The chaotic journey that a pirate begins

"Marco, you go back first."

Although there were three people on the pirate ship, Kozuki Oden, Neko Viper, and Duke Inarashi, Dong Ling felt a little uneasy for some reason.

The clouds and mist dispersed, and after looking at the bright moon in the distance, Dongling said lightly.

"Next, Newgate and I have a friend we want to meet."

"Oh, I see."

Although the reason is unclear, it does not prevent Marco from trusting Newgate, both in terms of strength and friendship.

As a giant bird with green flames all over its body appeared in the sky, Dongling said lightly.

"Newgate, go ahead. Of course, I want you to go."

Smiling softly, even after eight years of absence, for Newgate, Dongling's thoughts are still so easy to guess.

"Let's go, you've been waiting for this opportunity for eight years."

No matter where you are, there are always one or two dark places, let alone a metropolis like the Water City where pirates are constantly coming.

In a dark bar somewhere, it is strange that although this bar is large, there are surprisingly few customers.

"Hey! You're not doing business anymore!!"

He lifted the waiter blocking the door high and was about to throw it to the ground when a whisper from behind made the man tremble.

"This bar is booked today, do you have any objections?"

Trembling, he looked back and when he saw the familiar figure, the corners of the man's mouth trembled slightly.

Then he looked at Newgate next to Dongling and said in a deep voice.

"'Demon Sword'! 'Whitebeard'!"

Looking at the man's whole body and looking at the scar on his chest, Dongling said softly.

"If I remember correctly, you should be Beihai's 'Big Sword', right?"

After a pause, looking around at his men gathered around him, Dongling continued.

"Take your little brothers and leave."

The soft words made the man afraid, he snorted softly, and then left.

Looking at the service staff who were still collapsed on the ground, Dongling said lightly.

"Is anyone here?"

He nodded slightly and said in a shaky voice.

"Come, come, the guest is inside"

He answered softly and then entered.

The bar is very large, and even Newgate's tall body does not feel crowded here at all. It seems that it has been specially prepared to handle all kinds of customers.

After glancing at Roger who was not far away, Dongling walked forward slowly.

After taking a look at the quiet environment around him, Dongling said calmly to Roger.

"It seems you don't like the environment here very much."

After waving his hand, Roger answered.

"It's just so so. I usually don't pay any attention to this kind of thing."

He slammed the wine bottle in his hand onto the table, and the loud sound echoed in the silent bar.

The service staff standing not far away also trembled all over in an instant and motioned for him to leave. Roger said again.

"Tell me why you came to us."

Shaking his head, Dongling showed a wry smile, looked at Roger and then at Rayleigh, and said.

"Can't you just express your gratitude for your kindness eight years ago?"

"Tch, don't stop it!"

Staring at Roger with a crescent smile on his face, Dongling said again.

"Listen to all things?"

"No, it's just a hunch, at least this time! You didn't just invite us out of gratitude!"

Without comment, Dongling looked at Newgate and said.

"Can you hand over the absolute execution power of the Whitebeard Pirates to me?"

With a chuckle and picking up the drink next to him, Newgate said with a laugh.

"You don't need to ask me about this kind of thing, Dongling."

Seeing Newgate's calm look, Dongling felt warm, but helplessly held his forehead and sighed.

"A captain must behave like a captain, Newgate."

Looking at Roger, Dongling's expression suddenly became serious and he said in a deep voice.

"Roger, if I remember correctly, your goal is to reach Lafdru, right?"

There is no denying that Roger's purpose is on the Grand Line, and there are many people who know about it, at least those who are hanging around in the underground world basically know it.

"so what."

"Let's join forces!"

Putting the wine glass in the center of the table where the four people were sitting, Dongling said.

"Rocks' time is over!"

"Next, the Whitebeard Pirates and Roger Pirates will join forces."

"Defeat the Rocks Pirates!"

As soon as Dongling finished speaking, not only Roger, but also Rayleigh looked at Dongling in surprise.

Newgate didn't care. He already had a rough idea of ​​what Dongling wanted to do before he came.

After pondering, Roger said again.

"reason."

"Hahahaha!" Dongling laughed, staring into Roger's pupils with his only right eye, and said in a deep voice.

"Roger, everyone is not a fool. Two of the four historical pieces of road signs heading to Raffdrew are in the hands of Rocks."

"Even if I don't say these words today, you will one day fight Rocks!"

"Should you choose to let your Roger Pirates challenge Rocks alone, or choose a safe way to join forces for a decisive battle!"

"The choice is yours!"

""

Looking directly at Dongling and glancing at Newgate, Roger suddenly asked.

"I need to know what benefits this will bring to you, the Whitebeard Pirates."

With a laugh, Dongling said again.

"The era of Rocks is over, and the history after this will be written by our Whitebeard Pirates!"

"You feel"

"Isn't this a benefit?"

Farewell to Roger, it was almost late at night when Dong Ling returned to the ship. Marco, who was still vigilant, saw the two Dong Ling coming back and greeted them.

"Dad, uncle, you are back!"

"Ah."

Newgate asked softly, looking around.

"Where's Oden? Why didn't you see him sunbathing on the deck today?"

Marco scratched his hair and said softly.

"I don't know about this either. I haven't seen Brother Oden for a day."

"Yeah"

I'm not worried. After all, although Oden's strength is not as high as the ceiling combat power of Garp and Newgate, he is still among the top batch.

Let Marco go back to the cabin to sleep, Newgate next to Dongling suddenly asked.

"Donngling, is what you said true?"

"What really?"

"What you just said to Roger."

After pondering, Dongling nodded slightly, but after a moment he hesitated and shook his head.

"probably."

A bright moon was reflected on the clear sea. Staring at the disk above the sea, there was a silence on the deck.

At this time, Newgate suddenly said.

"You're struggling."

""

Silently, Dongling murmured.

"maybe."

On the ship of the Roger Pirates, in the captain's room

Leaning against the wall, Rayleigh said to Roger who was sitting beside the bed.

"Can you trust what Dongling said?"

"Don't know, but"

Looking up at Rayleigh, Roger said again.

"That guy is definitely planning something deeper, but"

"Just what?"

"He seemed to be hesitating, wondering whether he should do it or not."

Lying on the bed, Dongling was thinking.

The established order is not easily broken, and

Dongling is not sure whether this order should be broken.

After all, the order that has lasted for eight hundred years is enough to be engraved in people's hearts.

Whispering, Dongling said to himself.

"To overthrow the world government, it's the arrogance of a man named 'Donngling'"
