Chapter Eighty-Seven: Good Weather
The time announced by Roger Line is getting closer and closer, as early as a week ago, the high-ranking naval officials such as Kong, Karp, and Sengoku have already arrived in Rogue Town.
Along with this, there are naturally One Piece Roger, who is strictly guarded, and Tang En, the general of Wenhu who has a cold expression and seems relatively silent.
The arrival of a group of people made the atmosphere of the entire Rogue Town suffocate and tense in an instant. The original inhabitants seemed to be able to smell the heavy smell even when they breathed.
Elite naval soldiers, from morning to night, constantly rotated, densely spread throughout every street of the town.
Time is slowly passing by, but the serious atmosphere of Rogue Town is becoming more and more solemn.
The warships in the harbor were almost full, and even the waters near the coast were heavily guarded to ensure that there would be no accidents in this execution.
Donn was sitting cross-legged in a log cabin to the west of Rogue Town. Dorrens, Yuzu, Waldorf, Pedro and others followed him.
The heart net emanated, and he was able to know almost everything about the entire island.
In the past few days, some people who have secretly landed on the island have already been identified by him and tracked down.
"Rogue Town, it's getting more and more lively!"
Muttering, Don closed his eyes.
The order given by the top brass of the Navy is to ensure that there are no surprises in Roger's execution! This order took precedence over all else, even above sweeping up the pirates who had landed on the island at this time. Moreover, he is well aware of the significance of the high-level executives' move.
On the surrounding sea, the port, seems to be heavily defended, but in fact, it is more just to maintain law and order, and even, some pirates will not be strictly investigated, so they will be let in.
In a fundamental sense, this is a shock! The execution of Roger is a deterrent and alarm to pirates all over the world!
Punish someone as a warning to others!
In such a situation, the navy actually deliberately let some pirates enter.
"Moria, Dorag, Klokdal."
A smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Don's eyes deepened.
"Who else will there be?"
Most of the people who have arrived in Rogue Town now are young pirates, and Don is actually not interested in them. These people may have a chance to fight him in the future, but at this moment, Tang En has already thrown them 108,000 miles.
Naturally, the top brass of the Navy was aware of this situation, but they only ordered more surveillance and did not act rashly.
"Don't cause trouble at a critical juncture, everything is the highest priority to ensure Roger's execution!"
Sora gave the order solemnly.
The whole army was filled with a tense atmosphere, and no one dared to disobey orders at this time.
Time continued to pass, and there were only three days left until the day of Roger's execution. On this very day, Donn sat down in front of Roger again.
To his surprise, someone arrived before him.
"Donne, ha, are you here too?"
At this time, Roger's voice was a little hoarse, his face was full of exhaustion, and his eyes were full of red threads. Obviously, the days of quietly waiting for death have made this king suffer.
His spirit is being tempered almost all the time, the instinctive desire to survive, the desire that can be suppressed, the courage to fight for his dreams, all kinds of thoughts, I am afraid that he will be tormented to go crazy. No one can truly face life and death and be calm.
This is the real world, more about patience, repression, overcoming everything for a certain belief in the heart, a certain belief.
Karp turned his head and nodded to Donn.
"It's almost time, I'll give you one last ride."
Don sat down slowly and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, before leaving, with your two old friends to send you off, my Roger has no regrets."
Roger laughed.
Karp was silent, and the old man, in the face of this situation, seemed to be unable to raise any jokes.
Don smiled, and after making peace, he also fell into peace.
There was no sound in the cell, and all three of them waited in silence. Because of the company of the two, Roger seemed to have abandoned all distractions, and his performance gradually relaxed, and the tiredness on his face quickly dissipated, but a trace of ruddy appeared.
On the second and third days, Roger was already in good spirits, and his eyes were full of energy.
"Thank you for your last company, it's time for me to go!"
Looking at the group of navy with solemn faces and special uniforms behind Don and Karp, Luo Ming laughed.
He was covered in shackles, and there was a heavy lead ball between his feet.
Standing up slowly, Karp fixed his eyes on Roger and moved his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
Don turned and nodded to the soldier behind him.
Soon, the soldiers stepped forward and opened the door with swift movements, and Roger walked out.
"Good way, Roger!"
Tang En's eyes were solemn, and he said in a deep voice.
"Thank you!"
After a few simple words, Roger followed the soldiers out with a smile on his face.
Don followed closely behind, and he saw Roger's back at this moment, revealing endless ease and anticipation. The previous exhaustion and torment seemed to disappear in an instant as Roger walked towards the sunlight outside.
Walking out of here, the dazzling sunlight immediately sprinkled down, making Don En can't help but squint his eyes.
He looked up at the sky.
The turquoise sky, cloudless, seagulls chirping and flying by, the gentle sea breeze gently blowing, and the air is full of fresh smells.
"It's a nice day!"
Muttering, Don looked ahead.
In the central square of Rogue Town, there was a dense crowd of figures, swept away at a glance, but there was no end in sight. The streets in all directions are completely congested at the moment, and the water is impassable. The crowd was so loud and chaotic that he couldn't even make out who was talking about what.
People, too many. From here, people look like ants, black and pressed.
Taking a deep breath, he saw that Roger was being escorted by the soldiers to another passage towards the place where the execution table was located, so he stepped forward and headed for the other way.
In a few moments, as Don circled to the front of the naval queue, he saw Roger, under the watchful eye of the executing soldiers, walking step by step towards the high execution platform.
At this time, Roger had a smile on his face, without a trace of fear of death.
When facing the world head-on, this king will not show any fear, retreat, he wants to show his bravest and most fearless side to the world.
Suddenly, Don understood.
Even if they are kings, they will be afraid, they will be afraid, and they will be nervous. It's just that when it comes to facing the world, they will suppress all these negative emotions and expose the most perfect side.
Behind the scenes, even if he is a king, he has experienced hardships and tribulations. The pain they experience is even heavier.
"Today, you can finally relax."
"You can smile genuinely, huh?"
"Roger!"
Looking at the execution table, Don muttered.
He saw that Roger was already standing at the top, and his tall figure was showing unimaginable majesty at this moment.
