Roger Pirates
AN: I will say this once more. The MC is the same age as Shanks and Buggy. Meaning he is going to be 37 years old when canon begins.
-----------------------
I continued staring at the Oro Jackson.
Since once again I am still in complete disbelief at what is happening right now.
Thee Roger Pirates are about to dock at my home island.
This is so unreal I can hardly believe it.
Yet the proof is right in front of my eyes.
As I continued looking at Oro Jackson another few minutes passed until the ship finally docked.
Then a few moments after it did so people began disenmbarking from it.
The first being the future King of the Pirates himself, Gol D. Roger.
Following him was Silvers Rayleigh, his first mate and brother in all but blood.
After the two of them came the various other crew members currently aboard the ship. With the last two being some more really familiar faces to me.
Buggy The Clown and Red-Haired Shanks, or rather just Shanks at the moment.
The former is a scaredy-cat who somehow ended up as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the future.
While the latter is a future Emperor of the Sea and the man who inspired the second king of the Pirates, Luffy, to set sail.
Though right now both of them are just kids.
Who are the same age as me by the way.
After I learned to read and write I got my hands on some old newspaper and found out the famous "God Valley Incident" took place a year after I was born.
Well said paper I found didn't go into the incident in detail, it just talked about Garp gaining his title as "Hero of the Marines" but thanks to my previous life's memories I knew exactly what the truth was. Which allowed me to calculate my age without issue.
By the way, my birthday is December 25th.
Anyhow.
The moment all the Roger Pirates disembarked Roger himself shouted.
"Hello, anyone here?!" He asked. "I'm hungry and thirsty. Can I get some food and drink?!"
Seeing this I shook my head.
Because what Roger is doing fits his personality to a tee.
A man who enjoys life and marches to the beat of his own drum.
Roger continued shouting but no one answered him back.
That's because everyone on the island but me is hiding in the town hall.
Eventually Roger stopped shouting.
"Looks like we're not going to get a warm welcome here boys." He said to his crew.
"Of course not we're pirates after all Roger." Rayleigh said.
"That we are." Roger happily said. A smile on his face as he did so.
Seeing this I couldn't help but smile as well.
It's infectious.
Feeling the way I am right now I can truly understand how Roger became as great as he is and inspired a new generation of pirates.
He truly is a person that only comes along only once in a lifetime.
"Captain, since no one is coming to greet us I say we go ahead and check out the town ourselves." Gaban spoke up.
"We could do that." Roger said. "Or maybe we can just ask out little observer to show us around." He said.
As soon as Roger did so he looked exactly in my direction.
But I'm not surprised at all.
Since by this point in time Roger and his crew have already reached Lodestar Island in the New World. So they definitely know haki, and as strong as Roger is he is definitely well-versed in all three types.
So he simply used his observation haki to spot me.
Nothing else to it.
Knowing I couldn't hide any longer I stood up and then made my way off the roof.
I then walked right up to the Roger Pirates until I was standing only a few feet away from them.
Doing my best not to fanboy as hard as I could.
"Hello there." I said to the Roger Pirates.
"Hello young man." Roger said. "The. same is Roger, and who might you be?"
"Not telling. You guys are pirates after all." I retorted.
"Oh, and yet despite us being pirates you don't seem afraid of us at all." Rayleigh said.
"No, I am a bit scared." I admitted.
"Yet you're not running away." Roger said. "Why?"
"I just have this feeling that despite being pirates you guys aren't really evil." I told Roger and his crew.
Since I can't very well tell them the truth about how I know about them from my previous life.
They would think I was insane.
Which is why I will take the secret of being reborn into this world with me to my grave.
"Oh interesting." Roger said. "Now I want to know your name even more young man. Come on and tell me. If you do I'll give you some candy."
As soon as Roger said that I took a few steps back.
He just said something very pedo-like after all.
"Roger watch your words." Rayleigh told him. Smacking him upside the head as he did so.
"What the hell Rayleigh?" Roger shouted at him.
"You were acting creepy again." He told him.
"Was not." Roger retorted.
"You were." Rayleigh said.
The moment this happened Roger and Rayleigh got into a back and forth bickering match as the rest of the crew commented from the sidelines.
Letting me know this is a normal thing amongst them.
As the adults continued messing around Buggy and Shanks walked right up to me.
"Hey I'm Shanks." Shanks said. He then pointed to Buggy. "And that's Buggy."
"Idiot!" Buggy shouted at Shanks. "I can introduce myself!" He said.
Buggy then turned towards me.
"The name is Buggy!" He told me.
"Nice to meet you Buggy, and you as well Shanks." I told them. "My name is Siegreich Noctis. But most people just call me Sieg." I explained to them.
"Good to meet you Sieg." Shanks said.
"What red-hair said." Buggy told me.
I nodded at that.
"So, you guys are pirates huh?" I asked them.
But as soon as I did so Roger walked up behind the two of them.
"So your name is Siegreich huh?" He mused.
'I guess he and Rayleigh finished their argument and he overheard my name.' I thought.
Oh well.
I nodded at Rogers question. "Yes sir, Siegreich is my name. But most people call me Sieg." I explained to him.
"Hahaha! Alright then Sieg, mind showing me and crew the place to eat around here?"
"Sure. Follow me. But just so you know no one is there right now." I told Roger.
"That's fine. I'm sure they'll stop hiding eventually. Now then, lead the way." He said.
So that's exactly what I did.
I began walking towards the town bar, all of the Roger Pirates following right behind me as I did so.
Thanking the heavens themselves we were able to meet like this.
