Overcast clouds, lightning and thunder.
The wind above his head suddenly became stronger, causing the man's robes to rustle, and the coat and hat covering his face to shake violently.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, snaked down, and hit the high execution platform ahead.
The face of the man shrouded in green clothes suddenly became serious, his eyes filled with inexplicable majesty, and he looked up at the front.
The execution platform that was empty a second ago was now filled with a figure.
The whole body was surrounded by blue arcs, and the white navy uniform and the cloak of justice behind his back were blown by the wind. In the background was the thunder and lightning that cut through the sky and was quickly disappearing.
"Xia Le!"
The man called out the other person's name.
Obviously, he knew the navy standing on the execution platform.
The wind suddenly became stronger.
Xia Le stood on the execution platform, looking down, his eyes staring at the man shrouded in green clothes and hat below.
"Dorag?"
Soon, he determined the identity of the other party.
"Whirring whirring!"
When he called out his name, tornadoes suddenly blew up on the ground in Central Park, kicking up sand and dust on the ground.
"Boom!"
Overhead, lightning cracked the sky.
The two looked at each other, neither making a sound, but observing each other quietly.
One person surrounds the hurricane, and the other person has thunder and lightning flashing behind him.
After a long time, Dorag suddenly laughed.
"What's the point of being in the Navy?"
"How about joining forces with me and overturning this world?"
Xia Le also smiled.
"Are you poaching your father?"
"The whole world knows that I am his disciple."
Hearing this, Dorag laughed even louder.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"But, I can see something in you that the old man doesn't have."
Xia Le showed an interested expression: "Oh?"
But Dorag's expression suddenly straightened, and the wind around him became stronger and stronger.
"Where's your dream?"
"Xia Le!"
"In other words, the morality you have upheld in your life! What is the path you want to take?"
Xia Le was slightly startled by the sudden question.
dream? Morality? road?
He really hadn't thought about these issues in detail yet, he just had a vague idea. Garp's life has been pretty good since he met him.
His power, reputation, and status are all rising steadily. He has even been hailed as the most promising navy in the new era of the navy, and some people have already approved of him inheriting the position of future navy marshal.
But he himself had never thought about these issues carefully.
"So, what do I want?"
Dorag's question made Xia Le think a lot at this moment. Various pictures and thoughts flowed through his mind.
After a while, a bolt of lightning flashed behind the execution platform, and he suddenly grinned.
"Dream?"
"Then I must be different from you, Dorag!"
Dorag was also laughing: "Then, let's talk about it!"
"Just treat it as an ordinary chat caused by a chance encounter."
"You are the old man's best disciple, and I am his most rebellious son who disappoints him."
"We have a great chat!"
Xia Le shook his head and said with the same smile: "I can't tell you that there is anything to talk about."
Then, the smile on his face faded in the next second, and he looked down, or farther away.
Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of everything in Rogge Town. You can see the distance, the endless ocean, and the vast world.
"I just think so."
Dorag concentrated and listened carefully.
"This world is too big!"
Xia Le said with a soft smile, with a touch of sadness and emotion in his eyes.
"It's so big that there are twenty kings!"
As soon as these words came out, they drifted away in the wind, but Dorag's pupils suddenly shrank.
"king."
"Too much!"
Xia Le smiled lightly, his eyes focused on Dorag below.
"One is enough, isn't it?"
Dorag was silent and stopped responding for a long time.
"Boom!"
The lightning flashes and the thunder shakes the sky.
At some point, Xia Le's figure on the execution platform had disappeared.
With a gust of wind blowing by, Dolag also left, as if he had never come before.
After a while, in a remote alleyway, a figure wearing a green coat was walking quickly.
"Do you actually have such an ambition?"
"Destroy Mary Joa and replace the twenty kings?"
"So, you want to create a new era of peace, or so."
Dorag's eyes suddenly became sharp.
"To build a world that is more cruel, dark, and decadent than theirs!"
While walking quickly, Dorag was thinking quickly in his mind.
"So, you stay in the Navy."
"Is it because the navy controls the largest and most powerful force in the world?"
Suddenly, Dorag looked forward.
I saw that the entire sky was divided into two halves by a golden lightning bolt, extending all the way to the distant sea.
"Thunder and lightning represent supreme authority!"
"In myths and legends, that is the power of the Lord of the Gods!"
As the lightning flickered, Dorag's expression was also uncertain.
He suddenly realized that the impact of the other party's ambitions on the future world might be beyond his imagination.
Night falls quickly.
That night, Xia Le's team did not find anyone else trying to break into the cage.
Compared to last night, this was a quiet night.
In a blink of an eye, the second day comes.
"Quick! Everyone go to the execution platform!"
"Xia Le, you come with us and escort Roger."
At five o'clock in the morning, Zefa came to them.
Everyone can clearly feel the tense atmosphere at this time, and everyone knows exactly what day it is.
"yes!"
Xia Le nodded.
He followed Zefa into the place where Roger was imprisoned, and soon saw Roger at this time.
From the outside, the other person did not have any fear or mental breakdown. Instead, when he saw him, he smiled and said hello to him.
On the road, Zefa was on the left, Xia Le was on the right, Roger was walking in front, and behind him were two teams of serious-looking jailers.
"Any last words? Roger!"
Everyone's steps were steady, neither fast nor slow. Xia Le suddenly asked.
Zefa stood aside and seemed not to hear.
"Last words?"
Roger smiled slightly, his mustache trembling above his lips.
"People are going to die, so what's the use of last words?"
There was a pause.
"but."
"If you have anything to say, then."
"Take care of the knife in your waist for me!"
Xia Le was startled, then sighed softly.
"Ace?"
Roger grinned and looked at the sea level ahead, where the rising sun had already emerged.
"Ace!"
"In the future, he will see a world that I cannot see!"
Xia Le held the handle of the long knife at his waist with his right hand, and then slowly released it.
"I'll show him."
Hearing this, Roger grinned.
After a while, Garp and Sengoku arrived and joined the team.
Everyone's steps were still steady, and Roger in the middle had his hands and feet shackled, making a jingling sound as he walked, slowly walking towards the execution platform.
On the streets of Rogge Town, more and more pedestrians crowded over, looking at this scene with curiosity, excitement, or excitement.
"Roger!"
"Is that the Pirate King Roger?"
