Another half a year passed.
Today on Onigashima, Hancock, who had now obtained the Love-Love Fruit, was sparring with Yamato, who was three years younger than her.
The two little girls exchanged blows. Although Hancock hadn't fully mastered her Love-Love Fruit, she could already use it initially.
Yamato, as usual, attacked fiercely with her kanabo, swinging with such force that she smashed several craters into the ground.
Hiyori, who had recently learned to speak and was two years younger than Yamato, sat beside them watching the sparring with great interest. Her little head turned back and forth following their rhythm, occasionally clapping and cheering.
Suddenly, Hiyori's eyes lit up. She stood up and ran over on her short legs.
"Daddy! Daddy!"
Hancock and Yamato stopped their movements and turned to see Makoto walking towards them.
Seeing Hiyori throw herself into Makoto's arms, wrapping her short legs around his waist, her arms around his neck, rubbing her little face against his and constantly acting spoiled…
Hancock and Yamato's expressions became somewhat subtle.
Hancock couldn't help but mutter quietly, "Little slut, your real father is locked up."
Hancock was very dissatisfied with Hiyori's random 'dad-calling'.
By the way, Hiyori was no longer called Kozuki Hiyori now, but Nishikawa Hiyori.
Well, mainly because a while ago, after Hiyori learned to speak, she curiously asked Toki why she had her mother's surname instead of her father's.
That question stumped Toki, who couldn't give an answer for a long time.
After all, she couldn't say that her father was currently locked up in prison by Makoto and could be executed at any time.
That would be too cruel for a child.
So Hiyori took it upon herself to declare that she would take her father's surname, and renamed herself Nishikawa Hiyori.
Just then, Yamato also came over, pulling a notebook from behind her back, and excitedly said to Makoto, "Old man, I found something really good yesterday! Look, look!"
Makoto looked down and saw the cover read, [Oden's Travels].
Makoto's pupils contracted sharply.
He snatched the notebook and shouted at Yamato, "You f*cking didn't read it, did you?!"
Makoto felt terrible.
It should be known that in the original work, Yamato was 'possessed' by Kozuki Oden after reading this thing.
Makoto's sudden outburst startled the three Onigashima girls.
It was the first time they had seen such an expression on Makoto's face.
Yamato said timidly, "I didn't read it... I was waiting to read it with you, old man..."
Makoto immediately raised his hand and flung the notebook away. It flew to the other side of the horizon like a shooting star.
Then, unable to hold back, he gave Yamato a sharp rap on the head.
"Don't pick up random things in the future."
Yamato rubbed the bump on her head and said 'Oh' pitifully.
Just then, Kaido also came over to chat with Makoto.
"There's been some interesting rumors lately."
"It's said that Roger has been wandering around with a mysterious woman. The Marine and the World Government suspect that Roger might have offspring with that woman. Looks like your prediction was right."
Makoto smiled and said nothing, only replying, "Pregnant women and infants all over the world are in for a world of trouble."
Yukino, who was training with her sister on the other side, felt very uncomfortable hearing this.
She felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and then trained even harder.
Just then, a flock of News Coos flew over Onigashima, dropping newspapers.
The faces of the Beasts Pirates and the training players changed, knowing that something major had happened.
Haruno picked up a newspaper and her face changed dramatically.
The headline read—
[Pirate King: Gold Roger, Officially Arrested by the Marine!]
The report published the news of the Marine capturing Roger and stated that Roger would be executed in Loguetown in the East Blue a week later, to put an end to the age of pirates.
Seeing the report, Makoto couldn't help but laugh.
They said they were going to end the pirate age, but they actually ushered in an even more frenzied Great Age of Pirates.
Makoto smiled and called his women over.
"I'll take you all to see the excitement then."
Hearing this, everyone knew that Makoto was taking them to Loguetown.
The lively Chika clapped her hands excitedly. "Great, great! I'm tired of staying in Amazon Lily. It's been a long time since we've had some fresh air."
The MILF Group, Yukiko, Eri, and the others, breathed a sigh of relief.
Because Makoto had told them before that after Roger died, they could prepare for the time jump.
As the years passed, they could feel their bodies showing more and more signs of aging.
Even if it wasn't very obvious, even one more wrinkle was a catastrophe for beautiful mature women like them.
Subsequently, Makoto and his group set off on the Otherworlder-Go.
September, East Blue, Loguetown.
Although Loguetown was the largest town in the East Blue, being the closest East Blue town to the Grand Line, it received countless merchant ships daily, as well as pirates preparing to enter the Grand Line or those slinking back from it…
But today's visitor traffic was undoubtedly the highest ever.
Countless people from the East Blue and the first half of the Grand Line flocked to this town, cramming every street.
They were clearly all drawn here by the shocking news of the [Pirate King's Public Execution].
At that moment, countless onlookers, including civilians and pirates, were separated by the Marine on both sides of the streets.
Clank... clank...
Along with the sound of chains dragging on the ground, the man known as the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, his hands and feet shackled, walked slowly down the center of the street towards the execution platform in the square, led by the Marine.
Although Roger looked extremely disheveled at this moment, his intimidation factor for ordinary people was still unimaginable.
When he finally reached the square, Roger looked at the tall steel execution platform, blinked, said nothing, and continued forward.
Garp, waiting at the foot of the steps, looked at Roger with complex eyes. After a moment of silence, he sighed, "Farewell."
However, Roger looked up strangely, showing his big white teeth and smiling, "I won't die, comrade."
Garp frowned deeply but said nothing.
He planned to go to the South Blue immediately after Roger's death to secretly take the child Roger had told him about a few days ago.
As for how to raise the child, Garp hadn't figured it out yet.
It must be said, these two were truly something else.
A Marine Hero, raising the son of the Pirate King.
It should be known that rumors of Roger leaving offspring were spreading all over the world.
Under such circumstances, Garp dared to adopt Roger's son. Had he really not considered what the World Government would do if they couldn't find Roger's child?
Just as Roger reached the top of the execution platform and sat down to await his death—
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Pirate King, where is your treasure? Did you really find it? That legendary One Piece!!!"
At these words, the scene fell silent.
And Roger suddenly showed a strange smile.
"My treasure? If you want it, I'll let you have it all. Look for it... I left everything this world has at that place."
At these words, Garp below changed color dramatically, instantly understanding why Roger had turned himself in at Marine Headquarters.
On the other side, Zephyr, unable to adhere to his no-killing principle, shouted, "Kill him!"
The two executioners raised their spears, preparing to act.
Just then…
A white-haired boy in the crowd felt the sunlight overhead blocked by a shadow.
He looked up and his face changed dramatically.
"What is that?!"
More and more people looked up into the sky.
There, a gray-black giant hundreds of meters tall was flying towards them.
It looked like it was about to fall.
Seeing this, Garp, Roger, and others changed color dramatically.
Garp said in a deep voice, "That's... Nishikawa Makoto's..."
Sure enough, as the giant approached, everyone could see clearly… inside the giant's body, a ship was enveloped.
It was Makoto's Otherworlder-Go.
The huge crowd of onlookers gathered in the square quickly scattered.
Boom—!
The Otherworlder-Go landed in the center of the square. The ground shook violently, stone slabs shattered, and dust flew.
At the same time, the weather suddenly changed.
The previously cloudless sky became overcast, and a torrential downpour crashed down.
Makoto and his group walked off the ship one after another.
Young Smoker saw Makoto and exclaimed, "The King of the World!"
Others also looked incredulous.
The future Warlords hidden in the crowd, like Doflamingo, Gecko Moria, Dracule Mihawk, also had their expressions change slightly.
"Fufufufufu—"
Doflamingo laughed strangely. "I didn't expect the King of the World to come. What does he want to do?"
Although Doflamingo usually acted like he didn't care about anyone, to be honest, he held a great deal of respect for Makoto.
After all, Makoto had truly lived the life he imagined, being able to toy with the World Government like a dog. That was what this 'Fallen Celestial Dragon' most wanted to do.
And perhaps due to a swordsman's resonance, Dracule Mihawk instantly locked onto Saeko, who was following to Makoto's right rear.
The Supreme Grade Blade, Yoru, on his back vibrated slightly, as if resonating with the Shodai Kitetsu at Saeko's waist.
Makoto looked at Roger, dumbfounded on the execution platform, and chuckled.
"Yo, Suppressed King, you're not dead yet? Good, good."
To be honest, it was impossible for an ordinary ship to travel from the New World to the East Blue in a week.
So Makoto chose to use the Complete Body Susanoo again after a long time.
But halfway there, something happened that forced Makoto to take a detour.
Fortunately, he still made it in time.
"Wh-what do you want?"
Seeing Makoto, whom he hadn't seen in nearly a decade, Roger also broke out in a cold sweat.
Although his goal was accomplished, he felt that this guy's presence here could only mean trouble.
