Chapter 20: Next Stop! The legendary town of Roger!

"Here, cheers to our new partner, Lars!"

Rogge and Rhona raised their glasses, and Lars raised them with some embarrassment, touched them with the brother and sister, and drank them all, but his heart was excited.

"Rogge, Rhona, thank you!"

Rogge laughed: "The first thing to do when you become a partner is to remember that we don't need to be thankful for each other!" โ€

"Okay, thank you for telling me, Rogge!"

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

It was the first time for Lars to leave the isolated island, and he was so excited about everything, he kept asking questions, but he didn't know about the world, and made many jokes.

Of course, this is limited to facing Roger, and when he faces Rona, he is introverted and shy by nature, but he still can't help but blush, and he can't speak.

Lorna likes to tease him very much, and every time she has to make him scared and run away.

On this day, Lorna was constantly chasing Lars to ask questions, Lars was teased by her and was speechless, so he could only flee in all directions, but unfortunately the Coconut Fruit was only so big, and Lars could only keep going around in circles.

"Okay Rhona, don't tease him, what's our next stop, and when will we get there?" Rogge looked at the two of them, and hurriedly stopped Rona and asked.

Lorna took out the map, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "The next stop is Rogue Town, Roge, where you were found...... It's about a day and a half away......"

Rogge was slightly stunned, Rogge Town? It's almost coming, so the great route is just around the corner...... That adventure mecca that all men yearn for is also a dangerous Jedi of nine deaths......

Also, in Rogue Town, I don't know what adventures will be encountered, will I encounter ...... What about the man?

Lars also became excited: "Rogue Town? It sounds so powerful, I don't know how it compares to my hometown of Aroso, is there a lot of prey to ......

Lorna slapped him on the head and said, "Rogue Town is the starting point of the great voyage, a very prosperous place, and it is completely different from the primeval forest island in your hometown!" Also, don't be full of prey, it's a big city, there are no tigers, lions and wolves! โ€

Lars was hit by her, but he was not angry, and blushed slightly: "Really? So, I can see a lot of people? I don't know what the city is like, but I've heard that there are many things to buy and sell, there are a lot of good food, beautiful clothes, and all kinds of fun things...... I'm really looking forward to it! โ€

Rogge smiled: "Don't worry, you'll see you soon!" โ€

"Rhona, when we get to Rogue Town, we are going to change ships, although this coconut ship is good, it will definitely not be able to withstand the destruction of the great voyage, I'm afraid it may not even be able to pass the upside-down mountain......"

Rhona said, "Huh? I've just had a little affection for it, and I'm going to change ships? โ€

Rogge smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because of this that it needs to be replaced, I don't want to wait until I really have a deep relationship with it, so I have to abandon it, wouldn't it be more painful?" โ€

He thought of the scene in the original book of the Pirate World, where the Straw Hats had to burn the Merry, although it was very moving, but Rog didn't want to go through the pain of life and death.

"Okay, okay...... However, it is expensive to change a ship capable of conquering the great voyage, Rogge, where do we have so much money?! โ€

Rogge smiled mysteriously: "It's okay, I have a way to get money." โ€

In his pocket, there is also a Devil Fruit, which is the third Yunyun Fruit he made, such a powerful fruit can easily be sold for a starting price of 100 million, and it is still easy to exchange it for a ship.

He had also asked Lars if he wanted to eat this Devil Fruit before, but after hearing that after eating the Devil Fruit, Lars would be disgusted by the sea and would not be able to swim from now on, so he gave up decisively.

"A good hunter must be able to go up the mountains and go down to the sea of fire, how can he lose his freedom for the sake of the Devil Fruit?"

That's what Lars said.

In desperation, Rogge plans to sell the Devil Fruit in exchange for the best and most powerful pirate ship.

The next day, it was close to noon.

The Coconut Pirate Ship, finally carrying three people, gradually approached the range of Rogue Town, Rogge knew that there were many naval garrisons here, especially the smoker Smog, not to mention a character to mess with, and did not want to cause trouble, so he quietly dropped anchor in a remote corner and quietly stepped on the land of Rogue Town.

The trio was so excited that after settling the boat, they walked into Rogue Town.

This legendary town of Rogue ......

This is the beginning of the great voyage, the place where all legends begin; This is also the place where One Piece Gore ยท The place where D. Roger was executed, the place where the legend of the previous generation ended.

It can be said that the entire town of Rogue is shrouded in a mysterious and magnificent legendary atmosphere, which is the place that all those who want to go to sea are extremely yearning for.

"Rhona, do you know what the fly in the ointment is?" Rogge asked with a chuckle.

"What's wrong, Rogge?"

"Although we have done a few big things, we have not been wanted by the navy and the world government until now, and even if we get to Rogue Town, we will not be captured, what a disappointment......

Lorna punched Rogge in the head and said angrily, "Isn't your idea too strange! Let's get the pirate ship safely and go out to sea safely! โ€

Rogge touched his head and smiled bitterly: "Okay......"

At this time, Lars had already run to the market, looking east and west, there were very novelties everywhere, and from time to time he picked up various goods to observe, revealing a look of infatuation.

Bang!

Rhona punched Lars in the head again: "What do you want to do!" If it's broken, you have to pay for it! Besides, what kind of cosmetics do you look at as a big man! โ€

"Huh? Was it used for makeup? Can I give it to Rhona then? Lars covered his head and whispered with a red face.

Rhona blinked, "Eh, huh?" I'm sorry you bought it for me, thank you, Lars......"

Lars grabbed one of them and stuffed it directly to Rhona.

The owner of the stall widened his eyes and opened his mouth wide.

"Hey, this little brother, you have to pay for it first!"

"Huh, really?" Lars touched his head, then turned back and asked Rhona embarrassedly, "What's the money?" โ€

Bang!

"So you're planning to rob it?!"

Rhona threw another punch to his head.

"It hurts so much......"

Luo Na reluctantly put on a big sister's style, shook her fingers and taught Lars: "Read more, read more newspapers, study hard and sleep less, understand?" โ€

Lars touched his head and said aggrievedly: "Even if you say so...... It doesn't happen overnight, ......."

Rona shook her head weakly, and suddenly at a glance, she found that there was a rather magnificent bookstore next to it, which not only covered a vast area and was decorated, but also had a simple and elegant beauty.

"Oh, there is a bookstore here, I'll take you to find a few books to read, so that you can understand the world and stop making big jokes and big trouble! You, you don't even recognize words, do you? โ€

Lars blushed: "The patriarch taught me to read and write, although I have almost forgotten it......"

Rhona rolled her eyes, grabbed his collar and headed for the bookstore.

Rogge shook his head helplessly, and could only follow in.

His plan was to sell his remaining Devil Fruit in Rogue Town first, but buy a ship with enough power to conquer the great voyages.

But unfortunately, Devil Fruits are extraordinary, and they can't be sold in ordinary shops, so you have to find a local in Rogue Town to find out.

He saw Rhona and Lars walk into the bookstore, and thought that maybe he could find out the news, so he followed suit.

This bookstore, called Shelley.

Rogge doesn't usually like to read, and after crossing into the world of sea thieves, it is impossible for him to have any thoughts about reading, and he can't cultivate a single thing......

However, as soon as he entered the Shelley bookstore, he found that the atmosphere here was very different from other bookstores, although there were few people reading books in it, but there was a sense of solemnity and elegance everywhere.

Even if he is a big man, he can't help but secretly admire and nod again and again.

"Ah, welcome to Shelley's bookstore, please read as much as you want, you're welcome......" The three of them walked to the store, and saw a girl wearing glasses, squinting and smiling at themselves sitting behind the desk on the side.

"Ahhh......h

"So...... Where do you start......" Rhona pinched her chin and thought, when she suddenly saw a few children reading picture books in a corner, and said excitedly, "Lars, follow me!" โ€

Lars' face flushed, and he was dragged by the collar by Rhona to the children's quarters.

Rogge touched his nose and thought that he still didn't want to join in the fun, so he walked up to the girl with glasses and asked in a low voice: "Hello, I'm a tourist from the East China Sea, do you have any interesting places to recommend in Rogge Town?" โ€

The girl seemed to be slightly taken aback when she saw someone talking to her, and she hurriedly pushed her eyes, still squinting and smiling, and said: "Rogue Town, there are many interesting places, such as the golden port leading to the world, Rogue Park in the center of the city...... Of course, the most famous place now is One Piece Gore ยท The central square where D. Roger was executed. โ€

"Oh, is it? Central Plaza...... Of course, that place must be visited......" Rogge's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Sir, you're a pirate, aren't you?" The bespectacled girl asked with a smile.

Burst!

Rogge squirted a mouthful of saliva: "Is it so easy to be exposed?!" โ€

The girl pushed her glasses, squinted and smiled, "You can see it from your expression......"

"Ahem......" Rogge pinched his throat and regained his composure.

"But you're really calm, little girl, aren't you afraid of pirates?" Rogge asked curiously, this bespectacled, amiable smile, but bookish (i.e., nerdy) girl, didn't look like the bold type......

"Well, pirates are nothing to be afraid of, in fact, if it weren't for my legs, I would have wanted to see the outside world!" The girl's smiling eyes suddenly revealed a bit of yearning.

Rogge was slightly stunned, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the girl, it turned out that she was not sitting in an ordinary seat, but a wheelchair, but she gently covered her legs with a blanket, and it was difficult to notice for a while.

"Really...... That's really ......," Rogge felt a little sympathetic in his heart.

Bang!

Suddenly, the door of the bookstore was violently kicked open, and the sound was terrifying, especially when everyone was immersed in this peaceful and quiet atmosphere of reading books, and the sudden popping sound made everyone scream in fright.

The girl's originally smiling expression suddenly changed to extreme horror, and the book she was holding in her hand fell, and she said in a trembling voice, "It's from Pansella's company...... Father, Father, here they are again! โ€
