Chapter 42 Shano, Roger

In 1489, all members of Roger's pirate group have maxed-out accounts!

Around the time of the Battle of God Valley, Gol D. Roger had reached the end of the record pointer, the "Final Island" - Water Star Island.

But Roger discovered that it was not the real final island, and everything pointed to another mysterious island.

Roger, who is free by nature, begins to lead his companions in the search.

In the process, he noticed some huge stone tablets left around the world, engraved with ancient texts.

Roger's observation Haki of "listening to the voices of all things" told him that this was not the historical heritage claimed by the World Government, and it seemed to hide a deeper secret!

He tried to unravel the fog of history, find the truth covered up by the government, reach the real end of the world, and become the world's number one pirate group!

But eight out of ten things in this world are not as we wish.

Roger was embarrassed to find that he didn't recognize these words at all, and almost no one knew them.

Until a few years ago, he "accidentally" met Lex. After several exchanges, Roger really believed some of what Lex said.

He began to copy various historical texts. Although Roger could not understand them at all, Lex told Roger that sooner or later he would meet someone who would help Roger realize his dream.

Roger believed it without a doubt.

.........

At this moment, at the edge of the New World, in the westernmost sea, the base camp of the "Wind Swordsman" Shano - the Antalya Islands.

"Roger, why are you drinking my wine again? There is no strange stone tablet here, and there is no reason for you to stay here. Go find someone else!"

Xia Nuo was a man in his thirties. At the moment, he was looking at Roger with a sidelong glance as he unceremoniously took up his wine and drank it in big gulps. He said with disgust and ordered him to leave.

Roger and his pirate group have been eating and drinking here for almost half a month, and every once in a while he brings his pirate group over to ask for extra money. How shameless!

There is not a trace of the bearing of the king of the sea.

“Ahahahaha! Brother Shanuo, you can’t say that. You see, you are a good brother to that guy Lex, and I am—”

"Stop, stop, stop! Stop it! Don't bring up Lex with me. Before Lex became sworn brothers with me, he never said that he would recognize Whitebeard as his father. It's clear that Whitebeard is only a few years older than me, but now I'm a generation younger than him. Damn it, I get angry when I mention that bastard Lex. Get out of here too! Roger!"

Xia Nuo, who was dressed casually and sitting lazily, said indignantly.

"Ahahahaha, next time I see Lex I will explain to him why he suddenly acknowledged that Newgate guy as his father? I think I can do it too!"

Roger said shamelessly.

"Get lost, you are just thinking about Lex's wealth and being able to treat you to a drink, not his seniority."

Xia Nuo stared at Roger speechlessly, as if he saw through him.

As if he had really been seen through, Roger was not embarrassed and simply stated his purpose directly.

"Anyway, Lex has already killed John, so he must have enough money to treat me to a drink. What's wrong with giving me a few hundred million Baileys for a drink? Can I really make him go bankrupt by drinking him out of money?"

"........"

This time, not only Shano, but also Rayleigh, Jabba and others covered their faces and looked at their captain.

Although I have known for a long time that the captain is a shameless guy, I feel really embarrassed to embarrass myself in public.

"Captain John's treasure! Captain, let's go find it! As long as we find the treasure, we won't be so poor anymore!"

As soon as Buggy heard about the treasure, he started shouting excitedly. His red nose looked very funny, as expected of a man who was born with the lucky color awakening.

"Ahahahaha, Bucky, even if you say that, the treasure must have been taken by Lex."

Roger smiled helplessly.

"Eh?!! My treasure~"

Little Buggy hid in the corner, a dark cloud covering his surroundings.

Little Buggy has lived a hard life with Roger's pirate group since he was young, so he is particularly passionate about treasure and Bailey.

What you can't get when you are young will haunt you for the rest of your life, and that's what happened to Bucky.

The treasure hunt plan of the future great Captain Buggy died before it even began.

"Bucky, be optimistic. There must be other treasures in this ocean."

Shanks, a good friend, comforted Buggy.

"Hey, Roger, why on earth are you looking for that weird stone tablet?"

Xia Nuo took a sip of wine and suddenly asked this question.

"Well, that, as long as we gather that, we can reach the real final island and become the world's number one pirate group!!"

Speaking of this, Roger introduced it with great enthusiasm.

"The Final Island? Does it really exist? Isn't it forbidden to go there by the World Government?"

Shanuo was puzzled.

"Ahahaha, doesn't that mean there is a huge treasure there?"

Roger, on the other hand, saw things very clearly at this time.

The government is trying to cover up its crimes.

"....Forget it, as long as you are interested."

Shanuo said indifferently that although his strength was at the top of the ocean, he just wanted a stable life and occasionally had a drink with Lex and his brothers, and that was all he wanted.

"By the way, Lex's progress in the past few years is a bit abnormal. John seems to have been defeated in seconds."

Roger naturally also had his own intelligence network. The sea only reported the news of Captain John's death, but Roger knew accurately that John was killed by Lex, and even knew that he was killed in seconds. Not many people knew about this.

Roger's source of information was naturally very simple, Silverbaz Rayleigh!

Rayleigh's source of information is naturally very simple, the former emperor of the Amazon Lily Kingdom, the former captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates, Rocks' former subordinate, Shaqi, the current head of intelligence.

By "selling himself", Rayleigh successfully got in touch with Xia Qi, and the two have been lovers for many years.

"Every time I see Lex in the past few years, I can feel his aura growing by leaps and bounds. Now I can't see through him at all, and I don't know how far he has come."

Shanuo was also very emotional when he heard Roger mention Lex.

"That guy Shiqi is so lucky to have such a good nephew. Why can't he be mine?"

Roger was still thinking about his wine money. Lex was the perfect ATM, with endless Baileys. Every time he "ran into" Lex, Roger would drink himself unconscious.

"You are an old bachelor, do you have any relatives? You don't even have a wife, let alone any relatives."

Shanuo made a direct and sarcastic remark.

"Ahahahaha, maybe I'll meet the right woman in a few years, I'll think about it then."

"You are so old, ugly, and have a face full of nose hair. Who would like you? Don't mess with the girl."

Shano strikes again.

Seeing his captain being scolded so harshly, Rayleigh felt embarrassed and the wine in his hand no longer tasted good.

But then he thought again, at least he had Xia Qi, who was countless times better than Roger, the old bachelor, so he continued happily drinking the wine that the captain had bought for free.

"Anyway, you should get out of here with your pirate group. You've been eating and drinking for free here for almost half a month. You're really shameless."

Shanuo had already said this, so Roger had to leave.

"Oh, by the way, did Lex tell you about that?"

Before leaving, Shanuo looked at the backs of all the members of Roger's pirate group and suddenly realized something.

"What's the matter? Are you going to buy me a drink? Ahahaha!"

Roger turned around, looking confused.

"...Go away, go away. Don't come here to ask for money from me in the future. If you have the guts, go find Golden Lion."

"Ahahahaha, that guy Shiqi doesn't welcome me."

Watch the Oro Jackson go away and disappear in the distance along the coastline.

Xia Nuo withdrew his gaze and looked at the woman behind him.

"Benny, Den Den Mushi, I need to call Lex."

After hearing this, the beautiful woman behind him took out a Den Den Mushi that was about to die from her chest and handed it to Shanuo.

Bilibilibili~~

Den Den Mushi was connected.

"I'm Shano, Lex, Roger just left me."

"Well, what's wrong?"

Lex's voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, and the Den Den Mushi imitated the appearance of a young blond man.

"Shouldn't we invite Roger to this war? His pirate group is quite powerful."

Shano asked about the huge war that Lex was about to start.

".....I have other plans, and Roger will not be involved."

Lex's words were very ambiguous. He didn't invite Roger, so how did he know that Roger would not participate?

Shanuo felt that Roger and Lex had a good relationship.

"More combat power means a better chance of victory, Lex."

"Brother Shanuo, you don't have to worry about this. We are already strong enough now. I don't think of completely overthrowing the government through this war. It's unrealistic. Besides, Roger is not completely uninvolved. Isn't he still pestering Garp?"

"...Okay, since it was all arranged by you, I will just follow you and fight Mary Joa. I'm done!"

"Well, goodbye, Brother Xia Nuo. I'll go drink with you sometime."

Bilibilibi——

The phone bug was hung up.

"Xiao Nuo, let's go back."

Beni stuffed the Den Den Mushi back into her treasure bag and said to Shanuo.

Xia Nuo was looking at the sea in front of him. The westernmost sea area of ​​the New World was covered with ice and snow all year round. At this time, a huge cumulonimbus cloud was gradually forming in the distant sky.

It heralds a snowstorm that is about to hit the Antalya Islands.

"Benny, what do you think Lex is trying to do? He wants to fight the government but he doesn't fight it completely. He obviously has more power but he chooses to hide it. I don't know what my brother thinks."

"Ah? I...I don't know either..."

Penny bit her lip and replied.

"Hahaha, okay, don't worry about Lex. No matter what he thinks, he is my brother and your brother, right, wife?"

Shanuo took Benny's hand and walked towards the depths of the island.

"Yep."
