One Piece : I resurrected Gol D Roger! Chapter 468-470

Chapter 468—Rayleigh, choose an ability

"Okay, next..."

Liu Feng clapped his hands and laughed.

Next?

The people present were momentarily confused before quickly realizing—yes!

Blackbeard possessed multiple Devil Fruit abilities. However, as they exchanged glances, bitter smiles formed on their faces before all eyes settled on Koshiro.

There was no other choice. Among them, Golden Lion had the Float-Float Fruit, Whitebeard and Zephyr wielded the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Byrnndi World possessed the More-More Fruit, and Katakuri had his own powers. Even Law, the chief of staff, had the formidable Ope-Ope Fruit.

This was a star-studded lineup of monstrous abilities.

Apart from Koshiro, everyone already had Devil Fruit powers. And except for him, none of them could take on another ability.

Liu Feng turned to Koshiro with a smile. "How about it?"

"Which one do you want? The Dark-Dark Fruit?"

Koshiro's mouth twitched slightly.

Every Devil Fruit in Blackbeard’s possession was a priceless treasure—each one powerful enough to spark chaos across the seas, drawing countless warriors into bloody conflict.

Yet, in Liu Feng’s hands, they were being treated like vegetables at a market, casually offered as if they were nothing.

After a moment of thought, Koshiro shook his head. "I've never been particularly interested in Devil Fruits."

"The most important thing is," Koshiro continued, "I don't think I have the extra energy to develop a Devil Fruit ability.

"In that case, I might as well dedicate myself entirely to swordsmanship. After all, the path of the sword has no end.

"Let someone else take these Devil Fruits. My only goal is to reach greater heights in swordsmanship."

His expression was serious, leaving no room for doubt.

Liu Feng nodded. He understood Koshiro’s reasoning.

As a native of Wano Country and an inheritor of the Shimotsuki family's swordsmanship, it made sense for him to focus solely on perfecting his blade.

Besides, given Koshiro's personality and fighting style, gaining a Devil Fruit ability might even hinder his true strength.

"No problem," Liu Feng said. "I get it."

Liu Feng smiled. "So, what do the rest of you think about the remaining Devil Fruits?"

He glanced around at the others.

Silence filled the room.

This wasn’t an easy question. To decide who should receive the fruits, they first had to rule out those who were already Devil Fruit users. Roger would have been an ideal candidate, but he had already “killed himself” by eating the Flame-Flame Fruit in Dressrosa and had since disappeared.

"Rayleigh," Zephyr suddenly suggested.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Sliver Rayleigh! Roger’s former vice-captain—his strength had reached its peak, and most importantly, he wasn’t a Devil Fruit user.

"Mr. Rayleigh is definitely a strong choice," Koshiro admitted, but his brows furrowed. "Still, I doubt he’d accept it."

Having spent a lot of time with Rayleigh recently, Koshiro knew him well. As fellow swordsmen, they often exchanged insights on the way of the sword, benefiting greatly from each other's knowledge.

Kuina’s swordsmanship.

During practice, Rayleigh often offered guidance without hesitation.

"It's fine to ask him first," Liu Feng said with a smile, glancing at Law.

Law nodded, and a small hurricane quickly formed in his hand.

"——"

Swish!!

The next moment, he disappeared from the spot.

In just a few seconds, the figures of Law and Rayleigh appeared in front of everyone.

Rayleigh took in the scene, his gaze falling on the unrestrained Byrnndi World. He was momentarily stunned before quickly grasping the situation.

Yawning, he spoke drowsily, "It's the middle of the night… you guys sure are noisy."

Dressed in a nightgown, it was clear Law had woken him from his sleep.

Liu Feng smiled. "Sorry to disturb you, but we have something here that might interest you."

He gestured toward Blackbeard, who lay on the ground like a pile of mud.

Rayleigh rubbed his eyes. "Devil Fruits?"

Just then, Zephyr took a step forward, and a soft white aura began to form around his hand.

Rayleigh instantly snapped awake, his pupils contracting sharply.

"Tremor—Tremor Devil Fruit!!"

Zephyr had actually taken the Tremor-Tremor Fruit from Blackbeard!

Rayleigh quickly grasped the situation—Liu Feng intended to assign one of Blackbeard’s Devil Fruit abilities to him.

"Mr. Rayleigh has been with our new navy for quite some time," Liu Feng said seriously. "Though he doesn’t hold an official position, he has helped us in battle more than once."

"For that, I, Liu Feng, sincerely thank you on behalf of the new navy."

He then met Rayleigh’s gaze.

"And now, taking this opportunity, I would like to formally invite you to join our new navy as an admiral of headquarters."

"As a corresponding reward... You can choose one of Blackbeard’s abilities."

Chapter 469 - The power of darkness!!

Silver Rayleigh had officially joined the New Neo Navy and found himself subconsciously lost in thought.

He had initially traveled to Dressrosa just for Roger’s sake, hoping to reconnect with his old captain. But to his surprise, Roger had actually joined Liu Feng's "pirate ship" and taken up the position of admiral in the new navy.

However, it must be said that Liu Feng’s invitation at this moment was compelling, both in terms of its conditions and the honor it offered.

Blackbeard’s Devil Fruit abilities were extremely rare, and the position of admiral of the headquarters held great prestige—it was an offer that gave him significant face.

Yet, after the disbandment of Roger's pirate crew, Rayleigh had secluded himself in the Sabaody Archipelago for many years, distancing himself from worldly affairs and becoming a carefree coating craftsman.

Accepting Liu Feng’s invitation now would mean taking on a new responsibility.

"What are you still thinking about, Rayleigh? Roger has already joined!"

Golden Lion saw Rayleigh hesitating and suddenly clapped him heavily on the shoulder with his massive hand, laughing.

"Don't you want to achieve the dream you once had? Don’t you want to make up for Roger’s regrets?"

Rayleigh looked at Golden Lion, the familiar face causing a helpless expression to cross his own. His mouth twitched slightly.

This bastard… back when they fought, he relentlessly hunted their pirate crew across the seas with a fleet of tens of thousands. Now, he’s trying to get close to him.

But Rayleigh couldn’t deny that Golden Lion had a point.

He had been to the Island of the End, Raftel, so he naturally knew the secrets hidden on the final island.

It was because of that secret that Roger had to surrender to the Navy Headquarters and opened the Great Pirate Era in a public execution.

At that moment, Liu Feng smiled and said, "It’s fine. If you don’t want to join, we understand. There’s no need to feel any pressure."

"But, I hope you’ll reconsider."

"This world is on the brink of change."

"The rise of the new navy and the rise of justice are unstoppable."

"We need your strength. Joining us, we can create even more miracles."

Then, Liu Feng winked at Rayleigh mischievously and, with a playful tone, added, "And most importantly…"

"Without you, who will look after Roger?"

Rayleigh was stunned for a moment, then a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Indeed, no one understood Roger’s character like he did—the bastard had cheated him countless times over the years. Now, Rayleigh didn’t even know where Roger had gone, and he wasn’t around to take care of him.

Roger, that troublesome captain, Rayleigh thought. Who knows what kind of problems he would cause now?

He smiled and shook his head, then raised his gaze to meet Liu Feng’s.

"Well, in that case, I’ll help you."

"As for this Devil Fruit..."

Rayleigh half-squinted his eyes and looked at Blackbeard, his tone wavering.

The others, listening to his tone, had already guessed his thoughts. It seemed he, like Koshiro, wasn’t particularly interested in Blackbeard’s Devil Fruit abilities.

But then, Rayleigh’s next words stunned everyone.

"—I want the Dark-Dark Fruit."

What?!

Rayleigh actually chose the Dark-Dark Fruit!

This completely shocked everyone, surpassing all expectations. Even Liu Feng was taken aback.

Only Whitebeard and Golden Lion reacted with slight changes in their expressions, and a strange light flickered in their eyes.

"Are you sure?"

Liu Feng looked at Rayleigh intently and asked in a low voice.

Rayleigh nodded and smiled. "Yes, if possible, I’d like the Dark-Dark Fruit. This way, even if Roger doesn’t listen, I can still control him. Ha-ha." He ended the sentence with a joking tone.

But Liu Feng detected something odd in Rayleigh’s voice.

Rayleigh’s bond with Roger was undeniable. They had faced countless life-and-death situations together, and there was no question of betrayal. This made Liu Feng realize that the real reason behind Rayleigh’s desire for the Dark-Dark Fruit likely held a deeper meaning.

After a moment of thought, Liu Feng made a quick decision.

"Alright!"

Then, to Blackbeard’s horror, thick black smoke once again poured out of his body, rushing like a river of darkness. It engulfed both Blackbeard and Rayleigh.

Blackbeard's shrill curses and demonic roars filled the air, sending chills down everyone’s spines.

The oppressive dark aura spread throughout the prison, sweeping over every corner.

After a time, the darkness lifted, revealing Rayleigh standing before everyone once again.

A smile played on his lips, and the lingering darkness around him gave him an air of deep, mysterious power.

Liu Feng laughed, his voice full of admiration. "This is for you—"

"—Dark Silver Rayleigh!"

Chapter 470—The Last Fish That Escaped the Net

One day later.

The spring sun rose from the sea, casting a soft glow on the turbulent waters.

But it couldn’t chase away the faint murderous aura and coldness hanging in the air.

The new naval headquarters stood strong.

The soldiers formed up in a solemn, disciplined formation, creating a magnificent sight, while the black flag of justice fluttered high, covering the sky.

Atop the tower of the central military fortress, a figure with a strange presence slowly ascended, moving under Law’s watchful gaze.

This man was unusual, resembling a living birdman. He had snow-white wings on both arms and wore a luxurious black suit.

"Finally here, the last dark emperor of the underground world, the world's Morgan, the president of the News Agency."

On the tower, Liu Feng, draped in a Fleet Admiral's cloak, didn't turn around but calmly surveyed the massive military formation below, a smile playing at the corner of his lips.

This birdman was Morgan—the dark emperor of the underground world and a giant of the news industry.

Morgan sneered. "Yes, it wasn’t easy escaping the pursuit of your new navy, but I didn’t expect you to find me in the end."

He eyed Liu Feng's back with a glint of disdain in his eyes, yet there was no trace of fear on his face, yet his tone was laced with mockery.

Liu Feng smiled. "When I cleaned up the underground world of the New World, you, the news tycoon, probably received the news long before anyone else."

"I didn’t come because of Stussy's invitation."

Morgan laughed. "How could I not know? If I didn’t have at least this much intelligence, I would have wasted all my years in the New World."

"I’ve been keeping a close eye on the Golden Emperor’s movements."

"As for Stussy, she’s never been so eager to call for a gathering of the Dark Emperors."

"The intention is a bit too obvious."

Liu Feng shook his head. "No, it’s not that the intention was too obvious, it’s that you were too smart."

Indeed, Stussy had been involved in the Happy Street incident.

Under the pressure of Liu Feng, an emergency meeting of the underground world was hastily called. All the Dark Emperors attended, except for Morgan, who was the only one to escape Liu Feng’s wrath.

Since then, Morgan had vanished from the seas without a trace, as though he had never existed.

This alone demonstrated the terrifying reach of Morgan's intelligence network, making him a formidable figure in the news industry.

However, as Liu Feng led the new navy and gradually unified the seas of the New World, claiming territories and forces once controlled by the Whitebeard Pirates, some hidden clues finally surfaced.

It turned out that Morgan, the fish that slipped through the net, had never truly left the New World.

Instead, he had been hiding in a territory previously under Whitebeard's command. Taking advantage of the chaos, he concealed his identity and quietly regained control over the news industry he had once ruled.

It didn’t take long for Admiral Aokiji to act, personally capturing the birdman alive.

"You don’t seem scared."

Liu Feng sensed Morgan's breath carefully and found no change in his emotional state. His breathing was steady, and his heartbeat remained calm.

Morgan smiled. "Aokiji didn’t kill me but brought me back alive. That’s enough to prove you didn’t need a corpse."

"Then I naturally have nothing to fear,"

"After all, for someone like me…I am more valuable to you and the new navy if I am alive, aren't I?"

Liu Feng was momentarily stunned by this, then slowly turned around to face Morgan.

"I have to say, it's really easy to talk to smart people."

He smiled.

Morgans laughed. "Everyone is a businessman, and cooperation is the foundation of doing business."

"Without cooperation, it's just a matter of the conditions you offer not being high enough."

"Even you, Liu Feng, the Fleet Admiral of the new navy, are essentially a businessman."

"Tell me, I will never refuse anything I can do for you."

"After all..."

He raised his wings and pointed at his head, smiling helplessly. "My life is in your hands."

Liu Feng nodded with satisfaction. To be honest, if it was an ordinary underground emperor, he really didn't care and would just kill him.

But Morgan's intelligence, the intelligence industry and intelligence network he controlled, and his "sensible" character allowed Liu Feng to consider cooperating with him.

After all, this guy has been operating in the New World for so many years, and his foundation was stronger than many forces.

The most important thing was, if Morgan was killed like this, it would be a pity that the intelligence network behind him cannot be controlled in his own hands.

"Did you see that...??"

Liu Feng raised his hand and pointed to the bottom of the tower.

Morgans then wiped the smile from his face, his expression turning serious. "The execution platform."

Liu Feng smiled. "Yes, the execution platform."

Morgans fell silent.

An execution platform soon appeared in the headquarters of the new navy.

Its significance was clear and undeniable.
