One Piece: The Opening Games Was Recovered by Roger

Time flew like a fleeting shadow, and in the blink of an eye, two and a half years had passed.

During this time, Leo traveled with the Roger Pirates across countless dangerous islands and perilous seas, encountering many formidable pirates. Through one battle after another, his Haki and physical skills improved at an astonishing pace. His once slender frame had become lean and muscular, with eight well-defined abs that gave him a commanding, manly presence.

At the same time, through relentless training and lucky draws from the system, Leo had gained an incredible number of powerful items and abilities.

Leo couldn't help but grin as he looked at his stats. He had already reached the level where he could go head-to-head with Douglas Bullet in his serious state. In their most recent sparring match, Leo's Wood Release's terrifying healing and recovery abilities had put unprecedented pressure on Bullet.

With Haki and Devil Fruit powers evenly matched—or even slightly in Leo's favor—the once arrogant and disdainful Bullet was left frustrated and helpless.

No one, not even the Roger Pirates themselves, had expected Leo's strength to grow so monstrously in just two and a half years. Except for Roger himself, no one could confidently claim they could defeat Leo anymore.

"I'm getting more and more eager to meet you, the samurai of the Whitebeard Pirates—Kozuki Oden!" On the Oro Jackson, Roger, who was currently hooked up to an IV, stared intently at the newspaper. Determination shone in his eyes as he resolved to meet Whitebeard Newgate.

Bam!

"Quiet down, Roger! Sit still and get your treatment."

Ship doctor Crocus frowned, delivering a sharp flick to Roger's forehead that instantly subdued the once-mighty pirate. Like a scolded child, Roger sat obediently, allowing Crocus to continue his treatment.

There was no helping it—if Roger wanted to complete the final voyage, he needed to stay alive. And in this case, the ship doctor's words were law.

Just as Roger was about to order the crew to set sail toward Whitebeard's territory, the clear blue sky suddenly darkened with heavy clouds.

A crushing wave of pressure surged from the distance, predatory and suffocating like a monstrous beast revealing its fangs.

The once calm sea roared with fury. Towering waves, more than ten meters high, battered the Oro Jackson one after another.

"Captain Roger, bad news—we're surrounded!"

"Captain Roger! The lookout spotted something—we're completely surrounded!"

The scout from the crow's nest rushed down, breathless, to deliver his report.

"That persistent bastard... Shiki the Golden Lion!"

Hearing that they were surrounded by the Flying Pirate Fleet, Roger let out a small sigh. He hadn't expected that after all these years, Shiki still hadn't given up.

"Hahahahaha! Roger, we meet again. What a coincidence!"

Roger Pirates: Coincidence, my ass! You stalker!

Ten minutes later, the Flying Pirate Fleet had completely encircled the Oro Jackson. At the front of a massive pirate ship, a man with golden hair and a cigar clenched between his teeth strode forward step by step. When he reached the bow, staring at Roger across a mere hundred-meter distance, the Golden Lion revealed an excited grin.

It was clear that this encirclement had been planned by Shiki for a long time. As the Roger Pirates' fame spread and their influence on the Grand Line grew, Shiki's desire to recruit Roger became stronger and stronger. Having once witnessed Roger's strength with his own eyes during the God Valley incident, Shiki was convinced—if Roger joined the Flying Pirates, Shiki would have the confidence to become the next ruler of the New World, just like Rocks once was.

"Hmph, Shiki… do you really expect me to believe this is a coincidence?" Roger frowned, taking a bold step forward. His black eyes locked coldly on Golden Lion Shiki as he spoke in a calm and steady voice.

"Jiehahaha! Roger, no matter how much I think it over, I still can't let you go. Join me! Be my right hand. Together, we'll rule the world!" Shiki spread his arms wide, extending his invitation once again.

"I have no interest in ruling, Shiki!

If a pirate doesn't pursue what he truly wants, then what's the point of being a pirate? No matter how much pressure you put on me, Golden Lion, I will never accept your proposal."

"C-Captain Roger, .·′ˉ(＞▂＜)′ˉ·. maybe… maybe we should just accept his offer for now? Look at all those ships! There are dozens of them! We're doomed!" Buggy wailed, trembling.

Even though Leo had drilled plenty of ideals into him, and even after two years of training, Buggy's cowardly nature hadn't changed. The sheer size of Shiki's armada left him completely terrified.

After all, this wasn't just some no-name pirate. This was Golden Lion Shiki—one of the three great pirates who stood shoulder to shoulder with Roger and Whitebeard, a man with the power to shatter the seas themselves.

"Buggy, shut it." Rayleigh reached out, grabbed Buggy by the scruff of his neck, and dragged him back. His gaze was firm as steel, fixed on Roger.

Rayleigh understood. This was the captain's decision.

No matter what, it had to be carried out. Otherwise, what kind of crew would they be? What kind of pirates?

In moments like this, the captain's order was absolute.

"So… in other words, you're telling me I should just kill you here and now, right, Roger?!" Golden Lion Shiki's face twisted in fury.

Though they were enemies with plenty of history between them, Shiki had always admired Roger and wanted him as an ally. But Roger had rejected him every single time.

However, as a man of ambition and resolve, Shiki knew that when the moment came, you either seized it or lost everything. If Roger wouldn't join him, then Shiki would kill him—and eliminate his greatest rival.

"What I'm saying… is that I'll sink every single one of your ships, Shiki." Roger stared at him, eyes sharp and unwavering.

"Attack!"
