374 Roger Pirates Apprentice
🕑 Added 2025-12-04 06:11:02 +0000 UTCAfter a series of twists and turns,
The dragging team successfully expanded to five people, with Hawkins also following beside Orin.
"Ne, Hawkins, help me calculate what would be appropriate for me to eat today?"
"Like seafood ramen?"
"...Compatibility rate 13%."
"Indeed, I don't really feel like eating seafood today, then... Beef and potato rice?"
"Compatibility rate 88%."
Orin pinched his chin and nodded,
He did inexplicably feel like he would enjoy beef and potato today,
"What a convenient ability~"
Except when predicting those with great fortune, where the divination would occasionally fail, such as low probability events occurring,
Hawkins' divinations were mostly very accurate.
Next up were [Mad Monk] Urouge, and [Red Flag] X Drake, they seemed to be not far from here,
Leading the dragging team, Orin and his group walked towards a plaza,
At this moment in the plaza, the [Mad Monk] was exchanging blows with a Pacifista. It seemed the Navy hadn't completely relied on Orin,
Although no Admiral came, they still sent out the Pacifista.
"It really looks just like Little Kuma~"
Orin looked it over for a few moments; on the surface, one could hardly tell any difference.
However, the few Supernovas captured by him were now looking at that tall figure with solemn expressions,
"Little... Kuma? Do you mean that [Tyrant]?!!!"
"What exactly is the background of this [Black Gun]!!!"
The brats of the new era found that Orin was like an abyss; one never knew how deep the water was.
Knocking Urouge back with a single blow, the Pacifista also turned its head at this time, its mechanical eyes constantly scanning this group that had suddenly appeared,
First, it instantly locked onto several heads,
"Pirates: Eustass Kid, Killer, Hawkins..."
Just as it locked onto the heads of several pirates and was preparing to fire a laser, a man's figure appeared in the scanning field of view,
Although much younger, he could still be identified,
"Target: Saint Orin... Selection impossible."
The command authority carved into the code, no less than that of the Elder level, made it impossible for the Pacifista to attack, and it even actively made way.
"This is..."
Urouge saw the scene before him, clutching the wounds on his body, a bit of cold sweat breaking out on his face,
Although he didn't know the specific identity of the young Orin, seeing the captured Supernovas and the "Shichibukai" who actively made way and was incredibly respectful, he knew this was no small character.
Just as Urouge was sizing up Orin, Orin paid him no attention, instead grabbing Bonney beside him,
"Papa!!! I'm Bonney!!!"
"Behave yourself, he's not your papa, just a robot that looks exactly the same."
Bonney wanted to break free, but hearing Orin's words, she also sensed something was wrong, so she became despondent again.
"I remember now, you are that legendary pirate, the master of the Sabaody Archipelago, [Black Gun]!!!"
Urouge broke out in a cold sweat on his face, looking at the defeated and handcuffed Supernovas, and clenched his fists,
"I am Urouge, a Karma Human who ate the Karma-Karma Fruit. Any attack you unleash will only make me stronger!!!"
"Is that so..."
Orin pinched his chin, lifted his long leg, and kicked out,
"Warp Kick—"
...
During the time the other Supernovas were being swept away,
Luffy and Law's groups had just escaped the incident of beating up the Celestial Dragon. Thanks to Dark King Rayleigh's intervention, Camie was able to escape the explosive collar,
"That was really reckless..."
The scruffy old man in a white cloak originally wanted to come to the auction house to see if he could find a few bottles of good wine to drink, putting the tab on Orin,
But he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
The moment he saw Luffy, he knew this was the man Shanks had told him about, the one entrusted with the will,
So he followed them all the way out of the auction house.
Law also took the opportunity to break out. After suffering a setback at the hands of the Pacifista, he didn't choose to fight head-on,
Instead, he used his fruit ability to temporarily escape the Pacifista's pursuit.
As for Luffy and his group, they followed Rayleigh and arrived at Shakky's bar, where the whole crew gathered,
And Rayleigh began to chat with Luffy, the one recognized by Shanks as the inheritor of Roger's will,
When he learned that Rayleigh was once the Pirate King's Vice Captain, Luffy opened his mouth wide in surprise,
The other crew members were also extremely surprised.
They didn't expect to meet such a big shot!!!
"Eh? Didn't Hachi tell you?"
"I forgot."
Sitting in the bar, several of them exclaimed with emotion,
"It has even appeared in history books!!!"
Only Brook was calmly eating beans,
"There seemed to be a rookie named Roger in the past? Or maybe not~"
However, Sanji, smoking a cigarette, raised a question at this time,
"Pirate King Roger was executed 22 years ago. Shouldn't your pirate crew have all been arrested?"
Rayleigh just smiled,
"No... Roger turned himself in."
Subsequently, Rayleigh recounted the story of those years to everyone, including Roger's illness and Crocus joining the ship,
"But titles have no meaning for a dying man, yet he was a man who liked everything to be earth-shattering!!!"
Rayleigh sat alone at the bar, a look of reminiscence flashing in his eyes,
Then came the disbandment of the Roger Pirates, Roger surrendering, and the public execution.
Hearing this story, the Straw Hat crew couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation in their scalps,
"What a tragic and heroic story, Roger was the person who started the Pirate Era!!!"
"That's hard to say... After all, Roger is dead, and those who create the era are always the people living in that era."
"Those who inherited the will from Roger in the square that day also exist in this era,"
"Orin, whom you are all familiar with, was one of them back then."
"Orin-san... So he really was a crew member of the Pirate King!!!"
"Yes."
Rayleigh took a swig of wine and said with a smile,
"Among the rookies on the ship at that time, Orin was the most impressive one, and also the strongest existence among the brats back then, Shanks back then was defeated by him more than once."
If not for saving a bit of reputation for Shanks, Rayleigh actually really wanted to tell the story of how he was defeated back then; it was quite amusing to think about now.
"There is also Buggy from the East Blue, you should have heard of him. The three of them used to be apprentices on our ship."
"Speaking of which, you have to be careful, Orin is on the Sabaody Archipelago right now..."
Rayleigh swirled his wine glass, smiling as he said words that made the entire Straw Hat crew break out in cold sweat,
"A monster even more terrible than Shanks who has already become an Emperor of the Sea, the current Orin... Perhaps he is already stronger than Roger was back then."
