One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 275 Roger's Resurrection

Rorschach nodded, opened his arms, and the Anywhere Door instantly appeared in front of them.

Just as Whitebeard was about to step inside, Rorschach stopped him, saying, "Hey, old man, you're saying you're going to Loguetown in this state?"

"You're not afraid of death, but I am. What if they mistake me for an accomplice?"

"You're so tall, do you think the navy are stupid?"

Whitebeard paused for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Kid, you have a point. So, what do you think we should do?"

Rorschach's eyes darted around. "I don't have any more of those masks left for Ace, so you and your son will have to stay here."

"I'll come back to you after I bring Roger back to life."

After saying that, Rorschach turned and glared at Whitebeard. "Hey, Whitebeard, don't even think about running away. I resurrected you!"

Whitebeard snorted, "Boy, do you think I'm such a person who doesn't keep his word?" Only then did Luo Xia nod in satisfaction.

"In that case, Ace, put on your mask, and let's get ready to go!"

Ace obediently put on the mask, and during this time Rorschach took out a Tremor-Tremor Fruit from his spatial storage and threw it to Whitebeard.

"Whitebeard, this is for you!"

Whitebeard took the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, his face full of surprise: "You brat, you actually have something like this."

Rorschach scoffed, "Look at you, so naive. I have plenty of these kinds of fruits. You should recover your strength first." With that, he led Ace through the Anywhere Door.

After arriving in Loguetown, Rorschach and Ace emerged from an alley.

This was also to avoid attracting attention; otherwise, Rorschach would have simply set the execution platform as the target location.

As he walked through the streets of Loguetown, Rorschach's palms constantly emitted a grayish-white light, leaving no place untouched.

Ace asked curiously, "Boss, what should we do next?"

Rorschach said in a low voice, "Anyway, we can't ask about Roger, otherwise the navy stationed here will get the news immediately."

"Although the labor and management are both lieutenant generals, they can't attract too much attention."

The two continued walking down the street, and soon they arrived at the center of the square, where there was a conspicuous execution platform.

"I didn't expect the Marines here to be so competent. Luffy destroyed this execution platform back then."

When they arrived at the execution platform, people were coming and going around them. Rorschach closed his eyes, trying to sense the lingering atmosphere.

Soon, just as Rorschach expected, the familiar voice rang out: [Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Roger's Soul Power x2]

The intermittent sounds kept Luo Xia busy, and the system's voices lasted for about five minutes before finally stopping.

Furthermore, Roger's soul power has now risen to ninety, just ten short.

This put Luo Xia in a great mood; he hadn't expected things to go so smoothly this time.

Just as Rorschach was secretly pleased, a group of naval soldiers surrounded them. The leading officer shouted, "What are you two doing here, sneaking around like this?"

Rorschach remained calm and crossed his arms, replying, "I was just passing by and took a look at the execution platform."

"But don't you, the colonel from Loguetown, recognize me?"

The colonel carefully examined Luo Xia, his expression changing slightly. "So you are Lieutenant General Luo Xia. My apologies for not recognizing you. However, this place is rather special, so please do not linger here for too long, Lieutenant General."

Rorschach nodded. "Understood."

After the navy left, Ace whispered, "Boss, what do we do now?"

Rorschach looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, and said, "Almost there!"

"By the way, do you know where Roger's tombstone is?"

Ace was taken aback. "Boss, I'm not quite sure."

Luo Xia sighed helplessly, "Looks like we'll have to look for it."

Suddenly, Luo Xia's eyes lit up. He realized that he might be able to use the system to help him search.

So he silently called on the system in his mind, and the system prompted that a certain amount of Berries would be required to search.

Rorschach considered the alluring prospect of Roger's impending resurrection, gritted his teeth, and agreed.

With a flash of light, the system displayed a direction.

Rorschach grabbed Ace and hurriedly ran in that direction.

It was deep in a quiet forest, where a simple tombstone stood.

Rorschach approached the tombstone, which bore only the inscription "Tomb of Roger".

But perhaps because the handwriting is so ugly, people with poor eyesight really can't see it.

It must have been erected by someone, and this is the Pirate King, a man who was publicly executed back then. How could the Navy possibly allow him to have a tombstone erected?

At this moment, the system issued another notification: [Ding! A large amount of Roger's soul power remnants have been detected. Do you want to collect them?] Rorschach chose yes without hesitation.

In an instant, the light shone brightly, and Roger's soul power was quickly replenished, reaching one hundred.

Rorschach was thrilled; he knew he would soon witness the resurrection of the great Pirate King.

Rorschach grinned, and with a wave of his hand, the Anywhere Door appeared. Ace and Rorschach strode into the Anywhere Door.

The two reappeared where Whitebeard had been.

Whitebeard exuded a powerful aura, clearly indicating that the Tremor-Tremor Fruit had restored much of his strength.

Rorschach eagerly walked to the center of the open space, his palms outstretched. After a dazzling flash of light, a figure gradually appeared.

Roger slowly opened his eyes, and was stunned by the scene before him: "Where...where am I?"

Rorschach smiled and said, "The Pirate King... Roger, I've heard so much about you. This is the hometown of that old man Whitebeard."

Roger looked around and saw Whitebeard and Marco, but he didn't recognize Ace because Ace was wearing a mask.

Roger's face lit up with surprise. "Whitebeard, long time no see! And you, little fellow! As for this gentleman... hello handsome!"

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Roger turned his gaze to Rorschach, his eyes filled with confusion: "Who are you? Why did you resurrect me?"

Rorschach shrugged: "My name is Rorschach, a current vice admiral in the Navy. As for combat strength, I'm probably much stronger than an admiral."

Roger raised an eyebrow. "Vice Admiral? Then why did you revive me, a pirate?"

Rorschach smiled and said, "I want to change some things, and you are the key person."

Roger laughed loudly. "Interesting. So what do you want me to do?"

Rorschach's eyes turned serious. "I want you to join my G5 branch. Perhaps one day I will overthrow the World Government."

Roger stroked his chin and thought for a moment. "That's an interesting idea."

Whitebeard then stepped forward, saying, "Roger, this kid is strange, but his abilities are truly amazing."

Roger nodded in agreement. "So, where do we begin?"

Rorschach shrugged. "No rush. What we need to do now is revive you."

"I thought you would refuse to be resurrected, but I didn't expect you to agree. This is a pleasant surprise."

Despite saying all that, Rorschach's hands didn't stop moving at all; he splashed the life potion at Roger.

After Roger was given the life-giving potion, his body emitted a soft glow, and his previously faint aura gradually filled up.

What was originally a soul form has become a physical entity.

He stretched his muscles and felt the surging power within him.

"Haha, this feels pretty good," Roger laughed.

Rorschach breathed a sigh of relief. "Now that you've been fully resurrected, that's good news for me."

Whitebeard stepped forward and punched Roger hard. "You bastard, you've actually come back to life too, gurar ...

Roger looked at the laughing whitebeard and asked in confusion, "You were also resurrected, weren't you?"
