Roger's words before the execution marked the beginning of the chaotic era of the great pirates. The era where influential figure emerged.
One of the pirate king's crew, Giotto, witnessed the beginning of the era and established his family with a similar system.
If the Marine had three generals and the pirates had the Yonko,
then it shouldn't be a problem if I have six guardians, right?
Just like the World Government's Cipher Pol.
I'll make the strongest assassination unit, Varia...
The Tale of Vongola will spread throughout the sea!
....
"Shanks, are you here to say your last farewell, too?"
In a Tavern in Loguetown in the East Blue, Shanks looked at the guy who used to be his crewmate on the Pirate King's ship like himself, and his face showed some regret.
"Giotto... To be honest, I don't want to see this end."
Shanks subconsciously clenched his fists, and his expression became serious at this moment. "But since this is the captain's decision, then I will have to accept this fact."
The Pirate King Gold Roger, no, it should be Gol D. Roger. He wasn't captured by the Marine but surrendered to the Marine out of his own volition. His goal was to open a new era...
A new era that could change this world in his own eyes!
Of course, there was also the reason of him being terminally ill and did not have long to live. Therefore, he could only gamble everything on the future, just like the arm that Shanks would leave in the East Blue in the future.
"Shanks, the captain's decision is not just to turn himself in. You are still too naive young to understand that."
Shanks was stunned when he heard this. His eyes looked at his friend who had been on the same shipas him.
Was there any deeper meaning behind the captain turning himself in?
After all, the current young Shanks was not the future redhead that would become a Yonko in the future, he was just a young pirate who had just left a pirate ship.
At this time, the young man with short blond hair, wearing a black and white checkered suit, a black cloak on his back, and black leather shoes slowly got up.
His name was Vongola Giotto, just like Shanks and Buggy, they three were an apprentice in Pirate King's ship.
Of course, they were nowhere near as skilled as other crew such as Rayleigh and Gaban.
However, a long time ago, Giotto was the strongest among the apprentice. His body exuded a special aura as if it contained everything, but it also gave people a certain sense of intimidation.
"Although I don't understand what you mean, but from your tone, I will definitely understand in the future, right?"
Shanks suddenly grinned. That kind of true appearance was quite like the young Roger and the future Luffy: "Come to think of it, after today, will you sail out to sea with me, Joo?"
"Ha!"
Seeing Shanks like this, Giotto could not help but chuckle. "To be honest, a guy like you seems to be born with the ability to lead and can attract many of your true companions, right? But I'll pass on your offer. After all, I don't plan to be a pirate anymore."
If he went out to sea with Shanks, with his current ability and Shanks' future, he would be able to be the vice Emperor of the Four Emperors in the future.
In other words, this was actually a very good choice.
But this was not Giotto's choice. When he came to the One Piece world as a transmigrator, and the moment he found himself with the name and appearance of Giotto, he already had his own goal.
The name Vongola Giotto was the name he had now in this world, but there was more to this name!
In another world, this name was also known as Vongola Primo!
It's just that although Giotto can be said to be Vongola Primo, he is not completely...
"Well, well, I'll go invite Buggy later, and he should be with me. When the time comes, we will have to meet on the sea, Giotto!" Shanks seemed to be quite confident.
When Giotto saw his expression, he did not know where that confidence came from!
Did he not notice the one who annoyed Buggy the most was him?
Although in everyone's eyes, it seemed like nothing but a lover's quarrel.
"I wish you good luck. As for the future, let's talk about it later."
"However, if there is anything you need help with, you can come to me at any time. After all, we are from the same boat."
"Finally."
Giotto suddenly paused, then waved his hand and walked straight out of the tavern. "I'm gonna send the captain on his last journey. In any case, he has taken care of us for the past few years!"
After saying this, Giotto directly walked toward the execution platform. Judging from the time, it would begin soon.
Pirate King, Gol D. Roger's last words!
Just as he left the tavern, a baby wearing a black suit and a black round hat suddenly jumped down from the tavern's roof and landed directly on Joo's shoulder, sitting very naturally.
"What are your plans after saying goodbye to your friend, Giotto?" The baby sat on Giotto's shoulder and said softly.
"Didn't you already arrange everything for me in the future, Reborn?" For some reason, I really want to do it."
Giotto walked step by step toward the direction of the execution platform, and at the same time, his expression grew firmer. "The beginning of the era of the pirates will indeed give this world an earth-shaking change, but for ordinary people, the beginning of this era is painful and cruel."
"So at the beginning of this era, the first thing to do is to protect your home."
"It has been several years since I went back."
Giotto first found himself not on Roger's ship but on a special island. For him, that island was like a home in this world.
The great pirates' era could indeed be considered magnificent, but for ordinary people, those pirates who only knew how to burn and kill were a great disaster!
This era gave birth to many heroes, but at the same time, it also gave birth to many tragedies that should not have happened.
For example, everything Nami experienced when she was young was a sinful product created by this era of the great pirates!
Giotto was not a saint with the idea of saving the world, nor was he the pioneer who changed the world, nor was he a real fool like Luffy. He didn't object, but he didn't approve of Roger's way of opening the era of pirates, so he naturally wouldn't follow in Roger's footsteps...
"It doesn't matter how chaotic this era is, but those idiot pirates are not allowed to mess with my belongings!"
As soon as he said that, Giotto slowly raised his head, and the sound of footsteps echoed in his ears.
The legend of the sea, the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, was walking step by step onto the execution platform!
