One Piece: Getting Stronger by Writing a Diary

Sadi: "Arton is quite daring…"

Kozuki Hiyori: "Roger's slash, huh? That means Arton can also copy my father's slash, right?"

Charlotte Smoothie: "Will the power of Roger reappear in this world in such a way?"

Gion: "Roger's full-power slash… I wonder how it compares to the current Dracule Mihawk."

[Anime Clip: Roger's "Divine Departure" versus Oden!]

[Anime Clip: Roger clashing with Whitebeard!]

Whitey Bay: "Hmm?! Anime... Wait! This is something I experienced!"

Kozuki Hiyori: "Anime?! So this is the animation Arton watched. It really exists. Father was sent flying by Roger in one blow!"

Rebecca: "Whitebeard and Roger... The entire island is trembling?! Are you kidding me? Is this something humanly possible?!"

Gion: "This is the power of Roger and a young Whitebeard? The sky seems to be wailing."

[Roger's power was immense, and so was Whitebeard's in his prime.]

[It's a pity that the current Whitebeard is sick. If he had the power of his younger days...]

[He wouldn't have fallen during the War of the Best... But anyway, that old man was indeed a remarkable strong man.]

Whitey Bay: "So Dad did participate in the War of the Best! Arton, you have to explain what happened to him!"

Gion: "Now it's confirmed that Whitebeard will appear during the War of the Best! Whitebeard is sick, huh? This is useful information."

Charlotte Smoothie: "Heh, this will be interesting to watch."

[Buggy is indeed very low-key.]

[It makes sense. If he really took Shiki's corpse, there might be journalists reporting his involvement in Shiki's death.]

[If that were the case, not only the Navy but also Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido, and others who were once part of the Rocks Pirates with Shiki would focus their attention on him.]

[In that scenario, no matter how much Buggy tries to stay low-key, he won't be able to.]

[Speaking of which, the Rocks Pirates were truly a breeding ground for talent.]

[Three out of the Four Emperors emerged from that pirate crew.]

[As I recall, Kaido was still an apprentice pirate when he was with the Rocks Pirates.]

[When Charlotte Linlin gave Kaido the Azure Dragon "Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Type, Azure Dragon Model," did she foresee his future potential?]

[Or perhaps, there was something going on between them?]

[Could it be that Charlotte Linlin started marrying so many husbands to hurt Kaido after he abandoned her?]

[If that's the case, that would indeed be quite dramatic.]

Yamato: "What?! My mom couldn't be Big Mom, could she?!"

Charlotte Custard: "No, that can't be. Could one of us have inherited Kaido's bloodline?"

Charlotte Galette: "So, this is why the Big Mom Pirates and the Beast Pirates will ally in the future?"

Whitey Bay: "The Rocks Pirates, huh? Why did Dad never mention them?"

Ain: "Shiki, Whitebeard, Kaido, and other famous pirates all came from the Rocks Pirates. How did such a powerful pirate crew get destroyed?"

Kujaku: "If there was such a relationship between Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, they could ally at any time. Considering that Whitebeard, Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin all came from the same pirate crew... Could they really ally and appear together in the War of the Best?"

Black Maria: "It seems we know very little about Kaido-sama~ The Rocks Pirates must have been an enormous force."

[Speaking of the Rocks Pirates, the Navy and the World Government are truly shameless.]

Gion: "?!"

[Back then, Rocks aimed to become the king of the world and led a group of ruthless individuals to bare their fangs at the World Government.]

[A war involving pirates, the Navy, and the World Government quickly broke out.]

Kalifa: "Baring fangs at the World Government?!"

[In the end, the Navy and the Roger Pirates joined forces to defeat the Rocks Pirates.]

[Garp and Roger teamed up to defeat the captain of the Rocks Pirates, Rocks!]

Ain: "Vice Admiral Garp and Roger teamed up?"

Ulti: "The Navy hero and the Pirate King cooperated?!"

[As a result, even though Roger wasn't fighting to protect the Celestial Dragons, he certainly contributed greatly.]

[But in the end, the Navy and the World Government claimed all the credit for the fight against the Rocks Pirates.]

[Garp's title as a Navy hero came from this war, even though the Navy and the World Government sealed off information about the Rocks Pirates to keep it from spreading.]

[I wonder if Garp feels ashamed of this title, considering the decision to erase the Roger Pirates' contributions was made by others.]

[Tsk tsk, the Navy and the World Government are truly shameless.]

Gion: "..."

Kalifa: "..."

Charlotte Smoothie: "No matter what, well said. That's the man I admire."

Black Maria: "Fufu~ what an interesting past... No wonder we didn't know about the Rocks Pirates. It was all sealed off."

Whitey Bay: "So that's the kind of history Dad had."

Kujaku: "It feels... complicated."

Hibari: "Although the Roger Pirates were pirates, the Navy and the World Government's actions seem... rather despicable."

Doll: "Reading more of Arton's diary makes you question justice. I wonder if the younger generation can handle it, sigh..."

Indeed, just as Doll feared.

Hibari, who was currently on the same warship as Doll, felt increasingly conflicted.

As for Tashigi, who was still by Arton's side...

She hadn't yet had the chance to look at her own diary copy, so she was unaware of what Arton had just revealed.
