Chapter 264 Roger, the Loose Man

After Roger ate the contract fruit, black text appeared in his vision.

[Contract Mission (1/5)]

Mission: Defeat the Black Shadow Pirates
Mission Reward: Thermal Weapon Mastery Level 1
"What a magical fruit! It can even mark the target's location for me?"

Roger's thinking is more profound than that of ordinary people.

It is impossible to randomly lock onto a target in the vast ocean, even if you have the ability to listen to the sounds of all things.

The game merchant that Rayleigh mentioned is really mysterious.

"I seem to have heard of the Black Shadow Pirates. They are a group of guys who roam around the Sabaody Archipelago and engage in the slave trade."

After hearing the content of Roger's mission, Rayleigh asked, "Do you need help?"

Roger had just been resurrected, and he was worried that the other party had not yet adapted to the current sea.

"unnecessary!"

Roger looked at the red dot of the target that appeared in his field of vision and jumped into the sea to swim over.

A moment later, the clouds not far away suddenly exploded.

Roger returned to his clothes, all wet, with a flintlock in his hand.

"Rayleigh, be careful, I feel so strong now!"

He raised his arm, pointed the black barrel of the gun at Rayleigh, and pulled the trigger.

boom.

The smell of gunpowder rushed into my nose.
Rayleigh caught the lead bullet steadily. He noticed something unusual and after carefully observing the lead bullet, he asked, "Is it a passive skill for pistol mastery?"

He is a first-tier player who has redeemed more than 100,000 reward points.

Naturally, you can clearly see Roger's novice rewards.

It's nothing more than initial skills or basic equipment.

"Yes, it's really eye-opening. It can actually increase the power of firearms."

Roger stroked the barrel of the gun excitedly.

For him, the strength improvement brought by this Lv. 1 skill is very weak and can be almost ignored.

The reason for such excitement is that this is something completely new that has never appeared in the world of pirates.

In just half a day,

Roger completed all the contract tasks and became a new player.

"I'm proficient with short sticks. I've never used a stick weapon before. There's a young man named Kaido in the Rocks Pirates who seems to be good at maces. I feel like I can compete with him now!"

Roger picked up a discarded wooden stick in the cabin and kept swinging it back and forth on the deck.

"Mastering the long sword, is it like Whitebeard's Jungkuri? It's really interesting. I must borrow his sword to play with it when the time comes!"

"Weapon Master Seal?"

Roger held a badge-like ornament in his hand, and words appeared on it.

As long as you can gather all nine basic weapon proficiency, you can activate the ability of this badge [Crude Weapon Master].

When you master any weapon, your proficiency increases by 20 points.

"The game introduction says that it is a special piece of equipment from some other world, made specifically for [individual] players by a master craftsman."

Roger squinted his eyes and looked closely at the chest, feeling very satisfied.

The most satisfying one is the individual profession mentioned.

There are almost no main skills, all of them are passive abilities similar to [Mastery], and you can steal skills from any profession, having a very free fighting style.

“This is a career tailor-made for me!”

Roger danced with excitement and drank two bottles of cheap beer in succession, not even caring about the smell of rust.

Rayleigh was standing beside him, just smiling silently.

"By the way, Rayleigh, have you started to retire now?"

"The captain has been executed, so of course I can only retire in retirement."

"Now that the captain is back, do you still want to go on an adventure with me?"

Roger looked at Rayleigh with a smile in his eyes.

This former right-hand man of his, the soul of Roger's pirate group, the vice-captain who commanded the overall situation. Things have changed.

More than ten years have passed, and the former crew members have long since scattered. Kids like Shanks have even founded their own forces, but there are still some crew members who are still waiting alone.

"Until death!"

Rayleigh also laughed.
He had no interest in venturing out on his own in the chaotic ocean, which was why he resurrected Roger.

Rayleigh turned his head and looked at the Lunaria kid with some respect for his talent, and asked, "And you, kid, do you want to go on an adventure with us?"

"I want to be an adventurer, not a pirate!"

Although the little devil from the Lunalia tribe was somewhat tempted, he still shook his head to refuse.

Rayleigh showed a look of regret.
Haven't spoken yet.
He was interrupted by Roger's loud laughter: "Hahaha, in that case, then we are adventurers!"

"Hunting unknown monsters, traveling to countless other worlds, searching for exciting equipment and skills, aren't we the adventurers Shanks talked about?"

The Lunaria kid's eyes widened.

He looked at Roger in confusion.
This is the Pirate King, the most prestigious pirate in the ocean. Would he just throw away his proud title so easily?
"Little boy, we are adventurers now. Are you still going to refuse?"

Rayleigh also laughed.
There was no surprise at Roger's words, even though the title of Pirate King was something their pirate group had obtained with great difficulty.

But no one cares.

Like Roger, what they care about is the adventurous process, and the title of Pirate King is just a trivial thing they get along the way.

Just like bad beer, it can be drunk or thrown away.

One Piece,
Aren't you the freest person in this ocean?
"Very good, I declare the Roger Adventure Group officially established, and pay tribute to the great President Shanks!"

No joking intention,
When Roger said this, he thought of Shanks's young face and tried hard to piece together what he should look like now.

Maybe it’s an uncle with a beard like me?

no matter what,

He was proud of the new era that Shanks had created and was truly happy for Shanks.

I hope we can meet again in the future.

Although the sea is very big, it is sometimes very small. As long as there is enough time, we will meet again one day.

When the time comes, I will definitely have a grand banquet with Shanks and the brat.

Chabaoti Archipelago, naval base.

Because it is the only way to the New World, many pirates, merchants and bounty hunters gather here.

Including human traffickers and people of various races who were trafficked here, there are often celestial dragons visiting.

Therefore, the leader of the naval base here is a lieutenant general with rich combat experience.

"The latest intelligence: A pirate who possesses the ability of Conqueror's Haki has appeared near the Sabaody Archipelago!"

A navy soldier rushed into the office.

The Vice Admiral raised his eyelids and asked in surprise, "Where did you get this news? Overlord Haki is not something that can be found everywhere. Don't tell me it's a misunderstanding."

As everyone knows,

The Overlord Haki is an extremely unique talent, and it can be cultivated to the level of entanglement. I'm afraid it has already become famous.

Kaido, the Beast King, has been announced to be killed by the [New Emperor] Straw Hat Pirates.

Crimson Troll Whitebeard,
Linlin, the Queen of Trent who is currently in seclusion, is a master of the domineering color.

They are all well-known guys, how could a pirate group suddenly appear that can be entangled with Conqueror's Haki but has no news?

"It's true. Several destroyed pirate groups have been captured and salvaged."

"The captains are all big pirates with bounties of over 100 million. I saw with my own eyes that a pirate dressed as the Pirate King Roger defeated them easily."

The words fell,

The Vice Admiral was shocked at first, then sneered: "Pirate King Roger, pretending to be a guy who has been dead for more than ten years is really a childish move."

"How could a guy like this possibly have Conqueror Haki?"

As he spoke,
The naval base had begun to tremble slightly, and a flying slash wrapped in the domineering color directly cut off the roof of the entire naval base.

An extremely domineering voice echoed,

"I heard from the slave trader that he gave you a lot of bribes. I'm the adventurer Roger, and I'm here to take away this ill-gotten gains!"
