Chapter 237 The Person Chosen by Roger

Tezulo and Stella bowed gratefully, then held each other's hands tightly and stood firmly behind Jin An.

The two people's eyes revealed immense determination and hope for the future.

Jin An sighed softly, feeling both moved and helpless.

He knew he had said everything he could to persuade them to back off, but the two men's determination made it impossible for him to refuse.

He finally nodded and agreed.

"Okay, you guys go to the naval port and wait."

Tezulo and Stella had a happy smile on their faces. They bowed deeply again to express their gratitude, then turned around and walked towards the port hand in hand.

Rayleigh said softly,

“Sometimes, seeing others happy is also a kind of happiness.”

Jin An nodded, a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes.

"Yeah, I hope what happened today won't leave a shadow in their hearts."

The two stood there, silently watching the figures going away, and they both felt very much in agreement and blessings for the two people in their hearts.

Rayleigh watched the two figures disappear from his sight, and finally asked the question in his mind,

"So, Roger's knife is in the hands of your navy?"

Jin An was slightly stunned, then he understood what Lei Li meant.

He knew the deep affection between Roger and Rayleigh, and understood that Rayleigh's request was full of longing and respect for his old friend.

Rayleigh's eyes flashed with deep expectation and desire.

"I want to build a cenotaph for Roger, and I hope you can tell me where 'Ace' is."

"I can give you what the Navy wants in exchange."

Jin An was silent for a while, weighing the weight of these words in his mind.

He knew the importance of 'Ace' and understood Rayleigh's feelings.

However, this is not an easy question to answer.

"Uh......"

"'Ace' Roger has entrusted me with this. I..."

Jin An said slowly.

Hearing Jin An's words, Lei Li's face changed instantly. He seemed to sober up instantly. He rushed to Jin An and grabbed Jin An's shoulders with both hands. His eyes were full of anxiety and surprise.

"You said Roger entrusted 'Ace' to you!?"

Jinan nodded.

"Yeah, but unfortunately I'm still practicing using dual swords, so I only have the Yanling Sword with me."

As he spoke, he patted the knife on his waist and said with emotion, "Thanks to Tian Yueshi for helping me bring the knife back from the battlefield, otherwise I would have been troubled."

Rayleigh murmured to himself,

"Strange, Roger regards this sword as extremely important, and he actually gave it to Jin An like this. It seems something else happened."

Jin An looked at Lei Li, understood his feelings, and said softly,

"Rayleigh, I understand how you feel, but now is not the time to discuss this."

"And there's no need for you to seek a cenotaph for Roger..."

Rayleigh took a deep breath, shook his head, let go of Jin An's shoulders, and interrupted him.

"That won't do. We've been friends for so many years, I have to do something for him."

He knew that the person in front of him was not on the same side as him, and he also understood Jin An's position.

"Since Ace Roger has entrusted his life to you, I will think of other ways... I hope you won't bury Ace!"

Jin An was convinced by Rayleigh. Are these people so good at imagining things? He clearly hasn't finished speaking yet.

He explained with some reluctance,

"I mean, Roger doesn't really care about this stuff."

"He was able to use his limited life to reach a height that others could never reach in their entire lives, leaving a name on this ocean. He no longer needed something as meaningless as a cenotaph."

After he said this, there was something else in his mind that he hadn't said out loud: Roger had actually been secretly buried by the navy.

But only a very few people know about this.

Rayleigh was silent for a moment, then whispered,

"Maybe you're right. I miss the old days too much."

He laughed at himself, turned around and looked into the distance.

"Kid, if you need any help in the future, just come to me."

"Although I have retired, I still have some strength."

The dusty history they knew was too heavy.

Moreover, Ace carries Roger's will. Since Roger has handed over his will, he is willing to trust Roger.

As he spoke, Reilly waved to Jin An, holding the bottle of wine, and with steady and powerful steps, he gradually disappeared into the shadows between the houses.

Jin An looked at Rayleigh's receding back with mixed feelings. He had respect for the old pirate, but also had emotions about his past with Roger.

"Bulu Bulu... Bulu Bulu..."

The Den Den Mushi in Jinan's arms suddenly rang.

Jin An slapped his forehead suddenly.

"Oops……"

He quickly answered the phone.

"Jin'an, where have you been... I can't find you anywhere..."

The somewhat aggrieved voice of Tianyue came from the Den Den Mushi.

Jin An said hurriedly,

"Sorry, something happened here. I'll be right back."

"What happened? Are you okay? Are you in trouble? Where are you now? I'll come to you right away."

Tian Yueshi's voice sounded a little panicked.

Jin An quickly comforted him.

"I'm fine, just wait for me here, I'll be back soon."

After hanging up the Den Mushi, Jin An felt a little guilty.

Tian Yueshi had been waiting for him, while he was here dealing with all this chaos.

He looked up and around, the situation in the illegal area made him frown. He really didn't want Tian Yueshi to come into contact with such a place.

He quickly left the chaotic street, his mind still processing what had just happened.

The current situation of the Sabaody Archipelago is deliberately maintained by the World Government.

Various forces are intertwined here, and the water is extremely deep.

All kinds of outrageous things can happen at any time.

Just like now.

When Jin An hurried to where Tian Yueshi was, he saw several strong men lying at her feet.

He was still holding the specialty he had just bought. He paused for a moment, then handed the specialty to Tianyue and asked:

“Who are these people…?”

Tian Yueshi kicked the unconscious man and said calmly:

"They said they would take me to see something nice."

Her tone was calm with a hint of disdain.

"I said I was waiting for someone, but they tried to force me."

"And then it became like this."

She shrugged, looking helpless and innocent.

Jin'an looked at the burly men on the ground who were obviously street thugs. He secretly admired Tian Yueshi's skills, but at the same time he felt a little worried.

He gently patted Tian Yueshi's shoulder and said soothingly:

"I'm glad you're okay. I'll take care of these people."

Tian Yueshi said speechlessly:

"How can these people be so weak? Are they trying to blackmail me?"

Jin An shook his head and smiled:

"This is the Sabaody Archipelago. All kinds of messed up things can happen."

"Most of the people you meet are just ignorant hooligans."

Tian Yueshi nodded, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes:

"This place is such a mess. It's a waste of time to have such a good environment. If I had known this, I wouldn't have come here."

Jin An held her hand and said gently:

"We'll leave soon and go to a quieter place."

He looked back at the thugs on the ground and a hint of anger flashed through his heart.
