Chapter 313: Autumn
Baterila Island in the South China Sea, this is the island where Roger came by chance, a beautiful island in the South China Sea.
However, what gave Roger the most headache was the blonde woman in front of him——
Portgas D. Luju.
This should have been the last leisure time in life, but Lu Jiu messed it up. The reason was also very strange, because Lu Jiu actually fell in love with Roger! ~
This middle-aged man in his fifties actually attracted a young woman who was about the same age as Lex! ~
The world's great wonders.
Roger felt very distressed. He stopped, took a deep breath, and looked at Lu Jiu who was panting behind him:
"So what do you want to do?~"
"Dinner~"
Lu Jiu had the attitude of a child who had done something wrong, her head hung low, her fingertips nervously pinching the hem of her skirt, looking down at the ground, her freckled cheeks flushed.
Roger was stunned for a moment, then refused and said:
"I don't have Bailey on me, I can't pay for my meal, I can't even pay for my own drinks."
"I raise you."
"..."
Roger was speechless.
half an hour-
"Well, I am really impressed by you, a strange woman. By the way, do you know who I am?"
"do not know."
"Um, okay, my name is Roger, what's yours?"
Lu Jiu finally looked Roger in the eye and asked with all her might:
"But I've told you many times that my name is Luju, Portgas D. Luju. Why can't you remember it? I remember everything about you so clearly~"
Roger was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter and touched the back of his head embarrassedly.
As the sun sets, Lujiu finally gets to have her first meal with Roger as she wished. The meal is not rich, and the only meat dish is the soup made from the fish that Lujiu had caught with great difficulty.
But it was such a simple meal that made Roger, who had been wandering for half his life and was unrestrained and free, feel a new feeling for the first time. It seemed to be the taste of "home".

South Sea Thorbey Kingdom.
Bartholomew Bear is in the church, using his fruit power to heal the elderly who are suffering from illness.
Seeing everyone recovering and healed from their illnesses, Xiong Wenhe had a satisfied and happy smile on his face.
He is such an extremely kind person.
Ginny, on the other hand, had a bad look on her face. She stared at the bear fiercely, with a resentment and heartache in her eyes.
Only Ginny knew that the ability of the bear's fruit could not directly cure everyone's illness, but rather "absorbed" everyone's illness. And the absorbed "pain" would eventually be silently borne by the bear alone in the dead of night.
Ginny had just happened to see the bear sneaking out of the church in the middle of the night not long ago. After secretly following him, she learned the truth behind the bear's treatment of everyone over the years.
It turned out that all the pain was eventually silently endured by the bear alone.
Ginny felt distressed and complained about why Bear Cub was so stupid.
After everyone left, Ginny took angry steps and approached the bear step by step.
For a moment, their eyes met.
Although there is a huge difference in height, the difference in momentum is even greater.
Although the bear was taller and more sturdy, he acted like a baby who had made a mistake in front of Ginny. He avoided her gaze and didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Ginny asked angrily:
"Why are you hiding? ~Look into my eyes!~"
The bear's chubby body trembled, and he looked at Ginny silently, not knowing what to say. After a while, the bear managed to utter a sentence:
"Don't be angry, Ginny. I'm sorry."
Ginny asked back:
"Oh? You still know how to apologize? Then tell me, what do you feel sorry for?"
The bear was at a loss. He couldn't come up with an answer after thinking for a long time, so he replied honestly:
"I don't know, but don't be angry. I'm sorry, Ginny."
When people are speechless, they often laugh for no apparent reason, and that's what Ginny is doing at this moment.
She laughed in anger, and moved forward step by step, forcing the bear to retreat step by step:
"Humph!~ You don't know anything. You just act like a fool, hiding everything from me, bearing all the pain alone, treating me as an outsider, not telling me anything, hiding everything from me!~Bear!~"
As Ginny spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, her eyes turned red, and her face was full of grievance.
The bear didn't know what to do, but instinctively stepped forward and pulled Ginny into his arms. This was the bravest thing the bear had done in his life.

at the same time.
South China Sea Naval Headquarters.
All the senior naval officials in the South China Sea gathered together today, standing on both sides of the port, and a red carpet was laid from the entrance of the branch all the way to the port.
Amidst flowers and cheers, a magnificent fleet slowly approached from the sea.
"Everyone line up!~"
At the general's command, all the navy looked towards the port.
On the warship at the head of the fleet, a graceful and gorgeous black-haired woman slowly appeared, and her cold eyes swept across the entire scene.
next moment--
"All the South China Sea Navy welcome General Taotu to take up the post of Governor of the South China Sea!"
For the first time in history, someone with the rank of general served as the governor of a sea!
General Taotu, Ugetsu Gion, 26 years old, Governor of the South Sea! ~
