"I, the captain of the Roger Pirates, Gol D. Roger, hereby officially announce that the Roger Pirates are officially disbanded!"

"Cough cough cough...."

As soon as Roger finished speaking, he suddenly coughed violently, his face instantly turned pale, and he removed the hand covering his mouth. The blood in his palm looked so thrilling!

"captain!"

"Roger!"

"..."

Seeing this, everyone who was sitting aside suddenly couldn't sit still and gathered around him, looking at Roger with worried faces. Instead, Roger smiled bitterly and waved his hands to indicate that nothing happened.

Although everyone was very worried about Roger, seeing the determination in Roger's eyes, they couldn't say anything more and turned around and sat back in their seats.

"Captain, your condition has worsened again?" Chu Han frowned slightly and asked in concern.

Scenes like this, during the three months of escape, Chu Han had seen Roger many times. He didn't know if fighting with Garp and Sengoku aggravated the condition. At the beginning, Roger was only three days and one hour old. Coughing, and rarely coughing up blood.

However, since the last battle, Roger's condition seems to have become more serious. He coughs almost every day, and coughs up blood frequently. He has lost a lot of weight, like an aging lion. The fierce appearance cannot hide the fact that he is about to die.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just a slight cough." Roger shook his head and smiled cheerfully, seemingly unconcerned.

"How can this be done, Captain? Why don't you ask Dr. Crocus to take a look at you?" Shanks said anxiously, then turned to look at Crocus who was sitting on the side, and begged: "I'm sorry to bother you, Uncle Crocus, please help the Captain first." Go back and rest”

But to Shanks's surprise, as the doctor on the Pirate King's ship, Crocus did not move. Instead, he looked at Shanks with a wry smile and said, "I'm sorry, Shanks, although I really want to listen to your advice, but Roger has done it before. I have been ordered to die. I will never be allowed to interfere before this meeting is over. I have to obey the captain’s orders."

"But...but!" Shanks was anxious and wanted to say something but couldn't find a reason. He had to turn his eyes to Rayleigh, hoping that he would speak, but before Rayleigh could speak, Roger started to speak.

"Okay, Shanks, you don't have to be like this. I know my body. Although it looks very serious, I won't die for a while." Roger smiled heartily:

"Besides, our meeting this time is to discuss the disbandment of the pirate group. You always focus on my body. Are you making a mistake?"

After the words fell, the restaurant fell silent. Everyone did not answer Roger's words and fell silent. The sad expressions on their faces could no longer be concealed, and the atmosphere suddenly became dead and dull.

"Uncle Crocus, how is the captain's health? You'd better tell me." Seeing this, Chu Han frowned slightly, knowing that being silent was not the answer, so he spoke first.

Crocus sighed and said: "Roger's body is already extremely ill. It is estimated that he only has about half a year left."

"What? Half a year!"

"Yes, how could it only be half a year? Uncle Crocus, are you mistaken?"

Everyone exclaimed, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. Although Roger was coughing up blood, he still looked very mighty and majestic. Not long ago, he could fight Marine Admiral Sengoku. At this time, they were told that Roger only had half a year to live. No one will believe it.

"Although, I also hope that I am wrong, it is indeed the case, and half a year is still the best estimate. If the condition worsens, the captain may not be able to survive even half a year." Crocus shook his head and sighed.

"How could this happen?" Shanks exclaimed in disbelief, as if all his strength had been drained from his body, he slumped down and lost his mind.

"Isn't there any way?" Chu Han frowned slightly, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Crocus shook his head helplessly, indicating that he was helpless and there was nothing he could do.

Seeing this, everyone fell silent again, lowered their heads with gloomy expressions, and Shanks and Buggy couldn't even control themselves and sobbed softly.

"Hahaha!"

At this moment, Roger's heroic voice sounded again, breaking the dull atmosphere.

"Why are you all looking so sad? I'm not dead yet. It won't be too late for you to cry when I die." Roger laughed, then touched Shanks' straw hat and said with a smile, "Okay, Shanks, As a man, you can't show such a girly expression, and you are wearing my straw hat and threatening to surpass my man!"

"If you are a man, no matter how big the difficulty is, you should face it with a smile, right?"

"But...but" Shanks looked sad and hesitated to speak. Then he remembered something and stopped mentioning it. Instead, he said in a deep voice: "Captain, you really decided to disband the pirate group, why? "

"Because, I am the Pirate King!" Roger smiled heartily: "Whether it is the Grand Line or the four seas, I have conquered them all. As a pirate, I have reached the top and I have no regrets!"

"But you are different. You are still young and you still have a long way to go. Your future achievements may not exceed mine, so I can't drag you down. You should be free to chase your dreams!"

"But..." Shanks said with a sad face: "But, wouldn't it be nice to let us accompany you for the last time? Why do we have to disband the pirate group at this time?"

"Okay, Shanks" Rayleigh said suddenly, seriously: "Roger is the captain, and we as crew members should support every decision he makes. You..."

"Okay, Rayleigh" Roger waved his hand to interrupt Rayleigh's words, turned to look at Shanks, and said with a smile: "Shanks, this is not a question of whether to accompany me or not, and what if you stay with me for the rest of the time? Are you watching me get worse day by day, become thinner, and finally die on the bed?"

"Shanks, I am the king! The Pirate King! How could there be such a useless way to die? So in the days to come, I have to choose my own life!"

Everyone was silent looking at the proud Roger. At this moment, they all understood, including Chu Han.

This is the real Roger!

A real pirate, the pirate king who has been chasing the dream of freedom all his life. He is a lion, he is an eagle, he is free, he can freely control his own destiny, even if it means the way he dies!

In the near future, he will die with a smile under the attention of the whole world, using his own blood to open an era of freedom, leading people to continue to pursue their dreams.

That era is called...the Age of Discovery!
