One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 503: The Trump Card of Fake Death!

Before Roger could ask any more questions!

Chen Ye raised his right hand.

A blinding dark golden light burst forth from his palm.

The ward was instantly enveloped in golden light.

Then the light collapsed inward.

It eventually compressed into a golden sphere of light the size of a fist.

Roger's pupils contracted sharply.

He traversed the seas for decades, witnessing the domineering presence of countless top-tier experts.

The golden light before him was completely beyond his comprehension.

It does not belong to Conqueror's Haki. It does not belong to a Devil Fruit.

This is a pure law that transcends the rules of the sea. It arbitrarily alters life and death.

Roger's entire body tensed up instinctively!

He stared intently at the golden light. His Adam's apple bobbed laboriously.

"What is this?"

Roger was on high alert.

Chen Ye did not speak.

The right hand suddenly extends forward. The movement is slow.

Roger didn't have time to dodge.

The golden light from Chen Ye's palm pressed firmly against his chest.

The golden orb of light fell into the sea like a drop of water.

It went straight into Roger's body.

Roger's eyes widened suddenly. An immense and hidden power lurked deep within his heart.

The physical condition has not changed. The injuries have not healed.

A seed that remains dormant.

Perched atop the very source of life. Cold. Indestructible.

Chen Ye withdrew his right hand. He looked down at Roger.

His tone was calm.

Keep this power safe.

Chen Ye's voice was flat.

"You're going to disband the pirate crew?"

"You're going to surrender to the Navy."

"You will still stand on the execution platform in Loguetown."

Roger was stunned.

He looked down at his chest. Then he looked up at Chen Ye.

His brows were furrowed tightly together.

His internal strength is formidable, enough to turn the tide of battle.

Roger gritted his teeth and asked the question.

"What exactly is the purpose of the thing you put inside me?"

This power is meaningless.

Chen Ye pulled over a metal chair and sat down.

He looked into Roger's eyes. The mystery was about to be solved.

"It can make you appear dead."

Roger chewed on those two words.

"The power within you is a trump card."

Chen Ye spoke at a measured pace.

"When you stand on the execution platform in Loguetown"

"The moment the long sword pierces your heart"

"This power will then be fully activated."

Roger held his breath. The tearing pain in his chest was forgotten.

He stared intently at Chen Ye.

"It will protect your soul and body when the fatal blow lands."

"It will give you a perfect state of feigned death."

"In the eyes of the whole world, the Pirate King is dead."

"Your life paper will burn out completely."

Your breathing and heartbeat will stop completely.

Even the most advanced Observation Haki cannot detect life.

Chen Ye leaned forward, his gaze piercing Roger's eyes.

But this is just an illusion.

"This force detonated in the midst of death."

"I can pinpoint your exact spacetime coordinates."

"I will transcend time and space"

"Pulling you back from a state of suspended animation into the real world"

The ward was deathly silent. Chen Ye's cold, hard voice echoed.

"The world government thought they had brought an era to a close."

The world believed you risked your life to usher in the Age of Exploration.

"Actually, you're just using them as a front to deceive everyone."

When you open your eyes again

"You have been summoned back to this time and space by me."

Chen Ye paused for a moment. Then he uttered the most weighty sentence.

"Then let's fight Im together."

Roger sat motionless on the hospital bed, his mind momentarily blank.

Chen Ye's words shattered his gloomy world.

He lowered his head, staring intently at his chest.

My heart was pounding violently in my chest.

Each pulsation touches upon a deep, golden power.

Feigning death. Transcending time and space.

Return to the present world. Overthrow the world government.

Four words swirled wildly in his mind. Roger's breathing quickened.

His hands gripped the sheets tightly. His knuckles turned bluish-white from the excessive force.

The ending was already predetermined.

He felt guilty towards Rouge. He felt worried about Ace.

He died alone in Loguetown. He ushered in a new era with his death.

Leave the heavy burden and storms to those behind.

The blood debt I owe in this lifetime will never have a chance to be repaid.

Now Chen Ye has provided a second option.

Rebirth.

Not only will it save their lives, but they will also be able to participate in the war to overthrow the world government in the future.

Roger's body trembled uncontrollably.

It wasn't fear. It wasn't pain.

It is an extremely excited physiological reaction.

His eyes gradually brightened. A burst of fervor erupted after being suppressed to the extreme.

There was no despondency or deathly silence. Only an ambition and fighting spirit to burn everything.

"I can come back."

Roger muttered to himself, his voice trembling.

"I can stand on this vast sea again."

He suddenly looked up and stared directly at Chen Ye. His eyes blazed with wild joy.

"I can even personally kill that bastard named Im."

Roger gritted his teeth and roared. He couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips.

His facial muscles were twitching and spasming, accompanied by bandages covered in blood.

It was exceptionally ferocious, exuding a chillingly heroic air.

Finally, I won't die with regrets. All my anger and guilt have a target to vent.

The power of feigned death within the body is the only chance to reverse life and death.

Chen Ye stared coldly at Roger, not interrupting his emotional outburst.

After Roger calmed down a bit, Chen Ye spoke again.

Don't be too happy yet.

"You still have a ton of mess to clean up."

Chen Ye's voice was like a bucket of cold water being poured over him.

Roger forcibly suppressed his elation. He knew what Chen Ye meant.

He was forcibly dragged to the future.

In the original timeline, the crew members were still waiting for him.

Rayleigh. Jabba. Shanks. Bucky.

His brothers, who had risked their lives for him, were accompanying him to the end.

Disappearing for too long can cause unrest.

Especially Rayleigh. He would never overlook the slightest clue.

Chen Ye added in a flat tone.

You don't need to worry about your crew becoming suspicious.

"The flow rates of spacetime are different on both sides."

Roger was taken aback. He pricked up his ears.

"During the time you disappeared from Future Island"

"In the original timeline, it would only be a blink of an eye."

"When you are sent back"

"You're still standing on that vanished deck."

"Only a few seconds may have passed."

"Rayle and the others won't notice you were gone."

"You just need to keep playing the role of the Pirate King who is about to reach the top."

"Complete your mission"

Roger exhaled a heavy breath. A great weight was lifted from his heart.

Chen Ye's arrangements were meticulous. His feigned death was his trump card. Returning to the details, everything was crystal clear.

Completely eliminate any worries.

He could go back without any burden, facing familiar faces.

There will be no flaws. This is no longer a matter of life and death.

Roger kept his head down. His shoulders shrugged.

"hehe"

A low chuckle rolled down his throat. The laughter grew louder and louder.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Roger threw his head back and burst into unrestrained laughter. The laughter pierced the deathly silence of the ward.

It surged within the golden barrier.

He laughed forcefully. His chest wound reopened and bled.

Tears welled up in her eyes from laughing.

He saw through Chen Ye's scheme completely.

Chen Ye had been scheming from the very beginning.

The cruel future is ruthlessly revealed. The guilt is amplified by Ace's childhood and Rouge's tragic death.

He allowed Ace to beat him to a pulp in the square, letting him taste the bitterness of resentment that had lasted for twenty years.

When you're plunged into the deepest despair, when you don't even have the right to atone for your sins.

Chenye threw out Im.

Ace's hatred. Rouge's fate. Im's existence.

Three bloody, messy accounts. They forcefully paved an irresistible path to resurrection.

It wasn't a favor at all. It was a calculated scheme.

He schemed against the Pirate King to the core, yet the Pirate King relished it all.

Roger laughed until he was breathless.

He lived his life without being controlled by anyone. He pursued absolute freedom.

But this time, I accepted the defeat wholeheartedly.

Willingly jumping into the pit Chen Ye dug, intending to tear the world government apart from within.

"You're a really scary guy."

Roger stopped laughing. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

He stared intently at Chen Ye, his eyes filled with arrogance and wildness.

You've figured out everyone's intentions.

Even someone as dead as me is being squeezed dry of every last drop of value.

Chen Ye did not deny it. She looked at him coldly.

"I'll take this deal."

Roger grinned, revealing a bloodshot, sinister smile.

"I will do as you say."

I will disband the pirate crew.

I will turn myself in.

"I will die in Loguetown."

"But you'd better remember your promise."

"Wait until I open my eyes again."

"I want to see that guy named Im roll off the throne!"

The dormant power of feigned death within him will become a hidden pawn tearing apart the old era on the eve of the final battle.

Roger couldn't wait.

While the world government rested on its laurels, the spirits that should have died...

He took up his knife and returned to Mary Geoise to fight his way back.

Chen Ye stood up. The metal chair scraped against the ground with a sharp sound.

He ignored grand pronouncements and focused only on results.

The recruitment of combat forces has been completed. The lingering resentment has fueled his desire for revenge.

A chess piece that transcends time and space. It lands steadily on the chessboard.

Your current physical condition is too poor.

"A forced attempt at time travel would be torn apart by the turbulence."

Chen Ye's tone was flat and devoid of emotion.

He turned and walked toward the door.

"Please rest and recuperate peacefully on Future Island these next few days."

"Vegapunk and Chopper will use the best resources to treat you."

Chen Ye gave the order with his back to Roger.

"Wait until you recover"

I will personally take you back.

Chen Ye raised his hand and waved it. The pale blue barrier shattered instantly.

The light spot dissipated.

The roar of machinery from the outside world surged in once more, breaking the deathly silence.

Roger watched Chen Ye's figure disappear without saying a word.

I lay back down on the hospital bed. I closed my eyes.

A golden power pulsed rhythmically deep within my chest.

It gradually synchronizes with the heartbeat. It becomes a part of the body.

A dead end leading to death. It becomes a hidden lair.

When he returned to that familiar ship, he was no longer a fading hero awaiting death.

He's an undercover agent with a shocking trump card, ready to overturn the entire world.

One Piece carries a trump card that can reverse life and death.

Prepare for the longest sleep of your life.

Go to death.
