Chapter 13 The Eve of Roger's Execution

In August of the Haiyuan calendar 1497, another piece of news that shocked the world came from the Navy Headquarters.

The Pirate King Goldo Roger was captured by the Navy and will be executed in Roger's hometown of Roger Town in October.

(ps: At that time, in order to conceal the affairs of the D family, the World Government changed Roger's name on the bounty order from Gold D Roger to Gold Roger or Gold Roger)

In September 1497 of the Sea Circle Calendar, because Golden Lion Shiki did not believe that Roger would be easily arrested by the navy, he attacked Marinford.

Since Shige the Golden Lion was no match for Sengoku who had become a marshal and Garp who had become a naval hero, Shige the Golden Lion was defeated and imprisoned in the Impel Down Prison.

Ling Tian looked at the newspaper in his hand and thought about it before deciding to go to Rogue Town to watch Roger's execution and the beginning of the Great Pirate Era.

Then Ling Tian created a physical clone and rowed a small boat towards Rogue Town.

In order to complete the system's mission, Ling Tian's real body must stay in Redoria, but Ling Tian's physical clone can leave.

Coincidentally, Ling Tian just happened to draw a physical clone yesterday.

Advance City Prison

Garp arrived at Impel Down on a warship.

"Vice-Admiral Garp"

Magellan said respectfully as he walked out of Impel Down.

He had already received news that Garp was coming to Impel Down, so he greeted him at the gate early in the morning.

"Well, I'm going to go see Roger. You don't need to follow me."

Cap did not allow Magellan and other navy officers to follow him, nor did he allow his deputy Bogart to follow him.

Advance City Sixth Floor

"Why did you turn yourself in, Roger?"

Garp stood in front of Roger and spoke.

"Garp, I don't have much time left, so I want to ask you for a favor."

Roger didn't answer, but asked Cap.

"What"

"On Batalila Island, my wife, Portgas D. Luju, and my unborn child."

"After I die, the World Government will search for my bloodline at all costs. I hope you can protect him."

Roger looked at Garp across from him and explained.

"Don't be ridiculous, Roger, I'm a navy man."

Garp said angrily.

"Garp, our friendship was forged through battle after battle. I believe you will agree to my last request."

After saying that, Roger sat back in prison. He believed that Cap would agree to him.

Karp didn't say anything and just left.

October 1497, 10, Haiyuan calendar. Today is the day before Roger is executed in Rogue Town.

After a month of sailing, Ling Tian finally arrived at Rogue Town.

There is still one day before Roger is executed, so Ling Tian plans to go to the tavern to take a look.

Ling Tian opened the door of a pub at random and walked in.

Ling Tian walked into the pub and found that there were many acquaintances there.

Red-haired Shanks, a former member of Roger's pirate group and later one of the Four Emperors of the Sea.

Shanks is still a child now. Although Shanks is a child, his strength now is probably stronger than when he first boarded Rocks' ship.

The captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division, Phoenix Marco.

Buggy the Clown, a former member of Roger's Pirates, later one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and one of the "Four Emperors" of the Sea.

When Ling Tian came in, they did not notice Ling Tian. After all, there were so many people coming in and out of the tavern every day, it was impossible for them to just take a look at someone who came in.

What's more, Marco, Shanks and others are now famous pirates in the New World.

"Can I sit here?"

Ling Tian walked to Marco's desk and spoke.

“Brother Lingtian!!!”

Marco heard the voice and looked up to see Ling Tian excitedly.

"Long time no see, Marco"

"Long time no see, Brother Lingtian"

"Is Newgate all right?"

Ling Tian sat down and asked Marco.

"Ah, Dad is fine, but ever since Brother Ling Tian gave Dad the box of wine he always complained that the wine on the ship was not tasty."

Marco said helplessly.

"Really? I thought Newgate would stop drinking."

Ling Tian said as he recalled that when Ling Tian was training in the Rocks Pirates, Newgate was always there drinking and watching him train.

"Brother Lingtian"

Just as Lingtian was thinking, Shanks stood up from his seat and said to Lingtian.

"What is it, Shanks?"

Ling Tian looked at Shanks who suddenly called him in confusion.

Because Shanks and Ling Tian had already known each other at the banquet in Redoria, and Shanks saw that he could suppress Roger and Newgate and insisted on calling him uncle.

As a result, Ling Tian naturally let Shanks taste his iron fist of love.

"I am only 29 years old, why call me uncle?"

Of course, this was Ling Tian’s age at the time. Now Ling Tian is 31 years old.

After Ling Tian's Iron Fist of Love, Shanks started calling him "Big Brother". Then Marco also called Ling Tian "Big Brother" after seeing this.

"Brother Lingtian, is the sword on your waist Ace?"

Shanks stared at Ace on Lingtian's waist and spoke.

"Oh, yes, this is what Roger gave me."

Ling Tian said indifferently.

Ling Tian didn't care, but the pirates in the tavern were shocked.

Not only the other pirates, but even Marco was shocked.

Ace, that is the sword of the Pirate King, Ace, one of the 12 supreme swords.

However, the old saying is true: where there is wealth there must be courage.

"Hey, kid, hand over the Pirate King's sword."

A group of pirates who didn't know Ling Tian stood up and spoke.

This is the sword of the Pirate King. As long as you get the sword, you will definitely become famous on the sea in the future. Not to mention becoming the new generation Pirate King, it should not be a problem for you to become like Whitebeard.

"Oh, you want to steal my sword?"

Ling Tian didn't even look at them but spoke lightly.

“Cut the nonsense”

As they said this, they were about to attack Ling Tian.

When Ling Tian saw them attacking, he was about to kill them, but before Ling Tian could make a move, Marco blasted them out with the door using a phoenix fire.

"You guys think you can attack Brother Ling Tian? You don't know whether you live or die."

Marco walked up to the group of pirates and spoke.

"You...you are the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' First Division, Phoenix Marco."

Some pirates recognized Marco and shouted.

"Get out of here! You bastards are not worthy of taking Roger's sword."

"As expected of the captain of the First Squadron on the Newgate ship, he is really amazing."

Ling Tian came out of the tavern and said.

"hey-hey"

Marco scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly when he heard Ling Tian's compliment.

Ling Tian looked at the silly grinning Marco and thought about Marco's future achievements. After thinking for a while, he took out a capsule from the system space and gave it to Marco.

“Eat this.”

Ling Tian said to Marco.

"this is?"

Marco asked with some doubt.

"Don't talk nonsense, eat it, it can increase your strength"

Ling Tian explained to Marco.

Marco swallowed the capsule as soon as he heard Ling Tian's words.

This capsule was obtained by Ling Tian in a lottery. It can allow the person who eats it to gain the ability of ice. It can be regarded as an ice fruit without side effects, but it cannot turn Marco into an element.
