Chapter 006: Roger, Your Son Called Someone Else "Dad," Did You Know That?
A whole family all together?
Roger muttered these four words in a daze, his teary eyes looking at Liu Feng.
Although this suggestion sounded quite tempting, he felt something was not quite right.
Perhaps Liu Feng's slightly curled lips and his half-narrowed, fox-like eyes had successfully betrayed him.
Roger suddenly gritted his teeth and said:
"You stinking brat, you're not hiding anything else, are you!?"
One hand grabbed Liu Feng by the collar, putting on a fierce appearance.
From the earlier scenes at the execution platform to intercepting the Marine pursuit, Roger knew that this damn brat's mind was truly ruthless.
This guy looked fearless and acted casually, but in reality, everything he did was full of calculation and clearly well-thought-out.
After resurrecting him, he almost cleared the field without hesitation, taking the weakened Roger away from Loguetown, a place covered by the Marine intelligence network.
Facing the Marine pursuit, he decisively sank the opponent's warship to avoid leaking their tracks.
Roger knew deeply just how much risk Liu Feng had shouldered by choosing to resurrect him at this time.
He wasn't clear about what kind of situation the Grand Line was in now that more than twenty years had passed.
But as the Pirate King, once he reappeared on this sea, it would inevitably mean all sorts of disputes.
Especially the Marine Headquarters and the World Government, who regarded him as a mortal enemy, would pursue him and Liu Feng relentlessly.
Otherwise, that public execution that shocked the world twenty-two years ago would have been meaningless.
The Pirate King had to die at the hands of the Marines; ultimate evil had to be ended by absolute justice. That was the "best" ending.
But now, reappearing in the eyes of the world was equivalent to giving the Justice of the World Government and the Marines, who had ruled the world for eight hundred years, a resounding slap in the face!
By taking him along, Liu Feng would inevitably face all kinds of dangers!
Yet he showed no fear or timidity at all; instead, he looked eager to try.
If it weren't for such a meticulous mind, resolute style of action, and free-spirited attitude, Roger probably wouldn't have foolishly set off with him; they would have parted ways long ago.
"No need to rush."
Liu Feng shrugged casually and raised his hand to knock away the hand Roger used to grab his collar.
"Too many things happened in twenty-two years; let me explain them to you slowly."
"But before that, I advise you to smoke a cigarette and calm down first, otherwise I'm afraid you'll hit me."
He said with a faint smile, then handed Roger another cigarette.
These things filled the cabins of the warship, almost the most stored item besides alcohol, meat, and gunpowder.
It seems that no matter which world it is, smoking is a good way to relieve stress.
Roger looked at the cigarette Liu Feng handed him, shook his head, then quickly trotted into the cabin. In the blink of an eye, he ran back carrying a jug of wine.
He plopped down on the deck, unscrewed the jug, and threw his head back to chug it.
Clearly drinking to drown his sorrows.
Liu Feng laughed inwardly.
Pirate King Roger was truly just as the rumors said, a super big goofball.
But to be honest, resurrection, his son's death—this series of news was undoubtedly like heavy bombs dropping one after another. Even for someone with nerves of steel like Roger, it would be hard to accept for a while.
As the strong liquor entered his stomach, a flush appeared on Roger's face, and he asked grumpily:
"Speak, the current me can accept any bad news!"
The moment he finished speaking, he threw his head back and drank again.
Liu Feng puffed out a cloud of smoke and said slowly:
"How much can you accept about your son calling someone else 'Dad'?"
"—Pfft!"
Liquor sprayed out, covering Liu Feng's face.
Liu Feng wiped the liquor off his face expressionlessly, only to feel his vision blur as Roger's figure appeared in front of him.
A pair of bloodshot eyes stared at him fixedly, as if wanting to swallow him alive.
"What are you talking about, you bastard brat!?"
A hoarse voice burst out from between Roger's clenched teeth.
At this moment, Liu Feng seemed to see a thick green light emanating from the top of the Pirate King's head.
He smiled and said:
"You didn't hear wrong. Your son, Ace, called someone else 'Dad,' not you."
Roger froze.
Then suddenly, he heavily smashed the wine jug in his hand onto the deck with a crash and roared at the sky:
"Fuck your grandma, Garp! You dare cuckold me!?"
"I'm going to fight you to the death!!"
"Back then, I trusted you and entrusted my wife and son to you!"
"You really took 'good care' of them!!"
He gritted his teeth, veins popping on his forehead.
"Wait!!"
The uncle raging impotently suddenly seemed to realize something and whipped his head around.
"What did you say just now? The whole family all together?"
"My wife is dead too!?"
Liu Feng covered his head, black lines all over his forehead.
This reflex arc is way too long.
Network latency 460, huh.
Oh god, how did this goofball manage to become the Pirate King?
Something so many ambitious conspirators failed to do was accomplished by this iron-headed idiot!?
Liu Feng felt that Shiki and that group of people were going to cry themselves unconscious in the toilets of Impel Down.
He sighed deeply.
"That's right."
"But rest assured, the person Ace called Dad wasn't Garp, it was Whitebeard."
Roger was stunned.
Then he roared at the sky in fury again.
"Fuck your grandma, Whitebeard!! You dare cuckold me!?"
"I'm going to fight you to the death!!"
