Rogge Town is also known as the "Town of Beginning and Ending".
The unique geographical location is the only way to the great waterway from the East China Sea, and it is also the only supply point.
Whether you are a businessman, traveler or pirate careerist, you cannot bypass this place if you want to go to the Grand Waterway.
At the same time, this is the place where the Pirate King Roger was born and executed, so Roger Town also has the most popular attraction in the East China Sea - the Pirate King's execution platform.
It's funny to say that the purpose of retaining this execution platform by the World Government is to deter those lawless pirates, but it turned out to be a symbol of the beginning of the great pirate era.
Therefore, under such a background, Rogge Town has always been a scene of vitality and all things happening.
Until Smoker came here.
It stands to reason that Rogge Town is located in the East China Sea and should be governed by the East China Sea branch. However, Smoker was assigned to the East China Sea, so he chose to stay here. This basically prevents pirates from the East China Sea from passing through Rogge Town.
The possibility of entering the Grand Line.
Of course, some powerful pirates will also bypass here and directly enter the Grand Line.
What, there won’t be powerful pirates in the weakest sea?
The Pirate King and Navy Heroes both come from the weakest sea.
If it weren't for an old man who often drove a dog-headed boat back for a walk, who knows what kind of trouble the pirates in the East China Sea would have made on the Grand Line.
For example, indirectly leading to the destruction of Judiciary Island? For example, indirectly releasing the prisoners in Impel Down City? For example, going to sea for two and a half years and directly becoming a Yonko?
But it has nothing to do with the current Annan, and Annan doesn't want to change anything. What is supposed to come will always come, but we must go to the East China Sea, and Rogge Town is also very good as the first stop in the East China Sea.
……
Inside the Rogue Town Naval Base.
"Colonel Smoker, a warship from the headquarters is docked at the dock, and Commander Dasqi is communicating with them."
In a smoke-filled room, a marine reported to a shirtless man.
"Headquarters? Are the old men above finished? Ask Dasqi to tell them that I think I am not wrong. Don't think that I will cry and beg them!"
Smoker sat in front of a small table, stacking stones with a cigar in his mouth, and said casually.
"Colonel, this is different from the one we came before. There is also the SSG logo on that warship."
"SSG, Special Science Class. What are they doing here in the East China Sea?" Smoker became interested, grabbed the coat hanging on the wall and put it on.
"Colonel Smoker, Colonel Smoker!" A woman's voice came in from outside the door.
Bang.
The woman wearing glasses held a knife and panted as she pushed open the office door, but accidentally tripped over the threshold.
The glasses suddenly flew out and hit the high pile of stones on the table.
Pat.
Pebbles were scattered all over the floor.
"It hurts."
Dasqi covered her forehead with one hand and kept groping on the ground with the other.
"Dasi Qi, how many times have I told you, don't be impatient in doing things." Smoker picked up the glasses and handed them to Du Si Qi.
"Aren't you with someone from headquarters? Why are you here?"
"I'm so sorry, Colonel Smoker, I will definitely pay attention next time."
Dasqi put on her glasses, "But you must not have thought who came from the headquarters this time."
"Who is it?" Smoker frowned.
"August Annan is the rising star of the navy mentioned in the newspapers a few days ago. Even Admiral Kizaru was full of praise for him."
Dasqi said excitedly, "And he is also a swordsman, and his sword is Muramasa, one of the twenty-one swordsmen..."
"Okay." Smoker interrupted Dasqi, "Where are they now."
"The two of them wanted to stroll around the town first, so I came over to report to you first."
"Two people? What about the other marines on the warship?" Smoker was a little surprised.
"No one else is willing to get off the ship. They are all from the scientific force and seem to be doing some research." Dasqi replied.
……
"This is where the Pirate King One Piece died."
Esdeath looked up at the execution platform.
"Yes, he was born here and died here." Annan smiled slightly, recalling the vague memories in his brain, imitating Roger's tone and said: "Do you want my treasure? If you want, you can give it all.
You, go find it! I put all the treasures there!"
"So, all pirates and adventurers set sail on the "Great Route" to pursue their dreams, and the world began to welcome the advent of the Great Pirate Age."
"You remember it very clearly." Esdeath smiled, "I remember you were just born when Roger was executed."
"I read it in the newspaper," Annan said. "The first newspaper I read was about the execution of the Pirate King. Of course I remember it clearly."
Although it is almost noon, the square is still very lively. Many people are taking photos here. A group of children are playing among the crowd, and the laughter and laughter echo among the crowd.
Looking at the lively and harmonious scene in front of him, Annan couldn't help but smile.
Just when he was lost in thought, a short figure suddenly bumped into his knee and sat on the ground with a plop.
Annan was stunned and looked down. He saw a little boy with a wooden stick beside him.
The little boy who fell to the ground did not cry. He stood up from the ground and apologized to Annan.
"I'm sorry, uncle."
The smile on Annan's face froze.
"What do you mean uncle!"
"Little Paulie! I asked you to stop running around. It's okay now, you bumped into someone." A woman wearing an apron ran over, "I've been looking for you for a long time, and I know you are playing crazy outside." p>
The woman looked at Annan with an apologetic look.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Hainan. I didn't discipline him well and bumped into you. Little Pauly, why don't you apologize to Mr. Hainan quickly!"
Annan shook his head, smiled and rubbed little Pauli's head.
"It's okay, let's go play."
He saw that behind the woman, several children of similar age to him were holding various "weapons" and looking timidly.
Little Paulie nodded, picked up the wooden stick that fell on the ground, and ran towards the children, waving the wooden stick while running. At the same time, he did not forget to turn around and said to the woman: "Mom, I'll play again.
Yes, don’t wait for me to eat.”
"You evil guys, I, the righteous Navy Pauli, will bring you all to justice!"
"Huh, Pauly, you are just a third-class private in the navy. I am a great pirate who is famous in the Grand Line! You can't catch me."
It turns out to be the pirate version of "The Police Catch the Thief".
Several children ran toward the port while playing, and disappeared without a trace after a while.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Navy." Pauly's mother kept apologizing, "He is still young, please don't blame him."
"Madam, what you said," Annan said with a smile, "is as if our navy is a bad guy."
