Chapter 575: Roger's Question, The Last Thing
August, Sea Calendar 1498.
"Moshi Moshi!"
"Newgate, what do you need from me?"
Hades was a little surprised, not knowing why Whitebeard would suddenly call.
He and Newgate hadn't been in contact for many years.
After all, there wasn't much to talk about.
The two were on completely different paths.
The Whitebeard Pirates and the Pluto Pirates, and the Kronos Kingdom, had no interests.
Ultimately, the friendship between Hades and Newgate only existed in the past, and after so many years, it had faded considerably.
Time can change many things.
The most important point is that Hades is no longer a Pirate.
The position of Pluto Pirates Captain has already been handed over to the next generation.
The only difference is that most of his former companions have become Newgate's enemies.
Only Hades is not in a hostile relationship with them.
"Gurararara! Want to come for a drink? I have someone here who wants to see you."
Newgate laughed heartily, holding a wine glass.
On the Moby Dick, the surrounding children of Newgate were somewhat excited, seemingly about to see the legendary Great Pirate, "Pluto" Hades.
However, there was a slight silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
"I'm really sorry, but I don't have time to come over there right now."
A commotion erupted on the Moby Dick.
They never expected that their Pops' invitation would be refused.
After the setbacks at the beginning of the Pirate Crew's establishment, the Whitebeard Pirates could be said to have been feeling triumphant in recent years.
They successively defeated the John Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates, occupying more territory.
The Division Captains of the Whitebeard Pirates also exhibited excellent combat strength in bloody battles.
This wasn't about causing trouble; it was just a kind invitation to drink, yet he showed such disrespect to the Whitebeard Pirates.
Some hot-tempered members of the Whitebeard Pirates were already getting angry, almost cursing out loud.
However, a terrifying aura pressed down on them, making everyone calm down and remain silent.
Realizing there were bad signs on the ship, Whitebeard's Conqueror's Haki instantly snapped all the members back to their senses, and the words they were about to say were swallowed directly.
That was "Pluto" Hades!
They didn't even have the standing to speak to Hades.
"Is it Roger?"
This voice made everyone tremble.
They didn't expect Hades to have guessed it.
Sitting beside Newgate was none other than "Pirate King" Roger, whom countless people were searching for.
Unbeknownst to outsiders, he had come to the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Looks like I didn't guess wrong."
This is a sensitive period.
Hades is waiting for the Great Pirate Era to begin, while also paying attention to the search for Pure Gold.
At this time, he doesn't want to do anything extra.
In his memory, Newgate and Roger had good connections.
Even without Kozuki Oden acting as a link between them, it wouldn't affect their relationship.
Looking at the time, the time was almost right.
Roger's time had also begun its countdown.
In The Great Sea, he was about to die, and the secrets he knew needed someone to protect.
Roger chose Newgate and told him many things he knew.
After this, he would go to Marine Headquarters alone to surrender.
Before that, he wanted to chat with Hades.
"Newgate, take me to a small island. I need to talk to Hades about some things."
Roger looked at Newgate seriously, grabbing the Den Den Mushi with one hand.
A small island, surrounded by sandy ground, with only a small patch of Dense Forest in the center.
Roger sat alone on a stone, a Den Den Mushi placed in front of him.
The air was silent for a moment.
"What do you think about the One Piece, Hades?"
Roger finally spoke.
Actually, he didn't know what to say.
It was just an instinctual feeling that he needed to chat with Hades.
Even if there was no gain.
Because Hades very likely held the secret regarding the Void Century History.
The two Poneglyphs that were taken away in advance were both related to Hades.
After reaching the Final Island, Roger already knew all the truths.
Roger also knew the content of the Poneglyph located on Sky Island.
Without a doubt, that Poneglyph was very important for going to the Final Island.
It not only concerned the secret of the Ancient Weapon "Poseidon", but also the classification of Poneglyphs, revealing the mystery of the Red Poneglyph.
Thinking of the Pluto Pirates' occupation of Fish-Man Island, it seemed they knew something and began their plan in advance.
"Is this matter important, Roger?"
Hades asked calmly.
It was as if the two had never been hostile.
"Important?"
Roger asked himself, then shook his head with a smile.
"It's not that important. I just wanted to know your opinion."
Hades felt very emotional about this legend who was about to die.
"The One Piece is just a product of hype, nothing at all. Even if something is hidden there, it's meaningless."
"Otherwise, why would your Roger Pirates disband?"
Hades didn't hold back, stating his opinion.
Was this his true opinion?
Of course not.
Regarding Roger's boring probe, he naturally had to pretend not to know.
Regardless of whether Roger believed him or not.
"Is that so? That's just like you, Hades."
Hearing Hades' words, Roger smiled.
Perhaps he was mocking himself, or perhaps he was mocking Hades.
Hades is a Great Noble!
A King of a nation, controlling the life and death of who knows how many people.
He possesses a vast military, countless wealth, and is one of the few standing at the peak of the world.
The so-called One Piece, regardless of whether it is true or false, does it really have meaning for Hades?
This ambiguous question ended here.
The Den Den Mushi hung up, but Roger's belief was strengthened.
Having learned the truth of the world, he hoped to use his life to shake all of this.
Nothing can be established without breaking something.
He certainly knew what consequences it would cause, but he was determined to do it.
As his last journey in The Great Sea.
