Simultaneous Travel: Me and My Countless Others

South China Sea.

Batirila Island.

Roger held Lu Jiu's hand, the pirate king who used to turn his hand to make clouds and rain.

No longer slicing through the waves, looking for treasures under the wind and frost, just like an ordinary husband, with a smile on his lips, enjoying the tranquility under the sunset.

"Lu Jiu, if such days can continue, it would be nice..." Roger half squatted down and caressed his wife's belly lovingly:

"I really want to see Ace born, but unfortunately, I will have to complete my mission in two months..."

"Can I stay with you for another two months? It's so beautiful." Lu Jiu stroked Roger's head, her voice quiet and intellectual.

"Lu Jiu..." Roger called his wife's name emotionally and slowly grabbed her hand.

Facing the waves, the two people snuggled under the sunset, a happy couple.

And at this moment.

A burst of applause slowly came from not far away.

Luke, dressed in a black casual suit, smiled at Roger and Lu Jiu: "What a touching scene, Roger."

Roger quickly took a big step forward and protected his wife behind him.

In the perception of observation Haki, Luke's threat level is extremely high!

"Who are you!" Roger asked in a deep voice.

"Vice Admiral Xuanhu..." Luke said with a smile: "Pirate King, do you want to fight with me?"

"Your wife is next to you. I don't know if she can bear it if you and I fight with Haki Haki..."

Roger's pupils shrank instantly.

After getting married, he has not experienced a battle, and he does not plan to experience a battle.

When he was a pirate, although the crew members were brothers with him, he did not need to consider them when fighting...

Especially when facing a strong enemy, life and death are determined by fate and wealth is determined by God.

If he survived, he would find an opportunity to avenge his dead brothers!

Even if Roger didn't find Raftel, he would still be one of the three sea overlords with Golden Lion and Whitebeard. This title was not earned by laughing loudly on the sea...

but earned by killing with swords and guns!

But after having the concept of wife and family, Roger realized it belatedly.

He was no longer the same as before...

He had a soft spot!

Roger could make the island tremble when he was fighting with Whitebeard with Conqueror's Haki, without worrying about which kid would be overturned by the gust of wind, even if he was killed on the spot.

But can he treat Lu Jiu like this?

A beauty like a delicate flower, even if she just fell on the spot, has the possibility of withering...

"You...what do you want?" Roger slowly clenched his fists, his eyes solemn.

"Let's make a deal. I'll protect your wife and children, and you'll cooperate with me completely."

Luke laughed evilly: "Roger, don't act so hesitant... You're dying of illness, and you've disbanded the pirate group after finding Raftel. Do you think no one can guess what you want to do?"

"If I don't come to arrest you, you'll surrender to the navy."

Roger trembled all over, and his tiger eyes were full of murderous intent in an instant, staring at Luke.

This is not just about his wife and children...

It's also about Raftel and the future of this world!

"You...how did you know! Who are you and what do you want to do!" Roger shouted in a deep voice, but in his serious tone, there was already panic that could not be concealed.

Luke looked at Roger quietly.

The so-called hero's twilight years are nothing more than this...

A pirate overlord who pursues freedom, in the last period of time when he is seriously ill, has shackles and concerns.

How much of the previous heroism and decisiveness can be left?

"You are really a forgetful person, aren't you?"

Luke took out the mask he had worn on Whitebeard's ship for more than ten years and put it on his face: "Don't you like the meat and wine I cook?"

Roger's eyes widened as wide as he could, and he murmured: "It's you! The amazing cook on Newgate's ship!"

At this moment, Roger's memory instantly drifted back to the day when he said goodbye to Whitebeard.

Whitebeard once asked him how to get to Raftel, but he didn't want to go there himself, but asked for Luke.

After he refused, he asked him who Luke was...

Whitebeard didn't ask any more, but just told him unhappily not to be caught by Luke, he had been targeted...

If he was caught, Whitebeard would not plead for him and Luke!

"Luke...you are the Luke that Newgate said!" Roger was filled with mixed feelings.

Luke nodded without comment: "Roger, I will use your life to exchange for military merit and power. In return for your non-resistance, I will arrange a file for your wife and children as a family member of the Navy, and they will live safely in the Navy Headquarters from now on."

"Don't worry about the CP organization's spies. I will let them find a female pirate to kill and replace them."

"As long as you listen to me, I will also give you the opportunity to announce to the world that the great treasure is real..."

Roger clenched his fist and then loosened it, repeating it several times.

In the end, he helplessly discovered that both his plan to surrender and the lives of his wife and children were already tightly held in Luke's hands.

Even if he attacked Luke desperately...

The observation Haki told him that he, who was now terminally ill, might not be able to take down the man in front of him.

The most terrifying thing was...Roger found that he didn't dare to gamble anymore.

He lost his ferocity as a pirate!

If it were his former self, and he was threatened like this, Roger felt that he would seize the last chance and do his best to kill Luke!

"How terrible, Pirate King, he is really like a monster..."

Luke sighed sincerely: "Even if he is seriously ill and has a weakness, is there a lion in his eyes?"

Roger's face darkened.

For some reason, he always felt that hiding a lion in his eyes was not a good thing...

"Come on board, Roger, let's turn this world upside down together?"

Luke raised his eyebrows: "Madam, please come along... I swear on the name of the Whitebeard Pirates, I will protect you."

Lu Jiu smiled helplessly and bowed lightly to Luke: "Thank you for your trouble."

Roger's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Being able to swear on the Whitebeard Pirates means that Luke is at least sincere!

Although he couldn't figure it out...

How could there be a Luke in the Whitebeard Pirates, who values ​​his family so much and has a generous personality?

Although he is a navy, his methods are no longer like those of a pirate...

After arriving on the warship.

Luke picked up the Den Den Mushi and started to call people.

"Rosinante? It's me. You wait for me at the Navy Headquarters and prepare to go to Marijoa with me. I have prepared the materials for you."

Luke handed Roger a bottle of wine, and brought Lu Jiu a bottle of milk and a blanket to protect against the sea breeze:

"Roger, Rosinante's father voluntarily gave up his identity as a Celestial Dragon and became an ordinary person. I need you to be his bargaining chip to return to Marijoa."

Roger nodded silently.

But Luke's next words made his eyes light up.

"Can you still fight now? If you can, do you want your wife to see you as the Pirate King? The Celestial Dragons will probably detain you for questioning, I can find a way to get you moving..."

"Go and release all the slaves of the Celestial Dragons, let Marijoa burn, and I'll catch you again!"

"Lu Jiu will stay on my ship, I'll let Marco and Barrett come to protect her, nothing will go wrong."

Roger's mouth curled up, and he suddenly laughed: "Interesting, it's really interesting!"

"Lu Jiu, do you want to see me like that?" Roger turned his head and looked at his wife.

Lu Jiu smiled sweetly: "If you were not the Pirate King who traveled all over the world, but just a sloppy uncle with a beard, I wouldn't like you..."

"I want to see it!"

Roger nodded with satisfaction, as if a flame was burning in his eyes.

It was such a bold thing for the Pirate King to invade the Red Earth Continent Marijoa before he died?

And for Luke,

It is certainly a good thing to liberate slaves, but more importantly, in this chaos, we should make friends with the Fishman Island...

During this period, Fisher Tiger should have been captured.

It is still very important to let him go during the fight and leave a good impression on the Fishman tribe who holds the Sea King.

A few days later.

Rosinante, Barrett and Marco all arrived on Luke's ship.

"Brother, you, you, you actually captured Roger!" Rosinante's eyes widened in disbelief.

Although in the past two years, Rosinante has become a qualified spy under the training of Zhan Guo and can control his emotions well.

But in front of Luke, he is still that cute blond kid.

Especially the fact that Luke captured Roger is even more surprising.

And on another warship.

Barrett looked at Roger with complicated eyes and shook his head: "You are really not the strongest anymore. Both Luke and Dad can defeat you."

Marco scratched his head: "Take Roger to exchange for a Celestial Dragon, and then cheat the World Government's subsidies? He is really capable!"

Behind Marco and Barrett, Lu Jiu smiled with relief.

She already knew...

Marco is the son of her husband's friend, Barrett is the same, and he is also Roger's former crew member.

They are all her own people.

It seems that Luke really does not intend to make things difficult for his mother and son, and he wants Roger to go crazy before he dies...

This Luke is really a mysterious man.

Not only himself, but even Roger, don't know what he wants to do, right?

"Brother Luke, are the Seven Warlords of the Sea going with us?" Rosinante pointed to the warship behind him.

"Although we are pirates, they all call me captain, and I am one of them..." Luke patted Rosinante's head: "Your most urgent task now is to be proficient in your words, because Roger has memorized them long ago."

"I took you to the South China Sea to practice with pirates, and accidentally ran into Roger who was out to sea with his wife and daughter. After a big battle, I subdued Roger, and you also attacked him when Roger was sick, which gave me a chance."

"His wife and daughter all sank to the bottom of the sea, and their bodies were not found."

Rosinante blinked and asked in confusion: "Why do you say that? He doesn't have a wife and daughter either..."

Luke sighed: "This bastard is promiscuous and has connections with many women... The World Government will definitely worry about the inheritance of the bloodline of the Pirate King."

"Women and even innocent children who have come into contact with Roger will be captured and secretly executed. In order to prevent these poor people from being implicated, we will take the blame."

Rosinandi sighed: "The World Government will indeed do this...Obviously the purpose of capturing the Pirate King is to prevent more people from being harmed, but instead it will harm more people."

Roger blinked fiercely at Luke from behind Rosinandy.

That’s right bro!

That's it!

If it weren't for the heavy sea-tower stone shackles that restrained him from head to toe, Roger would have wanted to jump high and give Luke a thumbs-up sign...

And Roger, who was in chains, also understood what Luke was going to do.

This sea-tower stone shackle seems to be indestructible and extremely heavy, but in fact, the inside has been damaged beyond recognition and is full of spider web-like cracks.

Roger, who has the ability to listen to the sounds of all things, can even hear the groan of the stone shackles of this sea tower...

I really don’t know how Luke did it.

Obviously, the craftsmanship for processing sea floor stone should only be available in Wano country, right?

What Roger didn't know was that Luke was an eighth-level skilled craftsman when it came to processing sea floor stones...

Nothing but familiar hands and ears.

No matter who has leveled the eight sea floor stone mines, they will be able to handle them with ease.

"Don't you tell the Warring States General about this?" Rosinandi asked softly.

"What are you talking about? After all, it is a matter of bullying. If one less person knows, if it is exposed, one less backbone of the Navy will be implicated when it comes to accountability."

Luke glanced sideways at Rocinante: "What, you don't believe me or I'm still scared?"

Rosinandi quickly shook his head, looked at the sea in the distance, and raised the corners of his mouth: "I don't want to tell him either...Brother Luke, I have grown up! I can do some things!"

"No longer a child who can only be protected by others..."

actually.

Rocinante has many more questions to ask…

For example, how did Luke catch Roger? But since Luke didn't say anything, Rosinandi wouldn't ask...

In particular, Rosinandi could vaguely sense Luke's attitude towards the World Government.

That's not the same as the Warring States Period, there is still the idea of ​​compromise and alliance...

Rather, it is like a wild beast that chooses people to devour. It just slowly lurks down, temporarily puts away its claws, and waits for the opponent to relax and kill him!

Rocinante, who had been by Luke's side for a long time, was naturally assimilated by Luke.

In other words, he was specially influenced by Luke to become like this...

Time passes slowly.

Two warships sailed on the sea one after another and arrived at Mariejoia.

"This is my first time to come to this place. It's so majestic!" Roger laughed arrogantly: "It is indeed a good place to burn it to ashes!"

Rosinandy glanced at Roger but said nothing.

Because he also thinks so...

The more he knew what the Tianlong people had done, the more sensible Luo Nandi felt that his body was full of sinful blood.

"Hello, Wulaoxing?" Luke answered the calls from several bad old men.

"Who are you and why do you have our number?" A man with a sense of superiority said in a deep voice.

"I am Vice Admiral Luke. Together with Rosinandi, we captured Roger. Now we have escorted the prisoner to Mariejoia." Luke said in a lazy voice, "Call someone to pick me up."

At this moment, the upper baritone suddenly broke into a voice: "What! Okay, I'll send someone right away!"
