As he spoke, Croccus took an envelope from his chest pocket. The wax seal on it showed that the letter had never been opened.
"What is this?"
"I don't know. You may not believe this, but not long after Roger became the so-called Pirate King, the Roger Pirates officially disbanded.
After that, Roger himself was the first to leave. No one knew what he went to do. Perhaps Rayleigh guessed a little.
In any case, he gave this to me before he left.
Roger believed that after leaving the crew, I would definitely come here someday, so he asked me to pass it on to you."
After handing the envelope to Oran, Croccus cleared his throat again before saying, "Oh, right. Roger also had something he wanted me to tell you.
'Doctor, thanks for the medicine. There were some things I wanted to tell you in person, but that would probably cause you trouble. The rest is in the letter.'
Yes, that's exactly what Roger said."
Oran shook the envelope, but did not sense anything inside. He opened it directly in front of Croccus without trying to hide anything.
[Doctor, by the time you read this letter, I may already be dead, or I may still be alive. I'm very curious about the future, but this is probably where I belong.
You may not know this, but I have a very special ability. When I left Firefly Island back then, I could sense one of your thoughts. It was very faint, but I think we might be the same kind of people.
Unfortunately, I came too early. So, Doctor, please take a look at the future for me. Remember, wait patiently.
Also, your liquor is really delicious.]
The letter was very short, not even filling a single page.
