Pirates: Who said I am Roger?

At the same time,

Thrall and Garp collided again and fell into a stalemate. The confrontation of the domineering colors formed a circular field of distorted air.

"Roger......"

"Karp......"

The two men shouted to vent their emotions. They already knew that Ace had escaped, which made both sides have other ideas.

Sal had no intention of continuing the fight. It was difficult to tell the winner between the two men. Even if they continued to fight, they would only exhaust the power left by Roger.

At the same time, Garp, as the opponent, became absent-minded. If Ace had not been rescued, he could still barely convince himself with the justice he carried. Now that Ace has escaped, his heart can't help but be in turmoil. The few memories of Ace calling him grandpa came to his mind. That rebellious bastard grandson was sometimes cute. And Luffy's silly look, two relatives standing on the opposite side of him, this is an emotion that is difficult to calm down.

When Garp was distracted, Sal instantly seized the opportunity.

The afterimage remained in place, and Sal had already come to the white-haired old man. When Garp came to his senses, Ace's blade had already swung to his chest, and the dark red slash directly knocked Garp out and crashed into the island along the building.

"boom....Long...."

Soon, Garp reappeared in Thrall's sight. His black shirt became tattered, and the deep wound on his chest did not affect his momentum.

Just as the two were in a standoff again, Marinford suddenly shook violently. When both sides were attracted by the situation in the distance, a huge crack appeared between the two, like a crack in the abyss swallowing up soil, stone walls, steel buildings, and even corpses.

Whitebeard's desperate attack was so terrifying that it temporarily interrupted the fight between the two. They stared at each other across the crack from a distance, and no one made a move. Not to mention that the two men's fighting spirit was greatly reduced, this sudden crack was seen by both sides as an opportunity to take the initiative. Whoever jumps up first will be hit into the crack.

After a moment of silence, Garp looked at Thrall from a distance, took a deep breath, and asked in a loud voice:

"Roger, are all the things you said that night true?"

Without further explanation, Sal already knew that Karp was talking about that night. According to his persistent understanding of Karp, if what he thought was friendship was just an excuse for others to take advantage of him, no matter who he was, he would not be able to accept it. It would only lead to a breakup or even a fight to the death.

"like.......No, Garp, what he said that night was true. The Pirate King was indeed executed on the execution platform, and this body was only able to move some time ago."

"......"

Garp thought Thrall's explanation was weird, but because of Roger's trust in him, he chose to believe this strange statement. In his opinion, although resurrection was bizarre, it was not unacceptable.

After all, according to his understanding, the Five Elders were suspected to be old monsters who had survived for hundreds or thousands of years, and Kozuki Oden's wife Kozuki Toki, a former member of Roger and Whitebeard, seemed to be the user of the Time Fruit.

All this information was secretly investigated by the CP0 organization. Originally, the World Government had a plan for the Time Fruit, but unfortunately Kozuki Toki died before the plan was implemented.

That's why this secret was made public, allowing the top navy officials to learn about the plan.

Just when both parties were about to do their own things, Thrall still asked the question that was like a fishbone in his heart.

"Garp, why did you accept Ace as your grandson? Do you think you are of a higher generation? Or do you feel happy to take advantage of him?......."

Garp stopped walking, and after hearing this question, he turned around and looked at Sal again, picking his nose with his little finger and said disdainfully:

"I don't have as many tricks as you, Roger. The reason I adopted Ace as my grandson was simply because of the age issue. I thought you would be single for life.

Who knew that when my son was about to get married, you could still trick Portgas ?·D·Lu Jiu gave birth to children for you. To be honest, you are not worthy of everything Lu Jiu has done for you."

"......"

Garp turned around and left. On that night 22 years ago, he was indeed shocked by the woman with extraordinary willpower. He only had respect and pity for her in his heart. The bastard Roger actually found such a wonderful woman before his death.

22 years ago, after Roger was executed, Lu Jiu was pregnant with Ace for 20 months in order to keep Ace in her belly. She gave birth to Ace only after all the navy left. Garp's arrival allowed Lu Jiu to ensure Ace's safety. In the morning sunshine, Yiren died with Ace in her arms. She was a great mother.

Sal listened to Garp's ridicule in silence. If the word"old bachelor" was affected by the residual soul, he would still feel a little unhappy. But after continuing to listen to the words of pity for Lu Jiu, he could only sigh in his heart.

Anyway, it was all Roger's fault, and he, Sal, would not help him.

Thinking of this, Sal felt much better and walked away cursing at Garp. Damn Garp, not only ridiculed himself before leaving, but also mentioned a sad thing.

Sar quickly walked towards Whitebeard. This earth-shattering blow made him feel bad.

On the way, he met up with Rayleigh who came over. The blow of the collapsed island not only stopped Sar's fight, but also Rayleigh and Aokiji stopped fighting.

The two soon came to the edge of the crack, where a group of Whitebeard Pirates had gathered, and other pirates also rushed here. The people standing in the front were several scarred captains.

Marco, Ace, Diamond Joz, Vista, Ice Witch Wildibe, except Ace, the others were members who had followed Whitebeard for more than 20 years.

In his memory, when Roger fought Whitebeard, their young figures were already behind Whitebeard.

At this time, Whitebeard, holding Kusugawa Kirei, was on the other side of the crack. His tall body was facing away from everyone. As a strong man, his momentum was like a giant standing tall, and he did not waver even when facing the surrounding navy.

Thrall frowned slightly. With his peak-level observation Haki, even though Whitebeard had his back to everyone and not a single drop of blood had fallen from his feet, Thrall could still sense that Whitebeard's life flame was very weak.

"Dad, we're here to save you."

"Wait for me, Dad."

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy"X999

Whitebeard's behavior made the pirates very clear about their father's decision. This was to sacrifice himself to protect everyone. The pirates all cried bitterly.

Facing the crying child, Whitebeard just continued to turn his back to everyone and said lightly.

"Children, I am a remnant of the old times, and the new times have no boats that can carry me."

"Dad......"

As the navy formed an encirclement, Zhan Guo, who was in the rear, couldn't help but sigh.

"Whitebeard, even his stomach was burned through, I didn't expect he still had such a strong power."

Whitebeard's eyes showed a sign of collapse, but he still held back and pretended to be unshakable.

"It's still a long way to go, Sengoku, let me be your opponent."

Without any hesitation, the blood-thirsty marines immediately launched an attack. Even the strongest man in the world could not stop the marines at this moment.

Countless bullets and weapons attacked the tall body, but were instantly blown away by the rotating blade wind. Then, every time Whitebeard swung Kusugawa Kirei, he could sweep away a large group of marines.

Sal watched Whitebeard's battle from afar, and his hand couldn't help but grip the hilt of the knife. If they fought again, they would have many chances to rescue Whitebeard, after all, the combat power of both sides was not much different.

Sal habitually turned his head to look at Rayleigh, resourceful partner, what do you think.

Rayleigh, although his breathing was quite chaotic, still smiled and pretended to be calm and said

"You make the decision, Roger."

Whitebeard's determination was clearly felt by both of them. Starting the war again might not be a good thing for Whitebeard.

Before Thrall could make a decision, Ace, who was standing next to him, saw that Whitebeard was constantly suffering from minor injuries, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to use flame jet to fly over.

Suddenly, Whitebeard interrupted Ace's action with a hoarse shout, as if he had anticipated the children's thoughts behind him.

"Luo...Jay....Why did you surrender yourself 22 years ago? Why didn't you spend the remaining time with Ace's mother and enjoy the little family happiness you had left?"

"......"

This shout not only interrupted the actions of the navy and the pirates, but even Rayleigh looked at Thrall in confusion, obviously thinking of something.

Thrall froze for less than a second, and immediately stepped forward to press Ace, who was about to move, to the ground, with his stubborn young face pressed against the concrete floor, unable to move.

At this moment, he was filled with mixed feelings, and the voice of Whitebeard disappearing kept lingering in his mind.

Yes, why didn't Roger enjoy the happiness of family in his last moments?.......

Thrall always had the answer in his heart.
