Vochuli Saint chimed in, "What can they do if they don't believe us? Without us, they would never have been able to find the Beasts Pirates."
Mazsan added jokingly, "Although we don't really have any solutions right now."
Mazsan's words only intensified the mocking smiles on the lips of the other four.
Pittor Saint couldn't help but sigh, "That kid Garin is ruthless. Roger raised his son for several years, but he showed no mercy when it came to ripping Roger off."
Nassshuro Sei thought it was normal: "That boy from the Figaland family has always been like this."
The other four stars nodded in agreement.
It wasn't their decision to add the Black Nose Pirates to the Seven Warlords of the Sea; it was Korin's suggestion.
The Black Nose Pirates have a grudge against the Beasts Pirates and also want the red Road Poneglyph in the hands of the Beasts Pirates.
They can be considered the best henchmen for the World Government to deal with the Beasts Pirates.
Although the Black Nose Pirates only have a few members, their fighting power is quite terrifying.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be ranked among the "Four Emperors".
Apart from the Beasts Pirates, even the other three "Four Emperors" cannot overpower them.
The addition of the Black Nose Pirates will not only bring the reputation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to its peak, but also share the pressure in the battle against the Beasts Pirates.
As for the red Road Poneglyphs that Roger actually possesses after finding and defeating the Beasts Pirates, he certainly wouldn't hand them over.
How could they possibly let Roger, a member of the "D. Clan," go to the final island?
Lord Im will be very angry, and the consequences will be severe.
After defeating the Beasts Pirates, they will also take care of the Roger Pirates.
Roger wasn't stupid, and naturally he wouldn't just do whatever the World Government said.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have hesitated to agree for so long.
They were forced to cooperate with the World Government because they had no other choice but to do so now that they were truly desperate.
Masei summoned a soldier and ordered him to publish the news of Roger joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the latest newspaper.
The soldier accepted the order, left the room, and immediately went to carry out the mission.
After the soldiers left, Massaint seemed to suddenly think of something interesting. "What do you think the Beasts Pirates' attitude will be if this newspaper is published?"
You should know that the "Four Emperors" were originally created by the Beasts Pirates, and now the World Government has poached one of them.
In a sense, this is a slap in the face to the Beasts Pirates.
Having worked together for many years, Mazsan didn't need to say much; the other four stars understood his meaning and couldn't help but wear a playful smile.
On the other end of the line, Roger hung up the phone, his right hand hanging limply at his sides.
Rayleigh and Jabba patted him on the shoulder on either side, laughing as they said, "Roger, whatever decision you make, we'll be there for you."
Having two partners who always believed in him and stayed by his side was Roger's greatest comfort at this time.
Roger's face lit up with a smile again, and he assured Rayleigh, "Rayleigh, once we find the Beasts Pirates, I will rescue Shakky for you as soon as possible."
Rayleigh, however, did not appreciate his gesture and instead jokingly replied, "I can handle things like rescuing a damsel in distress myself."
Roger and Jabba immediately thought of God Valley, where Rayleigh saved Shakky and they fell in love.
The two smiled at each other.
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha……"
The World Government was extremely efficient; soon, newspapers were distributed all over the world, causing a huge uproar.
The headline on the front page was: "The Black-Nosed Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, join the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
Lei Luo lay on the recliner, rocking gently, holding a newspaper in his hand.
Looking at the contents of the newspaper, Lei Luo's lips curled into a cold smile: "Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"
Chapter 203: A Sea of Curses
Around the world, there is a chorus of condemnation at this moment.
"The Black Nose Pirates are indeed the World Government's lackeys!"
"Hmph, need I say more? He gave up being one of the Four Emperors to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
Immediately, a very clever person jumped out and said:
"When I first watched Osawa's live stream, I felt something was off. I'd never heard of any conflict between the Beasts Pirates and the Black Nose Pirates. The Black Nose Pirates just inexplicably went and started a war with the Beasts Pirates!"
Someone sarcastically remarked, "The dog saw its owner being killed, so it panicked."
"I think so too!" Everyone nodded in agreement.
Some people who had dealt with Roger stepped forward to try and explain things for him:
"Not necessarily. The Black Nose Pirates have only joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea; they aren't necessarily lackeys of the World Government."
These people were immediately met with disdainful looks from those around them: "They've joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and they're still just lackeys of the World Government?!"
With just this one sentence, he silenced those who had spoken up for him.
To put it simply, the Black Nose Pirates are now also affiliated with the World Government.
When Hanafza became the first "Shichibukai", he was widely criticized as a lackey of the World Government.
Of course, Hanafza is not the same as Roger.
Hanafza is basically being criticized by pirates, who feel that a great pirate like him has the audacity to join the World Government.
People still vividly remember the scene when Roger and his crew came out to stop the Beasts Pirates from executing the Celestial Dragons.
This isn't just something pirates are cursing; it's more like the entire ocean is cursing, except for those they know and those they've helped.
On the deck of the Moby Dick.
The white-bearded man frowned, staring at the newspaper in his hand for a long time, still refusing to believe its contents.
Turning to Marco beside him, he asked, "Marco, this isn't a fake newspaper, is it?"
Marco smiled and nodded: "It's true, Dad. The World Government has withdrawn the bounties on the Black Nose Pirates."
After a pause, Marco added, "Besides, if Roger hadn't really joined, the World Government wouldn't have dared to publish this report. Otherwise, if Roger showed up and explained the situation, they would have been exposed. I don't think they would do something so shameful."
Whitebeard fell silent.
He wasn't unaware of what Marco was saying; he simply didn't want to believe that Roger had truly joined the World Government.
Roger was present during the God Valley incident.
Roger was also present when they were on Osawa Island.
Roger witnessed both of the Celestial Dragons' inhuman killing games firsthand.
So why did Roger, who had seen the true face of the World Government, still join the "Seven Warlords of the Sea"?
Is that still the Roger he knows?
Whitebeard casually handed the newspaper to his other sons, then looked out at the sea.
Although it's unclear why Roger joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Whitebeard, with his wisdom, could probably guess the reason.
The so-called red Poneglyphs in the hands of the Beasts Pirates!
He had already noticed Roger when he came to ask him for a drink.
Roger's desire to go to the final island had become an obsession.
After a long while, Whitebeard withdrew his gaze, sighed helplessly, and muttered to himself:
"Roger, Roger, in order to reach the final island, you've already gone so far as to cooperate with the World Government?"
"Is that final island really that important to you?"
The newspaper was handed to a chubby, dark-skinned boy.
The chubby little man glanced at the contents of the newspaper, a flash of hatred crossing his eyes, before quickly passing the newspaper to the others.
He, on the other hand, was all smiles and continued eating his cherry pie.
To outsiders, this chubby little man was as honest and simple as ever.
Lingling was eating dessert.
One Homie held up a newspaper, while another read its contents aloud to their Queen of Torrent: "Roger becomes the second 'Shichibukai'!"
"What did you say!" Lingling, who was eating dessert, paused in her actions.
He quickly swallowed the dessert in his mouth, then snatched the newspaper from Homie's hand and started reading it himself.
A moment later, Lingling burst into a strange, ambiguous laugh: "Mmm... Roger actually joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
"Interesting, interesting!"
"How interesting!"
Wang Zhi was furious, furious like never before.
"You damn Black Nose Hair, why didn't you stay a proper 'Four Emperors' and instead went and became one of the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea'?!"
Who knows how much this so-called "Four Emperors" really wanted to officially recognize him as an "undetermined" emperor?
As a result, he didn't cherish that damn black nose hair!
"Bang bang bang!"
Inside the room, Wang Zhi smashed things again, venting his anger.
Those outside the door were already used to it.
Every time something happens involving the "Four Emperors," their captain always smashes up the house.
This has become a regular feature of Beehive Island.
Inside the palace, Gloria Osa held a newspaper, looking at Roger's photo with a worried expression.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with Roger joining the "Seven Warlords of the Sea," at least Roger wouldn't be hunted down by the Navy anymore.
Being love-struck means that no matter what the other person does, she thinks it's right.
She was only worried about Roger's health and whether he would be able to fulfill his last wish.
South China Sea, Batelila Island.
The Black Nose Hair Pirates still reside here.
Roger himself explained why; he simply really liked the island.
Rayleigh and Jabba followed Roger's lead.
Moreover, the scenery on this island is indeed quite beautiful.
George was somewhat confused and occasionally muttered to himself, "What do you mean by uncovering the truth of history? Are you just going to retire here?"
Roger actually knew what George was thinking.
With his ability to hear the voices of all things and his Observation Haki, ordinary people like George were practically invisible to them.
But he didn't say anything.
First of all, George didn't have any bad intentions; he was just grumbling to himself.
Moreover, what he is doing now is indeed different from what he agreed to with George.
But there was nothing he could do!
To learn about history, you must go to the final island; to go to the final island, you must obtain the red Road Poneglyph from the Beasts Pirates.
But... where is he supposed to find the Beasts Pirates floating in the sky?
He can now place all his hopes on the World Government.
Roger and the others lived here just like four ordinary people.
Four months after their last call, Rayleigh received another call from Shakky.
