One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 374: The Dawn of the Old Era!

The scorched earth of Egherd.

Heavy footsteps came from behind the door.

navy.

Pirates.

The Five Elders.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two figures that were becoming clearer and clearer.

The person on the left came out first.

A man, wearing a red captain's overcoat.

Two black, curved mustaches.

This face is depicted on countless wanted posters.

He had a broad chest, wheat-colored skin, and a smile on his face.

A confident smile that can illuminate an era and cannot be erased even by death.

He just stood there.

A wind called "freedom" swept across the entire battlefield.

One Piece.

Gol D. Roger.

The person on the right also came out.

This man exuded an extreme fighting spirit that sent chills down one's spine.

Her long, wildly frizzy hair resembled burning black flames.

Those eyes belong to a demon.

The former maritime overlord.

Lox D. Giebeck.

And what's even more frightening is...

Everyone present could feel it!

They are all at their peak.

It is a kingly fighting force that can make the world tremble at its feet.

This moment.

Time stopped.

The wind has died down.

The rain stopped.

Roger and Rocks stood side by side.

This scene is enough to shock anyone.

"Gurala la la la..."

Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, trembled uncontrollably as he held the Murakumogiri in his hand.

A hint of bewilderment flashed in the eyes of this "world's strongest man," eyes that had seen the vicissitudes of life.

He stared at the two familiar figures, the veins on the back of his hand gripping the knife bulging, his lips trembling.

"It really is Roger..."

"And that bastard Rocks..."

One of them was his former captain.

One was his lifelong nemesis and best friend.

The battles of God Valley, the wine under the cherry blossoms, and the countless battles on the high seas.

Scenes flashed wildly through his mind.

Meanwhile, Shanks, the red-haired man, reacted even more strongly.

After he saw Roger.

This emperor, who reigns over the new world, this usually composed man, has completely lost his composure.

The famous sword "Griffin" in his hand drooped down.

All his strength was drained away.

He staggered forward half a step.

"Captain Roger...?"

Shanks' voice trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Although he was already one of the Four Emperors.

But in front of Roger, he reverted to the little brat who used to wipe the decks on the ship, wearing a straw hat and crying.

"I never thought I'd see Captain Roger again."

Shanks choked up.

The longing that had been building up for decades finally burst forth.

The pirates were shocked.

The world government, on the other hand, has fallen into an abyss of panic.

The Five Elders' faces were ashen.

Upon seeing the two men, she was doused with a bucket of ice water.

Satan Saint's massive bull-demon body trembled uncontrollably.

He took two steps back in despair, his enormous claws crushing the rocks.

He stared intently at the two figures, his voice hoarse.

"Those two awful guys!"

As monsters who have lived for hundreds of years, they know best what these two names mean.

Roger ushered in the Great Pirate Era, causing headaches for the government for twenty years.

Rocks, who nearly brought down the Celestial Dragons at God Valley, is the government's deepest nightmare.

"Things are completely out of control!"

The legal warrior, Vochuli Saint, gritted his teeth, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"That madman Chen Ye... he actually brought those two guys here!"

At this moment, Kizaru's expression was also extremely grim!

"Hey, this is going to be a difficult situation."

Kizaru turned his head with a wry smile and said to Sentomaru, who was equally dumbfounded beside him.

His tone was full of helplessness, and he even wanted to hand in his resignation letter immediately.

"I might actually be charged with a work-related injury this time."

"How do you fight legendary monsters like Roger and Rocks?"

"Just by standing there, my light particles are trembling."

"Mr. Kizaru, don't joke around... This is the strongest pirate in the textbooks."

The arrival of Roger and Rocks stirred up a huge wave.

The line between friend and foe has become blurred.

The navy forgot to fire.

The pirate forgot to swing his sword.

Hatred and fighting were thrown to the back of their minds.

All that remained in the world was awe and fear.

In deathly silence.

Roger moved.

He did not attack.

He ignored the stares of those around him.

He stepped out the door, stood on the land of Egherd, and took a breath of the present air.

"call--"

Roger closed his eyes, looking completely absorbed.

"Ah...this taste is so familiar!"

"Is this the air of the future? Even though it's mixed with the smell of gunpowder, it still evokes such nostalgia!"

As he spoke, he stretched out a big yawn.

His bones cracked and popped like thunder.

Only then did he notice that there was another person next to him.

Roger turned his head.

Their gazes fell on the man who exuded a dark aura.

The next second, his eyes lit up.

His face showed the joy of reuniting with an old friend.

"Oh my! Isn't that Rocks?"

Roger pointed at Rocks and shouted exaggeratedly, showing no sign of tension in the face of a formidable enemy.

"You're here too? Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing that familiar yet disgusting voice, Rocks turned his head.

His wildly flowing hair began to move on its own.

Those fierce eyes were fixed on Roger.

His lips slowly parted to reveal a cruel, wild, and excited smile.

"Ha ha ha! Roger!"

Rocks' voice was like the hooting of an owl, piercing and penetrating.

"It's been so long! I never thought I'd be standing next to you, you bastard!"

"This is so nostalgic, and it makes me tremble with excitement!"

"Hahaha! Don't say that!"

Roger laughed heartily, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.

"Now that we're back, let's cause one last big ruckus! Just like back in God Valley!"

"Don't order me around, Roger!"

The red light in Rocks' eyes surged, and his dark and domineering aura instantly boiled over.

"I'm going to be the king of the world! But... before that, it wouldn't hurt to get rid of this eyesore of trash first."

The auras emanating from the two collided violently the moment their eyes met.

No action was taken.

It was merely a clash of energies and a battle of wills.

boom!

A bolt of black and red lightning appeared out of nowhere and exploded between the two.

That was the highest level of Conqueror's Haki crushing each other.

Visible cracks appeared in the surrounding space.

The earth is groaning.

The clouds in the sky were torn in two, revealing the pitch-black void.

Just a glance was enough to change the world.

Chen Ye stood not far in front of the two, his hands still in his pockets.

The domineering storm, powerful enough to crush ordinary people, blew through his hair.

He watched this scene unfold.

Looking at these two peak powerhouses who dominated their respective eras.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

That was the director's satisfaction as he watched the grand opening of the show.

"That's right."

Chen Ye murmured to himself, his voice filled with a mix of teasing and anticipation.

"The actors are all here, the lights are on. The Five Elders, and Im... I hope you can handle this... revelry from the old days."
