Chapter 209: Garp: Do you think I can't recognize you just because your voice changes? I'm older!
"Young man, you are not in good shape."

()
Garp looked at Roger who was wearing a mask beside him and said, "You won't live a happy life like this, kid."

This made Roger's face freeze: "Does it have anything to do with you, old man?"

Garp's face straightened: "Ace calls me grandpa, and he calls you dad. Do you think it has anything to do with me?"

(◣д◢)

It would have been fine if this hadn't been mentioned, but as soon as it was mentioned Roger immediately exploded.

He raised his hand and punched Garp in the face.

"boom!"

The armament colors collided, the fists and the faces collided, and as a result, Roger's forearm was directly shattered into pieces.

"Your domineering aura is good, but your body is too fragile. The effect of your immortality is not that great..."

As he said this, Cap stood up with a laugh, holding the newspaper in one hand and reaching directly towards Roger with the other hand.

The observation Haki was avoided and a punch came again.

"Oh!"

Garp raised his elbow to block it, and tried to grab it but it was pulled back.

A punch hit him directly in the abdomen.

"boom."

A big hole appeared and the ashes recovered quickly, but Roger looked grim.

The old fellow had not used much strength before, but after knowing that he was immortal, every blow was like a cannon.

"Your Observation Haki is not even as good as mine. Your Armament Haki should be limited by your body, right?"

As he said this, Garp kicked his feet and approached quickly.

"Old bastard!"

After cursing angrily, Roger concentrated his attention with his observation Haki.

After dodging a punch, he raised his knee suddenly, but was blocked by the armed color domineering on Garp's abdomen, and then a huge slap came over.

"Boom."

His arms shattered and turned to ashes, and Roger stared at Garp.

The opponent's attacks were all on the face. Was this to take off his mask? How long had the old man been so curious?

We have been living in peace these past few years. Is it because of our identity as a revolutionary army?

Before Roger could think about it, Garp attacked again.

An hour later, a huge circular pit appeared on the mountain with the two people at the center.

"I'm a little tired."

Garp flexed his arms: "You really can recover infinitely! No wonder Kaido can fight against BiGMOM. Even if he can't win, he can still disgust his opponent."

Roger curled his lips.

Tired? How could it be?

When he was chasing me, this old guy would not seem to get tired even if he fought for seven days and seven nights.

"So what exactly do you want to do? You haven't even finished reading the newspaper yet, so as a naval hero, you want to arrest me, a revolutionary?"

After he finished speaking, Karp put down his right hand, which had been swinging his fist, and it was obvious that he had no intention of continuing.

"Do you think I won't recognize you if you change your voice? In this world, not even Lu Jiu is as familiar to me as you are, you bastard!"

(#Д)
Roger was stunned, but did not refute.

He knew that Karp had discovered his existence a few years ago, but he had never met him because he knew the old man as well as he knew himself.

As soon as we met, my identity was discovered.

"This is not a reason for you to raise my seniority!"

Roger complained, then jumped out of the deep pit and sensed the two little ghosts with his observation Haki.

Following closely behind, Garp also jumped out and looked at Roger with unstoppable curiosity.

"So how did you survive?"

Roger looked at him, and his voice didn't change this time: "You can already guess my identity, but now you suddenly have Alzheimer's disease?"

"Oh!"

He threw a punch, smashing Roger's shoulder directly.

“Hahaha! This feels really good. I wanted to smash your head in my dreams!”

Garp looked at him and said, "I have been chasing you for so many years and we have fought each other so many times that I can't count them all. You think you can fool me just because your voice becomes hoarse? And during the fight just now, your shadow was everywhere."

Hearing this, Roger looked at his recovered shoulder and said, "Given your personality, you probably won't report anything to the World Government. But... there are limits on the soul being able to return to this world again."

The two of them sat directly on the ground.

At this time, there was some movement in the jungle not far away.

Garp looked over and said, "Dadan, if you don't want to hear anything and lose your life, you'd better leave here as soon as possible."

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in the jungle, and then it became quiet.

Roger said, "The Revolutionary Army is different from the World Government. And this bandit... is quite cute."

cute?

Garp couldn't really associate Dadan's face with cuteness. He looked strange for a while before asking, "The ability to revive the dead... is incredible, Roger."

So, you are not afraid of being found out by Marijoa?

Roger pointed to the newspaper in Garp's hand and said, "You were on vacation some time ago, so you probably don't know a lot of things. After the battle in Punk Hazard, the Revolutionary Army can be said to be the number one enemy of the World Government."

"You don't have to worry about too much debt. In this case, sir, it shouldn't matter. Besides...even if you are worried about that bandit leaking the secret, there should be another way to deal with it."

Another way to handle it?
And Punk Hazard?
Karp's face was solemn. A lot of things happened during his vacation.

No wonder Zhan Guo insisted on going back immediately, it seemed that he was under too much pressure.

After thinking for a while, Garp asked in confusion: "With your will, why would you join the Revolutionary Army? As the freest man in this sea, would you be willing to be restricted?"

Roger was silent for a moment.

"Originally it was just because I was too bored, but then... I thought that the future that Mr. dreamed of might be what the world should be like."

Garp: "Sir? Cloaked Man? Or Drago?"

Roger shook his head slightly. "Although your son founded the Revolutionary Army with you and has always managed it in an orderly manner, you are the real soul of the Revolutionary Army."

So this gentleman must be the cloaked man who has been active all the time. Roger did not deny it, and he had already confirmed the answer.

As for the Cloaked Man, Garp also knew some intelligence, and the Naval Analysis Office had interpreted his abilities and background in detail more than once.

But it is precisely because I know that I am surprised.

The child who was born in the Valley of God is only twenty-four years old now.

"You're really calm about it. I'm a marine, you bastard."

Garp cursed, then asked, "So I resurrected you but didn't ask you to do anything? I discovered you were in Windmill Village a few years ago, but the Revolutionary Army was so careless? You know, with your identity, there are so many things you can do."

Roger looked at him: "The Revolutionary Army's attitude towards pirates is not much better than that towards the World Government. Do you think they will use my identity to gather all the pirates?"

Roger paused at this point and said, "It's not impossible. When the final day comes, we can gather the pirates and destroy them all, making pirates a thing of the past. This seems like something that you can do, sir."

This made Karp's heart tighten.

How much strength would be needed to wipe out all the pirates?

And that day... the day that turns the world upside down?
and many more!

Garp stared at his old rival with wide eyes: "Are you trying to win me over, bastard?"

Roger smiled and said, "You are not even surprised by the resurrection of the dead. You figured out my identity just by the voice and the way I fight. You old man and I have the same hidden name. Can you still stand with the World Government?"

Anonymous…D.

Garp pursed his lips and said, "I don't know what that D means, and I don't want to know. I'll keep your business a secret, but don't even think about joining me."

Garp was about to get up and go find his two grandchildren, and by the way, let Ace call him grandpa a few more times to disgust this bastard.

But Roger's voice made him stop.

"You know what? The red earth continent cuts off the ocean. The formation of the doldrums makes communication between different parts of the world difficult, and thoughts are also hindered."

"The wisdom or ignorance of life makes it easier for the rulers to be dictatorial. The so-called descendants of God are nothing more than the declaration of the victor. But this war that has spanned eight hundred years has never stopped."

Garp stopped and turned to look at Roger with a serious expression: "Did you know this... on the so-called final island of Raftel?"

Roger smiled and did not answer the question, but continued: "The Calm Belt isolates the Great Route, and the Red Earth Continent divides this route with chaotic magnetic fields into two. Eight hundred years have passed, and many things are about to begin to appear again."

At this point, Roger paused and said, "You know what? Eight hundred years ago... no, it should be said that before that great war, there was a continent in this world."

mainland?

Cap was puzzled: "Red Earth Continent? Has it always existed?"

Roger shook his head slightly: "It's not the thing that was formed later. I'm talking about the world, or the ocean with several continents, but now they have sunk to the bottom of the sea."

"The countless islands across the ocean are just parts of the original towering mass."

This made Karp take two steps back.

How can it be?
"Hahahaha!"

Roger laughed out loud, "Really? I thought it was a joke at first, and it said the world would eventually sink to the bottom of the sea."

At this point, Roger paused: "So you, who have an anonymous name, are also their enemy. Your appearance has allowed me to see another possibility for this world, and it is also the best possibility."

"Garp, do you think this world needs God? Or... does a country need a hereditary king? Putting the fate of the entire country on the character and good and evil of an individual."

Garp on the side rubbed his forehead helplessly: "I shouldn't have stayed here out of curiosity to listen to your nonsense. You continue to hide, and I will pretend that I didn't notice you, you bastard."

Originally, he just wanted to test Ace's new father, but he found out that he was the child's biological father.

Later, he thought he could disgust his old rival, but he ended up being framed instead. Garp waved his hand and ran away, taking the New Era newspaper that Roger bought with him.

And when the old man walked away, Roger smiled.

The weight of the world is shifting, and the fate of the person who used to have the anonymous name D is also changing, and is no longer so tragic.

The core idea of ​​my family is not to believe in fate.

But sometimes, people with the name of D will eventually become enemies of those guys.

The time is almost up. After eight hundred years, the world will finally usher in a new round of changes.

……

In the evening, Lu Jiu was dividing the plates after preparing dinner. Mr. Cap was coming to dinner today, so her husband Roger had to eat outside.

The meal was packed in a separate lunch box, and just as she was about to go out, Lu Jiu found that Garp was coming back with the two little ones.

However, Lu Jiu did not panic. Instead, she bowed to Garp and said, "Mr. Garp, dinner is ready. I'll give it to Bellmère and we'll be ready..."

Garp held the two kids fighting with one hand and picked his nose with the other hand: "If it's that bastard Roger, let him come back. I've already seen him today."

Her heart tightened, but Lu Jiu was not frightened.

He just paused and nodded, then walked outside. Before leaving, he asked Ace to take good care of Luffy and not to poke Luffy's nostrils as they were too big.

So... not long after, a strange scene appeared in this house.

"Ace, let me give you this fried radish."

"Ace... Is Grandpa good to you?"

"Ace..."

The third time, Ace couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, I really don't want to be a navy soldier. When I turn seventeen, I will go out to sea to join the revolutionary army!"

Uh!
Garp was stunned for a moment, but then he noticed the mocking look in Roger's eyes after he took off his mask.

So he made up his mind: "Join the revolutionary army? As long as your father doesn't mind, grandpa will support you!"

Ace looked curiously at the two people who never met each other.

My mother had previously told me not to mention my father to my grandfather, but now the two of them were sitting together for dinner.

At this time, Luffy, who had always been jealous of his brother's increased food intake, said, "So Ace's father is Grandpa's son? Is he my father's brother?"

Karp: Yes, yes, yes.

Roger: #╰(￣﹏￣)╯Shut up, kid!

"Boom."

After slapping the table, Roger stood up and pointed at Garp: "I want to duel with you!"

Garp glanced at him and clenched his fists, cracking his bones: "Are you sure?"

After he finished speaking, Roger thought about it and sat back down.

It would be fine if I couldn't win, but it would not be worth it if I got beaten in front of Ace.

This scene made Lu Jiu laugh. After thinking for a while, she said to Roger, "Mr. Karp is old, so we should be more accommodating. When we are old, we can only go to the tombstone to quarrel like this."

"Ok?"

Roger: () "Old man! When you are buried, do you believe I will dig you out and hang you up and beat you?"

Garp said disdainfully: "Then do you believe that Dorag will chase you around the world and beat you up?"

Roger looked proud: "Then wait until Dorag is buried, and then dig you two out together."

This made Karp stunned.

How can the immortal body be maintained forever?
So as long as the ability user is alive, this state can be maintained forever? Or even if the ability user is gone, he can still be immortal?
Seeing that he had won, Roger began to eat his dinner, feeling very proud.

Two people who have been fighting for their entire lives naturally don't want to admit defeat, even if it's just a verbal dispute.

Rouge, who helped her man win, was also very happy. She glared at Luffy who wanted to say something, making him swallow his words. Then she finished her dinner quietly.

At night, Cap and Roger sat in the yard.

"Return to headquarters tomorrow. But I will not report your affairs here to Zhan Guo."

"At most it's just a matter of moving. I can take your grandson with me."

"little bastard!"

"Old bastard!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

At this time, two little kids in the yard were playing a game of general and pirate, and the lines they said were those of the Black-Armed General.

"If this is the king's order, then from today on, I will no longer be the general of this country!"

"My wife and children were killed by pirates, and now the king is surrendering to them! Is there any hope for a country like this... a king like this?"

……

Garp sighed as he watched the game.

Roger at the side said, "Many people in the village bought the third issue of the New Era newspaper. The two kids started reading it after they came back and were fascinated by it. But... it's very similar to Zefa's story, isn't it?"

Karp said: "There are indeed many various problems in the navy, but these problems cannot ignore the role of the navy."

Roger smiled and said, "Yes. Sir said that this is a world of rottenness. The worst are those people on Marijoa. They are the source of all evil. The second worst are the pirates. They rob ordinary people without restraint..."

Garp looked at him and said, "It was you who started the Great Pirate Era! Turning yourself in to the Navy was your plan, wasn't it? Wasn't it you who made this world a worse place?"

Roger nodded slightly.

"So at that time, I felt that I should also be burned by that flame. Start the Great Pirate Era, and draw the world's attention and pursuit to the final island."

"There are the secrets of this world, everything that happened in the blank hundred years, and the meaning of the name D."

"I wanted to change this world where life is worse than death, and I sacrificed my own life to bring about the darkness before dawn. At that time, I did not regret it."

Garp: "You regret it now? It's too late to regret now. Pirates have become more and more rampant, and the navy can't form a balance with them. That's why the system of Shichibukai came into being."

Roger shook his head slightly: "No. Sir, I saw another possibility, another better possibility."

It's that gentleman again.

Garp snorted in annoyance and then continued to look at his two grandsons.

The new era of the third issue reflects the purpose of the Revolutionary Army, and the content about the Golden Entertainment City on the first page once again weakens the divine aura of the Celestial Dragons.

The content of the second edition reports on the events of a member country in the first half of the Grand Line.

The member states paid Heavenly Gold and were protected by the Navy. They were located in the first half of the Grand Line, where invasions by pirates were very frequent.

Although the navy always comes to protect us, there are many twists and turns involved.

When the navy arrives, this country needs to give a large sum of money as a reward regardless of whether the pirates are wiped out or not.

Of course, you don’t have to give it.

But if they don't give it, the next time the pirates invade and ask for help from the navy, it may take a very long time for them to arrive.

They arrived slowly, after a long time had passed since the corpses on the shore had been corroded by the sea water.

If this happens once or twice, the country will naturally have to pay.

At the same time, due to the frequent harassment of pirates, one group after another, the country's economy has been in a slump and gradually unable to withstand the pressure of Tian Shang Jin.

The king then launched a population clearance program.

Elderly people who were unable to produce labor were imprisoned, and then executed one by one in order to reduce the amount of gold that needed to be paid to the heaven.

The entire second edition of the New Era Newspaper is illustrated with pictures and text, detailing a series of changes that have taken place in the country since the Great Pirate Era.

The final result is a sentence: A world where life is worse than death.

Same title as at the beginning, and marked as to be continued.

When Karp saw the report in the afternoon, he was angry, but he also knew that the New Times was not making it up.

It has been a long time since the lower echelons of the navy have had problems with principles, but the headquarters has never been able to resolve the problem.

Those photos, as well as the detailed time and address of the incident, all told Cap its authenticity.

A world where life is worse than death. If this is the result the Navy has been maintaining, is this a good or bad result?
Cap didn't know either.

But since the emergence of this new era newspaper, he found that his usual trick of pretending to be ignorant seemed to be gradually losing its effect.

The third edition of the New Times is titled “A Dead Country: Ferefence”

The first thing that catches the eye in this edition is two photos, one of Ferefence in the past and the other of him in the present.

It wasn't long since the White Town was destroyed, and even many countries in the North Sea still remembered this once prosperous place.

The comparison between the two photos clearly illustrates this point.

The following is a detailed introduction to Perkin-Lead Disease.

Finally, it is about the causes and consequences of the destruction of Freifans.

Perl's disease is not contagious, but the king and nobles of this country have abandoned the people of this country from the very beginning. Before the outbreak of perl's disease, the nobles had already fled from Frevans.

A large number of people died. Three months of hope, three months of despair.

The entire report fully demonstrated not only Fevres' despair, but also the doctors' determination not to give up.

The article points out: In fact, Perkin Elliot disease was not the reason why they were massacred. The real reason was that the world government wanted to cover it up from the beginning to the end.

People are just cattle and horses to them. After platinum and lead mines can no longer generate profits, death is the simplest way to deal with them.

The nobles gained wealth and survived, but the only ones who died in the end were the ordinary people who were treated like cattle and horses.

But the survivors of Freifans still exist because the revolutionary army gave them hope, the hope to survive and heal their diseases.

[There is no God in this world. If there is, it is your own heart! ]

【There is no distinction between high and low life. If they want to plunder our remaining wealth and trample on our only life...then stand up! Throw them to the ground!】
