One Piece: The Supreme Sword of the Beginning

South China Sea, Batlila Island!

This island is just an ordinary island in the South China Sea, not very famous, but it is peaceful and tranquil.

It is a small island composed of several small towns.

The population is only a few hundred households. It is located in a remote area of the South China Sea, lacking foreign ships, and pirates and the navy rarely visit here.

After all, this island is not very profitable!

However, this island, which is not very famous, is home to a great man.

A man who once stirred up trouble in the New World, the Pirate King Gor.D.Roger.

Roger's footsteps are all over the world. It was also in the South China Sea that he found Portgas, a woman who loved him deeply and made him deeply moved..D.Lu Jiu.

His first meeting with Lu Jiu was not pleasant, but because of this he quickly fell in love.

However, because he still had unfinished dreams, he had to say goodbye to Lu Jiu and headed for Raftel.

When he completed his dream, he returned to Batlila Island, intending to live a peaceful life with Lu Jiu.

He knew that his life was running out, and he planned to spend all his time with Lu Jiu.

A man like Roger was not a good person to entrust his life to, after all, his goal was the first in his eyes.

In the end, he came back with a terminal illness and his time was running out, but Lu Jiu didn't care and buried her mind on this man.

Batlila Island was blocked from news. If it weren't for Stussy's Happy Street, which had a wide channel, and if it happened that a villager from Batlila Island went to other islands to do business some time ago, he might not know that Roger was living in seclusion on this island.

It was through that villager that Stussy completely knew the fact that Roger was living in seclusion on Batlila Island.

Roger could have stayed on this island for a while, but his identity was exposed at this time, and CP and the Navy could not allow him to continue to be at large.

"Ross, you said you have been to the Grand Line, you are just bragging, I don't believe you anyway!"

Roger was bragging to the residents of the town.

Hearing that everyone didn't believe him, Roger took a sip of wine, his face flushed and smelling of alcohol:"It's true that I drank too much. The Grand Line is a place that ordinary people like us can't reach."

"Hahahaha!"

"I knew you were bragging again, Ross!"The guy who just laughed at Roger continued

"The sky island and the island made of cakes you mentioned are all just bragging!"

After listening to this guy, Roger didn't continue. He just picked up his wine and staggered out.

But just after he stood up and took two steps, he suddenly started coughing. His face turned pale and red, and he coughed up blood.

"Are you okay, Ross?"The villager who laughed at Roger asked with concern. Although he didn't think much of Ross's bragging, he knew Ross was sick, so he still tried his best to help.

He was an old-fashioned guy who looked down on others' bragging, but he was indeed a warm-hearted guy.

Roger took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He waved his hand and said,"It's an old illness, but I won't die! But thank you for your concern anyway."

"My family has some ancestral remedies. If you need them, I can bring them to you to try!"

The man's name is Hans, and he is also a famous local doctor in the Batlila Island area.

"OK, then thank you!"

Roger has already felt his current physical condition, and the day when he will surrender to the navy is not far away.

It would be a lie to say that he is not afraid of death, but Roger knows that this day will come sooner or later.

He wants to leave in a heroic manner and be the freest man in the world.

Isn't the title of Pirate King just like this?

If he was afraid of death, he would not have resolutely set out from Rogue Town and become the freest pirate.

Roger is now full of guilt. He still concealed something from Lu Jiu. Lu Jiu knew that he had a terminal illness, but she didn't know that within one or two years, he would leave her and go to heaven.

"A huge merchant ship came to the seaside. It was so big. It was the first time I saw such a big ship!"

"Do we have such valuable things here that are worthy of the arrival of a merchant ship of this size?"

"Who knows? Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Who wouldn't go for such a rare opportunity?"

It's human nature to love to watch the excitement. The crowd in the tavern was bustling and walked towards the port.

Roger stopped and suddenly wanted to see what was going on. Maybe there were some good things on the merchant ship that he could buy as a gift for Lu Jiu.

This island was too small, and he had never bought any romantic things for Lu Jiu. It was really a failure in his life.

Although he became the Pirate King, he couldn't even hold his own life.

"Hans, I have to go back home first and take Lujiu to see if there are any good things!"

"Go ahead, I'll help you guard it first, don't let the merchant ship leave, you're really lucky, such a sick guy married such a beautiful wife."Hans waved his hand.

At the same time, the ladder on the merchant ship was slowly lowered, and Ares and Stussy walked down from the ship together

"I never thought that the Pirate King would live in seclusion on such a remote island!"Stussy looked around.

This island was ordinary. If there was anything special about it, it might be the beautiful scenery here.

After Stussy met Ares, he did not see any emotional waves on his way.

"Ares, did you know Roger was here a long time ago?"Stusi asked with interest.

Ares smiled and said,"How should I know? This is not due to your channels."

Stusi looked at Ares. If Ares hadn't reminded him, who would have focused on the South China Sea? Stusi had already asked Happy Street to focus on collecting information on the large and small islands in the South China Sea.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy to collect information about Roger.

"Others can go to Batlila Island to trade normally, but we are serious businessmen! But don't let any suspicious ships go out to sea!"Stusi instructed the people around him.

These people are all agents of the CP agency, but they are all Stusi's confidants.

Stusi doesn't want to give such a great credit to others.

"Ares, don't we really want to inform the Five Elders? After all, this is the Pirate King Roger, can we take him down with just the two of us?"

Stussy asked the question in her heart. After all, before the meeting, Ares had always emphasized that she only needed to bring some confidants.

But would the Pirate King Roger surrender so easily?

"There is no need. Roger is already at the end of his rope. We are now capable of taking him down!"

Ares doesn't think that Roger can fight a protracted war with him now.

Even if he has to outlast Roger, he will not give up his life here in order to start a new era. If he has to give his life, he will give it to the navy!

"I hope it's like what you said! Otherwise, I will feel bad if the credit I got is gone!"Stussy spread his hands.

""Where are you merchants from?" Hans asked.

Ares remained calm and said,"We are a merchant caravan from the Grand Line. We have encountered some special situations and need to get supplies on this island!"

"Don't worry, give me money!"

Hans and the other residents nearby all smiled broadly after hearing this. After all, giving money means having a source of income. Although it's not much, it's worth being happy about, isn't it?

"Can you sell us some of the goods on your merchant ship?" Someone nearby asked

"Sell, why not? This is our livelihood."

"But I have a favor to do, and I need your help!" Ares continued.

When the people around heard Ares' words, they were instantly happy. After all, this meant that there would be a batch of supplies on Batlila Island, and they could make money, so it was normal to help out a little.

Ares casually took out a stack of Roger's bounty orders, but they were processed and there was no bounty sign, only Roger's photo.

Ares divided the photos into a stack and distributed them to everyone, saying:"We are looking for a product that only the man in the photo has. I heard that this man is in the South China Sea. If you have any information, we will reward you handsomely!" When everyone heard Ares' words, they all stared at the photos.

But many people looked more and more familiar. Isn't this Lu Jiu's husband Ross?

""Sir, I know this man, but are you really looking for him just because of the goods?" Hans stood up and stared at Ares and asked.

Ares looked at Hans, then patted him on the shoulder:"It's not just because of the goods. We used to be companions. We made a lot of money by reselling goods in the New World and the Grand Line. But my good brother has been living in seclusion recently. He only says that he is in the South China Sea. Brother, I want to come and see him too!"

Hans didn't doubt it after hearing it. After all, he had lived on Batlila Island since he was a child and had never seen too much intrigue. He breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it.

"It turns out that this guy Ross has really been to the Grand Line!"

"He wasn't bragging!"

Stussy's heart was relieved. After all, hearing about Roger's whereabouts was different from feeling it in person.

It seemed that he was the one who deserved the credit for Roger's great achievement.
