"One Piece" Events:
"EEEEEEEHHHHHHHH!!? ON THE PIRATE KING'S SHIP!!?" exclaimed Luffy after Rayleigh revealed that he was once on the Pirate King's ship.
"Yeah, I was the vice-captain... The name's Silvers Rayleigh, nice to meet you," Rayleigh answered with a smile.
"Hatchan, didn't you tell them?" asked Shakky.
"Nyuu~... We just needed him for coating," replied Hatchan.
"VICE-CAPTAIN!?" The entire crew was shocked after learning Rayleigh's true identity.
They all realized it suddenly, but it seems Robin had known it for a long time.
"Oh my, you didn't notice?" she asked.
"I know that name all too well!!!"
"It's in so many books!!!"
exclaimed Usopp and Nami, tears silently flowing from their eyes.
"It's definitely a name that everyone's heard of at least once," said Sanji.
"..." Listening to this name made Franky remember something.
"Gold Roger, I remember a rookie by that name... Or maybe not," said Brook.
Every member of the Pirate King's crew looked at the pages of the manga, holding their breath because the current events were talking about them.
"What does this skeleton mean when he says "Rookie"?"
"Oh, right! The Rumbar crew is a very old pirate crew... no doubt I had just started my journey with Rayleigh at the time when they were at the end of theirs, Wahahaha!"
"I didn't expect that the day would come when I would hear someone call me a rookie... even when I am Gol D. Roger, I had a start that someone like Brook happened to hear about, just like the first wanted poster Luffy got; it might be the first wanted poster I got that Brook happened to see."
...
"What's Rayleigh saying...? Ray... Your counterpart in the manga seems to have noticed how extraordinary Luffy really is..."
"This conversation seems very interesting..."
"Look at the size of the shock on their faces when they realized that they were talking with a living legend... Wahahahaha!"
Rayleigh adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "I wanted to find out the reason for my strange friendship with Fishman... my counterpart said that Hatchi saved him from a shipwreck... Strange, was I injured so that I could not swim?"
"Anyway, it doesn't matter the reason as much as the result, this Fishman is very kind, there is no doubt that he really saved you when you were in a bad situation," Roger replied.
"Look at Sanji's question... it seems to be the right moment to challenge the lies of the world government Wahahaha! Suddenly, I would like to see the expressions on the faces of the five elders after seeing this chapter."
"But Gold Roger was executed 22 years ago. They didn't get you, the vice-captain...?" Sanji asked about the reason for Rayleigh's ability to escape the Navy's pursuit.
"We weren't caught... Roger gave himself up."
"The government... as a show of power, may have acted like they had captured him..."
"The Pirate King gave himself up!? Why!?" asked Nami.
"Because he could see the end of our journey."
"... About four years before the public execution... Roger came down with a terminal disease," Rayleigh said with sorrow as if recalling it made him suffer.
"Captain Roger... is what Rayleigh says true?"
"That can't be right... Of course, right?"
Not all crew members knew about the deadly disease that their captain had previously contracted... it was something that only Rayleigh, Gaban, and the ship's doctor Crocus were aware of.
The likes of Bullet, Shanks, Buggy, and the others, they didn't know anything about it, probably until the last two years of their journey aboard the Oro Jackson.
Not to mention the Whitebeard crew who were ignorant of the real situation all the time... when they saw what Rayleigh said in the manga, they were also shocked.
"For what purpose do you send yourself on a plate to the hands of the Navy? Gurararara!! Isn't it obvious, my children, this man known as the Pirate King is more dangerous if he is on the verge of death?"
Whitebeard laughed and gave a comment to the core.
"His friendly appearance and cute mustache do not tempt you, he is a demon more terrifying than real demons."
Hearing this, Rouge was clearly annoyed by Newgate's words.
"Which part of him looks like demons?" she asked.
"Oh?" Whitebeard stopped drinking his Sake before he raised an eyebrow with interest; Rouge's expression was like an angry cat.
"Well, Gurarara! You have a good wife, Roger."
Seeing this, Roger laughed, before patting his wife's head and saying, "Don't take Newgate's words too seriously; he's not the only one calling me a demon, but it doesn't diminish my value in any way. Creating a great pirate age is an act that only demons do."
Saying this, he turned around to confront his crew members and reassure them.
"It's Okay, guys, the reason Crocus left the crew and returned to Twine Cape is that my illness has already been cured. In this world, I will not die from the disease."
"OOOOOOH!!" the entire crew members exclaimed.
...
Marineford:
Boom! "Damn you!"
Sengoku shouted as he almost broke the wooden board with a slap.
"These Roger Pirates bastards are still causing trouble even in the manga!"
"All that feeling of pride that was fed to us in the first chapter of the manga was just nonsense! We didn't catch Roger with our strength; it was he who turned himself in!"
"Isn't that obvious, Sengoku, Buwahahahaha!"
"Don't you say that you don't know very well that it's impossible to catch Roger even if he's sick?"
"But... but... why did the manga reveal this truth now? This is equivalent to a prolonged slap in our face!"
"Did Rayleigh take steroids? He did not stop pouring out everything he knew..."
"This is not what a mysterious legendary character should be..."
"Well, well... at least the crime of creating the Great Pirate Age and linking it to Roger has been confirmed in the first place... that's excellent!"
