King Arthur, Apprentice of Roger’s Company Chapter 044

Reverse Mountain!

This was the first entrance to the Grand Line. Ships converging from the Four Seas all had to pass through Reverse Mountain to enter the Grand Line.

And!

For the Roger Pirates, to be honest, for a pirate crew that didn’t like to simply stay in the New World but preferred to wander all over the world, Arthur wasn’t surprised by Reverse Mountain.

One could even say…

Hmm~~~

And for the Roger Pirates, crossing Reverse Mountain was not a difficult task at all, even exceptionally easy.

Whoosh~~~

Whoosh~~~

Looking at the逆流 (upstream) waterfall, Arthur was very calm, just quietly contemplating, secretly thinking; “If the timing is correct, the Battle of Edd War is about to break out…”

Arthur was considering many things in his mind, and also contemplating some matters, after all! The Roger Pirates’ curtain call was already a foregone conclusion with this voyage, so! How should he proceed in the future?

These!

All needed careful consideration.

“Arthur kid!”

“What are you thinking about?”

Roger walked over, looking at Arthur in a carefree manner.

Arthur looked up and said calmly: “I’m just thinking, Captain Roger, with your death and the disbandment of the Roger Pirates, what will I do in the future?”

“…”

Hearing Arthur’s words, everyone turned their heads in surprise, looking at Arthur in astonishment, seemingly not expecting Arthur to say such words, which naturally included Barrett.

“Hahahaha~~~”

Roger showed no anger, instead laughing heartily: “Arthur, why do you think that way? Is there no one who can inherit the position of captain of the Roger Pirates?”

Arthur shook his head and said: “Captain Roger, besides you, no one can make everyone willingly follow. That is your personal charm.”

“Tsk!”

Roger pouted and said: “Brat! But you’re thinking a bit too early! No matter what, my body can last for a few more years without any problem!”

Arthur smiled, not saying anything more. Roger didn’t mind, and at this moment, they had already rushed out of Reverse Mountain and entered the Grand Line.

“Arthur?”

“Arthur?”

Shanks and Buggy both ran over, seemingly wanting to say something, while Arthur smiled and said: “This is the true future, you need to consider more things.”

After speaking!

Arthur walked to the side, while Shanks and Buggy, after some thought, silently shook their heads. They were still a bit confused, after all! They were still a bit young, only 11 years old.

The Roger Pirates were preparing to leave Reverse Mountain, but! As they gradually moved further away, a different situation seemed to emerge.

“Roger, are you ready?”

“Mm!”

“I plan to invite that person onto the ship. With my current body, besides that person, I’m afraid no one can help me stabilize my body.”

“Good!”

Roger and Rayleigh conversed with each other, both smiling. They didn’t really care about the others anymore, and what they cared about most were those four little fellows, for the two of them.

As the Roger Pirates disbanded, everyone else would have their own destinations, but what about those four little fellows? These were the children who caused the most worry and were most valued!

Precisely because of this!

Just like Arthur, truly understanding and considering how to handle the future, this was what they valued most.

And Roger also believed that with Arthur, that little rascal, the others would gradually understand all of this.

Oro Jackson!

Gradually moved towards the Twin Capes, not far from Reverse Mountain, and at the Twin Capes, there was a different person there.

Crocus!

This was a doctor almost unknown to others, but! Anyone who knew Crocus knew how terrifying Crocus’s medical skills were. To call him the world’s best? That was a medical skill that was not an exaggeration at all!

And!

The Roger Pirates’ repeated voyages between the Four Seas and the Grand Line, over time, naturally led them to gradually get to know Crocus.

…

“Hmm?!”

Crocus looked at Roger and shook his head, saying: “Roger, with your body, you might as well just wait to die. If you rest well, maybe you can live for about ten more years, but if you continue sailing, you’ll die in three to five years.”

His hairstyle resembled a saffron flower, and Crocus’s hair was still black at the moment. Although he was a doctor, his physical fitness looked like that of a warrior, which was not surprising. On this sea, if you didn’t have some strength, you would surely die.

“Hahahaha~~~”

“Crocus!”

Roger laughed heartily: “You know it too! It’s impossible for me to rest well! That’s why I came to you. I hope you can be the ship’s doctor and help me regulate my body so I can complete this final voyage.”

“The final voyage…”

Crocus looked at Roger. After all these years! The two of them could certainly be considered friends.

“Never mind!”

“Never mind!”

Crocus shook his head and said: “Coincidentally, I also want to look for the traces of the Rumbar Pirates from back then, so I’ll just go with you and see.”

“Hahahaha~~~”

Roger laughed heartily and freely, as if he had already guessed Crocus’s choice.

In reality!

Crocus’s choice was really not surprising. He was Roger’s friend, and naturally hoped to accompany Roger on this final journey. At the same time! He indeed wanted to go to the Grand Line to search for the traces of the Rumbar Pirates.

However…

These were all just excuses. For Crocus, his willingness to accept the invitation was simply because he and Roger were friends and he was willing to help Roger complete this final journey.
