One Piece: Peace Shattered By Roger (Completed)

The flames of destruction have been extinguished by the intervention of justice, but just when everything is calm, what kind of disaster is brewing?

The desolate sunset, along with the pirate ships on the horizon, disappeared without a trace.

Later, the Dark Night will appear domineeringly as an aloof force. This is a natural step that no one can stop, just like everyone's life cannot be interfered with by outsiders.

Kaizen looked at Enel, who had finished eating the Devil Fruit. The gears of fate had begun to turn. Everything was in place, just waiting for the moment to rush into battle.

With the dust settled, the thieves gone, and their homes in ruins, the villagers slowly walked out onto the streets, despair written on their faces.

Destruction is like a willful child. You find it annoying, but there is no way to punish it, because it is destruction itself, and destruction is its duty.

"This is the man who attracted the pirates. He is the beacon that guides the devil. He is the culprit of this disaster!"

People pointed at Kaizen and used unwarranted abuse to release the anger that had no outlet.

"It was he who saved us and helped us drive away the pirates. This fact happened right before our eyes!"

But there were also those who spoke in a deep voice, broken by emotion.

"Well, tell us, those easy-to-deceive people, what your intentions are."

Everyone looked at Kaizen, with sadness, anger, gratitude, and sympathy in their eyes.

Kaizen raised his head and took a deep breath. Night had fallen quietly without realizing it.

In the end, people did not thank Kaizen, nor did they blame him. They chose to ignore their remaining feelings.

"Let's go have a drink!" The middle-aged man walked up to Kaizen, his expression as calm as ever. He was truly a man who had experienced life's storms, unaffected by the current situation.

The two sat on the grass on the street, and the middle-aged man immediately took out two bottles of rum.

Drinking amidst the smell of gunpowder smoke, this is what life truly tastes like.

"I hate pirates," the middle-aged man said after a sip of wine.

"Yeah," Kaizen responded as he drank.

"Except for Roger, I hate all those so-called maritime overlords, including Whitebeard and others." The man spoke firmly and confidently.

"Have you ever dealt with Roger?" Kaizen asked.

"He once saved my life," the man replied.

"Really? But he made things difficult for me." Kaizen smiled lightly, with no complaint in his voice.

"And I'm very sorry for him." The middle-aged man still harbors feelings for Roger, unable to let go of the betrayal for redemption.

"Hahahaha! It's really interesting, both Roger and you are interesting."

After Kaizen finished speaking, he drank the rum with a cheerful mood.

"Roger cannot be called a pirate or the Pirate King. He's more like an adventurer and a wayward child. Even at his execution, he was teasing the world with his mischief."

The man saw it thoroughly and spoke clearly.

"He really turned the world upside down!" Kaizen said with interest.

"What about you? Are you going to turn this world upside down?" the man asked casually.

"Why do you ask?"

"I see the same qualities as Roger in you," the man said sincerely.

"Hahahaha! Roger is Roger, and I am me. I have my own path to follow. I have no intentions of turning the world upside down right now. However, an unstable element has been born. In the near future, he is destined to influence the world's pattern."

Kaizen smiled confidently, with an enigmatic charm.

"But there are always times when you can't help it. I've seen many drift away from their ideals."

The man said to Kaizen tentatively, testing his resolve.

"I won't make any grand promises; they mean nothing." Kaizen responded with his own unique answer.

"I spoke too arrogantly, and now I feel deflated, hahahaha," the man laughed at himself.

"It's nothing," Kaizen replied politely, smoothing over the gaps in the man's words.

The night grew darker, and pedestrians came and went on the street, busy saving their homes.

"Where will you go next?" the man finally asked.

"Who knows, this ocean is vast. There will always be a place for me."

Kaizen looked frankly at the sea, shrouded in darkness.

"Let's go. That trivial life is still waiting for me." The man picked up the empty bottle and walked back.

He is also someone who doesn't like to say goodbye, Kaizen thought, watching the figure disappear into the darkness.

The small wooden house on the beach stood alone, like a quiet and sensible child.

Kaizen carried the sleeping Enel on his back and slowly walked toward the cabin. The moonlight illuminated their path.

This journey was a bit difficult.

After placing Enel on the bed, Kaizen exited the cabin alone.

He sat on a stone at the door, cross-legged, supporting his cheek with his hand, looking at the sea shimmering under the moonlight.

Listening to the sound of the waves, rising and falling, has a rhythm that cannot be broken and is a comfort.

How should I say goodbye to Enel?

He pondered this question over and over. Although they had only been together for a few days, he got along very well with this little guy, who was also his savior.

"I really want to watch him grow up and prevent him from becoming that arrogant god. This might be a good idea."

Kaizen thought this, but then smiled and shook his head.

"His growth should not be guarded by me."

He knew he should not interfere with the growth of any character. It would only satisfy his own desires, which he had no interest in doing.

"Just be yourself! When you become a b*****d, someone will take care of you for me, hahahaha!"

Kaizen muttered to himself naturally.

"Who are you talking to?" Enel's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Kaizen turned around and saw him rubbing his eyes, standing at the cabin door.

"Why are you awake? Up to pee, right?" Kaizen looked at Enel with a teasing face.

"That's not it!" Enel said, walking over and sitting next to him, cross-legged like him.

"You're leaving, aren't you?" Enel said unceremoniously in an adult tone.

Kaizen smiled and looked into the distance without speaking.

"I know that as a man, you have to go to sea to see what's out there. Going to sea is your only choice. Am I right?" Enel was assertive, like a little tiger showing its power.

"Hahahaha!" Kaizen laughed heartily.

"Be serious. Don't think I don't understand just because I'm a child. It makes me sad when you underestimate me." Enel crossed his arms, eyes firmer than ever.

"Sorry," Kaizen said seriously.

"You can leave if you want. Don't worry about me. I've been alone from the start. I've been very happy these days, and that's enough."

Tears welled up in Enel's eyes.

He seemed to know from the start that this encounter would end, maintaining a willful and indifferent attitude until the separation, when all collapsed.

"Kid, you'd better tell the truth! I can see through your pretense! I really can't play along with you."

Kaizen placed his hand on Enel's head, seeing through his thoughts.

"You b*****d, I really hope you can stay with me because it's so happy to be with you."

Enel rushed into Kaizen's arms, grabbing his clothes tightly, tears flowing, staining the entire night.
