Roger was a man that did the unexpected to say the least. The man had managed to rule the seas and be a free man. Despite him not having a devil fruit like most powerful people had in this world, in fact none in his crew had one which made his Pirate Crew seem a bit special for their merits in the past.
Now he was a man who had just formed an alliance with a very powerful man. Well, to be honest Roger did not even know the true power of Garp’s son. However he had surpassed and claimed the title as the most dangerous man in the world and has a bounty that surpassed even his. Yet he did not know if it was just because the fact that he had recently declared war against the New Government, or was he even as powerful as him and Whitebeard, if not even more? Roger had no idea, it seemed like Dragon was not the type of person that showed off for no reason. He remained very hideous of everything.
Standing on the deck on his ship, for once alone. The male could not help but grin, well he had not been smiling ever since Crocus managed to cure him recently. A herb underwater was the main ingredient that helped him get out of that terrible disease. Last time he even smiled was the moment when he finally reached Raftel, no also when he found out about Rouge carrying his child.
As the Pirate King finally reached the Moby Dick, Roger wasted no time to jump up onto the grand ship, dusting off his clothes as he took his steps towards the much larger man, yet Roger were a few years older. “Heh, it has been awhile hasn’t it Edward? Still looking good as usual! But you should drink less, it might be bad consequences in future.” Roger spoke with a laugh as he sat down calmly in front of the big man that sat comfortable on his throne-like chair.
Roger glanced to the side to see an angered blonde haired man at his words, the man must be in his early 20s. “Oh, and you must be Marco right? I have heard a lot of you. So you are with Edward?” The male spoke as he raised an eyebrow. “It seems like…you have it quite comfortable here.”
“Says the man that claimed to be dying last I saw him. How’d you manage that one?” He questioned the Pirate King as the world was calling him now. They were like two old friends in the moment. Though that was typically how it was between them. Friendly rivals, even when he was on Rocks’ crew it was more of a rivalry than any actual hatred. “I heard you partnered up with Garp’s brat, what’s that all about?” Ed questioned as he offered the other some Sake.
He waved Marco to calm down. The Phoenix could be quite protective of him at times and likely thought Roger was here for a fight. Marco was the oldest of his son’s. Having been with Whitebeard not long after he The Rocks pirates disbanded.
Marco crossed his arms, “We’ve met before - Yoi.” He reminded Roger, though he was younger and likely not as memorable back then.
“I have the family I built over the years… well all except the women I’d have made their mother. You won that one. How is she? Rouge?” He asked without any bitterness or jealousy. He truly did hope that she was happy.
“Hmm, we have? Oh yeah right! You are that little kid we met years ago. You have certainly grown a lot Marco.” The Pirate King mused with a grin on his lips. Sure, Roger could be quite the violent Pirate if wrong person stumbled upon him. However, he was in fact a very calm individual around people he respected and cared about. Even though Edward had been his rival for who knows how many years, he still also considered him as a great friend of his.
Catching the sake he was offered, Roger could not help but grin as he took a sip from the sake that he was given and exchanged his glance, now looking at Whitebeard with a wide grin on his lips. “Oh right, how I survived? Well let’s say that my dear doctor found the cure. In fact the ingredient was a herb growing far down under the water.” Roger stated calmly as he laid down on his back and looked up at the clear blue sky. “A new adventure, it is all I wanted. You know I couldn’t leave the sea for good. Besides, I like Dragons ideals. That man is very mysterious. He might be as strong as us, if not even more.”
When Whitebeard mentioned his wife, he could only let out a sigh, but smile gently at the question. He knew both had fallen for Rouge in the past. In fact he did not even know if the male had any feelings for Rouge still. He was still very happy that it did not ruin their relationship because Roger considered Whitebeard as one of his best friends. “Rouge...she is very well. She is waiting to give birth to our first child. So I am travelling home soon for awhile. Would be a terrible husband if I left her alone during her labor right? It is a boy that is all I know. I have a feeling you will like the kid, well you like me after all, haha!” The Pirate King mused as he got up from his seat and took a few steps closer the Yonko, now a serious expression on his face.
“Hey Edward, I came here to ask...would you like to be the Godfather of my child eh?”
