"It's unfortunate, but he is in his prime condition, extremely suitable for battle, and there will be no problems!" Crocus said with a smile, picking up a weapon.
Hearing this, Buggy was instantly filled with despair.
He then saw Rayleigh beside him and rushed over, shouting, "Mr. Rayleigh!"
But at this moment, Gaban grabbed Buggy by the hair and said with a smile.
"Give up, Buggy. You've been on the ship for a while now. You should know very well that no one can change what Roger decides. This war is unavoidable!"
Although Gaban also did not want to fight the many strong individuals under the Golden Lion Pirates.
But... there was no turning back now. The only option left for them was to fight!
"How could this be!!!"
Buggy cried.
Although, in the future, Buggy would become an Emperor in the New World.
However, at this moment, he was still just a boy, timid and fearful, only wanting to find treasure and such.
"You have to trust this ship, the Oro Jackson. Roger doesn't have much time left. We shouldn't have any other opinions about what he wants to do, after all, he is our captain!" Rayleigh reminded them.
Roger's incurable disease, although delayed by Crocus's superb medical skills.
However, an incurable disease is still an incurable disease, and it cannot be cured!
Given time, Roger would still die from the incurable disease!
...
Shiki, standing in mid-air, did not immediately launch an attack despite Roger's refusal.
Instead, he continued to speak.
"How many times have I told you, Roger? Although we had many grievances when we were young, let's put them aside now!!!"
"As long as you have the world-destroying weapon you know of, combined with my military might, and the plan I've spent many years constructing."
"Neither El nor even the World Government will be able to stop us!"
"Become my right-hand man, Roger, this world will be ours!" the Golden Lion shouted, pointing at Roger.
Because Rocks had dispatched El and Charlotte Linlin to recruit Roger.
This gave Shiki considerable interest in Roger.
Therefore, he had secretly tried to recruit Roger, but Roger had refused at that time.
There had been several conflicts between the two.
Even after the God Valley incident, Shiki still had designs on Roger.
While seizing territory in the New World, Shiki had also clashed with Roger!
However, Shiki now chose to forget past grievances. He only wanted to recruit Roger now.
After all, the Roger Pirates possessed immense combat power.
Furthermore, according to his investigation, the Roger Pirates might know.
Where the world-destroying weapon was located!
"I've already made myself clear, Shiki. I'm not interested in ruling. If becoming a pirate isn't about doing what you love, then what's the point of being a pirate?"
"No matter how much pressure you put on me, my choice remains the same. I refuse your recruitment, Shiki!!!"
Roger stood at the bow of the ship, looking directly at the Golden Lion Pirates, refusing without hesitation.
He knew that he didn't have much time left to live.
What he wanted now was to collect Poneglyphs from all over the world and understand the truth of the world.
Beyond that, he had no interest in conquest or ruling.
Although, in the end, El did not succeed in pacifying Shiki.
This resulted in them needing to face the entire Flying Pirates.
However, Roger was still fearless.
Since the Golden Lion Pirates wanted to fight, then let's fight!
"Roger, your words disappoint me. Are you determined to make me take action against you?" Shiki sighed.
"Then let's go, Shiki!!!"
Roger drew the supreme grade blade Ace from his waist without fear and grinned.
"You will lose, Roger!"
Shiki shook his head slightly.
As Shiki's words fell.
A voice echoed from the dark clouds in the sky.
"Why waste so much time talking, Shiki? Since he refused, why not just destroy him."
As everyone's gaze turned towards the sky.
A colossal figure rushed out from the dark clouds in the sky.
His body was blue and white, his physique immense, and he rode the clouds.
He possessed sharp claws and a pair of terrifying dragon horns.
He was none other than Kaido of the Beasts!
And standing on Kaido's head were two people: King and Queen!
The timeline was still early, so Jack had not yet joined the Beast Pirates.
Currently, these two were the only ones among the Three Disasters of the Beast Pirates!
"Ka... Kaido!!!"
Seeing Kaido appear, Buggy instantly collapsed to the ground in fear.
The Flying Pirates led by Shiki alone could pose a significant threat to them.
Now, another great pirate of the New World, Kaido of the Beasts, had also appeared!
Even if their Roger Pirates were strong, it would be difficult to handle two great pirates working together.
Not to mention the thousands of pirates under the Golden Lion, plus the two dangerous figures, King and Queen!
"Have you allied with that guy Kaido, Shiki!"
Seeing Kaido appear, even the calm Roger couldn't help but frown, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.
If it were just about dealing with the Flying Pirates, he certainly wouldn't be afraid.
But if Kaido, along with Queen and King, were added to the mix.
Then the chances of winning this battle would be uncertain!
"Currently, the strongest pirate in the entire New World is El!"
"And El has a connection with Edward and you. In this situation, if I don't find some allies, we might be the ones to be wiped out in the future!" Shiki said calmly.
Even the usually arrogant Golden Lion admitted that El was currently the strongest pirate in the New World.
At the same time, he also knew that if he didn't find allies, not only would he definitely not become the world ruler in the future.
But he also risked being wiped out!
Shiki's eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Roger, don't blame us for ganging up on you. After all... you refused my invitation."
"Once you are destroyed by us, even if that guy El and Edward join forces later, we will still have a place in this sea!" Kaido said, staring at Roger sternly.
...
The many pirates of Captain Roger's crew.
Seeing the killing intent in the eyes of Shiki and Kaido, they instantly panicked.
"Cap... Captain Roger, why don't we just comply with this guy Shiki's wishes for now and become his allies? We can always go back on our word later."
"Yes, Captain Roger, if we fight them, we will undoubtedly lose. Why don't we comply with their wishes for now!"
"Without El's help, we are definitely no match for them. Compared to dignity, life is the most important thing, Captain Roger!"
If the opponent had only been the Flying Pirates led by Shiki, they wouldn't have been so afraid.
But now with Kaido's addition, they, like Buggy earlier, began to persuade Roger.
"If that monster El could come, it would be great. Even facing these two great pirates, we... wouldn't lose," Shanks said helplessly, adjusting his straw hat.
Shanks had witnessed El's strength.
Such terrifying combat power was no less than that of a figure like Roger!
If she appeared, even if the Golden Lion and Kaido joined forces, what of it?
"Damn it, why isn't that bastard El coming yet? He clearly owes Captain Roger a favor," Buggy cried, slumped on the deck.
"Alright, you guys. The battle is unavoidable. Prepare to fight, we might not lose!" Gaban said, looking back at them and reminding them.
Although he said this, his heart was also filled with apprehension.
As Buggy and Shanks said, if El didn't come, they were definitely going to lose!
"Come on, Shiki, Kaido!!!"
Roger, standing at the bow of the ship, holding the supreme grade blade Ace, roared at Shiki and Kaido.
"Attack!!!"
Kaido gave the order and was about to charge at Roger.
At the same time, Shiki drew the two blades at his waist, preparing to engage in battle with the Roger Pirates.
