Chapter 1513: Roger's New Netherworld Journey!
Ninja World Pure Land.
On the shore at the mouth of the Eastern Underworld River.
Gol D. Roger looked at the 'Resurrected' Oro Jackson before him, filled with emotion.
"It's just like it!"
"So alike, I really didn't expect that after death, I could still see it, and would soon embark on a new adventure aboard it. It's just a pity..."
It was just a pity that although the ship had returned.
None of the familiar figures who used to wait for him on the deck had appeared.
This caused Roger's originally excited expression to dim.
He sighed deeply in his heart, "Rayleigh, Jabba, how great it would be if you were still here!"
But the Pirate King was the Pirate King after all; he quickly composed his emotions.
Turning to the two people who came to see him off, he grinned widely and spread his arms, issuing a warm invitation once again.
"Kagami, Mu, come on an adventure with me!"
Uchiha Kagami and Mu exchanged a look, feeling quite helpless. This was already the third time.
Ever since they had followed the Sage of Six Paths to the Pharmat Underworld, their relationship had deepened further.
"Roger, the reason the Sage of Six Paths didn't come to see you off is because the Ninja World is currently under invasion by Underworld Demons."
"At this time, as ninjas, it's impossible for us to leave with you. We must constantly guard the Pure Land, waiting to be summoned to the Ninja World when necessary, to jointly protect our world!"
Although Uchiha Kagami's temperament was gentle, his eyes at this moment were very firm.
"Eh——"
Roger sighed, looking at Mu. These two were among the few friends he had made here.
However, Mu, whose body was covered in bandages, replied:
"Sorry, I have no interest in sailing and adventure. Good luck."
This was the biggest difference in thoughts between ninjas and pirates.
What Roger cared about was adventure and freedom, but these were seen as unconventional by Uchiha Kagami and Mu.
Protecting the Ninja World, the village, family, friends, and juniors was the top priority.
And the reason they were willing to become friends with Roger.
Was actually because they valued the bond between Roger, Rayleigh, Jabba, and others.
They admired his courage to venture into the vast Underworld Sea, searching for a glimmer of possibility to resurrect these partners.
But they were confused by Roger's disregard for his living wife and son.
"Alright, then I'm off. See you if fate allows!"
Roger no longer persisted. Inviting them three times was enough.
It seemed his first crewmate would have to be found in another Netherworld.
He never worried that he would perish in the vast Underworld Sea.
Even without any soul coordinate, he believed he would definitely be able to smoothly find Netherworlds with people and water!
"Remember, the Yellow Spring Water on the ship can only be drunk by one person for at most one year..."
Uchiha Kagami looked at Roger's back as he turned and walked towards the Oro Jackson, reminding him.
He was still worried about Roger's upcoming fate.
The Sage of Six Paths had made it very clear that wandering directionlessly in the thick fog-filled Underworld Sea without a soul coordinate had a high probability of being exhausted to death.
Or being swept into it by a large wave, the soul completely melting into the Underworld Water.
It was even possible to encounter Fallen Evil Spirits that had adapted to the Underworld Sea environment and lived by devouring souls.
In short, it sounded even more dangerous than the Grand Line of the world.
"Alright, didn't he bring a Den Den Mushi?"
"Even if he really encounters a desperate situation, we'll know when he died..." Mu said with a slightly indifferent tone.
"Eh——"
Uchiha Kagami shook his head and didn't reply.
He silently watched the Oro Jackson sail out of the Underworld River, officially entering the incomparably dark and vast Underworld Sea.
Finally disappearing without a trace.
The Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, thus ventured into the Underworld Sea alone.
No one knew what his fate would ultimately be like...
On the deck of the Oro Jackson, Roger glanced at the Ninja World Pure Land getting further and further away.
He immediately withdrew his gaze, lay down on the lounge chair specially prepared for him, and casually placed his left hand behind his head, crossing his legs.
This was the same posture Rayleigh had when he and Roger first met back then.
Anyway, he didn't know where this ship would sail to, so there was nothing for him to operate. Drifting with the current, it all depended on luck.
On this dark and damp Underworld Sea surrounded by thick fog, it was impossible to calculate the specific time.
However, Roger, who was resting with his eyes closed, didn't care at all.
Anyway, if he didn't find a new Netherworld within a year, he would either die of thirst or jump into the sea himself for a quick end.
It was just that he didn't notice that, unknowingly, since some point.
The thick fog around the Oro Jackson was gradually receding, revealing the turbulent black waves on all four sides of the hull. Even the sound of waves became clearer.
But for Roger, the sound of waves was simply too familiar.
It wasn't until he heard other sounds and perceived a large presence.
He suddenly opened his radiant eyes.
After scanning around, an excited expression immediately appeared on his face.
Unconsciously, he seemed to have drifted to the shore of a new Netherworld!
But before he could be happy for a few seconds, dozens of huge birds with large body size, spreading black wings, but whose bodies were composed of bones, swooped down from the sky.
Roger raised an eyebrow. Without even drawing his waist blade, he swung his right hand forcefully towards the air.
A boom sounded.
In an instant, a visible wave of force was stirred up.
All the attacking bone birds were torn apart, clattering down into the black water.
But Roger's good mood was not affected by this.
He really didn't expect to be so lucky, arriving at the place after napping for a while.
First, he found a place to anchor the ship properly, noted down the position, and then walked alone towards the inland of this new Netherworld.
"Hey, there really are people!"
Not long after, Roger, who could no longer see the black water behind him, discovered many figures appearing ahead.
This made him very excited. He hurriedly quickened his steps, preparing to ask about the situation here.
And the commotion he caused again attracted the attention of those figures, who slowly turned around.
"Uh——"
Roger immediately stopped, looking in astonishment at those humanoid monsters whose skin was yellowish, without any hair, whose eyes and open mouths were empty, and who were emitting unintelligible roars while approaching him.
At the same time, his sharp Observation Haki made him notice that their sounds actually carried strange mental abilities, constantly trying to invade his consciousness.
The specific effect was unclear, as he was not affected.
But from their constant beckoning movements, as well as 'hearing' the repeated calls of 'Come here, come here' in their hearts.
Roger also roughly guessed.
He immediately drew his blade and swept away these monsters that emitted an unpleasant corpse stench.
Crucially, they didn't seem like objects he could communicate with normally.
"Looks like Kabaneri..."
Roger sheathed his blade, stroking his chin as he scanned the shattered wreckage on the ground.
Eh, at this moment, he missed Rayleigh even more. At least someone could help analyze.
【Rumble————】
Just then, continuous thunder suddenly sounded overhead.
Roger looked up in astonishment.
He discovered that the already dark sky was actually gathering a large amount of dark clouds at an extremely fast speed.
At the same time, a brilliant blue and white lightning bolt was generated and did not dissipate for a long time.
"That is..." Roger was about to speak.
But the next second.
Turbulent black whirlwind surged out around that lightning pillar, and the wind carried numerous red dots.
Under the effect of the black wind, those red dots flew all over the sky, and then fell down overwhelmingly like rainwater.
Roger's eyesight was incredibly sharp.
He saw at a glance that those red dots were bodies of the humanoid monsters he had just swept away!
Such an exaggerated scene made him a bit dumbfounded.
Does this Netherworld have this kind of climate called 'Zombie Rain'?
It's indeed more bizarre than the Grand Line...
【Buzz——————】
However, a dazzling white light suddenly bloomed dozens of meters above Roger and slowly descended towards his location.
"What is it this time again..." Roger was speechless.
"Eh, is it a sword?!"
He immediately discovered that what the white light surrounded was a sheathless, slender long sword with a white ball at the end.
Roger, as a swordsman, was naturally intrigued. This clearly wasn't an ordinary sword.
He immediately reached out and grabbed the sword hilt to prevent it from touching the dust on the ground.
But the moment he grabbed it, he perceived another presence and sound existing inside this sword.
Roger thought for a moment, then suddenly infused it with Conqueror's Haki.
In an instant, crackling red lightning rapidly darted on the slender sword body.
As expected.
This had an effect. The white light that had just disappeared actually bloomed again.
Roger discovered that this sword was absorbing his Conqueror's Haki, appearing very thirsty and impatient.
At the same time, the presence he felt was also growing vigorously, and the sound also became louder and louder.
Fortunately, the consumption was not very large, so he simply continued to pour in Conqueror's Haki.
Roger wanted to see what would happen.
Until the brightness of the white light reached its peak, streaks of seven-colored light appeared.
"Is it a person?!"
Roger looked at the figure, which was enveloped by the seven-colored white light and appeared very blurry, feeling very surprised.
He felt that this time he had encountered someone he could communicate with.
He hoped it was someone easy to get along with...
