There will always be creatures on earth who dare to face the power of thunder.

——New Tokyo. Member of the Discipline Commission.

Councillor Hope is dead.

Dead... It's not peaceful.

The most torturous in the world... I'm afraid it's when you see a ray of light in the dark abyss of despair, and someone puts a lid on it.

......

Under the hazy sky, the glass canopy of the Asahi Shimbun building in New Tokyo lost its former highlight, and the TV screen of the building's 12-story office was broadcasting a live broadcast of the execution of pirate cadres at the Rising Sun Port in the East China Sea.

I don't know when it started, and all the more than 20 workstations of the company were silent.

Everyone's eyes widened, staring directly at the TV screen on the wall, and the indescribable shock reflected in their eyes.

A moment later,

Suddenly there was a snowflake on the TV.

The signal is in the middle of the range.

However, there is still silence in the company.

Reporter Keita Fumori, who was sitting at the table of the news chief next to him, moved half of his dangling buttocks to make himself more comfortable, after all, what is wrong with making himself more comfortable at this time?

He looked at the silent news editor-in-chief next to him, shook his head and said, "When I was in school before, my teacher said that reality is often more shocking than news. ”

Speaking of this, he shook his head with a sarcastic look on his face, "Wouldn't the reaction of those big guys be too excited?" I'm afraid their parents won't be so sad when they die. ”

"That's not sadness."

The news editor-in-chief shook his head, "That's scared." ”

"Afraid of what?"

Keita Fumori couldn't help but sneer, "It's not them who killed the Celestial Councillor, but what I want to say is that the killing is beautiful!" It's so bad that I can't help but write a manuscript tonight! ”

When he said this, his tone was a little fierce, and his eyes were slightly red as he stared at the picture frame on his table not far away.

There are two people in the framed photo, one is not as bearded as she is now, and the other is a little girl with a camera hanging from the bottom of her neck, hugging her neck and smiling like a flower.

Ten days ago, the Metropolitan Police Department informed him of the death of his missing daughter.

There is no superfluous explanation.

The editor-in-chief glanced at Keita Fumori, sighed slightly, and returned to the topic to explain, "It's not them who killed the councilors, but the problem is... Where can the celestial man be reasonable? ”

Speaking of which, he remembered the figure wearing the dark gold dragonfly mask, and shook his head again, "The other Captain Dragonfly... Or call him a member of the Discipline Commission... He also regretted it. ”

"From today... At least in all official reports, he is no longer the 'hero' who punished evil and promoted good to help the Metropolitan Police Department exterminate the human Kou trafficking organization, but a terrorist high-risk element who assassinated the Celestial Councillor, and we can no longer have any positive reports on him in the future news. ”

"Does it make a difference?"

Keita Fumori asked, "The eyes of the people are not blind. ”

"Hehe, maybe."

The editor-in-chief smiled bitterly.

"But once the official of the Wano Kingdom characterizes him as a 'high-risk element', as long as the Celestial Government is still in the sky, it will completely cut off the possibility that he will be accepted by the high-level of the Wano Country after revealing his true identity one day, and any ally on the continent will not accept him."

Speaking of this, the editor-in-chief paused and continued, "The only way waiting for him is to join the pirates or the revolutionary army, and they are both dark and endless. ”

Keita Fumori, who was just in the mood of being in the mood of Congressman Hope's murder and revenge, was obviously unaware of the deeper things behind this.

At this time, he gradually reacted, frowned and asked, "Then what if he doesn't join anyone?" ”

"It has been said that those who live in isolation are either beasts or gods." The editor-in-chief smiled bitterly, shook his head and added, "Man is a social animal, we need friends and groups to rely on, but he can only live alone in the dark, unless..."

"Unless?"

Keita Fumori looked at him.

"Unless you wake up one day, the Celestial World Government will cease to exist."

The editor-in-chief shrugged his shoulders a little self-deprecatingly, "But a thousand years have passed like this, and that day is too far away, I'm afraid we won't be able to see it." ”

"So it means... In the future, we will write about him, and he will be a high-risk element? ”

"That's right, he can only be a high-risk element, a high-risk element who assassinated the Celestial Councillor."

The voice fell...

The office was quiet again.

......

Upper Kyoto City Circle.

downtown

Top floor of World Bank headquarters.

The contemporary patriarch of the Celestial Fox Bart family and the current president of the World Bank, Betancourt. Bart took out the remote control and turned off the TV that had been interrupted from the live signal, and turned his head to look out of the floor-to-ceiling window.

In fact, as early as when the signal was broadcast on television from the far east, Betancourt received the news from the scene that the seventh eldest member of the family had returned from the scene - the "nouveau riche" Congressman Hope in the eyes of everyone in Beijing and Kowloon had died at the Rising Sun Island Execution Ground in Wano Country.

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the door outside.

A moment later, a middle-aged man in a formal suit walked in.

He respectfully saluted the gray-haired old man in front of him, and reported, "Hope is dead, and the other party claims to be... The specific identity of the 'Discipline Discipline Commissioner' of New Tokyo is not clear for the time being. ”

"I already know the news."

Betancourt bowed lightly, "Then Hope's properties in New Tokyo should be taken over as soon as possible, and don't forget to give other families a piece of the pie and make money in harmony." ”

"Yes."

The middle-aged man said respectfully.

Although the old man in front of him was full of silver hair and drooping old.

But in the face of this old man who has been in charge of the family for nearly a hundred years and has led the Bart family through countless ups and downs behind the scenes of the world government, all the middle-aged man can do is to respectfully obey the other party's dispatch.

But just as the middle-aged man turned to go out, Betancourt gently tapped his wrinkled forehead, and said slowly:

"There is one more thing, you go and contact the other celestial families, and in the name of the Adjudication Division, plan a special operation investigation team as soon as possible, and rush to the country."

"What do you mean?" The middle-aged man asked.

"That's right, investigate that..."'Discipline Commissioner'."

Bettencourt smiled silently, his eyes became dark and deep, and he said slowly, "Councilor Hope can die, he can die at any time, but he can only die in Shangjing." ”

"This world is not a world where you can break the rules at will just with a mask.

"The humans of Wano Country... Crossed the line. ”

The middle-aged man's expression suddenly turned grim when he heard this.

He was well aware that Councillor Hope's death was not important in the eyes of the Nine.

But the majesty of the Lords of the celestial nobility is important.

Although the Nine Heavens and Men chose to withdraw from the stage of history due to some well-known reasons sealed in history in the human revolution a hundred years ago, they handed over the ownership authority held by the world government for thousands of years on the surface, and at the same time withdrew from the sight of ordinary people all over the world.

But they never disappeared.

Exit is just a gesture,

A gesture of silence lurking in the shadows.

When the time comes, they can let the people of the world know what power and terrifying power they have.

Crush a human being who tries to break the rules,

It's just too relaxing.

......

The death of Councillor Hope was like a storm that quickly swept through all corners of the world, and different forces and different people had different reactions after hearing the news...

Either deep thought or indifference.

Excited, angry...

Everything is still brewing in the dark...

And at this time, the Rising Sun Island of Wano Country,

The epicenter of this storm.

Next to the ruins of the execution table, Higashinohara stood in the rain and let the rain wash over his body, after the extreme battle, he was often extremely tired, even if there was a [blood embrace] to feed, at this moment his whole body seemed to be squeezed dry.

Distant seaside port containers, Sakamoto and Adams. Carl's fierce fight continues, and from time to time a loud sound can be heard as containers are smashed.

At some point, the guards of the Third Investigation Group gathered around Higashinohara, and everyone surrounded him "tightly" from a distance from the cordon.

They stared at the man in the dark gold mask in the rain, but their faces showed mixed expressions.

......

"What are you waiting for?!"

Foreign Minister Taku Amuro roared again, and he said coldly to Shin Takagi next to him, "Don't blame me for not reminding you of Takagi-san, you are in charge of the execution of the scene today, and now that the condemned prisoner is lost, even Lord Hope is dead, if people can't catch me, I'll see what you take and explain to the above." ”

Shin Takagi also felt a little tingling in his scalp.

He is a moderate, and he doesn't want to offend anyone in these years, and in a few years, he will be able to retire from the position of head of the Metropolitan Police Department and spend his old age after retirement.

Unexpectedly, today's execution on Rising Sun Island, the powerful Celestial Councilor of the House of Lords actually died under his nose, and he suddenly felt complicated when he looked at Higashinohara who was surrounded in the middle for a while.

Just as he gritted his teeth and was forced to give orders.

"Let me do it, they're no match."

Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind him.

Foreign Minister Takushi Amuro turned his head when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The person who came was one of the three absolute abilities who came to Rising Sun Harbor today after the Sakurada Gate, and the master of the talent sequence 33 [Wind Dance] was the night crow of the Four Maple Temple.

"Sifeng Yuansan, you are finally here, I am relieved to have your help." Foreign Minister Taku Amuro said but couldn't help but whisper, "Why didn't I find you just now, where did you go?" ”

The night crow of Sifeng Courtyard has a jumpy personality, and he is not as good at talking as the other two, but when he heard the words, he squinted, "Yuan Zhenyi, that old guy is seriously injured, I'll go see him, can't I?" ”

"Uh... Of course. Amuro Takuro choked suddenly, swallowed the words behind him, and bowed his head and said, "Then please ask Sifengyuan San to hurry up." ”

The Night Raven of Sifengyuan was noncommittal, and waved his hand to Takagi Shen lightly, "Let them all retreat, this kind of battle... It's not for them to be able to participate in. ”
