Traveler in the Pirate World

With Lily's shoulder massage and back rubbing, the well-fed Kurokas finally calmed down. He wiped his mouth with the tissue Lily handed over and said with satisfaction, "You little girl's cooking skills are pretty good."

Looking at Lily with a well-behaved face, it was difficult for Kurokas to connect her with the horrible state just now. It turned out that women's ability to change their faces was really strong. Fortunately, I have been single for more than 70 years and have never thought about falling in love.

"I won't tell you too much about what happened back then. After all, some things need to be seen and understood by yourself. Roger left everything there. When the time comes, everything will be known, but now is not the right time. Besides, you are not a pirate, and some things will not do you any good if you know them. I will only tell you about Roger." Crocus looked at Lily seriously.

Lily nodded. Roger's voyage was undoubtedly attractive, but as Kurokus said, it was difficult to get a glimpse of the true picture of things by just listening to one side of the story. Some things had to be experienced and faced by oneself. The reason why Ace embarked on this journey was to walk the same path as Roger and think about himself at that time.

"More than 20 years ago, when I left the Twin Gorges and joined Roger's pirate group, it was Roger's second time on the Grand Line. At that time, Roger was suffering from a terminal illness and was actually dying!" Crocus looked at the injection in his hand, "If this thing had been in my hands earlier, and it was really as powerful as you said, Roger might still be alive now, right?"

Crocus' words shocked Lily. Garp had always avoided the real matter about Roger, saying that it was an agreement with Roger. Lily had never been very clear about these things. How could that man accomplish the feat of conquering the sea with his dying body? !

“And the reason Roger invited me on board was to maintain his physical condition and help him complete this voyage.

That guy overcame his fear of death, fulfilled his dream with a big laugh, and changed an era, an old era where everyone was afraid of the Grand Line. "Kurokas knew that he chose to board the ship not only to find the Rumbar Pirates that he had agreed with Lab, but also because he was impressed by Roger's demeanor.

"Can you show me Ace's picture?" Kurokas suddenly said to Lily who was sitting opposite him. Lily handed him Ace's reward, and Kurokas laughed when he saw the black-haired boy with the same freckles as his mother.

"Would you like to tell me about this kid?" Kurokas pointed at Ace's image and looked at Lily.

"Sure!" After confirming that Crocus was trustworthy, Lily didn't intend to hide anything. "Ace grew up with the four of us. When he was a child, because of Roger's incident, Ace always thought that he was the continuation of a sinful bloodline that was not needed and should not exist. But because his life was the continuation of Aunt Lu Jiu, and it was Aunt Lu Jiu who exchanged her life for it, so Ace desperately wanted to live."

Lily told Crocus a lot about Ace and took out some pictures of Ace when he was a child, which made the old man very happy.

"I feel sorry for that boy. It seems that you really care about your brothers, you little bitch who protects them." Kurokas looked at the picture of Ace and said to Lily.

Suddenly, Kurokas put his hand on Lily's head, touched Lily's soft long hair, looked at Lily seriously and said, "I used to think Roger did all this for something, but now it seems that those things are nothing to him.

Roger cared about Ace. In the last moment of his life, he opened this era for that brat. Lily, this era belongs to Ace. Look forward to the day when that kid finds Raftel. Roger left everything to him!"

Lily looked at Crocus in confusion, "What if Ace-nii doesn't make it there?"

"No, he is Gol D. Roger's son!" Kurokus withdrew his hand, his face solemn and serious.

"What kind of reason is that?" Lily couldn't help but say. She didn't quite understand what Kurokas meant.

"Nothing is more worth keeping than a promise, and nothing is more worth looking forward to than trust. If Roger doesn't even trust his own son, then he really doesn't deserve to be a father." Crocus looked into Lily's eyes and said seriously, "Roger's body didn't have much time left at that time. He entrusted Ace and Luju to Garp, which was the last arrangement he could make for them, because Garp was the only one in the world who could protect them.

And Raftel is the last gift Roger left for Ace. Go find it. He left everything there, and Ace will get everything there, including the truth!

I guess when Roger handed Esto over to Garp, he must have said, my child will definitely become the next Pirate King and will definitely usher in a new era.

That guy must have laughed when he said this, it must be like this, because this is Roger!" Kurokas messed up Lily's hair, and laughed vengefully at her resentful look, "Hahaha... stinky girl, how can you understand a man's romance!"

Hearing what Kurokas said, Lily was like a cat with its fur standing on end, "You are sexist!" Who doesn't understand the romance of men? The romance of men is like a giant steel beast!

Lab rubbed Lily's ankle with his head. The smooth touch made Lily lower her head and looked at the flattering little Lab. Lily handed it a piece of dried meat, squatted down, and touched its head. "Lab, do you want to go on a trip?"

Lab nodded. It was what it had always wanted. It wanted to walk the same path that Yuchi and the others had walked. It wanted to realize the dreams that they had failed to realize. It wanted to see them again.

But soon Lab shook his head again. He had promised the man that he would duel with him when they returned here.

Lily smiled and poked its big head with her finger. "Idiot, go if you want to. Luffy doesn't care about these things. And maybe you can meet them on the sea."

Lab turned happily in the water, swam to Kurokas, and looked at him with his big eyes.

Crocus said helplessly: "I am old, Lab, and I no longer have the strength to go on adventures in the Grand Line. If you want to go, go with Lily!" Crocus looked at Lily and said, "You may need to tell Ace in person!"

Originally, Crocus was not a combatant on Roger's ship. Although his strength exceeded that of ordinary imps, he was old after all.

The next moment, a huge and terrifying cold air gathered in Lily's hands, and mysterious runes were spinning. Just when Kurokas thought Lily was going crazy again, Lily's white palm was imprinted on Lab's head. Countless cold air was compressed, and white runes spread to Lab's whole body. Lab's body was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Countless steel bars, concrete and machinery penetrated through Lab's body as if passing through a layer of flowing water, without hurting Lab at all.

Rab's originally square head became flat, and the fins that were small compared to his body became wide and slender, like wings. His back was pulled up and arched upwards, forming a perfect arc, his abdomen was infected with white, and his back turned into a deep blue like the starry sky, with white runes dotted on it like stars.

"From now on, Labu, you are the only Snowland Black Whale in the world. You are my follower who has been enlightened and is under my protection. You have the ability to control the falling snow and the wind, and you can travel in the sky." Lily's voice was sacred and ethereal. Labu looked up at the girl's beautiful face and let out a loud whale cry.

Under Kurokas's shocked eyes, Lab broke away from the water, soared into the air, and danced happily in the sky. Its body became extremely huge in an instant, far exceeding its original size. Its downward back was like the starry sky covering the sky, spinning and tumbling, with its white belly and back alternating like day and night reversed, as if it had become a new world.

Lily turned to look at Kurokas, "Labu will be able to protect himself from now on, so you don't have to worry about his safety anymore. Of course, there is no danger for Labu to be with me, so you can just enjoy your retirement here!"

After that, Lily handed him a bag of snacks and reminded him: "You are a doctor yourself, remember not to overeat. You are old, so just be quiet and don't let others bully you..."

Lily nagged for a long time like an old woman. She didn't know when Lily started to like giving snacks to people. Old man Kurokas was a nice guy, and Lily treated him as an elder, completely forgetting that she had just bullied him.

Kurokas stared at the nagging girl in a daze. All this was beyond his understanding. Having seen the true strong men of the sea, he knew that this level of power was a little too abnormal.

"Could it be that this girl has already touched or even reached that level?" Kurokas couldn't help but think, but quickly rejected this possibility, "Even if that kind of existence exists, it may not be able to do this, right?"

Lab looked at Kulokas reluctantly. Kulokas pushed its body which had shrunk to 20 centimeters in length and said softly, "Go, my voyage has ended, but yours has just begun, Lab!"

As his body strength increased, the proportion to which Lab's body could be reduced increased again, and now it can be as small as a palm.

Lab moaned a few times, hovered around Kurokas for a while, flew to Lily's side, rubbed Lily's cheek with his head, and left a string of saliva on Lily's face with his big tongue, which made Lily push it away in disgust, "Itchy, are you a puppy?"
