Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Tumult of the Death Table

As the most important stop on the Great Voyage, Rogue was once a paradise for pirates, and although it is now under the jurisdiction of the Navy, the history of Rogue Town has survived. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As an island that must be passed through on the way to the Great Seaway, it became a hub for pirates. As a result, simple markets, simple docks, simple inns and so on were built on the island. Gradually, some elderly pirates, or pirates who were injured and unable to continue sailing, or pirates who lost the motivation to continue, settled here and became the first inhabitants of Rogue Town.

It was first established by pirates, and the inhabitants were also the remnants of pirates, which led to the fierce folk of this town, and gradually broke away from the jurisdiction of the pirates and became independent. In honor of the original leader, the town was named after him, Rogue Town. After that, the town of Rogge went through a long period of development, from the initial poverty to the well-off later, and gradually became famous and noticed by the government. I didn't care about it before, because although the location here is good, it is too poor, and the government can't get oil and water, not to mention, and it has to invest a lot of money in construction.

When the town of Rogue gradually prospered, the government managed it in a grand manner, and there was a naval station, which became one of the important strongholds for the great shipping routes.

However, it has to be said that it is ironic that under the management of the government, Rogue Town has not developed at all, and what really makes Rogue Town prosperous today is a pirate - the famous One Piece, Gordo Roger, a pirate who was born in Rogue Town and returned to Rogue Town.

As a result of the fame of One Piece, Rogue Town had countless visitors, and caravans gradually increased, and Rogue Town inevitably developed into a place that was both a military and an economic center. Naturally, the town of Rogue became a branch of the Navy in the East China Sea, and was suppressed by the Navy's headquarters and used as a deterrent by force.

The first expatriate was Monch D. Karp, who was in middle age at the time.

Crokodahl sat in the café, flipping through the introduction materials in the store, and I don't know when it has become a tourist destination after the military, economy, and politics.

"Smoker, we're going to meet again, I wonder if you've grown a little bit this time?" Crockdahl's mind couldn't help but reflect Smoker's hideous face that he was eager to eat himself, and he laughed.

It's sometimes fun to tease this guy with a little white head.

"Sir, your coffee is going to be cold, it will affect the taste, and if this coffee is cold, it may not be good for your health. The lovely waiter walked over and said politely to Crockdahl.

"Ah, I'm distracted, I didn't expect it to be cold......" Crockdahl smiled and said indifferently, "Then let's change the glass." ”

"Sir......" The waiter hesitated, "I'd better heat it for you, after all, this kind of coffee is very expensive, and heating it won't affect the taste much." ”

"Hehe......" Crockdahl looked at the little girl who was less than twenty funny, her wheat-colored skin, Peugeot's appearance, although not very beautiful, but very cute, especially the freckles on her face, which added to the youthful atmosphere. It's the first time I've met someone like this.

"Forget it, let's have another drink, it's too much trouble if it's hot. Crockdahl waved his hand indifferently, and with a flip of his hand, there were two more rolls of banknotes tied with string, "Except for the coffee money, you can look at the rest and count it as a tip." ”

"This ......" The waiter hesitated to take the two rolls of banknotes, and pulled out two of them, both of which were large denominations of two thousand baileys. As if taken aback, she quickly shoved one back, then respectfully handed the two rolls back to Crockdahl's hand, turned and ran away.

Seeing this, Krokdal didn't say anything more, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and waited quietly for time to pass. Again and again, Crockdahl's memories from childhood to adulthood flashed in front of him. He found that he seemed to have become Crockdahl, rather than the time-traveler he was forced to come in. Soul wearing, it's really the most disgusting thing, in this kind of soul trance, can you continue to maintain your own nature?

Crockdahl didn't know all of this very well, but he clearly noticed that he seemed to be becoming more and more bloodthirsty, and the little light in his heart seemed to be dissipating little by little.

"That's not good, if you continue, won't you be devoured by the original owner of this body?" Crockdahl pinched his chin and thought, "Well~ But it's also fun, isn't it......"

"Sir, your coffee, and this is looking for your money. The waiter came over with a plate, put down the coffee and the snacks to match, and then handed over a small stack of bills, "The price of the coffee is 700 baileys, this is the 1,200 baileys that came to you, and the tip is 100 baileys." He seemed a little embarrassed to say that, as if 100 Baileys were a bit much.

"That's right!" the waiter suddenly remembered something, and picked up the cup of cold coffee, "I'll go and heat it up for you, it's not a waste of good!"

"Hehe......" Crockdahl's mood suddenly became very good, although he didn't know how far he still had to go, but the feeling of challenge made him excited. After all, he is still a man, and as long as he is a man, he likes to face challenges.

"Forget it, I'll give you coffee, cute little girl. Crockdahl stood up and walked out of the store, where there seemed to be some commotion.

"By the way, this is for you, it's a thank you gift. Crockdahl walked to the door, smiled back, and threw a large plate of bills into the waiter's arms, then laughed and pushed the door away, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Ahh I pinched the thickness of the banknote, looked at the face value of the banknote, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Oh my! That's two million Baileys!"

Death Table:

This is the most famous attraction in Rogue Town, and arguably the only one. Many people come to Rogue every day to see the place where Roger died.

The execution table is nearly 30 meters high and is made entirely of wooden structures. After more than 20 years, it is still standing there as strong as before, for people to admire.

Standing in the square and looking up, you will be deeply intimidated by the momentum of the death table. The mottled wood seems to tell the vicissitudes of life. On the platform at the top of the execution table, it seems that there is still the blood of One Piece Roger at that time. Coming here, few people dared to speak loudly, as if there was a pressure pressing on their chests.

Krokdal stood in the crowd in the square, looking at the death table standing tall with some nostalgia. In my memory, when I was very young, I looked up at the figure of that man under this platform...... It is so majestic, so strong, and the momentum is so impressive that he will still feel admired when he thinks about it.

Where will such a death table end? When will it collapse? When it collapses, does it mean that the old era will pass and a new era will rise?

For a while, Crockdahl also felt a little embarrassed, it was here that he witnessed the death of a generation of heavenly kings, and it was here that he resolutely embarked on the journey of the sea, right?

Not to mention the rare nostalgia of Crockdahl, but the square was chaotic at this time. Two groups of pirates pushed through the crowd and flocked to the execution table, led by what appeared to be a man dressed as a clown.

"Ahh

The potential of the people who fled for their lives was endless, although they were just ordinary people, but they also exploded at a speed of hundreds of miles in this one, and disappeared from the square in the blink of an eye. However, the square was filled again by pirates gathered from all directions.

Crockdahl stood on the roof of the government building, quietly waiting for the situation to unfold. From here, you can see the square completely, making it a great vantage point.

In the chaos, "Joker" Bucky and a beautiful woman in a cowboy hat escorted Luffy to the execution table, shouting excitedly that they would execute Luffy in this place where One Piece died. At the same time, Bucky already has several extra knives in his hand, playing like a juggler, causing a burst of pirates to scream.

The movement in the square alarmed Sanji, who had just finished shopping for food, Zoro who had finished buying knives, and Usopp, who was in a heavy mood. Rogue was a small town, prosperous but small in size, and the three of them soon arrived in the square to try to rescue their heartbreaking captain.

At the same time, a steady stream of navies surrounded the square after evacuating civilians.

"The air pressure is low again...... Looking at the weather that was still sunny before, but it became gloomy in a blink of an eye, Crockdahl thoughtfully stretched out two fingers, took them in his mouth, and then felt the wind, and silently said, "The wind is up...... Wind direction northeast...... It's going to rain, it's going to rain!"

Looking up at the sky's thickening clouds, Crockdahl frowned, what the hell is the weather.

The wind is getting stronger, and the sails hanging in the streets are hunting, and everyone knows that they are about to face a storm...... The pedestrians on the street are long gone, whether it is because of the navy's martial law and evacuation, or because they have seen the omen of this weather and hid, it is already empty at this time, but it is very suitable for fighting.

"Boom......" The gloomy sky suddenly shone brightly, and then thunder exploded, shaking people's hearts. Under the light of lightning, Bucky's face looked more and more terrifying.

"You're dying, Straw Hat Boy!" Bucky chuckled wildly, asserting amid the wind and thunder.
