Scenes from four years ago flashed rapidly through the tough man's mind. His face was full of smiles, but tears flowed uncontrollably down his cheeks.
Inside the bar, no one could understand what this tearful giant was thinking, but they all tacitly kept quiet.
Rojen stood up. Behind him, Robin was also in tears. The three of them shared far too many memories. They had supported and helped one another, willing to give up everything for each other without hesitation. They were the most trusted companions, able to entrust their very lives to one another.
"Captain!" Jason spread his arms and gave Rojen a fierce hug.
"Jason, do you still recognize me?"
Robin smiled through tears, overjoyed to see him.
"You are… Robin?!"
Jason was a little shocked. Four years had passed, and the girl from before had already grown into an adult…. curvy, mature, and radiating charm from head to toe.
"My name is Robin. Nice to meet you, Jason." Robin extended her small hand with a smile.
"Uh, nice to meet you too, Robin!" Jason shook her hand and let out a silly chuckle.
Then he turned his head toward Nalen.
"And who is this?"
"I'm Nalen. From now on, I'll be the ship's doctor."
Nalen nodded.
"Hehe, Captain, after not seeing you for a while, you've brought back quite a few beauties."
Jason scratched his head and grinned foolishly.
That sentence instantly made black lines appear across Rojen's forehead. What did he mean by brought back a bunch of beauties?
The group didn't stay at the entrance for long and entered the bar.
The others didn't disturb their reunion, only whispering quietly among themselves.
"This big guy is terrifyingly built. Who is he?"
"Four years ago, this guy was also savage to the extreme. He was known as Nether Soul Rojen's right-hand man, nicknamed Armor-Crusher Jason!"
"I once saw his bounty poster. He was a man worth over 200 million!"
"Two hundred million?!"
Everyone swallowed nervously and carefully glanced at Jason.
He had already been worth over 200 million four years ago, how strong had he become after four more years?
No one interrupted Rojen and his group's meal. They all vaguely sensed that next, they would witness the arrival of a group of extraordinary individuals.
That day, at dusk…
At the harbor of Trosky Island, a small wooden boat slowly docked.
Then, under the watchful gazes of the surrounding pirates, two young men in mysterious black military uniforms stepped ashore.
One of them had a cold, expressionless face, while the other was full of curiosity, constantly looking around.
"Where did these brats come from? You still dare come onto this island? Don't you know Lord Rojen is currently here?"
"Brats without fame or strength have no business setting foot on Trosky Island right now!"
"Get lost now, or we won't be polite!"
Because of Rojen's reputation and the Marines' retreat, the pirates around Trosky Island had spontaneously organized themselves into a defensive force. They refused to allow any weaklings to disturb the rest of this king.
At this moment, Trosky Island had become forbidden territory for pirates with bounties under ten million, or for anyone lacking sufficient strength.
This forbidden zone had been created spontaneously by pirates who admired and revered Rojen and the Nether Soul Pirates.
It had to be said that the influence of a great pirate was truly astonishing.
Rojen was simply sitting there doing nothing, yet pirates had already taken it upon themselves to act on his behalf, shielding him from all unnecessary trouble.
The pirates' words caused the young man in black military uniform, who had been walking forward with lowered head and indifferent eyes, to slowly raise his gaze.
"So it's here? Looks like I didn't come to the wrong place." A smile appeared on the young man's face as he continued walking forward.
The other young man beside him, who had been glancing around everywhere, mischievously made faces at the pirates on both sides, instantly infuriating the fierce-looking pirates.
"This brat is mocking us?"
"Take him down! These two are way too arrogant!"
"Open fire! Let them know how strong we are!"
The pirates acted decisively, directly drawing their guns and pulling the triggers.
Bang bang bang bang!
In an instant, thirteen gunshots rang out.
The thirteen men who attacked were all well-known snipers in West Blue, their marksmanship practically at the peak of the region.
But the moment the gunshots rang out, gasps came from the crowd watching nearby.
What had they just seen?
The man carrying a black package on his back, dressed in black military attire with an indifferent expression, his body had actually flickered more than a dozen times in an instant, leaving behind a string of afterimages.
Then, all the bullets were miraculously dodged by him.
Even more shocking was that because the attacking pirates had been roughly facing each other, the bullets he evaded ended up simultaneously striking their own comrades.
"Ugh!"
Painful groans rang out quickly, and in an instant, five or six men collapsed to the ground.
"This guy!"
That one move made all the pirates realize that this young man was no ordinary person.
The man who had effortlessly dodged the gunfire continued stepping forward calmly and quickly. Even under the barrage of those thirteen shots, his speed hadn't fluctuated in the slightest.
As for the other young man, he was still making silly faces, his expression completely fearless.
"Chaporos, hurry up. Stop messing around."
Calling out to the playful youth beside him, the young man in black soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
From beginning to end, he hadn't spared the pirates on either side even a single glance, focused only on walking his own path.
Only after the two had disappeared from view did the men who had fallen earlier slowly get back up, their faces twisted with both pain and ugly expressions.
"That guy is definitely an expert. He must be from the Grand Line!"
That firm statement caused silence to fall over the entire area.
"Could he be one of the companions Lord Rojen is waiting for?"
That sudden sentence made everyone's faces turn pale.
Because everyone believed it.
In all of West Blue, perhaps only Rojen's companions could possess such unbelievable abilities.
"That young man is Trens."
Talos lowered his binoculars with an ugly expression and spoke softly.
Rojen's companions were returning one by one.
Four years ago, they had already been among the first generation of Supernovas. Four years later, these people were likely even more terrifying.
The Marines' bounty assessments for them would probably have to rise by another tier.
Without a doubt, once Rojen and the Nether Soul Pirates entered the New World, they would immediately become the fourth great force that the Marines had to pay close attention to.
After Trens departed, the harbor gradually calmed down again.
The pirates continued spontaneously organizing themselves.
They didn't believe their luck could be that terrible, to casually run into another Nether Soul crew member so soon.
On the contrary, if they could remain here and quietly stand guard for the admired Big Brother Rojen, it would become the proudest achievement of their lives.
"Continue guarding the area! Drive away all unrelated people on sight!"
"From the moment Lord Rojen stepped onto this island, we pirates have already sealed off the entire island!"
