Opening: Devil Fruit can be upgraded

Xuezou was obtained from a weapon shop owner in Rogue Town. Given the owner's personality, if anyone who passed through his weapon shop in this life did not meet the swordsman in his mind, then he might never sell Xuezou in his lifetime, so it is understandable that Xuezou disappeared from the world for a long time.

"By the way, teacher, which disciples have just returned from the dojo?"Roger remembered the three pirates who had escaped.’

"Oh, yes, Bond, Kerr and Adi all just came back, so they are just a little bit faster than you guys." Koshiro said.

So it was these three guys. Roger thought to himself

"What's wrong?" Koshiro asked

"No, nothing, I just met them on the sea, but they left without even saying hello to me."

Roger knew that Koshiro didn't have a particularly good impression of pirates, probably because of Kaido. Anyway, his senior brother Yagu was still enjoying the cool breeze at the beach.

"I'll go check on them, Kuina, you guys talk to the master first." After saying that, Rogge went out.

Coming to the once familiar training ground, now everything has changed, and there are not many familiar faces left in the dojo.

""Brother Roger!"

A fellow student who seemed to know Roger shouted.

But Roger didn't know him, so he just nodded and smiled, and then continued to look for Bond and the other two. After finding that Bond and the other two were not here, he turned around and walked towards the apprentice dormitory.

"Hello, Brother Jack, is this marine our senior?"

"Yes, he is one of the master's earliest disciples. His name is Roger, and he is now a vice admiral in the navy."

"Vice Admiral? Isn't that impressive?!" A group of disciples gathered around and exclaimed.

"Of course, Senior Brother Rogge is not only powerful, but he also took away our goddess at that time, Master’s daughter Kuina!"

"What? Is this how the legendary senior sister was taken away by this senior brother? What a pity!"

"What are you regretting? Do you think it would be your turn without Senior Brother Rogge? Senior Sister is very powerful!"

"Hahaha, I think I'm pretty strong now."

"Really? Then let's practice?"

……

Roger didn't know that his appearance had caused his fellow apprentices to quarrel over the eldest sister again. At this time, he had already arrived at the apprentice dormitory.

The doors were all closed, and Roger didn't know where Bond's dormitory was, so he asked a passing junior brother, and then walked towards the residence of the three.

The three of them were really good friends, living in the same room.

When Roger arrived at the door, he was about to knock on the door, but he heard the three of them discussing

"Damn, why are we so unlucky that we run into the navy right after we go out?" Adi, who was speaking, was careless, which distinguished him from the other three.

"Alas, the pirate ship we bought after years of business is gone so soon."Kerr said dejectedly,"It's all because of this Rogge, he didn't come back earlier or later, but just came back when we set sail."

Several people could guess with their toes who the vice admiral who would come to this island was. The newspapers had published many of Rogge's glorious deeds, and several people knew Rogge, so they would not look for Rogge in every issue of the newspaper. Of course, they didn't worship Rogge, but they wanted to know how far their opponents had left them behind.

"There is no other way, we can only wait a few years to go out to sea." Bond said solemnly after a long silence.

"Are you still waiting? Boss, don't you see how famous Roger is? A 21-year-old vice admiral, a future admiral, an unprecedented rising star in the navy, if we wait a few more years, he will become a marshal without any hesitation!"Adi said angrily

"But our goal is not to surpass Roger, right? We just want to become famous, to prove that we are no worse than Roger."Bond said calmly.

"Then why don't we join the navy? At least we don't have to worry about ships."Kerr suggested.

"No! I don't want to work under Roger in the future!" Adi said stubbornly, without considering whether he was qualified to work under Roger.

"If you ask me, why don't we go rob? Isn't that what pirates do?"

Adi's shocking words shocked Kerr, and he hurriedly said:"Keep your voice down, if the master knew that we were going to be pirates, he would definitely not let us go!"

"Tsk, we are so strong now, Master is old, he might not be able to beat us."Adi said arrogantly

""Okay, Adi!" Bond's scolding made Adi energetic for a while, but he didn't dare to speak afterwards.

"No matter what, the master is the one who taught us. I will not allow you to say disrespectful words to the teacher in the future! Do you hear me?"

""Yes." Adi whispered.

Bond looked at Adi helplessly and said,"Robbery is absolutely not allowed. Not to mention how our parents will be treated if we do these evil things, even if the villagers are easy to talk to, I don't think Roger will let us go."

"He! Why should we be afraid of him?"Adi said excitedly. But Bond glared at him and suddenly he hung his head like a tamed lion.

"Rogge's strength is no longer the same as before. You saw it on the shore just now. He split our ship in half with one sword."Bond continued

"Isn't that the power of the devil fruit?" Kerr asked in disbelief.

Bond shook his head and replied:"This is the realm of the swordsman, a higher realm of the swordsman."

"Swordsman?"It was the first time for Adi and Kerr to hear this unfamiliar word.

"‘A swordsman is one who can cut through iron and make a flying slash. 'This was told to me by a swordsman master on the seashore.' Bond explained,"It's a pity that he didn't want to teach me, but I heard from this person that Zoro got his true teachings, but it's a pity that Zoro left Shimotsuki Village a long time ago! 'Bang, bang, bang!

"Who!"

Bond and the other two looked towards the door in panic.

"I, Roger."

Rogge?!

The three looked at each other, not knowing whether to open the door or not. Finally, Bond knew that it would be the same whether he opened the door or not, so he stood up and opened it.

"What are you doing here?" Bond said coldly, standing at the door. He obviously didn't want to let Roger in.

""Well, can't I take a look at my junior brother?" Roger joked, and then pushed Bond away and walked inside. Bond wanted to stop him, but the power gap was too big, and Bond had no resistance at all.

"Hey, Adi, Kerr, long time no see." Roger smiled as if he was familiar with them, but Kerr and Adi didn't look at him well and remained silent.
