"It's you!"
Lox was shocked, never expecting that the promise of seeing him again was actually true.
Although his body felt light and airy, he was certain that his consciousness had indeed come back to life.
Roger and General White Tiger also slowly regained consciousness.
Looking around, I felt incredulous.
"Where am I...? Wasn't I dead?!"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lockes turned around, his killing intent surging.
"Roger, you didn't expect to see me again, did you!"
Roger was startled and looked up, where he saw Rocks' murderous aura.
"Lox, weren't you dead more than a decade ago?!"
"More than ten years ago?" Locke was taken aback, then turned to stare at Lu Renjia with a puzzled look.
Roger followed his gaze and his attention also fell on Lu Renjia.
"I've been...dead for over ten years?"
Rocks asked incredulously, as if the Battle of God Valley was just yesterday.
Tell him now that more than a decade has passed?!
Lu Renjia waved his hand and said calmly, "You haven't been dead for more than ten years, but for several decades."
"Roger, who is right next to you, reached Laugh Tale, the end of the Grand Line, more than ten years after your death. He learned the truth of the world and was called the Pirate King."
"What?! Someone like Roger actually became the Pirate King?"
Lox could not accept it.
Who was Roger anyway, to be able to surpass him as the ruler of the seas and become the Pirate King?
"Why can't I become the Pirate King?! I'm not necessarily weaker than you now. Back then, we did outnumber each other, but now let's see who's better!"
Roger, as the Pirate King, also had his own pride; how could he allow himself to be looked down upon!
Rocks found it amusing; if he hadn't been physically exhausted back then, even if he and Garp had teamed up, they might not have been a match for him.
"Come on, I'll show you who the real sea lord is!"
"Fine, I'll leave then. You think I'm afraid of you?!"
Just as Rocks and Roger were about to make their move, Lu Renjia, who was lying down, had already lost his patience.
A terrifying aura swept across the sky and earth, engulfing mountains and rivers.
In an instant, the sky darkened, and black clouds rolled in, trembling as if they had encountered some great terror.
The three people, including Locke, who were closest to Lu Renjia, suddenly sank into the sand, as if a mountain had been placed on their backs.
"Just by his aura, he made me feel the breath of death? Who exactly is he?!"
Rocks was horrified; this was power from a completely different dimension.
Roger was no less surprised than Rocks; what had happened in the world after his death?
Such a powerful being is far more terrifying than any "powerful being" he knew in Laugh Tale.
Lu Renjia didn't immediately back down; they were being too noisy, so he decided to teach them a lesson first.
Although their memories could be erased directly, turning them into true puppets.
However, that would mean they would lose their own emotions and be unable to cause greater panic among the navy and the Celestial Dragons on Mary Geoise.
The terrifying aura continued to press down on them, and the body of the weakest White Tiger General began to disintegrate.
Lu Renjia incorporated methods to combat the soul into his aura, causing their bodies to shatter as if their flesh were collapsing.
"Crack! Crack!"
Soon, cracking sounds also came from Rocks and Roger's bodies, and the intense pain caused their foreheads to be covered in cold sweat that shouldn't have been there.
Feeling the suffocating pressure, they couldn't even utter a sound of begging for mercy.
Seeing that it was about time, Lu Renjia slowly withdrew his imposing aura.
Lockes and the others immediately gasped for breath, and for a moment they felt that they were going to die again.
At this moment, Lu Renjia's emotionless voice rang out.
"You blind fools, do you really think you're still the same person you used to be? If I wanted to, I could kill you all right now!"
Roger was unconvinced; he had long since disregarded life and death.
"Hmph, although I don't know who you are, there's absolutely no way you'll make me work for you. Kill me or torture me, it's up to you!"
Lu Renjia glanced at him indifferently, a wicked smile appearing on his lips.
With a sudden movement, the white tiger general, embedded in the sand, was caught in mid-air and had his throat gripped.
In an instant, his eyes lost their luster, and he was completely reduced to a puppet.
Rocks and Roger saw it clearly; the White Tiger General now felt to them like a fighting machine devoid of any emotion.
"Kill you? Do you think I resurrected you just to kill you?"
Lu Renjia casually tossed aside the White Tiger General and turned to stare at the arrogant Roger.
As long as the Impure World Reincarnation technique is not dispelled, no one can kill them.
Roger felt a bad premonition when he was stared at like that.
Looking at the carefree Roger, Lu Renjia didn't have much affection for him either.
Because of his own selfishness, he dragged his wife and children into a desperate situation.
If he hadn't turned himself in, his wife wouldn't have let Ace stay in her belly for so long, and he wouldn't have died.
At the same time, because of him, the Great Pirate Era began, attracting countless people.
Countless vicious pirates emerged from this place, countless civilians died at the hands of pirates, and countless families were torn apart.
It was all because of Roger; he was the one who used the One Piece to start the so-called Age of Exploration.
What kind of confidence does a good-for-nothing who can't even protect his own wife and children have?
Roger clenched his fists tightly, sensing the contempt in Lu Renjia's eyes.
That was not contempt based on strength, but contempt based on his character.
Rocks hadn't expected that Roger's reputation was even worse than his in Lu Renjia's eyes.
Sensing that something interesting was about to happen, I reluctantly decided to remain on the sidelines and watch.
Lu Renjia stood up, walked up to Roger, and stepped on his head.
"You don't really think you have any strength, do you? If I didn't want those stupid Navy guys to feel endless pain, I could crush them with a single finger."
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and chuckled, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, it's 1520 now, and your son has grown up."
"Judging by the time, it's about time for the Navy to publicly execute his son, the Pirate King."
Upon hearing this, Roger looked incredulous.
"No, you're lying to me!"
"Heh, you mean your son is protected by Garp and there will be absolutely no problems, right?" Lu Renjia said jokingly.
Roger was speechless, never expecting that his thoughts had been read by someone.
"Garp is dead. Do you think he can protect your son?"
After saying that, Lu Renjia snapped his fingers.
The sandy ground in the distance trembled, and a coffin emerged from it.
The coffin was opened, and a familiar face appeared before Roger and Rocks.
"Garp!"
