I Want to See Roger!

The southeastern sea area of New World is the territory of the Flying Pirates, and other pirate crews are rarely seen in this sea.

Most of them joined Shiki the Golden Lion's ranks under duress and enticement, while those who didn't were either sunk to the bottom of the sea or, if they were lucky, escaped to other places.

At this time, the sky near the Calm Belt in the North Blue Sea was a clear blue. In this part of the Grand Line, the climate near the Calm Belt is relatively stable.

Of course, sailing in this area is also a risky business for ordinary sailboats. If they are not careful, they may find that the ship is not moving and then be swallowed up by Sea Kings that leaps out from the sea.

But none of this mattered to the Flying Pirates.

Because they are in heaven!

Beneath the white clouds, thirty or forty sailboats of various sizes and models, but all bearing the same flag and skull pattern, floated silently in the air.

At their center, there is a rock formation that looks like a ship, complete with sails, but instead of a hull, it is a rock mass spanning several hundred square meters, covered with lush green herbs and exquisite houses and pavilions.

Perhaps to distinguish the front from the back, a golden lion's head hangs at one end of this 'floating Sky Island ship,' majestically overlooking the azure sea below.

"Hehehe!"

Suddenly, a domineering laugh echoed through the hard stone wall and resounded through the sky. At this time, Shiki was forty-six years old, which can be said to be in his prime, and his strength was at its peak.

He sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table, dressed in a gold skirt and trousers, and smiled at the dozen or so rows of nearly a hundred officials in front of him, "Do you all remember that Bundy Byrnndi World?"

Besides the wine bowls and two small dishes, the most conspicuous item on the coffee table was the latest World Economy News Paper, the contents of which were known only to him in the entire group.

This was the rule: he had to read the newspaper first every day before anyone else could read it.

"I remember, didn't he increase his bounty by 300 million a while ago, and even get the title of World Destroyer!"

"World Destroyer of bull! You're nothing but a coward who was scared out of his New World by us!"

Shiki listened to the chatter of those below, he pointed at the newspaper on the table and let out a cold laugh.

"That ungrateful bastard was just defeated Colonel a brat captain in his early twenties from the Navy. Right now, he should be on his way to Impel Down."

"What?!"

Some people might say, "How is that possible?", after all, Bondi Byrnndi World is actually quite strong.

But remembering how a few days ago a poor guy had been cleaved into the sea by Shiki because of those words, he quickly shut his mouth, though his expression remained the same as everyone else's.

It turns out that three years ago, Shiki the Golden Lion invited the World Pirates to join his fleet and promised to give Bundy Byrnndi World a Governor's position.

The Governor, or high-ranking officer, is second only to him in rank. Currently, the Flying Pirates only have three Governor.

They had hoped to gather the Grand Governor, but who knew that Bundy Byrnndi World was so shameless, daring to refuse even when he personally called to invite him!

Then came a year-long chase, but the More-More Fruit's ability to accelerate ships was too troublesome. Even though they could fly, they couldn't catch up with the World Pirates who were speeding across the sea.

Even so, Bundy Byrnndi World was still forced to flee the New World in a sorry state.

That's right. The World Pirates that Vidal and Issho encountered before were actually a bunch of stray dogs who had been driven out of the country.

This stray dog is just a bit too strong.

"Hey boss, what's the name of the Marine who defeated Byrnndi World?" asked the person sitting closest to Shiki.

Many of the Flying Pirates' officers below were also curious. Although they all wore disdainful expressions, they were secretly thinking of making a good note of it so they could act accordingly if the opportunity arose.

Because many of them simply couldn't beat Bondi Byrnndi World.

"Distribute the newspapers to them!"

After finishing his speech, Shiki lost interest. He casually gave an order to the servants, then poured himself a drink, drank it, and popped a golden peanut into his mouth.

Soon, newspapers were spread out in the hall, and the atmosphere became somewhat solemn. Vidal's appearance and name were officially revealed to these members of the New World's top pirate crew.

"Zephyr Training Camp student, is this Zephyr the first Marine Admiral in history to have his entire family wiped out by pirates?"

"Yes, it's him. This Special Training Camp doesn't seem very reliable. Garp's Special Training Camp might be more interesting."

"Ha, what can Garp do? He's no match for our boss!"

"You're focusing on the wrong thing. Look, this says this kid named Vidal has reached the level of Emission Haki outwards."

"Indeed, that alone is remarkable, especially considering he's a Special Paramecia Fruit user. By the way, what's Special Paramecia?"

"Oh, I heard it's a Paramecia with abilities similar to Logia, but I've never seen it."

"You guys haven't been here long. We've met one before; a few years ago, our leader led us in a fight against the Big Mom Pirates."

"There's a kid over there, about ten years old. I heard he's Charlotte Linlin's second son. His ability is the Special Paramecia Mochi-Mochi Fruit, which allows him to turn his body into mochi."

"Yes, yes, I remember him. I think his name is Katakuri. If I calculate the time, he should be seventeen years old this year?"

"So Forrest Vidal's ability is that his body can turn into wood? Trees?"

"That should be right, hmm. The Giant Horn, look here, the World Economy News Paper has given this navy brat the title of 'Horn of Justice'."

"Sound the 'Call of Justice' and defeat the 'World Destroyer' single-handedly!"

"Sounds pretty intimidating. I wonder when this kid will come to the New World. Let me see what that lousy horn he's blowing sounds like?"

"Ha ha!"

Just as everyone was chatting animatedly, drinking sake and eating snacks, a pirate suddenly ran in from outside the main hall.

He was seen running hurriedly on the red carpet, stopping abruptly before reaching the Steps of the Shiki. At this point, the cadres gradually noticed what was happening and quickly quieted down.

"What is it?" Shiki asked, his eyes squinting with a hint of drunkenness.

"Boss! The Roger Pirates have gone crazy and are causing trouble at Big Mom's Totto Land!"

"Roger." Upon hearing this, Shiki exuded an aura of Haki, instantly dispelling the drunkenness in his mind, and even stood up.

"What is he planning? Roger isn't the kind of man who likes to provoke others. He must have some reason, a goal he'd achieve even if it meant facing Charlotte Linlin head-on!"

Over the years, Shiki the Golden Lion had invited Roger to join him countless times, even offering him the position of first mate.

But he was rejected time and time again. He fought Roger more than a dozen times because of this, with the bet being that if he won, Roger would have to become his first mate.

Although it was his unreasonable unilateral agreement, his Flying Pirates is still missing a vice-captain.

"Hehehe!"

Let's go take a look!

Shiki burst into wild laughter, and at the same time, an invisible ripple spread out, and the next moment, the entire Flying Pirates, dozens of pirate ships, moved!

Although such a large-scale incursion into another party's territory was tantamount to provocation, he didn't care!

No one can stop him from seeing Roger, hahaha!

Little Pink, how can I possibly thank you? This latest 500-yuan donation has brought tears to my eyes. Let me sing you a song!

Singing: "Friends for life, those days are gone, one word, a lifetime."
