Pirates of my own way

Lu Chen opened the sea tower stone cage with his own hands, and then released Smoker.

Other marines were also able to untie their feet under Lu Chen's instructions and regain their weapons.

Lu Chen even actually invited Smoker to his boat and made Smoker a cup of tea.

Smoker held the teacup in his hand, but his eyes were still staring at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen smiled, picked up his tea cup and took a sip, "Don't worry, the tea is not poisoned."

Smoker took a sip of tea with a complicated expression, "I always feel that one day, I will regret my decision today."

Lu Chen shook his head, "No, on the contrary, one day, you will feel very happy for today's decision. Your current choice is the right one. And, if possible, I have a request and a suggestion."

"Oh?" Smoker, who temporarily agreed not to report to the Navy Headquarters, seemed to have had a certain burden removed from his heart. He was still a little curious about Lu Chen's words.

Once a person really makes up his mind and makes a decision, it is like the huge boulder in his heart is instantly removed, and the previous entanglement is no longer there.Before today, no one would believe that Smoker could have a calm conversation with a pirate.

"A request, I want to visit Rogge Town. Of course, if you agree, I would also like to open a few shops in Rogge Town, and how much tax I would like to pay, you have the final say! As for the suggestion, I will wait until you agree. We will discuss your request later," Lu Chen said.

"That's no problem. I'll go back to Rogge Town later, and you can follow me back." Smoker waved his hand, as if to say a trivial matter.

This time it was Lu Chen's turn to be a little surprised, "You agreed so readily. Could it be a fraud? Is there any power lurking in Rogge Town that can kill me?"

Smoker laughed loudly, "That can only be verified if you go there in person. How about it, Captain Lu Chen, I agree to your request, will you go or not later? Also, tell me your suggestions."

Lu Chen stood up and said, "Wait for me for 10 minutes, I will make some arrangements, and then we will go to Rogge Town with you. As for the suggestion, let me keep it a secret. I will elaborate on it after visiting Rogge Town."

Smoker folded his arms in front of his chest, leaned back on the chair, and returned to his previous careless look, "Okay, just move faster."

...

"We're here, where do you want to go first?" After a long voyage, the Arakaze Pirates' ship and the Rogue Town Navy's ship arrived at Rogue Town together. The person who asked the question was surprisingly the Rogue Town Navy. Sir, Smoker.

Different from the villages and towns controlled by Lu Chen, as the bridgehead from the East China Sea to the Grand Line, and as the execution place of the largest pirate leader in the past, Rogge Town's area, population, business, etc. are far larger than other villages and towns in the East China Sea. .

It is said to be a town, but in fact it can be regarded as a city.

In response to Smog's question, Lu Chen jumped off the boat, stepped onto the land of Rogge Town, and replied: "Of course I'm going to see the most famous place in Rogge Town first. You don't have to follow me all the time, right?"

Smoker sneered, "Rogg Town is my land, I can do whatever I want. I tell you, in Rogg Town, wherever you go, I will follow you!"

The scene of the two standing very close and talking was witnessed by many people. Lu Chen even saw someone whispering to him and Smoker in some corners.

Smoker is naturally known to everyone in Rogge Town, but the navy ship and pirate group at the Rogge Town base arrived together. Smoker even seemed to have a good chat with a pirate, but it made many people feel disappointed. Got glasses.

"Isn't it going to cause you any trouble?" Lu Chen asked.

Smoker walked in front, and when he heard Lu Chen's question, he didn't look back, "Are you still afraid of causing trouble to me? You are my biggest trouble! Walk faster!"

Lu Chen followed with a smile, followed by the officers of the Arakaze Pirates.

Half an hour later, Lu Chen finally saw the place he wanted to see most when he came to Rogge Town on this trip.

Square, execution platform.

"Do you have that kind of ambition?" Seeing Lu Chen staring at the execution platform, Smoker asked in a deep voice. He had been in Rogge Town for many years and he had seen too many ambitious pirates. Just in the square, In front of the execution platform, he didn't know how many pirates he had caught.

Every pirate who comes to Rogge Town will come to the execution platform.Standing in front of the execution platform, it seems that you can see the pirate leader who is still laughing wantonly even before death. Under everyone's gaze, he utters those few declarations that turned the whole world upside down.

Smoker even submitted multiple written applications requesting the dismantling of the execution platform. This place has become an attraction and has inspired many careerists.

Lu Chen was silent for a moment, "If Roger is referring to wealth and treasures, I'm not interested. I can get more of those things from other places."

As he spoke, Lu Chen's body disappeared. A moment later, a gust of wind passed by, and his figure appeared on the execution platform.

For the wide and flat square, the execution platform is the highest point, with excellent sight lines. Standing on the execution platform, you can have an unobstructed view of the entire square.

Lu Chen's mood was a little complicated. This was the end of an era and the beginning of an era.And he does not belong to this world.

But he is here, even though he can't help himself, he must go on, for himself and for the people under his command, whether it is the Arakaze Pirates, the villages and towns he controls now, or the number of people who will continue to increase in the future. of people and territory.

The tide of the times has set off, and he has also hung up the pirate flag and gone to sea. Roger's few words will inevitably be affected as long as he is in this world, no matter where he is or who he is.

After standing quietly for a long time, Lu Chen said to Smoker, who was also standing on the execution platform: "My advice to you is to turn your gaze beyond the East China Sea, to the Grand Route, to countries with rich populations, commerce, and technology. Well. Even I can hide under your nose in the East China Sea for a long time. In those places, countless careerists who are stronger, more ruthless, and more evil than me are ready to move, and they are even carrying out their plots at this moment. Don't Spending time in the East China Sea, if you firmly believe in the so-called justice of the navy, then the navy will need your strength one day. Especially, as far as I know, the difference between the navy and the navy is sometimes greater than the difference between the navy and pirates."

Smoker clenched his fists and sucked most of the cigar in his mouth. He exhaled all the smoke in one breath and stared ahead, which was the direction of the great shipping route. "I can safely hand over the East China Sea." You?"
