In a certain sea area of New World, in the shallow waters beneath the surface, several enormous sea monsters rapidly broke through the water and moved forward.

What's astonishing is that these sea creatures are all bound by thick chains, and at the ends of these chains is a large ship encased in enormous bubbles.

Wow, that was fast!

Roger, his body wrapped in numerous bandages, stood at the bow of the large ship, gazing up at the shimmering waves through the deep water. "No wonder Roa's weapons can sell all over the world! You guys really deserve a lot of credit."

"It's simply a matter of each getting what they need."

Not far behind Roger, the red-skinned Fish-Man, Fisher Tiger, who had been summoned by Roa to escort Roger to the Neo Marine Headquarters, remained calm.

"You were there when we first discussed the collaboration. We helped him deliver goods, and he paid us high wages."

Fisher Tiger, the leader of Fish-Man District and also the head of Deep Sea Logistics Company, paused for a moment, then said, "At least he kept his promises. Apart from the money, we can really move freely on the sea, and in the past two years we've traveled to every sea in the world."

"But, Fisher Tiger,"

Roger turned around. "What's the price?"

Fisher Tiger remained silent.

What are the costs behind all these gains?

Can Fish-Man Island still distance itself from the Calamity Company?

Or rather, when Roa was about to extend his reach into their homeland, who could stand up and stop him?

Roger observed his reaction but said nothing more, only gently shaking his head.

Roa probably already coveted Fish-Man Island, and that coveted it even more after learning of Poseidon's existence.

He will absolutely not let Fish-Man Island go.

But I can't do anything about it.

Everything can only be entrusted to those who come after.

Roger remained silent, but Fisher Tiger couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Roger, were those wounds on your body inflicted by Roa?"

Fisher Tiger was quite startled when he picked Roger up from Roa's place the day before yesterday.

This guy is a monster, isn't he?

Despite suffering such injuries, her body almost torn to pieces, she was still able to chat and laugh with him.

But even more monstrous things were yet to come.

In just two days, Roger had gone from being extremely weak to being full of energy. In a few more days, his injuries should be completely healed, right?

What kind of monstrous physique is this?!

He truly deserves the title of the pirate with the highest bounty in the world. He conquered the Grand Line like never before and obtained the legendary Great Treasure, thus becoming the Pirate King!

But what's even more terrifying is that someone was able to injure this Pirate King to this extent!

"Throat."

Roger sighed. "You, you bring up such embarrassing things right off the bat."

So, is that really true?

Fisher Tiger's pupils trembled.

Is Roa's strength actually superior to that of the Pirate King?

He asked instinctively, "So, the Great Treasure is also—" Fisher Tiger,

Roger interrupted him directly, "We've known each other for a long time. Last year in the New World, whether it was evading the pirate alliance's pursuit or helping us escape later, we couldn't have done it without your help. So, I have a piece of advice for you."

"Roa is determined to take Fish-Man Island; you should prepare as soon as possible."

"·..."

Fisher Tiger was somewhat stunned.

Then, he scratched his head, a bitter smile on his face, "So Roger, what do you think we should do to prepare?"

Roger fell silent.

He took a deep breath.

"Throat."

Only a sigh echoed in the sea.

Neo Marine Headquarters.

Since Marineford was completely destroyed by pirates a year ago, this former Marine G-1 base has become the new Marine Headquarters.

In today's New World, this massive base is the de facto front line of the navy.

After all, not far from this island lies the sea area occupied by Captain John, one of the Seven Monarchs of the New World.

To guard against potential pirate attacks, the Navy has amassed a large number of troops here, and the port is filled with large warships.

However, despite accumulating such a large force, the navy only engaged in defense and showed no intention of launching any offensive.

The reason is simple: even the lowest-ranking marines know that if they were to start another war with the pirate alliance, no one could predict what the outcome would be.

Not all of the Seven Monarchs are powerful, but there are indeed some who are incomprehensibly powerful.

And when their power is combined, the entire world will be shaken.

We must, we must wait for the right opportunity.

Even if the price of waiting is increasing public criticism of the navy.

On this day, a small boat rapidly approached New Marineford.

The navy, always on high alert for monsters in the New World, spotted the approaching small boat immediately.

"The ship? Has it received an application to enter the port?"

No! It's not our ship!

"Warn him and make him identify himself!"

While the officers on the port were giving orders, the lookout with binoculars saw something that he could hardly believe.

"That! That's it!!"

The lookout's hands, holding the binoculars, trembled violently. His forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat, and his teeth chattered incessantly.

"Yes! Yes! It's Pirate King!!"

"What!!"

The officer's voice on the port instantly became shrill, "Are you serious?"

"There's no mistake! It's definitely Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King!"

"Sound the alarm! Report this news to Fleet Admiral Sengoku immediately!"

Buzz!!

A piercing alarm had already sounded on the island, and the naval personnel throughout the island looked up blankly, then their faces instantly showed surprise.

Is it a pirate alliance attacking?

On the small boat that was rapidly approaching.

Roger, who was paddling furiously, also heard the alarm.

"Hahaha! Looks like I don't need to say hello!"

Laughing, he put down the oar and stood up from the small boat.

Well then, I hope everything goes well.

The development that Roa hoped for was also what he was looking forward to.

Only when more people head towards the sea, and only when the existing order is completely shaken, can change have a chance to emerge.

Whether it was Shanks, Robin, or anyone else, Roger firmly believed that someone else would eventually step forward and change everything.

"Hahaha! Let's begin! Goel D. Roger, the final adventure!"

The Pirate King leaped from the small boat, treading on the air as he sped towards the massive fortress of justice ahead.

Before the navy could even organize a defense, they watched helplessly as a dark shadow streaked across the sky and crashed like a meteor into the wide plaza in front of the base building.

Roger emerged from the billowing smoke, glanced at the stunned naval soldiers around him, and gave them a gentle smile. He even raised his hand in greeting.

"Hey, hello everyone."

Roger has landed!!

At the same moment, inside the massive headquarters building.

"What? Roger! He came alone?!"

The Fleet Admiral slammed his hand down on the heavy desk in front of him, shattering it, and his muscular body sprang to his feet.

His Observation Haki unconsciously spread out.

As expected, a powerful aura was already within inches!

Are you crazy?!

There was even a moment of bewilderment Sengoku.

He even came all by himself!

They completely disregard this great fortress of justice!!

Roger!!

Before they could figure it out, an excited roar shook the entire base building.

"Garp!"

Sengoku gritted his teeth and, without any hesitation, also launched himself out, smashing through the window and plummeting towards the plaza below.

It's already clearly visible now!

That figure in the square!

Roger!

It really is this guy!

What exactly is his conspiracy?

Could it be that they've joined forces with the monsters of the New World?

Let him out to draw attention, then the other monsters swarm in and completely destroy the navy's foundation?

"Roger! You bastard, now that you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, you're not getting away this time!!"

A brilliant meteor fell from the sky, and the man bearing the name of Marine Hero, trailing a thick, imposing Inazuma of Haki, crashed down on Roger like a comet.

"Fist Bone - Galaxy!"

Roger looked up at his old rival, who was descending from the sky with a deadly attack, but with a strange smile on his face. Roger smiled back.

Roger raised his hands. "I surrender."

"What?"

Garp, who was about to deliver a powerful punch as the creature fell from the sky, was stunned by its reaction.

Surrender?

Is this something Roger would say?

"Don't try to fool me! How many times do you think we've fought each other!"

Garp instinctively thought Roger was lying, but as he fell, his fist was about to smash into Roger's face, and the guy still didn't react at all.

So, in the instant of the fall, Garp's fist split into claws, grabbed Roger by the neck, and slammed him hard to the ground.

"Roger! What do you mean?!"

Garp's eyes were filled with disbelief.

He really didn't resist, letting me grab his vitals without any resistance?

Roger, what on earth are you up to?

"Can't you see I didn't even bring a weapon?"

Roger simply smiled and said, "Garp, I'm here to turn myself in."

My beloved knife is still in that bastard Roa's hands, so I don't have a suitable weapon to fight with.

You said, "I'll turn myself in?"

The Sengoku who had just landed also had an expression of disbelief on his face.

Are you kidding me!

The most legendary pirate on the high seas, who has been at odds with the Navy for decades, is now saying he's turning himself in?

"No matter what conspiracy you're plotting, once you're here, you're not leaving!"

Sengoku didn't believe it at all, but that didn't stop him from rushing over in an instant and, together with Garp, firmly restraining Roger.

"Now that I'm here, I'm not leaving."

Roger offered no resistance whatsoever, his attitude as relaxed as if he were on vacation. "I already told you, I'm here to turn myself in. At least have some trust in me."

Sengoku and Garp looked at each other.

So, what on earth is this guy up to?

Roger was soon imprisoned in the deepest part of New Marineford dungeons.

He was bound with thick Seastone chains.

To ensure safety, Garp the Hero and Fleet Admiral Sengoku personally guarded the area.

Meanwhile, the marines at headquarters were on high alert, fearing that Roger might have some kind of scheme and that someone would attack immediately.

But they were indeed overthinking it. After Roger was captured, the New World was peaceful. Not to mention those monsters, even the Roger Pirates remained silent.

Garp and Sengoku sat side by side outside the prison, their eyes fixed intently on Roger was bound like a dumpling inside the cell by Seastone.

Can't you relax a little bit?

Roger writhed on the ground like a caterpillar, complaining, "Now that I've already come to turn myself in, of course I won't run away again. You can all rest assured."

"Don't try anything funny, Roger."

Sengoku said sternly, "We will not give you any opportunity to take advantage of us!"

"No matter what you're plotting to become famous, you'll never succeed!"

"Plan? Sigh,"

Roger shook his head helplessly. "I already said I came to turn myself in. What kind of schemes and tricks are these?"

"Roger, do you think we're idiots?!"

Sengoku merely sneered, "You'd better explain your purpose clearly!"

"Indeed, I'm also very curious about your purpose."

An aged voice rang out.

With the crisp sound of leather shoes clicking on the floor, a figure slowly emerged from the dark corridor.

Sengoku quickly stood up and bowed slightly to the newcomer, "Saint Saturn, you've arrived."

The newcomer was dressed in a black suit, wearing an overcoat, with a full white beard and a small black hat. He was none other than Lucy Saint Saturn, one of the Five Elders.

Garp raised his hand, picked his nose, and nodded to the Five Elders who held the highest power in the world, which was his way of greeting them.

Satan didn't seem to care much about Garp's attitude; he simply walked outside the prison, stood down, and looked down at Roger, who resembled a caterpillar.

"State your purpose, you king of scum."

"Oh! The Five Elders have all come in person? What an honor!"

Roger laughed heartily, "Speaking of which, it's been many years since we last saw each other, hasn't it?"

"Answer my question."

Satan glared at Roger.

Roger was struck by an invisible force and sent flying, crashing heavily into the wall.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you the truth then, please don't hit me."

Roger looked up with a hint of helplessness. "Actually, it's because I have a terminal illness."

"Terminal illness?"

The Fleet Admiral, the Marine Hero, and the Five Elders were all stunned at the same time.

Then very quickly.

Satan had already received a medical report, and after reading it, his gaze towards Roger held a hint of satisfaction.

This is what happens when you go against the government!

"The report says you don't have many years to live, but that still doesn't explain why you turned yourself in."

"Because I want to make a deal with you!"

Roger grinned, revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth. "The Roger Pirates have disbanded, but my crew will continue to live on these high seas."

"From now on, don't cause them any more trouble. My title as the Pirate King is enough for you to boast about and establish your authority, isn't it?"

"Foolish pirates."

Satan chuckled. "You're already in our hands, so why do you think we'd accept your so-called deal?"

"Is that so?"

Roger smirked. "In that case, my companions will have to spread the word about what we saw on the Laugh Tale."

Satan's expression suddenly froze.

He turned around instantly, "Sengoku, Garp, you two go out first."

"But, Saint Saturn, leaving you alone with this guy—"

The Sengoku was somewhat hesitant.

"That's an order!"

Satan showed him no respect whatsoever.

"Yes."

Sengoku could only leave with Garp.

After confirming that they could no longer hear the conversation, Satan glared fiercely at Roger.

"What exactly do you know?"

"What did you learn?"

Roger chuckled softly.

Should I tell this guy that Roa also went to the Laugh Tale?

If he speaks out, Roa will become the World Government's primary target.

He is no match for Imu now.

But.

Forget it.

The World Government hasn't even been able to catch up with Roger Pirates in the past year or so, let alone the cunning Roa.

Moreover, Roa is a true madman; he doesn't care about the fate of this world.

Once he realizes he's been betrayed, he'll expose everything immediately.

By then, everything will truly be over.

So Roger just smiled knowingly, "For example, Imu?"

"Shut up!!"

Satan roared furiously, his violent aura surging forth, "How dare you call me by that name!"

His chest heaved violently.

They really do know something!

Lord Imu's existence has been made known!

"Tell me everything you know!!" Satan hissed, "Or I'll have to teach you a lesson!"

"Don't make it sound so scary."

Roger's smile remained undiminished. "It's just a boring piece of history. Since you're not going to cause trouble for my companions, we certainly won't bother leaking it out."

"The treasure is in my hands now; all I want is for my companions to live out their remaining years in peace."

Satan gritted his teeth!
