Raise your glass and ignite the world of One Piece

There are not many people in the bathhouse on the island.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Wayne actually soaked in a bathtub after eating a devil fruit.

"Ah~~"

Wayne felt a sense of powerlessness that he had not felt in many years, which was quite novel.

"Uh……"

Karl, who was also an esper, was even more unbearable and almost drowned in the bath.

"Oh, ability users, this is just the trouble."

William sighed and pulled Karl's struggling head out of the bath:

"If you really can't stand it, go take a shower!"

"Both the president and the president are taking a bath in the bathing pool~~"

Karl lay weakly on the edge of the bathtub, his tongue sticking out:

"I, I also want to exercise..."

"Tsk, this feels really bad."

Wayne deeply felt the powerlessness of being a person with abilities and entering the water with his whole body.

Gathering water bodies such as baths, tanks, swimming pools, rivers and lakes are all considered "sea".

Submerging half of the body will cause the person with the ability to lose his strength.

This situation will become more serious if you soak in the bath for too long.

This is very important to note.

There are no baths on the Brewmaster, only showers, so I don’t think so.

In the past, he laughed at that guy Smoker, but now it was his turn.

Water falling from the sky, such as showers, rain, etc., will not affect those with abilities.

Wayne's personal experience also confirmed that when the body is immersed in water, it is not that the ability disappears, but that the ability is unable to be activated.

This feeling is very wonderful.

"President, what is going on on this island?"

Karl still couldn't forget what Wayne said before.

There were so many people in the tavern just now, but now there were only three of them in the bath. He couldn't help but ask:

"What mistake did the residents of the island make to be treated like this by the navy?"

Wayne felt the strange feeling of weakness in his body. Hearing this, he yawned loudly and stood up to sit on the edge of the bath.

If most of the body leaves the bathtub and only the legs are put in, the strength of the body returns immediately.

"Well, the Age of Discovery has begun, and the Pirate King was executed in the East China Sea, do you know?"

"Uh... of course!"

The answer was William. When he heard the name "Pirate King", Carl, who was almost drowning again, pulled him up to the edge of the bath, and then said thoughtfully:

"The New Year has just passed. Counting the time, it was about 17 years ago.

"Although we were in the South China Sea, what happened in the East China Sea shocked the whole world."

A complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he whispered:

"Gordo Roger, the Pirate King, even if he dies, he will turn the world upside down."

"Well, so what do you and the people around you think of Roger?"

Wayne was a little curious. He had been in the navy for the past ten years, and he had heard many people curse Roger when he was on missions.

But William and Carl have worked hard outside for many years, have been to many places, and have come into contact with many more people than Wayne.

What do they think?

"Roger, according to the World Government, even a 'demon' is nothing more than that."

William smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"Seventeen years ago, when I was a seven-year-old child, I could feel the fear that my family and neighbors had for him.

“When the navy caught him, people rushed to tell each other and cried with joy——

"But now it seems they were happy too soon."

"Well, the era of great pirates started by Roger has caused the number of pirates to skyrocket, and people's lives have also been threatened."

Wayne nodded slowly in approval. This was a fact that could not be erased no matter what Roger's purpose was.

"But you are wrong about one thing. Roger... surrendered."

"!!"

William and Karl, who had regained some strength, looked at Wayne dumbfounded.

Naturally, they would not doubt what Wayne said.

After arriving on the island, they also learned about Wayne's detailed deeds.

The report that his reward was revoked read:

[Former Vice Admiral Mark Wayne of the Navy Headquarters was killed by Navy Headquarters Admiral "Ao Pheasant" Kuzan for the blasphemous crime of killing the Celestial Dragons! 】

Lieutenant General of the Department, this is the rank marked on Wayne's last record in the Navy.

"how come……"

"In other words, if the Pirate King doesn't want to be caught by the navy, can he completely do it?"

"Yes."

Wayne slowly immersed his body in the bath again and let out a long breath:

"In fact, Roger disappeared a year before he surrendered.

"He lived as an ordinary person in the South China Sea, on the island of Batlila, for a year!"

"!!!"

William and Karl trembled.

It was as if this beautiful island had instantly become a devil's lair!

"After Roger surrendered, the World Government discovered his whereabouts during the year he disappeared, so after Roger was executed..."

Wayne's voice gradually deepened, making William and Karl shudder.

"At that time, the navy 'thoroughly' searched the island.

"Because someone witnessed Roger acting uncharacteristically like a 'father' here.

"Therefore, babies born within ten months after Roger was imprisoned, and women within ten months of pregnancy were all under strict supervision by the navy."

After a pause, Wayne still said those words:

"Anyone who has the slightest connection with Roger will be executed without exception!"

"..."

William and Karl gritted their teeth.

"Therefore, there are no teenagers aged [-] or [-] on Batlila Island. Even those who escaped by chance would never dare to continue living on this island."

Wayne glanced at William and Karl and said meaningfully:

"So now, what do you think of the navy?"

"..."

The two were speechless for a long time.

In order to prevent the spread of Roger's "devil" bloodline, the Navy may be said to have no choice but to kill the wrongdoer without mercy.

But what’s wrong with an unborn child?

There is an entire island filled with babies and pregnant women who are not of Roger's blood. What's wrong with that?

The navy can do this in order to stop the bloodline of the Pirate King from spreading.

So how many innocent people will they sacrifice to achieve other goals?

Those who were sacrificed...

What's wrong?

What if one day, the two of them are sacrificed?

"President, no wonder you want to quit the navy..."

After a long time, William smiled bitterly:

"This is a sin that cannot be washed away no matter what."

"Ah, setting foot on this island and seeing the situation here with my own eyes makes me even more convinced that I made the right choice."

Wayne walked out of the bath, dried his body, and walked to the locker room:

"Let's go, Karl is already so drunk that he almost fainted——

"Just a quick preparation, we're going to get down to business."

"To open the 'Ranhai Liquor Club', set a small goal first——

"Let it become the most famous wine club in the South China Sea!"

"It must be fine!"

William dragged Karl, who was almost melting, and quickly followed Wayne:

"It's just the president, you..."

He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and asked:

"Do you really plan to be a businessman forever?"

"Hehe, you think too much."

Wayne opened the door to the locker room and stepped in:

"Wine is my strength. When 'Ranhai Liquor Club' opens all over the world -"

"The sea can really be set on fire!"
