034 Warden and Commissioner
As the current stopped, the warships gradually slowed down and slowly docked at the port of the city.
In the sea near the harbor, there was far more than one warship, but a continuous group, more than two dozen huge steel warships, in a circular circle around the island of the advancing city.
"Let's go." Russ called out to Zoren and disembarked with a skilful stride.
Zoren followed behind him and stepped into the realm of the advancing city, where he could see a wide concrete-floor plaza in the fog ahead, and then the same huge steel gate lay across it, like a wall built on both sides.
"It's been more than ten years, and it's still the same here, and it hasn't changed at all."
Russ frowned in disgust, and Zoren was equally uncomfortable with it.
Eerie, weird, and depressing, it is like suddenly changing from a place full of warmth and sunshine for a long time to a cold, lonely and lifeless place, giving people a strong sense of contrast.
"The World Government's Navy Headquarters, Justice Island, and the three important institutions of the Advance City, the Advance City is the place where the will of newcomers is most tested, and the inmates who have lived here for a long time have been dealing with prisoners for many years, so that most of them are not psychologically normal." Russ said lightly, "This is a place where evil is imprisoned after all, and an indispensable deterrent to the world." β
The two had just disembarked from the ship, and from the fog advancing through the city gates, with the sound of fast and frequent footsteps, the figures of many prison guards were quickly revealed, armed with guns, lined up in two directions.
The leader of the group was a man dressed in the prison guard's coat, his hat brimmed so low that it almost covered his eyes, most of his face buried in the shadows, and a cigar in his mouth.
He put his hand on the brim of his hat, looked at Russ in amazement, and said, "Hey, isn't this Ogu? What are you doing here? I heard that you have long since left the front line and are now the number one instructor to take care of the newcomers. β
There was obvious sarcasm in his tone.
"Hiryu of the rain, aren't you the chief guard, why did you come out to greet me?" Russ grinned, waved at him and said, "I'm not here for you, let Magellan come out." β
"As soon as I came, I wanted to see the director of the city directly, which is not good, have you reported to the higher-ups?"
"It doesn't seem to be your business as the chief guard."
The two looked at each other directly, and each other had a-for-tat meaning.
"Stampede, stomp, stomp."
Behind Yuno Kiru, there was the dull sound of military boots falling on the floor, and from far to near, a huge figure appeared from between the prison guards lined up on two roads.
The man's body was as huge as the pirate leader that Zoren had killed before, four or five meters tall with a broad build, wearing the black uniform of the prison warden's director, with a pair of horns on his head, and an ornament of demon wings behind him.
Coupled with the man's slightly hideous face, even if he is a human with devil blood, Zoren will choose to believe it.
"What's going on with this creepy aura?"
Looking at the director who was approaching, Zorren's heart suddenly jumped vigilantly, and he almost subconsciously took a step back.
It's not just the sense of oppression of a pure strong person like Russ, but there is something hidden in it that makes people more aware of the danger.
"That's right, it's poison, it's very poisonous, and there's no going wrong with it."
Zoren frowned deeply, unprecedentedly wary of the man who suddenly appeared, compared to the rain no Hiryu who showed malice, what made him more frightened was the one in front of him, who did not carry malicious intent but carried with him a deadly poison.
The configuration and use of poison is one that he is very good at after learning from the devil's training camp, so it is not surprising that he is sensitive to poison anomalies.
"Magellan." Russ grinned, not the slightest nervousness, but rather the remembrance of seeing an old friend.
Magellan stared at him in silence, then nodded and said indifferently, "Long time no see, Ogu?" Lars. β
His voice was low and cold, devoid of emotion.
Russ didn't care about this, pulled Zorn up who took a step back, and said with a smile, "Let me introduce you, this is my new assistant - Monchi?" Zorren. β
"Monchi?" Hiroshi Yuno Hiryu glanced at Zoren suspiciously.
Monchi? Karp, who arrested One Piece Roger, ended an era of naval heroes, not only a legendary powerhouse that shocked the world, but also a symbol of peace that was once recognized by people.
"That's what you're talking to me about in the phone bug, I know." Magellan nodded, his gaze swept over Zorren, turned to a jailer next to him, and said, "Handcuff him." β
"Huh?" Before Zoren could react, the jailer had already taken out a set of handcuffs and walked up to him to handcuff him.
Wait, that doesn't seem right!
The inquiring gaze was on the cheap master Russ next to him, who was nodding at him.
"Torture it." Zoren reluctantly stretched out his hand and asked the jailer to directly handcuff his wrist.
He secretly tried it slightly, and the cold handcuffs brought extraordinary hardness, proving that this was not the texture of steel or precious metal, but the high-hardness of Hailou stone with a restraining force.
Hailou Stone, the crystallized product of the sea, in addition to its own high hardness, also carries a weak inhibition power against those with Devil Fruit abilities. Of course, for Zoren, who is not capable, this is a pair of handcuffs made of high-hardness material.
After seeing that Zoren was handcuffed by Hailou Shi, Magellan said in a deep voice, "It's my own person, release my guard." β
As soon as the words ended, the inmates put down their guns in unison.
"Director, this doesn't seem to be in orderβ" Hiryu Yuno couldn't help but frown.
Magellan glared at him and said domineeringly, "Shut up!" I'm the director, and I'll set the rules of the city!"
"Now, close the team and return to Advance City."
After saying that, he walked ahead first, leading the way to the gate of the city.
"Humph!"
Rain no Hiryu's resentment towards the director seemed to be on Russ, and he glanced gloomily at Zoren before following the troops back to the city.
Seeing that the people who were advancing into the city were walking in front, Zoren stretched out his hands that were handcuffed and glanced at Russ indifferently: "Teacher Russ, what the hell is going on, I have a feeling that I have been sold inexplicably." β
"Rest assured, this is just one of the procedures in Advance City, and the handcuffs must be worn until you are not a threat." Russ smiled, pulling Zoren along the line.
"By the way, that Administrator Magellan is dangerous." Zoren reminded in a low voice.
"Did you perceive it, he is the superhuman person who has the ability to poison the fruit, and he is the most powerful and powerful person in the city. But I saved him when I was young, and I have a certain friendship. Russ said softly, "You are in the Advance City, and it is more important to pay attention to the Advance City's warden Hiroshi no Hiroyu, who was brutal when he was young, and even if he became the chief guard, he often mistook and killed prisoners. β
"That guy's eyes are indeed very gloomy, and they are very abnormal."
Zoren squinted, and the advance city in front of him didn't seem to be as friendly as he imagined.
