One Piece: Start as a mythical beast, practice to become stronger

Roger held the heavy scroll containing the rubbing of the historical text and left a message next to the text.

'I came here to guide this text to the final destination.'

Rayleigh looked at Roger who was full of vigor and sighed:

"The day when all the historical texts are collected is getting closer and closer."

"You are not far from achieving your wish, but unfortunately the information here is of little use in reaching the final destination..."

"Hahahaha, think about it from another angle. There's only one piece missing from the signpost historical text. It's exciting to think about it!" Roger didn't care. He would not fall down before reaching the final island.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face again, and he was very satisfied with this successful exploration.

"Sky Island is beautiful..." Roger looked at the scenery in the distance, "Don't you think so, hahahaha."

Rayleigh and his companions were also very satisfied with this exploration. Even they had not seen many such fantastic islands.

"Thank you for your help. If we hadn't met you, it would have taken us a lot longer." Roger dusted himself off and said to Jin'an and the others with a smile.

"This thing will remain here forever, so as a thank you, please don't spread the news about it," Enel reminded.

He also knew the appeal of the historical text to pirates, and did not want to expose Sky Island to the people of Qinghai, especially the pirates.

Roger and the others nodded and agreed:

"no problem."

......

When Roger and his companions returned to the pirate ship, they were already busy preparing for a grand banquet on the deck.

The pirates' enthusiasm for hosting the banquet broke out at this moment; barrels of rum were brought out, and the tables were filled with fresh seafood and fruits, waiting for the captain to come back and start the banquet.

"Wow!!"

"The Captain is back!"

“Turn on the music!”

"Hurry up and bring out the meat. I've been smelling it for so long, it's killing me!"

"..."

Later, at Roger's call, even some residents of Sky Island were invited to join this ocean of noise and joy.

The birds in the sky seemed to add color to the scene. They flew around the sailboat, chirping happily, as if they could also sense the fun.

Jinan and Enelu were also invited by Roger to attend the banquet.

Enel liked this kind of lively scene and agreed immediately.

Jin An originally didn't want to join in the fun, but he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of Roger and the others, and finally participated as a bystander and integrated into the occasion.

He sat quietly near the mast, enjoying the pirates' singing and shouting while sharing his adventures with his friends on Sky Island.

Amidst the laughter and chatter, the pirates showed off their unique skills one after another. Some were performing difficult shows with swords, while others were grilling fish and cooking lush seafood soup.

The special foods brought by the residents of Sky Island were also added to the banquet's basket, and the enthusiastic exchanges brought them closer together.

Music and laughter intertwined in the sea breeze, and the afterglow of the sunset cast a warm golden hue on this vibrant scene.

The night has enveloped the entire sea area. The stars dot the boundless darkness, adding a bit of mystery and tranquility to this area.

Roger stood at the bow, his gaze deep and profound.

Rayleigh, Kozuki Oden, Spark Jabba, Silkar, Crocus, Buggy the Clown, these big names who are regarded as famous by people in later generations, all gathered together to drink and chat happily.

A pirate group of dozens of people can gain such a great reputation, which is enough to show how extraordinary these people are.

While Jin An was in a daze, Roger walked up to him with a wine glass.

"Jin'an boy, you, a navy man, actually led the way for me. For this, I have to toast you."

Jin An waved his hand, rejecting Roger's kindness, and waved the vegetable juice in his hand in front of Roger:

"I'm sorry, I don't know how to drink, so I'll just use this in my hand to have a drink with you."

Roger was stunned. He didn't expect that there was a sailor who couldn't drink. He shook his head and smiled, then raised his glass and clinked it with the other party.

After finishing the drink, Jin An smacked his lips and said, "Now that you're here, I can't stop you. I might as well take you directly to the main text of history to prevent you from causing any more trouble."

"Hahahaha, no wonder you can become lieutenant general." Roger agreed with the boy he met for the first time.

"In fact, if it weren't for the pressure of life, probably half of the people on our ship would not choose to go out to sea as pirates." Roger shook the wine glass, and his cynical face was reflected in the wine.

"Who can say for sure about this kind of thing? What has already happened is inevitable."

Jin An did not comment. Everyone has encountered difficulties, but the final path is everyone's own choice.

“Hahaha, that’s right…”

"This starry sky is so beautiful." Roger broke the silence. His voice was low and magnetic, as if it could touch people's hearts directly.

He was moved by the unexpected tranquility and friendliness. "Yes, a night like this can make people forget about disputes for a while."

The two of them sat there like that, not diving into the topic right away, choosing instead to just take in the quiet moment and enjoy each other's company.

The wind blew gently, and the sea of ​​clouds slapped against the side of the boat, making waves of sound.

Roger and Jin An were still sitting there, their figures casting long shadows under the soft moonlight.

Roger turned around and looked at the protagonist, his tone becoming firm and full of determination.

"In the coming time, I plan to use all my strength to find those historical texts scattered around the world."

Jin An looked at Roger quietly. He knew that Roger's body had reached its limit and time was more precious to him than to anyone else.

"Why are you telling me this?" Jin An asked back.

"I know this may be my last adventure." Roger smiled, and there was no regret in that smile.

His eyes were deep, as if he could see through the secrets behind this sea.

"After I get the answer, I will choose to surrender to the Navy."

"..."

Rayleigh had been paying attention to Roger. When he heard what he said, his heart was filled with sadness.

He felt bad that his good friend, with whom he had traveled for most of his life, finally chose to die in this way.

But Roger had a terminal illness, and even if they hired the best doctors in the world, they could not save his dwindling life.

Jin An put the cup on the ground and said calmly: "You should talk to Karp about these things. I think he will be happy to see you off for the last time."

"Don't I know what kind of character Garp is?"

"I don't think he'll even care when his grandson is born."

Roger also drank the wine in his hand.
