden Lion. Why are you so eager to meet him today?"

Upon hearing this, Whitebeard was somewhat surprised and snorted, "Kid, you know quite a lot. Indeed, I look down on Shiki, and I guess Roger looked down on him too. Although this guy is quite strong, it's a pity he doesn't have the domineering aura that a strong person should have. I looked down on this guy when he was in the Rocks Pirates. Back when the three legendary pirates were on par, this guy was the strongest. It's a pity he only knew how to rely on external things and didn't understand that true strength comes from one's own abilities."

"At this point, since we're just killing time anyway, it's a good opportunity to chat with old friends."

Upon hearing Whitebeard's words, Chen Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded and casually slapped the ground again.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique was used again, a coffin appeared, and then the golden lion was revealed.

The first time you use the Impure World Reincarnation technique, you need a living person as a sacrifice. Fortunately, we captured enough great pirates and quickly gathered enough.

Golden Lion had just opened his eyes and was clearly a little confused, but after looking around, he vaguely understood what was going on and casually sat down next to Whitebeard and Roger.

"Hey kid, that's really unfair. I contributed to the battle before, and you didn't even bother to get me out of the party this time."

Chen Feng chuckled lightly, said nothing more, picked up his wine glass, and quietly began to drink.

This scene is truly rare; the three legendary pirates are sitting together. If a picture were taken of this, it would become a famous painting in the world of One Piece.

Whitebeard snorted and said, "Hey, Shiki, you're still the same annoying person after all these years. Even if we summon you, we can't even taste the wine."

Shiki laughed heartily, ignoring the sarcasm in the other's words. He picked up a jar of wine and took a few gulps. "You don't understand. It's about the feeling. That's true. We're already dead, but to have the chance to see this world again, to have the chance to fight again, is a blessing in disguise."

"Haha, actually I was quite annoyed after being summoned. Being summoned to fight by a brat is not a good feeling. But when I found out it was to fight the World Government, it felt great. It's the first time in so many years that I've fought in Mary Geoise, the holy land of the Celestial Dragons."

"Thinking about it later, I feel relieved. This kid is definitely not someone who's content with mediocrity. He'll definitely cause big trouble in the future. If you want to conquer the world, then my fighting power belongs to you!!"

Whitebeard glanced at the guy and said with slight surprise, "Oh, I didn't expect you, Shiki, to have this kind of awareness."

Shiki chuckled, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes: "Perhaps having died once, I've become more thoughtful. My ambitions may never have a chance to be fulfilled, so what's wrong with entrusting them to this brat?!"

Seeing this, Whitebeard seemed to realize something, and turned his gaze to Chen Feng. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke: "Kid, I know you're not the kind of person who's easily threatened, but you're not unreasonable either. To be honest, your ability is indeed a bit disrespectful to the dead. I'm happy to see my son again." "Like Shiki, you can use my power, but there's only one condition."

Before Whitebeard could continue, Chen Feng chuckled and took over the conversation: "Oh, so you're going to get revenge on Blackbeard? Sure."

For him, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he'll most likely have to fight Blackbeard. This is a good opportunity to do Whitebeard a favor, so that Whitebeard will be a key player when he fights Blackbeard.

Chen Feng wasn't a heartless person; he was willing to do things that were convenient and wouldn't affect his own plans.

Besides, they were fighting with all their might, which made me feel a little more at ease.

Seeing that Chen Feng had agreed, the white-bearded man's smile widened. He picked up a bottle of wine and drank it all in one gulp: "It seems that you little brat are not so annoying after all. As long as you can help me avenge my sons and get rid of that traitor Teach, you can borrow my power without any problem."

At this moment, Ace, seeing this scene, also suddenly raised his head, his eyes solemn, and said in a pleading tone: "Also, if you are going to fight Teach, please summon me. It's all because I want to settle this matter. Please."

Roger, who had been silent all along, looked at Ace in such a state and his thoughts were in turmoil. Teach, who is this person?

Seemingly sensing the captain's confusion, Shanks leaned closer and recounted everything from beginning to end.

From Ace joining the Whitebeard Pirates, to his failed pursuit and capture of Teach, to Whitebeard leading a rescue mission, and finally being killed by Akainu.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Lion suddenly understood something and pointed at Ace in surprise, asking, "Roger, is this your son? That's amazing! I never thought you had a son."

Seeing Ace's state and Roger's unusual silence, Shiki seemed to realize something and obediently shut his mouth, picking up his glass again to drink.

Suddenly, Roger stood up, walked up to Chen Feng, and said, "I think we can talk."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng was slightly surprised, but still nodded: "Okay."

After saying that, the two of them walked away into the distance together.

Watching Roger's departing figure, Ace still asked, "Dad, what is he going to do?"

Whitebeard had a vague idea, grinned, picked up the wine jar and took a big gulp, but did not give a definite answer: "Heh, who knows? That guy's mind is very complicated."

Night falls and the bright moon hangs high.

Reaching the shore, Chen Feng turned to look at the legendary figure before him and spoke first: "I am neither a kind person nor an unreasonable one. If you want to make a deal with me, that's fine, as long as you pay a price that tempts me. Then it's not impossible for me to do some things."

Upon hearing such direct words, Roger smiled and nodded, "In that case, I am relieved."

After he finished speaking, a scene that made Chen Feng's eyelids twitch appeared.

boom! ! !
A muffled thud, then a soft thud.

Roger knelt down facing Chen Feng, his hands pressed to the ground, his expression solemn.

Upon seeing this, Chen Feng's lips twitched, and he was immediately stunned. What's going on, buddy?
What are you doing? If your former crew members saw this, what would they think? Wouldn't they gang up on me and beat me up?
Chen Feng was taken aback and rubbed his forehead. "No, why don't you get up first? There's no need for such a grand gesture. As long as the matter is reasonable, we can make an exception."

No matter what was said, Roger remained steadfast and solemnly said, "This time, I have only one request. Looking back now, my life has been quite eventful. I have participated in many great battles, accomplished feats that no one has achieved in 800 years, conquered the Grand Line, known as the most dangerous sea, and found the true end of the Grand Line, the legendary 'final island' Laugh Tale."

"But at this moment, I realize that the person I have wronged the most is my wife. I am unforgivable for Ace's death. He was still young and had regrets that he had not yet fulfilled. I am heartbroken for him."

"Therefore, I hereby request that, if possible, you help Ace fulfill his greatest wish. For this, as his father, I am willing to give everything. You can have anything I possess, even One Piece or my fighting power!"

After saying that, the pirate king slammed his head heavily on the ground, making a dull thud.

"please!"

At this moment, Chen Feng fell silent, staring blankly at Roger's posture. This legendary Pirate King had actually done such a thing for a child. He sighed softly and spoke with deep emotion:
"I never expected that a hero like you would give up everything for something he cherishes. Alright, I agree. You fight for me, and in return, if Ace has any regrets, I will let him do them, and I will even ask you for help at crucial moments!"

Perfect, it fulfilled his wish. It seems that Shanks's visit wasn't such a bad thing after all. At least these four resurrected Edo Tensei powerhouses are now willing to fight for him after this gathering.

Fighting wholeheartedly and being manipulated into fighting have completely different effects.

A moment later, the two returned to the gathering place.

Just as Roger sat down, Ace approached him with a complicated expression and asked, "What did you say to him?"

Looking at his son, Roger smiled gently and said in a relaxed tone, "Oh, it's nothing. I just made a deal with him. I've discussed it with that kid. From now on, you can do whatever you want to do. He won't stop you. If you encounter any difficulties, you can even call me out."

It's more than just a transaction; it's selling yourself out completely, turning you into a full-fledged henchman.

Seeing this, Ace vaguely guessed what was going on and fell silent for a long time before finally speaking slowly: "Thank you."

Upon hearing those two words, Roger's smile widened. He laughed heartily, as if his previous heroic spirit had returned. He slowly extended his arm, looking at Ace with expectation mixed with a hint of pleading.

Ace was taken aback for a moment, then smiled gently, bent down, and hugged him tightly.

At this moment, even though Roger felt nothing from the Impure World Reincarnation, his expression still changed, and a few tears welled up in his eyes.

Chen Feng watched this scene quietly, a sense of emotion welling up inside him, as he recalled a widely circulated saying from Naruto.

The Impure World Reincarnation doesn't shed tears, but the father will...
