After the great battle with the Golden Lion, Zesi returned home without saying much about the fight.
But the people on the entire island now looked at Zesi and the Brunei Family with a newfound sense of awe.
1. Another period of time has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, both Kate and Feiluo looked at Zesi with some concern.
Because something big happened today.
The Pirate King Roger has been captured by the Navy.
The World Economy News reported on this.
Both Kate and Feiluo knew that Zesi had once been a member of Roger Pirates.
The Roger Pirates were known for their unity.
They were afraid that Zesi might do something impulsive if he found out about this.
Although they knew Zesi was strong, the even more powerful Pirate King Roger had been captured by the Navy. If Zesi went to rescue Roger, he might just walk into their trap.
Moreover, even if Zesi manages to rescue Roger, it would mean a complete break Zesi Roger and the Navy.
That would be a devastating blow to the entire Brunei Family.
Although Zesi is very strong, Kate doesn't believe he can withstand the entire Marine Headquarters.
"What's wrong with you two today?" Zesi noticed their unusual behavior and asked with a smile.
"Are you going to save him?" Feiluo asked, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
While Kate was worried about the consequences of Zesi going to rescue Roger, Feiluo felt that it was cool to storm Marine Headquarters to save his comrades.
So he looked at Zesi with a hint of anticipation and excitement.
"Save him? Who? Roger? Why?"
"Wasn't he your former captain, your former comrade-in-arms?"
"But Roger doesn't need anyone to save him. If he didn't do it voluntarily, no one could catch him. There's only one possibility that he'll be caught: he'll turn himself in."
"Surrender? Pirate King Roger surrendered? But the reports say the Navy captured Roger!"
"Heh, the World Government is always good at manipulating facts. If Roger were so easy to capture, he wouldn't have been able to complete his feat of circumnavigating the world; he would have been captured by the Navy long ago."
"Besides, if Roger was indeed captured by the Navy, then the Navy must have paid a heavy price. Haven't you heard about any recent losses suffered by the Navy?"
" The Pirate King Roger actually surrendered? That's surprising, but why?"
"Actually, Roger had been suffering from an incurable disease for a long time, and he probably only had a few months left to live. His surrender now is probably because he wants to do something important before he dies."
"Big news? The Pirate King is going to do something big, what is it? Robbing the Marine Headquarters or the World Government!"
"Heh, robbing the World Government? You're really funny. Roger, he's trying to usher in a new era."
The news of the capture of the Pirate King Roger quickly caused a sensation throughout the world.
Knowing about Roger's illness, none of the Roger Pirates acted rashly.
However, they did not act rashly, but the navy will not forget them.
They were afraid they would gather again.
If these terrifying monsters were to regroup, even the navy would have a hard time stopping them.
So they started by taking action against some members of Roger Pirates.
Even before the Roger Pirates disbanded, the Navy had already begun searching for the whereabouts of the Roger Pirates members, especially those like Rayleigh who had been to Laugh Tale.
At the same time as announcing Roger's capture, the Navy also began to capture the other crew members of the Roger Pirates.
Some crew members knew that after the Roger Pirates disbanded, the Navy would inevitably search for and arrest them.
So they hid from the start.
However, the World Government's spies are still very capable, and some of the crew members were still found by the World Government.
Especially Rayleigh and Bullet, they don't bother to hide themselves at all, and they have the strength to do so without needing to.
Bullet is even challenging people everywhere.
At the same time Roger surrendered, the Navy and the World Government also launched an operation to capture Rayleigh and others.
Rayleigh was in particular under close scrutiny, with Sengoku and others personally intervening, resulting in Rayleigh being severely injured.
He finally escaped thanks to his unparalleled swimming skills.
However, he eventually became exhausted, but fortunately, he was rescued by Hachi.
Because of their superior strength, and the fact that the Navy did not send any truly powerful individuals to capture them, Bullet and his group were able to escape easily.
However, they were still relentlessly pursued by the navy!
Only Red Hair and Buggy, being apprentice pirates who had never been to Laugh Tale, were overlooked.
Even on the island where the Brunei Family lives, a large number of strangers have appeared during this period.
There were members from the navy and the World Government!
Even the CP0, World Government, has appeared!
However, they didn't take any action; they simply monitored the area and investigated Zesi's movements.
If they discover that Zesi is still on the island, they will not make any moves.
However, once they discovered that Zesi wasn't there...
They will probably first take control of Zesi's family and use them to threaten Zesi.
Zesi had no intention of rescuing Roger, so he let them stay on the island, occasionally coming out to intimidate them and tell them not to cause trouble.
This matter only subsided after one particular incident occurred.
"Heh heh heh, Golden Lion is still as reckless as ever. He single-handedly stormed Marine Headquarters and destroyed half of Marine Headquarters. He's really impressive. He truly lives up to his name, Golden Lion!"
That day, Zesi held up a newspaper and said...
Zesi thought that after their battle, Golden Lion wouldn't dare to venture into Marine Headquarters alone again, but he didn't expect it to happen anyway.
In the end Golden Lion was defeated by Sengoku and Garp, and imprisoned in Impel Down.
Not long after, news broke.
The Pirate King Roger was executed in his hometown Loguetown.
At the same time, because of a dying remark by Pirate King Roger, the Great Pirate Era began...
