Chapter 160 Big Favor

Similarly, Roger was also looking at Nicholas. It could be said that Kozuki Oden was his hope for completing his final Navigation.

"Don't look at me like that, Newgate. I have no interest in that guy called Kozuki Oden?"

Nicholas's words made Whitebeard and Roger somewhat stunned, a little disbelieving.

"If not for Kozuki Oden, then what are you here for? Could it be that even an unprecedented thing like going Around the World can't move you?"

Roger looked at Nicholas with a surprised face. In his opinion, going Around the World could be said to be a feat worthy of being recorded in history.

"And then what?"

"For me, what I want is to be able to navigate freely on this Grand Line, to be able to set foot in every corner of this world without worry. The South Pole, the North Pole, all the Sea Routes on the New World Grand Line, I want to travel them all, to see the countless magical Islands and natural scenery of this world.

I, want to become the freest person on this Grand Line!"

"Wahahaha, what a truly remarkable Dream."

Hearing Nicholas's Words, Roger raised his Wine Bowl, gesturing for Nicholas to clink bowls with him.

"Then, I'll wish you in advance to accomplish your own Dream."

"Of course."

The two of them finished the Liquor in their bowls again, and Roger personally refilled Nicholas's bowl.

"Then what is your purpose in coming here?"

Whitebeard asked, frowning.

"I've come here this time for two Things, one is about Roger, and the other is about you."

Saying this, Nicholas took out a Small Box from his chest and handed it to Roger.

And after Roger took the box and opened it, he looked at the Things in the box with a strange expression.

"Hey, Nicholas, you guy, we are impossible, I already have someone I like!"

Roger showed the Gold Ring in the box to Nicholas with a serious face, saying as if Nicholas had some bad intentions towards him.

"Pui, I also have someone I like, and besides, who would be interested in someone whose Nose Hair is as long as a Beard!"

Nicholas spat lightly and said without backing down.

And hearing Nicholas's Words, Roger immediately became angry.

"That's an artistic need on the Pirate Flag, not me! My Beard is a Beard, not Nose Hair!"

"Ah, right, right, right, even if it's not Nose Hair, okay?"

"It wasn't Nose Hair in the first place, what do you mean 'even if it's not'!"

"Your Disease, does she know?"

Nicholas suddenly spoke, making the atmosphere quiet again.

"Knows." Looking at the Wine Bowl, a look of longing and guilt appeared on Roger's face.

"If you leave, there won't be many Opponents to drink with in this world."

Whitebeard also had a look of sighing.

"Aren't there still Shiki, Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, Big Mom and the others? If it really doesn't work, if you're bored, you can go to Marineford for a stroll. Anyway, with your Strength, it's still very easy to retreat unscathed."

"Forget it..."

Whitebeard shook his head and clinked Wine Bowls with Roger.

"I forgot, you only care about your Family."

Roger was slightly stunned, and didn't force the issue.

"Gurararara..."

Whitebeard smiled and didn't speak, but it was a tacit agreement.

"Speaking of which, Lightning Kid, why did you suddenly give me a Gold Ring?"

Roger asked, playing with the Gold Ring as he spoke.

"It's just a Reward for letting you attract heat, and also, don't mess with that thing, it's very precious, so precious that if you wear it, as long as you're not beheaded, you can live for a long Time, and even your Incurable Disease can be postponed indefinitely."

Hearing Nicholas's Words, Roger, who was playing with the Gold Ring, looked at Nicholas in astonishment.

And almost at the same Time, two Figures quickly came to Roger's Side, one person hugged Roger tightly from behind, and the other person snatched the Gold Ring from Roger's hand and carefully held it in his hand.

"Hey, hey, Jabba, Rayleigh, you two guys want to murder the Captain?"

Rayleigh, who was being forcibly restrained by Jabba, shouted desperately.

And Rayleigh was holding the Gold Ring, looking at Nicholas seriously.

"Nicholas, what you said is true!?"

Although Rayleigh tried his best to make himself appear calm, the excitement in his tone could not be concealed no matter what.

"Ah, fake."

Nicholas said lightly, and as his Words fell, the atmosphere in the scene suddenly became quiet.

"Of course it's a lie. The thing in your hand can indeed save Roger. After all, there are many Treasures on the Grand Line. The Ring in your hand, which is mixed with Pure Gold, is one of them. In addition, I also know of two Devil Fruits that can also save Roger, remember, it's completely save him, not just extend his Lifespan like Pure Gold."

Nicholas said, looking at Rayleigh in front of him. It could be said that to a large extent, the brain of the Roger Pirates was Rayleigh. Roger would generally not interfere with Rayleigh's decisions unless they concerned the entire Pirate Crew.

"Pure Gold, so you really found the lost Alchemy?"

When Rayleigh heard the word Pure Gold, the hand holding the Gold Ring couldn't help but tighten. When he learned that Roger was suffering from Incurable Disease, he had tried to find various Methods to save Roger, and Pure Gold was one of those Methods.

"What Pure Gold, what Alchemy?"

Roger, who had switched positions with Jabba at some point, pinned Jabba to the ground and asked with a confused face.

"You guy don't need to know so much, give me your hand."

Saying this, Rayleigh said to Roger.

"Huh?"

And Roger was completely confused, obviously not knowing what Nicholas and Rayleigh had said, which caused Rayleigh's attitude to change so drastically.

Out of trust in Rayleigh, Roger also extended his hand without hesitation, and soon Rayleigh put the Gold Ring on his hand.

Watching Roger looking curiously at the Ring on his hand, Rayleigh directly said to Jabba, "Jabba, go call Crocus over, and say that the Captain has a situation here."

Obviously, the others in the Roger Pirates did not know about Roger's Incurable Disease.

Soon, a drunken Crocus was carried over by Jabba. It could be said that all the People on Roger's Ship who knew about Roger's physical condition were all here now.

"Eh, aren't you Nicholas who sent the Rumba Pirates to Twin Capes last time? Long time no see."

"Crocus, greetings can wait, first help the Captain with a check-up."

"Strange..."

After Crocus performed a check on Roger's Body, he couldn't help but frown, and his Words also made Rayleigh and Jabba look nervous.

"Hey, Crocus, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't keep us in suspense."

Jabba couldn't help but urge.

"Jabba, stop rushing me, farthead."

Crocus showed good composure, and then said to Rayleigh, "The development Speed of the Disease in the Captain's Body now seems to have been slowed down countless times, and of course, the Speed of Cell division in his Body has also slowed down a lot."

"So what?"

Jabba asked impatiently.

Bang, Jabba was directly punched to the ground by Rayleigh with a Fist.

"Crocus, you continue."

"So, if Roger's Body maintains this State, his remaining Lifespan can completely become several times or even ten times more than it is now."

Hearing Crocus's Words, an uncontrollable joy appeared on Rayleigh's face, and Roger also reached out and scratched the back of his head, laughing innocently. Obviously, if they could live, no one would want to die.

"Nicholas, our Roger Pirates owes you a Big Favor!"

Rayleigh looked at Nicholas and said seriously.
