"I'm very sorry, but that's impossible!"
The executing Marine refused without hesitation, but his tone was much weaker than before.
And when Roger said that, he was even more terrified, thinking Roger was going to break free from his handcuffs and escape.
"Hahahahaha, Loguetown is a great place, how could I possibly escape?"
Roger seemed to hear the executing Marine's inner thoughts and burst into laughter.
"Hey, Pirate King, where did you hide the treasure you got?"
Hearing Roger's laughter, the executing Marine became even more fearful. Just as he was about to carry out the execution, a sudden voice from the crowd below broke the solemn execution atmosphere.
"Shut your mouth!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru heard this and angrily rebuked the Pirate who spoke from below.
At the same time, a very ominous feeling suddenly rose in her heart.
"Hahahahaha, the Great Treasure of the Sea, ONE PIECES!"
Roger suddenly looked down at the crowd, as if waiting for this very sentence. The free and overbearing aura on his body surged.
But it was confined to a very small range, only affecting the two executing Marines, and not influencing anyone else.
At this moment, Roger's temperament was fully displayed. That overbearing, free, and unrestrained arrogance was completely revealed, showing people the true appearance of Pirate King Roger!
Even though he was about to die, he, Roger, was still fearless, showing no sign of the fear ordinary people have when facing death. Instead, there was an endless kingly might within his calmness!
"Executing Marines, execute immediately!!!"
Roger's words instantly made Vice Admiral Tsuru panic, and she immediately ordered the execution.
Not only Vice Admiral Tsuru, but Garp, Zephyr, and others also felt an ominous premonition. They seemed to realize that Roger's surrender was for this very moment!
However, it was already too late. The two executing Marines were intimidated by Roger and were unable to carry out the execution at all.
"Do you want my treasure?"
At this moment, Roger's face was excited, crazy, and filled with anticipation. Wasn't this the moment he was waiting for?
He was a very proud person, how could he be willing to quietly wait for illness to take his life.
He, Roger, was the Pirate King, and even if he died, he would never die in obscurity.
Before he died, he would stir up a Pirate craze in this World, shake the foundation of the World Government's rule, and create a turbulent World for the person he anticipated in the future, so that he could then challenge the ruler of this World in his place!
When Roger said this, almost all the Pirates and ambitious people around the World looked at Roger with extreme anticipation. They all wanted to know where Roger's so-called Great Treasure was.
The legendary Great Treasure, whoever could obtain it would get everything in the World. This was something countless people dreamed of, who wouldn't want to get it?
"If you want it, go get it! I've put everything in the World in that place!"
Roger's earth-shattering cry made most of the people in the crowd below feel their blood boil.
It was even broadcast live to the entire World, making who knows how many people around the World impulsively want to set sail to find the Great Treasure Roger spoke of because of this sentence.
"Pfft!!!"
It was at the moment Roger finished speaking that the two executing Marines drew their swords and killed Pirate King Roger.
But Roger didn't even frown, there was no hint of pain on his face. Even in death, his face maintained that classic smile.
It was at this moment that the entire scene fell silent again. Everyone was stunned in place, their minds constantly replaying the words Roger said before his death.
"Roar!!!!"
Immediately, deafening cheers rose, one after another.
Most of the people present were Pirates. Roger's words excited them greatly. Now they seemed to already imagine the moment they would obtain the Great Treasure, and they all cheered for themselves with excitement.
"Quickly cut off the den den mushi broadcast!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru immediately gave the order. She hadn't expected Roger's surrender to be for this moment. It was a live broadcast to the entire World, and if Roger's words spread, it would cause global turmoil.
However, Vice Admiral Tsuru's order was too late. Everyone around the World watching the live broadcast had already heard Roger's words.
Furthermore, when Roger said this, it was already spreading at an astonishing speed.
Major newspapers were already writing drafts, and it was believed that the next day, Roger's dying words would spread throughout the World.
"Wuwuwuwuwu, Captain!!"
Buggy, in a corner not far away, watched the dead Roger, crying with tears flowing like an unchecked faucet.
"Captain, I will definitely fulfill your expectations!"
Shanks, holding the straw hat in his arms, also cried with teary eyes.
"Is this your choice?"
Rayleigh stopped drinking, and tears also flowed from his eyes.
"gura rara rara, Roger, is this something you had to do even when you were about to die?"
On the Whitebeard Pirates ship, Whitebeard drank his sake, looking at the dead Roger with a complex expression. He and Roger had a good relationship, and he hadn't expected Roger to die in this way!
"Jie hahahahaha, Roger, you are indeed a Pirate. Although you weren't willing to give me the secret of the Ancient Weapon, dying in this way is worthy of your title as Pirate King!"
Flying Pirate, Golden Lion, upon hearing Roger's words before his death, immediately understood why Roger chose to die in this manner.
Previously, Reinhardt had gathered information about Roger's terminal illness, and he hadn't believed it, but linking it to Roger's dying words just now, he instantly understood.
Roger didn't want to die in obscurity, but chose to die a "glorious" death in this way.
Just as Golden Lion said, Roger was a Pirate. Dying in this way, in the hearts of these Pirates, was the best "Pirate King."
"Mama Mama, Roger, it's good that you're dead. You dared to steal Mama's Road poneglyph, this is your consequence!"
Charlotte Linlin's intelligence wasn't high. She couldn't understand the meaning of Roger's last words. She only knew that Roger was dead, so she was very happy.
"The Great Treasure is mine!!"
"Hahahaha, as long as I find the Great Treasure, I can have everything in the World!"
"I want to set sail to find the Great Treasure!"
"..."
Below the execution platform in Loguetown, after an outburst, almost all the Pirates went crazy. Amidst waves of cheers, they dispersed one after another.
Now they were impatient to go find the Great Treasure Roger spoke of before his death!
Seeing the rioting Pirates in the crowd, the Marines' faces turned dark.
They were clearly tricked by Roger, who used the power of the Marine and the World Government to stir up a Pirate storm before his death, driving the Pirates in this World completely insane.
"Vice Admiral Tsuru, I request permission to take action and capture all the Pirates in Loguetown in one go!"
Sakazuki, with a large cigar in his mouth, clenched his fists. The ground under his feet had turned into magma, looking like he was enduring to the extreme.
"Hahahaha, Tsuru, since these Pirates are so impatient, let us clean up the scum of the Sea!"
This time, Garp was also angered. He had always had a premonition that Roger's surrender wasn't right, but he never knew what was wrong. Now that he knew, he couldn't be happy at all, but was instead extremely angry!
"All Marines take action, clear out the Pirates in Loguetown!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru also showed great resolve and immediately issued the command.
"Great Eruption!!"
Sakazuki, who was already prepared, was the first to attack. His hands turned into magma, and magma fists flew out one by one, bombing the Pirates.
"The Marines are attacking, run!!"
"Mere Marines, dare to stop me from finding the Great Treasure, die!"
"Don't block the way, or I'll make you die horribly!"
"..."
As the Marines attacked, the Pirates also rioted. However, the Pirates here were mostly fighting individually and were not united. Many weaklings were killed by the Marines like chopping vegetables.
Especially the four monster Vice Admirals with Logia Devil Fruits, harvesting weaker Pirates was simply too easy.
"Hmm, the two apprentices from the Roger Pirates?"
Amidst the Pirate riot, Buggy and Shanks, with their child-like physiques, were unexpectedly conspicuous and caught Garp's attention.
"Garp, these two kids are my juniors, you can't disturb them from setting sail!"
Just as Garp was about to go capture Buggy and Shanks, Rayleigh's figure blocked Garp's path.
"I knew you remnants of the Roger Pirates would appear here. I'm definitely catching those two kids!"
When Garp saw Rayleigh appear, he raised his fist and punched.
"I'm protecting those two kids, Garp, you won't catch them!"
There were too many people here, and many Marines. Garp didn't use his full strength at all, and Rayleigh easily blocked Garp's punch.
"Marine Hunter Hawkeye Mihawk? Can't let him escape!"
Zephyr, seeing Hawkeye Mihawk trying to escape, immediately chased after him.
Hawkeye Mihawk was a well-known Marine Hunter in the West Blue. Because the Marine for some unknown reason put a bounty on Hawkeye once, Hawkeye then cut down several Marine bases and over a dozen warships, eventually earning the title of Marine Hunter.
Because of this title, Hawkeye was greatly resented by the Marine, and Marines often went to encircle and suppress Hawkeye. In the end, needless to say, they were all cut down by Hawkeye.
Zephyr also specifically remembered Hawkeye's appearance because several of the students he had personally taught were cut down by Hawkeye.
"Not good, we've been targeted!"
Seeing Zephyr looking towards them, Gaenie's Kenbunshoku Haki instantly detected extreme danger.
Although he had reached the Grand Swordmaster realm now, only his sword road realm was high. His physique, Haki, and Devil Fruit development could be said to be weak and unbearable. Facing Admiral Zephyr, he probably couldn't even block one punch.
