All over the world, every reader was shocked by the contents of the current chapter.
This was undoubtedly a super shock... The Pirate King was not captured and brought to justice by the powerful force of the Marines, but he was the one who gave himself up in the first place.
This news was undoubtedly like a slap in the face to the Navy and the World Government, who were also wondering how they managed to overcome Roger and execute him as easily as he appeared in the first chapter.
This was the Roger we were talking about... the Pirate King who sailed through the entire world and reached the end of the Grand Line!
For the Five Elders and even Imu, Roger was a very troublesome opponent with no solution.
His incurable illness served as a wonderful peaceful solution for them.
"If Roger is going to die of an incurable disease... does it mean that this year is the year who is supposed to surrender himself to the Navy and be executed?"
"That's right... this year is 22 years before the main plot, so the Great Pirate Era must be near!"
(Clarification from the author: it may seem to you that the timeline is in complete chaos, but believe me, it's not like that at all... the reason why the ages of some characters differ from the original ones is the butterfly effect. For example, Trafalgar Law's parents were two years late giving birth to him, otherwise, he would be two years older at the moment, instead of his mother Mary still being pregnant with him... Rob caused huge changes at the plot level, so the butterfly effects have already turned into a devastating hurricane for the plot. Do not expect that everything will be identical... some characters may appear while others will disappear, believe me, all this is due to the Butterfly Effect.)
"We are in the age of hunters, there will be no Great Pirate Era existence. Even Luffy will become a hunter after he is born! And in 7 years, he will say: 'I will become the Hunter King!' or something like that... Bft... Hahahaha!"
"If Roger is really sick, then what happened in the first chapter of the manga will have to be repeated in reality."
In every art store, the readers were excited and scared at the same time... they wanted to see the Great Pirate Era, but at the same time, they didn't want to see the birth of an endless number of crazy pirates coveting the treasure of One Piece.
So far, no one knows what One Piece is, so everything is still under control.
But what will happen when the curtain is unveiled?
What could happen at that time?
With One Piece manga, everyone will know what One Piece is someday... not just the Roger Pirates or the Straw Hat Pirates, but everyone in the world will know.
So, it is conceivable how much chaos will result from finding out what One Piece really is for everyone in the world.

Ohara:
Brook gazed at the manga's events with a broad smile on his human face. It was the scene where they discussed Crocus, who chose to join the Pirate King's ship to search for the Rumbar crew for Laboon.
"BUEEEEH!"
"Even you noticed it, Laboon, Yohohohoho! That's right, this is Crocus... he did it all for you."
"What a nobleman..." Warm tears streamed down Brook's face, moved not only by the kindness in Crocus's heart but also by the memory of the tragic fate of the Rumbar Pirates, who became a symbol of misfortune in this world since the Thriller Bark arc.
Laboon, in his small form, sat on Brook's shoulder, emitting joyous sounds upon seeing Crocus in the manga... this adorable little companion wouldn't ever forget Crocus, that was for sure.
"Shall we embark on a journey to visit Crocus? What do you say, Laboon?"
"BUEEEEH!!"
"Well, it's settled then."

"One Piece" Events:
—————————
"Under the captain's orders, the Roger Pirates secretly disbanded. The entire crew split up, and one by one, they disappeared."
"I put my life on the line with those men, but now, I don't even know where they are or what they're doing," sighed Rayleigh before continuing to speak.
"And then, about a year after we disbanded, Roger gave himself up, was arrested, and in his hometown, Loguetown, in East Blue, he was publicly executed."
"On that day, in the square, I hear that lots of men who would become famous pirates today showed their faces. The whole world watched as the pirate king was executed."
"I didn't go," said Rayleigh with a smile that showed his helplessness at that moment, as if he could hear his departed comrade's voice at this moment. Rayleigh recalled the last words Roger said to him.
"These were the last words he said to me..."
(("I'm not gonna die... partner..."))
"The world government and the Marines must have been shocked. They intended the execution to be a warning to the other pirates."
"But with one word before his death, Roger set off the Great Pirate Age...!!"
•———•———•———•———•———•
"In the Golden Lion's arc, the scene of Roger's execution and numerous small-time pirates, who later rose to become prominent figures in the manga like me, Donquixote Doflamingo, was depicted, fufu..."
"I too made an appearance at that event," Mihawk chimed in after Doffy.
"Even Moria and Crocodile were there... and even the Revolutionary Dragon," added Issho. Everyone, including Issho, had vivid memories of the events at the beginning of the Golden Lion arc, harking back to the era of Roger, making Rayleigh's words in the manga still fresh in their minds.
"I don't quite grasp what Roger meant by saying he won't die... considering he was already executed," wondered Rosinante curiously.
"It likely implies that as long as people remember him as the first villain who ignited the Great Pirate era, he will forever live on in their thoughts."
"Have you forgotten what the wise Dr. Hiriluk said back then? People die when others forget them!" Issho remarked with a smile...
...
Drum Kingdom:
"Remarkably... in the manga, this man remains more alive than anyone else..."
"The Great Pirate King who survived even after the executioners thrust their sharp spears into him, hahaha!"
Hiriluk laughed heartily as he emptied the Sake into his mouth.
This scene, where Roger assures Rayleigh that he won't die, is truly impressive.
Wasn't that almost what he conveyed to Chopper about himself when he ingested poison and attempted suicide in the manga?
"When do people die...
"You know, why not consider that he's not really dead... not only in the spiritual sense but in the physical sense as well."
"After all, this is a pirate world where wonders are witnessed everywhere, ihihihihi!"
At that moment, Kureha doused Hiriluk with cold water, speaking these words.
