Chapter 234 Roger Does Not Play by the Rules
In the Admiral's office, Kong looked at a newspaper in his hand with a serious expression. Suddenly, he slammed the newspaper on the table and shouted angrily,
"One Piece? Damn One Piece!"
As the Admiral of the Navy, the appearance of a so-called "Pirate King" during his term of office would undoubtedly be an indelible stain in his naval career.
Especially since he was about to be transferred, which meant that his naval career would not have a "good end".
Moreover, this time it can be said that Roger's name truly surpassed Whitebeard and others, making him the only pirate overlord.
If he wanted to expand his power, he could easily recruit a large number of people to join him.
Giger didn't think in this direction at all, because this series of developments was proceeding according to his memory.
Now that Roger has become the Pirate King, the next step is for him to disband the pirate group and go to Baterila Island to find Ace.
So if you want to kill Roger in advance, you just need to go to Batalila Island to find him.
However, this time the development of things deviated from the original track.
What Kong was most worried about came true. The Roger Pirates, which had always been on the elite route, actually began to take the expansion route.
Roger occupied a large area of sea in the New World and began to recruit pirates to join him in an endless stream, accepting all who came.
Of course, the pirate group he recruited can only be regarded as joining Roger's team, that is, the so-called non-staff personnel.
The real members of Roger's pirate group are still the same group of people.
Except for Roger and Rayleigh, the other members were very displeased with the new non-staff members, and could even be said to be disgusted with them.
They all believed that Roger's current actions had completely deviated from the original intention of their pirate group, not to mention that Roger had previously told Shiki the Golden Lion that he had no ambition to rule.
But what is Roger doing now? Is he hitting himself in the face?
Roger also saw what the crew members were thinking. That day, at a banquet, Roger announced that he was seriously ill.
Before this, the only people who knew about Roger's condition were the ship's doctor Krocas and the second-in-command Rayleigh.
After learning the news, Shanks and others' first reaction was disbelief, or they were unwilling to believe it.
After all, how could a strong man like Roger, who stood at the top of the world and was in his prime, get sick just like that? And it was an incurable disease, which anyone would find unbelievable.
In the end, it was Krocas and Rayleigh who stood up to prove it to Roger, and they finally believed it.
Shanks and Buggy, the two youngest crew members, burst into tears, while Barrett clenched his fists and roared,
"Are you kidding me? I won't let you die like this!"
Hearing this, Roger suddenly laughed. He raised his head and took a big gulp of wine, saying,
"Barrett, I certainly won't die from this kind of disease. Even if I have to die, I'll die gloriously!"
After saying that, a domineering aura that seemed to be tangible burst out from Roger, and even a ship as solid as the Jackson began to have cracks on its deck.
At this moment, everyone on the boat, whether they had the domineering color or not, trembled. Barrett's face changed drastically, and he looked at Roger in shock.
What an amazing domineering color! It was completely different from what he had felt from Roger before!
"Hahahahahahahaha!!"
At this moment, Roger seemed like a different person. He covered his face and laughed wildly, as if he had seen something funny.
The others suddenly felt that the originally hard deck under their feet was becoming soft and elastic. Bucky couldn't help but jump, but ended up being bounced up.
Seeing this, Roger laughed even louder. Rayleigh, who had been silent, could no longer hold back and shouted,
"That's enough Roger! You've gone too far!"
“Hahaha, yeah, sorry, I just can’t help laughing, haha… bastard… hahaha… stop it!!!”
hum!
The domineering color released by Roger actually condensed into a thick crimson beam of light that shot out into the sky. When the beam of light dissipated, Roger's laughter finally stopped completely. He covered his chest with one hand and pressed the other hand on the ground, gasping for breath.
Rayleigh immediately stepped forward and helped Roger up.
Looking at Roger's pale profile, Rayleigh frowned and said in a deep voice,
"Roger, I'd better help you go back and rest. We can talk about the rest later."
Shanks and others also gathered around and looked at Roger with concern.
Roger coughed heavily a few times, forced a smile on his face, and said,
"It's okay. I'll be fine until my mission is completed. After all, I'm also D..."
Except for Rayleigh and Shanks, everyone else was confused.
What is the mission Roger is talking about? What does D mean?
Roger had no intention of explaining this. He shook Rayleigh off, glanced at the faces of the crew members, and said,
"As the captain, I declare that in three months, I will declare war on the navy!"
"Nani!?"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around them. Roger remained calm and said,
"I have to go out for a while now. Rayleigh will take over the pirate group temporarily. I will be back before the war starts."
After saying this, Roger turned and went into the cabin amid everyone's astonished gazes.
The next morning, Roger left the Jackson alone in a small boat, and no one knew where he went.
After Roger left, the expansion of Roger's pirate group continued, and soon the number of pirates swelled to 10,000. These pirates made the sea area occupied by Roger a mess, showing their "true colors" of pirates.
As the acting captain, Rayleigh took a tacit attitude towards this situation. Under such circumstances, the pirates became more and more unscrupulous. They felt comfortable with the support of the Pirate King and that the world belonged to them, the pirates.
Some people are not satisfied with just operating in this area of the sea, and they actively ask Rayleigh if they can expand their territory. Otherwise, they will just let the navy and the world government destroy them. They want to support Roger to become the king of the world!
In response, Rayleigh just laughed, said a few thought-provoking replies, and then sent these people away.
What these people didn't know was that in Rayleigh's heart, he had already regarded them as dead.
Do you really think it's so easy to join Roger's pirate group? If these people weren't still a little useful, Rayleigh would have to clean up the group himself.
