Two months later, Wano Country Juvenile Correctional Center.

Remembering the subjective negligence of the criminal suspect, the four retainers of Kinemon, Kanjuro, Raizo and Kokiku, who were enslaved by the main culprit Mitsuki Momonosuke with feudal personal relations, were all given light sentences, and they only needed three years of labor reform to regain their freedom.

However, the main culprit, Momonosuke Mitsuki, could not escape punishment.

His sentence was ten times longer than that of the four retainers.

Because Momonosuke was still young, he was not thrown directly into a labor camp, but was temporarily sent to a juvenile correctional facility.

The alliance asked Momonosuke to receive the study and education of Demacia theory in the juvenile detention center first, and strive to wash the residual poison of feudal ideology in his brain as soon as possible, and strive to transform into a newcomer who is beneficial to society as soon as possible.

Juvenile offenders who have undergone ideological rehabilitation and successfully graduated from juvenile detention centers will not be released directly, but will be assigned to labor camps in various localities that need manpower to continue to complete their unfinished sentences.

Compared with the labor camps, life in the juvenile detention center is much easier.

However, like other students in the juvenile detention center, Momonosuke also wants to pass the education assessment as soon as possible and strive to enter the labor camp as soon as possible.

The reason is simple:

The Union's commutation policy is still relatively relaxed, but only prisoners in the labor camps who show their attitude and create value in their jobs can enjoy it.

Anyway, if it drags on to a certain age, sooner or later it will be sent out of the juvenile detention center, so it is better to go into the labor camp as soon as possible and strive for some opportunities to reduce the sentence.

Otherwise...

Thirty years, a full thirty years.

Momonosuke felt a palpitation in his heart when he thought of this shocking number.

If his sentence had not been commuted, he would have been a thirty-eight-year-old middle-aged uncle by the time he was released from prison thirty years later.

Now Momonosuke doesn't even have the strength to think about the beautiful young lady, and all he thinks about is the word "commutation", and every day he fantasizes that he can meet a group of terrorists sent to the door when he is in labor reform.

Therefore, in order to win the opportunity to reduce his sentence as soon as possible, Momonosuke was very serious about his study in the juvenile detention center.

He not only cured his young master's problems, but also worked hard to learn Demacia's theory.

At the age of eight, he knew that he used his age advantage to win sympathy and deceive beauty, and Momonosuke's brain was naturally not bad, and his mind was far more mature than his peers.

After some hard study, he was even able to memorize most of the teaching books such as "Demacia's Theory of Justice" written by Galen and "Modern History of League of Legends" and "Ancient History of Demacia" compiled by historian Nicole Robin.

Finally, more than a month after entering the juvenile detention center, Momonosuke applied for the graduation assessment in advance.

In addition to the ideological examination, there is also a written examination in the graduation examination.

The content of the exam covers the political history of Debang, and the questions on the paper are very tricky, such as:

"In history, who threw the first punch against the world's aristocracy?"

"A. Fischer Tiger B. Golden Lion C. Tichy D. Galen."

If you don't know how to analyze the problem carefully, you will probably write Fischer Tiger who was the first to fight against the Draconians, or Galen, the most famous leader, without thinking.

But today's Momonosuke is familiar with the history of Tokubang, so naturally he will not be confused by such a trap.

The question is not who rebelled against the world aristocracy first, but focuses on the "first punch" thrown at the world nobility.

Therefore, the big hero who threw the first punch to the world's nobles is, of course, the second-in-command of the Whitebeard Pirates Special Zone, the standing committee member of the first National Committee of the Hero Association, and the dragon slayer warrior known as the "Peerless Blackbeard of Benevolence and Righteousness". D. Teach.

His great achievements in killing the Tianlong people with one punch are still remembered by the world.

It is said that it was only after witnessing the courageous revolutionary will of Comrade Tić that the leader Galen decided to start a frontal struggle with the world government in advance, hastening the demise of the old court controlled by the world aristocracy.

Momonosuke confidently filled in the correct answers, carefully checked the test paper, and finally handed in the assessment paper.

Next, it's a matter of waiting for the results of the review.

A few days later...

"Congratulations, Momonosuke!"

The director of the juvenile detention center kindly touched Momonosuke's half-bald head and handed him the certificate of passing the examination:

"You have successfully passed the assessment and can become a formal labor prisoner!"

"Thank you!"

Momonosuke bowed deeply in thanks, and there was a faint excitement in his heart.

Although the labor prisoner is not an honorable profession, he has at least succeeded in getting the opportunity to get a commutation of his sentence and take a small step into the free world.

Of course, there is still a long way to go.

After passing the assessment of the juvenile detention center, the next thing to worry about is the problem of work assignment.

Juvenile offenders who have undergone ideological rehabilitation will be assigned to different labor camps by their superiors according to the needs of the personnel in each place and the quality of the prisoners themselves, and they will be engaged in different jobs.

In addition to construction sites, there are various farms, fisheries, pastures, textile factories and other labor reform production departments.

Although some brick scholars are known to have only been liberated from the old feudal society for less than two years, they have just eaten a few full meals in the new era and have nothing to do, calling everywhere for "safeguarding human rights", and noisily saying that this labor reform system is a "slave system" in the new era.

However, these noises did not change Galen's philosophy at all:

If you want human rights, then don't commit crimes.

Why should the taxes paid by legal citizens be used to support the law-abiding scum?

If the quality of life in prisons is too "human rights", it is estimated that it will not be long before the cost of crime is low and the offender is not afraid of punishment.

Perhaps, there will be some criminal golden sentences such as "I feel much better in the detention center than at home" and "everyone in it is talented, and I like it very much".

Guided by Galen's philosophy that "criminals have no human rights," the labor camp was definitely not an easy place to stay.

It's just that there are certain differences in labor intensity according to the different positions of each labor camp.

Therefore, Momonosuke is now looking forward to winning a commutation in the labor reform, but also worried that he will be assigned to a position with great labor intensity, and his eight-year-old body will not be able to hold up.

"Director?"

Momonosuke plucked up his courage and asked nervously:

"Now that the graduation assessment has passed, what is the job assigned to me by the organization...?"

"Hahaha..."

The Director chuckled softly, showing a gentle attitude that eased the tension in Momonosuke's heart slightly:

"Don't worry!"

"You're only eight years old this year, and it's never been seen before in our Wano Country Juvenile Detention Center."

"The organization considers that you are not old enough to do heavy work, so you are assigned a relatively easy job: forest ranger."

"You don't need to go to the construction site to carry bricks and wharves to carry bags, you just need to carefully inspect the forests in the jurisdiction every day, and be responsible for inspecting and reporting fire hazards, indiscriminate logging, forest insect diseases, etc. in the management area."

"Oh?"

Momonosuke's eyes lit up.

Compared to other re-education positions, this ranger sounds like a relatively easy job.

Although it was definitely not easy to patrol the mountains and jungles every day, at least he didn't have to move a small mountain of bricks in the labor camp every day like the Jiutenmaru he saw that day.

"But..."

The director paused, and said with some hesitation:

"This job assigned to you by the organization is not in Wano Country, but in the East China Sea."

"Tokai?"

Momonosuke was slightly stunned: "How can it be so far?" ”

Momonosuke has never been out of Wano Country in his life, and his impression of Tokai basically comes from the information he has seen in the textbooks of the juvenile detention center in the past two months.

"This... I don't know very well. ”

After knowing Momonosuke's future job position, the supervisor himself was a little confused:

"In the past, there were examples of juvenile delinquents being assigned out of Wano Country, but they were all re-educated through labor on several islands near Wano Country."

"There has never been a juvenile delinquent like you who has been directly assigned to another sea."

The supervisor pondered for a moment, and finally guessed the intention of the superior organization:

"I think it's probably because you're too young and have too few jobs to do."

"Therefore, in order to take care of your special situation, the organization specially found a suitable labor camp position for you in the open sea."

"I am, so it is..."

Momonosuke was slightly moved.

Calamity is the best teacher, and he has a lot of memories now.

Although his lustful nature can't be changed, Momonosuke at least recognizes the status quo clearly, knowing that he is not a noble young master at all, but a juvenile criminal with no human rights.

The organization could have taken care of him alone and arranged a suitable job for him as a juvenile delinquent across the ocean.

"Momonosuke."

The director touched Momonosuke's half-bald head again, and encouraged him earnestly:

"The organization takes care of you so much, you have to work hard to transform yourself in your post and strive to be a new person as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Momonosuke said with tears in his eyes:

"I will do a good job and never disappoint the organization's expectations!"

................................................................

East China Sea, Sumwell Island.

The island was originally only a small town, but thanks to the convenience of trade routes, it was a bit of a prosperous scene, and it was really not a famous place.

However, this ordinary island in the East China Sea has become famous in the past two years, becoming known as the "place where legends began", and there are many popular legends and stories that have been passed down abroad.

Because, this island is the beginning of the Galen legend.

He walked out of the mountains of the island, killed pirates, pacified the East China Sea, conquered the shipping lanes, overthrew the government, and spread Demacia's theory of justice to the whole world.

The world has changed as a result, and this little-known island in the East China Sea has become a tourist destination for countless tourists.

Of course, this has little to do with Momonosuke.

He didn't come to travel, but to work.

The position assigned to him by the organization is that of a forest ranger in the dense jungle of the mountains of Samwell Island in the East China Sea.

Accompanied by the escorts, Momonosuke traveled from Wano Country to the Goa Kingdom International Aviation Center in the East China Sea by civilian airship, and then transferred to the sea train through the Goa Kingdom's transportation hub to Sumwell Island.

Thanks to the maturing transportation network of modern times, this long journey, which used to take more than half a year, can now be completed in just a few days.

Eventually, Momonosuke arrives on Sumwell Island.

If he didn't count the chance of a reduced sentence, he would probably have to live and work on this island for 30 years.

"Re-education through labor prisoners from Wano Country?"

"Still eight years old?"

The local official in charge of taking over Momonosuke couldn't help but wonder about this:

"And, you're here to be a ranger?"

"There was no labor camp on our island, and there was no position for forest rangers, so how could the organization arrange for such an eight-year-old labor prisoner to come and be a forest ranger?"

The local official was not the head of the camp at all, because, as he said, there were no camps on Sumwell Island.

He was a somewhat decent and rigid young man who held the position of police station chief on the island, and it was not his usual job to take over prisoners.

"Well..."

After making phone calls with his superiors and repeatedly checking the official letters brought by the escorts, the young official finally accepted this strange task:

"I see."

"The surveillance and review of Momonosuke will be handled by our police station on Samwell Island in the future!"

The young officer eventually takes over Momonosuke from the escorts and agrees to arrange for him to work as a ranger.

He seems to be a rigid person, with great vigilance and natural resistance to criminals, and has no sympathy for Momonosuke's appearance as an eight-year-old child.

"Let's go!"

After completing the handover procedures, the young official left the police station with Momonosuke in a resolute manner:

"Although I don't know why the organization arranged for you to come here for labor reform, but since you are here, you have to work hard for labor reform."

"It just so happens that the economy has developed well in the past two years, and the people who live in the mountains have settled in the city."

"There are a lot of abandoned houses in there, which can be used as a residence for you, the ranger."

"Oh..."

Momonosuke nodded, and suddenly noticed something was wrong:

"No one lives in the mountains?"

"Then if I go to be a forest ranger, won't I have to live alone?"

There is no formal labor camp on the island, and the official in charge of monitoring him is still a part-time cadre of the police station, and he lives alone in a no-man's land, that...

"Don't think about running!"

The young official said one sentence to break through Momonosuke's deep thoughts:

"I'll send someone over to bring you supplies regularly, and you, the ranger, must also submit a forest patrol report to me every week."

"If you're not there, we'll find out quickly."

"By the laws of the Union..."

His square face rose coldly:

"All fugitives from re-education through labor will be shot."

"This is not the time when those pirates can survive, if you want to challenge the laws of the Alliance, you can give it a try."

"Yes, yes... I'm not going to run. ”

Momonosuke lowered his head tremblingly, and he didn't dare to think of any crooked thoughts in his heart anymore.

And the young official saw that Momonosuke became obedient, and his attitude softened.

Not only did he buy a lot of supplies and equipment for Momonosuke on the way to live in the mountains, but he also said that he effectively explained the scenery of Sumwell Island to Momonosuke, an outsider from far away Wano Country, along the way:

"See this street?"

"That's the battlefield where Lord Galen debuted in his first battle four years ago, and it's where he killed the captain of the Steel Knife Pirates."

A look of remembrance appeared on the young officer's face, and his eyes were filled with a proud pride:

"Boy, you probably don't know."

"I've been the one who fought alongside Lord Galen."

"At that time, I was a small soldier in the town's security team, and I couldn't stand the oppression of the pirate steel knife and fought back, so I was seriously injured and dying."

"If it weren't for Lord Galen and Lady Nami coming to the rescue, I would have been turned into bones in the ground by now, how could I have a good life today?"

"That's what the chief said."

Momonosuke's face was full of eagerness, but there was not much touch in his heart.

He betrayed morality just to get out of the juvenile detention center as soon as possible, and his thinking has not changed much, in the final analysis, he is still a lustful little ghost who is used to seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

And the young official said it up, but he didn't notice Momonosuke's not very sincere face:

"Speaking of Lord Galen and Lady Nami, the two of them also met on this island."

"The restaurant they met has now become a popular tourist attraction."

"By the way, I heard that Lord Galen first appeared in the public eye, and it was in that restaurant."

"He was in armor and with a great sword in his hand, and he rode out of the mountains..."

"Uh..."

The young official suddenly thought of something, and his face couldn't help but froze.

"What's wrong, sir?"

Momonosuke faintly sensed that something was wrong.

"Nothing..."

The young officer paused and said a little strangely:

"It occurred to me that there were often wild beasts in the mountains."

"So be it... I'll give you another hunting knife. ”

"You remember to bring it when you patrol the mountains and pay attention to your own safety."

"Wild, beast?"

Momonosuke panicked a little:

"Sir, what kind of beast?"

The young officer explained in a reassuring tone:

"It's not a man-eating beast, it's just a big dog."

"Don't worry!"

"You won't have to worry about your life if you run into it, it's..."

Before he finished speaking, Momonosuke was already laughing reassuringly:

"It's just a vicious dog..."

"Sir, rest assured."

"If you are born in a samurai family, you will definitely not be hurt by this evil beast."

The combat effectiveness of children in this world should not be underestimated, and Luffy began to play in the wilderness in the mountains when he was eight years old.

And although Momonosuke's courage is far less than Luffy's, after all, he also has a family tradition of martial arts, and it is definitely more than enough to deal with a puppy.

"Well..."

The young official sighed lightly and said no more: "Just be careful yourself." ”

After all, Momonosuke is a labor prisoner, and if he can send a hunting knife, he is benevolent and righteous, and it is inconvenient to give too much care.

In this way, the young official sent Momonosuke to the mountains.

.........................................

A few days later.

Momonosuke patrols the mountains as usual.

After a few days of getting used to it, he felt that the life of this ranger was quite easy.

The young officials sent plenty of supplies, the controls were loose, and they even prepared books, newspapers, and even video bug televisions for Momonosuke in a very humane way.

Momonosuke eats and drinks in the mountains without worry, without restraints, and has a variety of entertainment methods, living a free and fulfilling life.

Even the legendary vicious dog, Momonosuke, has not encountered it in the past few days.

Compared to life in detention centers and juvenile detention centers, this is a paradise.

"What a leisurely life..."

Momonosuke walked among the mountains and fields, looking very relaxed.

However, as soon as people calm down, they will inevitably think too much:

"It's just..."

"It's too lonely to be here alone."

As Momonosuke was thinking so, a dog barking suddenly sounded outside the grass:

"Woohoo!"
