I have guarded the city of advancement in Pirate Town for 100 years

December 30, 1500 in the lunar calendar.

In the South China Sea, Batili-La Island, under a cherry blossom tree, Roger and White Beard are sitting and drinking.

"Have you decided? White Beard." Roger picked up the wine bowl and asked.

"It's decided." Whitebeard replied.

"Actually, Lockes' strategy is correct. The starry sky is different from the sea. The power gap between the strong and the weak is even greater. Especially in the central star field you described, the demons and the dragons are fighting in chaos, which is extremely dangerous. .” Roger drank half of the bowl of wine, and spilled the other half into the distance.

There, there are five tombstones erected.

It was the companions who died in Jian Fanxing.

"I know." White Beard said: "It's good for Long Bread and the others to stay in East Universe Sea or return to Qinghai. After all, even after the few of us entered the Central Star Field, we had to accept the hairless Queen Kailin's request." shelter.

Only by advancing all the way, proactively reducing staff all the way, absorbing powerful partners from various planets all the way, and growing all the way can we go further.

But this is not what I want, the current Rocks Pirates, to become stronger to become stronger, no longer have the original atmosphere. After this battle, I will ask Captain Lockes to withdraw and form my own adventure group... Even if it is because of this, I will always stay in the East Cosmos Sea! "

He laughed loudly: "There are thousands of living planets in the East Universe Sea, we can't finish it in our lifetime, that's enough."

But wouldn't it be a pity for men like us not to go to the center of the universe and meet the strongest in the starry sky? Roger looked at White Beard and toasted him with another bowl of wine.

"What do you want? Whitebeard."

White Beard drank a bowl full, his eyes were distant and deep, and he said, "Family."

Roger was taken aback, then laughed out loud.

After drinking with Whitebeard until late at night, Roger returned home with a flushed face, but he was no longer bold, with a rare guilty expression on his expression.

In the brightly lit cabin, a tall and beautiful woman with blond wavy hair was waiting for Roger's return.

Portgas D. Loujiu, Roger's confidante from his early adventures at sea, the two have already made a personal decision for life, and she has been waiting for Roger during the 16 years of Roger's adventures in the starry sky.

After Luo Jie came back, the two almost got married in a flash marriage. As the king of the body, Luo Jie was in good health. Within two days, Lu Jiu became pregnant. At this time, her stomach was already tall, and she was even close to the expected date of delivery. It's been a few days.

She poured a glass of water for Roger to sober up, and Roger took it in a hurry and said, "I'll do it myself, I'll do it by myself, Lu Jiu, sit down quickly."

Lu Jiu smiled and said, "Roger, you were not a polite man before."

Roger smiled unnaturally: "Ah, haha, is it? This is not..."

"Are you leaving?" Lu Jiu asked, "After meeting the incoming demons?"

Roger was silent for a moment.

"I can see it, Roger. If it weren't for the prediction of the demon clan's attack, and the special training given to you by His Excellency the King of the World, you probably couldn't help but leave again a few months ago."

Lu Jiu said: "Your heart belongs to adventure, not to family. It doesn't matter, I also like you as a hero, not an ordinary person who takes care of children by my side every day.

Go with peace of mind, I will take good care of the child, but how much... Can you stay for a while, at least until the child is full moon? "

Luo Jie looked at Lu Jiu, thousands of words finally merged into one sentence: "Well, I'm sorry."

He was touched by White Beard's words, and at one point really wanted to stay in Qinghai and East Universe Sea like White Beard did—White Beard just wanted his family, but he really had a family.

But different personalities, yearning and pursuit of the central star field, after all, made him unable to make the same choice, and also prevented him from being a qualified husband and father...

...

"Responsibility! Responsibility! Do you know what responsibility and responsibility are?!" At the same time, Karp also educated the dragon about love for the nth time.

"You are a navy, not those adventurers. What you need to do is to ensure the safety of our Qinghai! But what have you done?!

Once you entered the starry sky, you lost contact all year round. Even as a father, I can only see you from newspapers? Do you feel honored?

Rescue some half-demons? That's right, those are innocent children, and saving them is to carry out our justice, but what do you want to do by picking and saving the children of the half-demon race? ! "

There was a slight wind blowing in front of the dragon, blocking all Garp's spittle, and he leaned back helplessly: "Calm down, Father, don't you think that the chaotic battle between the sky dragons and the demons in the starry sky is the source of chaos, you need to Will it change? A half-demon who is hated by both sides at the same time..."

"I know!" Garp interrupted: "But you don't know how capable you are? Even Mr. Figo hasn't done anything yet, you can't even beat me, are you looking for death?!"

"If you want to initiate a change, someone has to lead it. Even if I die because of it, my will can still be passed on..." Long argued.

"Pass it! Pass it on!" Garp put on his slippers furiously: "You pass on our surname first! Let me tell you, if you don't give me a grandson, you don't want to enter the starry sky again!"

The dignified king who lit the lamp was beaten by a slipper so that he ran away with his head in his arms.

...

"Come after me, come and catch me!"

In the recruit school field, Naika ran with long legs to avoid the chase of his partners, and he didn't feel tired when he ran.

Suddenly sensing someone in front of her, she slammed on the brakes and stopped, seeing a strong old man holding a thermos, and blinked.

"Grandpa Kinch?"

"Well, little Naika, run slowly." Jin Che smiled at her, took a sip of tea, and walked slowly away in a walking style.

The life after retirement is so boring. He has no children and no daughters after dedicating his whole life to Jincheng City. The only old friend left is Figo. Seeing that Figo is still angry, he can only take a walk every day and come to the new barracks to see his vitality Vigorous kids.

But what flickered in his mind at this time was what Figo said to him more than ten days ago.

‘Old Jin, your strength is mediocre. Asking Ana to help you go back 20 years will not cost her a few years of life. This favor is mine, and I will find a way to help her make up for the loss of life.

And if you are 20 years younger, you will have a great chance to light the lamp through your body. In conversion, it is equivalent to extending your life by 80 or 90 years, and you can go back to Jinjin City to continue to shine. Wouldn't it be wonderful? '

It's obviously a good intention, but I have to say that.

It's really annoying.

So should I do it or not?

He was a little hesitant. Losing someone’s life for a few years is not a small favor. Figo said it easily. If the life-extending treasure fruit is so easy to find, the starry sky will be full of old monsters, not to mention Miya waiting in the future ...

"Lord Jin Qie!" A voice suddenly came from the front, interrupting Jin Qie's thinking.

Jin Qie looked straight ahead, and in front of him was a fur boy with jaguar fur, who was also a member of the recruit reserve class. His name seemed to be Pedro?

"What is it, child?"

Pedro asked: "Master Jinche, I think the generals of the Navy Headquarters are in a hurry recently, and I haven't seen the three generals for a long time, and the atmosphere of the entire Navy Headquarters is not right.

Is something big going to break out? war? then what? us……"

Sensitive child, this child is suitable for guarding the prison. Jin Qie shook his head and said, "Those things have nothing to do with you now, child."

"But……"

"Everyone has a chance to appear on the stage, and it's not your turn now." Jin Qie said earnestly: "Grow up with peace of mind."

Pedro froze for a moment, realized something, looked at Jin Qie with admiration and said, "I know!"

Jin Che smiled and continued to walk far away.

Everyone has a chance to make an appearance? He murmured what he said in his heart, where is the chance for me to appear on the stage for more than a hundred years?

‘It’s really not reconciled to grow old and die like this...’

...

"Hahahahaha, I'm really excited when I think about it, we, we Qinghai, are about to have a grand debut ceremony in the starry sky!" In a certain tavern, a big fat man with only a golden whip on his back laughed and said .

"We are not the main force, Quinn. Whether we need to participate in the war is still unknown."

"Hey, Jhin, you bastard, can you stop pouring cold water all the time?" The big fat man was dissatisfied.

"I'm just stating the facts."

"cut……"

The two started arguing habitually.

...

In another tavern, Marco, Joz and the others were drinking happily.

"I don't know what happened to the red hair either."

"That kid is smart and talented, and he will be fine. Maybe we will have to rely on him to take care of us when we venture into the stars in the future."

"Hahaha, by the way, what do you think of Lockes' invitation?"

"This... If you enter the central star field directly, I'm afraid it's a bit early, well, let's wait until after this battle..."
