After leaving Nishizawa alone to go to the Federal Bank to deal with Robin's financial problems, Lee drove through the central borough and parked the car on a special aisle of the Department of Justice.

With the trial of Governor of Police Brandon's dereliction of duty case at the Department of Justice going to be held today, there is a huge crowd in front of the judiciary right now. As far as the eye can see, there are marches with banners everywhere, and if it weren't for the military and police forces with live nuclear guns on the perimeter, the angry crowd would have stormed the courtroom and tore Brandon to pieces.

As one of the parties involved in this pirate riot, Robin knows the ins and outs of the incident very well. Truth be told, Brandon may not be a qualified police governor, but he is definitely not the culprit who caused this incident. It's just that the angry populace needs an object to vent their anger on, which has put Brandon on this crater.

"Hey! ~Isn't this Mr. Robin! ～”

Just as Robin was staring blankly at the parade in front of him with emotion, a vaguely familiar voice suddenly sounded behind Robin.

Robin escapes to the prestige and discovers that the president of Stanley Mining, with whom he has crossed paths several times, is York? Stanny was walking towards him.

"Have you also been invited to this public trial? Mr. Stanley. "With York? Stanny shook hands, and Robin looked curiously at the other people who were walking with him.

"Yes, several members of our mining alliance have received invitations from Court No. 1 this time, and many members of the Proxima Chamber of Commerce led by Mr. Anse El and several mercenary representatives involved in the encirclement and suppression of bloody mercenaries will also participate in this public trial as parties." York? With a smile on his face, Stanny suddenly leaned into Robin's ear, lowered his voice and said, "The spokespersons of the major giants in Othello are also here. ”

"......" York? Stanny's words made Robin frown.

Originally, he thought that this public trial was just a procedure. After all, with the current situation, Brandon has almost no chance of pardon, so he is destined to be the one who carries the black cauldron. But with York? Judging from what Stanny revealed, it is clear that this public trial has other meanings, giving people the impression that it is like a large rally of some force to declare victory.

Turning his head to look away, Robin suddenly saw a banner in the crowd not far away, which surprised him very much.

'Jean Ansel?' Auswid becomes Governor of Police! ～’

'Anse El? Osvid is the savior of Proxima Centauri! ～’

'The people need a police governor they can rely on!' ～’

…… Gradually, more and more similar banners appeared in Robin's field of vision, and looking at these banners, Robin finally began to understand why Anse Air had to spend so much money to exterminate the Bloody Harry.

"Mr. Anse El is going to be the Governor of Police?" Forcibly pressing the shock in his heart, Robin asked tentatively.

"This ......" York? With a smile on his face, Stanley replied softly: "Brandon's removal from office is inevitable, so after this public trial, the council will decide on the new police governor." And Mr. Anse El has also been nominated, and now that he is in high demand among the people, there should be no suspense about winning the post of Governor of Police. ”

“……”

York? Stanny's answer finally brought together many thoughts that Robin had been unable to guess all along.

Governor of Police, this is the position that Ansel wants to get after spending so much. Although the position of Governor of Police is not high in the administrative establishment of Othello, in fact, this position has a very large authority. Just take Brandon as Kimberly? The security exception signed by Mellon alone could give the Mellon family's illegal arms trade a veneer of legitimacy. In addition, the Governor of Police also has the power to change the law of the peace, and the enactment of each bill is actually related to the livelihood of the people in Proxima Centauri.

In other words, the Ausvids, who simply controlled the army, could not become rulers. However, the Osvid family, who control the military and police system, can become the readers of Proxima Centauri.

In the time of Osveld II, the Osvid family did not directly control the position of Governor of Police, but they did control a large number of mid-level cadres such as inspectors and sergeants. Because of this, Osvid II was able to rule Proxima Centauri like a scholar.

After the failure of the first expedition to the solar system led by Osvid II, Federal President Dawson took the opportunity to create a lot of public opinion unfavorable to the Osvid family, which forced the Osvid family to give up part of the family's rights in Proxima Centauri. And this is also the additional condition that Ansel agreed to when he proposed the Second Expedition Bill to the National Assembly.

Taking advantage of this additional condition, the major giants in the capital area led by the Rex family have successively probed their tentacles into the Proxima Centauri star field, in an attempt to carve up the power of the Osvid family and open up new territories for their own family. However, everyone, including the old Dawson, underestimated Anse Elle, the young head of the family.

Giving up some of the forces and attracting the major giants into Proxima Centauri seemed like a stupid decision at the time, but no one would have thought that all of this was planned by Ansel. In order to take over the family power as quickly as possible, he sent all the threatening family members to the battlefield, while the remaining members of the same generation were completely panicked in the face of the large-scale invasion of the major giants, and did not dare to go too far in seizing power. Therefore, taking advantage of this external opportunity, Anse Air completed the transfer of power within the family almost at the fastest speed in history, and became the only voice in the family.

But taking full charge of the Osveld family is also only the initial purpose of Ansel, in his heart, he has no intention of handing over any rights at all, so he almost used the way of coercion to make the family's former thug Bloody Harry a homeless wanderer, and guide him into the Ultra Nebula, where the freedmen gather, and even instructed the Mellon family to trade arms with him at a low price in the early stage to help him expand his force from the side.

In other words, Anse El was supporting him without even the Bloody Harry knowing, helping him become the uncrowned king of the 'City of Chaos' and making it seem like his power was enough to shake the entire northern starfield.

So, with only some policy repression and instigation within the Bloody Mercenaries, Bloody Harry was forced to become a pirate, and triggered this large-scale pirate riot that shocked the entire Federation.

Now, Anse Air is ready to begin reclaiming the rights he once ceded. And because of the adequate preparation in advance, Ansel took advantage of this evil surname incident to give himself an almost overwhelming support rate among the people. The Federation is a boiled country, and it was established in the name of the United States, so even President Dawson of the Federation does not have the right to directly appoint a new police governor to Proxima Centauri.

The decision to hold the position of Governor of Police can only be decided by the Autonomous Council of Othello. And in the current tsunami-like clamour, no lawmaker is willing to risk being torn apart by the people to vote against it. As long as he can successfully become the governor of police, Ansel, who already has the status of a legislator and a member of the parliament, will completely rule the four key departments of the military, politics, law, and police, and while recovering the rights he has ceded, his direct influence on Proxima Centauri is even better than that of Osvid II, and he will truly become the uncrowned king of Proxima Centauri.

Connecting all of this in his head and judging the final direct result, Robin instantly felt a visceral shudder.

Such a guy is terrifying, and his seemingly reckless actions are all carefully planned and planned. His grasp and control of the situation is beyond imagination, and it seems that in his eyes, everyone and every event can become a pawn on his chessboard, and can only be at his mercy like a puppet.

"Mr. Robin?" Seeing Robin fall into a state of stupor for a long time, York? Stanny tried to call.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Hurriedly coming back to his senses, Robin sighed with a wry smile: "It seems that the next Proxima Centauri will be the era of the Osvid family." ”

"That's right! ~"York? Stanny laughed and put his arm around Robin's shoulder: "A new era is about to be born, and we've become the ones who are ahead of the curve, doesn't that make you feel uplifted?" ”

"It seems that you are still far-sighted, and you are willing to spend a lot of money to involve the Mining Alliance in the decoy scheme of Steel Rhine, which seems to be a wise decision now. I'm a stupid clown compared to you. Robin smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Huh? Why? "York? Stanny looked at Robin incomprehensibly, in his opinion, since Robin received an invitation to this public trial, he must belong to the camp of the Osvid family. But listening to Robin's tone at the moment, it doesn't seem to be like this.

Robin sighed and didn't say anything more.

And behind him, York? Stanny's face was cloudy and he bowed his head in contemplation for a moment, and suddenly his face changed as if he understood something, and he hurried away from Robin like fleeing from the plague. Immediately, everyone around them began to look at Robin with a strange gaze, and deliberately kept their distance from him.

"Robin, do you need me to go in with you?" Zhuo Luo looked indifferently at the Federation people around him, walked up to Robin's side and asked in a low voice.

"No, it won't work if you go in with me. And ......" Robin looked at those who walked into the Ministry of Justice one after another, and suddenly sneered: "Compared to these people, my use value is higher." Even if Ansel wanted to deal with me, it would never be now. ”

After saying that, Robin confidently patted Zolo's shoulder, and strode into the door of the Othello Star Justice Department under Zoro's worried gaze.
