Roger conquered the Grand Line, accomplishing a feat never before seen and earning the title of "Pirate King."
However, "Pirate King" was not a title Roger had given himself.
Roger and the others only learned through the newspapers that Roger had become the Pirate King because he had obtained "wealth, fame, and power."
Roger was very satisfied with the title "Pirate King."
However, this was actually a conspiracy.
That name would draw the attention of both the Marines and the pirates.
As the saying went, the bird that stuck its head out was the one that got shot.
The Marines had ample reason to eliminate Roger.
As for the pirates, they naturally wanted to attack Roger in order to seize his treasure.
Thus, the title of Pirate King had clearly been created to set Roger up.
In truth, the title of Pirate King was not important to Roger.
Nor did he care about the attention of the Marines and pirates.
Roger had fulfilled his dream.
However, he did not have much time left.
What he had to consider was how to make use of the time remaining to him.
Now that the journey had ended, it was time to part ways.
Thus, Roger announced the dissolution of the Roger Pirates.
In fact, the crew had already guessed it beforehand.
However, when Roger said the word "dissolution," the crew still could not bear it.
Roger chose to leave the ship first. As he disembarked, the crewmen behind him all shed tears, because this farewell would be eternal.
Roger's crew all knew that he had very little life left.
Before disembarking, he took a large quantity of medicine from the ship's doctor, Crocus.
Not long afterward, on a small island.
Roger and Whitebeard sat opposite each other, drinking and chatting.
