Pirate's Freedom

A month later.

South China Sea, Beatrice Island.

Near the port, in a bar called "The Pig and the Whistle".

The guests sat together in twos and threes, drinking and chatting.

Tata Tot also ordered a glass of milk and listened carefully to their conversation while sipping the milk.

"Hey, did you hear that?"

"You mean the guys in suits?"

"They were seen in the harbor."

"How is it possible? Isn't it only Batelila Island?"

"Could it be that... here we will also..."

"No...it's impossible..."

The atmosphere of panic is quietly spreading...

This bar is just a small microcosm of the entire island, and Beatrice Island is just one of the many inconspicuous islands near Batelila Island.

It’s hard to imagine what the center of all this, Batelila Island, looks like now.

Tata Tot drank all the milk in the glass in one gulp, put Bailey on the table, turned and walked out of the bar.

[After Roger surrendered, someone reported to the Navy that they witnessed Roger's behavior on Badelira Island being different from that of a pirate. The Pirate King looked like an ordinary father. 】

Then based on this information without any evidence, the navy came to Badelila Island and investigated the babies and pregnant women born within 10 months after Roger was imprisoned, and even killed all the suspicious mothers.

This is the whole story of the [Batlila Island Incident] that he learned about in his previous life.

What is written on paper is just a short paragraph.

Even if it is drawn as a comic, it only has a few thin pages.

But all this happened before Tata Tot witnessed it.

Although he was not afraid of the green pheasant, he couldn't help but hesitate.

If I keep going forward, what will I see?

Will what appears before our eyes be a sea of ​​blood or an ocean of tears?

What truly existed ahead, created by human malice, was a horror beyond death that filled his heart.

As the last person to talk to the Pirate King before his death, Tata Tot did receive some kind of precious treasure from Roger.

Sengoku said to Ace at the top of the war——

"That woman went far beyond what we could have imagined. Her strong desire to protect her children actually made her spend 20 months conceiving the child in her belly!! While giving birth to you, she finally lost her strength because of her physical strength. Almost exhausted, he died on the spot."

Portkas D. Luju was a great mother.

Various factors came together, allowing him to travel day and night within this month to arrive at this island which was only one step away from Batelila Island.

But it wasn't until this moment that he finally realized what he was about to face——

Portcas D. Luju was only a small part of the huge tragedy that was happening before us. It could even be said that she was a small warm color in this cold tragedy.

The intense emotions made Tata Tot walk aimlessly, and he came to the seaside unknowingly.

[I don’t care what people in this world say about me, I just want to do things according to my beliefs and never regret it, no matter now or in the future. 】

It is precisely because you don’t want to regret that you must do things according to your beliefs.

Tata Tot took a deep breath.

He took out an expressionless phone bug from his pocket and dialed the number——

Strange petals appeared on the back of Phone Bug's head and he spoke.

“What’s the price of rum?”

"A barrel of rum is only 50 beli higher, and there is no profit at all."

"Go and inquire about other wines. If you don't do anything, this business will be ruined."

"But I always feel that the atmosphere is not right, so it's better to leave as soon as possible."

"There is no easy way to earn a Bailey on the sea, so hurry up and go!"

"Okay... well, I see."

After hanging up the phone, Tata Tot jumped into the sea with a slight leap, found the direction, and swam quickly.

Three hours later, the outline of Beatrice Island had disappeared below the horizon.

Tata Tote's Haki also noticed a strange vibration - it was the cry of a whale.

A moment later, a rapidly expanding black shadow appeared under the sea. Following a huge wave, an island whale with a scar on its forehead rushed out of the water.

The whale named Rab looked at Tata Tot carefully and opened his huge mouth.

Tata Tot swam in without hesitation.

This whale is so huge that it even has a small ocean inside it.At the edge of the ocean is a small island. Next to the painted house, a man with strange petals on the back of his head is standing there waiting for him.

Soaring into the sky on moon steps, Tata Tot quickly arrived at his side.

After describing in detail what he saw and heard on Beatrice Island——

Tata Tot looked at the Pirate King's ship's doctor and said seriously: "Kulokas, the plan is going to change a little."

……

a month ago.

Upside Down Mountain, Twin Point.

Koulokas sat on a lounge chair under the lighthouse and read the newspaper.

"Pirate King" Roger's last words when he was executed were printed on it verbatim——

【Do you want my treasure?If you want it, go to the sea to find it!I put it all in there! 】

After carefully reading all the reports about the execution of the Pirate King, Kurokas took off his glasses and closed his eyes.

"Is this the last thing you want to do...Roger..."

At this moment, a figure fell from the high sky. Just when it was about to hit the Twin Capes, it stepped on the air with both feet and slowly landed on the ground amidst the explosion.

Kurokas glanced at him.

"Whatever you came here to do, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help you."

Tata Tot remained unmoved and looked calm.

"I'm here to tell you that on Batelila Island in the South China Sea, the navy is searching for the bloodline of Pirate King Roger."

Kurokas frowned, his eyes sharp.

"I am indeed here to see the Pirate King's ship doctor, but I am not from the World Government."

As if he knew what he was thinking, Tata Tot said bluntly. After speaking, he pointed to the newspaper in his hand and said: "One Piece's last words are for everyone in the world, but as an answer, I think it should be I said."

After understanding, Kurokas' eyes were surprised and he looked at Tata Tot again: "So you are the bold guy. It seems that you are very lucky to see you here."

"but--"

Kurokas meant something: "You seem to know more than I thought."

Tata Tot was noncommittal and suddenly talked about an unrelated matter: "When I was in Rogge Town, I worked in a coffee shop. The boss's name was 'Ogusge'."

"This name... I seem to have heard Roger mention it..."

Kurokas thought about it carefully for a moment, but didn't have much impression. He turned to Tata Tot and said, "Roger may have indeed left blood, but I don't know about it."

Tata Tot took a deep breath. He knew that whether he could make Kurokas believe in him or not, the next step was the key to everything——

"I can never empathize with the pain that others suffer. Suffering that is not happening in front of me is too far away for me."

"But I did get something precious from Roger."

He said to Kurokas sincerely: "In this case, we must not turn a blind eye."

Kurokas's expression also became serious. He stared at this guy closely, as if he was getting acquainted with Tata Tot again.

"So, is there anything I can do?"
