"To deal with an enemy like El, they must plan for the long term!"
"The flames on El's body slowly dissipated, and the terrifying aura he exuded also subsided."
"Because the one minute had passed."
"He glanced at the surging seawater before him and sheathed his blade."
"After waiting for a few seconds, three dark figures emerged from the pit before them."
"'Pfft!!!' Roger surfaced, holding the unconscious Rayleigh and Gaban in his hands."
"It could be seen that Rayleigh and Gaban had severe burns, with some wounds deep enough to expose bone."
"Although Roger was not directly knocked unconscious by El's attack."
"He... also sustained significant injuries."
"'You win, Roger,' El said calmly."
"He had told Roger before the battle that if he could last a minute against him, then the victory would belong to Roger and the others. Now that a minute had passed."
"Roger was still alive and standing before him, so El acknowledged Roger's victory."
"'Hahaha... I won?' Roger laughed heartily upon hearing this."
"Although his strength was indeed inferior to El's, and even when teaming up with Rayleigh and Gaban."
"He was almost killed by El. However, Roger also clearly understood the gap in strength between himself and El."
"He did not delusionally believe he could defeat El."
"Now, to have achieved the agreed-upon victory with El, Roger was already very satisfied."
"'It's my honor to have fought you at the end of my life, El,' Roger said sincerely with a smile."
"Although he was not El's match, this exhilarating battle with El."
"Truly made him feel the passion for battle he once had."
"'I imagine there aren't many people in this world who can still smile when facing death.' In this world, almost no one is unafraid of death."
"And Roger, facing his end with such composure."
"This courage and spirit truly surprised El."
"'Regardless, my ultimate end is death, so why not make my final moments happy?' "
"'Roger...' Roger's impending death still touched El's heart."
"After all, he was from the same era as Roger."
"Now, Roger's legend was about to come to an end."
"Just then, Kong shouted at Roger."
"'Hey, Roger, your battle with El is over. The execution is about to begin!' 'The execution time has long passed, Roger. We've given you enough time. If you continue to resist execution, don't blame us for using force!' Zephyr also chimed in."
"Roger glanced at Kong and the others, then turned his gaze to El."
"'Then please look after these two for me, El, and ensure they leave Loguetown alive.' Rayleigh and Gaban were currently unconscious."
"If no one looked after them, it was feared that after Roger's execution."
"The Marines would also apprehend them."
"Although he had made an agreement with the Marines when he surrendered, asking them not to harm his crew."
"But... the Marines are ultimately the enemies of pirates, and cannot be fully trusted."
"'I can't do this for free, Roger,' El said with a slight smile."
"Roger instantly understood El's meaning and responded."
"'If they leave alive, you can ask them for four Devil Fruits as payment.' "
"'That sounds good,' El nodded."
"Taking the unconscious Rayleigh and Gaban out would be effortless for him."
"If he could get four Devil Fruits in return, this deal would be a sure profit for him."
"Roger glanced at the unconscious Rayleigh and Gaban, sighed, and then walked towards the Marines."
"Although he was reluctant to leave his former companions, he now had to face his own death."
"'Continue the execution!!!' Kong shouted."
"As his voice fell, two more executioners quickly ran over from a distance."
"And Roger was re-handcuffed."
"Just then, a man from afar shouted."
"'Hey, Pirate King, where did you stash your treasure? You found that legendary treasure, right? The one that connects all the treasure!!!' "
"'Hmm???' Hearing this voice, El looked towards the man with surprise."
"Logically speaking, due to his existence, this world had already experienced too many butterfly effects."
"Many events had already deviated significantly from the original story."
"Why, before Roger's execution, just like in the original story, someone was asking about the One Piece?"
"Roger was also stunned, then laughed heartily."
"'Hahaha... You want my treasure? Take it all if you want! Go find it, I've put all my treasure there!!!' As his voice fell, the entire crowd in Loguetown erupted in an uproar."
"'The legendary One Piece? Interesting,' Earl Red said with a sinister smile."
"'Heeheehee... Does that legendary treasure really exist? Roger really dropped a bombshell before his death,' Moria cackled."
"'If this news spreads, I believe the number of pirates on this sea will swell again,' Doflamingo said with interest."
"'The One Piece? I didn't expect that legendary thing to have actually been found by Roger!' Dragon stared at Roger on the platform with surprise."
"And Kong, hearing Roger say such a thing, quickly shouted, 'Execute!!!' "
"Hearing Kong's order."
"The two executioners showed no hesitation and immediately plunged their swords into Roger's body."
"With Roger's strength, these blades would be a fantasy to harm him."
"But towards the incoming blades, Roger neither defended nor used Armament Haki."
"Instead, he faced his death with a smile, accepting it calmly."
"'Pfft!!!' With the sound of blood spraying, Roger's heart was pierced by the sword."
"And Roger's life force rapidly dissipated in a very short time!!!"
"Thus, the Pirate King Roger died!!!"
"After executing Roger, the eyes of all the Marines turned to El."
"Roger, the man who had been a headache for the Marines, was dead."
"But... El, the man who was a headache for the entire world, was still alive."
"However, even though Roger was dead now."
"They still had no intention of making a move against El at this moment."
"After all, although El and Roger had engaged in an extremely top-tier battle."
"By the end of the fight, there wasn't a single trace of injury on El."
"The current El, was almost..."
"If they were to attack."
"Although... they were confident they could capture El, they would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses!"
"Moreover, besides El, there were other great pirates present!"
"If they were to attack El, other great pirates would surely join in!"
"'After Roger dies, you're next, El!!!' Kong said coldly, his expression grim."
"'We will not allow you to live on this sea for much longer. Soon, we will take your life and send you to hell along with Roger!' "
"'Just wait, El. It won't be long before your death date arrives!!!' Although the Marines didn't plan to make a move against El in Loguetown today."
