Pirates: Knowledge is power

Roger was obviously happy to see Dram's arrival.

He stood up and thanked Dram: "Haha, I still have some personal matters, so the promise I made back then was completed early. Thanks to your medicine, my life has been very easy in the past few years."

Because of Dram's medicine, Roger has not suffered from pain in the past few years and feels relaxed.

He hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time after he contracted a terminal illness.

Every time he took the medicine, Roger felt like he was back to his youth.

Back then, he sailed on the sea with Rayleigh and others, eating meat, drinking, playing cards, and having adventures with girls.

It is really free and happy.

But those days can never go back, and neither can time.

Now, decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and he is seriously ill and will soon die.

It was no longer possible to sail.

But at least his dream came true.

He reached the final land, became the Pirate King, and learned the truth that had been hidden for a hundred years.

He just felt sorry that he was not the destined person...

But before he died, he could use his death to start a new era.

"It's just a transaction, don't worry about it. The famous Pirate King came to me in person. It's not a big news if it spreads."

Roger smiled and placed the box on the floor on the table.

"Haha, this is the agreed 300 million Baileys and the devil fruit."

Drum didn't even look at the two boxes of money. Anyway, he didn't lack the Bailey.

What interested him most was the Devil Fruit sent by Roger.

Open the box. Lying inside the box is a red Devil Fruit that looks a bit like a pineapple.

When he saw this Devil Fruit, Drum felt a little familiar...

"Haha, this devil fruit is a superhuman-type split fruit. It is the only devil fruit I can take out now."

After hearing Roger's explanation, Drum closed the treasure chest.

He glanced vaguely at Bucky, who was competing with Shanks and stuffing pastries into his mouth. He didn't remember.

Is this Devil Fruit already eaten by Bucky before Roger's duel with the Golden Lion?

Why is it still in Roger's hands?

Could it be that Bucky didn't eat it and is still in a fruitless state?

What Drum didn't know was that Roger's mouth really didn't hold the door.

After returning to the ship and drinking, he showed the contract to all the crew members and read it over.

Only then did the others know the price Roger paid for this year of life.

They can accept 300 million Baileys and a Devil Fruit.

Although these two conditions are a bit more expensive, they are still within their acceptance range.

As long as Roger is healthy, let alone 300 million Baileys.

Even if all the treasures on their ship were taken out, they would have no problem with it.

But Roger regarded his own body after death as part of the deal, which was really hard for them to accept.

What is the difference between Roger's behavior and selling himself?

It was really unacceptable for them to have no peace of mind even after death.

But now that they have taken the medicine, eaten the food, and signed the contract, they can no longer stop it.

Even Roger himself didn't care, and everyone had no choice but to accept this reality.

The Fragmented Fruit came into the hands of the Roger Pirates one year after they sailed again.

When he saw the fruit being torn apart, Bucky did have the idea of ​​swallowing it in exchange for money to buy his own pirate ship.

It has always been Bucky's goal to explore the treasures buried in the sea.

The appearance of the split fruit made Bucky see a shortcut.

But Bucky also knew about Roger's contract and knew that Roger also needed the fragmented fruit.

After some struggle, Bucky only chose to keep a treasure map privately, folded it and hid it in his hat.

As for the fruit being torn apart, he could only stop thinking about it.

"Since you have completed the first two items of the contract, I will wait for your death."

Without thinking too much about why Bucky didn't eat the Devil Fruit, Drum accepted the fruit into pieces and said.

"Hahaha, of course, it's just that after I die, it may be a little difficult for you to get my body." Roger said.

"Is it possible that you still want to surrender to the navy? It is really a pity that the pirate king of the generation did not die in the sea or at the hands of his old enemy, but was killed by two ordinary people with little strength." Delam asked knowingly. .

Knowing that there would be a hundred years of blank time, Roger would definitely choose to surrender to the Navy.

At this time, even if he said he could completely cure Roger's illness, Roger would probably refuse.

After all, Roger had already chosen the ending for himself.

This is his ending as the Pirate King.

"Mr. Durham is really good at predicting things..."

Roger also didn't expect Dram to reveal his plan like this.

It was as if the person in front of him had already anticipated his fate...

"Where are those two brats? Do you want to take them with you?" Dram looked at Shanks and Bucky who were still eating snacks, and asked with a pick of his chin.

"Yes, their current strength is still too weak, so I want to take them with me for a while longer, and in this last bit of time, give them everything they need to teach."

Roger looked at Bucky and Shanks and said softly.

He had watched these two children grow up, and Roger regarded them as his own children.

He now had two years left, plenty of time to teach them.

At least, let them have a way to protect themselves in this chaotic sea.

"Well, good luck to you."

Drum poured the wine, raised his glass, and toasted Roger.

Roger laughed and took it. Someone was toasting him, so he definitely wanted to drink it.

The two drank slowly like this, and soon the table was filled with empty wine bottles.

Roger, whose face was red from drinking, burped.

Looking at Dram, Roger asked his own question:

"Aren't you interested in Ralph Drew? You know, that is a great secret treasure that can become the Pirate King!"

"I'm not a pirate, I'm not interested in that position, and I'm not interested in that blank hundred years. If I wanted to become the Pirate King, then I wouldn't leave you a chance. I would have been one a long time ago."

Drum played with the wine glass and said very arrogantly.

If he wants to become the Pirate King, Roger will never have this chance.

After all, he knew most of the secrets of the world, so it was not difficult to find Rafdru, but it was completely unnecessary.

"Hahahaha..." In response to Dram's answer, Roger lay on the table and laughed so hard that tears flowed from his eyes.

He was really surprised that there were still people who looked down upon the position of the Pirate King and the great secret treasure that he had spent his whole life pursuing...
