After a while, the shop was opened.

"Is this the right place? It's really hard to find." Lake walked around in Roger Town and finally found the shop in a small alley.

It was shabby and dark, and it looked like a scrapped shop. If it weren't for the words "Gol D. Roger" hanging on the door, Lake would have suspected that he had found the wrong one.

After a quick look, he only saw a little old man, who looked like an elderly person, but he was not friendly at all.

The first sentence he said when he saw Lake was: "Get out of here, this shop is not a place for a kid like you."

Lake didn't mind, and walked straight to the old man's position, pulled out the stool and sat down, then picked up another glass of wine on the table and drank it.

Seeing this, the old man didn't say anything more. He drank another cup and said, "Leave quickly after you finish your drink. This store is about to close."

Lake looked at the old man and said, "Is it because there are no customers?"

The old man snorted coldly, then turned and walked towards the counter, saying as he walked, "It's because I don't plan to open it anymore."

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly looked at Lake and asked, "Boy, are you a pirate too?"

Lake nodded and said, "I guess so~"

After hearing this, the old man said with disdain, "Since Roger was executed here 22 years ago, the great pirate era has begun. All the guys with some skills have gone out to become pirates, even a kid like you."

Lake didn't mind the old man's venomous tongue, and smiled and said to him, "So what? Isn't going to sea for freedom? , there is nothing more desirable than freedom, isn't it? "

The old man was stunned when he heard Lake's words. After a while, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect to hear this sentence again from a little kid."

After saying that, the old man looked at Lake. After a while, he asked, "Little kid, is your dream to become the Pirate King?"

Lake shook his head and denied it, "That's my captain's dream. As for me, I just want to live freely and do my best to change some things."

"So that's it. You actually have such awareness at this age, but the guy who can be recognized as a captain by someone like you must be extraordinary."

"That guy...hahaha, he is indeed extraordinary."

After that, Lake chatted with the old man for some reason. Lake told the old man everything about him without hiding anything.

Although the old man was surprised, he quickly accepted it and told Lake his name, Dodd Lunn.

This is a name that Lake, a fan of the original novel, has never heard of. When he learned that Lake and his friends were about to go to the Grand Line, the old man was also very excited.

In the end, Lake got an unexpected reward from him. In addition to the various good wines he purchased, Lake also got a logbook.

Although it was not signed, judging from the old man's expression, this thing should be very precious to him. Just when Lake was about to leave, another customer came to the store.

Short silver hair, white coat, a unique weapon on his back, and two cigars in his mouth all the time, this image is Smoker.

Lake ignored him and walked straight outside. Although Smoker was a little confused when he saw this guy, he was not the kind of person who would make trouble for no reason, so he didn't think much about it.

The old man immediately put on a sour face when he saw Smoker, but Smoker didn't mind sitting down and drinking the wine himself.

Suddenly, a navy soldier pushed the door open and walked in, shouting in a bad tone: "Hey! This is a new bounty, post it somewhere conspicuous!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the navy saw Smoker was there, and was so scared that he saluted and said: "Colonel Smoker! How rude!"

But Smoker didn't pay attention to him, because he saw the bounty on the ground, the devil Lake, the bounty: 44.44 million Baileys.

"That kid just now... notify everyone to gather immediately, the Straw Hat Pirates have appeared in Rogue Town, search with all your strength!"

"Yes!"

After saying that, Smoker hurried away, and the old man silently picked up the bounty on the ground, saw the photo on it and smiled and said.

"Hahaha! What shame did he do to the navy to be hated like this?"

Then he posted the bounty on the pillar in the middle of the store and said:

"It seems that this store can't be closed yet, kid, let me, an old man, see what kind of storm you can stir up in this sea."

Lake was naturally unaware of all this. He was looking for his companions everywhere. The appearance of Smoker meant that he would start arresting people soon.

At this time, those troublesome guys were still hanging out outside. If they were caught, it would be troublesome, so Lake didn't dare to delay and started looking for his companions in Rogue Town.

Not long after, he saw Nami coming out of the clothing store, and Usopp following behind with a pile of clothes. Lake asked them to hurry back to the Merry and get ready to leave. It was no longer safe here.

Nami and Usopp didn't ask much, and immediately ran towards the coast. Lake turned around and didn't see the rest of the people. When he was about to go directly to the execution platform to find Luffy.

As a result, he happened to run into Zoro who was walking out of the naval base with a mop in his hand. Zoro didn't expect to meet Lake here, and for a moment he didn't even know how to explain his current appearance.

Lake had no choice but to pull this guy away and rushed to the execution platform. If Zoro was allowed to return to the Merry by himself, there would definitely be an accident.

When he was about to reach the execution platform, he happened to meet Sanji carrying a huge fish. Seeing this, Lake naturally knew that he had won it.

So he put the whole big fish into the space ring without any nonsense, and then said to the two: "After finding Luffy, we will immediately return to the Merry. I have already notified Nami and Usopp."

Seeing Lake's serious expression, Zoro and Sanji nodded. The three of them were still preparing to look for Luffy, but as soon as they approached the execution platform, they looked up and saw a classic scene.

That's right, it was that man, the clown Buggy with lucky color domineering appeared again, and their smart captain was detained on the execution platform and unable to move.

Seeing this, Zoro and Sanji were anxious to take action, but Lake stopped them and said, "Wait a minute... something is wrong."

Sure enough, a large number of navy officers suddenly appeared and surrounded the place. Smoker, the leader, and Dashigi, who was holding a knife beside him, slowly walked towards the execution platform.
