A World-Shaking Blow

The man on the wanted poster wore a blue shirt, a red hat, and a red coat, with a mustache and a foolish smile on his face.

This seemingly unintelligent fellow was none other than the Pirate King recognized by the entire world—Roger.

Roger was the captain of the Roger Pirates, the first and only pirate crew in history to conquer the Grand Line.

He was the man who stood at the pinnacle of all pirates, and the owner of the legendary treasure, the One Piece.

In Garp's memories, Roger was a man easily provoked.

When Roger got angry, he became very impatient and willful, but his actions were as genuine and simple as a child's.

Roger greatly valued his nakama and therefore earned their deep trust.

For the safety of his companions, Roger would unhesitatingly shield them behind him when facing strong enemies. Until his companions were safe, he would absolutely not retreat, no matter how powerful the enemy.

Furthermore, Roger absolutely would not allow anyone to speak ill of his nakama. In the past, he had even destroyed the army of a country because someone slandered his companions.

Garp also said that even though he was in the Navy, he couldn't bring himself to hate Roger. That's why he promised Roger he would take good care of Ace. This showed how great Roger's personal charisma was.

Besides all this, when people mentioned Roger, most would think of the execution in Loguetown.

At that time, Roger was already near death. He said his last words to Rayleigh, "I'm not going to die," and then turned himself in to the Navy.

A single sentence from Roger before his execution sent countless people rushing headlong into the sea like madmen: "You want my treasure? If you want it, I'll give it to you all! Go search for it! I've left everything there."

This sentence gave hope to the people oppressed by the Celestial Dragons and nobles. They chose to set sail to find the One Piece.

In an instant, the number of pirates surged, and the order established by the World Government and the Celestial Dragons began to waver.

The pirates, in their struggle for the One Piece, began to carve out territories in the New World, thus forming the Great Pirate Era.

Mosen had a certain degree of goodwill towards Roger.

First of all, Roger was not a good person; that was beyond doubt. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Roger had ignited the Great Pirate Era, causing countless ordinary people to suffer, certainly didn't align with being a good person.

But Roger was not a bad person either. He chose to use his life to change the world, giving new hope to the ordinary people oppressed by the Celestial Dragons and nobles. Such a person could hardly be considered bad.

In Mosen's view, Roger's choice to use his life to ignite such a magnificent new era was more of a choice born out of helplessness.

Roger and his crew arrived at Laugh Tale too early. In Roger's own words, they were more than 20 years too early.

This meant that the real catalyst for changing the world would come more than 20 years later.

By this time, Roger was already terminally ill and could not possibly live for another 20 years.

That's why Roger chose to surrender, using his own life to usher in a new era, drawing more people to the Grand Line to prepare for the changes that would come in 20 years.

Of course, Roger was not a fool, nor was he someone who made selfless sacrifices. He also did not wish for the opportunity to change the world to fall into someone else's hands.

Thus, Roger left behind his bloodline in his final moments. He hoped that his child would be the one to lead the world's transformation, the new Joy Boy.

However, it was a pity that Roger's wish ultimately did not come to pass. His child did not become Joy Boy, but Roger's will was inherited by someone else.

The will of D, as it were, was never passed down through bloodline.

Thinking of this, Mosen's anticipation to meet this legendary Pirate King grew even stronger. He handed the wanted poster to Mia.

Mia rubbed her hands excitedly, then took the wanted poster and used the power of the Phantom Fruit.

In the blink of an eye, a phantom figure appeared out of thin air. His appearance was exactly the same as on the wanted poster.

But just by standing there, he made everyone feel immense pressure. Paddy stepped forward, shielding everyone behind her, and assumed a defensive stance.

"Mia, can you control this phantom to attack?" Mosen asked tentatively.

Mia nodded.

"Then let us witness the strength of the legendary Pirate King Roger!"

Mia willed it, and Roger's phantom drew the sword at his waist.

The next second, a powerful and unparalleled aura erupted from the figure, and blood-red lightning swept out in all directions.

The prisoners in Extreme Cold Hell could sense Roger's Conqueror's Haki.

After all, Extreme Cold Hell held prisoners with bounties over 100 million, so they weren't so easily knocked out by the aura of Conqueror's Haki.

But even so, they dared not make any sudden moves, merely standing frozen in place, staring in the direction of the Conqueror's Haki:

"What is this? Conqueror's Haki?"

"How is that possible! For someone's Conqueror's Haki to be this strong."

"My Conqueror's Haki is like a world of difference compared to this person's."

"This Conqueror's Haki feels so familiar, it's like Roger's Conqueror's Haki!"

Returning to Mosen's side, facing Roger's Conqueror's Haki, Mosen couldn't help but recall the scene when he and Garp went to the Infinite Hell and Byrnndi World used his Conqueror's Haki on him alone.

Mosen felt a similar sensation now, feeling like a blade of grass in a storm, liable to be uprooted at any moment.

However, the next second, something even more terrifying happened. The phantom figure swung the Supreme Grade Sword, Ace, in his hand.

Black lightning exploded, and a slash enveloped in black lightning shot straight into the sky.

A single slash imbued with Roger's Conqueror's Haki forcefully dispersed the dark clouds above Extreme Cold Hell. The snow, which had been falling incessantly in Extreme Cold Hell, actually stopped at this moment!

What followed was an earthquake-like tremor that shook the land.

At this moment, in the Scorching Hell on the upper level of Extreme Cold Hell, Magellan, who was squatting on the toilet, suddenly felt a violent tremor that almost threw him off the seat.

Magellan quickly pulled up his pants and ran out: "What happened? Did a giant sea king attack Impel Down? Or is it an earthquake?"

"Lord Magellan, it should be an earthquake. We didn't detect any giant sea kings approaching," Argo said, who happened to be there to report his work.

Magellan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "It wasn't a giant sea king attack? That's good!"

"Lord Magellan, what should we do next?"

"What else can we do? Hurry up and find the source of the earthquake and determine if any of Impel Down's facilities have been damaged!"

"Yes! I'll go do it now!" After saying that, Argo saluted and turned to run off.

Today I received a recommendation, but it was only a web recommendation. It felt like a promotion, but not a complete one. I'm a bit confused.
