Chapter 163: Depressed Shanks
It was almost noon, and as the time of execution approached, more and more people gathered in the square in the center of Rogge Town, from a few dozen people when Lin Luochen first arrived, to tens of thousands of people now.
Even when the square was really too crowded, the streets and alleys, the tall buildings, as long as the place where you could see the elevated platform used for execution from a distance, was already full of people.
Countless reporters heard the news and mixed in with the crowd, nervously pinching the camera, just to be able to get the first-hand information of the man's death first-hand! That One Piece that gets everyone's attention in the world!
In one corner of the square, there is also a large snail-shaped creature, but most people recognize it as the video phone bug used for live broadcasting, which connects the Chambord Islands of the Great Shipping Route to the big screens around the world.
Everyone can witness Roger's death together through it, which is also the result of the Navy's painstaking arrangement, after all, being able to execute One Piece in front of the world can not only greatly improve the prestige of the Navy, but also greatly suppress the generation of pirates!
And the world government is happy to take this opportunity to strangle potential resistance in the cradle.
It's just that such a man who once owned everything in the world, wealth, fame, power, and everything was at the top level in the world, was still going to be executed by the navy?
People's hearts are becoming heavier and heavier, and many people are beginning to be confused, yes, this is the kind of man who can conquer even the terrifying great voyage, and in the end he will be executed by the navy, so where should their lives go?
Even though Lin Luochen was sitting in the food truck, he still saw something in the many expressions of everyone's sluggishness, surprise, panic, and various looks, which was simply a hodgepodge.
After reading the original book, he naturally knew that Roger was terminally ill and knew that his time was short, so in order to promote the development of the new era and let more aspiring boys flock to the sea to resist the rotten world government, he surrendered to the navy.
Moreover, Lin Luochen faintly felt that this might be related to the blank 100-year history in the One Piece world, a dark history that was covered up by the world government and didn't want to be known!
It must be that the world government has done something that people are angry about, and they are afraid that they will be attacked by others after being known, so they will deliberately conceal it, and even prevent others from verifying it, and since Roger has conquered the great voyage and gone to the end of the voyage, he should know the truth of this history!
Perhaps, this is also the reason why he tried his best, even if he would rather not hide in one place to end the rest of his time, but turn himself in, right?
In this heavy atmosphere, Lin Luochen inevitably felt a little depressed.
It is really sad that a generation of fearless great men has experienced a wonderful life, but in the end they have to die with such a bleak ending.
Sighing slightly, Lin Luochen turned his head and caught a glimpse of the big man sleeping soundly on the sofa behind him, and suddenly became angry, it was the Karp who was eating and drinking before!
This guy, after being full of wine and food, actually got into the car on the grounds of "it's so hot outside, borrow your house to hide from the sun", and then occupied the sofa that Dai Ziyan used to use.
Moreover, the most angry thing is that just when Lin Luochen wanted to denounce him, Karp actually fell asleep in just a few seconds? I can't wake up no matter how much I scream! So even if Lin Luochen wanted to bury a few words, he couldn't say anything at all.
In the end, Dai Ziyan dissuaded him with a smile, and he still had a good impression of this guy, otherwise Lin Luochen really wanted to splash him with cold water directly! This feeling of holding the fire is not pleasant.
If it weren't for the fact that he was the grandfather of the protagonist Luffy, and he was also a strong man who could push Roger into a desperate situation many times, but he didn't kill him all, Lin Luochen might have been unable to hold back the beating in his heart and kicked him out directly.
"Zi Yan! Why are you here? You can even put a house in the square? How did you do it, it's amazing! โ
"Huh?" Dai Ziyan was holding her chin on the counter in a daze, and was directly awakened by this voice, and when she looked around, she saw a red-haired young man with a straw hat, who came to the counter at some point, staring at herself with burning eyes. ๏ผ
โโฆโฆโ
After sorting out the memories in her mind, Dai Ziyan immediately recognized this boy, who was the person she met when she was controlled by her brother Luochen before, who seemed to be called Shanks.
It's just that when I thought that I had spent the night in the same bed with him, even if it wasn't her, my pretty face turned red for a moment, and she just stared at him quietly, not wanting to talk to him.
"Why don't you speak, Ziyan-chan"
Looking at this delicate little face as red as an apple and incredibly beautiful, Shanks's heart was a little fluctuating, but after not getting an answer for a long time, he was suddenly a little surprised, it was just a morning apart, it was impossible to forget himself, right?
"I ...... My boyfriend is here, don't ...... Don't move your hands! ...... you go" Seeing that Shanks wanted to touch his head while talking, Dai Ziyan's little face was stunned, like a frightened little white rabbit, and shrank back.
However, he lost his balance because of this, and his delicate body leaned back, almost falling down, but fortunately he was helped by Lin Luochen, who went to the water heater in the back of the car to bubble noodles and rushed back in time, so he didn't fall.
"Naughty little Niko!"
Putting the instant noodles on the counter, seeing Shanks's stunned expression of heartbreak, as if being struck by lightning, Lin Luochen rolled his eyes speechlessly, and scratched Dai Ziyan's Qiong nose dotingly.
He had heard the conversation between the two before, so he naturally knew why someone had become so bitter, and he also felt a little hurt in his heart about Dai Ziyan's lie that he wanted to drive people away.
"Hey! Hello, my name is Yan Huang ยท D. Luochen, is Ziyan's brother, please advise! Try to put on a kind appearance, Lin Luochen felt that if he didn't explain, someone might cry, so he still explained: "Well, it was just a joke that my little sister made to you just now, don't take it seriously!" โ
โฆโฆ
After Lin Luochen's explanation, Shanks, who understood the "truth" of the matter, finally recovered from that state of extreme loss and decadence, but he felt a little uncomfortable that Dai Ziyan never paid much attention to him, at most a few times.
Compared to the girl's coldness, her brother is more enthusiastic, but this feeling, as if she knew her brother before, not her sister.
Thinking of this, Shanks looked at Dai Ziyan and Lin Luochen respectively, a familiar face, a completely unfamiliar face! Immediately shook his head secretly, and directly denied this conjecture, he would not recognize the wrong person! It's impossible, this kind of thing!
"Brother Luochen, that, why doesn't your sister seem to care about me very much? Am I doing something wrong? It was fine in the morning. I really couldn't think of the reason why I was left out, Shanks asked Lin Luochen in a low voice.
"The girl's thoughts, don't guess, anyway, she didn't do this because she hated you, I can guarantee you!"
Regarding Shanks's confusion, Lin Luochen just patted him on the shoulder with a smile on his face, and smiled secretly in his heart, the more this kind of thing is explained, the more chaotic it will become, it is better to make a mistake.
