The second section visits the prison, Roger's last request before his death!
Rog town is an island located near the entrance of the Great Route, belonging to Donghai.
Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, was born here and also executed here after returning from the Grand Line.
At this time, Shanks was walking in Rogue Town, thinking to himself: "In the year 1498 of the Sea Circle Calendar, one year after Roger Pirates disbanded, Gol D. Roger surrendered to the World Government and was arrested. Later, through a global broadcast, Roger was executed in Logue Town, East Blue, marking the beginning of the Great Pirate Era. Hehe, is a new era finally about to begin?"
"Hey, mister, slow down!" Baqi shouted from behind, following closely with Shao Bao.
"Since you want to take a stroll around this town, I'll approve it. I'm going to the naval base here, see you at the execution ground this afternoon." Shao Bao said as he stopped in his tracks.
"Oh yeah! Thank you, sir! You're really too kind!" Bakki jumped up three feet high.
Luogang Town has wide streets, lined with five- or six-story buildings made of stone and brick. The streets are crowded with throngs of people, and the town is full of vitality.
The first floor of the entire town is an arcade of shops with scales, and the shelves are filled with all kinds of goods.
Most of these shops have been taken over by the Rainbow Guild of Shinbō. Especially that weapon shop which was later sold to Sorokai, and that fish store which sells elephant tuna.
Shen Bao was very understanding of Ba Qi's curiosity about this place, so he let him make a fuss. He came to the naval barracks on the top floor, reported after arrival, and immediately brought the local naval garrison commander Colonel Spolan to greet him in person.
Although Shen Bao was demoted to the East China Sea for releasing Whitebeard, his reputation grew with each passing day, and his name spread far and wide across the four seas. The fish-man pirate army that could rival Whitebeard, the undefeated military god who had won a thousand battles in ten years, were just some of the versions closest to the truth in the circulating stories.
"I have long admired the great name of Fisherman Zhong, and Poland pays its respects to you!" Colonel Spoland was a white-haired old soldier, who, upon seeing Xianbao in casual attire, immediately saluted him with a military salute.
"Haha, Colonel Sboran, please don't call me Major General anymore, I'm just a Lieutenant Colonel now." Xianbao burst out laughing.
"Where, where! General Jinbao will forever be the general in the hearts of our grassroots naval officers! With your strength, how can you be relegated to a small East China Sea in the future!" Colonel Sibor said with utmost sincerity.
"Thank you, thank you. This time I came, actually worried about Roger's execution. Can I go to the prison to take a look at Roger?" Xinbao waved his hand. He didn't think that his image would be so good and respected even in the lower ranks of the navy, after all he still didn't understand people's admiration for the strong in this era where the weak are preyed upon by the strong.
"This is naturally alright! I admire your sentiments, sir. In fact, please be assured that the Navy Headquarters has already made arrangements. On the surface, it appears that only I am stationed in Rog Town, but in reality, a strong team from HQ has been deployed and is lying in ambush around the island to prevent any unexpected incidents!"
"Is that so! Then I can rest assured. Take me to see Roger."
"It's an honor for me, sir!"
Shen Bao followed Spoland to a special dungeon, in a "luxurious" cell that was anything but, where a king lay half-reclined with his eyes closed.
The current Pirate King, Roger.
"Open the prison gate, I'll go and have a word with him." Shao Bao ordered.
"This..." Colonel Spolan hesitated for a moment before finally opening the 5 large lock heads one by one.
"Ah, you've arrived, Fishman boy!" Roger exclaimed with his eyes closed, yet somehow accurately identifying Shingo's identity. He was half-reclining on the execution rack, his entire body covered in wounds, blood and flesh blurred together, with some areas even exposing white bone. On his left side stood a branding iron furnace, its long iron plate stained black with blood. At his feet lay a dismembered finger from the gallows.
Other instruments of torture were even more bizarre and heinous, so much so that it's hard to put a name to them, but every single one was stained with blood and flesh. It's clear that the government had not given up on extracting secrets from Rogelio's mouth before his death.
However, they miscalculated. The current Luo Ge has a calm face, even if he is down on his luck, even if he is in a desperate situation, but it makes him show off his fearless and heroic demeanor even more, and even Shen Bao couldn't help but secretly admire him.
A legendary figure in the world of Liu, Roger is also one.
"Well, since you're here, would you mind doing me another favor?" Roger said, still in his usual blunt tone.
"What about the pay?" Shen Bao was still as calm as ever.
"Haha." Roger smiled lightly, his eyes opening slightly, clearly exhausted from the torture. "I know you have the ability of the prophecy fruit, please don't interfere with my plan. As a return favor, there are some equipment of mine in the basement of Rose Bar. Please make sure to let me owe you this favor before I die!"
Facing the misunderstanding of the Pirate King, Shino suddenly felt a strong urge to explain everything. However, he ultimately let out a sigh and said: "No, this doesn't count as a favor, just consider it my way of paying respects with my life. As for Baki, I will cultivate him into a renowned figure, so rest assured."
"Thank... thank..." Roger said with great effort, and then closed his eyes again.
Shen Bao was silent for a long time, finally under Colonel Spolan's gaze of adoration that had reached an unprecedented level...
Turned around and left.
Can't bear to look anymore.
