The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

The clouds that had gathered in the sky were directly dispersed, and the two fought a fierce battle on that island for three days and three nights.

The splendor it displayed captivated all pirates and made many marines even more aware of the terrifying nature of the pirates on this vast sea.

Leave all your belongings behind!

At that time, the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates fought a fierce battle that lasted for three days.

Then... what started as a struggle for possession completely turned into an exchange of gifts.

Everyone watched the past events that the two sides had experienced. Even for the Navy, the clash between the two legendary pirates on the high seas was something that attracted a lot of attention.

Furthermore, one of the stories involves the experiences of Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King.

People are always curious about everything related to One Piece.

Whitebeard smiled as he quietly watched these scenes from the past.

For someone his age to be able to see his past so clearly is truly a joy in life.

Unfortunately, I don't have any wine on hand right now.

However, shortly after, when the scene in episode 767 showed Roger taking Kozuki Oden away, Whitebeard's face darkened.

He hadn't forgotten that Roger, that bastard, had half-coaxed and half-begged the samurai he brought from Wano Country, essentially getting away with nothing.

"Humph!"

He couldn't help but snort coldly, and that was the end of the story regarding his interactions with the Roger Pirates.

However, he was also curious to see what happened and what happened to Kozuki Oden and the Roger Pirates later on.

Therefore, it was Bucky alone who, holding the [Impression Lamp], began to depict the subsequent situation.

The first instance was in Moko Town on Jaya Island, where Kozuki Oden preyed on civilians...

It can't be called stealing, but the main problem is that he took people's things without paying, which is considered theft, and Jaba had to clean up his messes all the time.

This shows that even Buggy wasn't very fond of Kozuki Oden, a guy who acted without considering the consequences.

Everyone witnessed Roger and his companions' journey.

During their journey, they traveled to Angel Island via rising ocean currents, and what impressed Bucky the most was the golden bell.

And then there's Roger's part where he had Kozuki Oden leave behind the words: "We've waited until this point, to guide this text to its final destination!!"

The matter concerning the historical texts was also witnessed by everyone.

Naturally, the naval commanders, including Sengoku, who realized the seriousness of the problem, looked somewhat grim.

Afterwards, they went through the Long Chain Island, and then in the waters near Water Seven, Bucky and Shanks argued about which place was farther away, the North or South Pole.

Then there's Buggy eating the Chop-Chop Fruit and meeting Tom in Water Seven.

Then, to the melodious strains of "Binks' Sake," the Roger Pirates continued their voyage.

but.

In the Sabaody Archipelago, the scene suddenly shifts.

The scene depicts the Roger Pirates preparing to head to the New World.

"Um?!"

Whitebeard couldn't help but look at Buggy, who was holding the [Impression Lamp].

"The journey to the new world begins..."

Thinking of this, Whitebeard suddenly waved his hand, signaling Buggy to turn off the switch first.

"?"

The latter looked at Whitebeard with a puzzled expression.

"Gurarararara, there's no need to broadcast the New World."

Whitebeard laughed loudly, "You Roger Pirates can savor that!"

Having said that, he raised his head and looked directly at the Warring States period on the execution platform.

"..."

Upon seeing this, Sengoku remained silent before slowly relaxing his tense body.

Well, if even footage of the Roger Pirates in the New World is released, and if any information about Laugh Tale is revealed, it will cause another uproar for that world.

He himself absolutely did not want to see such a situation during the Warring States period.

Therefore, if Buggy had continued to drop the item, Sengoku would have had to take action no matter what.

It was precisely because Whitebeard realized this that he stopped Buggy.

Besides, just letting Ace meet his adoptive father, whom he had never met before, was enough!

"That was... Roger?!"

Even after the image disappeared, Ace still stared blankly at that spot in the sky, his eyes gradually becoming vacant, lost in thought.

"Ah, that's your father, Roger."

Garp also relaxed his guard and sat down again.

He responded to Ace's murmured question, rubbing his head as he took out a senbei from his pocket and started taking a bite.

"Roger was a very impatient and willful person when he was provoked, but his behavior was as innocent and simple as a child's."

"He valued his companions highly, which earned them their trust. And because he didn't want the enemy to harm his companions, he never ran away even when facing a powerful foe."

Click~

He chewed on a rice cracker as he slowly said:

"In addition, that guy is also a very reckless fellow. He will never allow anyone to speak ill of his partners, and he once destroyed the army of a country because of it."

"Although he is indeed a terrible guy, but..."

Garp sighed, "Even though I'm a Marine, I can't bring myself to hate Roger."

After he finished speaking, he fell silent, lost in his memories.

Ace, after hearing Garp's words, turned around and glanced at him.

He then lowered his head again, seemingly lost in thought.

"That's Roger!"

"Truly worthy of being the man who became the Pirate King!!"

"Indeed, such demeanor, even for a pirate, is truly admirable!"

"Heh, in the end he's just a pirate, and he still got taken down by our navy, didn't he?!"

"That's right, even the Pirate King himself can be taken down by our Navy, let alone the current Whitebeard Pirates and his lackeys!!"

A group of sailors marveled at Roger's brilliance while feeling increasingly inspired.

Because they all knew that no matter how powerful or dashing Roger was back then, he was eventually captured and brought to justice by their navy!

Their navy is the strongest force!

Not only Roger, but even Whitebeard, they will definitely be able to defeat him; they will absolutely win this war!!

Everyone firmly believed this in their hearts.

However~~~

Was Roger really captured by the Navy?

"Roger..."

Although the past has long been swept away by the wind, seeing Roger's voice and image once again in this place at this moment...

Even the white-bearded man sighed slightly.

Time waits for no one.

If he knew this, he might have sighed with emotion as well.

"It would be even better if we had some wine, wouldn't it?"

Link also smiled and echoed from the side.

Whitebeard glanced at him but said nothing.

Indeed, the scene he had just witnessed had stirred up his craving for alcohol.

But Whitebeard hadn't forgotten that this was Marine Headquarters, a battlefield.

If he gets even slightly drunk from drinking and it affects his ability to rescue Ace, he will definitely not let himself off the hook.

As for alcohol, we can wait until we rescue Ace before drinking it!

Link could roughly understand some of Whitebeard's thoughts, and couldn't help but smile as he took out something.

"Although I can't drink alcohol, I have something even better here."

With that, Link tossed the gourd, which was sloshing with liquid, toward Whitebeard.

"what is this?"

After taking it, Whitebeard looked up and glanced at the deep blue liquid inside.

"A very magical water of time."

Link smiled but didn't offer any further explanation.

"The waters of time?!"

Whitebeard smiled and glanced at Link without saying anything.

Instead, without any hesitation, he pointed the gourd at his mouth and gulped down the wine!

Let me taste this so-called "water of time" and see how it compares to wine!

"Whitebeard, what is he drinking?!"

Undoubtedly, when Whitebeard, who was being watched at all times, made any move, someone would notice and remind him.

Everyone noticed the gourd of wine in his hand.

"Is that alcohol? The white-bearded man is drinking?!"

"Was it because you saw your past self and Roger that you were moved to say this?!"

"No, I noticed that the gourd in Whitebeard's hand was given to him by the [Props Master]. It might not be wine..."

The sailors were there reminding each other.

The Whitebeard Pirates.

"Has Dad been drinking again?!"

Wearing a gray-sleeved white robe with a white beard emblem and a brown Turkish felt hat, the captain of the 14th Division, Spido Gil, who was of medium height and a bit chubby, with a pig nose, said helplessly.

As he spoke, he thrust his lance at the naval soldiers in front of him and used a gold shield bearing the Whitebeard emblem to deflect the various attacks.

"No, although Dad doesn't usually listen to us, he's actually quite sensible when it really matters."

Marco responded casually, then looked at Whitebeard.

"Um?!!"

Immediately, his pupils contracted sharply.

Not only him, but the Marines and pirates who were constantly watching Whitebeard also seemed to have discovered something, and their expressions changed drastically.

However, their attitudes were completely opposite.

The Navy's expressions gradually shifted from shock to terror, while the Whitebeard Pirates became increasingly agitated.

"Daddy!!!"

Under the uneasy and alarmed gazes of the navy and the delighted gazes of the pirates.

Then I saw...

358 The monster has awakened! Time, and power, have all returned...

On Whitebeard's head, where his hair had been completely bald, a dazzling golden color suddenly bloomed!
