Chapter 245 The Age of Great Pirates Begins
When Roger died, there was still a bright smile on his face. In sharp contrast to his death, the people in the square were almost all crazy at this moment.
After hearing from the Pirate King Roger in person that there was a great secret treasure and that he had placed all his treasures there, the square was completely boiling. The huge cheers drowned out everything, resounding through the heavens and the earth, as if it would never calm down.
Lu Kai looked at the scene in front of him, trying hard to control the tears that were about to flow.
He is a navy and he cannot cry in front of everyone because of the death of a pirate, especially when that person is the Pirate King Roger. However, Luke could not suppress the pain in his heart.
Roger completed the relay in the last few seconds of his life, which marked the beginning of the great pirate era and paved a smooth road for Luke. He died gloriously, just as he had lived.
"Master, rest in peace!" Lu Kai said silently in his heart, "I will definitely take good care of your son Ace. I will never let anyone have the chance to kill him in the future, not even the Lord or me. I say that."
Then Lu Kai glanced at the crowd in the square and saw that many people who would become famous in the future had witnessed this scene with their own eyes.
Doflamingo, Gekko Moriah, Smoker Smoker, Hawkeye Mihawk, Red-haired Shanks, Buggy the Clown, Monkey D. Dragon of the Revolutionary Army, and Lukai's four disciples...
Luke's mission was accomplished, both for the navy and for Roger.
He is a participant of this era and a witness to the opening of the Great Pirate Era, and he must also complete his mission next.
He will ride the wave of the Great Pirate Age, rapidly expand his power, do his best to fight against the evil of the world, and bring hope to all living things.
And find a way to completely resolve the resentment of all living beings, and never let the era that Roger created with his life be destroyed.
What Roger said in the last few seconds before his execution seemed to have wings. Within a day, it spread all over the world and fermented at an extremely fast speed.
If this matter is allowed to continue to ferment, it will be an extremely terrible situation, and Lu Kai is just waiting for this matter to ferment.
Luke didn't want to see sacrifice, but Roger and Fuya were right, the arrival of the Great Pirate Era was nothing more than the result of the concentrated outbreak of accumulated contradictions around the world, and it was an unstoppable trend.
It's just that this era happened to be foreseen by them, and because of the surge in the number of pirates, it was named the 'Great Pirate Era'.
As Roger said, drastic changes in the times will lead to drastic changes in people's hearts. As sins continue to increase and be exposed, more and more people will look for light and hope.
And once hope appears, it will take root in people's hearts and bring new vitality to the world.
This is what Lu Kai will do next.
Almost all smart people knew what the meaning behind Roger's last few words was, so even though the Pirate King was successfully executed, none of the naval admirals who came to escort him were happy.
Because people from all over the world who went out to sea as pirates were really vying for the first place, fearing that they would miss the unique great treasure if they were one day late. After collecting Roger's body, Lu Kai led his troops back to the naval branch base in Rogue Town.
Luke asked the troops to rest here to relax their tense nerves during this period, and ordered everyone to return to Marinford in three days.
In a small alley south of Rogue Town, Red-Haired Shanks and the Clown Buggy just separated. Shanks wanted to invite Buggy to go with him and form a pirate group together, but Buggy refused.
The red-haired man felt a little lonely when he saw Buggy's leaving back. He was about to turn around and leave, but he saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
"Lukai!" Shanks was extremely shocked when he saw Lukai, "Why are you here?"
"I just want to see you, my old friend." Lu Kai replied.
"You bastard, you are the one who killed the captain." Shanks had just witnessed Roger's execution and was very emotional at the moment.
Seeing Luke approaching, Shanks suddenly exploded, rushed forward, grabbed Luke by the collar, and yelled at Luke: "You killed the captain!"
Facing Shanks' roar, Lu Kai lowered his head and remained silent, allowing the other party to vent his suppressed emotions.
After a long time, Shanks regained his senses, let go of Luke, and shook his head: "It's not you!"
"It's not you, it's the captain's own decision. I shouldn't blame you." Shanks' eyes, which had just stopped crying, turned red again.
"If a hero like Mr. Roger doesn't want to be arrested by the navy, who has the ability to catch him?" Lu Kai sighed.
"Yes, it was the captain's own choice. Ever since he got the terminal illness, the captain told us that all good things must come to an end, and we will have to separate sooner or later.
"Then each of us can pursue the life we want. But before that, I hope we can all accompany him to the end of his journey."
Shanks wiped away the tears that could not stop flowing with his arm and said: "The captain is so distant, how could we not be willing? I just hope that this day will never end, and we will always follow the captain, to fight, to adventure..."
Lu Kai listened to Shanks telling his inner thoughts in silence. His nose felt a little sore uncontrollably and he almost couldn't control his tears.
Shanks seemed to have finally found someone to talk to, and continued to express his grievances and thoughts. When he finished speaking, both of them fell silent.
"So what are you going to do next?" Lu Kai asked after a while.
"I will inherit the captain's will, form my own pirate group, and be a real man!" Shanks clenched his fists and vowed.
"Then I wish you good luck. Don't get caught by the navy as soon as you go out to sea. There are many naval experts in Rogue Town now!" Lu Kai teased at the right time.
"Who do you think would be so unlucky?" Shanks suddenly said excitedly, "And I'm not that weak, okay?"
"Who knows!" Lu Kai continued to tease, "But I wish you good luck. I hope that next time we meet, I can have a drink with you instead of arresting you."
After saying that, Luke smiled at Shanks and turned away.
At the easternmost port of the island where Rogue Town is located, Lu Kai was wearing a specially made red suit and a navy cloak, with his hands crossed on his chest, looking out to sea.
Lu Kai had been standing here for three hours without moving, but no one dared to disturb him. Even Lu Kai's four disciples stood quietly and obediently not far behind him, remaining silent the entire time.
At this time, there was still an hour before the time Lu Kai set to set sail. Many naval soldiers were still urgently moving necessities on the ship, and others were making final preparations for setting sail.
