One year later, Roger turned himself in to the Marines who decided to make a public execution of him to throw fear into pirates around the world. Eventually, Roger disbanded his crew who silently went their separate ways, fates unknown. But Roger enjoyed it anyway, as he was a man who loved doing everything in grand style. However, the title was meaningless since he was about to die. Rayleigh continues, stating that after they conquered the sea, Roger was dubbed the Pirate King. Rayleigh even tells them that the reason Crocus joined was to find a certain pirate crew, which the Straw Hats figure must have been the Rumbar Pirates, bringing tears to Brook's eyes sockets. This surprises the Straw Hats, Brook especially, since Crocus did reveal to them he was a pirate doctor for a time. His crew, however, had come across Crocus at the entrance of the Grand Line and asked him to join them on Roger's final journey to keep his disease in check.ДЇinally, after three years, they had managed to conquer the Grand Line. It was because four years before he was executed, Roger was diagnosed with an incurable disease. Rayleigh goes on to tell them the reason why.

The government just made it seem that way to show their strength to the public. Sanji then questions how he could still be alive if Roger's crew was captured, to which Rayleigh reveals that Roger actually turned himself in. Rayleigh also reveals how he met Hachi (the Fish-Man had saved Rayleigh's life when he was a kid, and they had remained friends 'till Hachi joined Arlong's crew, then named the Sun Pirates). Roger, much to their surprise (Hachi apparently knew this too, but did not tell them since they just needed a coater). The Straw Hats then head back to Shakky's Bar to treat Hachi's gun wound.ДЄs they do so, they talk with Rayleigh where he reveals his relation to Gol D. After giving back Camie's backpack, they depart promising to aid them 'till they leave the island. In Grove 8, Peterman has been thrashed by the Straw Hats and the Rosy Life Riders for his earlier abduction of Camie. With the Marines starting to close in from behind, Kid and Law, despite their mutual dislike of each other, tell Kuma they are leaving and prepare to face him. The Shichibukai immediately identifies and attacks Law, but Law manages to dodge the attack. However, they come across the Kid Pirates, most of whom are already wounded due to Kuma. The Heart Pirates are still fighting off the remaining Marines at the auction house, tearing through them to escape. Meanwhile, Admiral Kizaru arrives at the Archipelago. Thus, they leave soon after with a bit of Rayleigh's Vivre Card for each of them, and he tells them to come back in three days when their ship will be ready. Roger and also reveals the truth about his crew's dismissal. Upon arriving back at Shakky's Bar, Silvers Rayleigh reveals to the Straw Hats that he was the first mate of the legendary Gol D.
