Someone asks, "Who's there?! Where's that voice coming from?!" and Shyarly's prophecy is remembered: "Hey Shyarly, maybe you could tell us when Poseidon will be born?" "10 years." The voices say, "Those voices... they must be telling the truth. Someone will be born that is going to surpass even us!" Roger states plainly, "We... were too early." He wonders about the treasure: "One Piece... who do you think will find it?" and then answers with absolute faith, "Why, my son obviously!" Oden asks where he is going to find a son, and Roger laughs that he can always make one. Then he gives Oden his order: "After that, take Oden back to Wano Kuni!" and the crew drinks again as Roger says he will be first to get off and head to a sea with no Marine in sight. Page 6: Before leaving, Roger asks whether Izo is going back to Wano too, but Izo says no. He wants to meet "Whitey-chan" one more time before he bites the dust, and Roger accepts it: "He is part of their family now. Tell him to take care of Whitey-chan for me." Roger receives words from "Dark King" Rayleigh, his first mate, and a large amount of medicine from the ship's doctor, Crocus, though Oden notes that the illness is already beyond curing. Then Roger departs. The farewell is a man's farewell: "There should be no tears." "The men of the Pirate King's crew... do not cry!" The words are proud, but the faces show grief anyway.
