One Piece : I resurrected Gol D Roger! Chapter 439-440

Chapter 439 Roger: Ace, I am your father!!

The blazing flames soared like massive wings, stretching toward the sky. Their scorching heat lashed wildly, stirring up thick clouds of black smoke. The temperature rose at an alarming rate, forcing many onlookers to step back.

Amidst the inferno that seemed capable of consuming everything, a lone, slender figure emerged, flickering in and out of view.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... I have to admit, that brat of yours has mastered the Flame-Flame Fruit quite well," the Golden Lion murmured, a cigar between his lips, glancing at Roger with a hint of admiration.

Hearing this, Roger couldn't help but puff out his chest, brimming with pride. "Of course! Did you expect anything less from my son?!"

"Hahaha!!!"

But just as Roger reveled in the praise, the Golden Lion’s next words sent his mood plummeting.

"You didn't even raise him."

The others also looked at the looming figure in the raging flames with excited faces, choking with sobs.

Whitebeard and the others already had red eyes and were feeling very excited.

"Ace, are you finally coming back?"

"Let's fight together again."

Marco murmured in a choked voice, an uncontrollable smile spreading across his face.

He had been waiting for this moment for so long.

For the past two years, he had stood watch over these two graves like a silent, unwavering statue. Most of the time, he simply stared at them, lost in memories of the days when he laughed and fought alongside his father and Ace. He had longed for those times, wishing he could relive them.

And now, the dreams he had clung to for so long were finally becoming reality.

If not for the searing heat brushing against his skin, he might have believed this was just another beautiful dream—one he could wake up from at any moment.

In that instant, the figure within the sea of fire grew clearer. A strong, unwavering voice emerged from the flames.

"I, Ace, pledge to make my father, Edward Newgate—The Whitebeard—The Pirate King!"

His tone was firm, filled with an unshakable determination that no one could doubt.

Whitebeard burst into laughter.

At the same time, Roger’s expression darkened.

Boom!!

With an earth-shattering roar, the raging flames in the sky suddenly scattered.

A young figure stood before them—black hair, freckles on his cheeks, a tattoo on his left arm.

"Ace!!"

“Gurarara!!”

"My dear son!! You're finally back!!"

Whitebeard laughed as he gazed at the stunned figure.

"Ace!!"

Marco and the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates cried out in shock and joy.

"...I'm not dead, am I?"

Ace looked down at his hands blankly, his eyes dazed, and couldn't help but whisper.

Hearing Whitebeard's voice, his eyes immediately turned red.

He suddenly raised his head.

A bold smile, a majestic figure, and a domineering temperament that gives a sense of security

“Dad!!”

He laughed with tears streaming down his face.

Bang!!

A fist suddenly filled his vision.

Before he could react, he was sent flying backward.

With a deafening crash, the two graves behind him shattered into pieces.

Dazed, Ace lifted his head, his nose crooked from the impact. Blinking in confusion, he stared at the figure standing before him.

"Who the hell are you?!?" He blurted out in astonishment.

Roger casually snapped his fingers, rolling up his sleeves with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Roger declared viciously.

"—I'm your father!!"

***

At the same time…In the first half of the Grand Line, Paradise.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

"Sakazuki!! What on earth do you want to do!?"

“Send troops to Alabasta!?”

"Do you want to disobey the orders of the World Government?!"

"Or do you want to take the entire navy with you and go crazy and then be buried with you!?"

Sengoku angrily threw the military order document in his hand to the ground. His eyes were red, and he was panting, obviously furious to the extreme.

Akainu, seated in the Fleet Admiral’s chair, calmly extinguished the cigar in his hand, his expression unchanged.

Slowly, he lifted his head.

A chilling darkness filled his gaze, as if the very air around him had turned frigid.

The cold, domineering arrogance in his eyes was so intense that even Sengoku, despite all his experience, couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.

He had watched Sakazuki grow into the man he was today, but he had never seen this look in Akainu’s eyes before.

Madness.

An unyielding determination to follow his own path.

And beneath it all, a hint of exhaustion.

"The old man Sengoku,"

Akainu placed his hands on the table, and his burly body gradually stood up, his torso straight.

Black smoke gradually rose from his hands.

The scarlet magma completely submerged the desk in just a breath of time.

"The battle report has come from the New World. The NEO New Navy has successfully defeated the Blackbeard Pirates."

"That is to say," Akainu's tone was extremely cold.

"Of the four emperors that roamed the New World, only Kaido the Beast is left."

The existence of the Red-Haired Pirates, because of the relationship between Roger and Red Hair, means that they were destined to never be the enemy of the NEO New Navy.

Chapter 440 - Akainu's ambition! North-South confrontation!!

Sengoku was stunned.

The air in the Fleet Admiral's office suddenly became extremely cold.

It even made him shudder involuntarily.

The Four Emperors who roamed the New World, the Blackbeard Pirates, were wiped out?

So fast!?

The information about the Blackbeard Pirates' large-scale activities in the New World was only passed to the headquarters two days ago. According to the intelligence department's prediction, they were very likely to attack Whitebeard's hometown.

The impoverished island where the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates were holding on.

Blackbeard’s goal was obvious.

He sought to seize the Devil Fruits of Marco and the others, claim all the former Whitebeard Pirates' territories, and erase the last remnants of their once-dominant rule in the New World.

But now—

In just two days—

The NEO Navy had completely crushed the Blackbeard Pirates!?

At first, Sengoku couldn’t believe it. It was simply too absurd.

Yet the news had come straight from Akainu’s mouth.

And that left him no choice but to accept it.

Still—

"What does this have to do with your move on Alabasta?"

Sengoku suddenly clenched his teeth tightly, and the harsh words came out from between his teeth.

Akainu smiled.

His smile was so full of madness,

He was as cold as ever.

"Old man Sengoku, don't you understand yet?"

"We've already lost."

"Our navy has been completely defeated!"

"What I'm talking about is not just the war in G1, but the situation in the entire world."

He stared at Sengoku coldly, his eyes as cruel as a killing machine, without any personal emotion at all.

He revealed a mocking and weird smile.

"Our Navy Headquarters has not been able to accomplish this in all these years..."

"In the name of justice, destroy the Four Emperors of the New World."

"But now it has been accomplished by the NEO navy led by Liu Feng."

"This is really ironic."

"Isn't our navy righteous?"

Sengoku roared:

"So what!!?"

"As long as we regroup and quietly bide our time, we will always have a chance to invade the New World again!"

"Our strength is not weaker than that of the NEO New Navy!!"

Akainu shook his head sarcastically and sneered:

"No, no, no, I don't mean to think that our Marine Headquarters is weak."

"It's just that, under such a political system, we have no chance of conquering the New World."

“Even self-preservation has become a problem!”

"You should have known about the news that came out from the top government officials on the eve of the World Conference, right?"

"The top government officials have expressed their dissatisfaction with our Navy Headquarters many times and even called for cutting our military budget and training the elite of the CP department."

"So, old man, do you understand?"

"Our Navy Headquarters has become a discarded pawn."

"Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that we have become a bargaining chip in the hands of the government to consume the power of the NEO Navy!"

"They have given up the strategy of large-scale war and chosen to use assassination to deal with Liu Feng."

"Justice was completely thrown into the stinking ditch by them like garbage!"

"I will not allow this to happen."

Akainu was so angry that he almost gnashed his teeth to pieces.

"Soon, the war will come."

"After the NEO Navy kills the last of the Four Emperors, Kaido, and unifies the New World."

"They will definitely lead their troops south."

"At that time, the true decisive battle of justice will come."

"But before that, our headquarters must be prepared."

"Power, territory, conscription, taxes, reputation, and dominance"

"We must try our best to get these into our own hands!!"

Akainu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes cold and domineering.

Sengoku was stunned.

Looking at Akainu in front of him, a crazy thought flooded into his mind uncontrollably, causing his entire body to tremble uncontrollably.

Sakazuki actually wants to lead the navy to be independent from the jurisdiction of the World Government!!

“You are a dictator!!!”

Sengoku suddenly roared with a ferocious look.

"Dictatorship?"

A smile flashed in Akainu's eyes.

"Whether it's dictatorship or freedom, it doesn't matter to me."

"We are the military. And the most important thing for the army is victory!!"

"We absolutely cannot lose to the NEO New Navy!!"

"Old man Sengoku, do you want to see all your life's hard work destroyed by Liu Feng in one fell swoop?"

“I can tell you frankly. Alabasta is just the first."

"What I want to do is unify the first half of the Grand Line!!"

"When the time comes,"

"The Red Earth Continent is the boundary."

"The Holy Land of Marijoa serves as a buffer zone."

"We will be able to better fight against the NEO Navy!"

"The war between the North and the South is a decisive battle for justice!"

"No one can stop me, not even you!!"

"As for the World Government…."

He suddenly looked somewhere.

The corner of the room, Yellow Monkey's figure slowly walked out.

In his hands he was carrying a strange corpse wearing a white silk robe.

Sengoku suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Akainu and Kizaru, these two guys,

They actually killed the CP0 officials!!
