From Pirate to Revolutionary Mentor

Chapter 61 Roger, the One Who Was Backstabbed

"He's utterly the scum of the Navy!"

In Sengoku's office at Marineford, Marine Headquarters, he held Kevin's report in his hand, his eyes twitching.

Putting aside the origins of that expedition team, which might be related to the World Government's decision to issue the Buster Call, the mere fact that this guy arrested an entire ship's crew for his own selfish desires is already tarnishing the Navy's reputation.

Ever since Roger uttered those last words in Loguetown, the number of new pirates setting sail on this sea has been increasing every day.

With insufficient manpower, even the member states of the World Government are struggling to take care of many of them, and the Navy's reputation has already become quite tarnished.

If this bastard's actions get exposed...

"The World Government is covering up the identity of that expedition team, and the youth training camp has also issued a gag order. However... you know the quality of the lower-ranking marines."

Crane also disliked this major from headquarters named Kevin, at least in this matter.

After a moment's thought, Zhan Guo said, "Once the youth training camp is over, send him back to the West Sea."

Crane shook his head slightly, propping himself up with his hands as he replied, "He's a member of the World Government. If that little bastard were to send him to the Four Seas at the exact time the Buster Call was issued, the World Government wouldn't agree with it if he pulled a little strings."

"And that little rascal is a monster in this training camp. The last person to earn that title was Kuzan."

"Furthermore, Kuzan, Sakazuki, and Borsalino earned their titles of 'monster' primarily from their natural abilities, which are considered calamities. And even Kuzan is nearly ten years older than that little brat."

The Warring States period was deep in thought, his brow furrowed.

On this vast ocean, those who can develop their abilities to a certain extent and master both types of Haki are naturally the strongest.

However, Haki is more important than the abilities of Devil Fruits.

The most typical example is that old bastard Garp, whose iron fists even took down Rocks in God Valley back in the day.

Crane glanced at Sengoku: "He's like a stubborn leech that you can't get rid of. Instead, we should think about how to maximize his combat power. The positions of the three generals are basically set, but we still need a lot of combat power for the core force."

Zhan Guo nodded slightly.

After a long pause, he seemed to remember something and slammed his hand on the desk.

"Why isn't that old bastard back yet?!"

He leaned back and replied, "I heard that because your stock of senbei is gone, he doesn't want to come back for the time being. Also, he wants to take all the vacation days he's had over the years."

Sengoku's forehead veins bulged as he clenched his fists, but in the end he deflated.

What can be done? What can be done about a long-time partner?

"Knock knock knock".

"Come in."

After the knock, a communications soldier saluted and handed the document to Sengoku.

After quickly reading the document, Zhan Guo's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again.

A plea for help from a member state of the World Government, along with a call from the King requesting the Navy to immediately send troops to assist.

"Revolutionary Army?"

As Zhan Guo muttered to himself, the name of an organization appeared in the description of the document.

……

Donghai, Windmill Village.

"Waaaaah..."

A baby's loud cry rang out, and a tiny arm slapped against a large face.

However, Garp didn't care at all, holding the little guy tightly and refusing to let go: "Ace, I'm your grandpa, grandpa, grandpa..."

Outside the cabin, Portgas D. Rouge was hanging clothes out to dry.

Seeing Garp teasing Ace, he smiled and continued with his housework.

During the South China Sea incident, Rouge learned about a Marine Vice Admiral named Kuzan from Garp, and she was very grateful to him.

If he hadn't leaked the World Government's plans in advance, Ace and himself might already be dead.

At that time, Rouge had even planned to hide and postpone Ace's birth time. Only in this way could she ensure that Ace's birth time had no connection with Roger.

This child will inherit Roger's will and become the freest person on this sea!

A ray of sunlight pierced through the clothes drying in the sun. Rouge felt that her life was good now because Ace had survived.

……

"You old bastard! You took advantage of me!"

"Old dog! He's suddenly gained a higher seniority out of nowhere!"

"You want my son to call you grandpa? What are you trying to do, you Garp bastard!"

"Do you want me to call you Dad?"

A masked man wearing a cloak had already crushed the tree trunk beside him with one hand.

Roger had just returned from seeing his son and was barely suppressing his anger, afraid that Garp would notice.

Right now, all I can do is vent my anger on the tree; I can't rush out and give that old bastard a good beating.

After being sent to the Sabaody Archipelago, the resurrected Roger hesitated for only a few days before having Kevin send him to Loguetown in the East Blue.

Because he didn't leave his coordinates in Windmill Village, he had to take a boat to Garp's hometown, which led to the current situation.

When Roger arrived at Windmill Village, he also brought with him a trident kunai, so Kevin witnessed what had just happened.

patting Roger on the shoulder, Kevin said with a half-smile, "Not bad, not bad. After fighting this old rival for so many years, you still managed to outmaneuver me in the end. You've finally gotten your revenge."

"Once your son grows up and calls you 'Grandpa' so familiarly, what will you call him then? 'Godfather'?"

Roger shook off Kevin's hand, sat down on the ground in a huff, looking utterly displeased.

Even though he was indignant, he knew he could only suppress his anger and couldn't even bring himself to see Rouge and Ace.

Because he knew very well that Garp agreed to take care of Rouge and Ace largely because it was his dying wish.

If he knew he was still alive, and saw the chaos the sea had become, he would know his attitude.

She'll definitely relentlessly pursue him like a mad dog, and Rouge and Ace will face new dangers.

After a long while, Roger stood up: "Let's go."

"Um?"

Kevin hesitated for a moment: "Why don't we stay a few more days and see?"

Roger grinned and said, "I'm the freest man in the world. One look... is enough. Rouge is doing well, Ace will grow up on his own, and I can't call them."

"Even in death, my life is destined to belong to this sea. Also... after Garp is gone, I will come and teach my son."

After saying that, Roger looked at Kevin and said, "With your abilities, young master, coming back is just a matter of a moment, isn't it?"

Kevin choked for a moment: "Heh...that's why I think guys like you have absolutely no sense of responsibility. Come on, I'll take you to meet our people."

I'm begging you to read this! I'm begging you to read this! Thank you so much!
