One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

(We don’t know what Raftel has, so jump…)

A month later, the Oro-Jackson reappeared in these rough seas.

This time, Buggy did not suddenly fall ill, and the two little ones witnessed the miracle of Raftel with their own eyes.

This time, Shiki did not fight Roger to the death. Roger, Shiki, and the candidate for admiral, Xuanming Carson, together with all the members of Roger's pirate group, boarded Raftel together and witnessed the final island with their own eyes.

Along the way, even though they had learned the final location of Raftelu through the historical texts on four signposts, the extreme climate and surging waves still caused great trouble to everyone.

Fortunately, most of these troubles were solved by Ski and Carsente, so Roger's health was not further deteriorated.

Otherwise, if there were only the Roger Pirates, they would probably be buried in the sea and become an eternal legend.

"Hahahaha, Roger, the Final Island is such an interesting place. Secrets, so what? Only the strength that has been tempered a thousand times will not betray you!"

Shi Ji stood at the bow, his golden hair flying in the sea breeze, and laughed out loud.

“It’s tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw it away. I don’t know if such an answer is qualified to put a perfect end to your journey!”

Carson felt a little emotional. With a God's perspective, he knew best how much Roger had paid for such a goal.

At the very beginning, Roger's goal was to "conquer the entire ocean", but at some point, "conquering the entire ocean" became "finding the truth of everything".

Perhaps it was in the Valley of Gods that Roger learned something, or perhaps Roger heard fragments of certain content by listening to the sounds of all things.

But no matter what, when a journey has a goal, it is destined to be full of regrets.

If one cannot achieve one's goal in one's entire life, the soul will naturally be filled with an endless sense of vicissitudes and insignificance, forming a tragic sentiment of "thinking of the vastness of the universe, and shedding tears alone".

But if you are like Roger, you can achieve your goal during the journey. But when the goal is determined as the end of the journey, the journey will inevitably come to an end when you reach the end.

After achieving the ultimate goal, the burden on my shoulders is suddenly lifted, and I can't help feeling empty or even confused, not knowing what to do in the second half of my life.

When a journey reaches its end, it will naturally lead to separation, regret and imperfection.

What's more, Roger sacrificed so much for this journey, even his own life.

This is about the outlook on life and values. Carson has no intention of commenting. If Roger thinks everything is worth it, then it is worth it.

The contents of Raftel may have been expected too much, and all of this has infinitely elevated the value of Raftel.

But when I saw it with my own eyes, I realized there was quite a gap between ideal and reality, and it seemed as if Raftel was no more than that.

A secret, a truth, or a joke, a prank, who can tell?

"In any case, this journey has been a complete success and it is worth the trip."

Roger came over to the two of them, his voice full of openness.

In the past, Roger always had a goal, a belief in front of him, and his heart and eyes were full of the desire to go to Raftel.

But when this goal was actually achieved, Roger began to truly face death, and this body would die in just a few years.

When the goal is achieved, the boundary between life and death becomes blurred, and Roger will suddenly feel close to death.

Roger knew that there might be a way to heal his body in this ocean, but Roger was tired and didn't want to look for it anymore. He even felt that it was fine as it was.

Not to mention whether it can be found or not, and what price it will cost. Even if the body is really cured, what good will it do to live a few decades longer?

The companions who went to sea with Roger either died or disappeared, and Buggy and Shanks' generation will eventually take their own paths and leave Roger's pirate group.

Does Roger have to start all over again, find a new group of companions, and set out on the journey again? But for Roger, who already knows the truth, what is his goal and what is he pursuing when he sets foot on the sea again?

"You and I know what's going on here. It's enough for us to know it, but it's better not to spread it!"

Roger chuckled and spoke.

"Hahahaha, Roger, you are so naive! Even if all this is exposed, what will happen? You have seen everything here, and you are going to die anyway."

Shiqi felt that this damn place was like the catalog of the world government, recording everything but not explaining anything clearly. There was only a title and the content was unknown.

"Roger, don't try to deceive people with those specious words, and don't try to mobilize the greed of the people on your own."

"Human hearts are always uncontrollable, and the consequences will definitely not be what you wish!"

"What's more, Roger, Raftel will only exist in your memory. No one on the sea will know that there is a pirate named Roger who has been here!"

Carsen didn't know why Roger behaved like a martyr, but the only thing he knew was that Roger's ideal was not realized, and the cheering that was like a dying will was ultimately defeated by human hearts.

In terms of heart, he used words, relying on his own reputation and influence, to arouse the greed in people's hearts and stir up the entire ocean.

In that great pirate era, what motivated so many people to set foot on the sea and raise the pirate flag?

It is definitely not an ideal, a mission, or a "manly pursuit", but naked desire.

"Pirate King Roger has all the wealth, power, and honor in the world, and Roger puts everything he has there!"

This is the fundamental reason for the riot in the sea. It is the desire to become the next Pirate King, even at the risk of death.

But soon, the passion cooled down, and the impetuousness of the people gradually subsided, but those pirates who had hung the pirate flag and were wanted by the navy had no way out. So, they vented their desires crazily, slaughtered crazily, robbed, and vented their desires.

Logically speaking, without the improvement of productivity and production relations, simple unrest will never give birth to a more advanced political power, and without a more advanced political power, the people's living standards will never be improved.

To put it bluntly, chaos will inevitably destroy a generation. Twenty years of turmoil will be used to exchange for fifty years of temporary political clarity. Seventy years later, everything will return to the way it was before. Roger is not qualified to make choices for those who will be sacrificed.
