"Sure enough, changing history isn't that easy."
Ronan squatted beside the red-faced Buggy and shook his head regretfully.
Even though he had consciously reminded Buggy to eat healthy and exercise, as the voyage was coming to an end,
Buggy still fell ill.
Ronan couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't let Buggy risk his life and continue the journey with them.
And just like the original plot, Shanks volunteered to stay and take care of Buggy.
And Ronan also understood that as long as Buggy did not forcefully land on the island, he would be able to recover after a few days of recuperation, so he was not too worried.
After saying goodbye to Shanks, Ronan understood that the final moment was approaching and the novice protection period was about to end.
So during these days, he looked for Scopper Gaban and Rayleigh more and more frequently, trying to learn as much as possible to use as capital for his future dominance over the sea.
If Ronan wasn't worried that fighting Roger before reaching Laugh Tale might kill him early, he would even want to have a formal fight with a strong man like Roger.
You won't be killed, but you can clearly see the gap between yourself and the top of the world.
It's a pity that there is no chance.
As Uncle Scopper Gaban finished drawing the blueprint, Ronan looked at the island marked as "The Final Island" on the way and began to get excited.
Land on the island,
Ronan and all the crew members walked forward, with Roger walking in the front.
Just watching, everyone burst into laughter, "Looks like we're still early!"
Ronan actually had a lot of guesses in his heart, but after seeing the true face, he also smiled knowingly.
"So, this is One Piece, old thief Oda."
…
The ship slowly left Laugh Tale. Ronan sat at the stern, holding something like a bracelet in his hand.
There are several glass balls inlaid on it, with three pointers inside.
Roger stood by the boat, slowly looking at the island that was getting farther and farther away.
"Captain, I'll record a pointer, don't you mind?"
Ronan had no intention of being sneaky and looked at Roger who was sighing beside him with emotion.
Originally, Ronan had already prepared for being rejected, but he did not expect that Captain Roger had no objection to this.
"Sure, but you wouldn't let this get out there, would you, Ronan?"
"Just as a souvenir." Ronan said with a smile.
Just like the laughter and joy on the way here, everyone was still drinking and chatting happily on the way back. None of the crew members were worried about the end of the trip.
But Ronan felt a little depressed.
Because he knew,
The day of separation is about to come.
Lying silently on the edge of the boat, Ronan boredly threw up the Eternal Pose in his hand, then caught it, threw it up again, and caught it again.
Scopper Gaban saw his depression and walked over slowly with a newspaper in his left hand and a bottle of wine in his right hand.
"Ronan, would you like a bottle?"
Seeing Uncle Scopper Gaban extending his hand, Ronan, who usually didn't like drinking, was startled. He took it and clinked glasses with him.
"…It's so bitter."
"Men on the sea must drink to show their heroism!"
"I don't understand..."
Although Ronan said this, he still bumped into Scopper Gaban again.
The two of them finished a bottle of wine in a few gulps and threw the bottle into the sea. Scopper Gaban handed over a small piece of paper.
"Here, this is my life card."
"Why?"
"If you ever change your mind and realize how good wine is, you can come and drink with me."
"Then you may not be able to wait until that day."
Ronan smiled. He didn't expect that after parting so soon, Roger, who was always serious on the ship and one of the few strict parents on the boat, would have such a temperamental side.
But Ronan was also very happy. If he had nothing to do in the future, he could go and play with Uncle Scopper Gaban.
After all, he also wanted to take a good look around Elbaf and see how Scopper Gaban subdued a wild female giant.
And Uncle Scopper Gaban was able to leave behind a giant offspring, I don't know how he did it,
Is it possible to crawl into it?
Ronan felt a little itchy.
Elbaf, he's definitely going to Ronan.
It took about ten days to go back and forth.
When they were about to arrive, Ronan stood at the bow, looking at the island gradually appearing in the distance, with Oden, Rayleigh and Roger beside him.
In front of Roger's 2.7 meters height, Ronan is actually not much stronger than the kid.
"Ronan, do you remember what you said when you boarded the ship?" Rayleigh looked into the distance and said slowly,
"Of course." Ronan would never forget, even if he said it on purpose in order to get on board.
"In fact, I once said the same thing to Rayleigh. Logically speaking, you are the one who can best inherit my will.
But I always feel that you are not the kind of man who would accept fate, Ronan."
Roger smiled and touched Ronan's head, but the content of his words was somewhat intriguing.
Ronan didn't deny it, but just nodded silently.
"I'm very good at judging people, so this is why I put down Shanks and Buggy, but took you with me, Ronan, you are not the one this world is waiting for.
Moreover, your talent and strength remind me of a person, a man that even I am afraid of, the former overlord of the sea - Rocks D. Xebec.
So, please give me some face, Ronan.
Let the future of the world be given to [hope], as seen in "Laugh Tale."
Ronan had never expected that Captain Roger, who was always carefree, actually had such a mind.
The "hope" of the world?
Thinking of the new era that Captain Roger was about to exchange his life for, Ronan was silent for a long time.
"I understand, Captain, I promise you."
To be honest, he never thought of supporting a world government to rule the world, but he also had no interest in overthrowing the old world.
He only wants to be absolutely strong, do what he likes, live freely in this world, and not be bound by any rules or power.
He lives only for himself and does whatever makes him happy.
In other words, his shoulders really cannot bear the heavy responsibility given by this world, and he will never use his life to advance the development of history.
After hearing Ronan's agreement, Roger was very happy, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart. He turned around and talked to Rayleigh about his youth.
Before we knew it, the boat had docked.
From a distance, Ronan saw the excited Shanks, then he turned around and called Buggy out.
The two of them cheered and jumped for joy. Buggy came over and put his arm around Ronan's shoulders. Everyone chatted happily.
But not long after, Shanks, who was chatting with Roger, suddenly burst into tears, interrupting the atmosphere of the reunion.
Ronan didn't listen to the conversation between the two, but he probably thought about it.
I guess Roger has already told him that the pirate group is about to disband.
