On the deck of the Ghost Ship at the Grandline, Sark Island.
"Yo, Roger, long time no see. I didn't expect to meet you here." When the black figure saw Roger, he stretched out his hand and greeted Roger with a slight tremble.
"Heheheh! It's been a long time! Spirit King, An Zi!" Roger looked at An Zi with a smile, and then a terrifying domineering aura erupted, sweeping through the entire ghost ship, directly scattering the black clouds that covered the ghost ship.
After the black clouds scattered, the sun was revealed once again, shining on the earth. Without the protection of the night, the black shadow was completely exposed in front of everyone.
He wore a dark red outfit, a black captain coat, a pair of black trousers, black leather shoes, a head of long black hair draped over his shoulders, a three-meter-tall sturdy figure, facial features three-dimensional, and looked slightly handsome.
Still, that sickly pale skin ruined the overall feeling. Enduring Roger's violent and overbearing Overlord Color attack, An Zi's heart was incomparably flustered. "Hey, Roger, I don't intend to start a war with you. This is a complete misunderstanding!" An Zi was incomparably excited as he spoke to Roger. He was incomparably nervous.
"Tsk, An Zi, in any case, you've been on Locke's ship before. I never thought that after so many years, you would still be so timid." Roger casually threw away the empty bottle and slowly got up to look at An Zi with a smile.
"."
Hearing Roger's slightly teasing words, An Zi felt he was being looked down upon. "Log, long-winded! Uh!"
As if he felt his tone was a little excited, An Zi immediately became timid again.
"That was several years ago. I am just a little pirate now."
"Little pirate? If you are a little pirate, then there are no big pirates in this big sea, An Zi! After all, you are a man with a bounty of 500 million and 18 million Bailey, and you are called Spirit King."
Roger laughed and took out the famous sword on his waist. Seeing Roger draw out his sword, An Zi suddenly became very nervous. The scene of Roger and Garp working together to kill his boss, Locke, was still vivid in his mind. He felt that he had no chance of winning at all.
"Hey, hey, Roger! It's all a misunderstanding. I don't want to fight with you!" An Zi immediately took two steps back, ready to run away. Looking at An Zi's movements, Roger lost interest in continuing to tease him. "Forget it; as long as you take one of my moves, I will spare you from the crime of attacking my partner."
After saying that, Roger slowly raised his sword and then directly swung out a slash. "G.o.d Dodge!" Feeling the incomparably sharp slash, An Zi's whole body was sweaty. He raised his long spear to block the deep mountains, covering it with a rich Busoshoku Haki.
"Sizzle---"
The sound of the slash cutting through the body was heard. Roger's slash directly went through the long sword in An Zi's hand and cut his body.
"Puchi --" Blood sprayed out and instantly dyed An Zi's chest red. "Ugh!" With a muffled groan, An Zi fell to his knees, his face even paler. Roger saw that his attack did not directly kill An Zi, so he kept his promise and sword.
"Well, the score between us is clear. By the way, how can you be in the first half of the Grandline? Didn't I hear that the golden lion has killed you?" Roger looked at Anzi curiously and asked.
After all, after Locke - D - Jibak was killed, the whole Locke Pirates fell apart. At that time, several monsters on their ship fought each other for their purposes. At that time, An Zi should have been killed by the golden lion after he failed to recruit him, but for some reason, he suddenly appeared here.
When An Zi heard Roger's words, he was silent for a while and then told him what had happened to him. When Roger heard this, he also sighed. An Zi sat cross-legged on the splint to rest and recover. Only after a while did he recover.
"Roger, is that kid called Locke a crew member on your ship?"
Roger raised his head proudly when he heard An Zi's words.
"That's right, that kid is a trainee crew member on my ship. How is it? He's not bad, right? He's only 15 years old."
After receiving Roger's confirmation, An Zi was silent for a while. Then, he walked to the ship's side with difficulty and looked down at Locke. "It looks like Captain Locke." An Zi sighed as he leaned on the ship's side and slowly recounted his past. I was born on Monro Island in the new world. It was a tranquil village.
At that time, I was still a little kid, about the same age as him. That day, I followed the fishermen in the town and was preparing to go out to sea. However, that was indeed the last peace. Pirates attacked my village, and all the people were killed. I was the same.
However, I unexpectedly came back to life because of the devil fruit I accidentally ate, the spirit fruit. He brought me back from hell and gave me a new life. However, after I was revived, I had no beard or heartbeat. I was like a living dead man.
I was resurrected and was filled with hatred. I fell into madness. I wanted to go to sea to find and kill the pirates to avenge the villagers. However, I was angry and despaired because there was no ship to go out to sea.
Just when I was completely crazy and ready to go to sea, the man appeared before me. He took me out to sea and gave me strength. He read books and helped me find the pirates and let me kill them personally.
He is my benefactor, so after I took my revenge, I stayed by his side and became his subordinate. At this point, An Zi stopped talking. Roger quietly listened to him and then walked to the ship's side to look at Locke.
"Is that so? That is sad."
"That little brat is similar to Captain Locke. Not only is he astonishingly talented, but he is also like Captain Locke. He seems to have the same belief as Captain Locke."
Although Anzi was cowardly and timid when facing Roger, he was full of an inexplicable temperament at this time. "Do you want to follow him?" Roger suddenly asked An Zi. Hearing Roger's words, An Zi was silent for a while. "He is still too weak now. Roger, promise me to nurture him well."
"Hahaha, don't worry. I admire that little brat." Roger patted An Zi on the shoulder and responded with a smile. "Right, as the captain, I have already taught you a good lesson. However, my vice-captain also seems to want to fight with you. After all, you have attacked his beloved disciple."
"?"
"Get lost! I don't want to see your Roger Pirates anymore!"
When An Zi heard Roger's words, he immediately roared and activated his ability to kick Roger out of the ship. Then he started his power and began running away with his ghost ship. "Heheheh! An Zi, we will meet on this side of the sea!"
