“Roger!!!” After coming to his senses, Cap roared and prepared to pounce over here.

At this moment, Claudius quickly said, “Lieutenant General Garp, if you don’t mind, come over and have a couple of drinks?”

After hearing what Claudius said, Garp calmed down a little, and then Roger quickly said, “It’s been a long time since we last met, why don’t you have a drink with me first?”

Although he had a hundred puzzles in his heart as to why the Celestial Dragons could sit and drink with the Pirate King so happily, Garp finally suppressed the thoughts in his mind, took a deep breath, picked up a bottle of wine from the wall, walked to Claudius with a gloomy face, and sat down.

“Why did you come to this godforsaken place?” Claudius asked curiously.

Garp scratched his head, then slapped the black wallet in his pocket on the table and said, “Isn’t this what you asked me to do? This is the wallet you made with your swamp fruit. Keep it.”

Claudius’ eyes lit up, he smiled, took the wallet in his hand, fiddled with it, but did not study it and quickly put it away.

At this time, Garp also said very unhappily: “Back when we were in Marineford, I told you not to hide any news from me. As a result, you CP-X actually found this bastard. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? What’s even more incredible to me is… Why are you sitting here drinking with him? Don’t you know who he is?”

“Hahaha…” Claudius laughed awkwardly. It was really embarrassing to be caught by Garp suddenly. Then Claudius said, “Aren’t I here to catch him? I don’t think I need to trouble you so much…”

“Catch him? Even though he is drinking with you here, it will be extremely difficult for you to catch him. Did you put some drugs in the wine?” Karp asked, looking at the wine glass with some suspicion.

“I have decided to surrender to Claudius, Garp.” Roger suddenly said.

This time, Cap was really stunned. He then looked at Claudius and asked, “What kind of wine did you give him? He got him so drunk? He’s going to turn himself in?”

Claudius looked at Garp, the troublemaker, helplessly and said, “Roger has a terminal illness and won’t live long…

As soon as he finished speaking, Garp looked at Roger in disbelief, then his eyes seemed to become somewhat lonely and sad, and he murmured softly: “So that’s it… Are you dying?”

“If I’m caught by you, won’t I be dead too? Why are you suddenly sad? It’s disgusting.” Roger said bluntly.

Hearing this, Garp also suppressed his emotions, nodded and said, “Yes, it would be better if you, a bastard who has committed such a heinous crime, died. This would make the world more peaceful. This is a good thing. Why should I be sad?”

Then Garp and Roger had a chat. After knowing that Roger would turn himself in, Garp was not in a hurry to catch him. It was as if Roger thought Garp was trustworthy and felt that Roger would not lie about such things.

Claudius lit a cigar and leaned back in his chair, watching these two enemies who had been fighting for most of their lives drinking and chatting here. He always had a sense of wonder. If he had not come to this world, he would probably not have seen such an interesting scene, right?

The three of them sat in the tavern from dawn to dusk before they walked out of the tavern together. Roger waved to Garp and Claudius, and then prepared to go home.

Claudius was going to take Cap back to the ship to stay. After all, this guy came all the way to bring him things, so he should at least thank him.

The two walked side by side on this country road. Garp suddenly smiled and said with great emotion: “I can’t believe… Roger, that bastard, actually found his lover on this island, got married… and even has a child?”

“Don’t you think you shouldn’t have come?” Claudius smiled and asked.

As soon as Garp arrived, he was fooled by Roger and agreed to help him take care of Luju for a while until Luju gave birth to his child. Then the child would be handed over to Claudius to take care of. Maybe after the World Government’s strict investigation is over, he would consider letting the mother and child meet or something.

However, Claudius knew in his heart that they might not be able to meet at all. The strict investigation of the World Government was not that simple. Lu Jiu would most likely die to protect the baby in her belly, just like in the original story.

After hearing what Claudius said, Karp was silent for a moment, then said, “That guy is pretty good, right?”

Claudius raised his eyebrows, but didn’t deny anything. He nodded and said, “Very good. Even though I know he’s a pirate, I still find him interesting. It would be nice if we could become friends… or something?”

“Yeah, I’ve been fighting him for most of my life. Back then in the Canyon of Gods, I owed him a favor. He’s dying, and if I don’t repay him, I’ll never be able to repay him in the future. That’s why I agreed to him.” Karp murmured softly.

“Then you are really a fool.” Claudius also said softly.

However, this kind of fool makes people feel trustworthy, and Claudius does not hate him.

For more than a month, Claudius spent the whole day wandering around the nearby waters with Garp. From time to time, the two of them went out to sea to fish. If they encountered any pirates or the like, they would deal with them and never saw Roger again.

Roger did not choose to run away or anything. He and Lu Jiu lived a comfortable life every day, and neither force disturbed the other.

Until one morning, Lu Jiu was making breakfast for Roger at home, and Roger’s body became weaker and weaker. He sat at the dining table and coughed uncontrollably a few times. When he looked at the tissue on his palm, it was already covered with blood.

“Lujiu… I regret it now. How great it would have been if I hadn’t become a pirate? Then, I could have married you earlier and had our child sooner…” Roger said softly, looking at the blood-stained tissue in his hand.

When Lu Jiu, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard his voice, she stopped what she was doing. She seemed to understand something.

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she choked up as she spoke, “I fell in love with that heroic, unruly pirate Roger, wasn’t I?”

Roger smiled and said softly, “Yeah, if I wasn’t a pirate, a pretty girl like you probably wouldn’t even look at me straight in the eye. After all, Claudius said I was a sloppy old man…”

“At least he is right about this.” Lu Jiuqiang said with a smile.

The two of them ate breakfast quietly. The atmosphere was warm but also a little depressing. After finishing breakfast, Lu Jiu looked at the empty plate and asked with a smile, “Why did you eat so cleanly today?”

Roger forced a smile and said nothing, but his eyes were filled with reluctance and a hint of sadness.

Seeing this, Lu Jiu also fell silent. After a long while, she slowly asked, “You…are leaving?”

Roger nodded gently. Although he was reluctant, he still said, “I should go…Lu Jiu.”
