Chapter 208 Where did Roger go?
One Piece Calendar 1498, a month has passed since Roger became the Pirate King.
In this month, the world was in turmoil. Across the Four Seas, both before and after the Grand Line, Delivery Seagull soared, carrying new News to the world.
At this moment, Roger's name completely resounded across this Sea. This man who became the Pirate King will leave a heavy mark on History. At the same time, countless Forces on the Sea are constantly searching for News of the Roger Pirates, because even capturing just one Member of the Roger Pirates could grant them a ticket to Final Island.
Some people sensed that a new Era was coming. The appearance of the Pirate King meant that the World Government would face a huge challenge.
For hundreds of years, the World Government has been ruling the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line, but the New World has always been a Place that the World Government has found difficult to govern.
It is conceivable what a person who can complete a circumnavigation of the World and almost conquer the entire Sea means to the World. As long as such a person raises their arms and shouts, countless Ambitionist, dreamers, and opportunists will respond and spread like a virus.
After Roger became the Pirate King, the World Government was furious.
It was even Rumor that the Five Elders in Pangaea Castle, existences standing at the Peak of World Power, held a meeting overnight, and all the heads of the World Government's major Power Institution attended.
Almost immediately after the meeting, Marine Headquarters began an unprecedentedly frequent mobilization, and the CP Department and other secret departments under the World Government also began to become active, using Full Power to search for Roger and the Roger Pirates' whereabouts on the Sea.
This behavior of the World Government made the entire World suddenly fall into an atmosphere of an approaching storm.
Everyone with a keen Sense of Smell on the Sea could realize that as Roger became the Pirate King, a huge Storm that would affect the entire World was about to arrive.
Navy Bases all over the country and on the Sea were all under martial law, especially in Roger's hometown, East Blue, the Navy was even more outwardly relaxed but inwardly tense. Once Roger appeared in East Blue, he would immediately face a Destructive blow from the World Government and the Navy.
But unexpectedly, the man who obtained the highest Status on the Sea, the Pirate King, at the moment when he should have ushered in a new Peak, just disappeared from everyone's sight.
Even all the Members of the Roger Pirates seemed to have disappeared completely, leaving the spies that the World Government had placed in West Blue, Fish-Man Island, Twin Capes, and many hometowns of Roger Pirates Members in the Grand Line empty-handed.
At the same time, with the disappearance of the Roger Pirates, the World Government's preparations, and the Navy's readiness in the Four Seas and the Grand Line, completely became a waste of effort.
"What exactly does he want to do?"
Inside Pangaea Castle, the Five Elders, some sitting and some standing, looked at the first-hand Intelligence gathered from the Four Seas.
"If that Roger guy really reached Final Island, then he should know a lot about the Truth of the World, but it's really strange that he hasn't taken any Action."
For the Five Elders, the five people with the highest Power in the World Government, they also know the Existence of Final Island, but they cannot reach it at all. After all, to prevent the Truth of the World from being completely buried, those guys back then put in a lot of effort.
"If Roger really reached Final Island, then they should know what they are facing. What I can't understand is, although he knows his Weakness cannot shake that Lord, spreading those things that happened in the past to the Sea could also cause us a lot of trouble, why doesn't he do it?"
The old man with a flat hat and a Scar on his left face said with a frown.
"Perhaps he has a bigger Plan."
The Five Elders with a long Beard said lightly.
"But no matter what, we must be prepared to eliminate the Roger Pirates!"
The bald man wearing a white Kimono and Glasses, holding a Long Sword, said indifferently, as if eliminating the Roger Pirates was just an ordinary Thing for them.
Marine Headquarters, inside the Marine Academy, Zephyr was also looking at the Newspaper, frowning, and thinking about the question of where Roger went.
Undoubtedly, the disappearance of Roger and his gang can be said to be a question that everyone on the entire Sea is currently concerned about.
After all, after reaching Final Island, this legendary Pirate crowned as the Pirate King just disappeared without a trace, and even what he saw or discovered on Final Island was not explained.
The only Thing that can be known is that the World Government claimed that Roger obtained Wealth, Fame, Power.
"Zephyr, you're as boring as Sengoku, what can you see from reading the Newspaper? Maybe Roger is busy having children, he'll come out himself after a while."
Garp walked into Zephyr's Office and sat down casually on the sofa next to him, eating Senbei Crackers in large bites.
"He has already become the Pirate King, it can be said that he has already obtained the highest honor as a Pirate. At this time, he shouldn't be so low-key, right?"
Zephyr was still thinking about this question.
Garp immediately felt helpless. Even though Zephyr had retired to the second line, he was still very concerned about what was happening on the Sea.
If it weren't for Zephyr's unstable state of mind after encountering that Thing, Garp wouldn't have bothered to come see this guy.
But fortunately, Zephyr quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, is there still no News about that Kid Dorag?"
Hearing the name Dorag, Garp's action of stuffing Senbei Crackers into his mouth obviously paused, but he quickly returned to normal and put the Senbei Crackers into his mouth and chewed them loudly.
"That brat doesn't know where he's run off to. If I catch him, I will definitely let him have a good taste of my Fist of Love full of love."
Garp chewed the Senbei Crackers in his mouth with a crunching sound. It can be said that Dorag's behavior was almost no different from betraying the Navy. If it weren't for Garp's wide connections, maybe a Wanted Poster would have been issued long ago.
"Dorag has been opinionated since he was a child. If he is disappointed with the Navy, that's still better. I'm just afraid he will make the wrong choice. You must know that the World Government absolutely does not only represent high position and great symbolic meaning."
This was clearly a warning between Friends, but it made Garp straighten his expression.
"I will pay attention."
"Fufufufu, this is really interesting. After Roger became the Pirate King, he actually chose to disappear. Is he scared out of his wits? Or is he brewing a major event that will shock the World? And the famous Golden Lion has also been dealt with. During our time in the Arctic Circle, the World has changed a lot. This Era is becoming more and more interesting, fufufu."
On the Pirate Ship of the Donquixote Family, Doflamingo, who had just come out of the Arctic Circle, looked at the News in the Newspaper and suddenly let out a strange Laughter.
"Behehehehe, I say Dofla, a Warship of Issho has been discovered in the distance, what should we do?"
Doflamingo's Laughter, with Trebol's Sound coming, suddenly seemed to be stuck in his throat.
Then, taking the Telescope from Trebol and looking at the Sail with "Issho" written on it hanging on the Warship in the distance, and the Figure standing at the bow of the Warship with a Cane Sword, Doflamingo's veins suddenly bulged on his hand, and he even directly crushed the Telescope.
"Everyone, listen up, head to the New World, I don't believe he can chase me to the New World!"
Doflamingo said fiercely, obviously being chased by Issho like this, he couldn't expect his various Plans to proceed smoothly.
