  "As Dragon was capturing the Sordes Pirates, Rojen was already steering 'The Logan' away from the isnd.

  "At this point, if the Marines aren't idiots, they should have already captured those pirates, right?"

  Feeling the sense of warning finally dissipate, a smile finally appeared on Rojen's face.

  He had used the Sordes ship to travel, dog on the small isnd, and f the pirates to leave. The real iion behind this was to draw the Marines' attention to the Sordes ship.

  In doing so, he had bought himself some time. Rojen wasn't foolish; he khat his movements were already known to the Marines, and esg their gaze was impossible.

  If he had tinued using the Sordes ship, he would have been caught sooner or ter. If a stronger Marine force had e after him, he would certainly have met his end there.

  Moreover, the persistent feeling of warning that hadn't faded firmed his suspis.

  Only now, when that feeling finally dissipated, did Roje out a sigh of relief.

  Standing at the bow of 'The Logan', looking out at the calm sea, Rojen's gaze flickered.

  "What should I do ?"

  A trace of fusion appeared in his eyes. He had fled from Loguetown, then entered the Marines and was injured, only to be saved by Sefiya. After that, he had wiped out the Sordes Pirates, and now, he was in this situation.

  In such a short time, he had experienced more than in the sixteen years of his life. This kind of life, so rid thrilling, made Rojen feel a mix of excitement and fear.

  For a quarter of an hour, Rojen remained immersed in this mixture of exhiration and unease. After some time, he finally looked up, and by then, a smile had returo his face.

  "However, I have to admit, this feeling… it's really exg!"

  He chuckled, then began to think about his future.

  "If I remember correctly, Roger had a son."

  "And now I have the strength to protect myself. The Possessed System, though a huge financial drain, has given me power— it's truly formidable!"

  The ship sailed slowly, and an hour ter, the sea ahead became noisy.

  "Another pirate ship?"

  Frowning as he looked at the chaos on the sea, he saw two ships engaged in a fierce battle. One of them irate ship with a skull fg.

  "The era Roger started, before things settle down, these so-called pirates are just greedy, shameless, savage bastards!"

  "These guys are the real dregs!"

  Because of this, Rojen had always despised the idea of being a pirate. All the pirates he had entered so far, except fer, were nothing more than violent, immoral scum— no moral boundaries, the worst kind of people.

  "I'll bee a pirate hunter, and wipe out these disgusting people, theoward South Blue!"

  "Roger's son, and his wife, must be saved!"

  Vaguely, Roger's cheerful smile appeared before Rojen's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile back.

  His elder brother had always been incredibly kind to him. Due to their age difference, Roger had often spoiled him. Despite this, they shared the same bloodlirue brothers by nature.

  Soon, Rojen's ship drew closer to the chaotic se ahead.

  His right hand ched tightly around the Rainbow Abyss, and a fsh of killing i appeared in his eyes. He then put on a mask.

  This mask had been made by the master from the isnd, and its design was based on the face of the Monkey King from his previous life's memories of the heavenly pace.

  Wearing the Monkey King mask and a bck robe, Rojen now embodied that image.

  "Seeing pirates like you really disgusts me!"

  The two ships were locked in a fierce battle, blood spilling everywhere. Suddenly, a dark voice came from behind them.

  The pirates immediately froze in shock, then turheir heads. Especially the female pirate leader, holding a rge machete, quickly looked toward the source of the voice.

  A small ship, with a figure standing at the bow, cloaked in bck, and wearing a monkey mask.

  "Get lost, I don't have time to deal with you!" Stary yelled fiercely.

  "The oh a 3 million bounty, Stary, you don't have time for me, but I have time to deal with you!"

  Rojen took out a Wanted Poster with his right hand and smiled lightly as he spoke.

  "Are you a bounty hunter?" Stary's expression ged at once.

  "You're correct. Too bad the reward is your head!"

  His face suddenly turned cold, and with a bend of his knees, Rojen leaped off 'The Logan' and in an instant, was among the fighting crowd.

  Stary became furious and waved her hand. "Kill him!"

  Immediately, over a dozen pirates ged their target and rushed towards Rojen with ons in hand.

  Rojen's eyes narrowed slightly, leaning forward as he murmured to himself.

  "You are my ticket to a good meal so all of you must die!"

  His voice suddenly grew menag, and his speed increased dramatically. He left behind a streak of light as he moved. With his sword fshiricity crackled in the air, and Rojen swiftly passed through the bodies of the pirates.

  "Whoosh!"

  A gust of wind swept through, halting the pirates' advance. Shod disbelief appeared in their eyes, mixed with a trace of fear.

  "Thud!"

  A spray of blood erupted, staining the deck red. All of the pirates colpsed to the ground without a sound.

  "Wow!"

  Such swift, brutal swordsmanship immediately stunned everyone present. The pirates were terrified, but the fighters from the civilian transport ship, who had been engaged itle, now wore expressions of relief.

  "You... who are you?" Stary shouted, her voice filled with terror.

  The swordsmanship dispyed had far surpassed her abilities.

  "If you're asking for my name," Rojen said softly, stepping forward and swinging his sword, pointing it toward the ground.

  "The me tell you."

  He moved closer to Stary, who couldn't eve in time. Her face twisted with pure fear.

  "My name..."

  With a twist of his sword, a dazzling aiful sword flower bloomed, the sound of the bde ringing through the air.

  "Swish!"

  The sword sliced through the air and headed straight for Stary's neck.

  "Sword Saint, Ge Nie!"

  "Thud!"

  Blood sprayed as Stary's head flew into the air.

  Without a moment's pause, Rojen took a step forward, reag the remaining pirates. With a horizontal sweep of his sword, a series of "pū pū" sounds rang out.

  In just two minutes, aire pirate crew was easily wiped out by him.
