Chapter 307: The Flowers Have Fallen, and the King's Life (2)

"Over the years, I have indeed met some people with D in their names. Does D have any special meaning?"

Whitebeard asked casually.

Roger grinned, raised his drooping head, and looked directly into Whitebeard's eyes:

"Why, do you want to know?"

Time seemed to suddenly stop at this moment, with only falling cherry blossoms surrounding the two legendary pirates.

The two looked at each other amid the aroma of wine and cherry blossoms. After a while, Whitebeard looked away, took a sip of the wine, and shook his head casually:

"No, maybe it's the information you got on that final island? I'm not interested."

"Eh? ~ People are desperately looking for something, but you are not interested in it, Newgate~"

Roger curled his lips in disappointment.

Whitebeard laughed heartily:

"Kulalala!~ The only people I care about are my family."

"Then I'll tell you how to get to Raftel. Are you not interested?"

"Kulalala~ If I want to, I can get there anytime, but it doesn't belong to my life, Kulalala~!~"

The man named Edward Newgate possesses a terrifying power that is enough to destroy the world, as well as a broad mind and chivalrous spirit. However, this legendary man who is admired by countless people is not interested in the fame and fortune that the world pursues. His world can only hold the treasure called "family".

Roger was stunned, then burst into laughter:

"Ahahaha!~ As expected of you, Newgate~ Cheers!~"

bang~

The crisp sound of wine bowls colliding once again echoed under the cherry trees, but now all that was left was the final farewell between the two legendary men who had walked through several eras together...

The sea is like this. Sometimes, an ordinary drink becomes the last memory of an old friend.

You never know which encounter will be the final farewell in this life.

"Hahahaha!~ So this is the reason for disbanding the pirate group?~"

The golden lion leaned against the main seat in the hall, looking at Roger beside him with interest.

For Roger, Ski always has more special feelings than for other people. It seems that his sailing experience in the first half of his life is closely connected with Roger.

Roger sat next to the golden lion and nodded casually. Having fulfilled his lifelong dream, he knew all the secrets behind the world. His only regret was that he was born in the wrong era.

"Ah, now that the dream has been fulfilled, it's time for everyone in the pirate group to pursue their own lives."

The 'king' Rhine on the side frowned slightly:

"Roger, maybe following you is the life that Rayleigh and the others yearn for."

Roger was silent for a while. He did not tell Rhine that he was seriously ill and dying, so Rhine was right to think so.

Roger did not answer this question, but changed his expression to a lewd one:

"Hey, Rhine, do you want to know where that guy Rayleigh is now?"

Silver Bass Rayleigh, the man known as the Pluto, the vice-captain of the Pirate King Golden Roger, and another man who is very similar to him, is the Rhine in front of him.

Michel Rhine, the man with the title of 'King of Heaven', is the deputy commander of the Flying Admiral Shiki the Golden Lion.

Rhine was rather curious about Rayleigh's whereabouts:

"Oh? Did he tell you?"

Although Roger shook his head, his tone was extremely confident:

"Hehe~ Rayleigh and Xia Qi have a 'close' relationship~ Xia Qi has been staying in the Sabaody Archipelago for many years, so Rayleigh is naturally also, hehe~"

Gutt, who was standing by, exclaimed in surprise;

"Oh? Xia Qi? Rayleigh and Xia Qi actually have this kind of relationship."

As a former member of the Rocks Pirates, Gut naturally knew about Shaqi, the former intelligence agent of the Rocks Pirates.

The Golden Lion didn't care much about this, his eyes only had room for Roger.

The four people present, Golden Lion, Roger, Rhine, and Gut, have known each other for decades, although they had many frictions in the early years and even conflicts that led to war.

However, due to Lex's management over the years, Roger has a good relationship with most of the pirate groups in the New World, and the Golden Lion and Roger did not have the Battle of Et-Wol as in the original work.

"By the way, Shiki, are you interested in heading to Raftel?"

After thinking it over again and again, Roger asked the Golden Lion this question.

It’s different from asking Whitebeard, because Whitebeard is a man without any huge ambitions, but Golden Lion is different.

Golden Lion put down the sherry in his hand and asked back:

"So are there any ready-made ancient weapons there? Or other powerful forces?"

Roger immediately shook his head.

The Golden Lion immediately smiled contemptuously:

"It's not like I don't know everything. Lex has told me as much as you have over the years. Raftel, just hearing your name is a joke that fools the world!~"

"Raftel, it's not that you're trying to fool the world, it's just that there's no ready-made power there."

Gutt asked from the side:

"Captain Roger, can you tell me some information about that place? Or about the hidden card of the man on the Void Throne?"

Gutt's questions were simple and direct, getting to the heart of the matter.

Rhine and Golden Lion also looked at Roger curiously.

After all, they are going to defeat the world and overthrow the times together with Lex in the future, so it never hurts to know more.

Roger raised his eyebrows and gestured to the empty glass in his hand.

Seeing this, the Flying Trio secretly curled their lips, but still filled Roger's glass and waited for his next words.

After a few drinks——

Roger left Ant Island alone again.

In the empty hall, only the Golden Lion, Rhine and Gutt were left.

"Gute, based on the information Roger provided, what do you think are the chances of Lex winning if he goes to war directly next year?"

The Golden Lion looked thoughtful and habitually asked his think tank, Gut.

Agulhas Gutt pondered for a moment. While listening to Roger's recounting of the historical secrets, he secretly weighed this question in his mind:

"We definitely have a chance of winning, but even if we defeat him, according to Roger, we cannot completely kill him without the corresponding energy. But even if we completely kill him, our losses will certainly be incalculable, and -"

Gut paused, speaking with caution:

"Even if the young master leads us to directly defeat the World Government, in the future, Nika's successor will be born as predicted."

Rhine took over the conversation between the two and expressed his own thoughts:
