In the Rain and After the Rain

"Goldo Roger!"

"No, that's not right. There's a rumor that his name should be Gol D. Roger!!"

"It's D!!"

"It's unbelievable! The Pirate King Roger has really been captured and is going to be executed here!"

A cacophony of sounds filled the air in an instant, causing a stir in the room.

"Captain!"

Two figures in the crowd suddenly burst into tears.

Xia Le's gaze fell upon the two figures lost in the crowd opposite him.

The Red-Haired boy wearing Straw Hat burst into tears, and the boy with the Red Nose also wailed loudly.

The sun was already high in the sky, but at this moment the sky over Loguetown was shrouded in dark clouds, and a sudden Gale swept overhead.

It's going to rain!

Borsalino sighed.

Speaking of which, the weather these past few days has been anything but normal.

Xia Le Wen Yan this, her expression calm as she gazed at the dark clouds that had appeared overhead.

"Boom!"

Thunder roared, and Inazuma streaked across the sky.

It was at this moment that Sengoku finally finished his polite remarks and turned to Roger was kneeling beside him.

"Roger!"

"Do you have any last words?"

The deep voice echoed in everyone's ears, instantly silencing the crowd.

Everyone listened intently to the words spoken by the man on the Execution Platform before his death.

What will he say?

Someone clenched their fists and said excitedly.

"Last words?"

Suddenly Gol D. Roger raised his head, revealing a wide smile to everyone present, and to the world at large.

He smiled?!

Someone exclaimed in shock.

"Hey, Pirate King, where did you hide all the looted treasures you collected?"

"You got that legendary One Piece, didn't you?"

"That one One Piece, connected as one, ONE-PIECE!!"

Suddenly, someone shouted excitedly and asked a question.

Everyone heard the question, including Roger.

He looked up, suddenly grinned, and burst into laughter.

"Haha, hahahahaha!"

He laughed louder and louder, then suddenly cried out.

"My treasure?"

"If you want it, you can have it! Go find it!"

Sengoku was standing nearby, realized something was wrong and shouted, "Execute them!"

The Jailer drew his knife and swung it down.

"I've put all the world's wealth there!!"

A loud, cheerful voice suddenly echoed over the Loguetown, lingering in the ears of the people.

Silence, utter silence.

Everyone heard the words spoken by the Pirate King Roger before his death.

And so, the world went mad!!

"Boom!"

Thunder roared, and Gale swept through.

Heavy rain poured down over the Loguetown.

Xia Le looked up at the falling raindrops, his right hand resting on the hilt of his sword at his waist, then slowly releasing it.

"It's over."

"Yet it's yet another beginning!"

He turned around.

"We should go!"

Chapter 83 Rain and After Rain

The will passed down through generations, the changes of the times, and people's dreams—these West City that cannot be resisted no matter what.

As long as people continue to pursue the answer to freedom, nothing will stop.

Freedom! It's a dream everyone strives for.

When will humans die?

In times of being forgotten.

"Boom!"

Lightning flashed and thunder roared across the sky above Loguetown as a Storm downpour began.

Such a heavy Heavy Rain came in an instant, causing the people gathered on the ground to scatter and turn away.

Of course, what excited, thrilled, and drove them even crazier was the sentence that Pirate King Roger said before he died.

"Everything is on that island!"

"ONE-PIECE!!"

"I can no longer suppress my ambition. Once I reach that island, I will possess the whole world!"

The people with their frenzied gazes planted an indelible seed in their hearts at that moment, waiting for the right time to blossom and bear fruit.

Countless boats set sail from the coast, and people walked briskly through every street in the town.

The Island, which had become a hub for Roger's execution, is now seeing its population dwindle at a visible rate.

"Boom!"

Inazuma flashed across the sky, and the rain poured down.

Xia Le strode forward, followed by Kuzan, Borsalino, Sakazuki, Bullet, and others.

They walked quickly away from the Execution Platform.

In the dim light, one could see a shower of blood falling from the highest point of the Execution Platform, dripping onto the raindrops on the ground and quickly dissipating.

The great man known as the Pirate King, who lived a life of unbridled freedom, optimism, and magnanimity, reaching the pinnacle of human achievement, slumped his head, as if asleep in the Storm, and remained motionless.

"Boom!"

The Inazuma illuminated the area behind him.

Another strong wind swept by, blowing the man's red coat, but he remained motionless, only the faint smile at the corner of his mouth could be seen.

Suddenly, Xia Le abruptly stopped in her tracks.

Inazuma of lightning appeared in front of him, and a figure stood on the top of the building directly opposite.

The green clothes and hat were flapping violently in the wind, and the face could not be seen in the shadows.

"The era has not ended!"

"It's just the beginning!"

"You and I are but grains of sand in this new era; what waves can we possibly stir up?"

A deep voice rang out, echoing in everyone's ears.

Xia Le pursed her lips, and when she looked ahead again, the figure had already vanished with the wind, as if it had never existed.

"This island is teeming with terrifying creatures and bizarre humans!"

Borsalino then exclaimed.

"Who can argue with that?"

Xia Le grinned and echoed.

The rain obscured his vision, but he could see a large number of figures running in the rain towards the Harbor.

They continued on, and after passing through five or six alleyways, Rosinante suddenly stopped behind them.

Noticing this, Xia Le first glanced at the pool of water at his feet, which had gathered into a river and was flowing towards the shore, before following the other person's line of sight.

"Rosinante."

He called out softly.

"Arrive!"

Rosinante immediately looked away.

"Walk your own path and watch your step."

Don't focus too much on others.

Xia Le.

Rosinante was taken aback, then understood. "Yes, Superior Officer!"

He took a deep breath and looked in the direction he had come from, only to see that the familiar figure had disappeared into another alley.

Clearly, the other party wasn't going in their direction.

Xia Le lifted his foot and continued walking forward, knowing perfectly well why the other person had been in a daze just now.

Because at the very front of the group that passed in front of them was Doflamingo.

That is, Rosinante's older brother.

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the designated meeting point.

Unlike the numerous Pirate and various factions, the Navy maintains discipline and leaves in batches even when it needs to evacuate.

Meanwhile, amidst the Storm, Xia Le and the others quickly received their first order.

"Move out immediately and capture all the Pirate currently located in Loguetown!"

The order was given quickly, and most of the navy had almost no time to react. After only a short rest, they were back in their raincoats, weapons in hand, and began to move.

But the heavy rain clearly obscured visibility, which was not good news for the operation.

"Sabrus the Dragon Slayer!"

"The Destroyer Babi Pirates!"

"The Great Pirate Sicily!"

"Runianli the Mafia is recommended!"

"My God, there are so many Pirate in Loguetown right now!"

Soon, a voice came from the Den Den Mushi that Xia Le was holding.
