Pirate: It's reasonable for a pirate like me to look for treasure.

After the battle, the enemy was in trouble.

Lake smiled when he heard what Smoker said and let go of his hand and changed back to his original appearance and said, "Not really, not really. Besides, you guys started it first. We are acting in self-defense. If nothing else, we will withdraw. See you again, Brother Smoker~"

Lake's casual look made Smoker stunned, because the report he received said that the Straw Hat Pirates were all vicious criminals.

Especially the man in front of him. The way he acted made Smoker want to make friends with him, but he quickly put the idea behind him.

After getting up again with difficulty, he came to Dashiki and said, "If you feel unwilling, work harder! How can you stand on your own in the future if you are so depressed because of a little setback? Stand up, Dashiki!"

Encouraged by Smoker's words, Dashiki finally got up and calmed down a lot. She wiped her tears and said, "What should we do now, Colonel Smoker."

Smoker looked at Lake and his group going away, gritted his teeth and said, "Notify the headquarters, I want to go back. I must tell the marshal about the Straw Hat Pirates in person."

After solving the navy blocking the way, Lake took Luffy, Zoro and Sanji to the coast. When they were halfway, Lake suddenly stopped again.

Without waiting for his companions to ask, Lake turned around and said, "You go first. It seems that someone wants to talk to me. Don't worry, I will catch up soon."

Luffy was silent for a while and said, "Lake, you must catch up quickly. Zoro, Sanji, let's go!"

After responding, the three continued to head towards the coast. Lake stood there and chuckled and said, "Do you guys like to play this game?"

"It seems that it is not simple. I should have been discovered a long time ago." Suddenly, an inexplicable voice came from the air.

Then a man wrapped in a green robe appeared. The slipper mark on his face... tattoo proved his identity.

Luffy's father, Monkey D. Dragon, is known as the world's most vicious criminal. It can only be said that he is worthy of being a big man. His appearances all come with special effects.

The inexplicable weather in Rogue Town should be his masterpiece, because when Lake was looking for someone, it was still sunny. When Luffy was on the execution platform, the weather became like this, with dark clouds and heavy rain.

Lake did not hide it and said directly: "I noticed it when I came out of the tavern, but you look familiar, uncle."

Lake certainly could not tell Long's identity directly, so he pretended a little, otherwise if he aroused the suspicion of this big man, he would be afraid that he would threaten his son to kill him.

Lake did not answer Lake, but looked at him carefully and said: "I am Long, the leader of the Revolutionary Army. Are you interested in joining the Revolutionary Army?"

Lake was also shocked by Long's words, and said puzzledly: "Are you okay, uncle? I am a pirate, but I have no interest in the Revolutionary Army."

Lake's face did not show any emotional fluctuations, and he spoke again: "Your ideas will eventually collide with Luffy's path."

Lake frowned when he heard Long's words. He didn't understand why Long would say this to him. Just when he was still thinking about what to say, Long spoke again.

"Well, there may be different results. Luffy is in your hands. Let's go. Your friends must be waiting anxiously. I'll take you a ride."

What a guy who didn't let people talk and wanted to drive them away. Lake was speechless, but it was really useless to think so much now.

So Lake stood up and said, "No need, I'll go by myself."

A red hexagram appeared in Lake's eyes after he finished speaking. The next second, Lake disappeared. In fact, he turned into a gust of wind and left.

This scene also shocked Long, who was still so arrogant just now. He looked at the direction where Lake left and said to himself, "That eye..."

The reason why Lake did this was naturally to pretend well, so that this guy came up and said a lot of words that he couldn't understand inexplicably.

Lake, who turned into a gust of wind, came to the coast in a short while, and picked up Zoro on the way. As for the reason, Lake didn't want to ask.

On the Merry, the companions only saw Zoro being carried back to the ship by a gust of wind, but the appearance was not very pretty. Luffy thought it was Zoro's new move.

As a result, Lake suddenly appeared on the ship the next second, and Zoro fell directly to the deck. Seeing Lake appear, Zoro immediately pointed at him and shouted.

"I knew it was you! Lake,

Suddenly I was swept away, I thought it was a monster!"

Lake rolled his eyes at Zoro and said, "How dare you say that? I asked you three to go first, why did you run back alone in such a remote alley!"

Zoro shouted at Lake in disbelief, "What! Impossible, I was running towards the coast!"

Lake was too lazy to argue with this guy, and ignored him and came to Nami and said, "Get ready to set sail, take advantage of this weather and go directly to the Grand Line."

Nami nodded and began to give orders, and the companions also got busy, and the Merry set sail again.

At the port of Rogue Town, Long stood on the roof and looked at this scene and said with a smile, "Go! If this is the path you choose, we will definitely meet again one day in the future. "

...

On the Merry, on the turbulent sea, they are heading towards their next goal, but a ceremony is needed before that.

Lake will naturally never forget this scene, but he never thought that he could join it one day.

Sanji found a bucket, then took the lead in putting his foot on it and said: "I want to find ALL BULE!"

Then the companions began to follow suit and said their goals and dreams one by one.

Luffy: "I want to become the Pirate King!"

Zoro: "I want to become the world's number one swordsman!"

Nami: "I want to draw a map of the world!"

Usopp: "I... I want to be a brave sea warrior!"

Only Lake is left, and everyone is looking at him at this time. Lake looks at the scene in front of him and smiles from the bottom of his heart, then steps forward and says.

"I will protect each of you until the end! "

After Lake came to this world, he was helpless and had no family. The companions in front of him were the people he valued most in this world.

So he would do his best to protect everyone. This was his goal, now and in the future, even if it cost him his life.

Everyone smiled when they heard Lake's words. Finally, they all crushed the barrels under their feet and set off towards the Grand Line against the wind!
