Chapter 005: What Are You Crying For? Isn't It Just Your Son Dying?
"Your swordsmanship..."
On the vast sea, Roger looked at Liu Feng, who was comfortably enjoying the sea breeze at the bow, and asked.
His expression carried doubt and confusion.
The cool sea breeze messed up Liu Feng's hair tips; under the messy hair, his eyes narrowed into two slits.
He smiled and said straightforwardly:
"It's your swordsmanship."
Now Roger was even more confused.
He clearly hadn't taught his swordsmanship to anyone. Apart from that guy Rayleigh learning a little bit from him, it hadn't been passed down at all.
Liu Feng smiled, stood up from the deck, and stretched his back greatly.
"Let me put it this way, this is one of my abilities."
"After resurrecting you, I can obtain one of your abilities."
Roger's eyes immediately widened.
"How is that possible!?"
He couldn't help but be surprised.
If resurrecting the dead could be barely understood as Liu Feng's Devil Fruit ability...
After all, strange Devil Fruit abilities emerge one after another on this sea; even he, the Pirate King who once traveled the entire New World, couldn't figure them all out completely.
But a Devil Fruit that obtains others' abilities, this was the first time he had seen it.
Seeing Roger's expression as if he had seen a ghost, Liu Feng laughed inwardly.
A cheat-like system like this is indeed not very easy to accept.
"However..."
Roger suddenly raised his eyebrows and said with ill intent:
"Telling me your secret just like that, aren't you afraid I'll leak it?"
"Although in my perception, I cannot attack you, I possess complete autonomy over myself."
"You should know, I am not someone willing to be beneath others."
"With my status and reputation, I could easily form a pirate crew and roam the seas."
Liu Feng clicked his tongue and laughed:
"I indeed have no control over you."
"However, there's one thing you should know."
"The current you probably hasn't recovered your strength by far; you might not be my match."
"Also, this sea is not of your era."
"It is now the year 1522 of the Sea Circle Calendar, which is also..."
Roger froze.
It has already been 22 years!?
He suddenly jumped up, gripping Liu Feng's shoulders tightly with both hands, his expression like a madman.
"Do you know a person named Ace?"
If anyone were here to see Roger like this, they would be shocked.
The current Roger had none of the Pirate King's Haki or majesty, just an ordinary person worried to the limit.
Seeing him like this, Liu Feng sighed inwardly.
Pity the hearts of parents; even a heroic figure like Roger cannot resist the bond of blood.
He didn't doubt it at all, just quietly lit a cigarette, then handed one to Roger.
"Your son, Portgas D. Ace, is dead."
Snap!
The burning cigarette fell to the ground, sparks scattering.
Roger's hands trembled.
His expression was very complex: guilt, pain, and sorrow.
Liu Feng took a deep drag of the smoke, saying nothing for the moment, just waiting quietly, gazing into the distance.
The white-haired burying the black-haired; this kind of grief, Roger needed some time to recover from.
"Ah!!!!!"
Suddenly, Roger threw his head back and wailed, a hoarse roar resounding through the horizon.
Boom!!!
Liu Feng's gaze sharpened; he felt the sturdy warship beneath his feet suddenly shake violently.
The deck lifted layer by layer from beneath Roger's feet, shattering, and even the ship's hull let out a groan of being overwhelmed.
The sky changed color at some unknown point.
Lightning flashed, and gale-force winds blew ceaselessly.
The sea beneath also roared in fury, tossing the entire warship about endlessly.
Waves of impact force, almost visible to the naked eye, rushed toward his face, nearly making Liu Feng lose his composure and stumble.
He gritted his teeth tightly, his hands subconsciously gripping the mast, staring at the wailing Roger.
"Such strong Conqueror's Haki!!"
Roger's strength hadn't recovered; he might not even have one-third of his peak condition.
But Conqueror's Haki, this innate spirit of ruling over the world, would not change.
Exploding suddenly under emotional loss of control, it made Liu Feng, who hadn't awakened Haki, feel extremely uncomfortable for a moment.
That was a crushing pressure stemming from the depths of the soul, a shock from the spiritual level.
It was not something that physical strength and swordsmanship could be compared to.
Pirate King!
Truly domineering!
"Enough!"
"What are you crying for? Isn't it just that your son died?"
"Don't forget my ability!!"
"We can go take revenge, right!?"
Liu Feng couldn't help but shout loudly.
The crying stopped abruptly.
The surrounding natural phenomena also suddenly disappeared.
Roger looked at Liu Feng with teary eyes and said expectantly:
"You can resurrect Ace?"
Being stared at by the legendary Pirate King, this uncle with old eyes messy from crying, Liu Feng felt a wave of awkwardness.
What a goofball, truly exactly the same as Luffy.
He said grumpily:
"Nonsense."
"Not just your son, I can even resurrect your wife!"
"When the time comes, I'll let your whole family reunite!"
"All together!"
