Naruto: I am Ninja World Ghost Story, who are you?

'That's great, Nami.'

#

Rogue Town.

The ninja members had already followed Vice Admiral Garp's ship to Marine Headquarters. Smoker was still in charge of the town. He was still in shock from the last incident and wandered the streets with a somewhat dazed look in his eyes.

"Colonel Smoker! Something terrible has happened!"

"What's wrong? You mean the Justice Pirates have arrived? As long as they don't kill indiscriminately, just leave them be." Smoker still had some self-awareness.

Offending those powerful pirates here could provoke a battle and cause the town's residents to suffer an undeserved disaster.

Therefore, ignoring it is the best option.

Therefore, the Justice Pirates will eventually arrive in Loguetown and head to the Grand Line, which is not far from Loguetown.

"No, no! It's—"

"Gol D. Roger has been resurrected! Right above the execution platform!"

Smoker, cigar in mouth, went from expressionless to not even noticing when the cigar fell out, his face filled with disbelief. "Are you kidding me?! Marine!"

"It really is Colonel Smoker!"

......

Execution platform.

The townspeople looked up and saw the figure emerge from above the empty execution platform. Those who had grown up in Loguetown instantly recognized the person.

That's Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King!

"How could this be! Roger has actually come back to life!"

"Am I dreaming?!"

"How could such a thing possibly happen?!"

All around, people began to murmur.

Luffy and Nawaki, standing below the execution platform, looked up in astonishment at the people who had appeared above.

"Rope Tree! Do you think that person could be the Pirate King Roger?!" Luffy never expected to encounter such a good thing while visiting the execution platform.

When Rope Tree heard what the surrounding residents were saying, he was completely stunned.

The sudden resurrection of someone who has been dead for more than 20 years means that Uchiha Bakuhan is indeed in this world!

Rope Tree gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, we have to verify if he's alive."

The boy's gaze reflected the figure emerging from the execution platform. At that moment, the middle-aged man above was stretching and yawning, as if he had just woken up.

"Where is this?"

Roger, even younger than God Valley, stood atop the execution platform, a ray of blinding sunlight shining on his face, as if Ace's future face, grown up, was being displayed before Luffy's eyes.

"like..."

"It seems so?" A question mark appeared above Rope Tree's head.

"He looks just like my brother Ace!" Luffy pointed, his voice filled with shock.

"You mean Ace from the Whitebeard Pirates? Now that you mention it, I think we can call Red or Hancock over to take a look. They're the only two people here who participated in that instance and saw Ace's face in person," Nawaki said, stroking his chin.

Tread-tap-

The naval personnel rushed to the town. Smoker, upon hearing the news, dared not be careless for a moment, just to come and confirm whether the news was true.

Look up.

The figure on the execution platform was exactly the same as he had been twenty-two years ago, only this time he looked at least twenty years younger...

“Is that really Gol D. Roger?!” Smoker shouted upwards.

Roger lowered his head, not recognizing the smaller Smoker from back then. After all, with so many spectators, who could remember a child? "It's definitely me. I'm just curious, what new technology has your Navy developed that can bring me back to life?"

He stretched his muscles and bones, and his strength was not much weaker than at his peak.

Smoker bit down on his cigar. Even with his Logia-type Devil Fruit powers, he didn't dare say he could defeat a legendary figure. He turned to the Marines and said, "Immediately send a Marine Admiral to provide support! Tell them that Smoker, the officer stationed in Loguetown, has confirmed Roger's resurrection!"

"Yes, sir!" The naval officer saluted and immediately ran towards the naval base in the town.

Roger was intrigued when he saw Smoker's panicked state and realized that the thoughts he heard using Observation Haki didn't seem to be a lie.

Could it be that I've really been resurrected? And even become younger?

After considering the advantages, I also thought about the disadvantages.

Could all of this be part of a conspiracy? Roger examined his body, wondering if his seemingly normal body was actually a sentient puppet or something.

Just as Roger was pondering, Luffy's voice interrupted his thoughts.

Below, Luffy made a megaphone with his hands and shouted, "Hey—Uncle!"

Roger casually picked at his ear and looked down at Luffy. "What's wrong?"

"Are you really the Pirate King?!" Luffy continued to shout.

Roger found this kid quite interesting. "Yeah! Don't you believe me?"

"Can you tell me what 'ONE PIECE' is?! I want to be the Pirate King too!!"

Upon hearing this, Roger coughed violently, thinking to himself, "Where did this idiot come from? He actually asked me this question directly."

Below the stage, many people looked on with anticipation, all thinking that Roger's secret, 'ONE PIECE', would finally be revealed today—the great treasure that countless pirates would risk their lives to find on the Grand Line!

Chapter 158 Smoker Makes His Move, Roger's Overpowering Aura Shocks

Prop shop.

Usopp: "I want this and this too!"

Weapon shop.

Zoro: "So expensive!"

clothing store.

Nami held up a dress and gestured to Kurenai, asking, "What do you think of this one?"

“Not bad, but…” Kurenai Yuhi finished speaking, but the voice she heard made her turn her head to look. She saw that the clothing store owner had already brought out a large pile of clothes for Hancock and claimed that the entire purchase was free. All she had to do was let Hancock try on the clothes and let him see them.

"My beauty is not something I sell easily," Hancock said decisively.

"How could this be~~" The clothing store owner's eyes turned into pink hearts, his hands clasped together, his body twisted in a strange posture, but his tone showed no dissatisfaction.

"Even so, I would like to request that this beautiful lady take some items from our shop." The clothing store owner held up a long dress with very little fabric. "This one is by a famous designer from Loguetown..."

Hancock listened to the clothing store owner's rambling explanation with a somewhat helpless expression, but Nami said that this way they could save some money when buying clothes, and they should just treat it as casually listening to the owner's rambling.

The road on the street.

Sanji is desperately searching for a beautiful woman—Alvida, who has taken the Smooth-Smooth Fruit.

Sweet shop.

Mitarashi Azuko excitedly carried a bunch of sweets out of the store.

While everyone was still doing their own thing, they heard sounds of commotion coming from the street from different locations.

"The Pirate King has been resurrected!"

"What?! You're not talking about Gol D. Roger, are you?!"

"It's true! Lots of people saw it; the navy is there right now!"

In the clothing store, Nami heard the noise from the street and immediately put down the clothes she was about to buy, her face grave. "Miss Kurenai, it seems something terrible has happened."

"Judging from the sounds, it must be some extraordinary person who has been resurrected." Kurenai Yuhi also heard the sounds outside, and her expression turned grave.

One Piece, isn't that Luffy's dream?! And now the former Pirate King has been resurrected?!

"That's truly remarkable." Hancock tossed her long black hair, walked to the store entrance, and said, "Let's not delay, let's go take a look. Who knows, today might be the day we witness history!"

"Yeah!" x2

In front of the prop shop, Usopp, who had bought many props and was carrying a large bag, looked terrified when he heard the news. He wanted to go to the execution platform that the passersby had mentioned, but he was also afraid from the bottom of his heart.

Luffy and Nawaki seem to be there... What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?

Just then, he bumped into Mitarashi Anko, who was running from the other side of the street carrying a bag of sweets.

Mitarashi Anko ran past Usopp, then realized she had overlooked something and came back.

Turned.

Seeing Usopp wearing a strange mask, Mitarashi Anko looked at her strangely and said, "What are you doing here, Usopp? Something terrible has happened up ahead, hurry up and come with me."

"Huh, who's Usopp?" Usopp turned his head to the side, trying to pretend he didn't recognize Mitarashi Anko.

The next second, a hand grabbed Usopp's clothes, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

"Aaaaah—don't pull me! I don't want to go! One Piece is so scary!"

On the street, Usopp was dragged along by Mitarashi Anko, kicking up clouds of dust that left the surrounding pedestrians stunned.

At the weapon shop, Zoro, as usual, took out 100,000 Berries and rummaged through the weapons, completely ignoring the situation outside the street, and was talking with Tashigi inside the shop.

While searching through the barrel of 50,000 broken swords, Zoro, as always, found his destined one—the Sandai Kitetsu.

All the swords in the Onikiri series are cursed swords; anyone who obtains and uses them will almost certainly die.

A swordsman has two choices when faced with a powerful blade.

First, use it directly.

Second, obtain the knife's approval before using it.

—I believe no swordsman would give up a fine weapon.

As the cursed sword flew backwards through the air, about to sever Zoro's left arm, both Tashigi and the weapon shop owner, who had intended to trick Zoro, were shocked.

The demonic blade is indeed sharp, living up to its reputation.

The sturdy wooden floor made a ripping sound, and the falling demon sword, unsurprisingly, sliced ​​through a piece of paper, with half of the blade embedded in the floor.

"A fine knife, I'll take it!"

The weapon shop owner had never seen such a crazy swordsman before. This belief and courage reminded him of his own dream.

Who can say that a man who can open a weapon shop in this chaotic pirate world doesn't have any dreams?!

Not only did Zoro acquire the cursed sword Sandai Kitetsu without spending money, but he also obtained Yubashiri, one of the 50 finest swords. With this, Zoro's three-sword style was fully complete.

Moreover, as he hummed a tune and walked down the street, he heard rumors about the 'Resurrection of One Piece'...

Wait a moment? !

Zoro overheard a couple talking and immediately grabbed one of them by the collar, exclaiming excitedly, "You just said the Pirate King has been resurrected! Right where the execution platform is?!"

An innocent passerby, seeing the menacing Zoro, stammered, "Yes, yes, many people saw it. The Navy is currently gathering its troops to surround the area..."

"This is terrible! Luffy and Nawaki should still be there!" Zoro immediately ran in one direction.

The two pedestrians looked at each other blankly, seeing Zoro's excitement.

A passerby pointed at Zoro's retreating figure and asked, "Is he heading to the execution platform?"

Another pedestrian nodded, "Yes, probably, judging by how excited he is."

The pedestrian looked speechless, pointing behind him with his right thumb, "But the execution platform is over here."

......

Roger's resurrection brought an end to the chaos in the corners of Loguetown. Wanted criminals, pirates, and other bounty hunters all turned their attention to the execution platform.

Just as they were passing another prop shop, Usopp suddenly saw a prop in the hand of a blonde little girl and immediately used some force to stop Mitarashi Anko.

"What's wrong?" Mitarashi Anko turned to look at Usopp, who had stopped in his tracks.

She had a donut dangling from her mouth, not forgetting to enjoy her sweets even as she hurried along.

"That...that is..."

Mitarashi Anko, with a donut in her mouth, followed Usopp's gaze and noticed a father and daughter standing in front of a building—the middle-aged man wore a black and red cowboy hat and a light-colored cloak covering his entire body.
