Volume 2 The Flame of Youth Chapter 57 A short story

Rogge Town and Gunship Island, as well as the entrance of the Upside Down Mountain, just show a triangular relationship, Lasis and his gang went out to sea from Gunship Island in the evening, nothing happened worth caring about, bumpy all the way to the northwest, and finally arrived at the destination in the early morning of the next day, got on the dock, stood at the entrance of the town, looked at the wooden sign engraved with "Loguetown" on the top of his head, Lasis who was full of thoughts, seemed to murmur with emotion: "This is the place of reincarnation of the beginning and the end, she personally gave birth to and nurtured the childhood of a generation of masters, In the end, he was buried with his own hands. ”

"Aren't you going?" Turning his head, the undying Lasis repeated the same old tune again.

"Don't go!"

Hooking Ace's neck, Lasis whispered in his ear: "Anyway, it's your father, the bones have turned to ashes, there's no need to be so dead-eyed, right?" ”

"Don't go!" It's still an answer that makes Lasis sore eggs.

"Uh."

Lasis gave up, and originally wanted to pull him together to form a team and go to the execution table where One Piece finally died. From a biological point of view, coupled with rigorous theory, Ace's actual age should be two years older than Lacis, but at that time, because of the navy's carpet search, standing behind Ace, an equally great mother, forced to hold it in the stomach for two years before releasing it, in exchange for more than ten years of peace, at the cost of his own life, in Ace's uncomplicated logic, it was his irresponsible father who indirectly killed his mother, Ace, who became paranoid, abandoned the surname "Gore" in disgust and used "Boskat" with his mother, who was supposed to be called "Gore D. Ace".

Fortunately, Luo Zeng from Beihai passed through here, and played the role of a guide, and roughly explained the map of the town posted on the notice board, Rogue Town is very large, with considerable cultural heritage, if you don't know that this place is directly under the jurisdiction of the navy, it is a bit of a big city charm that only the country will have, because it is early in the morning, there are not too many pedestrians on the road, and the rumored crowds are far from the rumored voices, extremely quiet, the only thing that breaks this harmony and silence is the slippers on Lacis's feet, and the "snap" made when he comes into contact with the blue and white stone road from time to time"The sound disturbs people's dreams.

"You can go back to the execution table later, and until then, the most important thing is to know the schedule for the rest of the day, it's not good to miss the train, and we still have breakfast to solve." Evita, who is becoming more and more housekeeper, directly arranged the next thing to do, the train she said is the "Central Hub" near the Red Earth Continent, as we all know, this world is divided into 4 equal parts by the intersection of the Red Earth Continent and the Great Route, that is, the four seas themselves, these four seas themselves do not want to communicate with each other, in addition to the unconventional way, the rest is only in the Central Hub to take the Red Clay Train, maybe related to ancient civilizations, I don't know when and who used what technology, around the upside-down mountain, Several tunnels were opened inside the Red Earth Continent to connect the four seas, and the train roared and galloped in the dark, sounding like the subway facilities of the previous life, a few years ago, the sea train funded by the Capital of Seven Waters, its prototype was also from it, here as one of the most important facilities in the world, the World Government's defense circle began to be established several miles away, at the border pass, the identity of each passenger was repeatedly verified, and the pick-up and drop-off will be arranged after confirmation, going back and forth between the border pass and the Red Earth Continent, Luo also came to the East China Sea in this way.

"If you're looking for a place to fill your stomach, I know a place, but it's a humble shop, it's very remote, it's a bit too shabby for a bar, but the owner is good, and the name of the store is also very interesting." Luo, who was walking behind, opened his mouth to propose.

"Oh? What's it called? Lasis asked curiously.

Luo sold a pass and said with a smile: "You'll know when you go." ”

The bar Luo mentioned was in the back streets of the town, which was usually a gathering place for riffretons and thugs, and the passing pirates also liked to come and go here, and the dark and damp remote environment was more in line with their theme. Walking through the small steps of the winding alley, a group of people came to the small bar that Luo said, the dilapidated signboard hanging at the door was swayed back and forth by the wind through the hall, and from time to time there was a "gala gala" sound, which inexplicably brought a sense of desolation, Lasis and Ace who walked in front were obviously stunned, "BAR, GOLDROGER", there is also a skeleton on the wooden sign, you can see at a glance that this bar is dedicated to entertaining pirates, and it seems to have something to do with Ace's father.

Lasis pointed to the sign above his head and asked, "This can't be your property, right?" ”

"Fart!" Ace cursed Evita's mantra in a rare way.

It is in the basement, you still need to walk up a down staircase to reach, on the wall in the corridor, the wanted notice is densely pasted, Lasis tore off the "black gold" worth 270 million, fortunately in the early morning, otherwise this action is enough to cause a sensation, on the sea, only if it is confirmed that it was arrested by the navy or is dead, it can be torn off, a tragic story of a popular "supernova", I believe there is no more eyeballs to attract gossip than this.

Pushing the door open, a huge skull on the table caught Lacis's attention, a short, shriveled old man sitting alone and pouring a small drink, and there was no second person in the whole tavern.

"Is it the boss?" It was almost as imagined, very shabby, and Lasis, who had stepped into his slippers, looked around and asked casually.

Judging from the dress, the old man is quite trendy, not only wearing a plush hat similar to Luo, but also a pair of small round sunglasses that Lacis once wore on the bridge of his nose, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it didn't quite fit the first feeling, "Get out!" This isn't for kids like you! ”

Lacis, who was scolded inexplicably, was not in a good temper either, and turned his head and asked, "Can I kill him?" ”

Evita said angrily: "If you are not afraid of the life you have planned for yourself, if you are affected by the Navy wanted because of an indifferent murder, you can do it yourself." ”

"Forget it." Law stepped forward at the right time.

As soon as he saw Luo, the atmosphere that he thought would ease down became even more tense, and the old man said categorically: "I have said countless times, this skull will not be sold to you!" ”

Luo, who is a doctor, tried to buy the collection months ago.

Lassis sighed: "Anyway, this skull is really big, and when you are alive, you must at least be 6 or 7 meters tall, right?" ”

"This is the final fate of a guy called the 'Giant Slayer', who killed hundreds of pirates!" The old man showed a kind of pride from the bottom of his heart, and smiled: "However, Roger sent him to the western sky with only one move, it is just lightning, this guy is a guy with a big knife and monster-like brute strength, but the victory and defeat are divided in an instant." ”

In order to make this story, which has been told hundreds of times, fuller and more vivid, the shriveled old man gradually danced with his hands, and the old man pointed to the large gap in the forehead of the skull, and said in a verifying manner: "This is the wound left at that time, but after all, this guy was also a person who was notorious for evil, and he said this before he died, 'Roger, I want to salute you, you are a pirate forever!'" ’”

"I'll rely on ......," Lacis wondered, "The 'Giant Killer' I know, the one who is famous for hunting giants often, but I really don't know if it was made by Roger, and sure enough, it's still a mountain and a mountain high." ”

Probably because of Lasis's unintentional emotion, the old man felt that the scarface sitting at the bar in front of him might also be a loyal fan of Roger, and the old man continued: "Erikdown, known as the 'King', the world's No. 1 fast gunner, Siruba, and the 'Great Evil' Kaenz brothers, they are all terrifying fierce men like ghosts and gods, but they are like babies in front of Roger. ”

The old man poured himself another glass of wine, shook the wine glass in his hand, and said nostalgically: "In Roger's time, no, it is the same now, he is the only man who is not afraid of the 'Great Voyage', at that time, it was an unknown sea where none of the engulfed ships could come back, and people were very afraid, it was the Demon Sea that few people dared to approach. ”

"Indeed." Evita, who was sitting at another table, agreed, "Relying on the pioneers of Roger's generation, there are 'record pointers' and so on that are researched later, which more or less reduces the difficulty of that sea area for those who come after him, and in this regard, Roger is not so much a pirate as an adventurer who opens up unknown territories." ”

"Roger, the night before he set sail, he drank all the wine here, and the next morning he set off as if nothing happened, and soon after, when I heard that he had conquered the Great Voyage, I was more happy than surprised that I forgot how old I was, and I was really excited, but all this will be in the past, Roger died on the execution table 19 years ago, and from that day on, as long as everyone who had a little confidence in himself ran away to become pirates, the era of pirates began." The old man sighed and continued, "But so what? The only thing that would come to this place today for a drink is a bunch of useless waste, how long has it not been? Starting from Rogue Town, there will be no one to challenge the Hulai guy in the Demon Sea, and no one will surpass Roger......"

"Roger? That man is nothing more than an irresponsible fellow! Ace finally couldn't bear it anymore, and threw down a sentence and broke out of the door.

"Don't you chase?" Pointing to the door, Law asked.

"It's just a rebellious kid in adolescence who is making trouble, after all, he is only 17 years old this year, and he is just an adult in the East China Sea, and I am not a guardian, we all have our own paths to take." Lacis, who said this, obviously forgot that his biological age was only 17 years old, turned his head, and looked at the old man who was trembling with anger, Lasis said slowly: "Don't be angry, you're a lot older, it's not good to be angry, besides, the freckled face Lao Tzu just now also died in Roger's hands, you should understand his anger, then again, what's delicious here?" Hungry. ”

Lasis casually told a lie, and dispelled the cracks in it lightly, Luo Si thought: is also the successor of "D", in terms of ability, there may be little difference between Lasis and Ace, but in terms of heart, it is obvious that Lasis is a few points higher, but if you really talk about it, I really like Ace more, this thin tiger is too dangerous, and it makes people wonder.
