The curse on Roger...
Makima's lips curved slightly upward.
Of course, this thing was put on Roger by Genichi.
Actually, Roger was originally going to die from a terminal illness, but that terminal illness was targeting the Roger of the past.
Although the Roger of the past had powerful Haki, he was essentially just a human. Since he was human, he would naturally be bound by birth, aging, illness, and death.
But he's different now. Devil Fruits don't matter so much, but the most important thing is the Monster Cells and Shikon Jewel shards. These two things can improve a person's essential nature. The current Roger can no longer be considered a simple human.
So it's hard to say whether Roger will still die from that legendary terminal illness. After all, you can't use common sense to describe terminal illnesses in fantasy worlds.
Even a Super Saiyan can die from heart disease!
However, to be safe, Genichi himself will also take action. But it's not that he actively applies anything, but that when the terminal illness appears, he will actively suppress the part of his power in Roger's body.
One era cannot have two chosen ones. Once Roger becomes the Pirate King, his era is destined to end.
Compared to Roger, Luffy is Genichi's important tool. Both Genichi and this world are destined to have Roger open up a great pirate era. Although it sounds cruel, that's how the world works.
But compared to the original story, Genichi at least left Roger a clone.
It can be considered his contribution to Genichi in the early stages...
So Makima knew nothing about Rayleigh's reply.
"Mr. Rayleigh, you may have misunderstood me. I am a devil hunter, but I am not a devil. What I am familiar with is the battle between humans and devils. Gol D. Roger has fused devil cells and is essentially a half-devil, half-human demon."
"So, this is a battle between devils. I don't think Mr. Rayleigh should ask me about this kind of question, because I am happy to see infighting between devils."
"Secondly, I belong to the World Government and am The Black Order Fleet Admiral. There is no reason or necessity for me to help a pirate, even if I am not a Marine. Although we have cooperated twice... I also feel sorry for what happened to Roger, but I think I am helpless."
Makima wrote such a reply. A flying bird picked it up and, under Makima's control, would pass it on to Rayleigh.
Although doing so would make Rayleigh feel dissatisfied, she didn't care.
Rayleigh has signed a contract with her that he cannot resist. Before the contract is completed, Rayleigh still has to carry out Makima's tasks, no matter how dissatisfied he is.
This world is like this. It will not transfer fate based on someone's will, unless...
You can become strong to a certain extent.
The Roger Pirates initially did not have the power to fight against the fate of this world, and now they do not have the power to fight against the fate of this world and Genichi together.
So, their fate is already sealed.
Ignorance is not a sin in this world, weakness is.
Genichi really wants to know who the character card brought by 100 million emotion points that transcends the fate of this world is, and he is also curious about what kind of power he possesses. As long as he still has this curiosity, then he will pursue emotion points.
Then...
He will make the world operate in the way that suits him best.
On this point, he and the world are consistent, including the things that come later are actually similar.
Later, the world wanted to train the chosen one, and Genichi also wanted to play with Luffy, arrange scripts for him, and get emotion points to level up. But in the end, he and the world would inevitably come into conflict.
He could foresee that this world would never allow anyone to transcend it. No matter how much Genichi stirred things up before, it was all done within the world. To put it bluntly, although many people died, it was beneficial to the world.
The props and characters from other worlds that Genichi brought would bring different rules after they appeared, and that rule would merge with the rules of the One Piece world, so the limit of this world would rise.
But 100 million emotion points is different. The rules brought by a character card of this level cannot be integrated by the world, and they far surpass it. Of course, this is not allowed by the world.
However, at present, the world should not know the upper limit of Genichi's abilities, so they are still in the honeymoon period, and Genichi can shamelessly say that everything he does is for this world.
This letter soon returned to the sea. Because The Black Order itself was also in the New World, the bird didn't take long to deliver the letter to Rayleigh.
Rayleigh read the letter while carrying Roger on his back, and burned it to ashes with a blank expression.
Although he had a vague guess in his heart and he felt that Makima would not help Roger, it still felt despairing to actually receive such a reply.
Even Makima can't help, or rather, doesn't want to help, so who else can he go to?
"Vice-Captain!"
Just as Rayleigh was thinking, a voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
Rayleigh turned around and looked at Mumei walking over and said, "What's wrong?"
"I just sensed a special fluctuation, and it feels related to ascending to the altar." Mumei said.
?!
Rayleigh's pupils shrank. Ascending to the altar?
That mysterious altar that once appeared in Jaltzburg fortress, it has the ability to transform people into devils. Devil cells are likely to have been produced because of that altar.
Rayleigh himself also has a task assigned by Makima, which is to pay attention to devils on the sea, either eliminate them or pass the news to The Black Order.
And now the appearance of an ascending altar is likely to involve devils.
"Let's go, let's go take a look."
Rayleigh said immediately.
Because Roger was cursed, the people on the ship intentionally or unintentionally did not want Roger to take action again. They believed that fighting might lead to the deterioration of Roger's body.
So Mumei came to inform Rayleigh, the vice-captain.
Roger has also been quite busy recently. After learning that there was a curse on his body, he has been working hard to practice his Observation Haki, striving to reach the realm of analyzing all things. At that time, he will be able to interpret ancient history himself.
In that case, he might be able to find the location of the final island, so he often locks himself in the room during this time.
So they don't know at all...
In fact, everything they do is under Roger's surveillance!
In order to train his Observation Haki, Roger has put himself in a state where he keeps Observation Haki fully open at all times. Rayleigh secretly sending a letter to The Black Order and Makima's reply, and Mumei saying that there is an ascending altar nearby, all of this is under Roger's observation.
