Invitation

---

Not expecting Roger to invite him directly, Rono was very surprised.

When he found someone on the road and invited him to be his partner, Rono didn't think he had the guts.

What if the invitation was to an ordinary person without talent or with different aspirations?

This style of behavior is similar to that of Luffy.

However, in the face of Roger's invitation, Rono clearly refused.

He and Roger had different ambitions, and he aimed to destroy the Celestial Dragons.

In the future, Roger and Garp also saved the Celestial Dragons in the Valley of the Gods. He was likely to become an opponent in the future. How could he join his opponent?

Of course, if Roger was required by the captain's requirements, then Roger was undoubtedly a perfect captain, and he was definitely ten times better than Rocks.

When encountering a strong enemy, Roger was also a reliable captain who could be trusted with one's back.

But now, Rono's goal had been set, and it was impossible to agree to Roger's invitation.

"Hey, don't do this, it will be fun to be with me!"

Roger didn't give up, after all, Roger's intuition told him that Rono was definitely a rare partner.

Roger, like Luffy, was born with that weird but accurate intuition.

"I refuse, unless..."

"Unless what?"

Originally, Roger's eyes dimmed when he heard the word "rejection," but when he heard an opportunity, his eyes immediately lit up.

"You have to show enough strength. After all, no one wants to follow a captain who is not as strong as the crew."

As he spoke, Rono began to slowly release the Conqueror's Haki, and the meaning could not be more obvious.

Roger now needed to use his strength to prove that he was qualified to be Rono's captain.

"Hahaha, so that's how it is! It's exactly what I want. If I am not strong, what face do I have to invite you!"

Hearing this request, Roger burst out laughing.

Roger was quite confident in his own strength.

He was different from Luffy. Luffy was 17 years old when he went to sea. He was still a teenager.

Roger was 53 years old when he died in 1498.

It was now 1483 in the Haiyuan calendar, and Roger was at least 35 years old.

Not to mention that he had reached the peak of his strength, it was not impossible that he was at least at the level of an Emperor's deputy or even at the level of an Emperor.

"Come on, Rono!"

Roger shouted excitedly and also released his Conqueror's Haki.

Boom!

Roger's Conqueror's Haki was much stronger than that of Rono, and the sea started to become choppy as soon as he released it.

Clouds churned in the sky and thunder roared, as if extreme weather would come in an instant.

Not only that, Roger's Haki range was also quite terrifying, and the people on the entire island were all stunned without knowing what happened.

"As expected of the future Pirate King, he has already reached this level of Haki just after going out to sea!"

Rono's eyes were full of heat!

The stronger Roger was, the more things he could pick up!

Sure enough, Rono's system began to remind him the first time Roger used his Conqueror's Haki.

**[Ding~Congratulations to the host for picking up Conqueror's Haki! (advanced)]**

As the sound of the system fell, Rono clearly felt that there was a force in his body that had undergone a qualitative change!

Next moment.

Boom!

The Conqueror's Haki comparable to Roger's spread out from Rono's body and collided with Roger's Conqueror's Haki!

"Has this guy been hiding his strength?"

Roger was also surprised when he saw this.

He had the Observation Haki and could perceive Rono's strength. He should not have had this level of Conqueror's Haki.
