Chapter 95: The Plan to Burn Mary Geoise, the So-called Weakness

South China Sea.

Batelira Island.

Roger held Luju's hand, the Pirate King who once could make clouds and rain with a wave of his hand.

No longer cutting through waves, searching for treasures under wind, frost and swords, but just like an ordinary husband, with a smile on his face, enjoying the tranquility at sunset.

"Lu Jiu, it would be nice if days like this could continue..." Roger half-knelt down and caressed his wife's belly lovingly:
"I really want to see Ace being born, but unfortunately, I have to complete my mission in two months..."

"Can I stay with you for another two months? It's such a wonderful experience." Lu Jiu stroked Roger's head, her voice calm and intellectual.

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

Facing the waves, the two of them snuggled up in the sunset, they were a happy couple.

And at this moment.

A burst of applause came slowly from not far away.

Luke, dressed in black casual clothes, looked at Roger and Lu Jiu with a smile: "What a touching scene, Roger."

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

According to 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 me again?"

"Your wife is next to you. I wonder if she can handle our duel of domineering colors..."

Roger's pupils shrank instantly.

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

When he was a pirate, although his crew members were his brothers, he didn't have to consider them when he was fighting...

Especially when facing a strong enemy, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the hands of God.

If I survive, I will find a chance to avenge my dead brothers!
Even if Roger didn't find Raftel, he would still be one of the three great sea overlords along with Golden Lion and Whitebeard. This title was not earned by laughing at the sea...

Instead, he killed them with one knife and one gun!
But after having the concept of wife and family, Roger realized it belatedly.

He is no longer the same as before...

There is a soft spot!

When Roger was fighting with Whitebeard with his domineering Haki, he could make the island tremble, without worrying about which kid would be knocked over by the gusts of wind, and he didn't care even if they killed them on the spot.

But can he treat Lu Jiu like this?
A beauty like a delicate flower, even if she just falls down, has the possibility of withering...

"What...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 fully cooperate with me."

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

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

Roger's whole body trembled, and his tiger eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent as he stared at Luke.

This isn't just about my wife and kids...

It also concerns Raftel and the future of this world!

"You...how did you know that! Who are you and what do you want to do!" Roger shouted in a deep voice, but in his serious tone, there was already a hint of panic that was difficult to conceal.

Luke looked at Roger quietly.

This is the so-called hero's twilight years...

A pirate overlord who pursues freedom has constraints and concerns in his last days when he is seriously ill.

How much of the former heroism and decisiveness is left?

"You really are 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 the Newgate 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 on behalf of Luke.

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

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

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

"Luke...you are the Luke that Newgate was talking about!" Roger had mixed feelings in his heart.

Luke nodded without comment. "Roger, I will use your life in exchange for military merit and power. In return for your nonresistance, I will arrange a file for your wife and children as naval family members, so that they can live safely in the Navy Headquarters from now on."

"Don't worry about the CP organization's spies. I'll have them kill a female pirate and replace her."

"As long as you listen to me, I will give you the opportunity to announce to the world that the great secret treasure really exists..."

Roger clenched and unclenched his fists several times.

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

Even if I attack Luke regardless of the consequences...

His Observation Haki told him that now that he was terminally ill, he might not be able to defeat the man in front of him.

The most terrifying thing is... Roger found that he no longer dared to gamble.

Lost his ferocity as a pirate!

If it were his old self, and he was threatened like this, Roger felt that he would seize the last glimmer of hope and do his best to kill Luke!
"How scary, Pirate King, he is really a monster..."

Luke sighed sincerely, "Even if you are seriously ill and have a soft spot, is there a lion in your eyes?"

Roger's face darkened.

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

"Come on board, Roger, and join me in turning the world upside down."

Luke raised his eyebrows and said, "Madam, please come along as well... I swear on the name of the Whitebeard Pirates that I will protect you."

Lu Jiu smiled helplessly and bowed gently to Luke: "Thank you for your help."

When Roger heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

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

Even though he didn’t understand...

How could there be a Luke in the pirate group for Whitebeard, who values ​​his family so much and has a generous personality?
Although he is a navy, his methods are no longer those of a pirate...

After arriving on the warship.

Luke picked up the Den Den Mushi and started shaking people.

"Rosinante? It's me. Please 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 her from 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, and set Marijoa on fire. Then I will come and catch you again!"

"Luju will stay on my ship. I'll ask Marco and Barrett to come and protect her. Nothing will go wrong."

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

"Lujiu, do you want to see what I look like?" Roger turned 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 would not be attracted to you..."

“I want to see it!”

Roger nodded in satisfaction, his eyes seemed to be burning with fire.

Before his death, the Pirate King was able to invade the Red Earth Continent of Marijoa. How heroic was that?
As for Luke.

Freeing the slaves is certainly a good thing, but what is more important is to make friends with Fishman Island in this chaos...

During this period, Fisher Tiger should have been arrested.

It is very important to let go during the fight and leave a good impression on the fishmen who possess the Sea King.

A few days later.

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

"Brother, you you you actually caught Roger!" Rossinanti widened his eyes in disbelief.

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

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

Especially the fact that Luke arrested Roger was 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. "Trading Roger for a Celestial Dragon, and then defrauding the World Government of subsidies? He's really capable!"

Behind Marco and Barrett, Lu Jiu smiled with relief.

She already knew...

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

These are all our own people.

It seems that Luke really didn't intend to make things difficult for his mother and son, and he wanted to let Roger go crazy before he died...

This Luke is truly a mysterious man.

Not only myself, even Roger doesn't know what he wants to do, right?

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

"Although I'm a pirate, they all call me Captain. I'm one of their own..." Luke patted Rosinante's head and said, "Your most urgent task now is to become proficient at speaking well. Roger has memorized it a long time ago."

"I took you to the South China Sea to practice with pirates. We accidentally ran into Roger who was sailing with his wife and daughter. After a fierce battle, I subdued Roger. You also attacked Roger when he was ill, which gave me an opportunity."

"His wife and daughter all sank to the bottom of the sea, and their bodies were never found."

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

Luke sighed, "This bastard has affairs with many women... The World Government will definitely be worried about the bloodline of the Pirate King being passed down."

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

Rossinandi sighed, "The World Government will indeed do this... The purpose of capturing the Pirate King is to protect more people from harm, but it ends up hurting more people."

Roger was behind Rosinante, blinking fiercely at Luke.

That’s right bro!

That's it!

If Roger hadn't been restrained from head to toe by the heavy seastone shackles, he would have wanted to jump up and give Luke a thumbs up...

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

This seastone shackle seemed indestructible and extremely heavy, but in fact the inside had been badly damaged and was covered with spider-web-like cracks.

Roger, who has the ability to listen to the sounds of all things, can even hear the groans of the seastone shackles...

I really don't know how Luke did it.

Obviously, the technology for processing seastone should only be found in Wano Country, right?
What Roger didn't know was that when it came to processing seastone, Luke was an eighth-level skilled craftsman...

Nothing but familiar hands and ears.

Whoever flattens the eight seastone mines will be able to handle them with ease.

"Aren't you going to tell General Zhan Guo about this?" Rossinandi asked softly.

"What are you talking about? After all, this is a matter of bullying. If one less person knows about it, once it is exposed, there will be one less backbone of the navy to be implicated when accountability is sought."

Luke glanced at Rosinante: "Why, you don't believe me or you're scared?"

Rosinante 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've grown up! I can do something!"

"I am no longer a child who can only be protected by others..."

in fact.

Rossinandi still has many questions to ask...

For example, how did Luke catch Roger? But since Luke didn't tell her, Rosinante wouldn't ask...

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

Isn't that the same as the Warring States period, where there is still the idea of ​​compromise and alliance...

Instead, it was like a wild beast that was choosing its prey. It was just lurking slowly, temporarily retracting its claws and fangs, waiting for the opponent to relax before attacking and taking his life!
Rosinante, who had stayed with Luke for a long time, was naturally assimilated by Luke.

Or maybe Luke deliberately influenced him to be like this...

Time passes slowly.

The two warships sailed on the sea one after the other and arrived at Marijoa.

"This is my first time here, it's really majestic!" Roger laughed arrogantly, "It's really a good place to burn to ashes!"

Rossinandi glanced at Roger and said nothing.

Because he felt the same way...

The more he knew what the Celestial Dragons had done, the more the sensible Rosinante felt that his body was covered in the blood of sin.

"Hello, is this the Five Elders?" Luke answered calls from a few old guys.

"Who are you and why do you have our number?" a male voice that seemed to be very superior asked in a deep voice.

"I'm Vice Admiral Luke. I captured Roger with Rosinante and have now escorted the prisoner to Marijoa." Luke said lazily, "Send someone to pick me up."

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