The Last Roger Pirates

Chapter 50 The Last Roger Pirates

Today is a day of farewell.

The Orr-Jackson is about to leave the Sky Island.

At this moment, Suzuki was enjoying his last feast with the crew of the Roger Pirates.

"Hahaha, come on, drink! Suzuki kid, I'm going to beat you to a pulp today!"

Spark Jabba, the ship's main fighter, tries to get Suzuki drunk.

"Hey, stop bullying kids! That's not the way of a warrior! Come and drink with me if you dare!"

Kozuki Oden, a samurai from Wano Country borrowed from the Whitebeard Pirates, is adhering to his own code of samurai.

"Hehehehe, I, Lord Buggy, have found another treasure map! Shanks! I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"

Bucky, already drunk, suddenly decided to beat Shanks up for no apparent reason.

"Haha, Captain, I wish I could be like you! Ouch, Bucky, what are you doing?!"

Shanks was suddenly punched by Bucky, and his face was full of confusion.

"If you ever have the chance to go to Drum Island again and see that old woman, remember to give her a piece of my mind!"

The ship's doctor, Crocus, was instigating Suzuki.

"Haha, Suzuki's talent is quite good. He should work hard in the future. Mastering powerful training requires long-term dedication to achieve growth!"

First mate Sirbazz-Railley, drinking his wine, began his final lecture.

"Hahaha, the scenery on the Sky Island is really nice! And this grilled meat is so delicious!"

This is Gol D. Roger, the captain of a pirate crew, admiring the beautiful scenery and enjoying the delicious food.

"Really? Captain? I want to try some too!"

"Oh? Me too! Me too!"

"Me too, give me one!"

"Mmm, that's all, that's all."

"."

Suzuki watched as Roger pretended to stuff all the grilled meat into his mouth, but then easily had it taken away by the others.

Somewhat emotionally, this was probably the last time he would see the Roger Pirates.

The banquet lasted a long time, finally ending as dusk approached.

Afterwards, the group arrived at the island's pier. At the moment of parting, Suzuki suddenly called out to Rayleigh.

"Mr. Raleigh!"

Then, seeing Rayleigh's puzzled expression, Suzuki ran to his side, took out some shellfish unique to the Sky Island from his pocket, and pleaded, "Mr. Rayleigh, could you please fill these up for me?"

Rayleigh's face was full of speechlessness, but he didn't say anything. He took the shellfish that Suzuki handed him and easily filled it up.

Then, the renowned first mate said to Suzuki, "These things are interesting, but they can't withstand much power. The power I poured in barely reached their limit. They're enough to keep you alive, but don't rely on them too much in the future."

Suzuki nodded gratefully…

After this little incident, he said his final goodbye to the Roger Pirates.

As I watched the Orr-Jackson gradually disappear into the distance, a myriad of thoughts flooded my mind.

He has been here for almost five days.

In the past few days, apart from sleeping and eating, he has been sticking to Rayleigh's training.

In a short period of time, he did not awaken Armament Haki, nor did he suddenly unleash Conqueror's Haki.

However, he has already awakened Observation Haki!

Like Rayleigh, he was indeed very talented at Observation Haki.

Perhaps it was because of his consistent caution and keenness, or perhaps it was because he possessed chakra that allowed him to sense things.

On the second day of training, Suzuki successfully awakened Observation Haki.

Rayleigh was also surprised at the time, even though he had seen many geniuses, and quite a few of them were born with Observation Haki.

However, I feel quite satisfied with his training progress.

After a long while, looking at the Roger Pirates who were no longer visible, Suzuki also put aside his thoughts.

He turned and headed towards the Wiba store on the island, preparing to head to Bika as well.

……

the other side.

Cloud-like waves lapped against the deck of the boat.

Under the cover of night, Roger and Rayleigh sat down at the edge of the ship's deck.

"Why are you teaching that boy so diligently, Rayleigh?"

Roger looked at his first mate and asked.

At this moment, Rayleigh looked at Roger with a puzzled expression and asked:

"Didn't you ask me to teach him? In front of so many of our companions."

Hearing Rayleigh shift the blame, Roger had no choice but to ask again:

"I mean, why did you bring him back in the first place!"

Rayleigh looked at his captain and suddenly laughed:

"Because I think you'll be very interested, and you also think he's very interesting, like a mystery."

"Besides, aren't you aiming for great things? This kind of interesting young person might bring about more change~"

Upon hearing Rayleigh's words, Roger smiled and then looked seriously at his first mate:

"Thank you, Rayleigh!"

"You've worked so hard all these years."

Rayleigh looked at his captain with a helpless expression:

"Nonsense! You're incredibly lazy, and you always like to do the most absurd things."

"I'm exhausted! I have to clean up your messes every day and give you advice."

"We still need to."

He watched as his first mate, whom he had finally managed to trick onto the ship and who was also the best captain on the high seas, complained in front of him.

After listening quietly to Rayleigh's rambling, Roger's face also showed a relaxed expression:

"Ah! So, thank you, Rayleigh!"

"You are the only and best first mate I've ever met!"

"From now on, you'll probably be able to relax a bit more."

"Because, well, I'm about to die, hahaha."

Hearing Roger's carefree laughter, Rayleigh's forehead veins bulged, and he roared at his captain:

"Stop bringing up that kind of thing all the time, you idiot captain!"

Roger, unusually, ignored Rayleigh's words and continued to laugh heartily.

Rayleigh was also helpless and asked Roger:

"So, you've made up your mind? To disband the pirate crew."

Roger looked at his first mate and nodded seriously:

"Ah, it's decided."

"As for what comes next, there's too much to do, and I don't care since I'm about to die anyway, so it's best not to involve you all."

Although Rayleigh was extremely reluctant, he could only look at Roger with a wry smile:

"What if we don't find Laugh Tale? What then?"

Roger suddenly stood up, adjusted his straw hat, and laughed heartily, his face radiating confidence.

"Hahaha, no way, Rayleigh!"

"We will definitely find Laugh Tale!"

"If it exists, then we will surely reach it!"

"Even if it doesn't exist now, I'll make sure it exists from this day forward!"

Hearing the captain's boastful words, Rayleigh still smiled wryly and said:

"You're a real headache."

Roger laughed heartily and patted Rayleigh on the shoulder:

"The final moment is almost here! Aren't you excited? Haha~"

"By the way, once we leave Skypiea and reach the West Blue, let Shanks and Buggy disembark; they're still too young."

As he spoke, Roger touched the straw hat on his head and continued with a smile:

"When the time comes, let's leave this hat to Shanks too."

After listening, Rayleigh looked at his captain with a complicated expression:

"Is it Shanks? That's fine. But, Buggy won't be happy about this, will he?"

Roger responded with a smile:

"Shanks is always learning from me, but Bucky has his own path to follow!"

Just as Rayleigh was about to say something, Bucky's shouts came from not far away:

"Captain! Dr. Crocus wants you to come over right away!"

Hearing Bucky's shout, Roger lowered his head slightly, pressed down on his straw hat, a smile in his eyes, and then looked at Rayleigh and laughed:

"This long journey is finally coming to an end~"

"The unknown has always been my aspiration, but because of your companionship, I have fulfilled one dream after another!"

"You are the most beautiful scenery I've encountered on this journey!"

"Should I say I have no regrets in this life? Hahaha~"

Roger laughed loudly, then suddenly hugged his first mate and whispered gently in his ear:

"So, from now on, please see this world for me."

"Live well, Rayleigh!"

After saying that, Roger turned and walked towards Bucky's direction...

"Hey, Buggy, is Crocus very angry?"

"Of course, Captain! But with me, Bucky, here, I'll protect you!"

"Hahaha, really? Well then, thank you, Bucky, you're so kind!"

"Hehe, that's a must..."

Behind him, Rayleigh, the legendary figure who would one day work silently as a coating craftsman in Sabaody for twenty years, covered his face with his hands, tears streaming down his cheeks…
