After finding the greatest treasure
The crew is just parting on the ship drinking a lot
Akuma is drinking with Rayleigh, Ember is passed out drunk on his lap
That's when oden appears
Rayleigh: Hey oden, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the last island
Oden looks ecstatic: It was a fitting end to our adventure for sure! Why just the thought of what we saw sends shivers down my spine even now!
Akuma: Ain't that the truth, Haha
Roger: and I feel the same way
Akuma: Oh sup Roger
Oden: Hello
Roger: Rayleigh, something on your mind?
Rayleigh: I suppose, feeling sentimental, do you remember what you said to me when we first met?
Roger: of course, I could never forget, let's turn this world upside down, more or less
Rayleigh: you also called out meeting destined
Akuma: Hey remember when we first met Roger
Roger: now how could I ever forget that, you where just a youngster
Akuma grins: I was an adult you know it, according to you, you had heard about me wreaking havoc on a town
Roger: and I wanted nothing more than to fight the man, they called a demon
Akuma: and we did, that fight lasted for a week straight, but I was the one that went down first
Roger laughs: But you gave me a run for my money that's for sure!
*Flashback, this was after roger had already been a pirate for a while but before he found lodestar island*
Akuma is on the ground breathing heavily
Akuma: Holy crap! You sure are strong old man! Hahaha
Roger gained a tch mark
Roger: what was that?! I'm not old yet!
Akuma sat up: But seriously, you are incredibly strong
Roger: well that's what it's going to take to conquer these seas
Akuma: so that's you're dream, huh?
Roger: not quite, I don't want to conquer or rule anything, All I want is to be the one with the most freedom
Akuma is stunned for a few seconds before he chuckles
Akuma: alright Roger, I like you
Roger: may I ask what you're dream is?
Akuma just leaned back and looked to the sky
Akuma: I don't know, I think I just want to live my life, I'm gonna travel the world, getting as strong as I can, then maybe when I'm satisfied find a girl, settle down and have a family, I may be known as a demon but I'm just a man, a man who travels the seas by himself
Roger: ever thought of joining a crew, a spot on mine is always open
Akuma laughs: Nah, joining a crew has always seemed like a pain, but tell you what
Roger: What?
Akuma: anytime, you've got some grand adventure you wanna go on, don't hesitate to send me a message, during that time I'll be running wild on the sea, taking down anything in my way
