The loud laughter of Pirate King Roger echoed in the ears of Yuichiro Tsugakuin and others.
Upon hearing Roger's intentions, both Ichimi and Mihawk were shocked. Tsugikoku Yoriichi, standing before Roger, simply glanced at him and then, expressionlessly, sheathed his sword.
"Huh?"
"Kid, aren't you surprised at all?!"
"It's okay to act a little surprised!"
Roger had clearly mastered the secret of life return, able to control all the muscles in his body with ease. The wound under his armpit was no longer bleeding, and seeing Ji Guoyuan's calm expression, Roger was surprised and let out a small exclamation.
In fact, Tsugikuni Yoriichi had already guessed Roger's intentions long before he learned from Koshiro's Den Den Mushi that Roger appeared in Dressrosa waiting for him.
Surrender.
In fact, it was within the scope of Yunyi's guess, but he didn't expect that the other party actually came to surrender.
Instead of looking for his good "good friend" Garp, he found himself, the Vice Admiral of the Navy, whom he had only met a few times.
"Don't you want to know why?" Roger looked at Tsugikoku Yoshiichi's calm expression, and for some reason he suddenly felt itchy in his heart.
It was the first time Roger had ever experienced the feeling of desperately wanting others to find out his secrets. Previously, when he was on the ship, every time he teased Shanks and Buggy, the two boys would always foolishly ask questions as he expected.
But Tsugikoku Yoshiichi
"He really doesn't look like a teenage brat! Doesn't this guy have any curiosity at all?"
Roger looked at Yuichiro Tsugikuni and sighed in his heart.
However, Mihawk, standing by, gave Roger an opportunity to speak up. He asked him in confusion, "Why? Why would a man like you turn himself in?"
Hearing Mihawk's question, Roger grinned, his mouth slightly opened as he was about to answer when he heard Jiguo Yuanyi interrupt, "He's going to die."
"Hey, you little bastard, don't interrupt me!" Roger was choked by Yunyi's "interruption" when the words were about to come out of his mouth, and subconsciously couldn't help but yell angrily.
But just as he finished speaking, Roger was stunned. He looked at Jigoku Yoshiichi solemnly and asked, "How did you know I was going to die?"
Hearing Roger's affirmative answer, Mihawk and Yixiao both looked at Roger in surprise. After hearing the news that Roger was planning to surrender to the navy, they were also secretly guessing the reason why Roger did this.
They thought that Roger wanted to use this to make them let down their guard so that he could kill them; they also thought that Roger might have a deep hatred for a high-ranking member of the Navy and wanted to take this opportunity to go to the Navy Headquarters and kill them; the two also thought that Roger might have a companion who was captured by the Navy and taken to Impel Down, and wanted to go to Impel Down to rescue him.
The two of them guessed a lot, but they didn't think of this reason.
Going to die?
Is Pirate King Roger going to die?
What?
Yixiao and Mihawk were both shocked. If this news had not been confirmed by Roger himself, they really wanted to curse "Fake news".
After recovering from their shock, Yixiao and Mihawk also looked at Tsugaru Yoriichi.
Roger is going to die. If the news is true, then how did Tsugikuni Yoshiichi know it?
The three of them focused their eyes on Yunyi, waiting for his answer.
"I am a little different from most people. I can see things that others can't see."
Tsugikuni Yoriichi answered perfunctorily, but Roger and others nodded in approval after hearing this answer, and did not show any doubt about Yoriichi's answer.
There are so many humans with strange abilities on this sea. Even the Lunalia race, which can be called "gods", exists. It is not uncommon for humans with special abilities, such as Yoriichi Tsugikuni, to appear.
Moreover, Tsugikuni Yoriichi was able to grow to this level in just a few years. No matter what abilities he had, there was nothing more terrifying than his talent.
"Is that so? I see."
"It's truly a rare ability!"
Roger didn't delve into this issue further. He stroked his beard and nodded.
"Does anyone else know this news besides you?" Roger asked Yunyi with a frown on his face.
What happened today was somewhat beyond Roger's expectations.
"I told Vice Admiral Garp, but no one else. After all, no one would believe me even if I told them."
Yoriichi answered casually, saying that he hadn't concealed this from Roger. Since the other party's goal was to surrender, Yoriichi Tsugikuni could relax his vigilance against Roger.
If it were someone else, they might still be quite wary of the Pirate King in front of them, and would never let their guard down even if the other party said he was surrendering.
However, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni is a person with the third eye after all, so Roger can still be trusted.
"Kid, I have something to tell you. Can you let these two of your men go and have some rest?"
Roger looked at Yixiao and Mihawk standing in front of Yunyi, and suddenly said with a smile. Hearing this, Yixiao also tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, and his breath became heavy.
He was the "ordinary person" that Yuanyi mentioned, and he did not really trust Roger's surrender.
"Don't bother with that. They're both my most trusted partners. If you have anything to say, just tell them directly."
"No need to be shy about anything."
Ji Guoyuanyi walked behind Yixiao, patted Yixiao on the back, signaled Yixiao not to be nervous, and then said to Roger.
When Roger heard what Yunyi said, there was obviously some hesitation on his face.
When his life is coming to an end, he will surrender to the navy. In order to publicize the fact that they have captured the "Pirate King", the navy will definitely not kill him privately. Public execution is an important means of announcing the navy's status to the world.
And by taking this opportunity, he will be able to shake up the entire world before he dies.
Big secret treasure.
As long as there are pirates who pursue this legendary treasure, the 800 things buried by the World Government will one day be revealed to the sun.
Those who liberate the world will one day be attracted by the legendary One Piece, come to this sea, and embark on the path that fate has already arranged!
In addition to fulfilling this wish.
Roger also hopes that the navy, which truly has justice in its heart, can protect the lives of his wife and children.
Yes, the Pirate King Roger, after roaming the sea for decades, in the last stage of his life, has a wife and children.
When he went out to sea, he had just learned that his wife was pregnant.
He was originally alone and needed to do something for his family.
Why didn't Roger ask his former crew members to find his wife and protect his unborn child? The reason is simple: do you want your pirates to become wanted pirates like you in the future?
After entrusting his family to Rayleigh and the others, Roger can already see the "future" of his children.
Therefore, the person Roger surrendered to was also carefully considered by Roger. His first choice was actually his "good friend", the navy hero Garp, who was a member of the D clan like himself!
Roger trusts Garp as if he were a partner. More importantly, Garp is a navy, and a powerful and prestigious navy at that!
As for why he came to see Yoriichi Tsugikuni, Roger initially just wanted to take a look at the "future of the navy".
What really made Roger decide to surrender to Yoriichi was after he stayed in Dressrosa for a while and was injured by Yoriichi Tsugikuni and his companions today.
Roger finally decided on his candidate.
Yoriichi Tsugakuni, the youngest vice admiral in the history of the Navy, is rumored to be a disciple of former Admiral Zephyr of the Marine Headquarters, and has a close relationship with Garp.
Roger had not only heard of the unkillable general, but also fought against him when he was young. Roger expressed his approval of Zefa's personality.
After considering what Tsugakuni Yoshiichi had done, Roger also believed that Tsugakuni Yoshiichi was a "righteous" navy man. Such a person would never sit idly by and watch innocent people being killed!
Yunyi's personality meets Roger's selection requirements.
But just having a sense of justice is not enough. To protect the wife and children of Pirate King Roger, he also needs strong strength and absolute prestige.
After the battle just now, Roger also recognized the strength of Yuichiro Tsugakuni. He believed that Yuichiro Tsugakuni's strength was strong enough and could be called "top" in this world. There should be no problem in protecting his wife and children.
As for the last one. Prestige
Yoshikazu Tsugakuni was a young navy officer who had ascended to the rank of Vice Admiral by killing Shiki the Golden Lion. If he were to capture his Pirate King himself,
How many people in the navy can even talk about "prestige" in front of Tsugikuni Yoriichi?!
Roger was extremely confident that Yoriichi Tsugakuni would become another "privilege" of the Marine Headquarters after Garp.
Roger reorganized his thoughts in his mind, then looked at Xiang Yixiao and Mihawk, examined them carefully, and finally made up his mind.
His tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and with a slight nod, Roger said:
"While I surrender myself, I hope that you, Tsugikuni Yoriichi, can protect my wife and my unborn child!"
As soon as Roger finished speaking, Mihawk's pupils suddenly shrank, and the muscles on his face tightened as he smiled. His tightly closed eyes opened slightly, revealing the whites of his eyes.
Jiguo Yuanyi closed his eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It is so."
For a moment, the deck of the Dawn warship fell into silence.
Roger knew that there was a gambling element in his behavior, but from the day he planned to surrender himself, he had already sat at the gambling table. Choosing Tsugikuni Yoriichi or Garp was nothing more than a matter of betting big or small.
Although Roger trusts Garp, how can one be 100% sure about human beings?
There was a long silence.
"I know I'm a pirate wanted by the navy. If I surrender myself to the navy, there's no way I'll survive!"
"But my wife and unborn child are innocent!"
"They have not enjoyed the wealth of a pirate like me, nor have they done anything using my name."
"Tsugikuni Yoriichi, does your justice allow the navy to kill innocent people?"
Ji Guoyuan didn't say a word, and Roger's heart sank, and he couldn't help but speak.
After hearing what he said, Yixiao and Mihawk both turned their heads to look at Yuichiro Tsuchikuni, waiting for Yuichiro Tsuchikuni's answer.
"What would you do?" Although the person involved was not Yixiao, at this moment, Yixiao couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
If Roger had asked himself this question, he would have already known the answer. He hoped that Tsugikuni Yoriichi's answer would be the same as his.
Mihawk also looked at Yoriichi Tsugakuni with some anticipation. Although he didn't care about justice, he wanted to see what choice this guy who often interpreted the justice of the navy to him would make.
After a while, Jiguo Yuanyi finally opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of foul air, and said softly: "This is really a troublesome matter!"
"But... I promised!"
"Unfortunate things happen every day in this world. If you don't know about them, you'll be powerless to do anything about it."
"But now that I know about this, I will not sit idly by and watch something happen that harms innocent people."
"I agree to your request! Of course, I can't guarantee success. After all, nothing in this world is 100% certain."
Jiguoyuan said this with a resounding voice, and Roger couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Jiguoyuan's affirmative answer. Although Yuanyi didn't pat his chest to make any promises, Yuanyi's attitude made Roger feel more at ease.
The young and stable "Navy Future", perhaps entrusting the family to him is the best choice.
After staying at anchor on the sea for a while, the warship Dawn restarted and headed quickly towards Dressrorosa.
When the warship docked in the naval port, the onlookers in Dressrosa and the stationed navy and guards rushed directly towards the warship.
Everyone had seen clearly the terrifying commotion at sea before. Even the most ignorant people realized that the navy had encountered a terrifying enemy.
The people of Dressrosa, who have become accustomed to the navy's presence, do not want anything to happen to Yoriichi Tsugakuni and his men. No one wants to lose this unprecedented safe environment.
The warship stopped steadily and a long wooden ladder was lowered from the ship to the shore.
Tsugikoku Yoshiichi was the first to appear in everyone's sight, slowly walking down the wooden stairs.
"Lieutenant General Jiguo is injured!"
When the people saw the huge bloodstain on Tsugakuni Yoshiichi's chest, they immediately exclaimed in shock. It was the first time in such a long time that they saw Tsugakuni Yoshiichi with injuries on his body.
Behind Tsugikuni Yoriichi were Ichisho and Mihawk.
But at this moment, the people's attention was focused on the figure behind Mihawk and Yixiao, the middle-aged man with handcuffs on his hands.
"Sea One Piece!"
“Roger!!!”
The bar owner who was watching the fun recognized the middle-aged man escorted by the navy at a glance and couldn't help but exclaim.
Hearing his call, all the people screamed. Some even ran back to their homes, found a wanted poster, and returned to the shore. Comparing it with the photo on the wanted poster, the people finally understood what was happening.
The Navy actually captured the legendary Pirate King!
Big news. Big news enough to shock the world!
The trade in Dressrosa Port is very developed, and the people here are of all kinds. The news that Pirate King Roger was captured by the navy was spread to all parts of the world through various channels at the first time.
The Navy Headquarters also received a reporting call from the Dawn Branch a day later.
"What?! Tsugikoku Yoriichi and the others captured the Pirate King?"
"That Pirate King Roger?!"
In the admiral's office, Zhan Guo received a report call from Cyrus. He immediately jumped up from his chair and growled sharply with an expression of disbelief on his face.
