Roger Pirates

Chapter 48 Roger Pirates

At this moment, outside the gate.

Suzuki looked at Crocus, whose face had darkened, and silently expressed his sorrow for the possible fate that Roger might face.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Meanwhile, Rayleigh, Shanks, and Buggy were laughing so hard they were clutching their stomachs and couldn't stop.

Hearing the lively gathering still taking place in the courtyard, Crocus, his face dark, pushed open the door without saying a word.

"Hahaha, Captain, which bowl do you want?"

"Hey, Jabba, give me the biggest one!"

"Hmm, the fish from this Sky Island tastes really good!"

"Come on, Jabba, let's continue!"

"Hahaha, okay, Captain. Uh..."

"Forehead..."

Seeing his companions frozen in place, Roger scratched his head and asked with a puzzled look:

"What's wrong with you guys? Keep drinking!"

After saying that, Roger saw Jabba blinking rapidly at him again. Still confused, Roger found it quite amusing to look at Jabba's rapid blinking.

"Hahaha, Jabba, what are you doing? Are your eyes dry? Or are you putting on some kind of show? This is hilarious, hahaha~"

Hearing his unreliable captain's mockery, Jabba stopped blinking and offering his reminder.

He thought it best to let Roger enjoy the torture from Crocus!

At this moment, Crocus, with a sullen face, silently walked behind Roger.

He patted Roger on the shoulder, gesturing for the oblivious pirate captain to look back.

However, at this time Roger

"Huh? Jabba, I think someone tapped me on the shoulder~"

"Hahaha, do you think this yard is some kind of haunted house, or a ghost from a sky island? Hehehe, apart from Lingling's place, I've never seen anything as interesting as ghosts~"

"Mmm, this barbecue is delicious, Jabba? Come on, you should have some too."

"Wow, this is delicious! Come on, have some more!"

Crocus, his face dark, looked at Roger, who had inexplicably started eating again, and patted him on the shoulder once more.

This time, I used really hard!

"Snapped!"

"Huh? Who is it?"

Roger turned his head, his mouth still stuffed with roasted meat, and his other hand holding a large bowl of wine, which he was about to bring to his lips.

However, he was stunned the next moment.

Roger stared in disbelief at Crocus before him, then suddenly turned quickly to his companions and said:

"Hahaha, I must have been lying in bed too long lately, I'm even hallucinating!"

"Do you know who I just saw? Crocus!"

"Isn't it amazing? He and Rayleigh were still shopping, how could they be back so quickly? Don't you think so?"

After saying that, Roger's hand trembled as he picked up the wine and prepared to bring it to his lips. Cold sweat broke out on his face, and he was extremely flustered.

"Yes, that's right, I must have seen it wrong!" Roger thought to himself.

However, things didn't turn out as he imagined. Kukalos suddenly put on a smiling face and slowly reached out from Roger's shoulder to take the wine bowl.

Then he threw the wine bowl aside and slowly walked up to Roger.

Looking at Roger, he smiled and said:

"Captain, have you eaten and drunk your fill? We should go get some medical treatment now."

Roger looked around at his companions, but they seemed to have completely ignored him. Some were inexplicably starting to train, while others suddenly lay down on the ground pretending to be asleep.

Roger felt a deep sadness. His crew, whom he had finally managed to find, didn't even know how to protect and uphold their captain. It was truly unacceptable!

Then, with a look of resignation to his fate on his face, he reluctantly stood up, ready to go back with Crocus for treatment.

Just then, Rayleigh, Suzuki, and the others who were outside the door also came in.

As if seeing a savior, Roger instantly transformed from a terminally ill man into someone who appeared instantly by a speed that Suzuki could not perceive.

Yes, he didn't go near Rayleigh, nor near Shanks and Bucky.

Instead, she came to Suzuki's side.

"Hahaha, is this young man here as a guest? Or does he want to join our pirate crew?"

"Come, come, I'm their captain. Let me tell you some fun stories from our past travels."

After saying that, Roger pulled Suzuki to go outside the yard, but Crocus coughed.

Roger turned around again, looking at Crocus with a pleading expression, hoping he wouldn't be so cruel.

Crocus looked helpless; this captain was too disobedient!

Even though he was already terminally ill, and even his medical skills could only barely prolong his life, he still acted without any restraint.

However, since Suzuki was here today, Crocus simply said something to Roger:

"I'll be there in a bit! Don't take too long!"

Roger nodded quickly, and then Crocus went back to his room to prepare medicines and medical tools.

Roger finally relaxed when he saw that his ship's doctor had finally left.

Only then did he take a serious look at Suzuki, and then exchange a glance with Rayleigh.

As if receiving some kind of signal, Roger immediately burst into laughter at Suzuki:

"Hahaha, what's your name, buddy?"

"To actually come here with our first mate, that's quite remarkable! Rayleigh has incredibly high standards!"

Suzuki looked at Roger, who was clearly on the verge of death but remained nonchalant and carefree, and felt a sense of admiration for him.

This future Pirate King is a rare hero on the high seas.

That line, "Want my treasure? Go find it if you want it," ushered in a great era of piracy!

Whether it's his fearlessness in the face of life and death or his yearning for the unknown, this pirate captain perfectly embodies the qualities of a hero.

So, with a slightly serious expression, he looked at the future pirate, Roger, and said earnestly:

"Hello, Captain Roger! My name is Suzuki, and I'm also from Qinghai."

"I happened to run into Mr. Raleigh on the island."

"So, I'm here to learn the secrets of domineering power from you!"

"I hope to receive your guidance, thank you!"

Upon hearing Suzuki's words, Roger understood why Rayleigh had brought him back.

The weak are usually very reserved in front of the strong, and they are even more terrified in front of the infamous strong.

Like Roger, Rayleigh also didn't believe that Suzuki hadn't heard of them.

But even so, the fact that he dared to muster the courage to come and ask for advice means that either this young man has some trump card up his sleeve and isn't afraid of them.

Either this boy is really brave.

Regardless of the choice, Roger believed Rayleigh would be interested, as he himself was somewhat interested.

Roger then looked at Suzuki and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, okay! I agree on their behalf!"

"However, we will only stay on the island for about five days, so how much you learn depends on yourself."

Suzuki nodded seriously, looking at the equally straightforward Pirate King and replying:

Thank you!

Roger smiled, didn't reply, but instead pulled Suzuki around to face his companions who were sizing him up, and raised his hand with a big laugh:

"Hahaha, another friend has come today! How can we not have a feast for such a joyous occasion? Jabba, call Oden out too! Quick, go get some more sake! And some grilled meat!"

"Come on, Suzuki, let's have a drink together."

The welcome party for Suzuki lasted until midnight, when Crocus couldn't stand it any longer and came out to stop Roger, at which point the party was called to an end.

Suzuki didn't stand out from the group; he joined the Roger Pirates in drinking, a rare occurrence for him, and almost got drunk.

The next day, Suzuki, Shanks, and Buggy followed Rayleigh to the edge of the island.
