One Piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

But he was completely helpless.

“I recently learned from Shaki that Rocks seems to be looking for something called the Heavenly King, and he’s already made progress.”

Rayleigh looked at Roger and said seriously.

Upon hearing the words "King of the World," Roger's expression instantly turned serious.

Looking at his good brother Rayleigh.

"You'll help me, right?"

Roger looked at Rayleigh and suddenly said.

"Forehead?"

Rayleigh was suddenly taken aback by Roger's seemingly nonsensical remark, but he quickly nodded.

Roger laughed heartily when he saw Rayleigh nod without hesitation.

"Hahahaha! That works, but I'm waiting. I'm waiting for Rocks to make a mistake so I can deliver the fatal blow."

Roger put his arm around Rayleigh's shoulder and said firmly.

Even Rayleigh had rarely seen such determination in his eyes.

Rayleigh smiled slightly when he saw Roger's expression.

"I will always be with you."

Rayleigh also stated firmly.

The two looked at each other, and then smiled at each other.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The laughter attracted all the crew members.

The crew members were all looking at the captain and first mate, not understanding what was happening.

Roger and Ridley laughed for a while.

Roger stopped laughing.

"The Rocks Pirates are a disorganized mess. Everyone in them is just a group that came together to achieve their own goals. As long as Rocks is killed, everything will be fine."

Roger looked at Rayleigh and clenched his fist.

"Oh? Aren't you worried about Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin, and that Blood Swordsman Charlotte?"

Rayleigh looked at Roger and asked.

"These four are currently the four strongest members of the Rocks Pirates. Each of them is probably no weaker than us."

Rayleigh said solemnly.

"Hahahaha! No! I'm not worried at all. We've met Whitebeard. He has made it very clear that he wants to leave the Rocks Pirates, but he is torn by his sense of righteousness. Although he doesn't agree with our plan to kill Rocks, he won't stop us."

As for the Golden Lion, we've met him before. He's an extremely ambitious man, definitely not the kind of person who can remain subservient to others for long. If we're going to deal with Rocks, Rocks should be grateful if he doesn't get stabbed in the back.

As for Charlotte Linlin, although we've never met her, we've heard she's passionate about having children and wants to establish a world of children, so she certainly won't stop us.

Of the four, only Rockefeller Charlotte remained.

Although we've never met this man, I've heard that he was forced into joining by Rocks. I believe he would absolutely support killing Rocks, and even if he doesn't act, he can remain neutral.

Roger shared his analysis.

Rayleigh watched Roger's confident demeanor with a smile.

"Then we're left with Wang Zhi, John Silver Axe, and the most mysterious Seventh Division Captain, Kurozumi Musashi."

Wang Zhi John Silver Axe is definitely one of Rocks' confidants. He has followed Rocks ever since Rocks set sail, but he is getting old and can no longer exert his full strength. You can leave these people to them.

As for the Kurozumi and Higurashi siblings, I heard that Rocks gave them a squad position because he needed them to find something. They are very weak and can't pose any threat to us.

Therefore, we have only ever had one enemy: Rocks. If we kill Rocks, his forces will crumble.

Roger looked at Ridley and said.

The confidence in his tone earned him everyone's admiration.

The Rocks Pirates, whom others considered a worthy opponent of the Marine Headquarters, were analyzed by Roger as utterly worthless.

This kind of spirit is unmatched by ordinary people.

"Then when will we do it?"

Rayleigh said excitedly.

But Roger shook his head!

"It's not the right time yet. What we need to do now is wait! When Rocks shows his weakness, that's when we'll kill him!"

Roger said domineeringly, one hand resting on the side of the boat.

Upon hearing this, Rayleigh believed Roger's decision.

"Wait! When the lion shows signs of fatigue, that will be the time for the wolves to surround it."

Roger looked at the boundless sea and said.

……

Charlotte was speechless as she watched the artillery barrage on the sea.

This was the fourth time he had been shelled.

It was all artillery fire from pirates.

How come there are more pirates in the Grand Line than in the New World?

Charlotte sailed all the way to Fishman Island in the New World without encountering a single pirate.

But after leaving Water 7, you'll encounter a group of pirates every two or three days.

Moreover, these pirates have absolutely no fear; whenever they encounter them, they immediately launch cannon fire.

Without even a greeting, how can they be so lacking in martial ethics?

Looking at the dozen or so shells.

Paul and Isaac charged forward together, slashing with their knives.

That prevented the shells from landing on the ship.

They only have this one ship, and it can't be damaged, otherwise it will be stuck at sea.

Especially in this place that's far from any village or shop.

If you're stranded on a desert island, all you can do is pray for a ship to come to you.

Charlotte walked to the side of the ship and looked at the other pirate ship.

Looking at the cannons firing incessantly on the ship, and then at Paul and Isaac, who were panting heavily, he saw...

Charlotte knew that they were also nearing their limit.

The opposing pirates were very cunning; they kept firing cannons but didn't get close.

Each time one's ship advances, the other ship retreats.

They just hung there far away, taking advantage of the fact that they didn't have cannons.

"Should I prepare a few cannons?"

Charlotte murmured, stroking her chin.

Paul, who was standing next to him, looked at his boss speechlessly after hearing this.

Why does my boss seem so silly?

No, no! How could our boss be stupid? He's a great swordsman!

Paul quickly shook off the thoughts in his mind and focused on dealing with the incoming shells.

"It's time to end this farce!"

Charlotte stretched her wrists and said calmly.

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Isaac and Paul, who were standing nearby, both brightened up.

Will we get to see the great swordsman's slash again?

Under the expectant gazes of Isaac and Paul.

Charlotte's eyes sharpened instantly.

An aura erupted from his body.

This made Isaac and Paul, who were standing next to Charlotte, feel a little breathless.

This sense of oppression made both of them stare at Charlotte with fervor.

Great swordsman!

This is the aura of a great swordsman.
