"I heard that the pirates who go to the Grand Line will shout out their dreams when they pass by the Upside-Down Mountain. Do you want to give it a try?"

Roger suddenly looked at Kuina and said jokingly

"I'm not a pirate." Kuina pouted.

"It's okay, as long as you have a dream."Rogge encouraged with a faint smile

"I don't want to. If I shout, your subordinates will definitely laugh at me."Guina still firmly refused.

"They won't laugh at you, right?"

Rogge turned around and said to the peeking navy with a scary smile.

"……"

Dozens of navy officers were sweating profusely.

""Yes, yes, yes."

After saying this in unison, the navy officers dared not peek anymore and all ran back to the cabin and hid.

"Look, I said they wouldn't dare laugh at you."Rogge turned to Kuina and said

"You." Kuina shook her head, expressing her helplessness at Rogge's childish behavior.

"I, Kasda! I want to be Brigadier General Rogge's permanent adjutant!"

"……"

Rogge was about to continue to coax Kuina, but Casta shouted at this time.

Rogge was embarrassed and speechless.

Kuina burst out laughing.

Then she raised her eyebrows at Rogge, as if to say: I didn't expect you to have such a loyal subordinate.

"This guy……"

"I, Shimotsuki Kuina, want to become the world's greatest swordsman!"

After saying this, Kuina hesitated for a moment and added

"As a woman!"

Rogge looked at Kuina in surprise, but he didn't expect Kuina to really shout it out.

"Then, I, Feroce Roger, will become the world's greatest swordsman.……"

Having said this, Rogge paused, and Kuina looked at Rogge with strange eyes, as if to say,"Do you want to snatch it from me?"

"Become the man of the world's greatest swordsman, Kuina."

Rogge said the last sentence with a smile, and Kuina's expression changed from doubt to blushing and shyness.

""You are such a naughty boy, Rogue, you are so unruly!"

As he said that, he started to chase and play with Rogue again, and the deck was soon filled with their laughter.

Rogue's goal was to be the Admiral of the Navy, and he was not the kind of Admiral of the Navy who was supported by the World Government. He wanted to obtain this position by his absolute strength and get the Navy out of the control of the World Government.

In Rogue's words: He, Rogue, is not a dog of the World Government. Why should I listen to you when I become the Admiral of the Navy? In other words, his dream will be full of rebellion, and if he speaks it out, it will have a far-reaching impact on his career in the Navy.

Therefore, this Upside-Down Mountain is destined to have no place for him to take the oath.

After crossing the Upside-Down Mountain...

Bang!

"What happened? What happened?"

The sudden vibration made the marines on Rogge’s ship panic.

"It's okay, it's just a whale hitting the red earth continent."

Rogge said lightly as he lay back on the couch.

Whale? Hitting the red earth continent?

No matter how you think about it, it can't be described by the word"just", right?

The marines looked at Rogge with complaining eyes.

Rogge glanced at the marines.

"Anything else?"

"……"

The marines immediately shook their heads and left the deck.

What made their respected superior so scary?

Was it the woman named Kuina?

Or was it Miss Nami's departure?

The marines were puzzled and could only bury their doubts in their hearts.

At the same time, the old man Kurokas, the caretaker of Gemini Cape, saw Roger and his group.

"Oh~ It's so rare to see the navy crossing the Upside Down Mountain."

Kurokas took off some of his sunglasses to allow himself to see more clearly.

"Where are the navy from all over the world going? It's really curious, but I'm not a pirate anymore, so where they go is none of my business, hahahaha……"

""Rogge, will that whale be killed?" Kuina said worriedly while looking at the whale Lab.

"Don't worry, it has been hit like this for decades, and there are special doctors. Don't worry, it won't die."Rogge said heartlessly.

"? Decades? Doctor?"

Guina didn't understand why whales would self-harm, or why whales had doctors.

"Well, this whale is looking for its owner, but its owner is dead, but it doesn't believe it, so it has been trying to crash through the red earth continent and then meet its owner."

"As for the doctor... well, you can think of him as an old acquaintance of the whale, who couldn't bear to see the whale hurt itself so he helped it with its treatment."

Rogge explained calmly.

"Then why didn't he stop the whale?" Kuina asked curiously.

"Hey, hey, hey, can you think about what you said? Such a big whale! Stop it?"Rogge said in surprise.

Kuina blushed, and then explained:"I thought they had a good relationship, so they should be obedient."

Obedience?

Rogge turned his head and looked at his adjutant who was trying hard to swing the sword and said:"Casda, take out the rabbit that is ready to be eaten"

"Yes!"

Kasda immediately put away his sword and took out a little white rabbit from the kitchen.

"Now, ask it what its name is."Rogge pointed at the rabbit and said to Kuina

"……I can't speak rabbit language." Kuina poked her two little fingers together and muttered softly.

"Oh, and do you think that doctor can speak whale?"

"……That's right~ Hehe." Kuina said with a silly smile

"Hey, the old man lying on the chair reading the newspaper is the doctor of the whale."

Rogge pointed to Kurokas on the lighthouse not far away and said.

Kuina looked in the direction of Rogge's finger.

Just then she saw an old man wearing three-piece clothes, light blue pants, and a bunch of banana-like hair.

And the old man was also looking at them.

After staring at each other for a long time, Kuina smiled and waved her hand to show her friendliness to Kurokas.

Kurokas was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly and waved his hand.

"It's been a long time since I saw such a lovely girl. It's a pity that she is from the navy, otherwise I could give her a little gift."

Kurokas thought to himself, and then watched Kuina's figure gradually blur and disappear in front of him.

Rogge glanced at Kuina who was still smiling, and then asked:"Are you thanking this old man for treating the whale?"

"Well, yes, this old man has been helping an animal that doesn't speak the same language for decades, I think he is great."

Guina looked in the direction she came from and smiled, her smile was very sweet and beautiful.

But Rogge did not appreciate Guina's beauty at this time, but turned to Casda and said:"Casda, go roast this rabbit, I want to eat it!"

"？？"Rabbit is confused.
