Chapter 147: Judgment
Next.
A news that shocked the world made the headlines of the newspapers.
"Public Execution - The New World Government is about to hold a trial on the Island of Justice against the world's most heinous criminals, the Five Old Stars and the Celestial Dragons!"
It was only a few days before Ace's public execution.
Today, when relations between civilians and navies on the sea are becoming increasingly tense......
The New World Government, led by the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, Sora, has done an earth-shattering feat and declared their determination and responsibility to the whole world!
Many civilians and pirates don't know who the Five Elders are.
But for the great name of the Tianlong people, it has long been like thunder!
World Government ......
You actually want to judge the Draconian!?
Everyone could hardly believe that the news was true, and the phone bug at the headquarters of the World Economic News newspaper was almost blown up!
And those access calls, without exception, are asking about the authenticity of the news!
If it were usual, the big news bird Morgans wouldn't have paid any attention to these people at all.
But this time, with a special warning from the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces and the marshal of the navy, he could only order the employees of the newspaper who answered the phone to ensure the authenticity of the news one by one, so as to pave the way for the trial of the Draconians on Justice Island ten days later.
Although it is a little unpleasant to be threatened.
But to be honest, Big News Bird Morgans was also a little intimidated by the news.
The navy and the world government, which have always been obedient to the Draco people, actually united to pull the Draco people off the altar, and there are many incredible guys in this generation of the navy!
Time passes day by day.
And this explosive news, not only did not fade away, but continued to ferment and intensify over time!
The four seas, the great voyages, the new world.
Everyone is talking about it all the time.
And those pirates and civilians who didn't know who the five old stars were, finally realized their noble status.
I noticed it more deeply.
The determination of the Navy and the New World Government this time!
They......
I really want to make a difference!
Start from within, and then calm the world and put an end to this era of pirates!
……
On Judgment Day.
Judiciary Island is bustling with activity.
The auditorium was full and full.
They are all civilians who came spontaneously from all over the world and the Great Voyage, and truly represent the lowest group of people in this world.
Outside the Judicial Island, the garrison is unprecedentedly strong!
There are two admirals, ten lieutenant generals, and 10,000 elite soldiers!
On the jury bench, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Kong, the black wrist Zefa, the Buddha of the Warring States, the Iron Fist Karp, and the General Staff Crane were impressively listed.
The video call bug is already in place.
This trial ...... It will be broadcast live all over the world!
Time passed minute by minute, and every moment was so heavy.
Finally.
When the justices entered the courtroom and took their seats.
The trial has officially begun!
"Silence!"
The chief justice tapped the gavel and said solemnly: "Bring the five old stars of the former world government's highest power and the Tianlong people Yimu to court!" ”
Covered with the shackles of the sea building stone, Akainu personally sent the five old stars and Imu to the dock!
The five old stars' faces were as black as the bottom of a pot, and their faces were gloomy and almost dripping.
But Imu was unexpectedly calm, just closed his eyes and didn't say anything.
They never thought that one day, they would sit here and wait for the people's judgment, nor did they ever think that one day, the judge they personally selected would actually come to judge them......
The bespectacled Five Old Stars moved twice, and naturally shouted to the judge on the judgment bench in the tone of a superior person: "Hey, Eggers! The chains are too tight, tie me a little looser. ”
The Chief Justice glanced at him, "This is the right thing now." After that, he struck the gavel again: "Open the court!" Witness No. 1 is invited to testify in court......"
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, Yimu, who had never spoken, suddenly opened his eyes and said to the chief justice: "If you think that the group of Celestial Dragons is the cancer of the world, then it should not be one person or two people who decide whether our group is guilty or not, but most people on the scene think that we should not exist...... Eggers, don't bother, I just need to ask a few questions, and if after these few questions, the people present still think that the Draconians are guilty, then we will be innocent! ”
From the bench, the justices looked over to the jurors and asked for their opinions.
After nodding his head, the Chancellor agreed to Iam's request.
"First Question ......"
Yimu turned his head and looked at everyone in the audience behind him coldly: "Do you think the Draconians are guilty...... So, how many of the people or family members present have been directly persecuted by the Draco people? ”
The question is very cunning.
Even if the Celestial Dragon people do all kinds of evil, they are nothing compared to the base of the world's population.
Sure enough, after a while, only two people in the audience raised their hands.
Imu continued to ask, "Then the second question, I think most people's ill feelings towards the Celestial Dragons come from the heavenly gold, right?" ”
Many nodded.
"But what's the matter with the Tianlong people?"
Imu sneered: "There are countless member countries of the world government on the great voyage, and every country is living in pain?" Is everyone being forcibly expropriated from the heavens? We ask for tribute from the kings of the member countries, and some countries can pay tribute without having to exploit the common people! Expropriation is the king's personal act, why should all the sins be imposed on the Draconians!? ”
"Because the Draconians are just an excuse!"
Imu spoke extremely quickly and continued: "An excuse used by the king to exploit the commoners! Even if there is no heavenly gold, they will use other reasons to exploit civilians, but the next one to be hated, I don't know if it will be the navy or the pirates! If you think about it, everyone hates the Draconians, but who would hate that king!? After all, the Draconians have never done anything to you, and your hatred is nothing more than something that has been conjured up by some despicable people to lead public opinion......"
This statement is similar to that robbers want to buy things, but they don't want to pay for them themselves, so they rob others.
In the end, the money flowed into the hands of the merchants, and everyone hated only the merchants, but forgot about the robber.
The words put all the blame on the king of the confederate country.
knew that he was quibbling, but it was difficult to find a reason to refute it for a while.
Just as the civilians in the auditorium were whispering, not knowing how to respond to the answer, the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces stood up on the jury bench.
"I'll answer you these two questions!"
The commander-in-chief of the three armed forces said with a cold face: "First of all, the member countries of the world government need to pay a franchise fee every year, which is the funds provided by the navy and the world government to protect their countries, and beyond that, the Tianlong people are above the law to ask for tribute, and above human rights to trample on civilians, their own existence is a heinous crime!" ”
"You say the Draconians are not guilty?"
The commander-in-chief of the three armies shouted angrily and slammed the table in front of him: "It's a fart!! Now I will let the world know what a sin the Draconians deserve to die!! ”
