Chat Group For The Dead : Start From One Piece

Pirate King Roger: "Um... how should I put this? I saw a lot of things on Raftel. I finally understood the true nature of this world. Compared to the destruction caused by pirates, the World Government is a far greater disaster. What pirates do is just a drop in the bucket by comparison."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Oh? So you started this so-called Great Pirate Era because you thought a bunch of weakling wannabes could overthrow the World Government? Don't make me laugh! These little brats aren't even worth considering!"

Fisher Tiger: "He's not wrong. Compared to the crimes of the World Government, pirates might seem like the lesser evil… but the chaos they bring is direct. Because of this Great Pirate Era, piracy has spread like wildfire, and now even more people are choosing to support the World Government out of fear."

Whitebeard: "Roger, you miscalculated!"

Fire Fist Ace: "Making reckless decisions without thinking about the consequences… that's incredibly irresponsible."

Lucas: "Let me get this straight. You hated the World Government more than you hated pirates, so you decided to replace the World Government with pirates?"

Pirate King Roger: "No, you don't get it. I didn't put my hopes on pirates at all. The Great Age of Pirates was inevitable—even without me, it would've happened sooner or later. The darkness of the World Government is too deep. Eventually, it would have collapsed under its own weight, and before that collapse, the world would have naturally entered an age of piracy."

Golden Lion Shiki: "And? What exactly are you trying to say?"

Whitebeard: "Wait… are you saying you accelerated the process on purpose? That you made the Great Pirate Era happen earlier?"

Pirate King Roger: "That's right. Think of the world as a pirate ship, with the World Government acting as its captain. That captain is steering the ship straight into the abyss… and no one can stop it."

Pirate King Roger: "So rather than waiting for the inevitable, I decided to speed it up. I added a turbo engine to the ship so it would reach its destination faster, skipping the long, painful waiting period."

Lucas: "Damn! I wasn't expecting this. Roger, you actually invented accelerationism without even knowing what it was?!"

Pirate King Roger: "What's accelerationism? I just believed that the world wouldn't be destroyed. By pushing forward the collapse of the World Government, we could skip an era of prolonged suffering."

Lucas: "From a global perspective, you shortened the period of darkness. But for the people actually living through it… they're the ones suffering the most."

Fisher Tiger: "Exactly. You forced an entire generation to endure hell for the sake of future generations. Why?"

Lucas: "That's the problem! It's fine if wealthy people make sacrifices for their descendants—they can afford to suffer. But for the truly poor, the ones who have nothing? They don't even have descendants to inherit the future you're fighting for."

Pirate King Roger: "What do you mean?"

Lucas: "It means that extreme poverty doesn't last beyond three generations. If a family stays poor for too long, they eventually die out. They can't afford to marry, they can't afford to have children, and eventually, their bloodline ends. That's what I mean when I say poverty can only last three generations."

Whitebeard: "Gurarara! That's an interesting way to look at it. By that logic, those who are suffering in this era should have a serious grudge against Roger."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Tch! What a waste of time. Roger is still as much of an idiot as ever. If you wanted to take down the World Government, all you had to do was work with me!"

Golden Lion Shiki: "If you had accepted my proposal back then, we could've combined your power with my military power. The world would've been ours! There would've been no need for all this nonsense!"

Pirate King Roger: "Shiki, I've told you a hundred times—I have zero interest in ruling the world."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Who said you had to rule? Just leave it to me!"

Pirate King Roger: "And that's exactly why I refused. You're no better than the World Government. There's no point in replacing one tyrant with another."

Golden Lion Shiki: "You bastard…!"

Lucas: "Roger, that was a little harsh, don't you think? You know… Shiki loves you deeply!"

Pirate King Roger: "Huh?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "What kind of nonsense are you spouting?!"

Whitebeard: "Heh! Now this is getting interesting. Keep going."

Lucas: "Let me remind you of something, Roger. When the World Government announced that you had been captured, Shiki was furious. He stormed Marineford alone and fought both Garp and Sengoku at the same time! He didn't stop until they finally managed to take him down!"

Pirate King Roger: "Oh~ Garp did tell me about that. But wasn't Shiki just trying to get his hands on the last island location?"

Lucas: "Are you stupid?! If Shiki really wanted information, the smartest thing to do would've been to break into Impel Down and rescue you. That way, he could've gotten the information straight from you. But he didn't! Instead, he attacked Marineford—just to vent his anger!"

Pirate King Roger: "Now that you mention it… is this stupid lion actually out of his mind?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "ROGER~!"

Shiki gritted his teeth so hard it sounded like grinding metal.

Lucas: "Who knows? What I do know is that he was obsessed with you. And that obsession lasted his entire life."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Shut up! I stormed Marineford because I wanted the truth! I didn't go to Impel Down because I knew that bastard wouldn't tell me anything!"

Pirate King Roger: "I see now! No wonder Shiki never became one of the Four Emperors! It turns out that this fool got himself captured by the World Government instead!"
