Marine Headquarters, bustling with activity
"Dad, if Roger really comes back to life, won't we have a great addition to our fighting force?"
Marco looked at Whitebeard, his excitement evident on his face
"Gurarararara!! That's true, but... we still don't know if Roger can really come back to life, do we??"
Whitebeard smiled and raised an eyebrow, "And even if he does come back, you forgot to consider one thing!"
"What thing?" Marco asked, puzzled.
Whitebeard glanced at the chat room, not getting a response from Roger, then looked back at Marco and said, "You forgot to consider the distance! If Roger comes back to life in Logue Town, by the time he reaches Marine Headquarters, the fight might just be over..."
"Oh..."
Upon hearing this, the excitement on Marco's face instantly disappeared.
Everyone knew that Roger was executed in Logue Town
So, logically speaking, even if he comes back to life, he would come back in Logue Town.
"Well, that's a bummer..." Jozu sighed.
But Vista smiled and said, "No worries! Our plan never included Roger in the first place. If Roger does come back, it will at least put some psychological pressure on the Marines. We still have the advantage!!"
Jozu's eyes lit up, "That's right!! Haha, the situation is still in our favor!"
Buzz
Suddenly!
A golden light flashed on the empty space next to Whitebeard!!
"What is that!?"
"What's going on? Didn't the screen immobilize everyone? Who is using their Devil Fruit power?"
"Protect Dad!!"
"Damn, I can't move! If it's an enemy, we're in trouble!"
...
On the high platform, Sengoku also noticed the scene on the deck of the Moby Dick
"What is that...??"
Sengoku frowned, his old face full of wrinkles.
"No way... could it be...?"
Kuzan looked at the sudden golden light and had a guess in his mind.
Borsalino squinted his eyes, slightly shocked.
Sakazuki had a cold and stern expression, as if he didn't care even if the sky fell
The next moment...
The golden light next to Whitebeard suddenly disappeared!!
A figure appeared in everyone's sight...
Holy shit!!---
When they saw this figure, everyone at Marine Headquarters couldn't help but curse in their hearts...
"Ro... Roger...!!"
Looking at the sudden appearance of the man, Marco's two sleepy eyes, which seemed like they couldn't open for ten thousand years, widened like pearls!!
"What!!! Roger!!!" On the high platform, Sengoku was even more shocked, his eyes wide open
He exclaimed, "How is this possible!! How did Roger appear from there??"
Vice Admiral Tsuru frowned, her face darkened, "It must be because of that resurrection. Maybe Roger can choose the place to come back to life..."
Kuzan gritted his teeth, "It really is Roger..."
Borsalino looked extremely frustrated, "Damn... Roger and Whitebeard... This is big trouble!"
Sakazuki said, "Perfect timing! Let him and Whitebeard be buried here together!"
On the platform below the three Marine Admirals, this was the place for the Shichibukai
"Hehehe... Chaos! Let there be chaos!!" Doflamingo was in a great mood now!
Because of Trafalgar Law's promise, he had become the target of everyone's attacks
If there were no external factors, when the screen ended, he would most likely be done for...
Now that Roger appeared at Marine Headquarters, there was no doubt that he would become the center of attention!!
That increased his chances of escaping!!
"Hehehe, don't be afraid, I have a backup plan! Once the immobilization disappears, grab my hand and I'll take you to fly!"
Gekko Moria revealed a sharp White teeth and winked at Doflamingo
"Hehehe... you're really a good person" Doflamingo looked at Moria with a fake smile.
Does this guy think he can be easily trick.
On the deck of the Moby Dick, Whitebeard was most shocked at this moment!!!
Roger was right beside him, and he could see more clearly than anyone else
Because Roger at this moment was not in his dying state, but in his prime, the peak of his strength
"Roger... you've been resurrected?" Whitebeard tried to suppress his shock and asked.
"Hahaha! Whitebeard, I've been resurrected!!!" Roger laughed and immediately wanted to give Whitebeard a hug!!!
"Hmm?"
He realized that his hands couldn't open as he intended, and Roger was slightly stunned.
Then he realized what was happening
"It seems that after I was resurrected, I, like you all, have been imprisoned by this screen and can't move" Roger said.
However, Whitebeard didn't care about that, and he continued to ask, "Roger, how old is your body now...?"
"Oh, about that! Haha! I chose to be resurrected at the age of 38, which is when I'm at my strongest!!!"
Roger instinctively patted his chest "Huh? It seems like I can still move myself?"
Roger was somewhat surprised when he saw his palm patting his chest.
"Yes, you can only move within a very small range, but you absolutely cannot make any movements towards others." Marco explained.
Looking at the appearance of the young Roger, Whitebeard was filled with envy!!!
Roger was originally five years older than him
But now...
Roger was in his prime, while he was nearing the end
Anyone would feel a sense of lamentation
But he quickly adjusted his emotions
He looked at Roger and said, "Roger, with you in your prime joining us, we will definitely be able to save your son!!"
Upon hearing this, Roger and Whitebeard locked eyes
Gratitude surged in his eyes, "Thank you for taking care of Ace!! Whitebeard, Ace is my son, and he is also your son...!!"
If it weren't for the imprisonment of the screen, Roger really wanted to give Whitebeard a good hug right now!
"Gurarararara!!! Roger, hearing you say that, I'm really happy!"
Whitebeard burst into hearty laughter, "Then let's save our son together!"
"Good!" Roger also laughed freely.
He turned his head towards the direction of the new form, his gaze swept across Sengoku's face, and then landed on Ace's face...
Ace was also looking at Roger, and when he saw Roger looking at him, he instinctively avoided his gaze
However, Roger's voice suddenly resounded!
"Ace!!! Listen carefully, you may not have much else, but you have a lot of dads!"
"With me as your Pirate King dad, and Whitebeard as your Four Emperors dad! No matter who makes you suffer, we will make them regret it!!" Roger put his hands in his pockets and looked around the whole scene
At this moment...
The aura of the former king suddenly descended!!
Those who had walked through the Roger era seemed to recall that era when Roger ruled...
And what was even more terrifying...
The man with a crescent-shaped mustache standing beside Roger was the king of this era...
The kings of two eras simultaneously reigning over the Marine Headquarters!!
