From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 13 Conversation with Roger

"By the way, you've definitely never seen winged people before, but they exist there."

"And have you ever seen an island perched on an elephant? Let me tell you, the animals there can talk! It's just like the animal kingdom in the stories!"

Roger, hands on his hips and chest puffed out, said, "I've been there! Hahaha..."

After laughing, Roger stopped. "I wonder how Oden's cat and dog are doing now. Oh, and there's this closed-off samurai country. Their daimyo used to be on my crew; I stole him from that Whitebeard guy's ship. Pretty impressive, huh?!"

He was only down for a moment before bursting into hearty laughter again.

Kevin sat down, propping his head up with one hand, and said, "The island ten thousand meters above the white sea is the golden city of Shandora. The island sitting on Zunesha's body is Zou Island, the Wool Principality, right? At this point in time, that dog and cat should still be in Wano Country, probably starving every day. In a few years, they'll go back to be kings."

"Furthermore... Kozuki Oden, who could read ancient characters, should have been someone you begged for by kneeling before Whitebeard, so how did it become something you stole?"

(○Д○)

For a moment, even Roger's beard stiffened with embarrassment in his spirit form.

The worst thing about bragging, a hobby of pirates, is being exposed on the spot, but this young gentleman knew so much about it.

What should I do if I want to die again?

"Ha... what a terrifying young man! But how do you know these things at your age?"

Roger tried to change the subject, but then paused, "Wait a minute. How do you know about ancient writing? My old buddies would never tell anyone. And the idea that cats and dogs will become kings of the Wool Kingdom in a few years... how can you even begin to understand that..."

Kevin looked at Roger: "Are you referring to being able to see the past? Or are you referring to being able to see your memories?"

In an instant, Roger cleared his mind of all thoughts about Laugh Tale that had almost surfaced.

For someone like him, this is not difficult.

"Don't overthink it. Besides, I'm not interested in the One Piece you mentioned right now."

Kevin continued, "Comparatively speaking, I'm more interested in what other hidden methods those guys above Mary Geoise have besides the kind of weapon that could destroy God Valley in one blow."

"Valley of the Gods?"

Roger looked Kevin over and said, "At this age, you should have been a baby during the God Valley incident, right? But even they couldn't use that kind of power without limit."

Kevin thought for a moment and asked, "Not enough energy? But even that might not have been enough for them to defeat that enormous kingdom eight hundred years ago. As far as I know, that kingdom's technology was far, far ahead of ours now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of surprise flashed in Roger's eyes.

After pondering for a long time, he exhaled: "I never thought I would still be thinking about these things after I die, but the person they are waiting for on the stone tablet is not you, so there are many things I cannot say. The burden of that history is too heavy, so heavy that even someone like me is unwilling to change it casually."

For a moment, the high platform in the center of the prison fell silent.

After a long while, Kevin looked at Roger again: "Let's not talk about that. But there are a few things I think you'll find interesting. First, your death has sparked a pirate craze throughout the world."

The rumor that the Pirate King left behind all the treasure has driven the people of this sea into a frenzy. In just a few days, countless people have set sail across the four seas and the Grand Line.

Roger crossed his arms and laughed heartily, looking very pleased with himself.

Kevin continued, "Your wife from the South Sea will give birth to a son for you in one year and three months. However, by then she will be nearing the end of her life."

One year and three months—this period of time made Roger's soul tremble slightly.

No one knew better than him how much the World Government feared him; Laugh Tale carried all the taboos of the World Government.

As the Pirate King, he must have been seen by those people as an enemy of the gods who had inherited the will of history.

That is why one's own bloodline will not be allowed to exist in this world.

So, was Rouge finally exposed?

Roger covered his eyes with one hand.

"call……"

So Garp is just an unreliable bastard!

If we had known, we should have asked Rayleigh and Jabba for help, but that would have been too obvious and would have put our old buddies in danger.

Garp is such a bastard!

After a long pause, Kevin finally spoke up and asked, "So, aren't you going to ask me to help you think of a solution?"

Roger shook his head slightly: "Young master, someone like you must have his own purpose in everything he does, right? Although that bastard Garp is unreliable, he should be able to set my son free."

Freedom?

So in the end, Ace still went to sea and became a pirate.

Kevin stood up: "So sometimes I really dislike your personality. You guys don't seem to have the slightest sense of responsibility for freedom."

He waved his hand, ignoring Roger's long-winded speech behind him.

He seemed sophisticated and high-class, but in the end he was just a scoundrel who abandoned his wife and children to go to sea.

A sense of responsibility? Do pirates even have that?

……

West Sea, near the town of Lasgap.

Not long after emerging from the prison space, Kevin heard the sound of artillery shells whistling through the air.

Kevin, who was only a private first class, immediately received orders to go up to the deck to engage in battle.

Unlike ordinary soldiers, after defeating a group of pirates in Loguetown, his rank has been promoted to headquarters, and he is just waiting to be officially appointed in Lasgap Town in a few days.

So Kevin didn't need to load the shells; he went straight onto the deck.

"That bastard Roger! In just a few days, even the West Sea has started to riot!"

"Sink them all!"

"Bombard! Bombard!"

……

On the bustling deck, Kevin looked out to sea and saw five pirate ships flying the skull and crossbones flag heading towards the warship.

Their destination was Reverse Mountain, but before that, they didn't mind starting their plundering voyage on the Grand Line with a warship.

"call out……"

Five shells came hurtling towards them; this was the third round of shelling, and they had been corrected and were now fully aimed.

No sooner had the exclamations from the deck of the warship begun than a figure was seen leaping into the air.

"Whoosh!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of footsteps echoed as all the shells exploded in mid-air under the influence of Armament Haki.

However, Kevin did not stop. Instead, he used Moonwalk to head towards the enemy's pirate ship.

Once physical fitness reaches the required level, the improvement in mental fortitude makes skill development a natural progression.

Kevin understood the principles behind Moonwalk all too well.
