The second half of the Grand Line.
On an island with cherry blossoms.
The breeze blew, and a waterfall flew straight down, splashing moist water to form ripples.
Under a few cherry trees, two tall men sat.
Wearing a pirate hat, golden hair, and two crescent-shaped beards that curved upward were still so eye-catching. At this moment, White Beard held a bowl of wine, took a sip of liquor, and looked at the man in front of him with some astonishment.
"You said you are going to die?"
"Well, there are not many days left."
Grinning, the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, who was originally in the South Sea, suddenly appeared here.
And he also found White Beard Edward Newgate.
"Why can't I see that you are going to die?"
White Beard put down the bowl and glanced up and down at Roger, frowning slightly.
"I am sick."
Roger didn't worry about dying at all. Instead, he was particularly free and easy.
"Sick? Can't Curocas do anything? "
White Beard's face was a little heavy, and he didn't feel so refreshing when he picked up the liquor.
Shaking his head, Roger smiled and didn't speak.
"Do you want Marco to take a look at you?"
"Are you the kid on the ship? The ability of the Immortal Bird can cure diseases? " Roger was slightly surprised, and the little guy who was covered in blue flames and was not afraid to challenge him appeared in his mind.
"Kurala ~"
"My children are very strong."
White Beard was a little proud.
Because of the richest group, his children have suffered a lot.
Especially now that the era of cultivation has begun, they all feel the pressure.
One by one, they are no longer as lazy as before and began to cultivate seriously.
"It may be their time in the future."
Roger picked up the bowl and touched it with White Beard, then took a sip and said, "He can't cure my illness."
"Is that so?"
White Beard didn't question Roger because there was no need to.
"By the way, where have you been this year, there is no news of you on the sea."
"Newgate, I have a woman I like very much. Her name is Portkas D. Lucius, and I am going to be a father."
"Portkas D. Lujiu, are you going to be a father?"
Whitebeard was stunned. He looked at Roger with a glass of wine in his hand. He couldn't believe it.
He couldn't even react in time.
"Hahaha … that's right."
Holding the wine bowl, Roger motioned for White Beard to touch it.
"Congratulations."
"Of course."
The two of them finished the liquor in the bowl again, and Roger personally filled White Beard's bowl.
"Do they know about your illness?"
"I know." Looking at the wine bowl, Roger's face showed longing and guilt.
"There are so many Devil Fruits in this sea, there must be a way."
"It's too late. I have my reasons."
Roger shook his head, his eyes firm.
"A few months ago, Balorik seemed to have been caught."
White Beard wasn't in a good mood either. Perhaps it was because this fellow who was both friend and foe was about to die.
"I know."
"If you leave, there won't be many people in this world who can drink with me."
"Isn't there Shiki, Garp, Zhan Guo, and Zefa? If you're bored, you can go to Marin Van. "
"Forget it, only Shiki is okay. As for the guys in the Navy …"
White Beard shook his head and clinked his bowl with Roger's.
"Newgate, do you want me to tell you how to get to Raftel?"
"Not interested. I won't go even if I know."
Waving his hand, White Beard gulped down the liquor. He wasn't very interested.
"I forgot that you only care about your family."
Roger paused for a moment and didn't force him.
"Kurala ~"
Whitebeard smiled and didn't speak, but it was a tacit agreement.
Everyone's dream was different.
He didn't care about power, wealth, fame, or women. There was only one dream.
And that was home!
"Do you know what the world government called me in recent years? Gordo Roger, isn't it funny? "
"Hmm? Is that your real name? "
White Beard put down his bowl and looked at Roger in shock.
"No, no." Roger slapped his thigh and grinned. "I'm Gordo D. Roger."
Roger read it word by word.
"Indeed, sometimes I meet people with a D in their name. I also have a guy called Teach at my place. By the way, what does D mean? "
"Do you want to know?"
"Forget it, I'm not interested."
"You …" Roger was speechless when he saw White Beard didn't take the bait.
"That was a long time ago …"
Roger kept talking to himself. White Beard drank his liquor and frowned from time to time. From time to time, he was surprised. His whole face was changing.
Just like that, the two drank and talked. Before they knew it, the sun was setting.
"That's it for today."
Roger stood up and grinned.
"Oh!"
White Beard didn't get up. He was still sitting on the ground, but his expression was complicated.
"Newgate, this time I'm going to start an era too."
Roger turned around and walked two steps. He stopped and turned to look at White Beard who was thinking. "Do you think the next era will be yours or that man's?"
"Will he be the one I'm waiting for?"
"Kurala …"
"That man started the era of cultivation. Now you're going to start an era too. Regardless of whether the next era will be mine or his, I know he's definitely not the one you're waiting for."
"That guy is from the same era as us. Moreover, his influence now is greater than yours!"
"The era you're going to start, whether it's influence or anything else, can't be compared to the era of cultivation he started. I'm a little impressed by that flamboyant guy."
"Whether it's before or in the future, his name will be engraved in history!"
White Beard looked at Roger strangely.
"Haha, I forgot."
Roger patted his head and waved his hand casually. He was about to leave, but he stopped after two steps and looked at White Beard with extreme helplessness and melancholy. "You know what? I hate that guy. Why didn't I think of spreading the Rokushiki and Haki? The era of cultivation that he's starting now is more effective than the era I'm about to start! "
"The most annoying thing is that he stole my limelight, but now I have to take the blame for him. I feel like that guy is scheming against me. If only I still had time."
"Haha!"
Helplessness, complaints, and annoyance. These were the feelings that White Beard felt from Roger.
Until, accompanied by laughter, the figure gradually disappeared.
Marin Van Doe was still so majestic and solemn. Rows of warships were either leaving or docking at the mouth of the coast. Nothing had changed.
Five days had passed since the beginning of the era of cultivation.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly. An uninvited guest appeared in the square of the headquarters building.
This was a man with a distinctive beard. He looked a little rough. Although he was just standing there, one could still feel his domineering and fearless aura. It was just that his face was a little too pale.
"It's really spectacular!"
Looking up at the headquarters building, the man walked in as if there was no one around. The key point was that some of the Navy passing by acted as if they didn't see him. It was really strange.
The top few floors of the headquarters building were all the offices of the Navy's important generals. For example, Marshal Kong's office. Generals and Vice Admirals also had their offices on these floors.
Navy General Zhan Guo's office. At this time, Zhan Guo was buried in documents. At his feet, there was a sheep with a bell around its neck. It was eating the unwanted documents like grass.
On the sofa below, Garp tore open a bag of donuts and ate with relish. However, the noise was too loud.
"Garp."
Finally, Zhan Guo couldn't stand it anymore. He raised his head and glared at Garp. He gritted his teeth and said, "Go back to your office and eat. Don't disturb me here."
"Unless you approve my vacation, don't even think about it."
With his legs crossed on the tea set, Garp squinted and ate even louder.
"Bastard, you should talk to Marshal Kong about this kind of thing."
Zhan Guo slammed the table angrily. He looked at Garp and said word by word, "I bought these donuts and scallops. You should pay for them."
"I just came back from Marshal Kong's place. He asked me to look for you."
Garp automatically ignored the second half of Zhan Guo's words. It was a matter of course.
"It's really lively here."
Just when Zhan Guo and Garp were arguing, a figure stood at the door and looked at them with a smile.
Hearing the voice, Zhan Guo was shocked when he saw the person. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Even Garp was stunned at this moment. He didn't even notice that the donut in his mouth fell on his lap.
