"In other words, Roger and his crew used the 'coordinates' to foresee everything that was going to happen, arrived in Loguetown, and knew that the seas would be turned upside down in the future... what the New World would be like. The original One Piece, Joy Boy, his mission... was to unite all life and races at sea to overcome the 'calamity' caused by the celestial anomaly and open the door to New World together."

"The Celestial Dragons, on the other hand, do not want... those former royal families to dominate a new world, rather than starting on the same footing as everyone else."

"In other words, although the title of One Piece was bestowed upon him by the World Government, the first One Piece was actually a brilliant and selfless hero?"

"Or perhaps, the true mission of One Piece, sailing the seas, is not to burn, kill, and plunder, but rather to help the whole world 'be united'?"

"Are we... the ones who are righteous?"

"Roger wanted to use the One Piece to let more people see the truth of this world and awaken more people?"

"And... to redeem One Piece and let the world understand the so-called 'One Piece' again?"

The ship was completely silent.

Only on one deck could one hear the constant gasps of the crew, who were intently watching the live broadcast from Marineford.

They did not notice anything unusual about the cadres on the second floor.

After pondering for a long time, Dom was the first to speak.

You can understand it that way.

Oboro replied.

The others looked at Bare. Only Bare, who had been to Laugh Tale and knew the truth, could judge Oboro's guesses or opinions.

"Bored, aren't you?"

However, Bare didn't say whether it was right or wrong, he just grinned, revealing a row of big white teeth, and chuckled.

There are many kinds of One Piece, and undeniably, among the crews sailing the seas, there are some with attributes similar to the Roger Pirates ... the very crew Roger sought to 'gather' to usher in the Great Pirate Era. His aim was to make the current corrupt One Piece aware of the problems they face.

However... even as the One Piece era continues to this day, there are very few people like Roger.

Not mainstream.

Bare, who was once a member of Roger Pirates, was incompatible with Roger, Rayleigh, and the others.

He had no intention of becoming a 'hero' at all. In fact, he believed that One Piece should fight and kill without restraint and without any laws.

Moreover, becoming a 'hero' isn't so easy.

Not everyone possesses the power to 'connect' the entire ocean. At least in the eyes of ordinary people, One Piece are synonymous with 'stench'... The World Government's centuries-long efforts to vilify One Piece have not been in vain.

As long as I'm doing well, why should I care about others' lives? The all-consuming ocean, hailed as the 'Mother of Nature,' treats everyone equally... If the truth were revealed, knowing their own survival would be in jeopardy, who would willingly relinquish resources to others, especially regarding the Celestial Dragons? Take the Heavenly Tribute, for example... It's likely that all the member states, knowing their fate was sealed, would prioritize self-preservation. This would be tantamount to all nations rebelling and no longer obeying the Celestial Dragons.

A classic case of everyone feeling insecure.

Some opportunists even believe that as long as they hold out until the New World arrives, they can completely replicate the actions of the Celestial Dragons eight hundred years ago, and seize power in the New World.

From a human perspective, those who can truly be selfless are extremely rare.

"What... this is the truth?"

After Dom and Bare spoke up, Dorans also looked disgusted.

People are different; he's not Roger... and he doesn't want to be a savior.

Even if the seawater submerges everything, with Oboro's abilities and the Hell Pirates, they pose no threat whatsoever.

"If it's really gold and silver treasure, I'd be quite interested... I never imagined that the famous One Piece Roger would be such a fool."

Kaka also made a comment.

"We're not the One Piece he thinks we are... How should I put it? This is so boring... If everyone becomes One Piece, who wants to be a good person? Hahahaha!!!"

"His thinking is wrong!"

"Hey... you guys, tone it down a bit."

Crocodile said coldly, "Watch the live stream."

As someone who witnessed Roger's execution firsthand, he felt a complex mix of emotions upon learning the truth, though not exactly disappointed. Perhaps there truly is someone in this world who, as Roger hoped, possesses the ability to become a savior, making One Piece no longer despised, and even turning them into legendary figures... Or perhaps one day in the New World, One Piece will cease to exist, the Marines will disappear, and everyone will shake hands and become one big family.

But... he's not that kind of person, and he doesn't want to be.

There isn't a single person like that in the entire Hell Pirates.

This... is not how One Piece should be.

No one dwelled on the 'truth'; they treated it as a joke and continued watching the curtain fall.

However, Oboro still noticed that, apart from Bare, everyone else was more or less distracted.

The most distracted one was Rob Lucci.

Part of the truth shook Rob Lucci's 'dark justice'.

His stance doesn't seem to be as 'pure' as he thought.

Especially when it comes to the Celestial Dragons.

Why did Oboro reveal the truth?

The reason is simple: the members he recruited were not the type to follow the One Piece.

Except for old men like Crocodile and Waldo.

When the truth is revealed at this point, it will extinguish the 'restless' flames in their hearts.

Roger's attempt to cover up the truth only made things worse, because if he revealed the truth, at least half of the One Piece would probably lose their enthusiasm for going to sea.

Using treasure as bait is the most effective and powerful method.

Having gained a basic understanding of the world, the next step... or rather, what can shift their 'center of gravity'.

Then there are only worldly things.

Money, power, fame, destruction... You don't need to wait for the New World to open; with your current strength, you can have them 'within your grasp'.

The only obstacle in their path was a large mountain.

World Government... Celestial Dragons!

What they want... is this world!

Just like Blackbeard Teach's ambitions.

This is the intention behind Oboro.

Let everyone share the same goal.

"One year and three months after Gol D. Roger's death, you, who inherited the world's most evil bloodline, were born."

On screen, the focus remains on Sengoku and Ace.

The voices of the Sengoku were powerful and resonant.

As the video played, everyone gradually regained their composure.

"The most evil? Captain, I remember the World Government's bounty poster clearly stated that you were the most vicious and unforgivable criminal... So logically, shouldn't you be the most evil person? Roger is not evil at all."

Kaka raised his arm and called out.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Hehe."

Kaka's words brought different smiles to the faces of the Hell Pirates.

"Don't rush, I will become the most evil person in their eyes... soon."

"I really like this title..."

Long gazed at the Sengoku depicted in the painting, smiling.
